  Most,if not all,Chinese are financially better off thanks to over 30 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?

  Various surveys and rankings attempt to answer this question.

  Though sociologists have presented varying percentages based on different criteria,their answers tend to find we are generally happier,and the number of optimists rises each year.

  But each survey reveals a worrisome fact that a sizable portion,10 percent at the lowest,of respondents were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future.

  We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.

  Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury for many of our compatriots because of poverty,we agree financial wellbeing is not the sole determinant of happiness.

  For most of us,except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists,there simply are too many variables that may kill the feeling of happiness.

  These include,but are not limited to,rising housing prices,tight and instable job market,backbreaking schooling expenses and medical bills. 

  The most common one,however,is a low sense of security.

  An eyecatching characteristic of our economy is its high savings rate,at 46 percent now.

  Explaining the rise in savings and drop in spending in their city,Beijing municipal statisticians pointed that in the low-and-middle-income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment,income,housing,medical situations,and education.

  How can you feel happy when you always have to brace ( = prepare) yourself for the unexpected?

  It may be beyond the government's reach,to guarantee higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.

  There was an inclusive '* safety network" when the government encouraged officials to leave public offices in 1980s in attempts to downsize public service. The idea was to offer officials secure pay and benefits so they would not have to worry about guarantees after their departure from positions of power.

  It is time the government displayed similar creativity and resolve to address a much larger sense of uncertainty.

 There is an old proverb with a lot of wisdom. It 1      , " The tongue has the power of life and death,and whoever 2        it will eat its fruit."

  It is true. What we say has the ability to 3        emotions and thoughts in others. A kind word helps people,and negative words 4        people―sometimes for a very long time.

  Most of the time we 5        this concept in relation to how we treat others and that is good. 6       here I want to talk about this concept in relation to ourselves. How does what we say affect us? 7       . There is a simple principle here. Only say things that will create in you 8        emotions,thoughts,feelings,and finally,actions. Let me give you a good 9       . We should not allow the words " I can't" in our 10       . Why? Because we can!The very minimum is "I'll try".

  Have you ever been about to 11        the soccer ball towards the goal and said to yourself, "I am going to fail this one"? What happens? You fail it. This 12       happens to me. So what do I do? I pause for a(n) 13      ,reset myself,and tell myself I am going to kick it straight down. What happens? About half the time I kick it 14       ,and the other half,I fail it. But at the very least I increase my 15        of performing better. Bad thoughts almost guarantee failure,16       good thoughts increase success.

  Some of us aren't even 17        that we talk negatively to ourselves. Take some time today to think about what you say to yourself. If you 18        yourself saying negative things,it is time to change!Find some simple phrases that will help you 19        the day with more success. Whatever your situation or work is,I am sure there are 20        things you can say that will build you up and put you on the road to success！

  The tomato is the world's most popular fruit. And yes,just like the eggplant and the pumpkin,botanically speaking it is a fruit,not a vegetable. More than 60 million tons of tomatoes are produced per year,16 million tons more than the second most popular fruit,the banana. Apples are the third most popular (36 million tons) ，then oranges (34 million tons) and watermelons (22 million tons) .

  Tomatoes were first cultivated in 700 AD by Aztecs and Incas. Explorers returning from Mexico introduced the tomato into Europe,where it was first mentioned in 1556. The French called it "the apple of love"，the Germans "the apple of paradise".

  Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C and fibre,and are cholesterol (膽固醇) free. An average size tomato (148 gram,or 5 oz = ounce) boasts only 35 calories. Furthermore,new medical research suggests that the consumption of lycopene―the stuff that makes tomatoes red―may prevent cancer. As with essential amino acids (氨基酸) ，they are not produced by the human body. Lycopene is the most powerful part in the carotenoid (類胡蘿卜素) family and,with vitamins C and E,protect us from the free radicals that degrade many parts of the body.

  The scientific term for the common tomato is lycopersicon lycopersicum,which mean "wolf peach". It is a cousin of the eggplant,red pepper,ground cherry,and potato,also known as the nightshade (顛茄) or solanaccae. There are more than 10 ,000 varieties of tomatoes.

  Tomatoes are used in many food product,including,of course,tomato sauce (ketchup) ，pasta and pizza. According to a Steel Packing Council survey of 1997,68% of chefs use canned tomatoes for convenience,quality and flavouring.

 No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression―not the wrong one―from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are seven tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job：

1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day,find out if your new job has a dress code. If so,be sure to follow it. No matter what,always be neat and clean.

2. Get to work on time. Employers value employees who come to work right on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.

3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to coworkers. These coworkers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.

4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your job duties,ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.

5. Do not take too long for lunch. What is the lunchhour policy at your new job? You can find out from your supervisor or your company's personnel department. For example,do people eat at their desks or does everyone take a full hour outside the workplace?

6. Do not make personal phone calls. You should never make personal phone calls to your friends and family unless it is an emergency.

7. Never be the first one to leave. Observe how your coworkers behave around quitting time. It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.

  The sound of Martha's voice on the other end of the telephone always brought a smile to Pastor (牧師) Jim's face. This time,1       ，there seemed to be an unusual tone. He decided to 2        her. When he got to her room,Martha,sick in bed,shared the 3        that her doctor had just told her.

  Teenagers and young adults who see more alcohol advertising are also likely to drink more,according to a study that makes the strongest link yet between alcohol advertisements and youth drinking.

  The findings from the United States challenge the claim by alcohol manufacturers that advertising does not influence the amount that young people drink,but merely encourages them to switch brand (change to drink another kind of alcohol) .

  In a study at the University of Connecticut,scientists interviewed more than 4 ,000 Americans aged between 15 and 26 about their drinking habits and viewing of advertisements. They found that each additional alcohol advertisement seen each month was connected with a 1 percent increase in the average number of alcohol drinking.

  Leslie Snyder,who led the study,said, "The results ... deny claims that advertising is unrelated to youth drinking amounts,that advertising at best causes brand switching,only affects those older than the legal drinking age,or is effectively objected against by current educational efforts."

  "Alcohol advertising was a contributing factor to youth drinking quantities over time." Young people drank 3 percent more alcohol per month for each additional dollar spent per person in each of the markets studied.

  David Jernigan,of the Centre on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Georgetown University,Washington D C. wrote in an editorial that the research cast doubt on the alcohol industry's central claims about advertising.

  "The fact that young people were more likely to drink more over time in environments with more alcohol advertising,even when controlling for alcohol sales in those environments,suggests that it is alcohol advertising that contributes to the drinking," he said.

  "These and other findings pointed to alcohol advertising ' as an important area for trying to reduce underage drinking and its tragic consequences' ”he added.

(   ) 5. Which is NOT included in the claims by alcohol manufacturers?

   A. Alcohol advertising only encourages people to change brand.

   B. Alcohol advertising was the main cause leading to youth drinking quantities all the time.

   C. Alcohol advertising does not influence the amount that young people drink.

   D. Alcohol advertising affects those older than the legal drinking age.

(   ) 6. The underlined phrase "cast doubt on" means         .

   A. criticize   B. disagree with

   C. question   D. make comments on

(   ) 7. According to the passage,which of the following is NOT right?

   A. In environments with more alcohol advertising young people will drink more alcohol.

   B. The result of the study indicates that we should try to reduce alcohol advertising.

   C. If we reduced advertising,we would reduce some bad effects from drinking.

   D. The alcohol advertising just has influence on the older people.

(   ) 8. What's the best title of the passage?

   A. Alcohol Advertising's Influence on People

   B. Alcohol Advertisements Do Make Teens Drink More

   C. The Study of Alcohol Advertising

   D. Current Educational Effort is Fighting against the Alcohol Advertising

   The farm economy of the United States has changed a lot in the last seventy years. In the nineteen thirties,twentyfive percent of the nation's population lived on farms. Today less than one percent of Americans do.

  Farm incomes have changed over the years too. For example,in nineteen thirtythree,people living and working on farms had much less money to spend than other Americans. At that time,farm families had about onethird the income of nonfarmers after all necessary expenses had been paid. By the late nineteen seventies,however,that difference had almost disappeared.

  In two thousand four,farmers had their best year ever. The United States Department of Agriculture says the average farm family earned about eightyone thousand dollars. That is more than the average American family,which earned about sixty thousand dollars.

  Yet these numbers do not completely explain the situation for all farmers. Those who have small farms often take other jobs to earn extra income. And farm earnings for large farms grew faster than for small ones.

  The Department of Labor measures the pay of industrial workers differently. It measures the average hourly and weekly pay for industrial workers. This is because factory workers are generally paid by the hour unlike farmers who earn income from their farm businesses.

  The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the average hourly pay for all private industrial workers is about sixteen dollars. The   B. L. S. says average weekly pay for all industrial workers is about five hundred fifty dollars. But that is an average. Workers can earn as much as twice the average or as little as half of it depending on the industry in which they work.

  Industrial workers are about twentythree percent of the labor force. But that number has been decreasing. Most Americans have jobs that provide services. Professional,technical and other services employ about seventysix percent of the labor force.

(   ) 1. What is the topic discussed in the passage?

   B. Pay for farmers compared with that of industrial workers.

   C. The living conditions for farmers and workers in America.

   D. How to measure the income of the American farmers.

(   ) 2. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

   A. There is no difference between farmers' pay and that of workers.

   B. Farmers used to have less incomes than workers.

   C. Farmers' incomes have changed a lot.

   D. Farmers and workers are equal in society.

(   ) 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

   A. Farmers in America can live better than the workers in cities.

   B. The farmers are less in America because they can earn more outside.

   C. Farmers sometimes can earn more than the average income in US.

   D. It is hard to know the incomes of the farmers.

(   ) 4. We can infer from the passage that         .

   A. farmers' incomes will increase a lot

   B. it is hard to compare farm pay with industrial pay

   C. the number of industrial workers is decreasing

   D. every worker in America can earn about 550 dollars a week

 I should say I owe my success to my mother. My 1       began when I was just a kid. I 2       becoming a doctor.

  My mother was a servant. Through her work,she observed that 3        people spent a lot more time reading than they 4        watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three 5        TV programs during the week. In our free time,we had to read two books from the Detroit Public Library and 6        written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 7 because my mother was uneducated.

  When I entered high school I was a (n) 8      ,but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes and I wanted to 9        the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home after 10        her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, "Okay,I'll give you all the money I 11        this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms,and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything 12       ,you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want." I was very 13        with that arrangement but once I got through allocating (分配) money,there was 14        left.

  I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a 15       over our heads and any kind of food on the table,16       buy clothes. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my 17        and became an A-student again,and eventually I 18        my dream and I became a doctor.

  My mother is a woman with 19        formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children. There is no job more 20        than parenting.

   Warmer sea temperatures could worsen the widespread destruction of coral reefs that hit the Caribbean in 2005,scientists fear.

  In the waters around the US Virgin Islands,as much as 40 percent of coral died in some reefs last year,and the coral that survived probably isn't healthy enough to survive another hot summer,said Caroline Rogers,a US Geological Survey biologist.

Reefs are vital habitat for fish,lobsters and other sea life that feed and breed in the sheltered waters. The reefs also change storm waves that might otherwise wash away the beaches that are at the heart of the region's multibilliondollar tourism industry.

  "You don't know how scary it looks down there," said Zandy Starr,who monitors coral and sea turtles in St. Croix's national parks. "All of us thought that by now,with all the cooler temperatures in January and February,we would have seen recovery,but they're still sick."

  Glassy,calm seas have permitted coralkilling ultraviolet (紫外線的) rays to access to the ocean floor,warming water temperatures and making the fragile (易碎的) undersea life more sensitive to disease,Starr said.

Scientists haven't pinpointed (準(zhǔn)確地說出) what caused coral to become sick or led to the warm water,which stresses coral and makes it more susceptible (敏感的) to disease. They can't say whether global warming is a factor.

  "We don't really have the data. You need a record over decades. There's a lot of research that needs to happen”，said Alberto Sabat,a biology professor at the University of Puerto Rico.

But the trend of warmer waters isn't limited to the Caribbean. The National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration said waters were warmer than usual in the South Pacific,mid-Atlantic and Indian Ocean in mid-April.

  Rogers said coral grew far better after hurricanes that devastated (摧毀) the US Virgin Islands in 1989 and 1995 because the storms cooled the sea,allowing reefs to recover relatively quickly from damage.

Rising temperatures appear to be "something new that the corals aren't used to," said Tyler Smith,a marine researcher at the University of the Virgin Islands.

The scientists worry that the problem is being overlooked,

  "People just don't know that much about coral because it's underwater. If 40 percent of the trees ill one of our national parks died,people would take notice”，Rogers said.
