4.Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think.They may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and take photos wherever you are,but they also turn you into a workaholic(工作狂).
A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the smartphone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails,or making work calls.
Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails.Some workers say they are on call almost 24 hours a day.Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up,while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am,with more than a third checking their first email in this period,and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika,marketing director of Pixmania,said:"The ability to access millions of applications has made smartphones invaluable for many people.However,there are disadvantages.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day,seven days a week,and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work.The more constantly in touch we become,the more is expected of us in work."

5.High in the sky,a group of birds fly past.The 5-foot-tall creatures are whooping cranes,the tallest birds in North America noted for its loud call.The wild animals appear to be following much larger birds.But those aren't birds at all.They are three-wheeled aircraft called trikes,and the pilots flying them are wearing white helmets and white gowns.That plan might sound like a stupid idea,but it's not.The pilots are from an organization called Operation Migration.They are helping the whooping cranes learn to migrate,or move from one area to another when the seasons change.The cranes are endangered.In 1941,the species had dwindled(减少)to roughly 20 birds because of hunting and habitat loss.US wildlife officials counted 149 whooping cranes in November 1995,the most since the American government began taking censuses(统计)in the 1930s.Today,about 380 remain.
In the fall,whooping cranes are supposed to migrate south.However,many of them don't know how."With so few birds left,young whooping cranes typically don't have parents around to teach them,"explains pilot Joe Duff.
That's where the trikes come in.Each October,pilots dress up as whooping cranes and take to the skies in Wisconsin.The young birds follow them because they think the trikes are big whooping cranes.
It takes about three months to reach south-with plenty of rest stops on the way.The pilots lead the cranes to refuges,or protected areas,in Florida.
This spring,the birds will migrate north by themselves-no trikes needed!"It's nice because you know the birds are going to make it,"Duff told WR News.

2.Once upon a time,there was a wonderful old man who loved everything on the land--animals and plants.
One day while walking through the woods,the old man found a cocoon of a butterfly.He took it home.A few days later,a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.Then the man decided to help the butterfly,so he took a pair of scissors and cut the remaining bit of the cocoon.The butterfly then came out easily.
But it had a swollen body and small,shriveled wings.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that,at any moment,the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body,or they would be smaller.Neither happened!In fact,the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled (枯萎)wings.It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If we were allowed to go through our life without any difficulties,it would cripple (无能) us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been.And we could never fly.

21.The old man cut the cocoon in order toC.
A.kill the butterfly
B.play with the butterfly
C.make the butterfly come out easily
D.have the butterfly
22.The reason why the butterfly could not fly is thatD.
A.the old man broke its wings
B.it was too small
C.newly born butterflies can't fly
D.it came out of its cocoon without enough struggle
23.What can we know from the passage?B
A.That old man was fond of everything except the butterfly.
B.It was the old man that stopped the butterfly flying.
C.The old man realized his mistake.
D.It's not hard for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon.
24.What does the author want to tell us by writing the passage?C
A.We should help others.
B.Without others help we can still succeed.
C.Struggles in our life can make us stronger.
D.Butterflies can fly without people's help.
3.Faces,like fingerprints,are unique.Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people?Even a skilled writer probably couldn't describe all the features that make one face different from another.Yet a very young child-or even an animal,such as a pigeon can learn to recognize faces.We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave.When we talk about someone's personality,we mean the ways in which he or she acts,speaks,thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face,human personality is very complex.But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face.If you were asked to describe what a"nice face"looked like,you probably would have a difficult time doing so.But if you were asked to describe a"nice person",you might begin to think about someone who was kind,moderate,friendly,warm and so on.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks,feels and acts.Gordon Allport,an American psychologist,found nearly 18,000English words characterizing differences in people's behavior.And many of us use this information as a basis for describing,or typing,his personality.Bookworms,conservatives,military types-people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to"type"each other.Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain's or the hero's role.In fact,the words"person"and"personality"come from the Latin persona,meaning"mask".Today,most television and movie actors do not wear masks.But we can easily tell the"good guys"from the"bad guys"because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
54.By using the example of fingerprints,the author tells us thatD.
A.people can learn to recognize faces
B.people have different personalities
C.people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints
D.people differ from each other in facial features
55.According to this passage,some animals have the gift ofD.
A.telling people apart by how they behave
B.typing each other
C.telling good people from bad people
D.recognizing human faces
56.Who most probably knows best how to describe people's personality?B
A.The ancient Greek audience.
B.The movie actors.
C.Psychologists.
D.The modern TV audience.
57.According to the passage,it is possible for us to tell one type of    person from another becauseD.
A.human faces have complex features
B.human fingerprints provide unique information
C.people's behavior can be easily described in words
D.people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics.
