  It's Friday morning in the year 2025, and you're running late.You got upset watching the music video that is playing in the corner of your bathroom mirror while you were brushing your teeth.How will you get to your office at Mega Giga Industries on time?

  A quick check of your Internet-connected refrigerator magnet tells you your train, which ________ up to 250 miles an hour as it electromagnetically hovers above its guide track, is a bit behind schedule, too.So you decide to drive your environmentally-friendly hydrogen fuel cell car instead-or rather, let your car drive you.It's programmed to know the way, and it will get you there without speeding, getting lost, or crashing

  Settling into your office chair, which changes color to match what you're wearing, you pick up yesterday morning's newspaper.Printed on reusable electronic paper, it instantly rewrites itself with today's headlines.Now it's time for your big meeting.Uh-oh! You're left your handwritten notes at home.No problem.The digital ink pen you used has stored an electronic copy of what you wrote.

  Your wristwatch videophone suddenly rings.Your best friend's face pops up on the organic light-emitting diode screen asking what you're doing this weekend.Will you slap on your 3-D contact lenses and play virtual soccer with the U.S.Olympic team? No, no.Your friend says, so you have to take the new nano-tube elevator(made of microscopic fibers many times stronger than steel)60, 000 miles into space.

  Could this scene really take place in just a couple of decades? The researchers who are currently developing all this stuff think so.These gadgets may be as common in 20 years as cell phones and DVD players are today.

  “No one is an island”is a well-known line from John Done's Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago.Even now people still agree with him.No one can live a completely isolated life.Without other people, life became empty and sad.We all need to have friends.

  For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling sheepish, we may not want to make the first move.It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.

  There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous.This“how to”book about getting along with other people bacame a best seller.It was later put into 28 languages.

  Dale Carnegie's advice seems to be simple.But can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.

  1.Be friendly and polite.

  Always greet with a smile.Begin with“excuse me”or“would you mind”when you want to ask somebody.Remember to say“thank you”and try to be as helpful as you can.

  2.Go out of your way to be nice.

  Find some time to do special things for other people.Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.

  3.Remember names.

  They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name.

  4.Be open-minded.

  Try to understand other people's way and ideas and learn something from them.

  Nowadays, everyone tends to use EZ link card for transportation.

  Normally, when you get on board the bus, you flash your EZ link card and move in and when you get down the bus, you flash your card again at the exit door(located at the middle of the bus).We all know that if we forget to flash the card, full fare will be deducted(扣除)from the card.

  Below is something not known to public:

  If you get off from the entrance door and you flash your card, the card will capture another entrance fare instead of exit fare, thus meaning that two full fares will be deducted from the card as no exit was being captured for the two entrances.For example, you board a crowded bus at Pasir Ris(where it stops at Jurong East)and decided to get down ten stops later from the door you had entered.If you flash your card at the entrance door without informing the bus driver, a second entrance fare will be captured instead of exit fare thus you are paying two full fares(2×$1.90=$3.80)instead of one fare.This is useful information.

  Here’s the solution:

  Go to the “big” machine(i.e.machine for you to top up the card)located at the MRT stations.

  1)Insert your EZ link card

  2)Press the function key “Check card”

  3)Press “more”

  The above function will show you Information of the last 20 transactions(交易)on the screen.Please pass this e-mail to people you know so that they will not pay extra charges for nothing and burn a big hole in their pockets

  Last but not least, call the hotline:1800 767 4333 when the incorrect fares are deducted.

1.If a passenger had flashed his EZ card twice in one bus ride and it later showed that he had paid twice as much as he actually should, it suggested that _________.

(Please answer within 10 words.)

  It’s not only rocket scientists and journalists who are following the course of “Shenzhou V”, or “Divine ship/vessel V”.There are also lexicographers, or dictionary compilers.The flight of the Spacecraft last week might help put some new words into orbit.

  One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts.It s a combination of the Chinese pinyin “taikong”, meaning space, and the English “astronaut”, from classical Greek:“star sailor/navigator”, for people who was going into space as a career.

  In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15,“taikonaut” was used as a proper noun.For example:The long March 2F rocket carrying “taikonaut” Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the Gobi desert at 9 am and entered its orbit 10 minutes later.

  A Long March 2F rocket called the Shenzhou V-“divine ship” in Chinese-carried a single “taikonaut” named Yang Liwei,38,following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961.

  The word “taikonaut” is not a newly coined term.It first emerged in November,1999,when China launched its first unmanned “Shenzhou Ⅰ” spacecraft.

  At that lime, some English news media predicted that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word “taikonaut” for the Chinese astronauts.It was then borrowed by the Germans media.

  But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries, such as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Cambridge Advanced English

  Learner’s Dictionary.

  However, the launch of the “Shenzhou V” will most likely help boost its status since there is already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry.

  An astronaut of Russian(or the former Soviet Union)is called a “cosmonaut”, from the Russian “kosmonaut”.The word was derived from classical Greek:“kosmonaut”(universal)and “nautes”.One might argue that “cosmonaut” is a Russian variation on the earlier word “astronaut”.

  On March 14,1995,US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space on-board a Russian launch vehicle, arguably making him the first American cosmonaut.

  And if this trend of coinage continues, more English variations for astronaut will appear as more countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space, what would Western journalists call an astronaut from India or Africa we’ll have to wait to see.

1.Give the best title of the passage.(within 10 words)

2.What is the influence to the dictionalry result after the launch of the “Shenzhou V” spacecraft?(within 15 words)

3.The reason why there will be more variations for the word “astronauts” is that.

4.The underlined word “coinage” means.

  Anger and bitterness may affect your health.According to research, forgiveness may help you keep healthy, both physically and mentally.

  Forgiveness-giving up anger toward another-can greatly reduce your body's anger and stress responses, which affect your mental and physical health.Research conducted by the University of Michigan's institute for Social Research has showed that people who forgive themselves and others experience reduced feelings of restlessness, nervousness and hopelessness.Other researches have found forgiveness can also lower blood pressure and heart rates.

  “Stress exacerbates pain, tightens muscles and interferes with the smooth running of the immune(免疫)system.” says Fred Luskin, director of the Forgiveness Project at Stanford University, “People think they have this unlimited storage of anger that will never do harm to their health, but they are quite wrong.”

  And good news:You don't have to be Gandhi to forgive others or ask for forgiveness.“Forgiveness is a teachable skill, which you can learn it just like you learn to play the piano,” says Luskin.

  Remember these tips when learning to forgive:

  Commit yourself.Do whatever you have to do to feel better.Forgiveness is for you, not ________.

  Get perspective.Recognize that your primary distress comes from the hurt feelings and physical upset you suffer now, not what offended or hurt you two minutes or 10 years ago.

  Meet positive goals.Instead of mentally replaying your hurt, seek a new and positive future.

  Live well.Remember that a life well lived is your best revenge.Stop focusing on wounded feelings-that gives the person who caused your pain power over you.Instead, look for love, beauty and kindness around you.

1.What's the main idea of the passage?(Please answer within 8 words.)

2.List three feelings that forgiveness can reduce based on the text.(Please answer within 9 words.)

①_____________

②_____________

③_____________

3.Fill in the blank with proper words to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 6 words.)
