19．Shortness of breath has many different causes，and the treatment of it is specific for each cause．（36）GThere are，however，some following first aid steps you can use to treat it，at least until the ambulance arrives or you're able to get the victim to a hospital．
（37）A
The more energy you spend，the more oxygen you use and the more short of breath you feel Think about a good workout at the gym．Exercise hard enough and you will feel short of breath．The cure？Take a break．
Let the victim sit，stand or lie where's the most comfortable．There're lots of myths about how some body positions supposedly provide more airflow．Coaches regularly tell players to hold their arms above their heads to maximize chest expansion．Nursing staff assume the"tripod position"is the best position．（38）FUse oxygen．This is a special case used only for folks with chronic lung problems．If the victim has oxygen available，this is what it's for．（39）CThe victim may have been told by his or her doctor that too much oxygen for too long might cause more problems．Assure the victim that sudden increases in shortness of breath are the instances in which oxygen is needed most．
Treat the cause of shortness of breath．（40）DAsthma patients，for example，often have multiple tools and drugs to fix sudden shortness of breath．Victims of lung infections may need to see a doctor and heart attack victims may need an ambulance．

A．Have the victim rest．
B．Take more exercise at the gym．
C．The victim should use his or her oxygen as directed by a doctor．
D．There're many causes of shortness of breath and many of them are treatable．
E．The victim can try to avoid making use of his or her oxygen whenever possible．
F．Every person is different，however，so let the victim decide what position feels most comfortable．
G．In many cases，the only way to treat shortness of breath is to call 911or take the victim to a doctor．
18．Life satisfaction is the way persons evaluate their lives and how they feel about their directions and options for the future．It's a measure of well-being and may be evaluated in terms of mood，satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals and self-concepts to cope with daily life．It's having a favorable attitude towards one's life as a whole rather than just an evaluation of current feelings．Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economy，education，experiences，and residence，as well as many other topics．
Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in，a positive way．These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals．As a matter of fact，in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life．Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals．People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future；additionally，optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction，while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression．
The psychologist，Yuval Palgi，studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties．This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present，but they thought lower of their future．A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence．The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people become older because they become wiser and more knowledgeable，so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more．But when they step into their nineties，future becomes a luxury to them．
According to Seligman，the happier people are，the less they are focused on the negative．Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people，which promotes a happier environment，which then correlates to a higher level of the persons'satisfaction with their life．

16．While being lost in the woods can be a frightening experience，surviving alone in the wild is generally a matter of common sense，patience，and wisely using the gifts that nature provides．（36）D．
Do your research first．Don't just trek off into the wilderness； get a solid understanding of your surroundings first．Studying a map of the area where you're going--and making sure to bring it with you--will increase your chances of not getting lost tremendously．Educate yourself about the flora and fauna of the area you are exploring．（37）C．
（38）A．A cell phone with a spare battery or a portable CB radio can be your best，quickest means of rescue if you are truly lost or injured．A cell signal may only be obtainable only from a hill or tree，but is better than nothing．Serious hikers may even consider investing in a personal locator beacon such as the SPOT Messenger for extended，precarious，or very remote，treks．
Don't panic if you're lost．Panic is more dangerous than almost anything else，because it interferes with the operation of your single best，most useful and versatile survival tool：your mind．The moment you realize that you are lost，before you do anything else，stop．（39）F．Before you act，follow the idea of STOP：S=sit down T=think　O=observe your surroundings P=prepare for survival by gathering materials．
Signal your location．Make noise by whistling，shouting，singing，or banging rocks together．（40）B．If you're in a mountain meadow，make three piles of dark leaves or branches in a triangle．In sandy areas，make a large triangle in the sand．Three of anything in the wilderness is a standard distress signal． 

A．Bring a means of communication．
B．If you can，mark your location in such a way that it's visible from the air．
C．Knowledge of the local plants and animals can save your life 
D．If you want to know how to survive in the woods，just follow these steps．
E．Starvation won't be a big problem．
F．Take a deep breath and stay calm．
G．Having strength in numbers will help you survive．
15．A decade-long study，also the first major research into air pollution and disease has shown that living near a main road increases the risk of dementia（痴呆）．The study of 6.6 million people found that one in 10dementia deaths in people living within 50 metres of a busy road was due to waste gas and noise．
Air pollution is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40，000 people in Britain each year by worsening breathing and heart conditions，while previous research showed emissions（排放物）can cause brain shrinkage．But the new study by Canadian public health scientists is the first to find a link between living close to heavy traffic and the increasing of dementia，a discovery described as"believable"and"impressive"by British experts．
Dr Hong Chen said．"Our study suggests that busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset of dementia．Population growth and urbanization has placed many people close to heavy traffic，and with widespread exposure to heavy traffic and growing rates of dementia，even a modest effect from near-road exposure could cause a large public health burden．More research to understanding this link is needed，particularly into the effects of different aspects of traffic，such as air pollutants and noise．"
In the new study，the team tracked all adults aged between 20and 85living in Ontario for more than a decade from 2001 to 2012．They used postcodes to determine how close people lived to a main road and analyzed medical records to see if they went on to develop dementia，Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis（多发性硬化）．
While there was no correlation between living near a road and Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis，dementia risk reduced as people lived further from a main road，with a 7 percent higher risk in developing dementia among those living within 50 metres； a 4 percent higher risk at 50-100 metres and a 2 percent higher risk at 101-200 metres．After 200 metres there was no increase．Researchers believe that noise of traffic may also play a role in the raised risk as well as other urban pollution，which is often present near busy roads．

28．What can we know about Canadian's new study？C
A．British experts think highly of it．
B．It brings benefits to dementia patients．
C．It shows that air production is very serious．
D．It shows that air pollution can cause brain shrinkage．
29．What Dr Hong Chen said showed thatD．
A．people are diagnosed with dementia mainly due to air pollution
B．widespread exposure to traffic will reduce the risk of having dementia
C．the link between living near roads and having dementia was not obvious
D．busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that caused dementia to increase
30．What does the underlined the word'correlation'mean？B
A．Change．B．Improvement．C．Association．D．Secret
31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？A
A．Living near a main road adds to the risk of noise．
B．Living beyond 300 metres of a main road is safe for people．
C．Living within 200 metres of a main road has a lower risk of having dementia．
D．The further people live away from heavy traffic，the smaller the risk of having dementia．
14．Wilkie Collins was born in London in 1824 and his first novel--a historical romance called"Anatonia"--was published when he was 26．Shortly after this he met Charles Dickens，and they formed a close friendship that lasted for ten years and influenced both men's writing．Collins went on to publish 25novels as well as many short stories，plays and works of non-fiction．However，he is most well known for the two mystery novels"The Woman in White"and"The Moonstone"．
Collins published both mysteries as serials in All the Year Round．When it appeared in the magazine in 1860，"The Woman in White"was so popular that it became the subject of a song and a play．It even influenced fashion，and many women started to dress in white．Eight years later"The Moonstone"was published and earned Collins the title"the father of the modern English detective novel"．T S Elliot，another famous writer，said that The Moonstone was the"first and greatest of English detective novels"，and it is still admired by modern crime writers today．
An author of many mysteries，Dorothy L Sayers considered"The Moonstone"to be"probably the finest detective story ever written"，and many people agree with her．There are several reasons why they think so．One is that Collins uses different characters to tell each section of the story．The characters have very different personalities and voices，which are interesting and often amusing．There are also several features of the plot which started trends in mystery writing．For example，many detective stories are set in a country house，where the theft must have been committed by one of the people in the house．The character of a famous detective with an unusual appearance and habits occurs in many books，and an innocent person is often under suspicion at first．A number of modern films have also used the idea of a cursed jewel stolen from a religious statue．And of course，in The Moonstone and most other good mystery novels，the person who at first seems the least likely to be the criminal turns out to be guilty．

13．Why do interviewers like to ask"What are your favorite interests and hobbies？"at job interviews？Because they want to dig deep into your personal life and get a broader perspective about you．（36）B．
If you haven't impressed the interviewer yet，you might even turn the game in your favor by talking about some impressive hobbies．（37）E．You wouldn't want to miss this opportunity．
Dos and Don'ts while describing your interests and hobbies．
Ideally，you should describe a hobby or interests that add value to the job in consideration．Perhaps，you have interests that drive attention to your positives in building personal relationship or you may have hobbies that prove your analytical skills．
1．（38）FFor example，if you have applied for Sales Job and the employer asks you about interests，you may elaborate upon your involvement in your favorite sport team．This way，the employer will note that you are a result orients person---an aggressive/focused player who sets to achieve targets．Just like any sales annual targets．
2．Don't use general statement to describe your hobbies，suck as，"My hobbies are listening to music，watching television"．Such an answer distracts the attention of the employer and will not make the impression you want．（39）D．
3．Try to balance in listing individual hobbies as well as being part of group activities．（40）G．

A．More importantly，interest is the best teacher
B．Your life outside work may tell a lot about you
C．Don't talk about the activities that distract their attention
D．Further，you may lose the chance for keeping the interest in you
E．What you do in your free time may highlight interesting aspects about you
F．Select those activities that can give you an edge over others as a candidate
G．Most importantly，be honest and back up whatever you say about your hobbies．
12．A strange thing happened to me last Sunday．It was（41）B  a beautiful day that I drove to go for a look in the country．
On the way back home，my car（42）A．It was out of gas on a lonely road far from a town．I decided to walk（43）C   I found someone who could（44）Dsome gas．

it was getting dark．
I knocked at the door and a little old lady with long white hair answered．She said"I've been（47）Afor you a long time．Come in．（48）D   is almost ready．"
"But I only come（49）C   some gas，"I answered．I couldn't imagine（50）A  she was talking about．
"Oh，Alfred!Gas？You （51）A  like tea．"
I quickly（52）D  that my car was out of gas，but she didn't seem to hear me．She just（53）Bcalling me Alfred and talking about（54）C  it had been since she had seen me．She was acting very strangely and I was anxious to（55）D．As soon as she went to get tea，I went out of the house as fast as I could．
（56）C，there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed．When I told the man about my（57）A，he said，"Oh，that's Miss Emily．She lives by herself in that big house．She's out of her mind，but，but she wouldn't hurt（58）B．She is still waiting for the man she was supposed to （59）D  thirty years ago．The day before their wedding he left home and（60）B  came back because of the war．"

10．War started in our house in late July with a month to go before my first day of college．It was a battle of wills over what college I was to attend．Mom wanted me to attend a famous （41）C school，and I wanted to go to a small writing college．Every night for two weeks，we argued，shouted and gave（42）Dtreatments until both sides went to bed with regrets．
