Sometimes your friends start to talk about a new video game or a new app they have downloaded. It sounds pretty cool, and your friends really seem to like it. You become so (interest) in it that you want to buy it too. Has this ever happened to you?
In the US and in places around the world, there is a similar feeling of wanting the (new), greatest tech gadgets (小玩意). There is a big (attract) to getting the latest technology even though people may not need it. But why is this?
As to(關(guān)于) these technologies, there's initial （最初的） excitement that (get) people's attention, according to Richard Larson, a director at MIT, US. If there's a big group of people want these things, you want to be a part of the excitement too.
One of the major US (company) that really take advantage of this is Apple. It comes out with a new iPhone with very small changes every year. But people still flock (涌入) to the stores even if they have just bought the previous phone.
However, （buy）these things may not always be the best choice. You could be buying things that you don't really need and (spend) too much money just for the right to show it off to your friends.
Not only that, but our need to always be on your phones or playing video games takes a lot of time in our lives. So is this excitement over technology a good or a bad thing?

【答案】interested；newest；attraction；an；gets；who/that；companies；buying；spending；up
【解析】本文通過(guò)一些實(shí)例分析了人們追求最新的東西的心理。

⑴句意：你變的對(duì)它感興趣。固定短語(yǔ)become interested in變的對(duì)...感興趣,故填interested。

⑵聯(lián)系前后文 the后 ________(new), 和greatest 是并列結(jié)構(gòu)，也就是要用形容詞最高級(jí)，最新的，故填newest。

⑶根據(jù)前面的a big可知此處用名詞形式，故填attraction。

⑷句意：有一個(gè)最初的興奮引起了人們的注意。 excitement興奮在此是抽象名詞具體化，initial以元音音素開(kāi)頭，故填an。

⑸excitement是先行詞是單數(shù)，在從句中作主語(yǔ)，故定語(yǔ)從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)，根據(jù)文章用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)，故填gets。

⑹句意：如果有一大群想要這些東西的人，此處people作先行詞，指人，在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)，故填who/that。

⑺固定結(jié)構(gòu)one of+可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填companies。

⑻句意：然而，購(gòu)買這些東西未必總是最好的選擇。句子缺主語(yǔ)，做某事做主語(yǔ)要用動(dòng)名詞形式，故填buying。

⑼此處與and前面的buying并列，故填spending。

⑽句意：玩電子游戲在我們的生活中占了很多時(shí)間。 固定詞組take up占用（時(shí)間，空間），開(kāi)始從事，故填up。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿勢(shì)). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse(噘嘴) your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.
Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厭惡) and fear to come through.
（1）When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that ________.
A.he is angry
B.he is outgoing
C.he is cool
D.he is not afraid
（2）If you want to appear confident, you should ________.
A.cross your arms
B.move your head a little
C.keep your head level
D.move your arms a lot
（3）Which of the following movements shows someone is nervous?
A.Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards.
B.Moving around a lot more than normal.
C.Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.
D.Having the lips pursed to hold back an angry comment.
（4）What can we infer from the passage?
A.Body language can express more meanings than words do in communication.
B.It's not polite to use body language in formal communication.
C.Different people in different countries must have the same understanding of the same body movement.
D.We cannot communicate with others without words.

Xinhua News—The Beijing government has set out to recruit thousands of university graduates to work as junior officials in rural areas to both improve rural administration and ease the city's employment problems.
The government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year, 1,000 more than last year, to work as assistants to village heads or party secretaries in suburban areas.

Old age may not sound exciting.But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty.In fact，they say by the age of eightyfive，people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States.The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008.At that time，the people were between the ages of eighteen and eightyfive.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness，sadness and worry.They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twentytwo and twentyfive.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older.However，women at all ages reported more sadness，stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older.One theory is that，as people grow older，they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world，or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children，being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.

The teenage years can be tough，and it's normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don't go away or become so intense that you can't handle them，you may be suffering from depression.
Try not to isolate yourself
When you're depressed，you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult，but isolating yourself only makes depression even worse. ． Spend time with friends，especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your moods. Ever heard of “Runners High”？Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression，so get involved in sports，ride your bike，or take a dance class. Any activity helps！ ． As for food，make sure you're feeding your mind with plenty of fruits，vegetables，and whole grains.
Avoid alcohol and drugs
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “mood boost”，even if just for a short time. However，substance abuse can not only make depression worse，but can cause you to become more depressed. ． You will need special treatment for your substance abuse problem.

Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition，if you have a health concern you feel you can't talk to your parents about，see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you're dealing with relationships，friendships，or family problems，talk to an adult you trust.
A．Ask for help if you are stressed
B．Even a short walk can be beneficial
C．Turn to your parents for help
D．As you get out into the world，you may find yourself feeling better
E．In short，drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse—not better—in the long run
F．The more exercise you do，the healthier you will be
G．Help is available and you have more power than you think
