Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell. But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like the “close” button on a lift.
Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US － the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.
But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.
“A sense of control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University. Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.
For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names either. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer controlled traffic signals were introduced.
But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.
1.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To explore the functions of fake buttons.
B. To describe different fake buttons.
C. To analyze various habits of pushing buttons.
D. To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.
2.What can we learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America?
A. They work when people press them hard.
B. They were designed for a sense of control.
C. They never speed up the door-closing process.
D. They take the safety of the disabled into account.
3.What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?
A. They can make people feel better.
B. They help computers work faster.
C. They can control the traffic signals.
D. They help pedestrians cross safely.
4.Which may be the best title for the passage?
A. Buttons in the USA. B. Buttons Always Lie
C. Buttons May not Work D. “Close” Buttons on Lifts

Most people who took vacations were happier than non-vacationers. So why not start planning your next trip right now? Here are the 4 places you can visit in 2017.
New Zealand
No doubt, many readers—particularly those who love outdoor recreation—will have dreamed of visiting beautiful New Zealand. Now may be the time to do it. The number of airline seats available to travelers going to New Zealand has roughly doubled in the past year, which means you can get relative deals on airfare to the country.
United Kingdom
It won’t be cheap to visit the U. K., but, it will be cheaper than it has been in years, experts say. The pound has fallen significantly against the dollar in recent months, and airfares are good deals now, too. One of the best ways to get deals is to book a hotel-and-airfare package.
The Gulf Coast of Florida
The western edge of the Sunshine State includes such cities as Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg and is known for blue waters and sugar-sand beaches—and, more recently, for relaxing beach vacations on a budget. Seven new hotels opened in that area in 2016, offering extra value of consumers.
Iceland
This country has been on budget travelers’ radar for a number of years, but it’s still offering plenty of deals. Hotels in the country are reasonable. Three-star hotels in May coast about $130 per night and in January $180 per night. One thing not to miss in Iceland: seeing the Northern Lights, best done from October to March.
1.Which destination is especially recommended for tourists who prefer outdoor activity?
A. New Zealand. B. United Kingdom.
C. The Gulf Coast of Florida. D. Iceland.
2.In which month should you go to visit Iceland if you want to save money?
A. January. B. March. C. May. D. October.
3.What benefits can the four places offer tourists?
A. Nice food and goods.
B. Cheap airlines or admission fees.
C. Convenient service and transport.
D. Economical flights or accommodations.

The Alice Ferguson Foundation is a non-profit group that works to improve the environment by building relationships between people and nature. The foundation is based in the state of Maryland. It was created more than 50 years ago. It teaches people ways to protect the environment.
At the end of the year, it designs events to help children celebrate Christmas without increasing the amount of waste they create. Hanna Seligmann works for the foundation. “So let’s figure out what is in our bag of trash.” She shows adults and children how to reduce waste during the holiday gift-giving season. “You can sort it as a cardboard item or you can sort it as a plastic item.” “We encourage using things that are already in your house like newspaper, old magazines, using a gift within a gift.” Urging people to recycle is important in the Washington, D.C., area, because Potomac River, one of the most famous rivers in the country lies there.
“Over time we realized that really just doing trash cleanups was the symptom of the problem, not getting to the root cause. And so it was just a little over a decade ago that we started the initiative (倡议) itself.” says Seligman.
The Trash Free Potomac Watershed Initiative is an effort by the Alice Ferguson Foundation to support clean agricultural methods. It includes educational programs teaching children about the kinds of pollution that can enter the watershed.
One activity is called the Trash Timeline Game. It teaches children that the things they throw away do not decompose, at the same rate. For example, paper dissolves in about four weeks. An apple core may take two months to rot. A metal can take up to 100 years.
1.The Alice Ferguson Foundation ________.
A. devotes itself to keeping citizens engaged in going green

A. buying plastic items
B. celebrating Christmas
C. figuring out how much waste was produced

The Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.
The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.
Better for the Environment
Sustainability(持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.
Taste and Nutritional Content
Locally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.
Community and Home Values
When you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.
1.According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods ________.
A. you are making money from your community
B. you will contribute to protecting the environment
C. you will become much healthier and prettier
D. you can see how fruits and vegetables grow
2.It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ________.
A. the cost of transporting food is passed on to the customers
B. global warming is the most serious problem now
C. North American food is rich in various kinds of materials
D. most people support buying legally
3.Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because ________.
A. they are sent to the market at a high speed
B. they aren’t polluted by chemical fertilizers
C. they can be harvested at any time
D. they are picked when they are fully grown
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.
B. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.
C. The benefits of buying locally.
D. The importance of protecting the environment.

We were told for years that positive thinking was the key to achieving our goals. Now more and more evidence suggests exactly the opposite: that spending a lot of time thinking about your hopes and dreams may make you less likely to put in the work required to actually achieve those dreams. So if positivity is out, what should we replace it with?
New York University psychologist Gabriele Oettingen talked about a four-step plan she’s come up with from her years of research. Oettigen explained the plan as WOOP.
Wish: First, define your goal. “Think about a wish that is dear to you,” Oettingen said. “What is it you really want? This could be running a marathon or losing a certain amount of weight.” Your wish doesn’t have to be huge; it just has to be real, something you truly want.
Outcome: Keeping your goal in mind, ask yourself: If this wish of mine is realized, what is the best possible outcome? “Very often, it is a feeling,” Oettingen said, “You define that outcome, and you imagine that outcome.”
Obstacles (障碍): After you’re let yourself daydream for a little while about what it will feel like when your goal is accomplished, bring your mind back down to reality. “Then you sat, ‘What is it in me that holds me back from experiencing that wish, that outcome?’” Oettinger said. “Very often it’s an emotion, it’s those same old habits. And you imagine that obstacle.”
Plan: “Once you’re imagined that obstacle,” Oettingen said, “you’ll understand what you need to do to overcome it.” If this obstacle pops up, then you’ll do something to get over it and keep going after your goal.
Oettingen’s research has shown that this method has helped people eat more fruits and vegetables; it’s also helped students achieve better grades in school, and it has even helped people act less insecure in their romantic relationships.
1.In the traditional opinion, what is the key to achieving our goals?
A. Positive thinking. B. Enough evidence.
C. Opposite suggestions. D. Replacement of positivity.
2.The word “reality” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to the fact that ________.
A. you have imagined more than you can do
B. you are held back by some obstacles to achieve
C. you have never experienced such a wish or outcome
D. your emotion contributes to forming your same old habits
3.The examples in the last paragraph are used to ________.
A. prove WOOP’s effectiveness
B. encourage readers to be positive
C. offer more possible practical outcomes
D. attract more people to apply this method
4.The method WOOP works mainly because you ________.
A. have a strong wish B. keep a goal in mind
C. come up with a plan D. overcome an obstacle
