    You know how wonderful you are，and you know that others know how wonderful you are，but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy？For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but the good news is that there is.Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.

    It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that.Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited)，just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
    When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If，for example，(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.
    Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.

    Pessimistic，anxious and depressed people may have a higher risk of dementia (痴呆)，US researchers reported on Thursday.
    A study of a group of 3,500 people showed that those who scored high for pessimism on a standardized personality test had a 30 percent increased risk of developing dementia 30 to 40 years later.
    Those scoring very high on both anxiety and pessimism scales had a 40 percent higher risk，the study showed.
    “There appears to be a dose­response pattern.That is，the higher the scores，the higher the risk of dementia，”Dr Yonas Geda，a neuropsychiatrist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester，Minnesota who led the study，said in a statement.
    Geda and his colleagues looked at the medical records of 3,500 men and women who lived near the clinic between 1962 and 1965.
    They all took the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory，a standard personality and life experience test，Geda’s team told a meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in Miami.
    In 2004，the team interviewed the participants or family members.
    Those who scored higher for anxiety and pessimism on the test were more likely，as a group，to have developed dementia by 2004，including Alzheimer’s disease and vascular (血管的) dementia.
    This did not mean a person who is pessimistic could assume he or she has a higher risk of developing dementia.
    “One has to be cautious in interpreting a study like this，”Geda said.
    “One cannot make a leap from group level data to the individual.Certainly the last thing you want to do is to say，‘Well，I am a pessimist；thus，I am doomed to develop dementia 20 or 30 years later，’because this may end up becoming a self­fulfilling prophecy (预言)．”
    And there is NOT any specific way to prevent dementia，although many studies have shown that a healthy diet，exercise，keeping active in other ways，doing puzzles and other activities lower the risk.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．It is impossible for people to avoid dementia.
    B．People who always have negative feelings may have a higher risk of getting dementia.
    C．If we have a healthy diet，we would have no chance of getting dementia.
    D．A person who is pessimistic has a higher risk of developing dementia.
    小题2:According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
    A．There are many ways to prevent dementia effectively.
    B．A person who is pessimistic is sure to get dementia.
    C．Those who lead a happy life will not get dementia when they are old.
    D．Those who scored high for pessimism might have a higher risk of dementia.
    小题3:Which of the following does NOT help reduce the risk of getting dementia according to the passage?
    A．A healthy diet.B．Proper exercises.
    C．Doing puzzles.D．Getting up early.
    小题4:Which of the following words is not close to the meaning of the word “pessimistic”？
    A．Cheerless.B．Optimistic.
    C．Unhappy.D．Upset.

    One of the most popular activities enjoyed by Americans is spending time in forests and walking along paths through the country.This activity，called hiking，has led to the creation of paths throughout the United States.
    One of the longest is the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.The trail is the first completed part of the National Trails System.The trails system was established by Congress and the president in 1968.The Appalachian Trail is more  than 3,400 kilometers long.It starts in the northeastern state of Maine and ends in the southeastern state of Georgia.The trail goes through 14 states.They are Maine，New Hampshire，Vermont，Massachusetts，Connecticut，New York，New Jersey，Pennsylvania，Maryland，West Virginia，Virginia，Tennessee，North Carolina，and Georgia.
    The path takes walkers through the Appalachian Mountains.They extend from the Canadian province of Quebec to the southern American state of Alabama.
    The Appalachian Mountains are among the oldest on Earth.They first began forming about one thousand million years ago.During the millions of years since then，the mountains were changed and reformed by the forces of water and wind.Ice also changed the mountains，making many of them smaller and digging valleys and lakes among them.Many different kinds of trees grow along the trail.And many different kinds of animals live in the forests along the trail.
    Lands along the trail are protected by the federal government and by state governments.Some parts are not protected by the government directly.Instead，they are protected by legal agreements with private owners willing to permit people to walk across their property.
    Walkers on the Appalachian Trail pass through some of the great valley systems of the mountains.They can look down into these beautiful valleys and see farms and forests stretching across the land for many kilometers.Farmland in the valleys is rich and productive.And some of the great events in American history took place in the valleys.For example，one of the great battles of the American Civil War was fought in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.

    A book review tells not only what a book is about，but also how successful it is at what it is trying to do.Professors often assign book reviews as practice in careful analytical(分析的) reading.
    As a reviewer，you bring together the two strands of accurate，analytical reading and strong，personal response when you indicate(指出) what the book is about and what it might mean to a reader(by explaining what it meant to you)．In other words，reviewers answer not only the WHAT but the SO WHAT question about a book.Thus，in writing a review，you combine the skills of describing what is on the page，analyzing how the book tried to achieve its purpose，and expressing your own reactions.
    Most book reviews start with a heading that includes all the basic information about the book，like：
    Title.
    Author.
    Place of publication，publisher，date of publication.
    Number of pages.
    Like most pieces of writing，the review usually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the review will say.The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again，so your readers don’t have to look up to find this information.You should also include a very brief description of the contents of the book，the purpose or audience for the book，and your reaction and evaluation.
    Then you move into a section of background information that helps place the book in context and discusses how to judge the book.Next，you should give a summary of the main points，quoting(引用) and explaining key phrases from the author.Finally，you get to the heart of your review—your evaluation of the book.In this section，you might discuss some of the following issues：
    ?How well the book has achieved its goal.
    ?What possibilities are suggested by the book.
    ?What the book has left out.
    ?How the book compares with others on the subject.
    ?What specific points are not convincing.
    ?What personal experiences you’ve had related to the subject.
    It is important to use labels to carefully distinguish your views from the author’s，so that you don’t confuse your readers.
    Then，like other essays，you can end with a direct comment on the book，and tie together issues raised in the review in a conclusion.
    There is，of course，no set form，but a general rule is that the first one­half to two­thirds of the review should summarize the author’s main ideas and at least one­third should evaluate the book.
    小题1:According to the text，personal response of a book reviewer refers to “________”．
    A．accurate and analytical reading
    B．the reviewer’s indication of what the book is
    C．the reviewer’s indication of what the book meant to a reader
    D．skills of describing what is on the page
    小题2:What is the most important part of a book review?
    A．The heading.B．The evaluation.
    C．The conclusion.D．The introduction.
    小题3:Readers will get puzzled if ________.
    A．there is no heading in a book review
    B．the book review is not complex enough
    C．the reviewer’s point of view is mixed with the author’s
    D．there are some different issues listed in the book review
    小题4:What does the text mainly tell us?
    A．Steps to read a book.
    B．Tips for writing a book review.
    C．The way to develop your idea.
    D．Things not to be avoided in a book review.

    Is the ‘Go to College’ Message Overdone?
    Even in a weak job market, the old college try isn’t the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.
    “We’ve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there’s a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off… But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you don’t graduate, that is a very bad situation.”
    One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. April’s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadn’t attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor’s degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists cautions that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.
    Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of one’s major: Students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than ones who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.
    She suggested two avenues for improving the situation: increasing vocational(职业的)-technical training programs and taking a page from Europe’s focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher bar for whoever goes to college—but once you get into college, you’re more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).”
    She also is a supporter of technical training—to teach students how to be plumbers, welders and computer programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.
    小题1:People usually think that _____.
    A．the cost of technical schooling is a problem
    B．one will not succeed without a college degree
    C．technical skills are most important for landing a job
    D．there is an increased competition in getting into a college
    小题2:What does the underlined part “taking a page from” mean?
    A．Hearing from.B．Changing from.
    C．Differing from.D．Learning from.
    小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Public institutions charge more for education.
    B．European universities are stricter with students.
    C．Students with certain skills are in great demand.
    D．Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.
    小题4:Ms. Sawhill may probably agree that _____.
    A．too much stress has been put on the value of college degrees
    B．technical training is more important than college education
    C．a college degree will ensure promising employment
    D．it’s easier for art students to find favorite jobs

    Going Green
    For career（职业） changers thinking about growth and advancement potential, forget the blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental responsibility will become main stream within a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like the Internet boom, which not only created new jobs, but also had an influence on the overall economy（经济）,” he says.
    The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of the world have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services. It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?
    Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. As a result, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to satisfy demands in a better way. The increasing demand of newer resources（资源） has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers. 
    Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. People who read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs.
    小题1:Why does Bracken Hendricks mention the Internet Boom in Paragraph One?
    A．To explain the importance of technology.
    B．To provide evidence of his recent research.
    C．To indicate the bright future of green careers.

    Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some call it the summer learning setback（退步）. Simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight.
    Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count. They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.
    But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said, “Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year.”
    Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.
    But calling them “summer school” could be a problem. The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”. In American culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”, “enrichment”, “extra time” and “hands-on learning”.
    小题1:According to the first paragraph the summer learning gap          .
    A．helps children to gain weight
    B．leads children to work harder
    C．improves children’s memories
    D．affects children’s regular studies
    小题2:Compared to traditional schools, students in the year-round ones           .
    A．perform better and have more learning gains
    B．have much less time for relaxation every year
    C．have generally the same number of class days
    D．hold more classes with more free weeks off
    小题3:Which of the following statements is true?
    A．Students from poor families often fall behind after the vacation.
    B．Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.
    C．There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar.
    D．Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vacation.
    小题4:Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?
    A．They cherish the children’s rights of freedom very much.
    B．They are worried about the quality of the “summer school”.
    C．They want their children to be forced to make up the gap.
    D．They can’t afford the further study during vacation.
    小题5:What would be the best title of this passage?
    A．Opening Summer Camps
    B．Forbidding Summer Schools
    C．Spreading Year-Round Education
    D．Minding the Summer Learning Gap

    Many people believe that teaching children music makes them smarter, better able to learn new things. But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.
    An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's abilily to learn or their performance in school. They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.
    Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there's one thing musi­cal training does not do. They say it does not make children more intelligent. Samuel Mehr is a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education. He said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development. He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class, the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts—arts that can be seen.
    "The evidence there is 'no'. We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music clases," said Mehr.Samuel Mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. He says the results have been mixed. He says only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in IQ, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons. He does not believe that IQ is a good measure of child's intelligence. He says researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks or projects, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons. There was no evidence that the musical training group did much better on the mental tasks than the other group.
    The researchers comfirmed the results with a larger group of children and their par­ents.Mr Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life. But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons. In his words, "We teach music because music is important for us."
    小题1:According to the new study, musical training______.
    A．makes children smarter
    B．helps a child express creativity
    C．does not make children more intelligent
    D．improve children's ability to learn in school
    小题2:Samuel Mehr may agree that______.
    A．the children who attended music class are smarter than those who attended arts class
    B．IQ is a good measure of a child's intelligence
    C．we needn't to teach children music
    D．music training is still important for cultural reasons
    小题3:In order to confirm his view, Samuel Mehr______.
    A．conducted more than one research
    B．interviewed many American adults
    C．taught two groups of 4-yetr-olds music and arts
    D．offered children a fast way to be admitted to the best schools

    Around the world coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are facing threats(威胁) brought by climate change and great changes in sea temperatures. While ocean warming has been the primary focus for scientists and ocean policy managers, cold events can also whiten corals. A new study by scientists compared damaged to corals exposed to heat as well as cold stress. The results show that cool temperatures can cause more damage in the short term, but heat is more destructive(破坏性的) in the long run.
    Climate change is widely known to produce warming conditions in the oceans, but extreme cold-water events have become more frequent and serious as well. In 2010, for example, coral reefs around the world faced on of the coldest winters and one of the hottest summers on record.
    During a unique experiment, corals under cold temperatures suffered greater damage in just days compared with heat treated corals. Yet the researchers found that corals were eventually able to adjust to the cold conditions, make their health stable and continue to grow. However, over the long term corals subjected to heat suffered more greatly than those in cold, with evidence of severe whitening and growth stoppage, which leads to death.
    The coral’s ability to adjust to cool temperatures surprised the researchers, who say the study’s results show the complexities(复杂性) of monitoring coral health in response to different environmental factors(因素).
    “Global warming is associated with increases but also decreases of temperatures,” said Deheyn, one of the researchers. “Not much has been known about the comparative effects of temperature decrease on corals. These results are important because they show that corals react differently to temperature differences, which is important for future management of coral reefs in the field of climate change.”
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Corals are unable to adjust to temperature changes.
    B．Cold temperature causes greater damage to corals.
    C．Hot temperature helps coral reefs to grow quickly.
    D．Heat and cold damage corals in their own ways.
    小题2:We can learn from the passage that         .
    A．scientists used to pay no attention to the effect of cold events on corals
    B．2010 witnessed one of the greatest temperature differences on record
    C．corals prefer warmer conditions to cold temperatures in the long run
    D．global warming has nothing to do with the decrease of temperature
    小题3:According to the research,            .
    A．corals may continue to grow in cold events after a few days
    B．cold events help corals grow more quickly in a short time
    C．corals show no response to hot temperatures in the first days
    D．corals are whitened mainly because of warm temperatures
    小题4:Scientists reached the conclusion through              .
    A．news reportB．scientific studyC．great imaginationD．natural conditions
