A. To employ B. Being employed C. Employed D. Employing

--- Have you heard about the sinking of the South Korean Ship ?

--- Sure, it _______ the only thing on the news for the past three weeks.

A. has been B. is

C. would be D. had been

When a magazine for high school students asked its readers what life would be like in twenty years, they said: Machines would be run by solar power. Buildings would rotate（旋转）so they could follow the sun to take maximum advantage of its light and heat. Walls would “give light” and “change color with the push of a button.” Food would be replaced by pills. School would be taught by electrical impulse（电脉冲）while we sleep. Cars would have radar（雷达）. Does this sound like the year 2000? Actually, this article was written in 1958 and the question was, “what will life be like in 1978?

The future is much too important to simply guess about, the way the high school students did, so experts are regularly asked to predict accuately. By carefully studying the present, skilled businessmen, scientists, and politicians are supposedly able to figure out in advance what will happen. But can they? One expert on Cities wrote: Cities of the future would not be crowded, but would have space for farms and fields. People would travel to work in “airbuses”, large all-weather helicopters carrying up to 200 passengers. When a person left the airbus station he could drive a coin-operated car equipped with radar. The radar equipment of cars would make traffic accidents “almost unheard of”. Does that sound familiar? If the expert had been accurate it would, because he was writing in 1957. His subject was “The city of 1982”.

If the professionals sometimes sound like high school students, it’s probably because future study is still a new field. But economic forecasting, or predicting what the economy will do, has been around for a long time. It should be accuate, and generally it is. But there have been some big mistakes in the field, too. In early 1929, most forecasters saw an excellent future for the stock market. In October of that year, the stock market had its worst losses ever, ruining thousands of investors who had put their faith in financial foreseers.

One forecaster knew that predictions about the future would always be subject to significant error. In 1957, H.J. Rand of the Rad corporation was asked about the year 2000, “Only one thing is certain,” he answered. “Children born today will have reached the age of 43.”

1.How many examples does the author offer to describe the future life?

A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six

2.The high school students’ answers to “What would life be like in 1978?” sound __________.

A. accurate B. imaginative C. correct D. foolish

3.In the second paragraph, the writer gives examples to show _________.

A. predicting about the future can be done in a humorous way

B. no predictions are based on careful research

C. experts are always better than others in figuring out what the future will be like

D. forecasting the future is not an easy job even for experts in this field

4.From the third paragraph we can learn that _________.

A. economy forecasting is rather a new field

B. experts began economy forecasting in 1929

C. the predictions about economic situation caused the investors to lose lots of money

D. good, accurate forecasting helped the stock market overcome the difficulties

5.H.J.Rand’s prediction about the year 2000 shows that ________.

A. it is easy to figure out in advance what will happen

B. it is difficult to figure out in advance what will happen

C. only professionals can figure out in advance what will happen

D. very few professionals figure out in advance what will happen

A few things to do during weekends to improve your life

Weekend at last! Something you’re so looking forward to after a tiring week at work. Here are several tips on how to make the most of your weekends.

Spend time with loved ones. Reconnect with family members or friends you neglected(疏忽) lately. Don’t do it out of guilt or because you have to. Do it because you want to. Reach out to them to see how they are doing. 1. Return their calls if you were busy when they last tried to reach you. Talk to them. Listen to them. Be there for them.

2. Stay away from TV, iPad, iPhone and any other electronic devices. Unplug! Your brain needs to clear up from all the stress you’ve put on yourself during the week. Why not read a book instead? A paper one. Seriously, when was the last time you did that?

Laugh, laugh and laugh again. You can never have enough of it. Laugh is the best medicine ever. 3. For example, it helps you manage stress, strengthen your immune system and you are 40 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack.

Express appreciation. 4. Be grateful for your family, friends, health, the food you put on the table, the clothes you wear and the air that you breathe.

Dear Mr．Zhang,

We have held a discussion about whether it is good or not for a top student to share a desk with a slower student．

Our body clock，or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness．Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．

The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines，commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modem society．

But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand，has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache，says Steve Key，a biology professor．

When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it “gives us an advantage in daily life”，says Key．

According to him，when it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory，alertness and concentration gradually improve．

However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted（分心）between noon and 4 pm．

Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm，making that a good time for a nap．

Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults，problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired， according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．

When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．

Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．

1.If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can ．

A．find out the suitable time to do specific tasks

B．organize our time around work demands

C．do whatever our body feels like doing

D．be sure to be healthy

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythm

B．Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modem society．

C．Obeying our body clock is good for our health．

D．Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity．

3.According to Steve Key，which of the following is NOT true?

A．When our body clock synchronizes the rhythms of its natural processes，we can do better．

B．When it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most people perform best in the late morning．

C．As body temperature rises before awakening in the morning，our concentration gradually improves．

D．We concentrate better in the late morning than between noon and 4 pm．

4.Inspiration（灵感）to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us ．

A．when we get up in the morning

B．when we are tired in the evening

C．when we are full of energy in the late morning

D．when we are asleep at night

5.Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?

A．What is natural body rhythm?

B．Natural body rhythm is good for us．

C．Something about natural body rhythm．

D．The latest research about natural body rhythm．
