Your living room
Feng shui is all about balance. Try to arrange sofas and chairs in a square around a circular table. Avoid an L-shaped arrangement as this leaves a missing corner. The centre of the living room should be left clear. Make sure there is a lot of light, which will promote good energy.
Put plants in the corners of the room, as they attract good energy and will energize your health, but not ones with sharp leaves such as yuccas or cactus. Fresh flowers also bring good energy, but throw them away as soon as they begin to die, and don’t have dried flowers.
Mirrors are vital because they reflect energy. Round or oval ones are best, but they should not be opposite each other, nor should they reflect a door, otherwise your good fortune will go out of it.
To promote harmony between the members of your family, have photos of them around the room, preferably smiling. If you want to find a partner, energize the south-west corner of your living room or bedroom by placing a floor light at least 1.75m high there, and turn it on every evening. Surround yourself with decorations and objects in pairs, such as ducks or birds.
To avoid blocking the positive energy in the room, keep everything tidy. Don’t accumulate too many unnecessary things. Take a look at every object, and ask yourself, “Do I really need it? Do I really like it?” If the answer is no, get rid of it.
Your bedroom
You should have the head of your bed placed against a wall, as this gives you a sense of security. Avoid having a bed under a window, as you are exposed to danger and bad energy from outside. If this is impossible, use blinds or heavy curtains to cover the window. Never sleep in a place where you can’t see the door—you should always be able to see someone who’s coming in.
Avoid hanging pictures or lights above your bed, as this leads to a subconscious feeling of threat. Don’t put mirrors opposite the bed either, as they “break up” the image, and therefore the relationship reflected in them.
Keep lighting low and soft, and decorate preferably with dark colors. Do not hang paintings of fierce animals, abstract subjects, or water in the bedroom. Water is very good elsewhere, but in the bedroom it suggests financial loss. Make sure you never put plants in the bedroom, and don’t have a TV facing the bed, or at least cover it when it is not in use.
Your study
Don’t use the same room for your bedroom and your study, as the different energies will be in conflict. If you have to do this, try to separate the areas either symbolically with plants, or with a screen. Put away piles of files or unfinished work—don’t leave them on your desk. Being tidy promotes positive energy. Wherever you study make sure your desk is in the north-east corner, especially if you are preparing for exams, as this area symbolizes education.
A bookcase is bad feng shui, as its sharp corners generate negative “arrows”, and if you have one you ought to put a climbing plant on it to avoid this effect. Cupboards are better than open shelves.
【小题1】 As for lights, which of the following statements is false?

A．A partner may come with a tall burning floor light in the south-west corner of your room.
B．Good energy can be promoted if there is a lot of light in the living room.
C．Bright lighting in the bedroom can light your mood.
D．It is not a good idea to hang lights above your bed.
【小题2】A bed should be put according to the following rules EXCEPT         .

I credit my typing skill to so many hours of chatting online. Unfortunately, as my typing speed increased on the Internet, all grammatical rules went out of the window. You see instant messages have their own shorthand language and grammar isn’t important, of which even a newbie (新手) is aware. They can leave out articles, subjects (主语), pronouns, etc. They can misspell or “respell” almost any word. They often ask “A/S/L” when they first chat. Abbreviations (缩写) and capitalizations (大写) are particularly important. English-speaking instant messengers also refuse to burden themselves with punctuation and capitalization.

After I came back China, I discovered not one but two instant messaging crazes. The first, which brought back memories of my previous addiction to the computer, was QQ. I can see evidence that the Chinese have the same kind of separate instant messaging language, even when they chat in English. My first word in this language, for example, was “ft”. This abbreviation for “faint” is used whenever there is a need to express surprise. I also discovered that Chinese use the same kind of abbreviation for a laugh. And there is an extraordinary number of smileys (表情符) to the “vomit” and “army soldier” smileys. There is even a SARA smiley.

After QQ, there is another, perhaps more widespread messaging trend. You guessed it --- cell phone text messaging. I now understand how useful text messaging is and why it is so common. I admit that I have been guilty of sending text messages while walking outside or sitting on the subway. Who hasn’t ? No matter where I go, I see people on their cell phones, messaging. In fact, it’s rare to see someone actually talking on their phone!

So it looks as if there is no escape from the instant messaging crazes, no matter where in the world I go. And that’s plainly not going to change. In the end, though, I can’t complain: instant messaging is quick, it’s cheap, it’s easy and it’s extremely fun too. And after all, everyone’s doing it.

1.The underlined phrase “went out of the window” in Paragraph 1 probably means        .

A．increased

B．occurred

C．disappeared

D．changed

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Grammar and correct spelling are very important while chatting online.

B．There are enough smileys and icons to express yourselves while chatting on line.

C．The writer is skilled at typing and once was addicted to online games.

D．It is impolite to leave out some unimportant words or letters while chatting online.

3.The writer believes that instant messaging is          .

A．full of fun but time-consuming

B．widespread but unnecessary

C．quick but difficult to do

D．common, used and cheap

4.Which might be the main idea of the passage?

A．Who can escape QQ and cell phone text messaging?

B．Why is instant messaging so popular?

C．Chatting online is good for your typing skill.

D．Chatting on QQ is natural for people.

 

Winter in the north is usually very cold and it is important to avoid colder-related injuries such as frostbite(冻伤) and hypothermia(体温降低)．Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long．It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose，and ears and some will bring permanent damage．Hypothermia is a serious medical condition caused by serious cold．It happens when the body cannot produce as much heat as it loses．If not treated，it can be deadly．

The best way to avoid cold-related injuries is to be prepared for the outdoors．Here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm．Think of COLD．

The C stands for cover．Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck，and ears．And wear mittens instead of gloves．Mittens are a type of glove that does not have separate parts for each finger．Gloves may not keep hands as warm because they separate the fingers．

The O stands for overexertion(过分用力)．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty．Wet clothes and cold weather are a bad mix．

L is for layers．Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another, is better than single heavy layer clothing．Also，make sure outerwear is made of water resistant and tightly knit material．

The last letter D stands for dry．In other words，stay as dry as possible．Pay attention to the places where snow can enter, like the tops of boots．the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens．

And there are a couple of other things to keep in mind，one for children and the other for adults．Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body's temperature．And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm，but what it really does is weaken the body's ability to hold heat．

67．Both frostbite and hypothermia        ．

A．are injuries caused by extreme cold

B．may happen on the hands，feet，nose and ears

C．may cause uncontrollable shaking and slow breathing

D．may be deadly injuries

68．Mittens can keep your hands warmer than gloves because           ．

A．they are thicker                     B．they are made of better materials

C．they don't separate your fingers        D．they separate your fingers

69．      can help you avoid cold-related injuries．

A．Trying your best to exercise until you get sweat

B．Wearing layers of loose，lightweight clothes

C．Drinking alcohol to make you feel warm

D．Wearing a single heavy layer of clothing

70．Overexertion should be avoided because         ．

A．it may exhaust you       B．it may make you hungry

C．it may make you sweat     D．it may lower your body temperature
