In the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.
First, let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.
This has several implications（含義）. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”,but “text me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are.”
Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS (Short Message Service) Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”－those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.
They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.
Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on people’s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.
小題1:The “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that ________.
A．people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexibly
B．people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meet
C．people are able to meet someone at any place and any time
D．people have to attend phone meetings than ever before
小題2:According to the two British researchers, the Social and Psychological Effects are most likely to be seen on ________.
A．talkersB．the “speakeasy”C．the “space maker”D．texters
小題3:According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?
A．talkersB．the “speakeasy”C．the “spacemaker” D．texters
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．the Influence of Short Message Service
B．Changes Caused by Mobile Phone Use
C．Changes in the Use of the Mobile
D．Body Language and the Mobile Phone

For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured (忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being ‘processed’ at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being ‘processed’ at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday-maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people’s lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.
小題1: What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?
A．Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B．Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.
C．The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.
D．The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.
小題2:How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?
A．By giving examples.
B．By giving instructions.
C．By analyzing cause and effect.
D．By following the order of time.
小題3:According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because ______.
A．they pay less for the tickets
B．they feel safer during the travel
C．they can enjoy higher speed of travel
D．they don’t have to waste time being ‘processed’
小題4: What does the last sentence of the passage mean?
A．They could travel with their master.
B．They needed the clock to tell the time.
C．They preferred traveling on horseback.
D．They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.

There used to be a term that was used to describe someone who drove their vehicles down the highway while staring at the scenery. These drivers just drove slowly, taking their own sweet time, as if they had nothing to do and no place in particular to go. Thus, the expression, “Sunday driver”, was born. Consequently, a Sunday driver wasn’t necessarily someone who was driving on a Sunday. A person could be a Sunday driver any day of the week. The expression simply meant that the person was an obstacle to other drivers who were in a hurry.
The expression probably came about because there was a time when people would often decide to go for a relaxing drive on Sunday afternoons. A Sunday drive was a common occurrence years ago and especially on a nice warm sunny day. There were no stores open on Sunday because of the “blue laws”, so you needed to be sure and fill up the gas tank and make any other needed purchases before Sunday arrived.
Some of the states had strict blue laws that even prohibited some activities on Sunday. However, there is still a lot to be said for the slow, gentle life that once existed. It was a time when very few people worked on Sunday except for those professions vital to our well-being such as those in the medical profession. It was a day “set apart” that was used to rest, visit with neighbors and friends, or maybe go to grandma’s house for supper. Today there are many who return to work and children who go back to school overly tired on Monday due to a lack of rest. Perhaps there would be less stress related illnesses if we really kept Sunday as a day of rest.
小題1:According to the passage, “Sunday driver” refers to the person who ______.
A．drives his vehicle on Sundays
B．drives for fun and relaxation
C．enjoys a weekend break
D．makes a Sunday purchase
小題2:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph l mean?
A．Sunday drivers affected traffic flow
B．Sunday drivers drove too slowly
C．Sunday drivers increased traffic speed
D．Sunday drivers felt hatred for other drivers
小題3:What kind of activity was strictly prohibited on Sunday by the laws?
A．Visiting with neighbors and friends.
B．Going to the hospital to see a doctor.
C．Having a family get-together.
D．Selling goods or services.
小題4:According to the author, Sunday rest would help people______.
A．earn a lot more money
B．experience less pressure
C．keep pace with society
D．improve academic performance

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled（鋪瓦的）ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is     .
Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room      I see is hair.” Once you’ve     what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will     make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different     , or forget about it and      the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively      life, yet are essentially unhappy. while people who have suffered a great deal but     remain happy.
The first      is gratitude. All happy people are      . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to      , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is      that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvious      are those pursuit that give our lives purpose — anything     studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are     to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our     has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We       a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should     this truth: if you choose to find the  in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed.

Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term control of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical efforts. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to lose weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.
In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure（熱量消耗）charts; for example, one would have to quickly walk hard three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry(小甜餅). Even exercise professionals accept half a point here. "Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.
If you have been sedentary (極少活動的) and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.
小題1:What is said about the average American in the passage?
A．They tend to hate "light" beer and low-calorie bread.
B．They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.
C．Most of them were combining exercise with their diet.
D．They know the actors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.
小題2:"Even exercise professionals accept half a point here" means "They          ".
A．a(chǎn)gree that the calories in a small piece of pastry can be easy to work off by exercise
B．partially believe diet plays a supporting role in weight reduction
C．a(chǎn)re not fully convinced that dieting can help maintain one's new weight
D．a(chǎn)re not sufficiently informed of the positive role of exercise in losing weight
小題3:What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center's study?
A．Controlling one's calorie intake is more important than doing exercise.
B．Even occasional exercise can help reduce weight.
C．Weight reduction is impossible without exercise.
D．One could lose ten pounds in a year's time if there's no increase in food intake.
小題4:What is the author's purpose in writing this article?
A．To stress the importance of maintaining proper weight.
B．To support the statement made by York Onnen.
C．To show the most effective way to lose weight.
D．To introduce the study of the Boston University Medical Center.

Andy is the most unreasonable, pigheaded life form in the world, and he makes me so angry I could scream! Of course, I love him like a brother. I have to because he is my brother. More than that, he is my twin! That’s right. Andy and Amy(that’s me) have the same curly(卷曲的) hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn character. Yet, though we may look alike, on most issues(事情)  we usually take completely opposite positions. If I say day, you can count on Andy to say night.
Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTA’S proposal(提議) to adopt a school dress principle. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color. The dress style would be sort of loose and free.
I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I also wouldn’t mind not having to see guys wearing oversized jeans and shirts. And I certainly would welcome not seeing kids showing off designer clothes.
Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my all-American teenage birthright by dressing like — well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums. What a couple of peace-loving hippies(嬉皮士) they were!
The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted.
How would you vote—for or against?
小題1:The story is about___________.
A．a(chǎn) school policy decision that will affect parents and students
B．a(chǎn) personal experience and is told in the first person
C．a(chǎn) historical event and is told in the third person
D．a(chǎn) conflict of opinions between boys and girls
小題2:Amy’s position on school uniforms is most likely based on________.
A．logical conclusions drawn form her own observation and personal experience
B．a(chǎn)n aggressive reaction to what she has been told by people in authority
C．her preference for designer-labeled clothes
D．not liking anything her brother likes
小題3:Which of the following is the best statement of Andy’s position?
A．School clothing should reflect parents’ values.
B．Teenagers should never follow the latest fashions in dress.
C．How one dresses should be an expression of one’s individuality.
D．Wearing school uniforms means one less decision every morning.
小題4:What is the best title for the text?
A．A School Dress Principle.
B．My Stubborn Twin Brother
C．Endless Fights with My Brother
