Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.
China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule started on June 1, 2008. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin plastic bags has also been banned.
The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.
What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Anhui have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.
小題1: People in China have to _____ now.
A．throw plastic bags here and there
B．collect plastic bags in the street
C．pay for using plastic bags at shops and supermarkets
D．use free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets
小題2: China made this rule because plastic bags were bad for the ______.
A．environment B．litter
C．shops D．supermarkets
小題3: Some students in Anhui ______.
A．a(chǎn)sk their parents to make cloth bagsB．make cloth bags themselves
C．pick up plastic bags everywhere D．buy cloth bags for their parents
小題4: What’s the main idea of this article?
A．Making super-thin plastic bags has been banned in China.
B．The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution.
C．Some students in Anhui begin to make their own shopping bags.
D．To protect the environment, free plastic bags have been banned in China.

OK, I admit it: emoticons (表情符號) are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem unable to get through an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without using one. Some feel that they add feeling and character to otherwise cold digital communications.
Some, however, such as editor and Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, blast (抨擊) the use of emoticons as “infantile (幼稚的) just like the people who use them”  He believes that words themselves should be enough. “If you’re being funny, happy or sad, that should be apparent (明顯的) from the comment that goes before the emoticon,” he argues.
In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender issue. “Men don’t use emoticons very much. Maybe not at all,” he said. “Teenage girls and women seem to use them a lot. Maybe there’ s an emoticon gene.”
It’s an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.
In an interview with The New York Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are programmed “to seek out representations of humanity”. He believes that they appeal not because they are shortcuts for the lazy, but because they tap into (融入) something beyond language. They reach to our need to be with and communicate with people.
All of these arguments may be somehow valid (正確的). Each one of us will choose to communicate in our own way. I do not have much time for emoticons. I tried to use one once and felt like I was stealing into a primary school class that I had no place being in. I’d rather let my words do the talking.
Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emoticons. I have no problem with this. I don’t regard any of my friends as lazy or immature (不成熟的). It’s just a question of individuality. :)
小題1:According to the article, emoticons are popular because ______. 
A．most of them look funny
B．they are easy for lazy people to use
C．they add feeling and character to a communication
D．a(chǎn) reader cannot understand a message without them
小題2:Which of the following views would John Blumenthal agree with?  
A．Instant Message chatters are childish.
B．It’s enough to use language in digital communication.
C．Men never use emoticons.
D．There is an emoticon gene in everybody.
小題3:From the text, we can conclude that the author ______. 
A．feels he has no difficulty using emoticons
B．thinks emoticons don’t suit him
C．encourage his friends to use emoticons
D．believes that emoticons are suitable for everyone
小題4:What is the main point of the article? 
A．Advice on language used over the Internet.
B．The history of emoticons.
C．Arguments over the use of emoticons.
D．Reasons for the popularity of emoticons.

In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during of the birth a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally (晚期的）in patients— even when those patients are their parents. This deprives（剝奪）the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies . Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up - to - date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death.
小題1: The elders of today's Americans _______ .
A．a(chǎn)re often absent when a family member is born or dying
B．a(chǎn)re unfamiliar with birth and death
C．usually see the birth or death of a family member
D．have often experienced the fear of death as part of life
小題2: Children in America are deprived of the chance to________.
A．visit a patient at hospitalB．visit their family members
C．learn how to face deathD．look after the patients
小題3: The need of a dying patient for people to accompany him shows________.
A．his wish for communication with other peopleB．his fear of death
C．his unwillingness to dieD．he feels very upset about his condition
小題4: It may be concluded from the passage that________.
A．dying patients should be truthfully informed of their condition
B．dying patients are afraid of being told of the coming of death
C．most patients are unable to accept death until it can’t be avoided
D．most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need

If you struggled to get up for work on Wednesdays, there could be a good reason--it is the day our mood reaches its lowest point. Monday has traditionally been thought of as the most depressing day of the week but according to psychologists, midweek gives more cause for concern in reality. Wednesday represented the lowest point in the week as people were furthest away from the weekend that has either just gone or is coming up and often feel too tired to go on with work.
However, psychologists have found that, on average, people's moods remain about the same on each day throughout the week.
To start their research, the University of Sydney scientists asked around 200 people what they thought their mood would be on each day of the week.
Most said their worst moods were on Monday mornings and evenings but they became increasingly cheerful as the week went on, with their best moods falling on Friday and Saturday mornings and evenings.
When asked why they believed that Friday and Saturday were best, respondents said they saw them as less-structured days when they could choose how to spend their time.
The psychologists then asked a further 350 people how they felt each day.
They found that, on average, people's moods remained about the same on each day throughout the week.Mondays were not as depressing as they had feared and Fridays and Saturdays were not as exciting as predicted.
Professor Charles Areni, who led the study, said the day-of-the-week stereotypes (陳詞濫調) stem from a cultural belief that people are generally happier when they are free to choose their activities compared to when they are engaged in paid work.
In reality, he said, weekends do not often see moods change because they are frequently dominated by productive activities that may require large amounts of energy and begin to feel tired like work. "Day-of-the-week stereotypes like Monday morning blues and Thank God It's Friday are largely illusions," he said.
小題1: _________ has always been thought as the unhappiest day of a week.
A．MondayB．WednesdayC．FridayD．Sunday
小題2:People don’t like Wednesday because ________.
A．work seems to be endless on Wednesday
B．it is the most-structured day of a week
C．they have just had their weekend
D．weekend is still a couple of days’ away
小題3: Which of the following is the finding of the research mentioned in the passage?
A．All of the people asked admitted that on Monday they had the worst moods.
B．Saturday and Sunday were the best because people could plan their time freely.
C．There was no sharp difference in people’s moods between each day of the week.
D．Different people had different ideas about which day was the worst in a week.
小題4: Charles Areni believes that the day-of-the-week stereotypes results from________.
A．the productive activities requiring a large amount of energy
B．the cultural belief that doing paid work is usually less pleasant than doing freely chosen work
C．the illusions of day-of-the-week stereotypes
D．the days in a week when our mood reaches its lowest points
