     In a world with limited land,water and other natural resources,the harm from the traditional business
model is on the rise.Actually,the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe
becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways.That means growth with low carbon or development of
sustainable products.In other words,we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural
resources.
     Today,sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries.According to a recent study,the
global market for lowcarbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.China,for
example,has set its mind on leading that market,hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global
energy revolution.It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy,and is spending a huge
amount of money making electric cars and highspeed trains.In addition,we are also seeing great growth in
the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil,which is produced without cutting down
valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.
     Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets.First,they can set high targets for
reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides,stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.Finally,governments can avoid
the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction,and redirecting some of those expenses can
accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
     The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet.That is no small task,but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product
industries.
1. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that  ________.

D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
3. To full develop the lowcarbon markets,,government can ________.

     In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a
drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald (秃的) head, she wore a pink hat that
matched her clothes. But the third grader's cheery dressing didn't mask her pain and weary eyes.
     Then a visitor showed up. "Do you want to write a song?" asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart
equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. "Have you ever
written a poem?" Anita Kruse continued. "Well, yes," Simran said.
      Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. "Some bird soaring through the
sky," she said softly. "Imagination in its head…" Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣, 唱)
birds, and finally the girl's voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.
      That was the beginning of Anita Kruse's project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more
than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the
hospital,  Kruse said that the idea of how she could help "came in one flash".
     The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood
unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease who
rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.
     "My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses," says Anita Kruse.
"But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families."
     Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to
her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the "really sweet and nice and loving" lady
who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.

1. Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.

A. most of her hair had fallen out
B. she was receiving treatment for cancer
C. she felt depressed and quit from school
D. she was suffering from a pain in her back

2.What do we know about Anita Kruse's project?

A. It helps young patients record songs.
B. It is supported by singers and patients.
C. It aims to replace the medical treatment.
D. It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.

3.What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?

A. Most children are naturally fond of music.
B. He was brave enough to put up performance.
C. The project has positive effect on young patients.
D. Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.

4.  What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Purple Songs Can Fly                
B. Singing Can Improve Health

D. A Kind Woman-Anita Kruse

     In a survey of 1,500 European hotel managers, Americans were ranked second, behind the Japanese,
as the world's best tourists. In the survey, conducted in April by the online travel site Expedia's German
branch, Americans were seen as the most likely to try to speak a foreign language and the most interested
in tasting local food.
     Americans came in third, behind the Japanese and British, as the "most polite" tourists, and third, behind the Japanese and Germans, as "best behaved". And ---- Americans were ranked far and away as the
world's most generous tippers and biggest spenders.
     On the other hand, Americans were seen as the shabbiest(破旧的) dressers, the most likely to
complain and the second noisiest. Who is louder? Only the Italians.
     Some of the other findings: Russians were as the least polite travelers, followed by the Israelis and
French. The stingiest(吝啬的) tippers: the Germans, followed by the French and Israelis.
Italians, by far, were ranked as the best dressers, followed by the French and Spanish. In terms of bad
dressing, the British were a distant second to Americans, followed by the Germans.
     Who's the most unwilling to try speaking in a foreign language? The French, the British and the Italians,
in that order.
     The Chinese are the most reluctant to taste foreign food, followed closely by ---- this is strange ---- the British, whose home cuisine is probably the world's most seriously laughed at ( a little unfairly, perhaps).

Chinese.

     In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to
ever be content with who you are. There's always someone who's a bit better. The only solution
is to reach inside and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There
is no more accurate measure for comparison than who you were yesterday, last week or last
decade, when you were at your best.
     Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than
someone and you get lazy, or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your
hard work is for nothing. It is a fool's game. None of us are inherently above or below the person
next to us. We are who we are. Not one of us is exactly alike. The only direct and honest
comparison is within yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
     My opinion is that you are only allowed to compare yourself to someone else if their life situation
is the same as your own. Good luck finding that match. And one thing is for sure. No matter how
hard you work and how dedicated you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster,
jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there's not, you can
bet someone is coming up fast behind you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best
competitor.
     The following are the reasons why you are your own best competitor.
     1. You will always be motivated.
     Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to push you to the next level.
If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who cares if the guy next to you did 15? It
doesn't make a bit of difference. You are a more fit person today than you were yesterday. Your
own progress is all you need.
     2 . You will continuously be your personal best.
     If you commit to a slightly higher standard of yourself every day, you will always be at the top of your game. And that game will only get better. But if for some reason you fall off your mark, you will always have the past image of your best performance to show you what you're capable of. Once you've lone it, you know what's possible and then it's just a matter of doing it again.
 1. Through the passage the writer advises the readers to ____.
A. avoid comparison with others
B. work much harder
C. pay attention to others' progress
D. make full use of motivation
 2. If you want to achieve your best, according to the author, you should ____.
A. see yourself better than others
B. measure accurately
C. compare with yourself
D. be honest with yourself
3. Which of the following is certain to happen according to the author?
A. Finding someone else who is in the same life situation as you are.
B. Finding someone who runs faster and jumps higher than you.
C. Finding someone who is hiding right behind you.
D. Finding someone who almost always wins in their life.
4. What can help you up to higher level in your life according to the passage?
A. Comparing yourself with the guy next to you.
B. Thinking about your own progress.
C. Promising to play a game every day.
