17.There are various means consumers can do if they find that an item they bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims.A simple and common method used by many consumer is to complain directly to the store manager.In general,the"higher up"his or her complaint,the faster he or she can expect it to be settled.In such a case,it is usually settled in the consumer's favor,assuming he or she has a just claim.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible,but if they cannot get to the place of purchase,it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly,and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question.If this cannot be done,the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong,rather than by making general statements.For example,"The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear"is better than"This stereo does not work".The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer.If so,the consumer should do this,
stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible.If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result,the consumer can go to a step further.She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's  rights.
There are several ways to protect consumers when meeting with unsatisfactory goods.
.Complain directly to a high-rank person for an immediately settlement.
.Face-to-face complaint is more effective than phone complaint.
.Complain politely but firmly
.Provide details of the faulty team
.Take legal action.

5.In the business of day-to-day life,we often forget to stop and be grateful for the present moment.(36)D  It has many mental and physical benefits.If you want to work on being more grateful,try shifting your focus throughout the day.Work on practicing mindfulness,which can help you appreciate the present moment.You should also find a balance,allowing yourself to feel grateful.
(37)A  Mindfulness is also about paying attention to your breath.Breathing is a vital bodily function that we often do not notice throughout the day.Start making a conscious effort to focus on your own breathing.
Breathing is a natural process that follows a certain rhythm.Therefore,when our minds wander and stressful thoughts occur,focusing on the breath can help us stay calm.(38)G.
Find a comfortable place to sit.(39)F   Think of three or four phrases that sum up your core desires.For example,you might come up with something like,"May I be happy in my pursuits.May I have good health.may I be calm and patient throughout the day."
Say this prayer for yourself.(40)B   Direct it towards someone you are thankful for in your life.For example,"May my mother be happy in her pursuits.May my mother have good health,etc."

A.Focus on the breath.
B.Then,direct it outwards.
C.As a result,we feel regretful later
D.However,being grateful is important
E.Find a number of things that can motivate you
F.Close your eyes and imagine your wish for your life
G.It can also allow us to return to the present moment and appreciate it.
12.Think Positive and Feel Positive
When you're in a stressful situation,are you confident or unsafe?Do you react positively or negatively?
(71)A  A study by researchers at the University of Notre Dame found that negative thinking,and depression coming from it,can be catching in certain circumstances.
For example,the researchers studied 103 freshman college roommates who'd been paired casually.(72)E     Specifically,the researchers measured the subject's likelihood to see negative events as a reflection of their abilities and disadvantages.
After only six months,it became clear that thinking patterns and styles can be catching.(73)D
And students paired with more positive thinking roommates were more likely to become more positive in their thinking and report less depression.
(74)B   So they might be particularly accessible to adopting the thought and behavior patterns of people around them-perhaps more so than people in less intense situations at other stages of life.
But maybe not.Other research has shown that,in general,people are affected by how those around them think.(75)F  

A.The answer may depend in part on whom you're around.
B.Now college freshman are in a unique,life changing environment.
C.However,think positive and feel positive is quite important for college students.
D.Students paired with a negative-thinking roommate"caught"that style and became more depressed themselves.
E.They measured each roommate's cognitive weakness,or tendency to give in to negative thinking and depression.
F.So surrounding a negative,depressed person with people who think positively could be a powerful form of treatment.
G.But what was to the researchers'embarrassment was that the subjects never talked with each and stayed apart from each other for most of the time.

If weight loss is your objective,cycling can be very beneficial.A gradual weight loss of about one pound a week is a wise goal,(63)whichhelps to maintain muscle tissue and (64)greatly(great) increase your chance of long-term success.People (65)wholose great deal of weight quickly are very likely    to regain the pounds within the first year.

6.SCS Global Services(SCS)has evaluated a new methodology for measuring the carbon sequestration(封存) ability of soil under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS),a leading greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting system.The methodology,developed by The Earth Partners,will allow land managers who sequester GHGs in grasslands and farmlands to produce carbon credits for sale in the voluntary market.
Managers of grasslands and farmlands can increase carbon sequestration in soil by practices such as changing grazing(放牧)practices and operating treatments designed to improve the variety and productivity of plant groups.The Earth Partners is presently piloting this methodology with farmers across seven million acres of the Palouse River and Columbia Plateau regions in the Pacific Northwest.
"The VCS program has achieved an important milestone in now combining grassland and rangeland carbon offset projects,"said Dr.Robert J.Hrubes,Executive Vice President of SCS."SCS looks forward to approving and verifying agricultural carbon offset projects that use this very powerful new methodology."
The VM0021 Soil Carbon Quantification Methodology is based on decades of soil carbon research and testing conducted by top soil scientists.The methodology was developed by The Earth Partners and verified by Environmental Services,Inc.as well as SCS Global Services.It is the first soil carbon methodology to be approved for use under the VCS.
"This widely tested methodology is the first to specially deal with soils in a market,"said Steven I.Apfelbaum,Chairman of Applied Ecological Services,Inc.and Director of Science with The Earth Partners.According to Apfelbaum,soils represent the second largest living sink of carbon on the planet.

29.The new methodology is assessed according toB.
A.The Earth Partners            
B.the Verified Carbon Standard
C.Environmental Services,Inc.
D.Applied Ecological Services,Inc.
30.Carbon sequestration in soil can be strengthened byB.
A.selling carbon credits in the voluntary market
B.changing grazing practices and operating treatments
C.reducing the variety and productivity of plant groups
D.decreasing farmlands in the Pacific Northwest
31.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A
A.The VCS program proves to be successful in carbon offset projects.
B.Many soil Carbon Methodologies have already been approved for use.
C.The new methodology has been tested in many fields including soil.
D.Soils seem to be the largest living sink of carbon on the planet.
