When a friend approaches you in the heat of a moment, it can be hard to know what to say. There’ no blanket approach for every person through every crisis (危急), but a few guidelines could help you offer the best support.

Friends going through a crisis often just need someone to talk to and explore their feelings with, but the trick is to listen without sounding like you’re judging. Reorganize “why” questions, which can imply you’re questioning their judgment, but ‘how’ and ‘what’ questions, and ‘who’ and ‘when’ seem caring and sincere.

Open-ended questions that can’t be answered with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ will also help friends dig into their deepest feelings during a crisis. While your loved ones talk through their replies, practice active listening by focusing on their answers. After all, your friends probably just need someone to listen and prove them, rather than hearing you offer potentially unhelpful advice.

When you do respond，avoid telling friends in crisis how they “should” be feeling. “ ‘Should’ is not a valid term, saying it’s not OK for you to feel these societally ‘weak’ feelings,” says Michelle Kuchuk, director of training for Crisis Text Line. “If you’re only hearing ‘you should feel great’, you’re never going to speak again or get that weight off your chest if you think other people will judge you.”

On the other hand, tying those positive feelings to a specific action can feel more sincere. If friends hear “you’re so strong” without an example to back it up, they might never believe it. But if they’ve been explaining how hard it was to talk to someone else, praise them for taking that brave step.

Finally, it’s more important for a friend to know you’re there for support than stressing about saying the right thing during a crisis. Just be a friend and really listen to that person, not with your own agenda but “what is this person really going through?”

1．For several years，the art trade in London has known about the possible existence of the"treasure of the western cave"，dating from the 6th century BC．It was said to have been discovered"by farmers"in western Iran around 1992．Out of between 200and 600pieces，only a few have so far"surfaced"．The Iranians were very angry that they managed to seize only part of the collection and that the rest was taken abroad illegally．But now they may worry less．An academic paper has just produced convincing evidence that at least one piece is a fake （贗品）．
Fakes always exist in the world of antiquities（古物），but what is astonishing is how widespread they are now．A report from the Archaeological Institute of America concludes that no less than 80per cent of all"ancient"west African pieces on the market are fake．How can this"forgery（偽造） culture"boom？It is found that about 80per cent of the antiquities traded have no clear source．In other words，it is not known where they were found and therefore，even if they are real，they can tell us little about ancient history．
People in the trade say that the majority of these objects were found in"casual discoveries"．Shamefully，they know that this is not true．They advance the fiction because it suits their commercial purposes．The reality is that the objects come from robbery，not by local farmers"happening"on a few finds．The"treasure of the western cave"is a classic example of how faking works．
Faking is big business，and is of such a standard that even the greatest scholars may be fooled some of the time．The antiquities trade likes to play down not only the extent of robbery and faking，but also the overlap between the two．These latest reports let the cat out of the bag．But it is the overlap with robbed antiquities that is the most significant factor，which leads to the culture of forgery．
Collectors of antiquities need to be aware that they not only aid the robbery of potentially invaluable sites，but put themselves at the mercy of fakers as well…．

67．What do we probably know about the"treasure of the western cave"？C
A．It's slightly broken．
B．It's totally real．
C．It's partly fake．
D．It's fairly new．
68．What astonishes the author？A
A．The huge number of fakes．
B．The long history of fakes．
C．The influence of fakes．
D．The origin of fakes．
69．According to the passage，"forgery culture"mainly results fromD．
A．a(chǎn) belief in"casual discoveries"
B．high faking standards
C．a(chǎn)ntiquities without a clear source
D．close combination of robbery and faking
70．Which is probably the last sentence of the passage？D
A．This is the main source for robbery．
B．What shall be done to stop this trend？
C．Are collectors of antiquities aware of it？
D．They are being not just dishonest，but foolish．

2．Old Problem，New Approaches      While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life，global warning will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions（排放）peak．So even if emission were to begin to decrease today，we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate．Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation．
      When it comes to adaptation，it is important to understand that climate change is a process．We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard，but to a constantly shifting set of conditions．This is why in part at least，the US National Climate Assessment says that："there is no'one-size fit all'adaptation．"Nevertheless，there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost．
      Around the world，people are adapting in surprising ways，especially in some poor countries．Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades．Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster．His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries，schools，and health clinics，and are equipped with solar panels and other communication facilities．Rezwan is creating floating connectivity（連接） to replace flooded roads and highways．But he is also working at a far more fundamental level：his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season．
      Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken．Chewang Nophel lives in a mountainous region in India，where he is known as the Ice Man．The loss of glaciers（冰川） there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture．Without the glaciers，water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops．Norphel's inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter，when it was not needed．He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze，and was stored until the spring．His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation（灌溉） water．Having created nine such ice reserves．Nophel calculates that he has stored about 200，000m3 of water．Climate change is a continuing process，so Norphel's ice reserves will not last forever．Warming will overtake them．But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will，perhaps，be able to find other means of adapting．
      Increasing Earth's reflectiveness can cool the planet．In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses（which reflect light back to space） has changed the warming trend locally，and actually cooled the region．While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly，temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased．This example should act as an inspiration for all cities．By painting buildings white，cities may slow down the warming process．
      In Peru，local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice．The outcome is still far from clear．But the World Bank has included the project on its of"100 ideas to save the planet"．
      More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere．A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria．Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping．But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops．Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this--either by growing new produce，or by growing the same things differently．This is common sense，But some suggestions for adapting are not．When the polluting industries argue that we've lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt，it's a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual．
      Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways．But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution．After all，if we adapt in the way，we may avoid the need to change in so many others．

65．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies．A
A．a(chǎn)daptation is an ever-changing process
B．the cost of adaptation varies with time
C．global warming affects adaptation forms
D．a(chǎn)daptation to climate change is challenging
66．What is special with regard to Rezwan's project？C
A．The project receives government support．
B．Different organizations work with each other．
C．His organization makes the best of a bad situation．
D．The project connects flooded roads and highways．
67．What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming？A
A．Storing ice for future use．
B．Protecting the glaciers from melting．
C．Changing the irrigation time．
D．Postponing the melting of the glaciers．
68．What do we learn from the Peru example？D
A．White paint is usually safe for buildings．
B．The global warming tread cannot be stopped．
C．This country is heating up too quickly．
D．Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming．
69．According to the author，polluting industries shouldD．
A．a(chǎn)dapt to carbon pollution

19．The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named"Drive LAB"in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are．
   Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people，leading to them becoming more isolated（隔絕）and inactive．
   Led by Professor Phil Blythe，the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life．
   These include custom-made navigation（導航） tools，night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations．Phil Blythe explains："For many older people，particularly those living alone or in the country，driving is important for preserving their independence，giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others．"
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills．The result is that people stop driving before they really need to．"
   Dr Amy Guo，the leading researcher on the older driver study，explains，"The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key stress points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems．
"For example，most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly，we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined．We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that．
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions（解決方案） to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel．"
32．What is the purpose of the Drive LAB？C
A．To explore newmeans of transport．  B．To design new types of cars．
C．To find out older driver′s problems． D．To teach people traffic rules．
33．Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe？A
A．It keeps them independent．   B．It helps them save time．
C．It builds up their strength．    D．It cures their mental illnesses．
34．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers？B
A．Improve their driving skills．           B．Develop driver-assist technologies．
C．Provide tips on repairing their cars．D．Organize regular physical checkups．
35．What is the best title for the text？D
A．A New Model Electric Car          B．A Solution to Traffic Problems
C．Driving Services for Elders          D．Keeping Older Drivers on the Road．

Dear Tom，

I’m more than happier that you’re interested in Chinese culture. Now let me tell you something about a Dragon Boat Festival.

It’s a traditional Chinese festival falling in the 5th day of the 5th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It’s widely believed that the festival held in memory the great poet Qu Yuan，who lived in ancient times. Disappointed with the government，he drowned him in the Miluo River.

The festival is celebrated by boat racing, with the boats building in the shape of dragons. Competing teams row their boats forward to the drumbeat, race to reach the finishing end first. We also have the custom of eating zongzi, wrapped with bamboo leaf. It’s very popularly among Chinese people.

If you will want to know about other Chinese traditional festivals, just write to me.

Yours,

Li Hua
