     Autumn blues Let the sunshine in falling leaves,withering flowers,cold winds,and faint sunshine.
For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression.Spirits can be low.
     People who suffer from "the autumn blues" often are extremely exhausted,lack energy,need
more sleep,feel increased appetite and gain weight.
     "The exact cause of this condition,often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder
(SAD),is not known yet," says Chen Jue,associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center."But
recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is
caused by changes in the availability of sunlight."
      One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight,the biological clock that regulates mood,
sleep,and hormones is delayed,running more slowly in winter.Exposure to light may reset the biological
clock.
     Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered in
individuals with SAD.It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.
     "It is a sad season,but you can try to make it happy.Remember,spring always lives in your heart,"
Chen says.
      Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.
     -Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory
(呼吸) system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.Thus,exercise is calming and
relieves one's mood.
     -Relax at work.Stretch,breathe deeply.Take a tea break.Think of your next vacation.
     -Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.
     -Look at bright colors,such as red and orange.Color therapy improves mood.
     -Listen to your favorite music.You can dance to it,or just lie on a cozy couch,reading a novel.
     -Decorate your room and work space with flowers.Blooming plants are cheering.
     -Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed.Recall some happy memories.

     Here are some ways to help you have a happier and more successful life:
      1 Instead of saying, "Why is this happening to me?" you say, "What can I learn from this?" Trust that
anything difficult in life is temporary. Then life will get better. 2 Without life's challenges, we would never
know what we are truly made of. Therfore, we become stronger and more confident in the process.
     3 It actually works! Don't say it doesn't work until you've tried it. We all have a blueprint for our lives
and making plans will help us realize it.
     Take care of people around you honestly.   4 If you truly care about your friends, family or someone
else, they'll stick with you through high and low because they know you care about them.
     Refuse to compare your progress with others. It will only serve to destroy your confidence. Everyone
is at different stages in their lives. If you understand that you're right where you're supposed to be, then it
won't matter what others are doing. You are unique with special qualities, talents, skills and so on. 5
A. Pay attention to your imagination.
B. The power of making plans cannot be ignored.
C. Try to learn from the difficult situations you meet.
D. Everything you've experienced has been in preparation.
E. There is no one like you, so how can you compare yourself to others?
F. It is through the toughest times we learn what we're capable of doing.
G. People can see right through you and can feel whether you're honest or not.

     Online shopping can help one buy a book, a T-shirt, or a cell phone. Now, even cars
can be purchased on the Internet with just a few clicks of a mouse.
     China's privately owned Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co, which acquired the
Swedish carmaker Volvo Car Corporation from Ford Motor Company earlier this year,
on Monday launched (推出)its official store on Taobao Mall. The venture, on China's
largest business-to-customer shopping site by market share, means Geely is the first
automaker to sell cars on Taobao.
     The company will begin offering two of its Panda models on the website from Dec
22, initially (最初)through a group-buying system. "We will add more cars to the Geely
store in the future, and also sell special editions(版本)which are only available on the
Internet," said Liu Jinliang, vice-president of Geely, adding that the special editions will
help differentiate(区分)the products sold in 4S (sales, service, spare parts and survey)
stores and those on the company's online store.
     Customers can search for information, place orders, and pay their deposit(保证金)
through the company's online store, and then test-drive, obtain their cars, and pay the
remainder of the purchase price at traditional 4S stores. Liu said the company will provide
door-to-door delivery (交货), an installment payment(分期付款)plan, and pay-in-full
services in the future, as it aims to improve the overall quality of online shopping.
     Selling cars online is seen not only as a means of attracting attention, but also as a way
of cutting costs. "By setting up an online store, we can save costs originally incurred (引起)
for land, infrastructure (基础设施), and human resources," said Yang Xueliang, public
relations director of Geely, adding that the company may consider lowering the number
of its physical stores(实体店)if the online venture is successful. "The costs saved, in turn,
will lead to discounts for customers," Yang added.
     Though online stores will not replace the functions of 4S stores, they are a phenomenon
many automakers may adopt in the future, said analysts.
     "It (setting up an online store) helps automakers to explore new ways of selling, though
it is far from a large-scale practice," said Jia Xinguang, a senior auto industry analyst.

A. Online auto stores will replace the functions of 4S stores.
B. Geely is the first automaker to sell cars on Taobao.

B. more cars have been added to the Geely store
C. the cars sold in 4S stores and those on the company's online store are just the same
D. there'll be special car editions which are only available on the Internet

3. It can be implied from the passage that _____________________.

A. the company offers two of its Panda models on the website
B. the company will provide door-to-door delivery service
C. customers must pay all the money through the online store

     Real policemen hardly recognize any similarity between their lives and what they see on TV.
     The first difference is that a policeman's real life revolved round (围绕；以…为目的) criminal law.
He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.
He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his
feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.
     Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on
thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
     Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In
real life, finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and
terrorist attacks, little effort is spent on searching.
     Having made an arrest, a detective (侦探) really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and
to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.
     A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first,
as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with (依照) the law.
Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of
the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
     If the detective has to deceive (欺骗) the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he
meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world
is deepened by the simple-minded - as he see it - of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and
judges, who, instead of eliminating(消除) crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this
will make them reform. The result, detective feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people
who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical (愤世嫉俗的).

	Police in 1.___ world	Police on TV
Knowledge of 2.___ law	He has to know as much as a professional lawyer and 3_____ it to their daily work.	There is no 4.________ for them to know about it.
Different ways time is spent	He 5.____ most of his working life to collecting and providing evidence needed to 6.______ his case in court.	Time is spent finding criminals. Once the criminal is found, the story is 7.____.

     Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply, because no one tells us how to
fail so that  failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part
of the human condition and that every person had the right to fail.
     Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge
that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child's hastily made
table as "perfect" even though it doesn't stand still. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails
science,  his teacher is unfair or stupid.
     The trouble with failure-prevention devices is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the
real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything. No one can win all the
time  and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win. A child who's not invited to a
birthday party, who doesn't make the honor list on the baseball team, feels terrible,
of course, but   parents should not offer a quick consolation prize(安慰奖) or say, "It
doesn't matter." Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment and
be helped to master it.
     Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a
positive  contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask "why did I fail?"
Don't blame  someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If
someone else can help,  don't be shy about inquiring.
     Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as
failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a second one, from an ill-chosen first house
what to   look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can prompt(激起) fresh thinking,
a change  of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet a friend of mine auditioned(面试) for a
professional company. She was turned down. "would further training help?" she asked. The ballet
master shook his head. "You will never be a dancer," he said, "you haven't the body for it."
     In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock(鉴定) bravely and ask, "What have I
left?  What else can I do?"My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center,
a field   where she's both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there's less to lose.
Often  there is recovery of energy-a way to find new possibilities.

1. The first paragraph tells us _______.

A. the reason why so many people are afraid of failure
B. the reason why we don't know how to fail
C. failure is very natural for every person
D. one should be ready to face failure at any time

2. The second paragraph tells us___________.

A. how a mother praised her children
B. two ways of failure prevention most parents use when their children fail
C. how to shift blame
D. parents should blame their children at the proper time

3. According to the author, what should a child know in the real world?

A. Ways to avoid failure.
B. No one can be best all the time at everything.
C. No parents should offer quick consolation.
D. He can get pleasure from failure as well as success.

4. What can make a positive contribution to one's life once he learns to use it?

A. Success
B. Disappointment
C. Failure
D. Value.
