10.Low-Cost Gifts for Mother's Day
Gift No.1
Offer to be your mother's health friend.Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.Most mothers always say"no need,"but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit.The best part?This one is free.
Gift No.2
Help your mother organize all of her medical records,which include the test results and medical information.Put them all in one place.Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them."Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life,"Dr.Marie Savard said.
Gift No.3
Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions."Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep,"Savard said."We know that good sleep is very important to our health."
Gift No.4
Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善机构).Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things-many of which are"green"-and then choose a meaningful charity from a list.When your mother gets the gift,she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.

2.New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue,you may also be seeing it differently.A blue mood may be more than just a figure of speech.Your mood may also affect how you see the world around you,according to a new study.A team of researchers has demonstrated that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.
  The team,led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester,found that people in whom they had induced a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis(轴线),compared to people who weren't feeling sad.
"We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena,like mood.even when these concepts seem unrelated,"Thorstenson said in a statement."We thought that maybe a reason these metaphors emerge was because there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way."
  Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition.In 2010,Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first demonstrated a link between decreased contrast sensitivity and depression.This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Faro et al of the University of Singapore.
  The team conducted two studies.In the first,127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips,which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness (a cartoon clip) or amusement (a stand-up comedy routine).They didn't do that in a specific order.
  The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color swatches.The group that had been shown the cartoon clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis,although no difference was found along the red-green axis.
  For the second study,130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral one.The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group.Again,there was no difference along the red-green axis.
  Because of this lack of difference along the red-green axis,the researchers say the difference in ability cannot be explained by lack of effort,or focus.If the subjects were badly focused,they would have performed equally badly along both color axes.
32.If oneD,the colors he sees might be different from those in others'eyes.
A.is in a good mood     
B.has an eye illness
C.attends a speech     
D.doesn't feel happy
33.Who were the first to find out the link between mood and identifying colours?A
A.Emanuel and his team.
B.Thorstenson and his team.
C.Johnson and his team.
D.Thorstenson and Johnson.
34.The sadness group in the second studyC.
A.felt happy when watching the video
B.performed better than the other
C.were less able to identify some colours
D.could only identify blue and yellow
35.What does the underlined word"randomly"in the fifth paragraph mean most probably?A
A.In no specific place.
B.With no specific rule.
C.In no specific confidence.
D.At no specific time.

20.Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang,Liaoning province,reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services,including high-end cars.Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government,their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.
On Wednesday,news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal"taxi business"of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps,following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.
It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache,a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings,and Kuaidi Dache illegal.But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule,by banning Didi Zhuanche,or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.
Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business.Just last month,Didi Dache got 700 millionin funding fromglo balin vestors,including Sing a porestate investment company Temasek Holdings,Russianin vestment company DSTG lobaland Tencent.Besides,the marketis uncer tainthat Kuaidi Dacheis about to finalizeits late stround of funding after getting 800 million from global investors.
Regulatory uncertainties,however,could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services,which have become popular in most of China's big cities.To be fair,these companies'business model is anything but bad.For example,Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.
Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services.Hence,it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.
28.Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?C
A.Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.
B.Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.
C.Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.
D.Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire the private cars.
29.The author's attitude to banning internet car-hiring service isB.
A.positive        B.negative      C.neutral         D.unclear
30.Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A
A.The problem referred to in the passage exists in all cities
B.App-based car rental is functional to some degree
C.The government should regulate the app-based car rental market
D.Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company
31.we can learn from the passage thatC.
A.Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companies
B.Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche
C.some international investment companies have strong faith in the future of apps-based car rental companies
D.it is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal.
