  One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against you.In recent years, research in psychopharmacology (精神药理学).has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive (积级的) attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything.Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone (荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune (免疫的) system.This leads to illness and depression.Positive thoughts will make you feel better.Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it, so to speak), it will become contagious (会传播的) and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.

  For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you don't feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it.Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings.Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings.Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives.There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.

  It's often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold.You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy.This vital key to success is totally within your control.Use it.

1.We can infer from the passage that________.

[  ]

A.positive thinking can cure you of your diseases

B.positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone

C.a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressed

D.a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking

[  ]

A.take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism

B.be king in your office

Don’t Take the Fun Out of Youth Sports

  The world is not only hungry, it is also thirsty for water. This may seemstrange to you, since nearly 75%of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%--the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

  However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly almost everyday. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small example of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91000 litres of water?

  We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on small scale. The systems that have been worked out are similar to those used in spacecraft.

(1) “The world...is also thirsty for water.” this means that ________.

[  ]

A.the world has not enough fresh water to meet our future needs

B.people all over the world are thirsty for water now

C.we are now facing a serious problem of world-wide water shortage

D.we cannot make use of all the fresh water on earth

(2) According to the passage, only about ________ of the earth's surface is covered with fresh water that can be used.

[  ]

A.75%
B.3%
C.97%
D.2.3%

(3) We may face a severe worldwide water shortage in the future because ________.

[  ]

A.the small amount of fresh water is constantly being replaced by rainfall

B.some of it has been polluted

C.some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers

D.our need for fresh water is increasing rapidly

(4) According to the passage, one of the first problems is ________.

[  ]

A.to deal with water problem now

B.to have lectures on the water subject

C.to develop ways of reusing water

D.to work out systems that resemble those used in spacecraft

(5) This passage is mainly about ________.

[  ]

A.water and the earth
B.fresh water on earth
C.water shortage problem
D.experiments on how to reuse fresh water
