6．My first insight into the Myanmarese people's respect for elephants came from Ma Lwin，a shopkeeper in a farming village in the western Bago Mountains．It was late afternoon when I arrived，（61）covered （cover） in sand after a long motorcycle ride．Inside Ma Lwin's bamboo house，she offered me hot tea and scolded me for traveling through （62）dangerous（danger） elephant territory（领地）．
Back when the mountans were covered in forest，she told me，elephants and people had lived（63）in harmony．But now that their habitat（栖息地）was being cut and burned down for rubber plantations，the elephants were forced（64）to walk（walk） long distances searching for food，sometimes threatening farmers in the fields．Even （65）so，the farmers told me they loved the elephants．
That was the beginning of months spent（66）journeying（journey） through forests and villages to document the （67）connection（s）（connect） between people and elephants．During my time there，children in camps played alongside elephants used for logging（采运作业）； one day park rangers（护林员）led me toan（69）anelephant giving birth．
Development often（69）gives（give） us the excuse to destroy the environment．As a result，the elephant population has dropped（70）greatly（great）．But observing so many people's high regard for elephants i Myanmar gives me hope that they won't be left behind．
3．Seventh-grader Jonah Maxwell has become a local well-known person after an anti-bullying （反欺凌） video he made became popular online．
He wrote and directed a 6-minute 30-second film with friends from school whose faces can not be seen as a way to take back power from bullies insulting （辱骂） others on social media．
"If it's happened to you，you have to tell someone．If you are doing it，just think about this：It's just as easy to be nice as it is to be mean and manners and respect cost nothing，"he said．
This social media has given bullying a whole new life far beyond fights in the school lunchroom or hallways．
"It's mainly happening through social media but there is physical and social bullying．I have seen people getting‘booked'in hallways-somebody gets knocked into and the books fall all over the floor．The victim gets embarrassed．"
"My dad told me when he was a kid the bullying would stop at 3：30every day．I told him it's not like that anymore．They can get you 247，"he says in the video．Jonah said bullying can start very early in grade school．
He has been interested in making videos from an early age．The first video he ever made was with a Crayola camera when he was 6years old．His dad is a filmmaker with the final editing for his anti-bullyig video．
The youngster said he wants people to"make thir voices heard without fear"and tell someone if they are being bullied．-"Tell someone-it's too hard to go through something like this alone，"he said．
"The bullying never stops if there is social media involved-you don't leave it behid you at the school gates．It's scary for me to think what kids go through but what is worse is that the kids don't feel they should or can tell．Jonah's message clearly states it doesn't have to be this way，"his mother said．
Maxwell said teachers in the United States and abroad，including Brazil，Irelad，the United Kingdom and Australia，have been showing the video in school．"If it changes one person's life itwill have made a difference in our lives，"she said．

10．There is an old saying in English，"（16）F"．Until recently，few people took the saying very seriously．Now however，doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects （作用） it has on the human body．（17）G
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body．People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate，blood pressure，breathing and muscles．It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise．（18）D   If laughter exercises the body，it must be helpful．
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less．In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs．The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program．（19）C
（20）BThey have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing，making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter．

A．Laughter can prolong one's life．
B．As a result of these discoveries，some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics，in which they try to improve their patients'condition by encouraging them to laugh．
C．The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain．
D．It increases blood pressure，the heart beating and breathing； it also works several groups of muscles in the face，the stomach and even the feet．
E．Although laughter helps cure the disease，doctors still cannot put this theory into clinic practice．
F．Laughter is the best medicine
G．They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people's health．
20．Your next car might drive itself．After years of trials on city streets，driverless vehicles are now on the way．Last month，a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon，France．Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or earlier．
Driverless cars will first be huddled with human-driven cars．But the first places where they will become dominant（统治的）are highly populated urban areas．Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars．Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits．
Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent．That's big-the annual deaths on the world's roads are about 1.2 million a year．Pollution and carbon emissions will drop，because urban driverless cars will be electric．
On the other hand，driverless cars will cause problems．Over the next 20 years，the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks，taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced．Traditional carmakers are especially scared．The cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple，Baidu and Google．Imagine Germany，where automobile making is the largest industry．
Dramatic changes are coming，and driverless cars could arrive by 2020．But governments have barely begun thinking about it．Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning．A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming．Now what about the driverless cars？

24．The underlined phrase"be huddled with"in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning with"C"．
A．turn up                  
B．make up for            
C．exist together              
D．take over
25．Driverless cars can reduce pollution and carbon emissions becauseB．
A．they will reduce the number of cars                             
B．they will be powered by electricity
C．they will be energy-saving by driving themselves          
D．they will avoid many accidents from human errors
26．What's the author's attitude toward driverless cars？D
A．Doubtful．
B．Disappointed．
C．Negative．
D．Objective．
27．What can we conclude from the passage？A
A．Driverless cars will not hit the road until 2020．
B．Old auto industry will benefit from driverless cars．
C．Governments are unprepared for the arrival of driverless cars．
D．Driverless cars will make road accidents a past thing．
7．Public Speaking Training●Get a coach
（16）E，so get help．Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses，here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you．
●Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well．Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well．（17）B，so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do．
●（18）C
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts，walk away!Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about．
（19）G．As far as we're concerned，there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking．Your audience can be your friends．
●You are a special person not a clone．
Most importantly，good public speaking training should treat you as a special one，with your own personal habits．（20）A．Your training course should help you bring out your personality，not try to turn you into someone you're not．

A．You aren't like anybody else
B．You already do lots of things well
C．Turn your back on too many rules
D．Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E．Whatever the presentation（呈现），public speaking is tough
F．The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep
G．So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse．
4．Sometimes when I'm flying from one speaking engagement to another，I find myself sitting next to someone who's quite talkative．This is often a pleasant experience for me because I'm a people-watcher．I learn so much by watching and listening to the people I meet and see every day．I've heard stories of sadness and others of delight，fear and joy，and others that would rival those on"Oprah"and"Geraldo"．
Sad to say，there are times when I'm sitting next to someone who just wants to vent（发泄） his temper or inflict（强加）his political views on an audience for 600miles．It was one of those days．I settled in，as my seatmate began his speech on the terrible state of the world with the time worn，"You know，kids today are…"He went on and on，sharing vague notions of the terrible state of teens and young adults，based on watching the six o'clock news rather selectively．
When I gratefully got off that plane and finally made it to my hotel in Indianapolis，I bought the local paper and went to have dinner in the hotel．There，on an inside page，was an article I believe ought to have been the front-page headline news．
In a little Indiana town，there was a 15-year-old boy with a brain tumor．He was undergoing radiation and chemotherapy（化疗）treatments，As a result of those treatments，he had lost all of his hair．I don't know about you，but I remember how I would have felt about that at his age---I would have felt awkward and ashamed．
This young man's classmates willingly came to the rescue：all the boys in his grade asked their mothers if they could shave their heads so that Brian wouldn't be the only bald boy in the high school．There，on that page was a photograph of a mother shaving all of her sons'hair with the family looking on approvingly．And in the background，a group of similar bald young men．
No，I don't despair about kids today．

C．to draw people's attention to care for such people
D．to display his confidence and faith in today's teens．
5．Hobbies are（61）activities（activity） that allow us to spend our free time doing something we enjoy and get relaxed．Many hobbies can develop our interests and help us learn new skills．
Almost everyone has some kind of hobby，（62）fromcollecting stamps to making model airplanes．Different people have different hobbies，（63）depending （depend） on their own interests．
David Smith is a student，and his hobby is writing．To him，nothing makes him （64）happier（happy）than sitting by his desk writing．It was lucky enough for David（65）to meet （meet） a professional writer in the summer of 2000，from （66）whomhe learned a lot about writing．
