15．Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences，（36）B．That is a risk．But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake．
Unfortunately，we've all been victims of betrayal．Whether we've been suffer from，lied to，misled，or cheated on，there are different levels of losing trust．Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore，（37）E．It's understandable，but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again，we have some steps you can take to get you there．
l（38）Ahaving confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being．
l（39）CIf you've been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance．But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a"victim mentality"．At some point in all of our lives，we'll have our trust tested or violated．
l  You didn't lose"everything"．Once trust is lost，what is left？Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle，look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life．（40）Ginstead，it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness．

A．Learn to really trust yourself．
B．It is putting confidence in someone．
C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim．
D．Remember that you can expect the best in return．
E．They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again．
F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships．
G．Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened．

5．People who enjoy a dream-filled sleep are better at recalling information and making links between facts when waking．But recharging with a shallow （小睡） offers no such mental improvement，the research suggests．The results of the study added to the growing body of evidence that Rapid Eye Movement （REM） sleep is very important to the brain's ability to form strong memories．
An average night's rest includes four or five spells of REM sleep，but these bursts tend to be lengthier towards the end of the night．This means adults getting less than the recommended seven to eight hours a night--and therefore inadequate REM sleep--may be damaging their mind's ability to memorize：Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep，it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages．
In the recent study，participants were shown groups of three words and asked to find another word that can be associated with all three words．They were tested once in the morning and then given the same task again in the afternoon．In between，some were allowed a nap with REM sleep，some a nap without REM sleep，while the others had a quiet rest period．The quiet rest and non-REM sleep groups didn't improve，but the REM sleep group improved on their morning performance by an average of almost 40 per cent．Dr Sara Mednick，a sleep researcher at the University of California who led the study，believes the formation of connections between previously unassociated information in the brain occurs during REM sleep．
It is believed that sleep acts as a sort of mental filing system，enabling the brain to sort relevant information from useless information．This process may take place as memories are removed hem one art of the brain to others．

6．A．The Definition of Creativity
B．The Value of Creative Thinking
C．The Disadvantage of School Education
D．The Importance of Giving Children Choices
E．Creativity not Being Something Born With
F．Effective Ways to Develop Students'Creativity

The Case for Creativity-Encouraging Children to Think
Creativity is the key to a brighter future，say education and business experts．Here is how schools and parents can encourage this vital skill in children．
（81）B
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925，we might not have a product that we now think of as practically essential：masking tape．Drew worked for the company，known as 3M．At work he developed a sticky-side substance strong enough to hold things together．But his boss told him not to pursue the idea．Finally，using his own time，Drew perfected the tape，which now is used everywhere by many people．And his former company learned from its mistake：Now 3M encourages people to spend 15percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas．Experts say if we teach our children to think creatively，they will be better able to function in tomorrow's society．
（82）E
Creativity is not a natural ability，nor is it necessarily a characteristic of high intelligence．Just because a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively．Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce original ideas that are good for something．
（83）C
Unfortunately，schools have not tended to promote creativity．With strong emphasis on test scores and the development of reading，writing and mathematical skills，many educators sacrifice creativity for correct answers．The result is that children can give back information but can't recognize ways to apply it to new situations．They may know their multiplication tables，for example，but they are unable to apply them to story problems．
（84）F
In some schools，however，educators are recognizing the problem and are trying their best to encourage creativity in their students．Some teachers are combining the basics with activities where the students must use their imagination．For example，instead of simply asking WHEN Columbus discovered the New World，teachers might ask students to think about what would have happened if his trip had taken him to New York first instead of to the Caribbean area．With that question，students would have to use what they know about Columbus，what they know about New York，and what they know about the Caribbean．Teachers feel that even if the answers seem silly，it's OK，that sometimes being silly is an essential step toward creativity．
（85）D
From the earliest age，children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their consequences．Even if it's choosing between two food items for lunch，decision-making helps thinking skills．As children grow older，parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money but not automatically help them too much if they make the wrong decision．This may be confusing for the child，but that is all right．This is because one of the most important traits of creative people is a very strong motivation to make order out of confusion．
3．Some animals can be trained to help humans．For example，specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely．Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too．（36）C The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings，carry shopping bags and do housework．
In the wild，animals and humans are not usually friends．（37）F In Africa，the honey-guide bird works with humans to find food．The bird likes to eat the grubs （幼虫）-a type of insect that lives inside a beehive （蜂巢，蜂窝）．It knows how to find beehives but it can't open them and get the grubs．People like to eat honey，but they aren't very good at finding beehives．（38）B The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it．When the people open the beehive and take the honey，they give the grubs to the bird．
In Laguna in the south of Brazil，fishermen and dolphins work as a team．The ocean isn't very clean，so the fishermen can't see the fish．（39）G When the dolphins find a large group of fish，they make a noise to tell the fishermen．Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach．The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets．The fishermen's nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too．In Laguna，fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years．（40）E Meanwhile，the dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!
A．They attack each other for food or something else．
B．So the bird and the people help each other．
C．They can learn how to help people who can't use their arms or legs．
D．In fact，they usually help to get enough food for their babies．
E．The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins．
F．However，there are a few interesting examples where they can work together．
G．However，dolphins can find them easily by using sounds．
10．In the 60s，people asked about your astrological（about star）sign．In the 90s，they want to know your website．（71）G Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family，friends and potentially，millions of people around the world．Best of all，you may not have to spend a cent．The web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity．
（72）F Like the table of contents of a book or magazine，the home page is the front door．Your site can have one or more pages，depending oil how you design it．
While web pages vary greatly in their design and content，most use a traditional magazine lay-out（版面设计）．At the top of the page is a banner（横幅）．Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site．Pictures，text，and links to other websites follow．
（73）E Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say．Next，gather up the material that you want to put on the site．
While there are no roles you have to follow，there are a few things to keep in mind：（74）A If you are too much at the beginning，you may never get the site off the ground．You can always add to your site．
Less is better．Most people don't like to read a lot of long text online．（75）B
Smaller is better．Since it can take a long time to download large image files，keep the file sizes small．
Have the fights．Don't put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally．Always remember to get the permission from the writer first．
Now it's time to roll up your sleeves and start building．
A．Start simply．
B．Break it into small pieces．
C．Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper．
D．Many websites are considered very interesting．
E．Before you start building your site，do some planning．
F．Think of your home page as the starting point of your website．
G．These days，having a web address is almost as important as a street address．
20．In our daily life，we have developed a lot of habits，such as，eating habit，study habit，reading habit，etc．However，taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can't be forgotten．（36）B．
Watching TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch-TV news isn't a better pre-sleep choice than TV series．（37）C．The bright light keeps you awake all the night．So even if you nod off （in front of the TV，for example），you probably won't stay asleep for long．
Sleeping with pets
（38）F．They get comfortable，and then they move．This goes on all night，and whether you admit it or not，it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested．
（39）A
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever-turning over and over again，never really feeling rested？Well，heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect-it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal，which may take several hours．
Accepting snoring （打呼噜） as normal sleep behavior
Snoring may seem as common as breathing，but it's considered the biggest sleep killer，and it's linked to several causes：sleeping on your back，being overweight，having a cold，drinking，or taking drugs．（40）E．For the snorer，it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally．For the partner，the noise can be unbearable．

A．Exercising heavily too close to bedtime
B．Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of
C．Rather it's the TV's bright light that is the criminal
D．Here are some suggestions you'll need to follow．
E．Most seriously，it's caused by a dangerous illness
F．Pets sleep most of the day，and they move a lot when sleeping
G．Reducing your body temperature before bedtime．
7．For several years，Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone．（36）AIn a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys，and many other things．
（37）Cfor example．The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made﹩100 million．In France there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend about﹩20 million a year to buy things through these channels．
In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1hour every day．Then the government allowed more teleshopping．Other channels can open for tele-business，including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company．（38）D
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes．With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason，but at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping．（39）BMany Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV．Good quality is important to them，and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV．
（40）EThey will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell．They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person．

A．Now teleshopping is starting in Europe．
B．They call teleshopping"Junk on the air"．
C．Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden．
D．German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things．
E．The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies．
F．Teleshopping is popular among people．
G．German teleshopping business is controlled by American．
4．One answer to the questions of land shortage was suggested by a committee some years ago．A city was to be built at sea，housing 30000people．
（36）DThe outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea-bed．Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow．The people would live in flats in the fifty-meter high outer wall．The flats would all face inwards．（37）CThe glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun．The planners called this water the lake．
（8）EOn it would be floating islands carrying more buildings：a hospital，two theaters，a museum，an art exhibition hall and a church．On one of the islands would be a special plant．（39）F
People living in the city could move around on small boats dnven by electricity．（40）G There would be platforms outside the main wall for ships bringing supplies．People could also travel to the mainknd by molorboat or water plane．

A．Fresh water is supplied to the city．
B．TTie city was away from the mainland．
C．And they would be made of concrete and glass．
D．The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor．
E．The water inside this man-made haAor would be calm．
F．It will take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water．
G．Thus there would be no air pollution from the burning of petrol．
5．Every day my husband parked his car in the same open-air car park in Zimbabwe．On this particular day，he had been running to his car with a pile of office papers under his arm．As he opened the car door，he suddenly lost control of his body．He felt a stabbing pain in his arm，and became totally breathless and lost consciousness．As he fell down，half in，half out of the car，his last thought was"what a way to die"．
A young woman getting into her own car in the deserted car park noticed what was going on and at once ran to my husband's aid，trying to bring his life back．Realizing time was important，she tried to move my husband to her car，calling the guard at the gate．
Fearing an ambulance would take too long to arrive，she felt it better to get to the hospital as quickly as she could．She raced through traffic lights sounding her car's horn and rushed into the hospital，calling out，"I have an unknown man here who I think is having a heart attack．
Having realized he was in capable hands，the woman returned to the car park，found his keys on the ground，collected his papers and piled them in the car．Having seen my husband come out of a certain building each day，the security guard thought he knew where he worked．The young woman managed to locate his colleagues and they in turn contacted my niece，who waited for me to return home so she could break the news to me．
After careful tests it turned out that my husband's disease had nothing to do with heart．We were naturally eager to find the kind stranger who had come to his aid．After some weeks we discovered where the young woman worked．She was overjoyed when my husband walked into her office with a huge bouquet of flowers．She said she required no thanks，and preferred to remain anonymous （匿名的）．
We now live in a different country，but each Christmas my husband remembers her act of kindness and sends a gift．We regard every day of his life as a bonus，all thanks to this kind stranger．
