19．A．When something comes from within you，you always try your best to analyze it in a scientific way．
B．Psychologists call this private speech----language that is spoken loud but directed at yourself
C．So words to the self，spoken silently or loud，are so much more than just chatter
D．We keep the private speech we use as children inside------but we never truly put away the out=loud version．
E．According to he well-known saying，talking to yourself is the first sign of madness．
F．Self-talk is efficient because when we are vocal about our thoughts，it makes a larger impact on our brain．

Self-talk helps us allTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful．If you've ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech，you'll know the social problems it can cause．（67）E
But there's no need for embarrassment．Talking to ourselves，whether out loud or silently in our heads，is valuable．Far from being a sign of insanity，self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do，manage our activities and control our emotions．
For example，take a trip to any preschool and watch a small girl playing with her toys．You are very likely to hear her talking to herself：offering herself directions and talking about her problems．（68）BWe do a lot of it when we are young．
As children，according to the Russian Psychologist Lev Vygotsky，we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others．As we grow older，we keep this system inside．
Psychological experiments have shown that this so-called inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking．Our words give us an interesting view of our actions．One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person：as"you"rather than"I"（69）DIf you want proof，turn to a sports channel．You're sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself．
Talking to ourselves seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas．Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different place，just like a regular dialogue，and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity．
Both kinds of self-talk-----silent and out loud----seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking．（70）C-

20．The days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past．The famous tourist town of Wuzhen，China，is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction．The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry，and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds．The technology is thought to be up to 99.77percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human．
Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning river system and museums．Baidu，a web firm often referred to as"Chinese Google"，created the system．When people now check in to their accommodation，they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database upon leaving and re-entering the town，the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel，before allowing them back in．
The technology is being used to track the 5，000 visitors that stay in the town's hotels every day．Yuanqing Lin，director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu，told The Verge，"With our technology，you don't need to give your ID．When you are approaching a gate it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database．"Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system，but this could easily be abused．It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying．
Baidu's system is based on neural networks，which can process huge amounts of dat---more than one billion faces．As well as recognizing faces，the system can also discover facial movements，so it can't be fooled by someone holding up a mask．
Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters．

17．Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
﹡Schedule yearly exams．（16）B． Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check．The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．

﹡（19）A．  As part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day．Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．
﹡Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses （隱形眼鏡）．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight．While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses，many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk．（20）F． Otherwise，you may have problems such as red eyes，pain in the eyes，or a more serious condition．

4．Many of you should not own dogs．It's that simple．The reason is that，if you own a dog，you must train a dog，and many dog owners out there，it is safe to say，have little or no control over their dogs，because they do not train them．
Strong words？Maybe．But they are simple，honest words，as untrained dogs living in residential neighborhoods bark at will，run loose，and visit and damage neighboring properties with their owners'blessings as they deliberately （故意） let them run．
Take note of the fact that you，the dog owner，cannot control your dog，causing a continual nuisance （麻煩事） that damages the quality of life in your neighborhood．There's nothing more annoying to most people than a dog that barks and nothing more confusing than trying to understand the deficient （有缺陷的） mentality of the dog owner who allows his dog to do so．After all，the irresponsible dog owner hears the barking too，and so those who must put up with it are continually left wondering-what are they thinking，are they deaf？
Many dog owners believe it is not possible for their dog to be trained，an indication that the owners themselves lack self-discipline，and most likely have never really tried to apply discipline to other issues in their lives，not with consistency，or that they are simply lazy and inattentive to their own adult responsibilities at the expense of others．
Irresponsible dog owners，though，do train their dogs．A dog is a reflection of its owner．Whatever a dog does （run loose，hark at will，jump on guests entering the front door，soil neighboring lawns） is a result of the decisions of the owner．The choice not to do something is indeed a choice．
The good news is that with mere consistency，a dog can be trained rather quickly，in a couple of weeks if the owner takes his responsibility seriously．Again，that process will be a reflection of the owner's behavior，and the primary ingredient （要素） in that behavior is not allowing the dog，not even once，to repeat the bad behavior without consequences when told and directed not to．You can stop your dog from barking with simple firm voice commands，direct eye contact，and force of will in a relatively short time，provided you arc consistent and a reasonably mature person．
Dogs，what's more，love this training because pleasing you，their owner，is what they are all about．The upshot （結(jié)果，要點） will be that you have a more connected relationship with your dog，a better dog that is suited to its environment．

56．Which is NOT the reason for dog owners to have little or no control over their dogs？B
A．They are lazy and unwilling to train their dogs．
B．They think their dogs can act well without training．
C．They lack self-control over many issues in daily life．
D．They don't give enough attention to their responsibilities．
57．What's the author's attitude towards owners of untrained dogs？D
A．Curious
B．Unclear
C．Supporting
D．Disapproving
58．This article is mainly written toA．
A．call on dog owners to train their dogs
B．instruct dog owners how to train dogs
C．sing high praise for responsible dog owners
D．a(chǎn)nalyze the relationship between dog owners and their dogs
59．It can be concluded from the passage thatC．
A．responsible dog owners can put up with dogs'barking
B．irresponsible dog owners deliberately train their dogs to do something wrong
C．wither a dog can be trained properly may depend on the dog owner's behavior
D．we should not own dogs because they can damage the quality of our daily life．

"Want some words of affirmation（肯定）？"a coworker，seeing my mood，kindly suggested．"You don't think they would cheer you up？"
"Today？No．"I shook my head．
"I used to think so too，"he said，"until I realized the effect my words had on a certain person．Well，it was someone I knew pretty well．I have to say I reated him rather badly．"
"You？But you are always so positive!How did you treat him badly？"
"I told him I did not like anything about him，really．I told him I did not even like his name．In fact，it wasn't only what I said．I also did pretty bad things to him．When he was hungry，I did not give him the chance to eat proper food．When he felt like doing something fun，I said to him that he was being childish and having fun was not productive （有成果的）．And worst of all，when he was sick and needed care，I did not care．I told him to get up and get to work．And when he did，I never told him he did good work．You could say I was ashamed of him，"he said．"I wanted to get rid of him because he just wasn't good enough for me---but couldn't．"
"But that was heartless!"
He nodded．"Then one day it all changed．I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror one morning．I saw the dark circles under his eyes，I saw the excess （過量的） weight．I saw the hair that needed cutting．And I saw the eyes that once had looked at the world eagerly．Now they were so sad and tired．And there and then I realized he deserved better．So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person after all．"
My jaw （下巴） dropped．I looked at him---full of positive energy，in good shape，always ready to encourage others．
"Wow…"
He winked （眨眼） at me．"So how about having a little positive conversation with the bathroom mirror？The person in there has the greatest effect on you!"

19．One way people are responding to food safety concerns is by growing their own food．However，not everyone lives on property with enough space for a private plot．One solution is community gardens，which have become popular worldwide，numbering 18，000 in North America alone．In addition to providing low-cost，delicious food，these public spaces offer cities a range of other benefits．
Community gardens are located in a town or city and tended by local residents．Often，the land is on a vacant lot owned by the city．The site is divided into manageable plots，which may be tended by individuals or by the garden's members collectively．Since the land is usually publicly owned，the cost for gardeners to lease it is minimal．In fact，New York City，which is home to more than 750 community gardens tended by more than 20，000 members，charges people just $1 a year to lease a plot．Other costs involve soil，tools，seeds，fencing，and so on．However，because they're shared by many people，individual gardeners pay very little．
A community garden can quickly pay off，in terms of delicious fruits and vegetables，in addition to beautiful flowers．Excess produce can be sold for a profit at farmers markets．But a garden's benefit don't stop there．They also beautify cities，foster strong relationships among residents，and lower an area's crime rate．Award-winning spaces like London's Culpeper Community Garden even attract tourists．Beautiful and affordable，community gardens are often described as oases in crowded cities．
 
56．Community gardens are designed for those whoA．
A．a(chǎn)re concerned about food safety
B．live in a house with a private plot
C．can't afford to buy organic food
D．don't have their own property
57．New York CityC．
A．is owned by 20，000 individual gardeners
B．charges residents a lot to lease tools and fencing

D．is tended by professional gardeners and local residents
58．What's the benefit of community gardens？B
A．People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and animal meat．
B．Residents are more familiar and related with each other．
C．The neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste．
D．People can make some profits from the visiting tourists．
59．The underlined word"oases"is closest in meaning toC．
A．cultural and art centers
