13.Life is just like a box.Inside it are happiness and sorrow,failure and success,hope and despair (绝望).Life is a learning process.Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.
Love
Love plays a key role in our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could become cruel and violent.In the early stage of our life,our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care.(36)C.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic(贪图享乐的) happiness is short-lived,but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment ( 实现,满足).(37)F.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one,failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
 (38)G.It helps us to touch the sky,teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience. (39)B,because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same.We have only one choice-keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday,for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown,for it could either be bright or dull. (40)E,so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

A.So let's enjoy every day
B.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour
C.They tell us what is right or wrong,good or bad.
D.Success lies in trusting yourself
E.So what we can choose is to work hard today
F.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness
G.Failure is the path to success.
20.Your next car might drive itself.After years of trials on city streets,driverless vehicles are now on the way.Last month,a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon,France.Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or earlier.
Driverless cars will first be huddled with human-driven cars.But the first places where they will become dominant(统治的)are highly populated urban areas.Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars.Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.
Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent.That's big-the annual deaths on the world's roads are about 1.2 million a year.Pollution and carbon emissions will drop,because urban driverless cars will be electric.
On the other hand,driverless cars will cause problems.Over the next 20 years,the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks,taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced.Traditional carmakers are especially scared.The cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple,Baidu and Google.Imagine Germany,where automobile making is the largest industry.
Dramatic changes are coming,and driverless cars could arrive by 2020.But governments have barely begun thinking about it.Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning.A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming.Now what about the driverless cars?

24.The underlined phrase"be huddled with"in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning with"C".
A.turn up                  
B.make up for

B.they will be powered by electricity
C.they will be energy-saving by driving themselves          
D.they will avoid many accidents from human errors
26.What's the author's attitude toward driverless cars?D

D.Objective.
27.What can we conclude from the passage?A

10.For the rest of March,a disease will sweep across the US.It will keep kids home from school.(36)D.Employees will suddenly lose their ability to focus on their work.
The disease,known as"March Madness",refers to the yearly US men's college basketball tournament (锦标赛).(37)F.Teams compete(竞赛)against each other in the tournament and only one team will be the final winner.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves mad for the tournament.The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game.Friends compete against friends.(38)A.Colleagues against bosses.
Famous schools are usually expected to win,but each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.
This adds to the madness.Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000,for many Americans,is an exciting experience.Two years ago,the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams.(39)G
College basketball players are not paid,so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves.(40)CAbout﹩4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event.According to Media Life magazine,the event will bring in﹩500 million in advertising(广告)income this year,topping the post-season income of every US professional league,including that of the NBA.

17."Oh,my God!Did I really just send that text?"Most people have said something that they wish they could take back.And if they had paused to think about it first,they probably would have acted differently.Pausing doesn't pay off just when you speak.Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out.
In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain.One area creates and processes emotions; the other governs logical hought.The type of decision,how we feel about it,and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence.
But our age also plays an important role.Thinking through the consequences of one's actions is actualy harder for teens because the area controlling logical (逻辑的)thought is not fully developed until around age 25.This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively(冲动地)---it's how their brains are structured!Though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations,impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas.This openness helps teens to become independent adults.
The key to making impulsivity work for you instead of against you is to train your brain by practicing pausing.This doesn't mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences.But you won't know if the risk is worth it until you think it through.Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control,not impulsivity.
What are different ways to pause?You might take a deep breath,count to 10,or ask"Is this worth it?"different strategies work for different people.Whatever works for you,keep doing it!By practicing pausing,you can actually change your brain.This means that over time,pausing,instead of immediately reacting,becomes your"natural"response.
And with this change,people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-control---even if they weren't natural-born pausers!

28.What challenges teenagers?B
A.Giving natural response.
B.Making logical decision.
C.Acting before thorough thinking.
D.Choosing brain-training strategies.
29.An impulsive person tends toA.
A.consider or accept new ideas
B.change ideas frequently
C.think through a risk in advance
D.show high level of self-control
30.Accordig to the passage,by training one's brain,one canD.
A.stop taking risks
B.fully develop one's brain
C.become more open to new experience
D.reduce the influence of emotional drive
31.What is the best title for the passage?A
A.Push the Pause Button
B.Impulsivity Works
C.Discover the Brain Function
D.Crying Over the Spilt Milk.
