5．I want to be a writer，an inventor，a social worker，and mayor of New York City．My future is no great mystery （谜） to me，and yours doesn't have to be a mystery either!All it takes is a goal，a little planning，and a lot of self-confidence．
I get excited when I think about what I can do，and so should you．Every dream can become a reality if you work at it．You don't have to limit yourself to doing just one thing．I want to do lots of things，like Benjamin Franklin．He was a writer，an inventor，a politician，and a scientist．
Having a goal，something you really want to do，is a good place to start in solving the mystery of your future．It gives you something to work toward．Your goal may seem impossible at first，but if you break it down，it won't seem so hard．Remember，a goal is something you really want to do，not what someone else wants you to do．
  Other people can help you figure out your future，too．People who do what you want to do are your greatest resources．To find out what they do，you c an volunteer to help them，do an internship，or even just talk to them．Visiting your parents'jobs，going to career fairs，and taking part in after-school programs are other good choices．The Internet and the library are great places to research organizations and programs for young people．You can also read biographies of people who inspire you，which can help you see how other people reached their goals．If you're not certain about your future，explore different careers by asking yourself what you really like to do．
Be realistic when you make your goals but allow a little room for dreaming．Remember，it's OK you're your future to be a little mysterious．That's what makes it so exciting．Someday you may be an astronaut，a carpenter，an ambassador，a writer，a ballet dancer，or whatever else interests you．You may even do it all!

5．If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands，you might have a hard time believing the news：e-mail is on the decline．
At first thought，that might seem to be the case．The incoming generation，after all，doesn't do e-mail．Oh，they might have an account．They use it only as we would use a fax machine：as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites．They rarely check it，though．
Today's instant electronic memos-such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages-are more direct，more concentrated，more efficient．They go without the salutation （称呼语） and the signoff （签收）； we already know the"to"and"from．"Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason：more signal，less noise and less time．This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated．Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later，I can now send you an easily-read message that you can read-and respond to-on the go．
The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail．Instant written messages bring great convince to people．They can deal with them at about any time：before a movie，in a taxi，waiting for lunch．And because these messages are very brief，they're suitable for smart phone typing．
Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history？Not necessarily．E-mail still has certain advantages．On the other hand，tweets and texts feel ephemeral-you read them，then they're gone，into an endless string，e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file，search and return to later．It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications：agreements，important news，longer explanations．
So，e-mail won't go away completely．Remember，we've been through a transition （过度） like this not so long ago：when e-mail was on the rise，people said that postal mail was dead．That's not how it works．Postal mail found its smaller market，and so will e-mail．New technology rarely replaces old one completely； it just adds new alternatives．

56．What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts？C
A．Contact close friends．
B．Send long messages．
C．Fill in some forms．
D．Communicate with their colleagues．
57．Which of the following is mainly discussed in paragraphs 3and 4？A
A．The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail．
B．The likes and dislikes of the young generation．
C．The rapid development of e-communication channels．
D．Evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages．
58．What does the underlined word"ephemeral"in paragraph 5mean？D
A．Automatically-sending．
B．Randomly-written．
C．Hardly-recognized．
D．Shortly-appearing．
59．According to the passage，which of the following statements is true？B
A．It's too early to determine the decline of e-mail．
B．E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantages．
C．E-mail，just like postal mail has come to its end．
D．We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail．
1．However，according to a widely acceptedtheory（理论），the universe began with a"Big Bang"．
13．To his disappointment，not a single gift _____ on his birthday．（　　）

20．A stress ball is a small ball designed t o help relieve stress by exercising the muscles in the hand．Actually，a stress ball does not necessarily have to be shaped like a ball．（36）DThe main characteristic is that it can fit easily in a hand，and it is changeable，allowing a user to squeeze it out of shape while providing some resistance to force the muscles of the hand to work．
（37）FSqueezing a stress ball while imagining a reduction in stress is a frequently-recommended stress management tool for people in demanding jobs．Stress balls are often given away at conferences and other corporate events as promotional tools，reflecting their widespread use．

A variety of things can be used to fill a stress ball．The filling should be firm，with a bit of give to it，forcing people to work to deform the stress ball．You can make your own basic stress ball by filling a balloon with corn starch（淀粉）．Beans and plastic granules（颗粒） may also be used．（39）A．
Using a stress ball doesn't require any particular instructions or skills．（40）CRepeated use of a stress ball can，of course，cause the same problems that other repetitive motions are associated with，but taking breaks from typing and other repetitive tasks to squeeze a stress ball a few times can be beneficial．

A．However，these fillings are less smooth．
B．Also，it can help to develop hand strength．
C．All you need to do is pick the ball and squeeze it．
D．A wide variety of shapes can be found on the market．
E．One of the best handmade gifts for men is a stress ball．

14．Cell Phones：Hang Up or Keep Talking
Millions of people are using cell phones today．In many places，it is actually considered unusual not to use one．（36）BThey find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected．
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried．Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones．Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity（负面报道）of such ideas．（37）E
On the other hand，signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment．In one case，a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss．（38）FThis man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day，every day of his working week，for a couple of years．
（39）DThe answer is radiation（辐射）．High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones．Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation，but they say the amount is too small to worry about．
As the discussion about the safety continues，it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often．
（40）GUse your mobile phone only when you really need it．In the future，mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health．So for now，it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often．
