    Say you are a 17th century construction worker who's worked long and hard to build a splendid tower for the dead wife of your emperor.
    Now say that the emperor orders your fingertips cut off so you can never build another one. Yes, that is the Taj Mahal,one of the most famous buildings in the world. And the tale behind the construction is just as impressive as the building itself.
    First, there's the emperor of northern India, Shah Jehan,also called the King of the World. In 1612,Shah Jehan married Mumtaz Mahal. Madly in love, they had 14 children over the next 20 years. But then sadness came.  As Mumtaz was about to give birth to child'number 14, she said she had heard her unborn baby cry out. It was a sign of death. And as Mumtaz lay dying, she asked Jehan to build a lasting memorial to celebrate their love.
    When the heartbroken Jehan appeared eight days after his wife's death, his people were shocked to see that his coal-black hair had turned snow-white.
    Putting away his sadness, Jehan ordered his wife's dying wish carried out. More than 20,000 workers labored nearly 22 years to complete the construction. In 1653,Jehan placed Mumtaz's remains in the center under the building.
    And then, son number five, Aurangzeb, murdered his brothers and took over the power from his aging father. Hehan lived the rest of his days-eight years, to be exact-imprisoned not far from the Taj Mahal. Jehan was only allowed to climb onto the top of his prison to see the timeless
    treasure from a distance. But never again would he be allowed to visit it--until he was buried next to his wife.
    Today 25,000 people visit the Taj Mahal each day. Though the reason for building the tower was a strange, sad story, those who see its breath-taking beauty are reminded of the happiness that inspired its construction

    Dear Ana,
    In your last letter, you told me that your boss Stephanie was probably looking for a new job and you didn’t know how to tell her that you wanted to take her position if she left. Well, I’d like to tell you that there is no polite way to talk about this situation with your boss. After all, you are not one-hundred-percent sure that she is actually job-hunting. Even if you know for sure that she is, you can’t, because it’s not your business. Still, there are a couple of things that you can do to put yourself in a good position in case your boss does ride out of Dodge in the near future.
    First, you can have a general conversation with her about your career plans. Say something like, “You’ve always been supportive of me, Stephanie, and I’d love you to give me some advice on my professional development.” This will let your boss know that you’re ready for a new challenge. Ask her to give you feedback about how she thinks you can improve as a future leader.
    Second, ask for your manager’s approval (同意) to talk with the training department about any program the company offers. There may or may not be any training, but making the request will still communicate your desire to get into a people-management role.
    Third, you could say to your boss, “If there is anything you need my help with, I’d love it if you let me know. I am very interested in supporting you with anything you want to hand off.”
    Taking those three steps will make it clear to Stephanie that you’re ready to be her No. 2.
    Best regards,
    Liz

    1. 1.

      The underlined part “ride out of Dodge” in the first paragraph probably means “______”

      1. A.
        get fired by the boss
      2. B.
        go to take a vacation
      3. C.
        change to a new job
      4. D.
        get a higher position
    2. 2.

      We can infer that Ana’s purpose for writing to Liz was to              

      1. A.
        tell Liz that her boss is looking for a new job
      2. B.
        ask Liz if she has the ability to take her boss’s position
      3. C.
        ask Liz for advice on how to find a much better job
      4. D.
        seek advice on how to make her boss know she wants her position
    3. 3.

      Which of the following didn’t Liz ask Ana to do?

      1. A.
        To let her manager know her desire for training
      2. B.
        To ask her boss if she needs any help from her
      3. C.
        To ask her boss for advice on her career plans
      4. D.
        To find out who is also trying to get that position
    4. 4.

      We can learn from Liz’s reply that          

      1. A.
        Ana has never talked about her career plans before
      2. B.
        Ana is very sad to see her boss go as she has helped her a lot
      3. C.
        Ana’s boss Stephanie may not be looking for a new job
      4. D.
        there are some training courses in Ana’s company now
    5. 5.

      According to Liz, if your boss is leaving for another job, you can              

      1. A.
        ask your manager to give the position to you
      2. B.
        write to let him know you want his position
      3. C.
        let him know you want his position indirectly
      4. D.
        write a letter to your best friend for advice

    We thought we had it all---a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.
    That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.
    Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children and each other. That’s what’s important. That makes you a rich man.”
    “ But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me—you’ll hate me,” he replied.
    I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy –as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.
    I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.

    Climbers at the top of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, will now be able to make video calls and surf the Internet on their mobile phones, a Nepalese (尼泊尔的) telecom group claims.
    Ncell, a branch company of Swedish phone giant TeliaSonera, said on Thursday it had set up a high-speed third-generation (3G) phone base station at an altitude of 5,200 metres in the Everest region.
    “Today we made the world’s highest video call from Mount Everest base camp successfully. The coverage (覆盖范围) of the network will reach up to the peak of Mount Everest,” Ncell Nepal chief Pasi Koistinen told reporters in Kathmandu.
    The installation (安装) will also help tens of thousands of tourists and hikers who visit the world’s highest mountain every year.
    Climbers who reached its 8,848-metre peak previously depended on expensive satellite phones and a voice-only network set up by China Mobile in 2007 on the Chinese side of the mountain.
    “This is a great milestone for mobile communications as the 3G high speed Internet will bring faster, more affordable telecommunication services from the world’s tallest mountain,” said Lars Nyberg, chief executive of TeliaSonera, which owns 80 percent of Ncell.
    The 3G services will be fast enough to make video calls and use the Internet, said the company, which also claimed the world’s lowest 3G base at 1,400 metres below sea level in a mine in Europe.
    Despite the installation in Mount Everest, telecom services cover less than one-third of the 28 million people of Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world.
    TeliaSonera said it planned to invest $ 100 million in the next year to ensure that mobile coverage increases to more than 90 per cent of the Himalayan nation’s population.
    The 3G network on Mount Everest puts TeliaSonera ahead of state-controlled Nepal Telecom, Indian-owned United Telecom and China Mobile.
    Around 3,000 people have climbed to the Everest summit since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first people to conquer the peak in 1953

    1. 1.

      Who are most likely to benefit from the 3G services at Mount Everest?

      1. A.
        The telecom firm
      2. B.
        The local residents
      3. C.
        Travelers to Nepal
      4. D.
        Mount Everest explorers
    2. 2.

      According to Lars Nyberg, the 3G services they provide __________

      1. A.
        are fast and convenient
      2. B.
        are a little expensive
      3. C.
        can make voice-only calls
      4. D.
        offer free emailing
    3. 3.

      What do we know about TeliaSonera?

      1. A.
        80 percent of it is owned by Ncell
      2. B.
        It belongs to Nepal Telecom
      3. C.
        It is in the charge of Pasi Koistinen
      4. D.
        It provides services for Pasi Koistinen
    4. 4.

      What is the best title of the text?

      1. A.
        Telecommunication in Nepal
      2. B.
        3G services reach Mt. Everest summit
      3. C.
        TeliaSonera takes lead in communication

    Your living room
    Feng shui is all about balance. Try to arrange sofas and chairs in a square around a circular table. Avoid an L-shaped arrangement as this leaves a missing corner. The centre of the living room should be left clear. Make sure there is a lot of light, which will promote good energy.
    Put plants in the corners of the room, as they attract good energy and will energize your health, but not ones with sharp leaves such as yuccas or cactus. Fresh flowers also bring good energy, but throw them away as soon as they begin to die, and don’t have dried flowers.
    Mirrors are vital because they reflect energy. Round or oval ones are best, but they should not be opposite each other, nor should they reflect a door, otherwise your good fortune will go out of it.
    To promote harmony between the members of your family, have photos of them around the room, preferably smiling. If you want to find a partner, energize the south-west corner of your living room or bedroom by placing a floor light at least 1.75m high there, and turn it on every evening. Surround yourself with decorations and objects in pairs, such as ducks or birds.
    To avoid blocking the positive energy in the room, keep everything tidy. Don’t accumulate too many unnecessary things. Take a look at every object, and ask yourself, “Do I really need it? Do I really like it?” If the answer is no, get rid of it.
    Your bedroom
    You should have the head of your bed placed against a wall, as this gives you a sense of security. Avoid having a bed under a window, as you are exposed to danger and bad energy from outside. If this is impossible, use blinds or heavy curtains to cover the window. Never sleep in a place where you can’t see the door—you should always be able to see someone who’s coming in.
    Avoid hanging pictures or lights above your bed, as this leads to a subconscious feeling of threat. Don’t put mirrors opposite the bed either, as they “break up” the image, and therefore the relationship reflected in them.
    Keep lighting low and soft, and decorate preferably with dark colors. Do not hang paintings of fierce animals, abstract subjects, or water in the bedroom. Water is very good elsewhere, but in the bedroom it suggests financial loss. Make sure you never put plants in the bedroom, and don’t have a TV facing the bed, or at least cover it when it is not in use.
    Your study
    Don’t use the same room for your bedroom and your study, as the different energies will be in conflict. If you have to do this, try to separate the areas either symbolically with plants, or with a screen. Put away piles of files or unfinished work—don’t leave them on your desk. Being tidy promotes positive energy. Wherever you study make sure your desk is in the north-east corner, especially if you are preparing for exams, as this area symbolizes education.
    A bookcase is bad feng shui, as its sharp corners generate negative “arrows”, and if you have one you ought to put a climbing plant on it to avoid this effect. Cupboards are better than open shelves

    1. 1.

      As for lights, which of the following statements is false?

      1. A.
        A partner may come with a tall burning floor light in the south-west corner of your room
      2. B.
        Good energy can be promoted if there is a lot of light in the living room
      3. C.
        Bright lighting in the bedroom can light your mood
      4. D.
        It is not a good idea to hang lights above your bed
    2. 2.

      A bed should be put according to the following rules EXCEPT         

      1. A.
        the head of your bed should be placed against a wall
      2. B.
        having a bed under a window should be avoided
      3. C.
        mirrors should not be opposite the bed
      4. D.
        your bed can’t face the door for the sake of privacy
    3. 3.

      To avoid bad luck, the author will probably agree with the statement that         

      1. A.
        it is economical to sleep and study in the same room
      2. B.
        fresh flowers ought to be put on the bookcase with sharp corners
      3. C.
        blinds or heavy curtains can be used to cover the window if your bed is under a window
      4. D.
        you can accumulate items as you please
    4. 4.

      Which do you think is the best title for the passage?

      1. A.
        Feng shui—a magical power
      2. B.
        How does positive and negative energy come to you?
      3. C.
        Change your room to change your life
      4. D.
        How to reorganize your furniture

    If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent person.
    A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease following operation. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” did much better on language ability tests than without music.
    “Facts suggest that exercise improves the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.
    The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well-being. It helps reduce stress, sadness and nervousness; encourages relaxation or sleep; wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.
    In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had head hurts before and after operation. “The Four Seasons” was used because of its moderate tempo（舒缓的节拍）and positive results in earlier research. “Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system(神经系统) and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability,” Emery said.
    Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By 2000, psychologists were using Mozart’s music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music is not overexciting and has clear structures. A study showed students who listened to Mozart went on to score higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them

    These days, there’s a popular cartoon named happy sheep and gray wolf. It’s an excellent Chinese cartoon, which tells the stories of happy sheep and gray wolf. The poor gray wolf is always trying hard to catch the sheep, but the sheep could always run away from the danger. The sheep are so clever and lovely that the cartoon gets all the children’s love.

She knows she is special and proudly shows off her certificate and book signifying her accomplishments in this special program.
    But her future hasn't always looked so bright. While her mother, Bekelech, sacrificed immensely for Genzeb, she would not have been able to continue sending her to school. When her husband died, Bekelech was the sole provider for their five children. In order for them to survive, she began the daily routine of walking approximately 8-10 miles a day collecting sticks to sell near her 8' x 10' home in Kichene.  It wouldn't have been long before Genzeb would have been, forced to quit school in order to help her mom.    But Bright Future changed all that.

There's also other meaningful opportunities Genzeb experiences which allow her eyes to be opened to the different opportunities that are available to her if she completes her studies.  Field trips are one of her most favorite activities of all. She especially loved the one to Addis Ababa University.
    She knows it goes beyond fun trips, though. "I am happy because I get extra help for school from Bright Future," Genzeb shares.  At so many levels, her involvement with Bright Future allows her to receive a better education, which she values.  For one day she wants to help people in need by becoming a doctor.  And now she knows, that with a lot of hard  work, that dream might just become a reality
