19.Luong Van Inh is among the Asians threatened by an environmental risk rarely considered:Indoor air pollution caused by burning wood,coal or other cheap fuels in kitchens.It kills about 1.5million people worlwide each year.
Up to 3billion people around the world depend on solid fuels such as wood,coal,crop waste or animal waste for indoor cooking and heating.The resulting smoke ranks as the fourth-biggest health risk in the poorest countries,yet it's not paid more attention to.One article stressed that improved stoves with chimneys could reduce exposure (暴露) to indoor smoke by 30percent to 50percent.
Even World Health Organization (WHO) was surprised by the problem.Earlier this year,the WHO for the first time studied the effects of indoor air pollution on health around the world.In 2002,nearly two-thirds of all global deaths linked to burning solid fuels were in the Asia-Pacific region.Afghanistan,Pakistan and Bangladesh had the highest percentage of death and disease linked to indoor air pollution in Asia,followed by India and Laos.Women and children are the hardest-hit because they're at home the most.Mothers in many developing countries cook with their babies tied to their backs.This affects only the poorest so it's easy for the decision-makers who no longer live in this type of community not to even see it.
Using improved stoves and cleaner fuels are the good ways to solve the problem,but cost remains a barrier.China started the world's largest stove modern-izing effort in the 1980s,handing out up to 180million new stoves,all with chimneys,over 15years.The driving force (原動力) was not health,but fuel efficiency (效率),as farmers were running out of cooking fuel.However,in the long run,they need to move to cleaner fuel.
29.What is the main idea of the passage?B
A.Health is closely related to environment.
B.Indoor air pollution threatens people's health.
C.Asians are facing the most serious problem.
D.Farmers'living conditions are worse and worse.
30.Why did WHO study the effects of indoor air pollution on health?B
A.The pollution happened not only in Asian countries.
B.The indoor air pollution affects many lives.
C.The indoor air pollution is very serious in Asia.
D.The problem is difficult to solve.
31.Which of the following Asian countries is the least affected by the indoor air pollution?A
A.China.
B.Bangladesh.
C.Afghanistan.
D.Laos.
32.According to the passage,the best way to fight against the indoor air pollution is toD.
A.build  lot of chimneys  
B.choos the new stoves
C.improve the fuel efficiency 
D.turn to cleaner fuel.

10.From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud,before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they"know"all the words they are reading.This means that when they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
    One day soon after school had started,I said to them,"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that's enough for me.And I'm not going to ask you what words mean."
    The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking?One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,"Mr.Holt,do you really mean that?"I said just as seriously,"I mean every word of it."
    During the spring she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself,"It can't be,"and went to take a closer look.Sure enough,she was reading Moby Dick,in the edition with woodcuts.I said,"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?"She answered,"Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part."
    This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is---an exciting,joyous adventure.Find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it,go on to something else.How different is our mean-spirited,picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of"understanding"that can be dug out of a book.
41.According to the passage,children's fear and dislike of books may result fromD.
A.reading little and think little.
B.reading often and adventurously
C.being made to read too much   
D.being made to read aloud before others
42.Upon hearing the teacher's talk,the children probably felt thatC.
A.it sounded stupid             
B.it was not surprising at all
C.it sounded too good to be true   
D.it was no different from other teachers'talk
43.Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B.She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C.She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D.She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.
44.From the teacher's point of view,B.
A.children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading   
B.children should be left to decide what to read and how to read
C.reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school   
D.reading involves understanding every little piece of information.

7.One key study published in 2009in Occupational & Environmental Medicine analyzed data on 3,122men to see whether the leadership qualities of their managers were associated with a risk for fatal or nonfatal heart attack and death due to heart disease.
Anna Nyberg,the lead author of the study and a researcher at the Stress Research Institute at Stockholm University,says there's an important view from the research:"The longer you have worked at a workplace,the better or worse the situation becomes.So if you are working under a boss who stresses you in a destructive manner,and your possibilities or chances to change the situation are limited,you should try to change jobs as soon as possible."
Research also has linked the degree to which supervisors demonstrate fairness (such as giving timely back information,including praise,and showing trust and respect) to employees'blood pressure.A small 2003study published in Occupational & Environmental Medicine found that workers'blood pressure readings were significantly higher when they worked for supervisors they perceived unfavorably on such characters than when they worked for supervisors they viewed more favorably.
A more recent meta-analysis published in 2012in the Journal of Applied Psychology looked at 279studies to examine the associations between perceived unfairness and employee health; it found a link between unfairness and mental health complaints,such as depression,and physical troubles,such as sleep problems,high blood pressure and being overweight.
"One of the ways that bad bosses work is through splitting people,"O'Connor,a psychotherapist in New York,says."They play favorites and develop a network of informers,so that you don't trust anybody and you really do feel more isolated.You feel that there must be something wrong with me because everybody else seems to be getting along okay."
This produces a fight-or-flight response,which causes your body to begin to change a lot-just as it would if you were running from a tiger baring its teeth,Kelloway says.Your breathing quickens and your heart beats faster as your body prepares to spring into action.When this stress response goes on too long or occurs too often,it can cause damage on the body by promoting other physiological changes that can increase the risk of a-long-time disease.
32.According to Anna Nyberg,what can you do if you work under an extremely bad boss?C
A.Consult a psychologist.
B.Complain to people within the workplace.
C.Quit your job instantly.
D.Try to get used to the situation.
33.The underlined word"splitting"in Para 5is closest in meaning toD.
A.scolding       
B.persuading      
C.trusting     
D.separating
34.What does the author mainly talk about in the last paragraph?A
A.Why a bad boss can cause diseases.
B.Ways to reduces stress when faced with a bad boss.
C.The troubles of some a-long-time diseases.
D.How we can solve problems with bad bosses.
35.What might be the best title for the passage?D
A.How to avoid a bad boss?
B.Is your boss making you sick?
C.How to deal with a bad boss?
D.Are you working under a good boss?

14.Going to a friend's house is very exciting.You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives.So remember to be polite.
When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over,you need to arrive on time.If your friend tells you to come"around 3:00",that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00.But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
What to bring
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend's house.This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share,or maybe a movie that you can watch together.You can also bring some flowers.A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet
When you visit your friend's house,you may also meet his parents.You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names.As a child,I went to visit my friend Paul.I called his parents by their first names John and Mary.But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr.or Mrs.Smith.This will show them more respect and then they may tell you to call them by their first names.Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.
It is a cool thing to visit a friend's house.Be polite to your friend and your friend's parents,and you will be invited again!
