     I work in a busy Emergency Room( E. R. ) .  This weekend, I had a patient who was very nervousand paranoid.
After looking at his chart, I saw that he was seeking treatment for alcoholism. There is an immediate prejudice against substance abuse in my E. R.

Travel Unaccompanied
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30­year­old.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”， which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
小題1:Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C．It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D．Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
小題2:Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
A．it will finally build your character
B．you have to make things on your own
C．you depend on yourself whatever happens
D．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
小題3:What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A．He started traveling at an early age.
B．He was once shot in the arm.
C．His website inspires others a lot.
D．He used to work as a salesman.

San Francisco's Chinatown is the biggest and oldest in the country. It's the third most visited tourist destination in the city. It's also the city's most densely populated neighbor- hood. So why are. businesses in Chinatown struggling?
In this week's paper, I outline some of the reasons for why Chinatown's crowded streets and busy shops might be declining. Underneath the surface, Chinatown is falling. And the city, local organizations and businesses are trying to figure out what they can do to turn things around.

Can you remember the last. time you went to Chinatown ?If you can't, You're not alone. Locals told me that Chinatown doesn't have much to offer them - that the stores are all the same. There are some good eating joints, people said, but they don't know how to find them. Some people even told me that they sometimes go to extreme measures to avoid the neighborhood altogether. But when asked if the-v would like to see Chinatown gone, the answer was always a strong no.
Locals are hopeful that things will get better and traffic will increase when the Central Subway is complete. But chat's not for another five years. at least. And if' new shops or restaurants don't make their way into Chinatown. the same problem of attracting locals will exist.
Not that Chinatown's going to die. The dragon still has some fire in its belly. And many people are rooting for positive change. The question is, how does Chinatown change without losing the very importance of what makes it unique?

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow-blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not , they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light”. The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren (少植被的) snow-covered terrain (地形). So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature eases this irritation by producing more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs (模糊), then is obscured (遮蔽), and the result is total, even though temporary, snow-blindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of 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 too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop scouring the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.
小題1:To prevent headaches, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark
glasses are _________.
A．indispensable and essentialB．usefulC．ineffectiveD．a(chǎn)vailable
小題2:When the eyes are sore tears are produced to _________.
A．balance the pain B．treat snow-blindness
C．clear the visionD．loosen the muscles
小題3:Snow-blindness may be avoided by _________.
A．concentrating on the solid white terrain
B．searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain
C．providing the eyes with something to focus on
D．covering the eyeballs with more fluid
小題4:The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to _________.
A．prevent the men behind losing their way
B．beautify the landscape of the terrain
C．warm themselves in the severe cold
D．give the men behind something to see
小題5:A suitable title for this passage would be _________.
A．nature's cure for snow-blindness
B．snow-blindness and how to overcome it
C．soldiers marching in the snow
D．snow vision and its effect on eyesight

Puppy Food
A puppy (young dog) is a precious addition to any family. The excitement of bringing home a little furry friend will always live in our memories. Like all of us, though, your puppy must have adequate nutrition（營養(yǎng)） right from the start to make certain that it’ll have a long and healthy life.
 小題1:  You might ask yourself what is the best for your new pet with all of the different varieties on the market in all of their attractive packaging. Some dry food produced specially for puppies is the best for the development of their teeth.   小題2: 
Contrary to the belief of many first-time puppy owners, it is not always the best idea to purchase food that is too high in calcium (鈣), protein, and vitamin levels.   小題3:  In addition, a high intake of calcium is associated with bone disease in large-breed dogs. If you have a “small-breed” puppy, you can buy that kind of food.
It is not a good idea to feed the food you eat to your puppy frequently, as your puppy may become selective about food.   小題4:  Some people think that dog biscuits and other treats are fine, but they should not be a main part of puppy’s diet.
Young puppies should be fed three times a day. Each puppy is unique, however, so feeding them twice a day is acceptable. After ten to twelve weeks of age, feed your puppy twice per day. Allow your puppy to eat as much as he would like in fifteen minutes.   小題5:  If you let your puppy eat too much or too often by keeping food accessible at all times, he may become overweight and have health problems as an adult. Like humans, your puppy will not enjoy the food any longer if it is there at all times.
A．Pick up the dish with the remaining food.
B．Proper food is a basic necessity for your puppies.
C．Remember to give your puppy the food he would like to have.
D．It can also cause an upset stomach due to an unbalanced diet.
E. A further benefit is that it is less expensive than the canned food.
F. One example is that extra helpings of nutrients do harm to digestive organs.
G. It’s good to provide the extra nutrients a puppy needs until he grows larger.

If you want to see climate change, head north and keep going until you run out of globe. That is easier said than done. The Arctic (北極) is home to few people and covered in ice much of the year. But those who make their way to the icy seas of the Arctic Ocean will see a part of the planet that is warming and changing faster than anywhere else.
In September, scientists announced at the National Snow and Ice Data (數(shù)據(jù)) Center that Arctic summer sea ice had fallen to its second lowest level since 1979, and probably long before that. The Arctic has lost an area of ice greater than the area of all U.S. states east of the Mississippi River. And what ice remains appears to be getting thinner and weaker.
Nick Toberg and Till Wagner are polar ice scientists who are doing sea ice fieldwork. “There is plenty of data to suggest that the ice is becoming thinner as well as smaller in area,” they say.
The changes happening in the Arctic are a warning for the entire world .  As polar expert Walt
Meier puts it, “What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.”
Some scientists worry that Arctic sea ice may be going from a downward spiral (螺旋線) to a “death spiral”, one from which there is no escape. As more ice melts (融化), more dark open water appears. The darkness absorbs (吸收) more heat, which speeds up the pace of melting.
Until recently, many scientists thought it might take until the end of the century for the North Pole to become completely ice free during the summer. Now some believe it could happen by 2030 or even earlier. “The melting is happening faster in the real world than it has in the models,” says Nick Toberg.
小題1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers __________.
A．it’s difficult to arrive at the Arctic
B．it is too cold for people to live in the Arctic
C．what caused the climate change in the Arctic
D．we can see the most obvious climate change in the Arctic
小題2:From the second paragraph we can learn Arctic summer sea ice __________.
A．is still decreasing
B．began reducing in 1979
C．fell to its lowest level in September
D．is equal to the Mississippi River
小題3:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．The changes don’t affect the Arctic at all.
B．The changes will only happen in the Arctic.
C．The changes happening in the Arctic will stop.
D．The changes will also affect other parts of the world.
小題4:Nick Toberg may agree that __________.
A．the ice in the North Pole will stop melting
B．the ice in the North Pole is melting faster than expected
C．the ice in the North Pole will melt before 2030 or even earlier
D．the ice in the North Pole will not disappear until the end of the century
