     [1] More than 40 million Americans move each year, but not always by choice. Whether you relocate
because of a new job or school for you or your spouse, for a lower cost of living, or for better
opportunities, adjusting to life in a new place can be scary and difficult-especially when you're not in love
with your new city. Here are some tips on how to make the most of your relocation and find happiness in
your new home.
     [2] Treat it as an adventure
Living in a new place is a great opportunity to experience new things and to grow as a person. So stay
positive, and get out there and explore! Sample the local cuisine. Visit landmarks and museums. Try local
activities that weren't available or popular in your former city, such as skiing if you came from a beach
town or surfing if you lived in the mountains. You may discover a talent or interest you never knew you
had.
     [3] Get involved
     Attend local events that interest you. Visit the weekly farmer's market or the neighborhood yard sale.
Volunteer. Take a class. Join a sports league. All of these things will help you meet people and feel
connected to your new town.
     [4] Locate the necessities
     Driving, riding, or walking around your new neighborhood is the best way to learn where everything
is. So head out and take note of the nearest supermarket, pharmacy, post office, library, etc.
     [5] Keep pieces of your old home
     To keep from getting too homesick, subscribe to your former city magazine or newspaper. Display
photos of or souvenirs from your favorite places in your old town. Hang decorations from your former
home. Just don't go overboard-hanging on to too much from your past will keep you from moving
forward and really enjoying your new home.
     [6] _________
     It takes time to get to know a new place, so don't expect to feel comfortable right away. Give yourself
time to adjust. To help the process and to meet new people, find a support group near you at Just Moved.org

   No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words - "I'm sorry".
Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say.    1     
   It is not about winning.
   Friendships aren't like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start
fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you win: the fight by proving you're right and he is wrong,
or by making him be the first to apologize.
   In reality, you'll both lose if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you'll both win if you find a way
to heal it. 
      2   
   You may have heard the expression -"His pride stood in the way". It is usually used to describe a
person who is so determined to be "right" that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. 
   3    Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.
   Take the first step.
   Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? 
    4    You don't have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were
wrong. But you should find something you did or said that's worth apologizing for. Maybe you're sorry
that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted to something your friend did. If you say
you're sorry, it's like an invitation for your friend to do the same.   5   
1. Then try to be the first to apologize. 
2. Stop thinking about your pride. 
3. It's about taking some responsibility for the fight. 
4. Don't let this happen to a friendship you care about. 
5. There are some special cases where you shouldn't be the one to apologize first. 
6. Once you've both said it, you'll both feel a million times better.

      It's interesting that technology often works as a servant for us, yet frequently we become a servant to
it. E-mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new tool. The average business person is getting
about 80 e-mails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their "Inbox" are of little or no
value.
     So, I have four suggestions to help you to become better at "Erasing E-mail".
     Get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of
unwanted e-mails, ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include your inclusion in
unwanted lists.
     "Unlisted address". Just as you keep an "unlisted" telephone number that you share only with those
whom you want to have direct access to, you might want to get a separate e-mail address only for the
important communications you wish to receive.
     Check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server,
monitoring incoming email continuously. Maybe this is because e-mail creates its own sense of urgency,
but most of the communications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.
     Deal with it. As you open each e-mail, do one of the following:
     a. If it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.
     b. If it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.
     c. If it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, schedule it for action in your Day
Planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action.
     I personally receive about 250 e-mails per day and by practicing the suggestions above, I can handle
that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to make
sure I'm doing more important tasks in my day.
1. If you get unwanted e-mails, the best you can do is to ________.
A. make a list of them
B. put them into unwanted lists
C. send them to a special address
D. ask to be deleted from different lists
2. For the important communications, the writer suggests that you ______. 
A. have a direct access for them
B. have several e-mail servers for them
C. get a separate e-mail address for them
D. get an unlisted phone number for them
3. To avoid being chained by the coming e-mails, what you can do is to ________. 
A. respond urgent ones only
B. reply to all of them at the same time
C. handle them a couple of times daily
D. keep replying to e-mails all day long
4. To deal with an e-mail you get, you can do the following EXCEPT _______. 
A. responding right away if it's urgent
B. downloading every e-mail before you reply
C. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much time
D. asking someone else to reply to it if it's not at your convenience

     More surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage
itself is alive and thriving (兴盛). As Skolnick notes, Americans are marrying people-relative to
Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline in the early
1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce rate needs to be
taken in this pro-marriage context: some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage
remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
    What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty-five years ago, the typical
American family consisted of a husband, a wife and two or three children. Now, there are many
marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where
at least some of the children are from the wife's previous marriage, or the husband's, or both. Sometimes
these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses.
     Thus, one can find the very type of family arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage; marriages with "full time" children from the present marriage
and "part-time" children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half-brothers, and
half-sisters. It is not all the unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! There are
enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, one thing
remains constant: most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.
1. By calling Americans marrying people the author means that ______. 
A. more of Americans, as compared with Europeans, prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age
B. Americans expect more out of marriage than Europeans
C. there are more married couples in USA than in Europe
D. Americans are more traditional than Europeans
2. Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today's American families?
A. A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.
B. Many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.
C. Americans prefer to have more kids than before.
D. There are no nuclear families any more.
3. Even though great changes have taken place in the structure of American families ______.  
A. the functions of marriage remain unchanged
B. most Americans prefer a second marriage
C. the vast majority of Americans still have faith in marriage
D. marriage is still enjoyed by all Americans

     The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never
been before.
     But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed
when on line.   1   Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes.
     For anything you're about to send, ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person's face?" If the answer
is no, rewrite and reread.   2  
     If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner.
But try not to do so.  3   If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation

by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
       4   Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to
communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long
answer, be kind about it. If it's a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel
strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you
license to correct everyone else.   5   At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct
yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
     It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know
the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such
questions.

A. Everyone was new to the network once.
B. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
C. It's natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
F. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
G. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying words to a person's face.

     The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat. Your talkative seatmate doesn't
understand your need for sleep. And the aircraft's bathroom is a total mess. These situations can make
even a short flight unbearable .Hopefully you don't cause these unpleasant experiences for others.  1  
     Always recline(向后倾斜) your seat slowly. There's nothing worse than suddenly being hit in the
knees by the seat in front of you. In addition, don't keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always
keep it upright during mealtimes. And remember to put it in the upright position before going to the
restroom (or anytime you leave your seat.)
       2  Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays (盘子)have been collected .It's hard for
passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays. And when using the
bathroom .always clean up after yourself -the next user will be grateful !
     Keep your body-and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your
in-flight seatmate(s) .Share the armrest , especially on a long flight .Also, be careful not to kick or push
on the seat in front of you.
     While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some
people may want to nap ,read or work.  3  
     If you are traveling with someone and want to chat, keep your voices low.   4   People can still hear
through your headphones if the volume is too high.
     When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage .help them if you can.
If you can't help ,wait patiently, and don't push past people to get off the airplane.On your flight ,
remember the golden rule:   5   
A. Don't leave your carry-on in the aircraft.
B. If the conversation seems one-sided , you should notice it.
C. Treat others the way you want to be treated!
D. Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtimes.

     Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had
forgotten her name.
     Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn't
remember where she'd put them.
     Perhaps you've had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven't
realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory
can be improved. If you'll just accept that, the following will show you how.
     First, relax. If you are over worried about something, you'll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that
your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won't remember things. When you forget
something, don't follow up with saying like "Oh, my god! I always forget things!" Such words will have a
bad result on you and your memory.
     But relaxing isn't enough. To improve your memory, you'll need to take an active role. Like your
body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your
memory. For example, if you're learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.
     If you don't take notice of things actively, you won't remember them. So, you can make pictures of
what you see in your mind every day. For example, don't just put your keys down! If you want to find
them again, make a mind picture of the place where you're putting them.
1.   The first two paragraphs just tell us             .
A. Barbara was a very rich person.

     As the Internet's influence grows, the potential for danger also escalates (逐步上升). One of these
dangers is from cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying (网络欺凌) is repeatedly hurting someone else through
the use of technology. It consists of sending or posting cruel messages, photos, or videos on the Internet
or other electronic media with the intent of damaging the reputation of the target. Imagine being a
13-year-old girl discovering a cell phone picture of her changing clothes for gym class has been sent to
all her classmates. Or imagine being an 11-year-old boy who is scared to go to school because an
unknown bully sent him an instant message saying that he is so fat that he should kill himself. Cases such
as these are happening every day, leading kids to be depressed and unable to concentrate.
     Worse yet, parents are oblivious (忽视的) to what is happening. Only 15 percent of parents even
know what cyber-bullying is. And anyone who thinks that their child is not a victim or a bully is probably
wrong. 90 percent of middle school students have had their feelings hurt online and 75 percent have
admitted to visiting a website attacking another student.
     Unlike traditional schoolyard bullying, where a bully has a name and a face, cyber-bullying gets much
of its power from anonymity (匿名). A cyber bully might design a website posting cruel remarks about a
classmate and never tell anyone that he or she was the creator. The cyber-bullying also gets its power
from the scope (范围) of its audience. Within seconds, a cyber bully can send an e-mail to everyone he
or she knows, inviting them to take part in an online poll (民意测验) of who is the ugliest kid in their
class. Victims can be picked on day and night from any place.
     The good news is that you can help stop cyber-bullying. By making parents and educators aware of
what is going on and encouraging them to take quick and strong action when cyber-bullying cases happen, you can help make technology constructive, not destructive, for young people.
1. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. Not many students have known of cyber-bullying.
B. Parents may not know their child is a victim of cyber-bullying.
C. Parents know a lot of cyber-bullying.
D. Most of the students have not been hurt by cyber-bullying.
2. What does the author think of the cyber-bullying?
A. It is not as harmful as people think.
B. It is too complex a problem to settle.
C. It will not affect the relationship between classmates.
D. It can be stopped through our efforts.
3. What will probably be discussed in the following passage?
A. How to prevent cyber-bullying.
B. What parents and educators think of cyber-bullying.
C. How to make parents aware of cyber-bullying.
D. How to make good use of technology.
