When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with string. “ 【小题1】  the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, millions of real balls go flat (变瘪)   【小题2】  24 hours,” says Tim Jahnigen, a California businessman. Determined to solve this problem,   【小题3】   created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.
The ball is made of   【小题4】  special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam. It’s lightweight, it’s flexible, and— 【小题5】  important—it holds its shape.
The One World Futbol needs no pump   【小题6】 won’t wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested, 【小题7】   withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.
Although it costs more to produce   【小题8】  a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it’s been given to kids in 143 countries. (154 words)

The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?

Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.

The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.

In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students' self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."

Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.

The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.

1.What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?

A.It is a highly profitable industry.

B.It is based on the concept of positive thinking.

C.It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.

D.It has yielded positive results.

2.What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?

A.Encouraging positive thinking many do more harm than good.

B.There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.

C.Unhappy people cannot think positively.

D.The power of positive thinking is limited.

3.What does the author mean by "… you're just underlining his faults" (Line 4, Para. 3)?

A.You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.

B.You are pointing out the errors he has committed.

C.You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.

D.You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.

4. What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?

A. It is important for people to continually boost their self-esteem.

B. Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one's mood.

C. Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.

D. People with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelings.

Baby survives after train hits pram

The CCTV footage (片段)shows a baby’s pram (婴儿车)rolling off a train platform as the mother makes a mad rush to save her son,   48   she is too late and it falls   49   the rails in front of an incoming train. This heart-stopping scene happened yesterday at Ashburton station in Melbourne, Australia. But the story has a   50   ending: the six-month-old baby survived with just   51   cut on his forehead, although the pram was dragged about 35 meters by the braking train. The nurse Jon Wright said the boy just “needed a feed and a sleep”.

         “Luckily, he was strapped (绑) into his pram at the time, which probably saved   52  life. I think the child is extremely   53  ,” Wright told the Herald Sun newspaper after the baby was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The footage shows the mother taking her hands off the three-wheeled pram, which begins to roll   54  the platform edge. 

         The driver put on the brakes   55   he saw the pram fall in front of him and fortunately the train was already slowing down to stop at the station. Rail firm Connex is to look into how the pram rolled off the platform. The accident came one day after Connex started a child safety awareness campaign warning parents to keep babies strapped into their prams at all times while on platforms.
