I got up early this morning, so I went to school without breakfast. I walked in so a hurry that I stepped on a banana peel dropped by an old man walk in front of me. As the result, I slipped and fell in my back. I am so angry that I wanted to blame the old man, so I controlled myself at last. I picked out the banana peel, putting it into the dustbin and ran to school. The class had begun, but I was very happy because I did that what I should do to protect our environment.

Windows 8, apart from Windows 95, is the biggest surprise and the only version of Microsoft¡¯s operating system that has been changed from the core£¨ºËÐÄ£©when compared to its former one. However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.

Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.

Speed¡ªThis is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.

New passwords¡ªInstead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!

Windows 8 experience¡ªApart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC¡¯s and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.

However, there are still some disadvantages.

The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface£¨½çÃ棩introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.

1.What does ¡°plus sides¡± in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?

A. Math symbols. B. New rules.

C. Strengths. D. Messages.

2.According to the text the greatest advantage of Windows 8 is its ______.

A. high speed B. complex passwords

C. unique experience D. new interface

3.From the text we can learn that Windows 8 ______.

A. no longer requires a password

B. can be used on more than computers

C. will be popular with desktop users

D. was upgraded from windows 95

4.Many Windows 8 users face the problem that ______.

A. Start Menu is hidden in the lower left corner

B. they don¡¯t get accustomed to the new interface

C. keyboard and mouse can¡¯t be used any longer

D. they have to use fingerprints instead of button

One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can¡¯t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.

I believe a common(ÆÕ±éµÄ) problem with Chinese students¡¯ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After along period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?

My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.

1.The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______.

A. different B. not like each other

C. the same D. like each other

2.The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) means that______.

A. teachers never gave the students the way of learning English

B. some teachers didn¡¯t teach students to think in English

C. students didn¡¯t remember the way teachers taught them

D. teachers didn¡¯t want their students to think in English

3.The underlined word ¡°they¡± (in Paragraph 2) refers to ¡°_____¡±.

A. English students B. Chinese teachers

C. Chinese students D. English teachers

4.According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?

A. You must think in English all the time.

B. After speaking English for a long time, you may probably think in English naturally(×ÔÈ»µØ).

C. You should always translate English into Chinese.

D. The best way of learning English is to live in America.

The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (ÅÅ·Å)by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own¡ªthough extremely important¡ªis not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.

The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (ЧÂÊ)£¬which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.

¡°Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything£¬¡±explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher£¬¡°consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.¡± In other words£¬old habits die hard, even in the best designed eco home.

Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy use habits. Without specific information£¬it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (·´À¡) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors£¬could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.

Social science research has added a further dimension (·½Ãæ)£¬suggesting that individuals' behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted¡ªwhether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (ºãÎÂÆ÷) , for example.

Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.

1.As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of ________.

A. zero carbon homes

B. the behaviour of building users

C. sustainable building design

D. the reduction of carbon emissions

2.The underlined word ¡°which¡± in Paragraph 2 refers to¡°________¡±£®

A. the ways B. their homes

C. developments D. existing efforts

3.What are Katy Janda's words mainly about?

A. The importance of changing building users' habits.

B. The necessity of making a careful building design.

C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.

D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.

4.The information gap in energy use________.

A. can be bridged by feedback facilities

B. affects the study on energy monitors

C. brings about problems for smart meters

D. will be caused by building users' old habits

LEEDS, England--- A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Bristons forgive their enemies.

¡°The hatred we hold within us is a cancer,¡± Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

More than seventy people have become members in Hart¡¯s first 20-week workshop in London--- a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.

These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.

The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.

The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. ¡°People have lots of the attitudes towards forgiveness,¡± he said. ¡°People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.¡±

Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.

¡°The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you¡¯re angry with,¡± said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project. Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people ¡°want to get free of the past.¡±

A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hatred

A. pay a large amount of money

B. go to the course every night in twenty weeks

C. attend a gathering twice a month
