4.The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs.(36)E   It is expected that by 2025about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs.Doesn't the data look promising for the future?
(37)D   And jobs will pop up at every income level,from environmental manager to gardener.For example,many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind.(38)F   The increasing demand of newer resources has created the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs.In addition,in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment,both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed.Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers.
(39)C   Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter.Nowadays,different kinds of jobs are being posted online.Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management.Check regularly and find the right work for yourself.(40)A

11.San Diego Summer
The summer after my second year in high school,I finally had the opportunity to live with my super-cool sister in San Diego for three weeks.It was going to be great!I would lie on the beach in the sun.Perhaps I would surf a little or ride my bike around Coronado Island.
Meanwhile,I would spend every morning,Monday through Friday,teaching YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) kids how to play tennis…for FREE.Since college wasn't too far off,and since I had practically zero hours of community service,my volunteering at the YMCA was smart.I like tennis and I even kind of like little kids.Anyway,life was going to be amazing for those three weeks.
On my first day at the YMCA,I was shocked by the smallness of the children.The kids could barely grasp a racket(球拍),let alone swing one.This is when it occurred to me how potentially terrible the situation was-a group of thirty small children with rackets in hand and only four coaches.The odds were definitely against us.Luckily,the kids did not have blood on their minds,and they were relatively obedient and cooperative.
It soon became painfully obvious that I was the only"coach"actually coaching.Rather ironic when one considered that I was the only one of the four NOT being paid.I must admit,however,that despite all of my efforts these children were not getting much.I had to keep telling myself that while I couldn't enjoy the fruits of my labor at the moment,I would be reveling in the benefits once college application time came.Thus,I soldiered on.
As I returned home the day before the opening of school,I had complete peace of mind.Although I did not spend every day at the beach as I had initially hoped to do,I did accomplish several things and I felt as if I were a better person because of my three weeks in San Diego.

56.Before going to San Diego the author was full ofA.
A.expectation     B.confidence       C.doubt       D.curiosity

1.A study published in September suggests there is a surprising way to get people to avoid unhealthy foods:change their memories.Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the University of California at Irvine asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities and food experiences."One week later,"Loftus says,"we told those people we'd fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences."Some accounts included one key additional detail:"You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream."The researchers then changed this detail into a manufactured (人为促生的) memory through leading questions"Who were you with?How did you feel?"By the end of the study,up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made them sick,and many said they'd avoid eating it.
When Loftus published her findings,she started getting calls from people begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries.Unfortunately,it's not that easy.False memories appear to work only for foods you don't eat on a regular basis.But most important,it is likely that false memories can be implanted (灌输) only in people who are unaware of the mental control.And lying to a patient is immoral,even if a doctor believes it's for the patient's benefit.
Loftus says there's nothing to stop parents from trying it with their overweight children,"I say,wake up.Parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years,and nobody seems to mind.If they can prevent diseases caused by fatness and all the other problems that come with that,you might think that's a more moral lie.Decide that for yourself."

76.Why did Loftus ask the volunteers to answer some questions?C
A.To improve her computer program.
B.To find out their attitudes towards food.
C.To find out details she can make use of.
D.To predict what food they'll like in the future.
77.What did Loftus find out from her research?B
A.People believe what the computer tells them.
B.People can be led to believe in something false.
C.People tend to forget their childhood experiences.
D.People are not always aware of their personalities.
78.According to the study,people may stop having a certain food if theyD.
A.learn it is harmful for health
B.lie to themselves that they don't want it
C.are willing to let doctors control their minds
D.think they once had a bad experience of eating it
79.What is the biggest concern with the method?A
A.Whether it is moral.  B.Who it is best for.
C.When it is effective. D.How it should be used.
8.A study now lends support to the idea that meal-time distractions (分散注意) can mask the clues that we really have eaten quite enough.Moreover,it finds,the caloric fallout of not paying attention to what we're eating doesn't necessarily end when a meal is over.
Rose Cooper from England,and her colleagues gathered 22men and an equal number of women for an experiment.Each person dined alone,continuously receiving nine small shares of food items.These ranged from cheese twists and potato chips to carrots,cherry tomatoes and sandwiches or sausage rolls.
Because the goal was to test the potential impacts of distraction on fullness,the researchers randomly assigned half of the participants to eat in front of a computer-and to gain as many wins as possible at the"card"game.Everyone else was told to focus on the sensory qualities of their meal.
According to their instructions,the participants ate all of the food given to them.Yet people who played a computer game during lunch found their meal less filling than the mindful eaters had.Game players also swallow down twice as many cookies,almost an hour later,when they were allowed all the dessert they wanted (in the name of a taste test).The British scientists present their findings in the February American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The real question is why distracted eating should impact snacking.It appears,the scientists say,that memory plays some tricky role in how we register what we eat and the degree to which it satisfies.
Interestingly,eight years ago,Britta Barkeling of Huddinge University in Stockholm and her colleagues reported somewhat related findings.Their 18overweight subjects had no choice other than to get rid of everything but lunch,on one day-because they were blindfolded.Compared to a day when they could view what they were dining on,these people consumed only three quarters as many calories.Yet even hours afterward,they reported being no less full than on the day they had been able to see their plates.
Of course dining in the dark isn't practical.And sometimes what we eat doesn't really invite our absolute attention.But there is certainly a growing mountain of data indicating that mindless eating is a waste of resources,a risk to our waistlines-and a costly threat to health.

63.Rose Cooper and her colleagues did the experiment in order toC.
A.show that all the people enjoy snacks
B.prove that playing computer games is harmful while dining

65.The reason why distracted eating influences snacking may be thatB.
A.you eat less in that case           B.you are cheated by your memory
C.you have consumed more calories     D.you digest what you've eaten faster

A.distracted eating may damage your health
B.eating snacks will make you feel full
C.Britta became famous because of the experiment
