Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States, there are various independent organizations offering similar activities.
Students can participate ( take part ) in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies . Anyone can register ( 登記 ) with such groups , which then organize courses ,training and trips for all members .
One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain , is Outward Bound ( 戶外訓練 ) . It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year .
The courses are to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence , self-esteem ( 自尊 ) and character . As well as specialist courses such as canoeing , leadership skills and sailing , participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills .
Michael Williams , an American student , took part in an Outward Bound course last year . He said : “We learned lots of first aid skills , lots of natural history , lots of environmental facts , and participated in a wildlife preservation ( protecting ) programme . Beyond that , my favorite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing .”
Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14 . Students must be in general good health , but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports . There is no selection process ; everyone is welcome , although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical power .
Most of the British courses take place in the Beacons in Wales . Another similar organization is the UK Survival School , which includes courses on learning to live with the environment , sailing and winter survival . On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food , how to make fire and cook with it , to find and build a shelter , control survival life support , how to cross rivers , send off an SOS signal , and to use compasses by day and night .
According to the leaders , such adventures are “an awakening , an exploration into unknown.” Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body traveling some of the earth’s roughest wildness areas .”

People have been listening to music to get in the mood for hundreds of years. Recently, there is scientific research to back up what we have always known about music. The studies have shown that when people are excited or happy they are more helpful. The opposite happens when people feel aggressive(好斗的) or under stress. The use of music can influence how helpful people can be.
Dr Adrian North made a study with 256 university students. Half the group took exercise in the gymnasium listening to music which can bring happiness and the other half exercised to aggressive music. When leaving the gym, the students were asked to hand out flyers (傳單) in support of the local disabled athlete’s foundation.
The results showed that nearly half of the group that listened to happy music were willing to hand out flyers. But in the group that heard the aggressive music, less than 20% were willing. This study suggests that our choice of music can influence our willingness to cooperate(合作).
While a study also shows that productivity (生產效率) can increase with the right choice of background music in the workplace. As music stimulates (刺激) workers’ minds, job satisfaction is often positively influenced. Other studies have shown that workers who are in a good mood report more job satisfaction than those in a bad mood.
These studies show that music can have a powerful influence on a person’s ability to cooperate. Moods have a direct influence on cooperation and job satisfaction, etc. These factors also have a direct relationship to the success of a business.
小題1:The underlined words “back up” in the paragraph can be replaced by _____.
A．supportB．leaveC．refuseD．compare
小題2:In the studies mentioned in the passage, music is used to _____.
A．express people’s ideasB．change people’s moods
C．improve people’s healthD．show people’s love of arts
小題3:According to the passage, people who are in a good mood _____.
A．can understand the musicB．have a good taste in music
C．might do well in their workD．are influenced by others
小題4:The passage is mainly about _______.
A．effort and successB．music and science
C．work and lifeD．music and mood

Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical（批判性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（過程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.
The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen—beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning (錯誤的推理).
Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker; if you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.
Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world, fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banish Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, "Please go slowly, I don't understand things quickly."
小題1:Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically,__________.
A．it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast
B．we will follow the ideas of others naturally
C．we might be controlled by other people's ideas
D．we might be fooled by other people's ideas
小題2:If you are a critical thinker, you will________.
A．criticize other people for their mistakesB．trust the reports in the newspapers
C．take one view against another viewD．think deeply about different ideas
小題3:In the last paragraph, "something new" suggests that________.
A．the smarter you are, the faster you do things
B．intelligence is not decided by speed
C．speed can improve intelligence
D．the faster you do things, the smarter you become
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Understanding Critical ThinkingB．Thinking and Critical Thinking
C．Thinking Natural and HumanD．Thinking Fast Means Intelligence

A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog（博客）”.The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like. There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information，advertisements, advice and ideas for many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year. 
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products. At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service “weblogs. com”. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing. One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web-site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far. Ms. Blood says Rebecea’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything — politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on -line bank accounts.
小題1:The author wrote this passage mainly to _________.
A．introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog”

D．tell readers about blogs
小題2:From the passage we can learn that blogs cover almost everything EXCEPT ______.
A．account passwordsB．medical advice
C．advertisementsD．different ideas
小題3:Dave Winer closed his “weblogs. Com” because __________.
A．more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity
B．American companies used blogs to advertise their products
C．people stole money from on -line bank accounts
D．He couldn’t afford the increasing money needed to run the blogs
小題4:The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that ______.
A．it was created by a woman
B．it is about the history of blogs
C．it provides useful information and advice

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind;
Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, "Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional．network． You don't need to dress like you're going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put-together．"
Lo go mania（品牌熱癥）: Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at．It's tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands．But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style．Instead of wearing logos head to toe, "walking advertisement"-style, why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses．Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you're exercising． Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear; As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level．So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them．Sure, kittens might be cute, but they're not doing you any favors in the style department．Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!
小題1:The second paragraph indicates the importance of               .
A．impressing professorsB．getting on well with classmates
C．creating a professional imageD．dressing appropriately
小題2:The author believes that college girls should                .
A．choose a logo that suits their age
B．try to load up on well-known logos
C．use logos to show who they are
D．find their identity by trying different logos
小題3:In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?
A．Business Week．B．Parents
C．In style．D．Travel&Leisure

I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about them. Eventually, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.
I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.
小題1:What does the author value most in the communication with each other?
A．Deep understandingB．Saying “I’m Sorry”.
C．Attention from heart.D．Doing nothing.
小題2:The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because ______.
A．She didn’t get enough respect from others
B．she was discouraged by being often interrupted
C．people often told her their own opinions
D．people couldn’t understand her sad situation
小題3: If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may ______.
A．hurt his feelingsB．make him embarrassed
C．encourage him to continue to cryD．stop him from letting out his sorrow
小題4: It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating, ______.
A．listening is a perfect way to respond to others
B．people keep silent because they don’t know the answer
C．keeping silent means being too shy to speak
D．it is easy to form the habit of listening silently

I had made up my mind a long time ago that I would not give a homeless person money, because I could never be sure what that money would be used for. Instead, I decided, I would buy them a sandwich, a cold drink on a hot day, a cup of coffee, whatever I could manage.
I was out recently and saw a homeless man outside of a Starbucks. I decided I would buy this man lunch. I bought a sandwich and soda.
Just as I was leaving the store, two policemen were approaching the man. Obviously the shop owners had complained of his wandering and the police were there to draw him away from the storefronts. Just as they were about to wake him, I asked one of the officers if it was all right if I just gave the man something before he went. I was not sure why I asked the permission but the policeman said sure and I just left the bag in the man’s cart, got in my car and drove off.
As I was driving off I remember thinking “I hope people saw that”. Then I had to seriously ask myself why I hoped people had seen me give the man a sandwich from Starbucks. Was it because I wanted people to think, “She’s such a nice person!”? Why did I hope others had seen me do it? I continued to wonder this all evening.
The next morning, it came to me that I wanted people to have witnessed that small act of kindness not so that I would receive credit and praise but so that they might be inspired to do the same and in so doing that others still would witness their acts of kindness. Thus the whole spirit of pity and giving would be lasting.
小題1:The underlined word “Starbucks” in the second paragraph is the name of a _________.
A．shopB．bookstoreC．bankD．man
小題2:When the author saw the homeless man, he was __________.
A．begging outsideB．buying goods
C．staying awakeD．falling asleep
小題3:What’s the purpose of the passage?
A．To show the author is great.
B．To encourage people to help others.
C．To introduce an experience that changed the author.
D．To call on people not to give money to a homeless man.
小題4:The author can be best described as __________.
A．bad-temperedB．hard-working
C．kind-heartedD．self-confident
