【题目】Just off La Rambla Street in Barcelona, I skimmed through The Saints (圣人) of Spain in a bookstore. It would be a good read for the home. At that moment, I couldn’t help thinking of my own personal saint, the angel who’d my trip.

It was the first time for me to travel abroad and I called it a “spiritual journey”. I hadn’t a hotel before setting out I thought I could find a cheap one when I arrived. , it turned out to be a(n) .

I knew Spanish, but the quick, sad of each hotel owner’s head was easily understood — no room at the hotel. The sun had just gone down below the horizon (地平线),I didn’t know what to do and began to . Just then, an old man came with a hat covering his white hair. He asked me if I needed any help. I supposed maybe he the worried look on my face.

After explaining why I was there, he asked me to him. At first, I whether the stranger did that out of kindness. However, considering my situation, I had no other choice but to him. I walked behind him and passed through a narrow, dark side street. Finally he rang the bell on a door. “You will stay here,” he said. “It is a place.”

He was . My room was huge —with a bed, a desk and even a bath. I wanted to him, but he’d gone away. “This man can be trusted,” I thought.

Now , at the , I felt a tap (轻拍) on my shoulder. It was him ! So he was . “I want to thank you. What’s your name ? ” I said.

“Raphael,” he said. “You’re very welcome.” With that, he went away into the crowd on La Rambla. “He was not an angel but just a kind ,” I thought.

On the planet, I turned to a page in The Saints of Spain by chance. “Raphael,” it read, “is known as the supporter of travellers. He helps guide spiritual journeys.’’ Yes, he does.

【题目】Erica Wills admits an addiction left her poor and almost ruined her life. But it wasnt drink or drugs. The 21-year-old former model was addicted to exercise. . Erica only realized she had become a gym addict when she decided to take a night off to celebrate her 21st birthday.

I wasted a whole year of my life doing nothing but exercise,” she says. . “ I thought we’d see more of each other if we worked out together.” When that relationship ended, she fell in love with the thrill of keeping her body in tip-top condition.

Every evening, I left the insurance company where I worked and dashed off to the club,” says Erica. “ But not me. All I would do is rushing off to the gym for five-hour sessions. I went through the lot each night—aerobics, a weights circuit in the gym, then a swim. I would get home after 11 pm, have something to eat and fall into bed. It was the same every weekday. On Saturdays, I might spend even longer in the gym.”

I just poured all my money into the gym. Membership and classes came to around 100 a month, plus I had to buy clothing and equipment.

I didn’t realize I had lost all my friends until my 21st birthday came round. I decided to take one evening off to go out with them. Then someone told me I hadn’t been a very good friend for a year, so why should anyone bother turning up? In fact, just one girlfriend came with me for a drink on my 21st birthday.

【题目】A lot of people are afraid of spiders(蜘蛛). One would even avoid walking in grass . And if he thought the spider was in the room or house, he would have to leave the house for days. In fact, fear of spiders is a type of disorder called specific phobia(恐惧症), one of the most common anxiety disorders, which annoys about 7% of the population, a study says. Common specific phobias also include fear of blood, needles, snakes, flying and enclosed spaces.

The Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine tried the “exposure Therapy(暴露疗法)”, which was small, done on 12 adults, but all of them held or petted the spider afterward. One participant celebrated by getting a spider tattoo(纹身) after having been unable to even look at photos of spiders.

This is the first study to document the immediate and long-term brain changes after treatment and to illustrate how the brain recognizes long-term to reduce fear as a result of the therapy. Every one would come in thinking: I am going to be the one who can’t do this . There is no way ,”Haunter ,author of the study ,says “They were impressed by the end.”

In therapy lasting two or three hours, which is different for each person, the participants were taught that troublesome thoughts about spiders were untrue. They thought the spiders might be capable of jumping out of the cage and on to them, Hauner says.

Exposure therapy gets its name from exposing a patient to what he fears, says Todd, research assistant professor: “/span>A lot of it about dispelling peoples beliefs. You can get significant changes in a short period of time.

【题目】Some people view a bad situation as a disaster. Its not. Its an opportunity. Once your old world collapses(倒塌), you can recover and rebuild. Now you have the chance to start fresh and do things more intelligently. I built my business on an unstable structure. I kept it going for years, but the business collapsed last year. I had to leave my office, selling off all the furniture and equipment. I got kicked out of my apartment because I couldnt pay the rent. I couldnt pay my bills or debt. I declared bankruptcy.(破产)

For years there was the worry that this might happen if I didnt keep straining(尽力) to keep the business going. And my worries were right. What I worried about would happen did happen .But you know what? Going through that experience wasnt really so bad. It was interesting. Some of it was actually pretty easy. Throughout most of it, I felt increasing relief and a renewed sense of freedom and possibility. All the old baggage was gone. No more office. Fewer possessions. Fewer obligations. No more debt. Most of all , no more straining. Life became a lot easier.

I got a cheaper and smaller apartment. I became debt-free. I learned to live within my means. Those were actually good things. The others were just feelings. The reality wasnt actually painful. After that, I kept going with the same business but completely changed the business model. I avoided the earlier mistakes, and that business recovered just fine and worked great. It was profitable every year from then on. But I had to go through the collapse first to reach that point.

If youve been feeling out of control with your current work or lifestyle, and youre currently straining to keep it going ,consider letting it go. Try allowing the old world to collapse, many or all of your fears and worries might actually come to pass, but thats ok. You dont have to keep the old world alive. If it keeps falling apart on you ,let it collapse. Experiencing the collapse isnt as bad as fearing the collapse

【题目】Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商)with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to identify: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.

If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying. Chinese retail(零售)buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall.com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.

What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—big-box retailers especially —in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.

I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

【1Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in ___________.

A. its big size

B. its business-to-business service

C. its not charging small sellers

D. its low price

【2What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage?

A. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites

B. Alibaba will continue to develop.

C. Alibaba stands out as the best online site.

D. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.

【3】改编We can infer from the passage____

A. The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.

B. Taobao has no apparent advantage compared with other similar online sites.

C. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns much more money than retail now.

D. TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.

【4改编The passage mainly talks about_____

A.Alibaba has a great influence on people’s daily purchase in China.

B. The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.

C. Shopping online is TaoBao..

D. How the author purchases online in China.
