I’ve often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.
My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.
The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.
From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.
Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.
1.The writer went to Iceland to ______.
A. enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergs
B. take photos about the region for a book
C. collect materials for psychological research
D. challenge the high mountains there
2.During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ______.
A. they got lost in the mountain
B. they were short of food and fuel
C. they couldn’t see the surroundings clearly
D. they failed to get in touch with the rescue team
3.From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ______.
A. were in despair before they were rescued
B. stayed in the hut for three days altogether
C. got sick because of going for ski outside
D. got rescued immediately the weather turned fine
4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.
B. In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.
C. The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.

A recent study, published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how risky(冒險的) it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a deadly accident as a teenager driving alone, while the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.
The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased sharply after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.
Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue,” he says, “is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is.”
Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (使……緩解)the problem is to have states set up so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a multistage process. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night or passenger limits, before graduating to full driving licenses.
Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have limits on passengers. California is the strictest, with a new driver under 20 forbidden to carry any passenger (without the presence of an adult over 25) for the first six months.
1.Which of the following situations can we infer is most dangerous according to the passage?
A.A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.
B.Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.
C.Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.
D.A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.
2.According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly because of _______.
A.their frequent driving at night
B.their improper ways of driving
C.their driving with passengers
D.their lack of driving experience
3.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The licensing departments are partly responsible for teenagers' driving accidents.
B.Driving is too complex a skill for teenagers to learn.
C.Teenagers should be forbidden to apply to take driving lessons.
D.Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.
4.A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers' driving accidents is that_______.
A.driving in the presence of an adult should be made a rule
B.the licensing system should be improved
C.they should not be allowed to drive after 10 p.m.
D.they should be forbidden to take on passengers

How to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents.
____1.____ A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world.

Act calmly, cool off, journal about your feelings, or talk to a friend. ____2.____

Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.____ 3.____ Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?

Someday a stranger will read your e?mail without your permission or scan the websites you've visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it's likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a policeman or a criminal. Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen—the 21st century equal to being caught naked(裸露的).
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though it's important to reveal(透露) yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. Actually few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (面包屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are,where you are and what you like. In some cases,a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no”.
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me”.
But people say one thing and do another. Only a small part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收費亭)to avoid using the EZ?Pass system that can track(跟蹤) automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will submit personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50?cents?off coupon(優(yōu)惠券).
But privacy does matter at least sometimes. It's like health:when you have it,you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.
1.From Paragraph 2,we can infer________.
A.criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology
B.people tend to be more frank with each other in the information age
C.in the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets
D.people's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge
2.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A.There should be a distance even between friends.
B.There should be fewer quarrels between friends.
C.Friends should always be faithful to each other.
D.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
3.According to the passage,privacy is like health in that________.
A.its importance is rarely understood
B.it is something that can easily be lost
C.people will make every effort to keep it
D.people don't treasure it until they lose it
