     A popular saying goes, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
However, that's not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter
if the words come from someone's else or ourselves - the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
    We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we
really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy
habit.
   This "self-talk" helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves
down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay
positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give
ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your
room, join me in saying "Good job!"
     Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we
should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item
to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably
respond in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to
be defensive.
     Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said.
And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it
loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.
     Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when
we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best.
Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.
A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
B. inspiring words give us confidence
C. negative words may let us down    
D. words have a lasting effect on us
2. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _______
A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B. we can benefit from talking to ourselves
C. talking to ourselves always gives us courage
D. it does no harm to have "self-talk" when we are alone
3. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _______
A. praise ourselves                  
B. remind ourselves
C. make ourselves relaxed              
D. give ourselves amusement
4. The author would probably hold the view that ___________
A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
B. negative words may stimulate(刺激) us to make more progress
C. people tend to remember friendly words
D. it is better to think twice before talking to others

     I credit my typing skill to so many hours of chatting online. Unfortunately, as my typing speed
increased on the Internet, all grammatical rules went out of the window. You see instant messages
have their own shorthand language and grammar isn't important, of which even a newbie (新手) is
aware. They can leave out articles, subjects (主語), pronouns, etc. They can misspell or "respell"
almost any word. They often ask "A/S/L" when they first chat. Abbreviations (縮寫) and
capitalizations (大寫) are particularly important. English-speaking instant messengers also refuse
to burden themselves with punctuation and capitalization.
    After I came back China, I discovered not one but two instant messaging crazes. The first, which
brought back memories of my previous addiction to the computer, was QQ. I can see evidence that
the Chinese have the same kind of separate instant messaging language, even when they chat in
English. My first word in this language, for example, was "ft". This abbreviation for "faint" is used
whenever there is a need to express surprise. I also discovered that Chinese use the same kind of
abbreviation for a laugh. And there is an extraordinary number of smileys (表情符) to the "vomit"
and "army soldier" smileys. There is even a SARA smiley.
     After QQ, there is another, perhaps more widespread messaging trend. You guessed it-cell phone
text messaging. I now understand how useful text messaging is and why it is so common. I admit that
I have been guilty of sending text messages while walking outside or sitting on the subway. Who
hasn't ? No matter where I go, I see people on their cell phones, messaging. In fact, it's rare to see
someone actually talking on their phone!
     So it looks as if there is no escape from the instant messaging crazes, no matter where in the
world I go. And that's plainly not going to change. In the end, though, I can't complain: instant
messaging is quick, it's cheap, it's easy and it's extremely fun too. And after all, everyone's doing it.

1. The underlined phrase "went out of the window" in Paragraph 1 probably means        . 
A. increased  
B. occurred  
C. disappeared  
D. changed
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Grammar and correct spelling are very important while chatting online. 
B. There are enough smileys and icons to express yourselves while chatting on line.
C. The writer is skilled at typing and once was addicted to online games.
D. It is impolite to leave out some unimportant words or letters while chatting online.
3. The writer believes that instant messaging is          .
A. full of fun but time-consuming  
B. widespread but unnecessary
C. quick but difficult to do  
D. common, used and cheap
4. Which might be the main idea of the passage?
A. Who can escape QQ and cell phone text messaging?  
B. Why is instant messaging so popular?
C. Chatting online is good for your typing skill.
D. Chatting on QQ is natural for people.

Directions: The following people are expressing their thoughts (1-5) to show their concern for food,
environment and so on. After that are pieces of related information (A-F). Now decide which piece of
information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions 1-5 and mark your
answer letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
______ 1. How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed,
that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of
waste hardly rots away.
______ 2. More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and
cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.
______ 3. Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact
that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides (農(nóng)藥).
______ 4. I'm very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many
vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread
pesticides.
______ 5. Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they
are clearly marked.
A. "Organic produce is always better," Gold said. "The food is free of pesticides, and you are generally
supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so
it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets
across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.
B. Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for
their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of
pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local
but imported to meet growing demand. "The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every
year, so it is a very fast-growing market," said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
C. Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of
consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is
that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get
rid of.
D. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they
buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these:"Will this
shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
E. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds.
Some supermarket products carry labels (標(biāo)簽) to show that the product is green. Some companies have
made the manufacturing (制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their
advertising.
F. The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No
longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public
pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

     Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong
signals(信號(hào)). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a
relationship.
     Different cultures emphasize(強(qiáng)調(diào)) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with
people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before
they do
any job. In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
     Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence.
The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that
they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but
people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
     Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and
German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think
that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more
quickly.
      People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite
against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化
環(huán)境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,

A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by name

3. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life

      Most people say" yes" much more readily than" no".
     A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some
help,and you agree. But, what you really wanted was relaxing at
home for a couple of quiet days,or a roommate spends the whole
weekend playing video games and wants to borrow your homework
for"reference". But,you've just finished it after working hard for a
whole day.
     Many people say" yes" to this kind of requests. They tend not
to consider their own interests and feelings,and are often angry with
themselves afterwards. Saying" no" requires courage and considerable
practice. " Everyone wants to be liked. " says Gabriele Steinki,a
German psychologist. "Saying'no'risks losing the affection of the
person asking for the favor. Or even a job. "The result is that many
people say"yes"just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is
regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say" no". In fact, rejecting
a request can even help to stabilize a relationship because it
expresses real affection. But,for peop'le accustomed to agreeing every
request,it's very distressing to say" no".
     Most people believe that if they say" no" ,they'll lose the affection
of the person. But the affection is important to them. This way
of thinking can be replaced by this:"If he only likes me because I
always do what suits him,then the price of this affection is too high
in the long term. "
    When people say " no", Steinki advises giving the reasons
calmly until the person gets the message.

     Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course,
there have always been people who have looked for adventure-those who have climbed the highest
mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.
Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a
few minutes or even seconds.
     I would consider bungee-jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high
place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有彈性的)
rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers. It is estimated that 2 million people around the
world have now tried bungee-jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as
bungee-jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.
     Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life
in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago people's lives were constantly under
threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a
continuous battle for survival.
     Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe environments；they buy food in shops；and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee-jumping.
1. A suitable title for the text is "        ".
A. Dangerous Sports:What and Why?
B. The Boredom of Modern Life
C. Bungee-jumping:Is It Really Dangerous?
D. The Need for Excitement
2. More and more people today are         .
A. trying activities such as bungee-jumping
B. climbing the highest mountains
C. coming close to death in sports
D. looking for adventures such as exploring unknown places
3. People take part in dangerous sports nowadays probably because           .
A. they have a lot of free time
B. they can go to hospital when they are injured
C. their lives are short of excitement
D. they no longer need to hunt for food
4. What does the word "thrill" in the first paragraph mean?
A. a strong feeling of excitement
B. a feeling of unhappiness
C. a feeling of feeling upset
D. a feeling of being frightened
