Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname(綽號) “Four dollars a bucket (桶)” to him, for he was always used to leaving an advertisement of his company “Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.

As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office.

“Some people give you a nickname for ‘Four dollars a bucket’. Why aren’t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes.

“Oh! Mr. Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because ‘Four dollars a bucket’ is our company’s advertisement. As long as someone calls me ‘Four dollars a bucket’ once, I think it’s a free advertisement for our company. I have no reason to get angry. Don’t you think so, Mr. Rockefeller?”

“Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Young man, work harder! You must succeed in the future! I believe in you!”

Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller.

Autumn means different things to different people. “It all depends on your personality,” said British naturalist Richard Mabey. “Personality shapes your view of the season,” he said. “You may see it as a fading-away,a packing-up (結束),or as a time of packing in another sense—the exciting gathering of resources before a long journey.”

If this is true,perhaps it tells us a little about,for instance,Thomas Hood,the 19th Century English poet. About November,he wrote:

No warmth,no cheerfulness,no healthful ease

No shade,no shine,no butterflies,no bees

November!

On the other hand,another English poet John Keats,already sensing he was seriously ill,was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language—To Autumn. He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about it.

According to Richard Mabey,Keats has the biological evidence on his side. Autumn is not a time of slowing down,but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures. For example,just at the moment that Keats's “gathering swallows” (in To Autumn)are departing for Africa,millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland,Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain. According to scientists,before falling,the leaves transfer their chlorophyll(葉綠素) and carbohydrates into the woody parts of the tree for safe keeping over winter. What remains is the natural antioxidants (防老劑) in the leaves: the yellow and orange carotenoids (類胡蘿卜素),and another protective chemical specially produced for autumn,the bright-red anthocyanin (花青素).High colour is not a signal of deterioration (退化) and decline,but of detox (排毒的) ability and good health.

A century after Keats,the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal: “Suppose we saw ourselves burning-like maples in a golden autumn. And that we could break up like autumn leaves...dropping their substance like chlorophyll. Wouldn't our attitude towards death be different?”

1.From Thomas Hood's poem,we may infer that ________.

A.he suffered a lot from cold November

B.he missed the shining summer days very much

C.he had a negative attitude towards autumn

D.he enjoyed butterflies and bees very much

2.In autumn,leaves turn yellow before falling because ________.

A.they can't bear the freezing

B.they can't get enough water from the wood part

C.chlorophyll and carbohydrates have been lost through leaves

D.chlorophyll and carbohydrates have come back to the wood part

3.From the passage we can learn that ________.

A.autumn has different faces in different people's eyes

B.John Keats was a good biologist as well as a poet

C.all creatures move from the cold north to Britain for winter

D.the three poets were only known for their poems about autumn

4.Which word can best describe Loren Eiseley's attitude towards autumn?

A.Fearful.B.Optimistic.C.Doubtful.D.Realistic.

Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries.These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go.But,they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost.Many times,the driver is to blame.Sometimes a GPS error is responsible.Most often,says Barry Brown,an expert in human-computer interaction,it is a combination of the two.

We spoke to Mr Brown by Skype (網絡電話軟件).He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States.There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay.Barry Brown:“And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.And,then it wasn't until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived.They actually put their home address ia So again,the GPS is kind of 'garbage in garbage out'”.

Mr Brown says this is a common human error.But,he says,what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings,or failures,of GPS equipment.Barry Brown:“One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn.Because they just give you the next turn,sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it's going to the wrong place.”

Barry Brown once worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh.The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people's cars.They wrote a paper based on their research.It is called “The Normal,Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS”.It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers.These include maps that are outdated,incorrect or difficult to understand.They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.

Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers,passengers and GPS systems work together.

1.In Paragraph 2,Mr Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to .

A.build up his own reputation

B.laugh at his stupid friend

C.prove the GPS system is only garbage

D.describe an example of human error

2.Which of the following statements would Barry Brown most likely agree with?

A.GPS units are to blame for most GPS service failures.

B.We should introduce higher standards for the driving license.

C.Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.

D.Drivers,GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.

3.What is Mr Brown's attitude towards GPS?

A.Unconcerned. B.Prejudiced. C.Objective. D.Critical.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Driving with GPS can be difficult

B.Driving confusions can be caused by small screens

C.Driving without GPS should be much more convenient

D.GPS equipment in driving:to be deserted or improved?

LONDON(AP)---A suburban house that starred onscreen as Harry Potter’s childhood home is on the market---complete with a cupboard under the stairs.

Fans of the boy wizard will recognize 12 Picket Post Close as 4 Privet Drive, home of Harry’s cruel aunt and uncle, the Dursleys.

The couple unwillingly took Harry in after his parents were murdered and made him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs.

The house in Bracknell, 30 miles(50 kilometers)west of London, was a location featured in the 2001 film “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.” A studio set of the house was built for later films of the eight series.

Real estate agency Chancellors(房地產公司總代理)says the three-bedroom house has recently been made over to an extremely high standard.” It’s listed at a price of 475,000 pounds$616,000.)” Real estate agent Paul Bosanko said, “the original plan was to take this property to market without using any reference to Harry Potter. But since news of the connection got out, interest has shot up, and that may or may not influence the final price that we achieve at this property,” Bosanko said.

Neighbor Karen Field said that the house still attracts Potter fans a decade-and-a-half after the film crews left. When the movie first came out, “there were tour buses, literally tour buses coming down the road,” Field said. “It’s a lot quieter now,” she said. “School holidays, you still get people coming along.”

1. What is the news mainly about?

A. 12 Picket Post Close in Bracknell for sale

B. Harry Potter’s s childhood home

C. Visits to Harry Potter’s home

D. Films of Harry Potter at 4 Privet Drive

2.What happened to the suburban house west of London?

A. Harry Potter lived in it in his childhood

B. Harry Potter series were all filmed here

D. It was sold at a price of 475,000 pounds

“Mobile phones killed our man,”screamed one headline last year.Also came statements that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss. And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly showing how mobile phones heat the brain.For anyone who uses a mobile phone,these are worring times.But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scared and you will hear a different story.

What we do have,however,are some results suggesting that mobile phones’emission(輻射) have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that can’t be explained by the general radiation biology.And it’s only when the questions raised by these experiments are answered that we’ll be able to say for sure what moblie phones might be doing to the brain.

One of the strange effects comes from the now famous “memory loss” study Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device(裝置) that copied the microwave emission of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers.The volunteers were all good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen.Preece says he still can’t comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end.But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive(感知的) abilities.“I’m pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory,”he says.

Another expert,Tatterasll,remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss.One result,for instance,suggests that nerve cell synapses(神經元突觸) exposed to microwaves become more—rather than less—receptive to under—going changes linked to the memory formation.

It would be an even happier outcome if microwave turned out to be good for you.It sounds crazy,but a couple of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California,found that mice exposed to microwave for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours(腫瘤) when given a cancer—causing chemical.

So should we forget about mobile phone radiation causing brain tumours and making us unable to think clearly or reasonably?

“If it doesn’t certainly cause cancer in animals and cells, then it probably isn’t going to cause cancer in humans,”says William.And while there’s still no absolute evidence that mobile phone does damage your memories or give your cancer,the unanimity is:Don’t panic.

1.What worries people who use mobile phones?

A. Mobile phones will kill them.

B. Mobile phones cause memory loss.

C. Mobile phones heat the brain.

D. All above is right.

2.What is the attitude of Preece on the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our congnitive abilities?

A. Doubt.B. Disagree.C. Approve.D. Wait and see.

3.The underlined word “unanimity” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”.

A. consensusB. disagreementC. possibilityD. impossibility

4.From the fifth paragraph,we can infer that being exposed to microwaves for two hours ________.

A. can result in killing you

B. is likely to develop brain tumours

C. is unlikely to develop brain tumours

D. will cause your loss of memory for ever

Fixed or growth mindset — which do you have?

We live in an uncertain world with all the technological advances we are experiencing, which meanse is a requirement for a change in midset (思維模式). In order to be on top of our game both personally and organizationally, we need to develop a growth mindset.

A fixed mindset supposes that you have native abilities and are naturally clever or skilled in certain areas of life. When you receive infonnation about how you have performed in a test or set of tasks t you may worry about how you are judged. Our parents probably said to us when we were young,"Since you scored really well in the test, you must be clever." However, by being repeatedly told “You arc clever” or “You are really ga*al al your job”,a person’s self­-respect is actually dainagcd.

The growlh - mindest persona view life as a series of exciting challenges and want t o constantly learn. Brain activity occurs in this mindset when they receive information about what they could do belter or improve. They do not view their abilities as fixed or us failure. Learning is king and the more they practice , the more they know they will succeed.

What is important is giving praise around process and not around ability. For example , instead of saying"Since you got a great score, you must be clever" f say " You got a great score, and you must have tried really hard". This creates challenge in indivicluats and

The meaning of mindsets is massive for business. Fixed-mindset managers are not fans of giving feedback (反饋). They do not want to stretch themselves or others because they fear failure. Therefore their business may stand still because there is no risk or innovation (創(chuàng)新) occurring.

Listen from your own fixed mindset 一 for example ," I can't do that” 一 and answer with a growth-mindset response 一 “I can't do that yet!" Remember there is no such thing as failure and there is s only learning. If you don't fail occasionally ,you will never learn to change and grow.

1.What is the author's opinion of people' s mindsets?

A. A growth mindstet means no failure.

B. People need develop a fixed mindset.

C. A fixed mindset focuses more on process.

D. People should develop a growth mindest.

2.Which judgment seems more encouraging?

A. You are clever.

B. You are skillful.

C. You have worked hard.

D. You arc great at your job.

3.What do the growth-mindset persons most advocate?

A. Keeping on learning.

B. Viewing ability as failure.

C. Giving praise around ability.

D. Learning from the fixed mindset.

4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Always stay in ihe same mindset

The researchers did a study 4.(base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 5.the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.

When the time 6.(be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that, they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 7.they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 8.(good) job than those who wrote them.

So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 9.(draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 10.(research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.
