【題目】 Despite the countless differences between people’s characters and careers, or their likes and their dislikes, it seems that we are all connected in this wonderful life by one thing: namely, seeking happiness.
Happiness means, naturally, different things to different people. For myself, happiness is synonymous(同義的)with horse riding, Cadbury’s Creme Eggs and spending time with my friends. Some people are at their happiest at home, while others find their happiness through travelling far-off foreign lands. Happiness can be as simple as a surprise bunch of fresh flowers or a really strong coffee, just when you need it most. Sometimes, happiness comes from spending time with loved ones; for others, it’s having a well-earned quiet night at home, with nothing but a comfortable bed for company.
Since it comes in so many shapes and sizes, it’s sometimes easy to take happiness for granted. It is especially true if it’s been “one of those days”. Maybe you overslept, missed the bus and had to walk to school in the rain, only to be told that you were late. Or perhaps, because of work, you had to cancel plans with friends, despite looking forward to seeing them for ages. Forgotten keys, delayed flights, an argument with your parents, illness or injury... all very frustrating, and understandably guaranteed to make you feel unhappy.
Luckily, there are a few simple, scientifically proven ways to make the glass seem half-full again. To start with, things like trying out cycling or walking instead of driving to work and listening to music are great moodboosters(情緒助推器). Volunteering and getting involved with a charity are two ways in which you can become happier through helping others. Last, but certainly not least, try hugging your way to happiness; it’s been suggested that we humans need a minimum(最少的)of five hugs a day. If you’ve been having a bad day, there’s nothing better than a good old bear-hug.
【1】What would be the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Happiness comes from different things.
B.Fresh flowers can give you a surprise.
C.Some people enjoy themselves at home.
D.It is pleasant to spend time with close friends.
【2】The underlined part “one of those days” may refer to a day when .
A.it is easy to be happy
B.you go to work on time
C.you have a coffee at home
D.you tend to be sad at your life
【3】To tell us that people are easy to take happiness for granted, the writer .
A.performs an experimentB.provides some examples
C.tells an interesting storyD.brings up some problems
【4】Where does the passage come from?
A.In a scientific report.B.In an advertisement.
C.In a guidebook.D.In a novel.

【題目】 Increasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors, by going online to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies (藥店).Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they lack health insurance. Or they may stay away because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, smoking, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past. But playing doctor can also be a deadly game.
Every day, more than six million Americas turn to the Internet for medical answers—most of them aren't nearly sceptical enough of what they find. A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet & American life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites. They shouldn't look up " headache," and the chances of finding reliable and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain, are only one in ten, reports an April 2005 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 are scored as "high quality.” Recent studies have found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the Internet.
The problem is that most people don't know the safe way to surf the Web. "They use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that's risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative (權(quán)威的),so it's hard to know if what you’re reading is reasonable or not,” says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.
【1】According to the text, an increasing number of Americans .
A.are suffering from mental disorders
B.turn to Internet pharmacies for help

A.They find medical devices easy to operate.
B.They prefer to be diagnosed online by doctors.
C.They are afraid to face the truth of their health.
D.They are afraid to misuse their health insurance.
【3】What can we learn according to the study of Brown Medical School?
A.More than 6 million Americans distrust doctors.
B.Only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profit.
C.About 1/10 of the websites surveyed are of high quality.
D.72% of health websites offer incomplete and faulty facts.
【4】Which of the following is the author's main argument?
A.It's cheap to self-treat your own illness.
B.It's embarrassing to discuss your bad habits.
C.It's reasonable to look up a medical website.
D.It's dangerous to be your own doctor.

Communication roadblocks are very common. They occur when two people talk in such a way that neither one feels understood.【1】However, there are several ways to help individuals overcome roadblocks.
Soften the startup. One of the skills to overcome communication roadblocks is to begin a conversation by starting with something positive, expressing appreciation and taking responsibility for thoughts and feelings.【2】For example, 'I want to stay more involved in making decisions about money' rather than 'You never include me in financial decisions. '
Make and receive repair attempts. Another important skill in overcoming communication roadblocks is learning to make and receive repair attempts. They are efforts to prevent an increasingly negative interaction from going any further.【3】This is important because when conflicts appear, we often experience stress that can affect our ability to think and reason, which can lead to communication roadblocks. Taking time away from the conflict to calm down can help us be more prepared to discuss the issue.
【4】Overcoming communication roadblocks requires each partner to take turns being the speaker and the listener so that each has a chance to express themselves effectively. The goal is not to solve a particular problem, but rather to have a safe and meaningful discussion and to understand each other's point of view, which may lead to more effective communication.
Dealing with communication roadblocks can take large amounts of mental, emotional, and physical energy. But learning and using a few simple skills can increase positive communication with others.【5】
A.Use effective speaking and listening skills.
B.Deal with roadblocks in communicating with partners.
C.Sometimes we can take a break or make efforts to calm the situation.
D.They are not good for effective communication and often deepen the conflicts.
E.The opportunities for personal and relationship growth are well worth the effort.
F.In addition, starting the message in the first person can promote positive communication.
G.Recognizing roadblocks and trying to communicate effectively help positive interactions.

【題目】 According to a recent investigation conducted by the Associated Press(美聯(lián)社), many Google services on both Android and iPhone devices store records of user location data, and the bad news is that they do it even if the users have turned off the Location History on devices.
Google replied to the study with the following statement, “There are a number of different ways that Google may use location to improve people’s experience, including Location History, Web and App Activity, and through device-level Location Services. We provide clear descriptions of these tools, and strong controls so people can turn them on or off, and delete their histories at any time.”
That isn’t true. Even with Location History paused, some Google apps automatically store time-stamped location data without asking. The Associated Press has used location data from an Android smartphone with Location History turned off to design a map of the movements of Princeton researcher Gunes Acar. The news agency was able to track his movements and identify visited locations, including his home address.
“The privacy issue affects some two billion users of devices that run Google’s Android operating software and hundreds of millions of worldwide iPhone users who rely on Google for maps or search.” continues the Associated Press. Jonathan Mayer, a Princeton researcher and former chief technologist with the FCC remarked that location history data should be deleted when the users switch off the Location History. “If you’re going to allow users to turn off something called Location History, then all the places where you keep location history should be turned off.” Mayer said, “That seems like a pretty straightforward position to have.”
【1】What is the Associated Press really concerned about?
A.Google fails to improve users’ experience.
B.Google is able to record users’ location history.
C.Users can’t prevent their location data from being recorded.
D.Users are not informed of how to delete their location history.
【2】How does the Associated Press prove that Google is lying?
A.By designing a map of Gunes Acar’s home.B.By tracking the movement of Gunes Acar.
C.By checking Google’s operating software.D.By comparing Google’s location history data.
【3】The purpose of writing the passage is to .
A.encourage the improvement of Google apps
B.warn the public of their over dependence on Google apps
C.raise public concern over privacy issue caused by Google apps
D.appreciate the Associated Press’s contributions to scientific research
【4】Which section of a newspaper is the text probably from?
A.Culture.B.Entertainment.C.Finance.D.Technology.
