10．George Dawson was born in the state of Texas．He was the grandson of slaves．He began working on the family farm when he was four．When he was twelve，he worked （25）on a nearby farm to help feed his parents and four younger brothers and sisters．For the next eighty-five years，he held a number of different jobs，most of them involving hard labor．
George Dawson lived a happy life（26）even though/if conditions were difficult．When he was ten years old，he saw a young African-American man （27）murdered （murder）．He would have told people about it，but he said his （28）biggest（big） problem was his inability to read and write．
George Dawson kept it a secret that he could not read．But he said he always dreamed that he would learn．Although he had no education，he taught his children （29）to work （work） hard in school．
George Dawson's life changed in 1996．A man came to his house in Texas，and told him that adult education classes were being taught at a nearby school．So the man who （30）had signed （sign） his name with an"X"for almost one-hundred years went to school．
People wondered （31）why Mr．Dawson did not go to school earlier．He said he never had the time because of his farm work．And he never knew about adult education programs．
George Dawson did all he （32）could to learn to read，which influenced students of all ages．He spoke to young people about the importance of learning to read and write．

9．Susan：I'm so glad to see you，David．（61）Ithas been such a long time．How are you？
David：I'm fine，and you？
Susan：I'm just wonderful．God，time goes by so quickly!Are you going to the air quality conference in Chicago？
David：I am．And I'm really glad to see you．Just last night I found your name in the conference materials，but it didn't come to my（62）mindthat we would meet on the plane．
Susan：I'm afraid I haven't had time to look at（63）theconference materials very carefully．I had no idea you were coming，but I am certainly glad to see you．I was feeling very nervous about going there（64）withoutfriends．
David：I can imagine．My English has gotten not so fluent since I returned from the States，（65）so/thereforeI'm rather nervous myself．But I saw that you（66）were giving（give） the most important talk at the conference．
Susan：（67）Frankly（frank） speaking，I'm scared to death about it．
David：I'm just giving a talk in one of the workshop sections，and I hope I won't make all of you（68）disappointed（disappoint）．
Susan：But your English is much（69）better（good） than mine．
David：But you're now the Director of the Air Quality Institute，so you（70）mustknow the technical terms．
Susan：Maybe．But I still can't understand totally a lot of technical terms in my field．

8．A．Different people express anger differently
B．Expressing and repressing（压抑）anger mean almost the same to a person
C．Anger can be very harmful to a person
D．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repessing it
E．How to deal with anger
F．Repessing angry can be more dangerous to a person
Have you ever made a foolish or harmful decision when angry？Have you ever said or done something in the heat of the moment that you wish you could take back？Or do you tend to keep your anger hidden，choosing to bury the feeling and hoping it just goes away？
61．C
  People will be angry when they meet with unpleasant things．But doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that anger can lead to heart disease，stomach problems，headaches，emotional problems and possibly cancer．
62．A
Anger is a normal emotion that we can release from time to time．Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way．Others burst with anger，scream and yell．But other people keep their anger inside．They can not or will not express it．This is called repressing anger．
63．F
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it．They said that when a person is angry，the brain releases the same hormone（荷尔蒙）．They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etc．Anger may cause you a cancer
64．B
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease，and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．
65．E
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger．They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is，they say，"Do not express your anger while angry．Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．"

7．A．Help the people around you smile．
B．Appreciate life's perfect moments．
C．To make the most of your life．
D．Celebrate your existence．
E．Live and breathe the truth．
F．Spend time with positive people．

Some Habits of Super Positive People
    Life is full of positive experiences．Notice them．Notice the sun warming your skin，the small child learning to walk，and the smiling faces around you．Smell the rain，and feel the wind．Live your life to the fullest potential by enjoying the beauty of these experiences，and letting them inspire you to be the most positive version of YOU．
    Living a positive life is all about creating positive habits to help you focus on what truly matters．This is the secret of super positive people．Here are some simple ideas to help you follow in their footsteps．
61．F
    Life's too wonderful to waste time with people who don't treat you right．So surround yourself with people who make you happy and make you smile．People who help you up when you're down．People who would never take advantage of you．People who genuinely care．They are the ones worth keeping in your life．Everyone else is just passing through．
62．B
Your life isn't perfect，but it does have perfect moments．Don't let the little things get you down．You've got plenty of reasons to look up at the sky and say，"Thank you，I will do my best to make this a great day．"So slow down and pause for a moment to stand in awe of（敬畏） the fact that you are alive，and that you have the ability to rediscover life as the miracle it has always been．
63．C
It doesn't have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make good use of your life．Every day is a new day to learn，grow，develop your strengths，heal yourself from past regrets，and move forward．Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself，to adjust who you are，and build on the lessons you have learned．It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life．Using today wisely will always help you create a more positive tomorrow．
64．E
It's the most positive，stress-free way to live，because the truth always reveals itself eventually anyway．So don't aim to be impressive，aim to be true．Those who are true are truly impressive．Being true means having integrity； and integrity is doing the right thing even when you know nobody is watching．
65．A
Today，give someone one of your smiles．It might be the only sunshine they see all day．Sometimes just a single genuine smile or praise can lift a person's spirits to new heights．At the right time，a kind word from a stranger，or unexpected encouragement from a friend，can make all the difference in the world．Kindness is free，but it's priceless．And as you know，what goes around comes around．

6．While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged，loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face．Of all the reasons （32）that explain their loneliness，a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one．This phenomenon is commonly known as"Empty Nest Syndrome"（空巢综合症）．
In order to seek （33）better（good） chances outside their countries，many young people have gone abroad，（34）leaving（leave） their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home．Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights，taking care of themselves，in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them．The fact （35）that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty （36）as they would have if they had not left their countries．Whatever the case，it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match （37）what they actually do．This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing timely response （38）for the needs of their aged parents．
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents （39）has been described （describe） as"distant parent phenomenon"，（40）which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries．Our society has not yet been well prepared for"Empty Nest Syndrome"．
The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries．Whatever the case，it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do．

5．One night I decided to spend some time building a happier and closer relationship with my daughter．For several weeks she （25）had been asking （ask） me to play chess with her，I suggested a game and she eagerly accepted．It was a school night，however，and at nine o'clock my daughter asked if I （26）could hurry my moves，because she needed to go to bed； she had to get up at six in the morning．I knew she had strict sleeping habits，（27）but I thought she ought to be able to give up some of this strictness．I said to her，"Come on，you can stay up late for once．We're having fun．"We played on for （28）another fifteen minutes，during which time she looked anxious．Finally she said，"Please，Daddy，do it quickly．""No，"I replied．"（29）If you want to play it well，you're going to play it slowly．"And so we continued until suddenly my daughter burst into tears，and admitted （30）being beaten （beat）．
Clearly I had made a mistake．I had started the evening wanting to have a happy time with my daughter but had allowed my desire to win to become more important than my relationship with my daughter．When I was a child，my desire （31）to win（win） served me well．As a parent，I realized that it got in my way．So I had to change．

4．When young people get their real jobs，they may face a lot of new，confusing situation．They may find that everything is different from the way things （33）were （be） at school．It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable in both professional and social situations．Eventually，they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations （34）that/which appear in the working world．
Perhaps the best way （35）to learn （learn） how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior．In doing so，you'll be able to see what it is （36）that you admire in this person．For example，you will observe how he acts when he is in trouble．Perhaps even （37）more important （important），you will be able to see what his approach to everyday situations （38）is/will be （be）．While you are observing your colleague，you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like （39）yours and how you can learn from his response to different situations．By （40）learning （learn） from a model，you will probably begin to identify and learn good working habits．

3．Although﹩10seemed a lot for a guided walking tour，I'd paid up like most of the others （16）staying （stay） at the hotel．The tour （17）was supposed （suppose） to start at 9o'clock，so we were getting a little angry and were just about to give up （18）whenthe guide finally turned up at the reception 30minutes late．The girl，（19）who turned out to be an unexperienced guide on her first day of the job，explained that she （20）had left （leave） home on time but had had to go back as she'd forgotten the tour maps．First of all，she sorted out which of us already'had maps and which didn't．We eventually set out at a little after 10，more than an hour （21）behind schedule and started heading for the old town．Although there were only about ten of us，I found （22）it hard to hear her commentary as she seemed to be talking to only the three or four people （23）closet/closer （close） to her．Finally，after a visit to a beautiful old church was cancelled abruptly，I decided to forget （24）the/that/my﹩10and rely on my own map and intelligence for a more （25）personal （person） tour of the town．

A．Whenever possible，use a credit card for payment． B．Check the online store's policies． C．Watch what you download． D．Use a secure web browser． E．Keep your personal information private． F．If you find errors，call your credit card company or bank immediately．

Shopping online offers lots of benefits you won't find shopping in traditional stores．The worldwide stores on the Internet never close．You can order goods directly from almost any country anytime．Taking advantage of their low costs，Internet vendors （商家） often offer highly discounted prices．In addition，Internet stores offer safer and more flexible payment methods than ever before．
Only a few simple tips are required to help ensure that your online shopping experience is a safe one：
61．Never tell your password to anybody，not even your Internet service provider．Other than to gain access，no legal service will ever ask you for your password．Unless you know the people asking and why they are asking for it，never tell anyone your address，telephone number，email address or passwords．E．
62．Look for information about the website's security，refund （退款） and return policies，and statements about how the website will use your personal information．If a web store says nothing about protecting your privacy，shop somewhere elseB．
63．It encrypts （加密） your purchase information so that only you and the vendor can read it．Many online stores now sense whether your browser is secure or not and will help you proceed accordingly．Don't order from online stores that do not offer secured servicesD．
64．Never download files or run programs sent to you by strangers．Beware of clicking on"links"sent to you in email by people you do not knowC．
65．It is best to use a credit card when paying online because federal law protects credit card users from fraud and limits individual liability to $50．Some card issuers might even waive （免除） liability fee or pay it for you．A．

1．Below is a page adapted from About Wikipedia （维基百科） on how to take full advantage of Wikipedia．
Wikipedia is a web-based，free-content encyclopedia （百科全书） in many languages．
§Exploring Wikipedia
Many visitors come to Wikipedia to acquire knowledge，while others come to share knowledge．At this very instant，dozens of articles are being improved，and new articles are also being created．Over 3，500articles have been listed by the Wikipedia community as featured articles．Another 15，000 articles are listed as good articles．Wikipedia is available in more than 280 languages including English．Its related projects include a dictionary，quotations，books，manuals，and scientific reference sources，and a news service．All of these are kept，updated，and managed by separate communities，and often include information and articles that can be hard to find through other common sources．
§Basic navigation in Wikipedia
Wikipedia articles are all linked，or cross-referenced．In every article，there are links to some related articles or Wikipedia pages with further in-depth information．Holding the mouse over a certain link will often show to where the link will lead．There are other links towards the ends of most articles，for other articles of interest，related websites and pages and so on．Some articles may also have links to dictionary definitions，audio-book readings，quotations，the same article in other languages etc．
§Using Wikipedia as a research tool
Wiki articles are never considered complete and may be continually edited and improved．Over time，this generally results in an upward trend of quality and a growing agreement over a representation of information．Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start．Indeed，many articles start their lives as displaying a single viewpoint； and，after a long process of discussion，debate，and argument，they gradually take on a neutral point of view reached through agreement．Others may，for a while，become caught up in a heavily unbalanced viewpoint which can take some time-months perhaps-to achieve better balanced coverage of their subject．
§Wikipedia vs．paper encyclopedias
Wikipedia has advantages over traditional paper encyclopedias．Wikipedia has a very low"publishing"cost for adding or expanding entries and a low environmental impact in some respects，since it never needs to be printed．In addition，Wikipedia has wikilinks instead of in-line （内嵌） explanations and its articles provide not only summaries but also plenty of details．Additionally，the editorial cycle is short．A paper encyclopedia stays the same until the next edition，while editors can update Wikipedia at any instant，around the clock，to help ensure that articles keep up with the most recent events．
