     Flying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortless-you just have to book
your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport. You board the plane and
several cocktails and movies later, you arrive at your destination. People are becoming more aware of
their smart travel. Here are some tips on how to be a clever traveler.
     Easy checkin
     Avoid the queue and check yourself in by using the MAS Web CheckIn (malaysiaairlines.com) in
the comfort of your own home or office. Passengers can now check in online anytime from 24 hours to
90 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time (出发时间). This is available for flights departing
from all MAS stations-except Paris, Kunming, Xiamen and Bandar Seri Begawan-to all MAS
destinations. You can even select preferred seats online.
     Bag hygiene (卫生)
     No, we're not talking about the cleanliness of your bags!It's aviation talk for a bag that doesn't carry
any old baggage tags (标签) with barcodes (条码) that could confuse the baggage sensor (探测装置).
If you find yourself arriving in Sydney while your bag lands in Tokyo, it could be because of your old
baggage tag. Another reason why bags go missing could be the printing quality of the barcodes; bags
are misdirected because the sensors can't read the codes correctly.
     Less is more
     Most airports around the world now set a weight limit of 32kg per piece of baggage. This will not
only help protect the airline workers' health, it will also be easier for you to carry your bags around.
Avoid packing dangerous goods or placing valuables inside your checkin luggage. Ensure that locks are
properly secured as a lot of baggage locks are found caught between the conveyor belts.
Smaller and softer bags are usually placed inside a tray at checkin to protect the locks from contact with
the conveyor belt.

     You are standing in the kitchen and a voice says, "Add a little more salt to that soup." Yes, it's always
nice to have someone help you when you're cooking. But this voice is not from a man. You are alone!
Then where does it come from? Is it from a ghost? No, this isn't a ghost kitchen-it's the kitchen of the
future.
Scientists are working to improve everything in the kitchen, from fridges to tables, and even the ways we
cook. They are making a system. It will help a person cook a meal. You don't need cookbooks. You can hear how to cook food.
     The fridge of the smart kitchen has a scanner. It looks at the foods in the fridge. It will order more milk
from the store when your milk has gone bad or there is no more in the fridge. The gloves will test the
temperature of everything they touch and say, "Need to cook longer" or "Hot and ready to eat". If you
leave them on the stove by mistake, they'll say, "Fire!" Even the knives and spoons will speak. For
example, if your food is bad, the knives and spoons will tell you not to eat it.
     The future kitchen may look wonderful, but it's not cheap. The multimedia fridge costs about 8,000
dollars. So even though high-tech kitchens are no longer a dream, not everyone can afford one.

     The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers
may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For
example, some advertisers appealed to people's desire for better fuel economy for their cars by
advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work.. Others are
worthless and a waste of consumers' money.
     Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to
dieters (节食者.  with the message that there were fewer calories (热量单位,大卡.  in every slice. It
turned out that the bread was not dietetic (适合于节食的. , but just regular bread. There were fewer
calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.
     On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer's real concerns. Consider fire
insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for
fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of
fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance
plans as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.
     Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important
enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to
buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.

1. Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by ________.

A. stressing their high quality        
B. convincing him of their low price
C. maintaining a balance between quality and price
D. appealing to his buying motives

2. The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that ________.

A. thin slices of bread could contain more calories
B. the loaf was cut into regular slices
C. the bread was not genuine bread
D. the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same

3. The passage tells us that _________.

A. sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needs
B. advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don't need
C. the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisements
D. fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment

4. It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should ________.

A. think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisements
B. guard against the deceiving nature of advertisements
C. be familiar with various advertising strategies
D. avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal

5. The passage is mainly about _________.

A. how to make a wise buying decision
B. ways to protect the interests of the consumer
C. the positive and negative aspects of advertising
D. the function of advertisements in promoting sales
     Everyone has good days and bad days.
     Sometimes, you feel as if you're on top of the world. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose
things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.
     For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high selfesteem (自尊) is the key to success.
Now, new research shows that focusing just on building selfesteem may not be helpful. In some cases,
having high selfesteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at
something.
     "Forget about selfesteem, " says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of
Michigan, US, "It's  not the important thing. "
     Feeling good
     Crocker's advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.
     Studies show that people with high selfesteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely
than those with low selfesteem.
     But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on selfesteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida
State University, has found that building up your selfesteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
     He believes that violent and wicked (邪恶的) people often have the highest selfesteem of all. He also
said:"There's no evidence that kids with high selfesteem do better in school. "
     Problems
     All types of people have problems. People with high selfesteem can have big egos (自我) that can
make them less likeable to their peers (同龄人), said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at
Columbia University.
     People with high selfesteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low selfesteem
are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
     What to do
     Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to
society. If you fail at something try to learn from the experience. "The best therapy (药方) is to recognize
your faults," Vohs says. "It's OK to say, I'm not so good at that, and then move on."
1. It is concluded in the research that high selfesteem________.
A. is not important at all
B. has taken on a different meaning
C. may not be the key to success
D. does not help you do better at school
2. According to the research, people with high selfesteem________.
A. have better relationship with people of their own age
B. are more likely to become violent and wicked
C. tend to be proud and do not care much about others
D. often feel depressed and can't focus on their work
3. The advice in the last paragraph is mainly for people________.
A. with high selfesteem  
B. with low selfesteem
C. who are still at school  
D. who are good at everything

     Go ahead, talk to your dog.
     As many a dog owner will prove, our furry friends are listening.Now, for the doubters, there is
scientific proof that they understand much of what they hear.A border collie called Rico can fetch at
least 200 objects by name, researchers in Germany say.The dog also appears to learn words for new
objects as easily as a 3yearold child would.Its wordlearning skill is as good as that of a parrot or
chimpanzee.
     In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided
them randomly into 20 sets of 10 objects each.The dog waited with one of his owners in one room,
while an experimenter put a set of 10 objects into another room.Then, the owner told the dog to fetch
one of the items.  The dog had to go to the other room and bring the object back
     In four trials, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right.Because the dog couldn't see anyone to get visual
clues about what to bring back, the scientists concluded that he must understand the meanings of certain
words.
     In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a
room with seven toys whose names he already knew.The dog's owner then told him to fetch the object,
using a word Rico had never heard.
     In 7 out of 10 trials, Rico picked the right object, suggesting that he figured out the answer by
process of elimination.A month later, he remembered half of the new names, which further impressed the
researchers.
     Rico is probably smarter than the average dog, the scientists say.For one thing, he's a border collie,
a breed known for its mental abilities.In addition, the 9yearold dog has been trained to retrieve toys by
their names since he was 9 months old.
     It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say.Even if they do, they can't
talk back.Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweettalk your pup every now and then.You might just get a big, wet
kiss in return!

1. It is implied that________.

A. Rico is probably cleverer than the average dog
B. Only a few dogs can talk back to its owner
C. if a chimpanzee is trained, it can also recognize the names of objects
D. All dogs can understand words

2. How long is it since Rico's owner began to train him?

A. nine months  
B. 3 years.
C. over nine years.  
D. more than eight years.

3. Rico can do all the following except________.
A. understanding the meanings of certain words
B. picking the right object by process of elimination
C. remembering all of the new names he learned
D. retrieving toys by their names

A. Reasons for Having Large Families in Some Countries.
B. Calculation of Population Growth.
C. Efforts Made to Lower the Mortality Rate (死亡率)
D. High Fertility Rates in Developing Countries.
E. Low Fertility Rates in Developed Countries.
F. Birth Control Programs.
1. _____
     Population growth is determined by the relationship between births and deaths.The growth rate is
calculated by the birth rate minus the death rate.If the birth rate is 4%, for example, and the death rate
is 3%, the population growing at rate of 1% per year.
2._____
     Historically, families had many children, but average life expectancies are low and many children died
young.Improvements in nutrition and public health programs in the past 30 years have led to a drop in
the mortality rate and hence to more rapid population growth.
3._____
     Public health programs and improved nutrition over the past 30 years have brought about declines in
mortality rates in the developing nations.But fertility rates (出生率) have not declined as quickly, and the
result has been high rates of population growth.Reduced population growth depends to some extent on
decreased birth rates.
4._____
     Family planning and modern forms of birth control are important mechanisms for decreasing fertility,
but by themselves such programs have had rather limited success in most countries where they have been
tried.If family planning strategies are to be successful, they must make sense to the people who are
supposed to benefit from them.
5. _____
     To a great extent, in developing countries people want large families because they believe they need
them.In some societies, children are important sources of farm labor, and they may thus make significant
contributions to household income.In societies without any social security programs for the aged, children may also provide a vital source of income for their old parents.

     Compared to people with bad attitudes,  people who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer
from colds,  according to a new study."It's possible that being upbeat helps the body fight illnesses,  "
says Sheldon Cohen,  the study's lead researcher from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.
     In a previous study,  Cohen and his colleagues put coldcausing viruses into the noses of 334 healthy
adults.People who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles,  coughs,  and
other cold symptoms.People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to
their doctors,  even when medical tests detected those symptoms.
     Those findings were interesting,  but they didn't prove that a person's attitude affects whether he or
she gets sick.Instead,  it was still possible that a person's underlying personality is what matters.Evidence
suggests,  for instance,  that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic,  with
high selfesteem and a sense of control over life.This would mean that who we are,  not how we feel,  
ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.
     To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions),  the CMU team interviewed 193
healthy adults.The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks.At the
end of the interviewing period,  people got nose drops that contained either cold or flu viruses.Then,  
each person stayed in an isolated room for 5 or 6 days.The results showed that everyone in the study
was equally likely to get infected.Their symptoms,  however,  differed depending on the types of emotions
that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been
infected with the flu virus,  for example,28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses.On the other
hand,  those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less upbeat.

1. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Smiles Turn away Colds
B. An Interesting Way to Beat Colds
C. Be Outgoing and Optimistic to Fight Colds
D. What Matters More,  Personality or Emotions?

2. In the previous study,  people who showed positive feelings______.

A. didn't catch colds as often
B. developed cold symptoms more slowly
C. were less likely to have cold symptoms detected
D. were less likely to feel cold symptoms

3. What mainly decides our chances of catching colds according to the new study?

A. Personality.  
B. Selfesteem.
C. Emotions.  
D. Attitudes.

4. The underlined word "symptoms" probably means________.

A. something that causes cold
B. something that results in cold
