18．Everyone has periods in their lives when everything seems very hard and when there's nobody to talk to and the mood is just getting worse and worse．But why not sit and think how sad you are？There are some things that may help you lift up your mood．
Join public and think positively．When we feel depressed，we usually lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad characters we have．But if you call a friend for a cup of coffee，it's a good chance to change your mood into better．Just try to avoid bad thoughts．Instead，try to think only about the bright side of your life．
Be creative!Because creating things can change our mood．While concentrating on creating，you will forget how you have been feeling．
Buy things for others．Not only giving presents to yourself can lift up your mood，but also ____________may be a perfect way to feel happy．It doesn't have to be something expensive．Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind．
Rent a good or happy film．It is always a good idea．To laugh is a very good panacea（万能约）for all kinds of illness!
Meet a positive person．Just try to keep your problems off the conversation．The idea here is to get out of your shell and have some interaction．Get involved with someone else and your mind will take a turn as well．
Try to concentrate on the present and future to make your life better in every possible way．Most bad moods and mental attitudes are the result of something that had happened to us in the past．Making yourself feel better isn't that hard．It's hard only to start doing something that would lift up your mood

Japanese and American Comic Book Heroes
To some people，the idea of reading comic books seems childish．To others，comics are nothing more than （41）J of their happy childhoods．But for people who love comic books，they can be a（n）（42）G escape from the realities of modern life．Comics are able to （43）K readers to brightly-colored，imaginary worlds where superheroes fight with super-monsters，where good can succeed over bad，and where heroes can save thousands of innocent people from the"bad guys．"Comics are published globally，but Japanese and American versions（44）F the market despite the fact-or perhaps because-they differ in some ways．
One difference is the appearance of the heroes．Manga （[日语]漫画） heroes look smaller，younger，and more immature than their all-conquering American ones who have sport muscles and wear themed clothes．Also，manga heroes rarely look Japanese，and the stories are not typically set within a Japanese （45）D．Conversely，American comic heroes，despite their masks，are proudly American and are admired for their （46）C to defend U．S．cities．Importantly，in Japan a manga creator can himself or herself become a national hero，becoming almost as famous as the characters．
Probably the biggest difference is the （47）H．Up until the 1950s，American comic books were read by both children and adults，with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month．The （48）A of TV，however，led to a long-term decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes．In Japan，the （49）E couldn't be greater．There manga sales are still （50）B，reaching as high as 7billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women．A survey by the Mainichi newspaper estimates that 42percent of women aged 20to 49read comics．Manga for men and boys，like the American comics，tend to be action-oriented，while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships．

16．A．disapproving B．likely C．mainly D．inviting E．outstanding F．floats G．focus H．entrance I．rises J．intention K．destination

What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop？The products displayed at the （41）H？Or the soft background music？
But have you ever noticed the smell？Unless it is bad，the answer is（42）Bto be no．But while a shop's scent（香味）may not be （43）Ecompared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there．And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which （44）Fthrough the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance，via scent machines．A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air．One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores，customers'（45）J to purchase increased by 80percent．
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris，scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale．That is（46）C because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be．
Some years ago，the （47）G for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants'（48）A attitude and don't-touch-what-you-can't-afford displays．Now the rise of electronic commerce （ecommerce） has opened up famous brands to a wider audience．But while e-shops can use sights and sounds，only bricks and mortar stores （实体店） can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave．One brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a（49）K．And scent is just one way to achieve this．
Now，a famous store uses complex manmade smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department．Another department store has even opened a new lab，（50）D customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books，pots and drawers，in search of their perfect scent．

My cousin Cherry is a typist which has always wanted to go on a time travel holiday．In order to have a look at the life in one thousand years，she decide to design her own time tour last year．She wanted to take a space capsule to AD 3050．The representative from the time travel company gave her a impression that the space capsule was easy to handle．He told her about its efficient and safety．This increased her motivation to take the DIY （Do It Yourself） time tour．However，his trip was not as successful she had expected．It took her quite a long time to adjust to press down the handle to move forward．Fortunately，with the help of the steward，she was back on her foot quickly．In no time she began to enjoy the exciting life there．Though exhausting，she couldn't fall sleepy in bed．

12．As the development of science and technology（61）sped/speeded （speed） up，people had a much wider range of destinations for their travels．They began to feel fed up with the attractions on the earth．Going to space station became a dream of many residents on the earth．Zhangqiang was no exception．After taking up the prize he had won the year before，he was transported into the future in a time capsule．（62）Instantly/The instant（that）（instant） he arrived there，he was amazed at（63）what the future looked like．Luckily，it was under the（64）guidance （guide） of the stewardess that he adjusted himself to the new surroundings in the space in no time．（65）Having been shown（show） around a strange-looking house，he was then guided to a space station（66）consisting （consist） of three parts．Inside the space station （67）were （be） the most up-to-date inventions of the 31st century．In addition，there was a system（68）where the waste was disposed （69）ofusing the principles of ecology．Though hit by（70）lacking（lack） oxygen，Zhangqiang was satisfied with his journey and optimistic about the future．

11．An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013．The law，approved last March in Israel，requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index （BMI） of at least 18.5for three months before a fashion show．That means a woman who is 68inches tall can weigh no less than 119pounds．
"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders，"said physician Adatto．"Underweight models，"he explained，"can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being sknny．"
But some critics in this country say it is misguided，focusing on weight instead of health．They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry．"I think it's an approach that isn't going to work．"said eating disorder expert Susan Ice，who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models．
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized．He said．"I realized that only legislation（立法） can change the situation．There was no time to waste； so many girls were dieting to death．"
However，the efforts to regulate models'weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health．
Still，folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with．"Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders，but it makes it harder，"she says．"It's a difficult recovery environment，worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal．"

32．One benefit the new Israeli law may bring isB．
A．to change the working conditions of models
B．to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
C．to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
D．to lower the chance of skinny models'death

A．it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit．
B．the fashion industry is much too influential．
C．it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models．

34．What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation？C

B．Establishing his ashion model agent．

10．In the US and Britain，the slogan around colleges was"Save water．Shower with a friend．"Now，Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse．It charges students for the amount of time in a shower．Before entering the bathhouse，students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card．The clock starts ticking the minute and the tap is turned on．It pauses when a button is pressed for soap．An integrated circuit（IC） card reader at each tap shows the time．No money，no water．The benefits of the new sysem can be seen with the old system，which charged 1Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower．The university used about 320tons of water daily under the old system，but only 160tons now．
Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided．Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race．Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower．Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they're still covered in soap．They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time．
"It's a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card，"said Ren，a freshman in Wuhan University．The university is also considering some students'suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they've finished the shower．Not surprisingly，some are complaining about losing the hour shower．But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense．
Without the time limits，most students tended to shower for 30to an hour in the bathhouse．Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes．"In my experience，10-20minutes is enough，"said Dai Zhihua，a third-year student who usually takes 8minutes．
A similar system has been installed in other universities．Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September．The bathing fee thee is 0.2Yuan per minute．One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower．
