11.Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico called the Flower Gardens.A team of professional researchers,led by the scientist Dr.Matt Phillips,was trying to learn more about the fish and other creatures that live in this part of the sea.The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore and we spent three days on a boat.
The team used a piece of underwater equipment called a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to collect information.The ROV could measure water depth and temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to the boat.The ROV was great fun.It was controlled by a computer on the boat,and I was allowed to operate it a few times.
However,the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water.At first,I was quite frightened-mainly because I couldn't see land in any direction.But as soon as I jumped into the water,I wasn't afraid anymore.It was amazing to see the colourful fish swimming around and I could see all the way to the Flower Gardens,which are almost 30metres down.
I will never forget the Flower Gardens.The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects.The team were very friendly and everyone was happy to explain what they knew about the sea.It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals in life.The experience will definitely encourage me to work harder to become a scientist.

76.When did the writer take part in the project?(不多于2个词)Last month.
77.What were the researchers trying to learn about in the Flower Gardens?(不多于5个词)The fish and other creatures.
78.What did the writer enjoy most in the project?(不多于4个词)Diving into the water.
79.What will the experience encourage the writer to do?(不多于7个词)Work harder to become a scientist.
80.What is the passage mainly about?(不多于7个词)The author's experience in a science project.
12.Anger is a completely normal,usually healthy,human emotion.(36)EThe problems are at work,in your personal relationships,and in the overall quality of your life.This brochure is meant to help you understand and control anger.
You can't get rid of,or avoid the things or the people that cause you angry,nor can you change them.(37)D
There are psychological tests that measure the intensity(强度)of angry feelings.(38)G.But chances are good that if you do have a problem with anger,you already know it.If you find yourself acting in ways that seem out of control and frightening,you might need finding better ways to deal with this emotion.
(39)B A number of things.One cause may be genetic or physiological:(40)FAnd these signs are present from a very early age.Another may be sociocultural.Anger is often regarded as negative.We're taught that it's all right to express anxiety,depression,or other emotions but not to express anger.As a result,we don't learn how to handle it or channel it constructively.Research has also found that family background plays a role.

B.What makes people become angry?
C.You can use the measure to control your anger.

9.Counterfeit (假冒的) goods,or false versions of products,may cost the government of Kenya as much as $1 billion each year.The fake goods also hurt business owners who find it hard to keep customers.But information technology is being used to try to stop the problem.Jemima Mwafigu is a 34-year-old businesswoman who sells products like perfume.But in the first year of running her business,she found it hard to keep customers because of counterfeit goods.
Ms.Mwafigu says her business has improved since she began using a smart phone application called Barcode (条码) Scanner.The app is used to authenticate (验证) products.It checks to make sure the products are not counterfeit.
"With this application I'm able to scan the bar codes of each perfume and instantly I get the production date,the expiration date and I'm able to know the safety,"she says."That way,I have confidence in selling to my customers."
In 2010,Kenya created the Anti-Counterfeit Agency,or ACA,to fight against illegal trade.The ACA has successfully asked government officials for stronger punishments for counterfeiters.
Agnes Karingu is the agency's acting director for research and awareness.She says the ACA is trying to stay one step ahead of those making fake goods.
"We are also looking into IT solutions where we can be able to use SMS programs,bar codes and information sharing,"she says."The end users of the products will actually be able to get the authentication information,and this information comes back to ACA and intellectual property rights holders."
The agency is testing another program called Allvirtuous.The application is another way to find out if a product is real or not by scanning its barcode.The barcode information is sent to a database.Then a result is sent back to the app.
The International Chamber of Commerce is a global business organization.It says the value of counterfeit goods produced around the world is expected to be more than $1.7 trillion (万亿) this year.

13.Staff employees will not receive a bonus check this year.Unfortunately,company targets for the last financial year were rat met.Though our company showed a profit,the amount of profit was not enough to meet target levels.As a result,no bonus checks will be received this year.For questions concerning this announcement,please
Geoff Sewell in Personnel Relations@909.921.0031.
Typically,bonus checks are paid at the close of the financial year provided company targets are met The bonus targets are based on net profits(净利润)rather than operational profits.Depending upon which target level is met,employees receive a check for either 2% or 4% of their annual salary.

To:Geoff Sewell,Personnel Relations
From:Ernest Wilmand,Marketing
Geoff,
Like most employees,I'm disappointed to learn that we're not getting a
bonus this year.I am writing to express my disagreement with the company policy concerning bonus-targets.Setting this policy essentially leaves it up to the
company as to whether we receive bonuses,since the company can reinvest(再投资)operational profits to an amount that sets our net  profit at below-target levels.I know that company bought back some stocks(股票)at the close of the financial year.
Essentially,this takes operational profit and reinvests it into the company.This action,while strengthening the company's position in the market,reduced net profits to below target levels.
As a stockholder,I do agree with reinvesting in the company through stock buy-backs; However,I strongly disagree with its bad effect on employees.I suggest we change our bonus structure to look at operational profits rather than net.In my opinion,this is the only way that employees have some guarantees that their bonuses can't be taken away through a simple act of an accounting pen.
I appreciate your attention on this matter.
Sincerely,
Ernest Wilmand

11.Saying"I'm sorry"when you've hurt someone can be a hard thing to do.We're stubborn creatures,after all,and don't love dealing with it when we're wrong.But apologizing,and meaning it,is an important part of the forgiveness process.
    Michael McCullough made a research and found that the most sincere,forgiveness-inducing apologies include saying"I'm sorry",offering to make up for the wrongdoing in some way,and taking responsibility.And the reason why they work so well is largely based on principles of evolution:the apologies make the transgressor(犯错的人)seem more valuable as a relationship partner,and also help the victim feel less at risk of getting hurt again.
    One basic scientific implication of the results is that the human psychology of conflict resolution is usually similar to that of animals which live in groups."Many group-living animals,but particularly mammals,seem to use‘peace-making gestures'as signals of their desire to end conflict and restore cooperative relationships with other individuals after aggressive conflict has occurred,"McCullough said."We seem to reach a common view on this point."
"I would say that empathy(情感共鸣)is a part of good mental health,and that could be a part of the natural selection process,too,"Bethany Marshall says."Humans with empathy tend to be healthier and make better choices in life,while those who are aggressive don't tend to do as well."
    And having empathy when you've hurt someone,she says,is the best way to apologize."The most important thing is that you feel the other person's pain,"she explains."So instead of using logic to explain or defend,look inward to identify why you did the bad thing.Then convey that to them and say that you would like to make it better.That counts."
    You can make it even better by making sure to act differently the next time around--what the study authors referred to as"compensation"(补偿).But what tends to happen often,says Marshall,is that people get defensive about what they've done,or even mad at the person they've wronged.So watch your response,because the worst apology,she adds,"is one where the victim is blamed."

51.When you hurt someone and apologize,it meansD.
A.you won't take risk of getting hurt
B.you put a good value on a sincere partner
C.you have to pay a price for your wrongdoing
D.you are ready to be responsible

A.animals are more cooperative with other individuals
B.humans'psychology is very close to animals'when dealing with conflicts
C.aggressive conflicts aren't easy to end among animals
D.signal gestures may help end conflicts
53.According to Marshall,people with empathy tend toC.
A.defend themselves for what they have done
B.try to explain why they do something logically
C.find fault with themselves seriously
D.show aggressive behaviors in life

D.promise to behave yourself well next time

B.How you accept apologizing of others.
C.When it is suitable to apologize.
