10．Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that anger can lead to heart disease，stomach problems，headaches，emotional problems and possibly cancer．
（71）F Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way．Others burst with anger，scream and yell．But other people keep their anger inside．They can not or will not express it．This is called repressing anger．
For years many doctors think that repressing anger is more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it．They say that when a person is angry，the brain releases the same hormones （荷尔蒙）．They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etc．（72）A
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease，and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．
（73）G They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is，they say，"（74）E Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．"
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry．（75）B

A．In general，the people feel excited and ready to act．
B．They say that laughter is much healthier than anger．
C．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it．
D．Anger may cause you a cancer．
E．Do not express your anger while you are angry．
F．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time．
G．Doctors say the solution is to learn to deal with anger．
11．---Are you going to invite Jack to our party？

8．Every year，millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands．Maybe there's spyware on the their computer，or a service they use suffered a security reach，leaving customers at the risk of exposure．Or perhaps their password is easy to guess．
Don't fear：You can easily set up proper defenses．Here's how．
●Clean Your Computer and Smartphone
Before you put new security measures into place，make sure your devices are as spotless as possible．This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy-or malware that may have already infected your system．These days，it's also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses．Iphones are less likely to be targeted by spyware，but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be．
●Secure Your WiFi．
It's fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they're able to share your connection-that's why you want to be careful when using public WiFi．Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago，it's a good idea to refresh your settings．
●Use passwords
What you've heard is true：Passwords should use a variety of special characters，numerals，letters，and cases when possible．
●Check the shopping security
Take care when shopping online．Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping．If the lock icon encryption （加密）  is not there，do not give out credit details．Also，check that the site is legal-never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online．
Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping．This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for"in real life"can still be used uninfluenced．
Don't store information on any store's website．It may be convenient but it's also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked．

21．To put new security measures into place，we need toC．
A．clear out everything in the system
B．make a random selection of network
C．get rid of potential spyware
D．refresh the infected system
22．According to the passage，the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be caused byB．
A．the applications of antivirus programs
B．the practice of using public WiFi
C．the difficult access to passwords
D．the separate credit card for online shopping
23．Which of the following is an improper way to shop online？D
A．Adopting a unique password for every website．
B．Shopping online at reliable websites．
C．Keeping credit details safe by checking security symbols．
D．Monitoring credit card by storing information online．

2．I had a terrible accident and was transferred via a helicopter to the Pittsburgh Hospital．I was conscious of my accident and friends，and family passing out at the sight of me．It was no picnic!
Late one evening，I could hear the nurses in the next room repeatedly talking to a new patient．"Sandy，your mom is here．Open your eyes．"This had gone on throughout the night．"Sandy，your dad has some flowers for you．Open your eyes and look at them．"I asked the nurse as she checked in on me what had happened to Sandy．The nurse said that Sandy was about 17and had been involved in a car wreck．She was in a deep coma （昏迷），not in good shape．Over the next few nights，I started talking to Sandy．Although，it was said silently，I started to urge her to open her eyes or say something．Her parents visited with me one evening，and they seemed to be from an important family but in much grief，much like the faces of those that had visited me．And there I was speechless，immobile and had no real way of easing （减轻）their pain．It became very important to me to pray for her recovery，not my own．In some strange way，I believed that if Sandy would just open her eyes，my own situation would get better．
Sandy never came out of the coma as far as I know．During my stay in hospital，there were many times I felt like I was in an emotional coma．But I still could hear"just open your eyes．"Even now I think of her quite often．I remember the long nights in the hospital，the smell of the hospital environment and the helplessness we all felt．Even though Sandy's situation was bad，I am thankful for understanding what it means to let go of your own problems and concentrate on others．

A．to help her recognize her parents
B．to find whether she is still alive
C．to introduce her to the author

6．Conservationists have unveiled plans to preserve and protect the world's most important species of coral，in a response to increasing threats that they say will lead to"functional extinction"within decades．
Led by scientists at the Zoological Society of London，the Edge Coral Reefs project has identified 10coral species in most urgent risk of becoming extinct．The scientists say that reefs are under pressure from a variety of threats including rising sea temperatures due to climatic instability，increased acidity（酸性），over fishing and pollution．
The Edge plan，which focuses on the most evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered species，will take a regional approach to conservation．This means focusing on the"coral triangle"around the Philippines，the West Indian Ocean around the Mozambique channel，and in the Caribbean channel．
"Coral reefs are threatened with functional extinction in the next 20-50years，due predominantly to global climatic instability，"said Catherine Head，coordinator of the reefs project．"In these regions，we'll be supporting and training in-country conservationists to carry out research and implement targeted conservation actions，"she said．"Their projects will last initially for two years．We provide them with a whole host of tools to carry out their projects including funding and intensive training．"She added．
Coral reefs are the planet's most diverse marine ecosystem（生态系统），known as the rainforests of the oceans．Despite taking up under 0.2% of the ocean floor，they provide food and shelter for almost a third of all sea life．If we lose the ecosystems，we lose not only the biodiversity （生物多样性），but we also lose the capability of people to obtain income and food from coral reefs．
Climatic instability，which leads to rising sea temperatures，causes corals to bleach．Bleaching occurs when sea temperatures rise and this causes the coral tissue to expel their symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae-these are what give the coral their colour．Bleached corals often die if the stress continues．Among the 10species chosen to start the Edge project are the pearl bubble coral，a food source for the hawksbill（玳瑁）turtle，and the Mushroom coral，which supports at least 15brightly colored fish．

41．What does the first paragraph mean in the passage？C
A．Conservationists planned to preserve and protect some extinct corals years ago．
B．Conservationists have banned plans to protect endangered corals for years．
C．Conservationists are going to protect corals that are dying out in several ten years．
D．Conservationists have made plans to protect corals from being extinct in ten years．
42．What will probably happen to coral species with the increasing threats？C
A．Decrease．   B．Losing functions． C．Disappearance． D．Existence．
43．Which of the following statements about the Edge Plan is TRUE？D
A．The Edge Coral Reefs project was carried out by American scientists．
B．The plan concentrates on the channels to protect the endangered species．
C．The Conservationists have carried out the Edge plan for many years to protect the corals．
D．Ten coral species chosen by the project are at the greatest risk of becoming extinct．
44．Which of the following will be the consequence of coral extinction in the passage？B
A．We will keep me balance of the marine ecosystems．

C．Man can benefit more from corals．

14．Are you a compulsive spender，or do you hold on to your money as long as possible？Are you a bargain hunter？Would you rather use charge accounts than pay in cash？Your answers to these questions will reflect your personality．According to psychologists，our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values，but can also stem from past problems．
Experts in psychology believe that for many people，money is an important symbol of strength and influence．Husbands who complain about their wives'spending habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage．Wives，on the other hand，may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry at their husbands．In addition，many people consider money a symbol of love．They spend it on their family and friends to express love，or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love．
People can be addicted to different things-for example，alcohol，drugs，certain foods，or even television．They are compulsive in their addictions，i．e．they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable．In the same way，according to psychologists，compulsive spenders must spend money．
For people who buy on credit，furthermore，charge accounts are even more exciting than money：in other words，they feel that with credit，they can do anything．Their pleasures in spending enormous amounts are actually greater than those they get from the things they buy．
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting．To save money，of course，most people look for sales，low prices，and discounts．Compulsive bargain hunters，however，often buy things that they don't need just because they are cheap．They want to believe that they are helping their budgets，but they are really playing an exciting game：when they can buy something for less than other people，they feel that they are winning．Most people，experts claim，have two reasons for their behavior：a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason．
It is not only scientists，of course，who understand the psychology of spending habits，but also business people．Stores，companies，and advertisers use psychology to increase business：they consider people's needs for love，power，or influence，their basic values，their beliefs and opinions，etc．in their advertising and sales methods．
Psychologists often use a method called"behavior therapy（疗法）"to help individuals solve their personality problems．In the same way，they can help people who feel that they have problems with money：they give them"assignments"If a person buys something in every store that he enters，for instance，a therapist might teach him self discipline in this way：on the first day of his therapy，he must go into a store，stay five minutes，and then leave．On the second day，he should stay for ten minutes and try something on．On the third day，he stays for fifteen minutes，asks the salesclerk a question，but does not buy anything．Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn't buy anything，and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying．

    A．you pay in cash                      B．you pay less than you should

    A．different things                    B．their addictions
