     Sadness is unpleasant, and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else, there is little
tolerance for falling in despair.Especially now we've got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings-whether it's
after losing a job, the breakup of a relationship or the death of a loved one.So it's no surprise that more
and more people are taking them.
      But is this really such a good idea?A growing number of voices from the world of mental health
research are saying it isn't.They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is
playing fast and loose (行為輕率). Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purpose-and if we lose it, we
lose out.Yet many psychiatrists (精神病醫(yī)生) insist not.Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into
depression (抑郁癥), they warn.Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to
make themselves feel better.
     So who is right?Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch?
There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life.It may be a selfprotection
strategy, as other primates (靈長類) also show signs of sadness.A losing monkey that doesn't show
sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey-and that could
result in death.
     In humans, sadness has a further function:we may display sadness as a form of communication.By
acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support.
     Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods.There are plenty of great artists,
writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder.Scientists find that people with
signs of depression perform better at a creative task, and that negative moods make people think deeply
over the unhappy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front.There is also evidence
that too much happiness can be bad for your career.A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10
on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s.The happiest people
lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.

1. The underlined word "this" refers to________.

A. taking drugs  
B. falling in despair
C. losing a job  
D. feeling sad

2. The author believes sadness is________.
A. a good thing for people's health
B. something horrible never to touch
C. a necessary function of humans
D. always to be treated as depression

3. Some animals show their sadness in order to________.

A. cheat their enemy 
B. protect themselves
C. comfort the loser  
D. challenge the winner

4. We can infer from the last paragraph that________.

A. people with great creativity tend to be happier
B. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
C. too much happiness can be bad for your career
D. the happiest people are the most successful ones

     Until the doctor told me that I might go blind, the future spread before me in all directions. My
paintings had been shown in New York galleries(藝術(shù)館).  I enjoyed the hours in my studio. But
now everything was shadowed with fear.
     One day, after I showed photos of my paintings to Ron, who was an eye doctor and sculptor
(雕塑家), he asked me to go to his school and show slides(幻燈片) of my work to his students
with developmental disorders.
     The next day, when I arrived at the school, I found one student was in the art room already waiting,
a young man in wheelchair. His head was held up by wires. His fingers were bent backward. When I
came in, his eyes met mine. A burst of voltage(電壓) passed from him to me.
     Two other students arrived, one of them wheeled in by Ron, who had invited me. This boy's arms
were lashed (扎捆) to his wheelchair.
     "Tim is a professional artist," Ron told the group,  " and is here to share his ideas. " Ideas? Getting free
of the limitations of the physical world-that was the point of my paintings. Was I supposed to share this
with people in the wheelchairs? Nervously I showed slides of my paintings.  You make art to say
something you can't say with words, I explained. These paintings might be about being held down, and
getting free.
     After I showed the last slide, Ron said, "Maybe Tim will come and visit again." " What do you say?"
he asked me. I looked at the man with the wired head.  When our eyes met, he nodded with a slight
movement of his head.
    The next few nights, I lay awake thinking about the million things these people could not do: climb a
tree, hold a spoon and turn the pages of a book. Yet there was that light in their eyes. What would they
tell us if they had the power?
    Then I called the school and reached the director of the ars program. "I was there a week ago,
showing slides of my paintings in Ron's class.  I was wondering if I could come back. " "To help with the
class?" she asked.
    "No," I said. "To start a new one. "
1. Immediately he was diagnosed with the eye illness, the writer       .    
A. felt worried about his future    
B. was doubtful about the diagnosis    
C. was concerned with the disabled people

B. wanted to encourage the writer to overcome difficulties    
C. thought his students needed some exercise and relaxation    
D. found a determined person in the writer

     Marriages improve after children grow up and move out,according to an academic study,which
suggests an "empty nest" is not always a bad thing.
     Popular wisdom has it that parents' relationships may suffer once their young fly the coop,because
they feel they have lost their purpose in life.However,a new study by researchers at the University of
California,Berkeley,has found that many couples actually feel happier when their children leave home
because they are able to enjoy spending time together.
     In total,123 American mothers born in the 1930s were tracked for 18 years and asked to rate their
satisfaction levels shortly after marrying,when they were bringing up babies,once their children reached
their teenage years and finally at age 61,when almost all had "empty nests".
     Although not all said they were happier in general,most claimed their marriages had improved since
their children had left home.Researchers believe this is not just because the spouses were spending more
time together,but because they were able to enjoy each other's company more.
     One of the participants in the study,which is published in the journal Psychological Science,said:"
Once the kids grow up...there's some of that stress removed...that responsibility removed,so things are
a little more relaxed."
    Psychologist Sara Gorchoff,who carried out the investigation,said:"The takehome message for
couples with young children is 'hang in there'. " Her coauthor Oliver John added:"Don't wait until your
kids leave home to schedule quality time with your partner."
     However,Dr Dorothy Rowe,from the British Psychological Society,said the effects of living in an
"empty nest" will depend on the parents' relationship with their children."If you're just waiting for them
to leave home so you can get on with your life,then of course you'll be pleased to see them go," she said,
"But if you've built your life around your children you'll be terribly lonely.For some parents,their world
falls apart when their children leave."

1. It is commonly believed that________.

A. marriages improve after children leave home
B. an "empty nest" is always a happy thing
C. parents' relationships may suffer once their young grow up and move out
D. parents will be pleased after their children leave home

2. When did many couples feel happier according to the study?

A. At age 61,when almost all had "empty nests".
B. Shortly after marrying.
C. Once their children reached their teenage years.
D. When they were bringing up babies.

3. Marriages improve after children fly the coop not because______.

A. many couples are able to spend time together
B. many couples are able to enjoy each other's company
C. things are a little more relaxed
D. many couples needn't work at all

4. The author of the passage tends to agree that________.

A. parents should build their life around their kids
B. parents should schedule quality time with each other before kids leave home
C. parents' relationship with their kids has no effect on marriages at all
D. parents should be pleased to see their kids leave home

     Every summer thousands of Americans stay at home instead of going on holiday because they're
overweight. They don't want people to see them sunbathing and they don't want to have to squeeze into
plane seats. But now, thanks to the growing number of weight-friendly holiday packages, the overweight
are having their days in the sun.
     "Overweight people will have a great time an our holidays as we don't judge them like other people
do," said Liz Nickels, owner of Big Adventures, a US based company that hosts scuba-diving-a sport
of swimming underwater while breathing through a tube connected to a tank on your back for large
people.  As a way to keep up with the demand for extra-large accommodation, many hotels in the US
have started to offer features such as wide beds and handheld showers. But the best in plus-size
vacationing lies at Mexico's Freedom Paradise, a112-room resort(度假勝地) opening this month,
which urges guests to "Live Large, Live Free".
     The hotel has broad doorways,  reinforced (加固) furniture and extra large chairs. It also boasts
(自夸) a private beach to protect people from the stares that can occur on public beaches.  "It's not a
hotel just for large people. It's a size-friendly place where anyone can enjoy a holiday," said owner
Jurrian Kilnk. "What we noticed was that a lot of oversized people don't feel comfortable at resorts. "
Staff members of all sizes are hired by the hotel to make overweight people feel OK.
     Though many welcome the new service, some feel differently. "I have a real problem with this," said
Nancy Lenhart, owner of Camp La Jolla, a Californian weight-loss and fitness camp.
     "If you talk about oversized beds and doorways, you are throwing their weight in their faces.
Overweight people want to be normalized. They shouldn't be discriminated against like this. "
1. Large people don't want to go on holiday because       .    
A. they don't like sun-bathing    
B. they don't want to be looked at    
C. the planes are too crowded    
D. the hotels are not open to them
2. In the first paragraph, weight-friendly holiday packages means _     .    

A. there are some free packages for the overweight    
B. people are friendly to the overweight    
C. special holiday tour for the overweight    
D. the overweight can lose weight

3. Scuba-diving is a sport of swimming _     .    
A. for larger people    
B. only for larger people    
C. jumping from the platform    
D. underwater
4. Mexico's Freedom Paradise is a hotel          .       
A. for people of all sizes    
B. only intended for larger people    
C. where everything is oversized    
D. where larger people can live for free
5. The underlined part "you are throwing their weight in their faces" means         .

     So much to do, so little time. So much information, so little time to read it.  In this age there is more
information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything we want to read. However,
you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading. This article will not make you
read 3 000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed significantly. You will also
learn the basic techniques of speed-reading, along with the do's and don'ts of speed-reading.
     When you first learned to read, you would say the word out aloud and sound it out. Then you might
whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud. The stage you are now at
is saying the word in your head. Most people tend to read this way. Saying the word in your head will
cut your reading speed tremendously(極大地) .
    How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute
you can read. Get some reading material, preferably a book. Find out how many words are on the page.
Time yourself for one minute. Start your timer and start reading. When the timer beeps, stop. If you
counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, and then you are
probably reading at 250 words per minute.
    The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it.  Don't say the word in
your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps of four words or
more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed reading.
     The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first
be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal(水平的) surface, such as a table desk. Next,
you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words.
Lastly, you should be focused. It's hard to read with a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will
help your understanding of the text. You need something to guide your eyes while reading. That's right,
you should use your hand. Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger. That is a
great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line, move your finger smoothly
across the page. No need to go rush, start out slow. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you
recognize them while using your hand as a guide. This will increase your speed.
     The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Set time intervals(間歇). Read using different
techniques, but make sure you understand what you're reading.
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?      
A. Now there is limited information than ever before.      
B. Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information.      
C. Now people can read what they like.      
D. Now the less you read, the more time you will spend.
2. What is the subject discussed in the text?    
A. What speed-reading is.    
B. Why we need speed-reading.    
C. Now it is much information time.    
D. People should practice speed-reading in different kinds of ways.
3. The underlined sentence "you should be focused" in the fifth paragraph means that        .  
A. a person should devote his attention to it while reading      
B. your feelings will be hurt while reading      
C. a person should smooth away difficulties while he reads      
D. you should pay attention to your faults while you are reading

      Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead, realize that the
seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those
seeds grow.
      The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind.Success is a choice but not
a chance.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
      You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊). Your level of selfesteem is
always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life.
People with low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives.They
are leaves tossed (搖擺) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
      You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible
for whatever happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful
people realize that they are responsible.
      Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect.
We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe.Thoughts and beliefs cause
everything.Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time.One
generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success
depends upon our level of confidence.We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking
bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
      If you associate with positivethinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success.On the
contrary, the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds
that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
      In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are
responsible.Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.

1. Losers would think that________.

A. success is the result of hard work
B. working hard will lead to success
C. they fail only because of bad luck
D. they don't make efforts to succeed

2. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that________.

A. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
B. developing confidence is the key to future success
C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action

3. The last paragraph serves as________.

A. the proof of the author's point
B. the conclusion of the argument
C. an introduction to another topic
D. a comparison between two views

4. Which is the best title of the text?

A. Success is a choice
