Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value. The concept dates back to 1623 when the first patent law to protect IP sights was passed. IP rights protect the artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example, if somebody generated an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/ she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing. But today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who creative music, art and literature.
In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether; the Internet. Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, form a book store. In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet. This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights.

It is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.
I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交際場合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格內(nèi)向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.
What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do , they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.

  1. 1.

    What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?

    1. A.
      A person who is quiet may not be shy.
    2. B.
      A shy person may not be a calm one.
    3. C.
      Quiet people are usually doubtful.
    4. D.
      Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.
  2. 2.

    The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means ______.

    1. A.
      lazy
    2. B.
      careful
    3. C.
      eager
    4. D.
      unwilling
  3. 3.

    According to the author, introverted people can be successful because they usually ___________.

    1. A.
      have a strong will
    2. B.
      talk less and show off less
    3. C.
      learn more than extroverts
    4. D.
      have a good attitude to learning
  4. 4.

    1. A.
      energy
    2. B.
      courage
    3. C.
      quietness
    4. D.

When you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Rivera, the stresses (壓力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation—you have to finish something.
Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (評論家) Edie Jarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere--- in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resorts.
Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommer’s travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer’s, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor’s where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U.S. that she moved there.
Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.
As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it’s great to write about a tourist attraction, but you’d better get the local museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.

  1. 1.

    What is most difficult for Jarolim?

    1. A.
      Working in different places to collect information.
    2. B.
      Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.
    3. C.
      Finishing her work as soon as possible.
    4. D.
      Passing a test to write travel guides.
  2. 2.

    What do we know about Jarolim from the text?

    1. A.
      She is successful in her job.
    2. B.
      She finds her life full of stresses.
    3. C.
      She spends half of her time traveling.
    4. D.
      She is especially interested in museums.
  3. 3.

    What would be the best title for the text?

    1. A.
      Adventures in Travel Writing
    2. B.
      Working as a Food Critic
    3. C.
      Travel Guides on the Market

It all started at the beginning of this term. At first, Carmen wasn’t really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (瞇眼) to see the blackboard clearly. As it got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the notes and homework the teacher wrote on the board.
In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboard. One day, her teacher said, “Carmen, I’ve noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?” Carmen shook her head. “I’m fine, Mrs. Cruz.”
At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite shows.
“Tomorrow I will go to see a doctor,” she said firmly. Three days later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think I am a nerd (書呆子)，” she said. “You look just as beautiful with those glasses on as you do without them,” her mother said. But Carmen didn’t believe her.
The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Theresa shout. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
“My silver ring is gone!” Theresa cried. Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the grassy area of the playground.
Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them on. Everything looked so different! So clear! And a glimmer (微光) of silver caught her eye.
“Here it is,” she shouted. “Thanks Carmen,” Theresa said. “I didn’t know you wore glasses. They look great!” “Thanks,” Carmen replied shyly.
As they walked back toward the school building, two more girls praised her glasses. Carmen smiled. “Maybe wearing glasses won’t be so bad after all,” she thought.

When I say “work is rest”, some people will say I’m crazy. But that’s the way it is—we need to rest. Without rest, we will die. At a minimum, we won’t have the energy to work.
Nobody forces us to be so stupid about this. We just don’t know how to rest properly. We rest in ways that are not restful, even stressful. Some of our ways of rest interfere (妨礙) with our working energy. Instead of sleep, we go to the movies and clubs, drink or have a smoke with friends. This is because we misunderstand the meaning of “rest.”
We should remember that rest means not working, both physically and mentally. Only then is it real rest. When tired, rest. It’s simple. Actually, dogs and cats are smarter about this than people. People are stupid enough to rest in ways that destroy their capacity (能力) to work.
Rest and work always go together. There must be a balance: work during the day and rest at night. When the sun comes up, one has plenty of strength to work well and enjoy it. In other words, rest is a kind of investment, so that one has the strength and energy to continue working. So we need rest to work, recognizing that we can’t have one without the other. Rest is what recharges our batteries. We need enough time to charge up adequately to the tasks we undertake. Thus, we need to rest correctly; otherwise, illness will occur and also can affect the efficiency of our work.
Rest can’t be skimped. Without enough rest, good work is impossible. This is why we say that rest is another kind of work.

  1. 1.

    Which of the following is the best rest according to this passage?

    1. A.
      Going to the movies and clubs.    
    2. B.
      Drinking or having a smoke with friends.
    3. C.
      Sleeping at home.                         
    4. D.
      Playing cards with family members.
  2. 2.

    The underlined word “skimped” in the last paragraph most probably means _____.

    1. A.
      not supplied with enough of what is needed
    2. B.
      strengthened in spite of the conditions
    3. C.
      recharged during the time of working            
    4. D.
      invested without any of the cost
  3. 3.

    We can know from this passage that _____.

    1. A.
      dogs and cats are smarter than we human beings
    2. B.
      rest can make us work more efficiently
    3. C.
      it’s not proper to sleep in the daytime for people.
    4. D.
      rest is more important than work for people

Many people believe the glare（炫目的光）from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness ,when exposed to several hours of“ snow light”.
The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow -covered country. Rather ,a man’s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on （聚集）in a broad space of snow- covered without- grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid （流體） which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see dearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snowblindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts（偵察兵）ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow - covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark - colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow -blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time. the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.

  1. 1.

    To prevent snowblindness caused by the strong light from snow, wearing glasses or not ________.

    1. A.
      depends on whether the snow is white enough
    2. B.
      makes no difference
    3. C.
      makes much difference
    4. D.
      depends on whether the snow is thick
  2. 2.

    When the eyes are tired, tears flow out ________.

    1. A.
      to clear the vision
    2. B.
      to make the eyes stop searching
    3. C.
      to make the vision unclear
    4. D.
      to produce more and more liquid
  3. 3.

    Snowblindness can be avoided ________.

    1. A.
      by moving one’s gaze back and forth
    2. B.
      by walking ahead and keeping looking around
    3. C.
      by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyes
    4. D.
      by providing the eyes with something to focus on
