People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.

The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”

Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.

Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”

Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “ If you don’t know about them, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”

1.The subject discussed in this passage is _______.

A. how people do research studies

B. how people open up when emailing

C. how to communicate at work

D. how to discuss and solve a problem

2.The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.

A. they didn’t talk about very personal things

B. they couldn’t see each other

C. the cameras on the computers were turned on

D. they had to discuss a question

3.In the writer’s opinion, one should ______.

A. focus on oneself when emailing

Do you find yourself reaching for just one more cup of coffee to get through the day? Are you tired of being tired ? Instead of relying on things like coffee or sugar for energy, get happy by eating more foods that give you energy through nourishment. Here are four foods that can help improve your energy levels.

Hemp Seed

A complete protein, rich in fiber and omega-3s, hemp is a great low-glycemic (低胰島素) addition to any diet. The glycemic index (GI) is a measurement of how fast the carbohydrates in food are broken down into glucose (葡萄糖) and how much it will affect your blood sugar. Fiber, fat and protein all lower the GI of a food, which is why hemp seeds (along with nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes)are low-glycemic. Look for hemp seed oil for salad dressing, and hemp seeds to be added into salads.

Soaked Almonds

Raw almonds are nutrient dense, and soaking them releases（釋放） higher nutrition potential. Soaking increases vitamin levels and removes the enzyme (酶) inhibitors that slow down digestion. I soak my almonds in water overnight (at least eight hours) and then dry them.

Quinoa

It is 20-percent protein, making it a balanced source of carbohydrates. Even though you feel like you're too busy to make home-made meals, quinoa is a fast food that cooks in less than 15 minutes.

Green Tea

Caffeine from green tea feels steadier and less sharp than the spike and crash with caffeine from coffee. This is likely because green tea contains L-theanine, a kind of acid found in tea that helps promote relaxation.

1.The writer wrote the passage in order to______.

A. introduce four foods making people energetic

B. find reasons why people need some coffee

C. reach for something to get through the day

D. tell people way of keeping fit

2.Why did the almonds get soaked?

A. It helped increase the enzyme. B. It helped unlock the nutrition.

C. It helped make digestion slow. D. It helped lock nutrient dense.

3.From the fourth paragraph we can know quinoa_______.

A. is rich in protein B. includes much fiber

C. can be served quickly D. has less sharp flavor

Sometimes, we can be defeated by our worries and anxieties. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not. Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments.

1. A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.

Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse.2.When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.

Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones. 3.

Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what you worry about never comes true. 4. Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.

It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slow. All you can do is do your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. 5.

A. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.

B. Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last.

C. When feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.

D. Instead of worrying about something that probably won’t happen, concentrate on what you are able to do.

E. The next time you feel depressed, review your list and think about the good things that you have in your life.

F. A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking.

G. Completing these smaller tasks once at a time will make the stress more manageable and increase your chances of success.

A cellphone is one of the few things that we hold close to our faces all the time, and yet it could possibly explode - this is what made the recent Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 smart-phone accidents so shocking.

According to technology news website The Verge, flawed（有瑕疵的）phone batteries might be to blame.

Even if you are not a science student, you probably know that it is common sense that the anode (the negative（負(fù)的）end of the battery) and the cathode (the positive end) should never touch. If they do, the battery will short-circuit（短路）, causing a powerful electrical reaction that can destroy the battery and cause a fire.

This is why all lithium-ion（鋰離子）batteries - the kind that can be found in many of our devices like tablets and cameras - have a separator layer inside to stop the two ends from touching one another.

But somehow, the separators in some of the Samsung phones broke, causing explosions.

Overcharging is another problem that can make batteries heat up quickly. Fortunately, most batteries are designed to be able to automatically stop charging once they are fully charged. But again, this somehow failed to happen in some of the Samsung phones.

The two “somehows” may sound random（隨機(jī)的）and hard to explain. But they actually both come from the fact that phone producers have been pushing the limits of batteries to meet customers’ demand for a longer battery life.

According to Lynden Archer, a materials scientist at Cornell University, US, we have already achieved 90 percent of the battery life possible from a lithium-ion battery. Customers’ demand that their devices get thinner has also given producers little choice but to try to put more power into thinner batteries.

“The more energy you put into a box, the more dangerous it’s going to be,” Billy Wu, a lecturer at Imperial College London, told The Guardian.

A thinner battery also means producers have to use thinner material for separators, and thinner material has more chance of breaking.

1.A separator layer is put in lithium-ion batteries in order to ___________.

A. ensure a longer battery life

B. prevent a battery from short circuiting

C. connect the anode and the cathode

D. reduce a certain electrical reaction

2.What are the direct reasons for the Samsung phone explosions?

A. Short circuiting and overheating

B. Pushing the limits of batteries

C. Overcharging and thinner batteries

D. Automatic charging and broken separators

3.Lynden Archer’s comments indicate that ___________.

A. demands for thinner cellphones are unreasonable

B. lithium-ion batteries can’t hold much more power than that they do now

C. producers can use 10 percent of a lithium-ion battery

D. new material for batteries is needed to meet consumers’ demands

4.What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the article?

A. To describe problems facing cellphone producers

B. To explain the reasons for the Samsung phone explosions

C. To teach us common sense when it comes to batteries

D. To warn us about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries
