7.So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument,a misunderstanding,the way we were raised,or some other painful events.Stubbornly,we wait for someone else to reach out to us-believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine,recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years.She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first.When I suggested that she be the one to reach out,she said,"I can't do that.He's the one who should apologize."After a little gentle encouragement,however,she did decide to be the first one to reach out.To her amazement,her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own.As is usually the case,when someone takes the chance and reaches out,everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger,we turn"small stuff"(问题)"into  really"big stuff"in our minds.We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness.They are not.If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that beiIng right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy.The way to be happy is to let go,and reach out.Let other people be right.This doesn't mean that you're wrong.Everything will be fine.You'll experience the peace of letting go,as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You'11also notice that,as you reach out and let others be"right",they will become less defensive and more loving toward you.They might even reach back.But,if for some reason they don't,that's okay too.You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world,and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.

C.We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily life.

17.One of the Queen's closest relatives and oldest friends was allowed to give a deep description into the family life of the Royals.Although there have been hundreds of other books declaring to offer a quick look behind the Palace doors,this is the first written by someone who is closely related to the Royal Family and has shared their lives-not only throughout the Queen's reign (统治) but also through that of her father,King George VI.
The Final Curtsey was written by her Majesty's cousin and childhood playmate the Honorable Margaret Rhodes.It tells in details the story of Mrs.Rhodes's relationship with the Royal family over eight decades.The book,with delightfully informal and never-before-seen pictures,has been written with the full knowledge of the Queen,who has read and approved parts of it.

In this charming autobiography (自传),she told how she was offered a house to live in the Royal farm in Windsor Great Park unexpectedly.One day when she and the Queen were out riding outside,she suddenly returned and said,"Could you bear to live in the suburb?""I think it should be OK."Therefore Mrs.Rhodes is now still living there.

18.I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.
This year,a very sweet old lady that I cared for,Alice,had gone through a difficult time.She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice.In November I was finally able to get her back to her"home".
Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas Day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days.When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen,she was very sad.Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy.I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
On Christmas Eve,I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.
Instead of taking her to my church,I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were.We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in.Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.
The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.

15.A new survey finds that more than eighty percent of Internet users in the United States search for health information online.The survey found that searching online is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion though doctors are still the main source of health information.
Forty-four percent of people are actually looking for doctors or other providers when they search for health information online.Another finding of the survey:Two-thirds of Internet users look online for information about a specific disease or medical condition.
The Internet has also become an important source of emotional support for people with health problems.Susannah Fox says one in five Internet users has gone online to find other people who have the same condition.It was more popular among people with more serious health issues-one in four people living with chronic diseases (慢性病).And it was basically off the charts with people living with rare disease.They are so eager to find other people online who share their health concerns.
A disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than two hundred thousand people worldwide.The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with rare diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone.Social networking is also changing the way some doctors and patients communicate with each other.Dr.Jeff Livingston operates a medical center for women inIrving,Texas.His office uses password-protected software to share information with patients.
"We provide the patient full access to their medical care.Anything I can see,the patient can see.All of their notes,all of their doctor visits are right there.All of their lab work is right there."Dr.Livingston says the software has increased efficiency,reduced costs and improved relations with patients.

28.From the first paragraph,we can knowB.

B.more people now turn to the Internet for medical advice

2.For 40years,people in London have been happy to see parakeets (马尾鹦鹉) in their parks.The shocking green body and long tail have brought a bright color to the parks,which have attracted a lot of people.
However,the parakeets are no longer welcome.They will push out local birds from trees to build their own nests,and will also take most of the food in the parks,such as seeds,fruit and nuts.
Sometimes by accident,plants and animals are carried to new places.They are transported by trains,ships or even planes.Often,animals like fishes get transported in the water containers of ships.When these ships reach new places and pump out the water from their tanks,these animals will start a new life in a new place.
Sometimes people take plants and animals from one part of the world to the other to solve a problem.But it will create a bigger problem.Years ago,the farmers of northern Australia brought the toads (蟾蜍) from South America to their farms.They thought they would kill the beetles that harm the sugarcane crops.But the toad has done much more.It is now killing Australia's native animals,such as snakes,water birds and so on.
32.People get interested in parakeets mainly because ofA.
A.their appearance   
B.their singing
C.their behavior     
D.their living environment
33.How do the parakeets affect the local birds?C
A.They sometimes kill the local birds.
B.They destroy trees which the local birds live in.
C.They take the local birds'nests and food.
D.They have attracted much of people's attention.
34.What is the third paragraph mainly talking about?A
A.How animals and plants come to new lands.
B.How a new animal affects the local animals.
C.Why some plants are introduced to a new place.
D.The role of ships in transporting animals and plants.
35.What can we learn about the toads?D
A.They didn't kill the beetles at all.
B.They were brought to Australia by accident.
C.They have ruined the sugarcane crops.
D.They have created a larger problem in Australia.
12.Facebook is getting less and less cool,at least among teens.A recent report by Frank N.Magid Associates Inc.found that the percentage of 13-to 17-year-old social-media users in the United States on Facebook dropped to 88percent this year,from 94percent in 2013and 95percent in 2012.In the same period,Twitter and messaging applications rose in popularity in that age group.For example,Twitter usage climbed two percentage points to 48percent.
The Menlo Park,California-based company first warned a year ago that teens weren't using its website as often as before.But the issue was all but forgotten,and now it alarms investors.
While more people use Facebook and its messaging app than any competitor,its user base tends to be older,with 55percent of Facebook Messenger users being 37or younger.By the same measure,86percent of Snapchat's users and 83percent of Kik Interactive's users are under 37.
    One reason for the decline in teen Facebook usage is due to the concerns that the service may not be trustworthy.Just 9percent of those surveyed described the website as"safe",while almost 30percent of people said they would use this word to describe Pinterest.Pinterest also ranked higher in"fun",with 40percent saying so compared with 18percent for Facebook.
Facebook has been working to diversify the company's offering beyond the main Facebook application.It brought Instagram,the photo-sharing application,in 2012for less than﹩1billion.This year,Facebook also bought messaging application WhatsApp Inc.for about﹩18billion.
The buying of Instagram is showing gains."Not only is Instagram's audience now larger than Twitter,but its user growth has been greater."Mark May,an analyst at Citigroup,wrote in a note."Instagram is at the early stages of rolling out advertising,but we believe brands have and will find it a successful channel."

32.Which of the following is a reason for the decrease in teen Facebook usage?B
A.Facebook's user base is too young to stick to one thing for long.
B.Most of Facebook's users don't think its service is safe enough.
C.Facebook's competitors are actively improving their services.

A、accumulate
B.classify
C.expand

34.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph?D
A.Facebook's huge running costs
B.Facebook's improved operating principle
C.Facebook's struggle against its competitors
D.Facebook's efforts to turn around the situation
35.Which statement does Mark May agree?A
A.Buying Instagram is a wise choice.
B.Twitter may face possible risks in the future.
C.Advertising new brands costs too much money.
D.Facebook makes its situation worse.
16.According to many recent surveys,there are fewer and fewer students reading newspapers from middle school to college,which worries both parents and teachers a lot.In my opinion,several reasons result in this phenomenon.
The most significant reason is that the rise of many other information Media,for example,internet,mobile phone.TV and so on.In the past we only could read newspapers to know what happened around us,while now we only need to turn on the TV,or open our computers,which is more convenient.In addition,computer and other media provide us with more newly news and more specific details,which we can get easily and without payment.There is also an advantage that the new media have while newspapers don't----a large mount*of pictures,which make the information or news more lively.Therefore,more and more students tend to surf the internet or watch TV instead of reading newspapers.
Another reason that few students read newspapers is that they have little time to do such things.We all know that nowadays students,especially middle school and high school students are buried in the books almost every day to get good grades.Even in weekends,they are sent to heterogeneous cram school by their parents to become superior in school.Thus there is little free time for them to do other things,not to mention reading newspapers.
The students'indifference to the current affairs also enables few newspaper readers.The 90s,most of today's students,always pay more attention to fashion and only care for themselves.Lacking a sense of collectivism and nationalism,the majority of the 90s have little interest in current affairs,which are the basic content of most newspapers,so that there are fewer and fewer students reading newspapers.
Different outside and inside reasons have contributed to the few newspaper readers among students.Therefore,teachers should encourage their students to form'the habit of reading newspapers regularly and free the students from their heavy study burden so that they can afford to broaden their horizon through newspapers,which is beneficial for their future development.

43.According to Paragraph 2,few students read newspapers becauseC
A reading newspapers isn't my good for them to get good grades
B.they are more interested in fashion than current affairs
C.it's cheaper and easier to get information from the Internet or TV
D.they can only know what is happening via the Internet or on TV
44.It can be inferred from the passage thatB.
A.it's better for students to gain information via the Internet than other media
B.high school students are too busy with their study now
C.more and more students are addicted to the Internet now
D.more students will fall in love with newspapers
45.What does the author mostly want to tell us in the passage?B
A.There are many advantages of reading newspapers.
B.There are reasons why few students read newspapers.
C.The advantages 0f surfing the Internet are obvious.
D.It's very important to read newspapers.
17.After studying the daily habits of 177self-made millionaires over the course of five years,Thomas C.Corley found that they avoid one costly habit:procrastination(拖延症).
"It prevents even the most talented individuals from realizing success in life,"he writes in his upcoming book,"Change Your Habits,Change Your Life."
This goes hand-in-hand with author Napoleon Hill's claim that the wealthiest people are also the most decisive people.
Out of the 500millionaires Hill studied in the early 20th century,"Every one of them had the habit of reaching decisions quickly,"Hill wrote in his 1937classic,"Think and Grow Rich."
One of the major causes of procrastination is lack of passion,Corley emphasizes:"We simply like to do the things we like to do and we put off the things we do not like to do."
"According to Gallup,only 13% of employees are‘engaged'in their jobs,or emotionally invested in their work,"Corley writes.
"Whether you realize it or not,procrastination is a big reason why you are struggling financially in life.It damages your credibility with employers and fellow colleagues at work.It also affects the quality of your work and this affects the business you or your employer receive from customers,clients,and business relationships."
The good news is that anyone can overcome procrastination-and it's simpler than you may think.He also notes that"the voice of procrastination screams just as loud and clear in the minds of those who excel in life as it does in the minds of those who do not."
How do they silence it?They rely on"to-do"lists to get things done.They create firm deadlines,and they meet with"accountability partners"to ensure they're sticking to their goals and deadlines,Corley says.
Nearly everyone is susceptible to procrastination-but fighting against it can make all the difference.

A.are intelligent people
B.don't hesitate when making decisions
C.are only passionate about making money

A.Procrastination usually results from financial difficulties.
B.Procrastination makes people less trustworthy.
C.Overcoming procrastination is simpler for wealthy people.
D.Accomplishing things ahead of schedule is a key to getting rid of procrastination.

A.struggle
