A couple of years ago, a minister(牧師) in an American church got fed up with listening to the people in his church complaining. They were complaining about little   36 : the service(禮拜儀式) was too long, the service was too short; they didn’t like the choice of   37    they had to sing in church. He felt all this complaining was   38   everyone feel negative. So, he   39    to do something about it.

    He gave the people in his church a(n)  40  : try to stop complaining for 21   41  .And not just about the church, about everything! He   42    gave each person in the church a purple bracelet(手鐲) to wear on their wrists. The bracelet was to   43    them not to complain.  44   , after three weeks of not complaining, people said they felt happier. They  45    that the less they complained, the happier their lives became.

Complaining seems to be part of our human nature. Life,  46  , is full of difficulties. It is   47   to feel disappointed, irritated and unhappy at times. The real problem,  48  , comes when we take those negative inner feeelings and   49  them out loud. Somehow, it makes everything   50  . The more we complain, the worse we feel; the worse we feel, the more we complain. And it   51  everyone around us, too. It can become a virus of negativity.

Doctors say that complaining is aslo  52  for your health. They say that people who aren’t complainers are healthier, happier, have more friends and are more successful than people who complain all the time. So,  53   something ticks you off, like a rainy day or a bad meal, try  54  your tongue instead of complaining. It will be your contribution to   55   a world without complaints.

The world record for fastest text message typing is held by a 21-year-old college student from Utah, but his flexible fingers could mean serious injury later on. Most adults aged 18-21 prefer texting over e-mail or phone calls, and ergonomics(人體工程學(xué)) researchers are starting to wonder whether it’s putting the younger generation at risk for some overuse injuries – once reserved for older adults who have spent years in front of a computer. Judith Gold, an assistant professor of Epidemiology at the College of Health Professions and Social Work, thinks this might be the case. At this year’s annual meeting of the American Public Health Association, she presented previous research which suggested that among college students, the more they texted, the more pain they had in their neck and shoulders.

   “What we’ve seen so far is very similar to what we see with office workers who’ve spent most of their time at a computer,” said Gold, who directs the Ergonomics and Work Physiology Laboratory. “The way the body is positioned for texting – stationary（不動(dòng)的）shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers – is similar to the position for typing on a computer.”

Text messaging is a fairly new technology, Gold says, so this is a new area of research among ergonomists. “But given the similarities in body position, findings from research on overuse injuries from computers could be applied here,” she said.

  Current studies on computer use show office workers have the tendency to get involved in such diseases as tunnel syndrome, bursitis, and tendonitis.

  In Gold’s lab, she and her team use tools like special cameras, motion analysis and heart rate monitors to study the body’s position in several job-related situations. But given the popularity of text messaging among young adults, Gold wants to explore further into the physiological effects of this latest form of communication.

  “Looking around our campus, you see every student on their cell phones, typing away,” she said. “It’s the age group that texts the most, so it’s important to know what the health effects may be in order to learn whether it will cause long term damage.”

64. Which of the following are ergonomics researchers not sure about?

   A. A 21-year-old college student holds the world record for fastest text message typing.

   B. Most adults aged 18-21 prefer texting over e-mail or phone calls.

   C. Overuse of computer will cause injuries to health.

   D. Over text message will cause long term damage to health.

65. Current studies on computer use will lead people to believe that ______.

   A. office workers are good at texting messages

   B. office workers tend to suffer from some kinds of physical problems

   C. texting messages seriously damage people’s health

   D. e-mails and phone calls will be forbidden

66. When texting messages, college students will ______.

   A. keep moving shoulders and back

   B. move fingers very fast with shoulders and back still

   C. spend most of their time at a computer

   D. look around their campus

67. The most suitable title of this passage may be ______.

   A. Over text messaging could cause shoulder and neck pain

   B. Overuse of computers could cause diseases

   C. A new world record for fastest text message typing

   D. A new scientific discovery by ergonomics researchers

第二節(jié)  信息匹配（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

以下是一些新聞報(bào)道的信息：

A. Science magazine published the study about orangutans. The scientists collected evidence from years of observations in six areas on Borneo and Sumatra. The scientists found that the animals demonstrated a total of twenty-four signs of cultural activity. Several actions were demonstrated in some orangutan groups, but not others.

B. The Environmental Investigation Agency and Telapak released the report. Telapak is an environmental group based in Indonesia. The Environmental Investigation Agency operates in several countries. The two groups say Indonesia controls ten percent of the world's tropical rainforests.

C. Richard Sandor is the chairman of the C-C-X. He praised the companies forming the group for demonstrating leadership. He said they believe that an active way to deal with global warning helps everyone. The group said its members want to reduce costs they may face from future rules on greenhouse gas emissions. Trading credits may help businesses find the most effective methods to reduce pollution. Members also hope to improve their public image on environmental issues.

D. Their most detailed effort involved ninety-nine kinds of birds, insects and plants in North America and Europe. They found that the territory where these plants and animals live has moved north by an average of six kilometers every ten years. In Europe, some butterflies now live as much as one hundred kilometers to the north because of changes linked to higher temperatures.

E. The new report says many areas experienced unusual weather in two thousand and two. Most of Asia, for example, was warmer than usual. India had unusually high temperatures in April and May. The extremely hot weather caused hundreds of deaths. There also were extremely dry conditions across India. Parts of Africa experienced unusual heavy rains. Yet other areas in Africa had unusual dry weather.

F. Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. Hydrogen is a colorless gas. On Earth, it is present in large amounts in natural gas, coal, plants and water. By weight, hydrogen produces the highest energy levels of any known fuel. When burned in an engine, hydrogen releases no harmful pollution into the environment. When powering a fuel cell, the only waste is water. However, hydrogen is difficult to store. It also burns easily.

51. A severe ocean storm hit South Korea in August. It set a new national record for rainfall. In central Europe, more than one hundred people died in flooding caused by heavy rainfall in September. The flooding also resulted in thousands of millions of dollars in property damage. Yet large parts of North and South America had extremely dry weather.

52. One member of the Chicago Climate Exchange is American Electric Power. It's the biggest owner of electric power producers in the United States. Company officials say they hope their company's membership will demonstrate the ability of the C-C-X to grow.

53. For example, members of some groups make a kissing noise by tightening their mouths and sucking in air. Some groups use leaves to clean themselves or protect their hands from sharp objects. The scientists found that some of the animals use sticks as tools to remove insects from holes in trees. Other orangutans use leaves to crush insects or gather water.  

54. Professors Parmesan and Yohe used similar methods to examine one hundred and seventy-two kinds of wildlife. They examined the timing of events in the spring, such as the appearance of flowers and the reproduction of animals. They found that these events happened an average of two days earlier than normal every ten years.

55. They say illegal operations to remove trees are causing large areas of forest to disappear. Environmental Investigation Agency director Dave Currey says the illegal operations are completely out of control.
