When thinking about quitting(停止) smoking…

List all the reasons why you want to quit. Every night before going to bed, repeat one of the reasons 10 times.
　 Decide positively that you want to quit. Try to avoid negative thoughts about how difficult it might be. Develop strong personal reasons as well as your health and responsibility to others. For example, think of all the time you waste taking cigarette breaks, rushing out to buy a pack, hunting a light, etc. Set a date for quitting --- perhaps a special day like your birthday, a holiday. If you smoke heavily at work, quit during your vacation. Make the date holy seriously, and don't let anything change it. Begin to condition yourself physically; start a modest (適當?shù)? exercise; drink more water; get plenty of rest.
　 Immediately after quitting...
    The first few days after you quit, spend as much free time as possible in places where smoking is prohibited, e.g. libraries, museums, theatres, department stores, etc.
    Drink large quantities of water and fruit juice. Try to avoid wine, coffee, and other drinks which remind you of cigarette smoking.
　 Strike up a conversation with someone instead of a match for a cigarette.
   　 If you miss the feeling of having a cigarette in your hand, play with something else - a pencil, a pen, a ruler. If you miss having something in your mouth, try a fake (仿制的) cigarette.

Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses (感覺)—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. We dream in colour. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again. These repeated（重復的） dreams are often unpleasant. They may even be nightmares—bad dreams that frighten us.

     Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist(心里學家) Sigmund Freud published a book called “The Interpretation(詮釋) of Dreams” in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. These dreams often have something to do with sex and aggression(侵犯). Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions(解答) to problems we face when we are awake. He didn’t believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people’s brains while they are sleeping.

     Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires(愿望).

     Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud published his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.

Researchers who study relationships have discovered that a big difference between those who make new friends easily, and those who don’t, is that socially successful people tend to make eye contact with their conversation partners much more frequently than those who are less successful socially. In fact, you may be able to become much more socially successful by making this one simple change to your behavior.

   Most Americans prefer to have a lot of eye contact when they are talking with someone. When a person doesn’t make eye contact with them, they tend to think that the person is hiding something or the person doesn’t believe in himself/herself.

   When you are having a conversation and you want to leave a friendly impression, be sure to keep looking at that person frequently while you are talking. If it really bothers you to look directly into another person’s eyes, you can gaze generally at, not above, the eyebrow area or the bridge of the nose; this is close enough to the eye region that you will appear to be looking at the person’s eyes. But neither the hair or the shoulders have the same effect. Don’t stare at other people too intensely, otherwise, you will look aggressive(攻擊性).

   Keep the majority of your focus on the other person. If you glance around the room too much, or look too frequently at other people, your conversation partner may guess that you are looking around for someone else you would rather talk with.

   You can lighten your nervousness by smiling more often, nodding, and by gazing at the entire face as well as the eyes. In addition, you can frequently look away for very short periods.

   When people get the sense that you are really paying attention to them, they will be much more likely to want to have conversations with you!

Which of the following is NOT the impression left by those who don’t make eye contact during the talk?

A. They are not telling the truth.        B. They are bored with the partner.

C. They are lacking in confidence       D. They are angry and ready to attack.

Besides the eyes of the partner, during the talk, you can look at his/her ___________.

A. hair       B. shoulders      C. the bridge of the nose       D. area above the eyebrows

From the passage, we can learn that ____________________.

A. looking away during conversation should always be avoided.

B. looking at a person frequently can give him/her a good impression.

C. many Americans feel like being stared at for a long time.

D. all successful people are good at making eye contact.

What would be the best title for the passage?

A. How to make yourself socially successful

B. How to use eye contact to make a good impression

C. How to make friends with the people around you

D. How to leave a good impression during a talk

根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

       When you are hungry, what will you respond? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?      But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, or “Why can’t I think?”

           Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading．

       When you read a book, of course you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you．    Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams！

       This is nothing but creativity．     Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．

       So, friends, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading．    Go and get a book!

       A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．

       B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

       C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry．

       D．Now what are you waiting for?

       E．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading．

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”，said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanreal systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”

His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半導體). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶體結構) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

A. He teaches chemistry at MU.    

B. He developed a chemical battery.

C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.

D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.

A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied. 

B. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.

C. to describe a nuclear-powered system.       

D. to introduce various energy sources.

Liquid semiconductor is used to _________.

A. get rid of the radioactive waste         B. test the power of nuclear batteries.

C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries   D. reduce the damage to lattice structure.

According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.

A. uses a solid semiconductor            B. will soon replace the present ones.

C. could be extremely thin           D. has passed the final test.

The text is most probably a ________.

A. science news report          B. book review   

C. newspaper ad            D. science fiction story
