It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.” The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.

A. most commentators agree with Dr.Johnson
B. Dr.Johnson is famous for his weather observation

2.What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?

A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
C. the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D. there is nothing special about the English weather

Some researchers, parents and teachers have suggested that high-school classes begin later in the morning to accommodate (適應(yīng)) teens’ needs for more sleep. 1. However, in the meantime you’ll have to make your own adjustments. Here are some suggestions that may help you to sleep better.
Set a regular bedtime. Going to bed at the same time each night signals to your body that it’s time to sleep. 2. So try to stick as closely as you can to your sleep schedule, even on weekends.
Exercise regularly. 3. Finish exercising at least 3 hours before bedtime. Many sleep experts believe that exercising in late afternoon may actually help a person sleep.
Avoid stimulants (刺激物). Don’t drink beverages with caffeine, such as soda and coffee, after 4 pm. 4. And drinking alcohol in the evening can make a person restless and interrupt sleep.
Relax your mind. Avoid violent, scary or action movies or television shows right before bed. Reading books with active plots may also keep you from falling or staying asleep.
Create the right sleeping environment. 5. So close your curtains (and make sure they’re heavy enough to block out light) and turn down the thermostat (恒溫器). Noise can prevent people from sleeping well. Use a white-noise machine if you need to block out a noisy environment.

People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.
Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules . That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things: your city, your photo, your friends’ names ,were set by default (默認(rèn))to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “l(fā)ess satisfying experience”.
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning, which is why I’m considering canceling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.
1. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A. It provides loads of information to its users.
B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.
C. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.
D. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.
2. What does the author say about most Facebook users?
A. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.
B. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.
C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.
D. They care very little about their personal information.
3.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
A. To obey the Federal guidelines.
B. To expand its business.
C. To improve its users’ connection
D. To provide better service to its users
4. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?
A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.
B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.
D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

With the press of a button, a person with severe spinal cord (脊柱)injuiy is able to walk again, thanks to the Walking Assistive Exoskeleton Robot (WAER).
Powered suits that could help paralyzed (癱瘓)people walk and others lift and carry heavy loads with ease have been a dream since late 19th century. But they can realize their dreams in the 21st century.
The 20-kilogram robot has four battery-powered motors that can run for up to three hours. Inventor Wu Chenghua, from Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute, says it has successfully been in tests on 12 patients. “We have learned from our research process that patients whose injuries are below the fourth chest joint (關(guān)節(jié))are able to use our robot to stand, walk and sit down,” he said.
Since walking contributes to muscle exercise, Wu says patients receive some additional benefits. “In the clinical process, we would check their bone mineral density (密度),and we found that the bone mineral densities of these patients had been improved.” he said. Wu says his exoskeleton may be available for consumers by 2018.
Meanwhile, baggage handlers at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport will soon start testing a similar robot, developed by the Japanese firm Cyberdyne. The battery-powered robot weighs only 3
lift a heavy object, the machine monitors the movemen”,says Yoshiyuki Sankai, the developer and CEO of Cyberdyne.
“This robot suit monitors the signal from the human nerve (神經(jīng))system to support the waist’s movement,” Sankai said, “It self-adjusts the level support to reduce the load on the human waist, light and smart. We believe that it will change the life of paralyzed people in many ways and have a promising future.”

A. recover from spinal cord injury
B. improve their bone mineral density
C.walk as fast as normal people
D. monitor their waist’s movement

Eccentrics are people who have an unusual or odd personality, set of beliefs, or behavior pattern. They may or may not comprehend the standards for normal behavior in their culture. They simply don’t care about the society’s disapproval of their habits or beliefs.
Once considered socially unacceptable, eccentric people have been found to possess some positive characteristics. 1. They often have more curiosity about the world and, in many cases, are contentedly obsessed by hobbies and interests. 2. They live in a world of their own and do not worry about what others think of them. So they are usually less restricted and therefore more carefree in forming new ideas.
3. Statistics show they visit their doctors less—about once in eight to nine years, which is 20 times less than the average person. This could be partly due to their innate traits such as humor and happiness. 4. This may explain why eccentrics are, on the whole, healthier.
Psychologists therefore suggest that we pay attention to those who do not conform. It could be our aunt who has been raising pet lizards. 5. Their crazy hobby or strange sense of humor is what keeps them going. Eccentric people may seem odd, but they will likely live a happier and healthier life because they enjoy what they are doing. In fact, many of history’s most brilliant minds have displayed some unusual behaviors and habits.
A.Eccentrics are also found to be healthier.
B.According to a recent study in England, eccentrics are more creative.
C.Or it could be our best friend’s brother who wears shorts to a formal dance.
D.People may have eccentric taste in clothes, or have eccentric hobbies.
E.Psychologists also find that eccentric people do not follow conventions.
F.Such personal traits are found to play an important role in boosting the body’s immune system.
G.Psychologist Dr David Weeks mentions people with a mental illness “suffer” from their behavior while eccentrics are quite happy.

The vast majority of fitness trackers count your steps and are worn around the wrist, but now there’s a device that’s designed to be worn like a necklace and monitors tiny movements to improve your posture.
The Fineck device aims to address neck pain by tracking tiny movement, spotting bad habits and suggesting exercises via an accompanying app. Made from silicone(硅)and titanium(鈦), Fineck monitors a wearer’s movement, balance, posture and movement thanks to sensors inside. The Mountain View California-based firm says that a high percentage of people suffer from neck pain and associated problems, probably caused by more individuals doing office jobs, which generally involve leaning over computer keyboard.
The device contains sensors, several different types of instruments to monitor movement, plus a monitor to shake. It connects to an IOS app via Bluetooth so that wearers can see their bad habits and play “neck training” games. The app warns of health risks and records a user’s activity to build up a customer personal health description. The necklace shakes to give smart advice, such as reminding wearers to sit up straight. The app also allows users to set goals, like many other wearables do. “Fineck is the first wearable device for your neck that tracks your neck activity and warn you when you are in a bad posture for too long. You can also exercise your neck with Fineck’s interactive games.” The company writes on Kickstarter. “No matter where you are and what you are doing at office, on the go, or simply just feeling bored, Fineck will bring you enriched exercise experience through motion sensing games and therapies.”
It also claims that it is “the world’s first titanium wearable device”. The metal is widely used in fashion stuff that you can wear or carry to match your clothes because it is lightweight, durable and does not tend to cause allergic(過敏的)reactions. It also offers additional features such as shaking to indicate alerts on a user’s smartphone, but it is not currently clear whether it can also be used like bands, to count steps, and so on.
The Fineck has a battery life of around seven days and takes one hour to charge. It is available to pre-order via Kickstarter from $69(£44)and is due to ship in March next year.
1.What helps the Fineck device to deal with neck pain?
A. An accompanying app. B. A necklace
C. Computer keyboard. D. A remote control
2.Besides allowing people to set goals, the iOS app also_____.
A. improves your posture and suggests exercises
B. exercise your neck and does office jobs
C. alerts you to health risk and records your activity
D. counts your steps and addresses neck pain
3.Which of the following statements is true?
A. The Fineck takes an hour to charge and is available at any time.
B. Movie stars like to wear necklace made of silicone to match their clothes.
C. The device count the steps to help wearers to see their bad habits.
D. Neck-ache is something caused by using computers too much.
4. We can infer from the passage that the Fineck device will_____.
A. actually not cause allergic reactions.
B. enrich your life by providing “neck training” games
C. monitor a wearer’s movement due to the material it is made of
D. help to correct your improper postures
