【題目】Here's a hotel worth writing something about: a company in Poland plans to build tourist accommodation under the sea. The structure can be dragged to a suitable location and placed on supports on the sea bed. The ‘Water Discus’ will be made up of an underwater disc containing 22 bedrooms with sea views, connected by lift and stairs to a disc above the surface containing other hotel facilities.

Project manager Robert Bursiewicz says: “Nowadays it's possible to build submarines ('潛艇) which go deeper than 500m below the sea surface, so building an underwater hotel is not a problem. ”

In fact, they don't plan to have the hotel very deep. Water acts like a filter (過濾器) for sunlight, and below 15m most colors, apart from blue, are washed out. And we all want to see colorful marine life, don't we?

But this isn't the first hotel to offer underwater views from the bedrooms. The two-bedroom Jules' Undersea Lodge, off the coast of Florida, has been taking in guests 10m beneath the surface since 1986.

The company that operates the hotel also runs a diving course for beginners to help get guests down and into the hotel. It is accessible only through an opening at the bottom.

And you'll find all the usual facilities in the room, according to Teresa McKirma, Jules's chief financial officer. It has a television, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. But for the staff, simple things like cleaning and making beds can be challenging, since the lodge is in sea water.

"It actually takes quite a lot of work to get anything down there," she says. "We have to put everything in waterproof boxes and attach weights to them to counter their buoyancy (浮力). "

The hotel has suitably sized waterproof boxes so that pizzas can be delivered by divers to guests who order them for their evening meal. And after a meal, if you can't sleep because of the excitement of the experience, you don't have to count sheep. You'll fall asleep quicker if you count fish.

【1】According to the passage, the new hotel will ______.

A. contain three discs B. come into use soon

C. have a movable structure D. be built 500m beneath the surface

【2】Why won't they plan to have the hotel very deep in the water?

A. They have financial problems.

B. They lack advanced technology.

C. They refuse to enjoy colorful life.

D. Most colors are washed out below 15m.

【3】 According to Teresa McKirma, ______.

A. entertainment is impossible in the hotel

B. the staff's work is difficult to finish

C. it's easy to get things down there

D. the built hotel is badly equipped

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Passengers can't enjoy their meals.

B. Passengers will feel fed up with the views.

C. Passengers have no choice but to count fish.

D. Passengers may get excited about the experience.

【題目】The naughty boy spends most of his time playing computer games ______ his lessons.

A. rather than study B. other than studying

C. rather than studying D. other than to study

Recently I have read an article in a magazine. It was about the mother who was worried about her son just because of he always kept his hair long. The mother thought that was not right, but the son felt there was nothing unusually about it. Different generations have different opinion on the same thing. That is what is meaning by "the generation gap". We can see them in our daily lives. Most of our parents like listening to old songs when young people prefer pop songs. Every time my father finds me listen to rock music, he always shouted, "Shut it off. It's awful!" How can we deal the generation gap?

【題目】It was a really ___________ experience. Afterwards everybody was very ___________.

A. terrifying; shocking B. terrified; shocking

C. terrified; shocked D. terrifying; shocked

【題目】 A group of frogs （青蛙）were traveling through the woods. And two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs didn't listen and tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what the other frogs were saying and gave up, so he died.

The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himself to die. He jumped even harder and finally made himself out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.

There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him or her up and help them make it through the day. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words—anyone can speak bad words that rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. But an encouraging word can go such a long way.

【題目】Until just a few years ago，we doctors believed that the brain stopped making new neural(神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的)connections (meaning that your memory began to get worse)when the body stopped developing，usually in your early 20s. And we knew that，like any other body part，neurons weaken as we age. Loss of brain function due to neural breakdown was assumed to be a normal，unavoidable part of aging.

It turns out that we were wrong. In the past few years，it has been discovered that you can，in fact，make new neurons starting in your 20s and continuing well into old age. You can literally rewire the brain with new parts as the older parts wear out. How？Simple：Keep learning. Just as your body can pack on and condition new muscle，your brain can rebuild used-up neurons.

How strong is the evidence for this？Strong enough that a $200 million industry devoted to brain boosting software (products like Brain Age，MindFit，and Lumosity that supposedly improve your memory function)has sprung up out of nowhere. All“mental fitness”means are keeping your memory intact(everything from phone numbers to how to throw a football)．So what can you do to stay smart?

Keep blood pressure down. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop cognitive impairment later in life.

Eat more vitamins. Like E(in nuts and sunflower seeds)，B6 and B12(beef，tuna)，and folic acid(leafy greens，citrus，berries)，which help keep your brain’s chemistry in balance.

Exercise your brain. This is the best way to rebuild and strengthen those precious neurons. Learn to play chess or the guitar. When you’re at a stoplight，try to recall the starting lineup of the 1983 Celtics. See a movie that doesn’t feature Ben Stiller. Or read，like，a book.

【題目】Be Your Own Best Friend

Why would you want to become your own best friend? There are a number of benefits of creating your own support system from within rather than relying on your partner, friends or family to be there for you when you’re suffering. We all have it in us to give ourselves what we need, without seeking it from outside. 【1】 Here’s how to become your own best friend.

1.Be nice to yourself

The first step in becoming a friend to yourself is to treat yourself like you would treat a friend. 【2】 Start by accepting your good qualities, talents and abilities and begin to appreciate yourself.

2. Imagine how you would support a friend in the same situation

Think about a loved one, a friend, a family member, or someone dear to you and imagine that they are in the same situation you are facing. 【3】 Then consider how to best offer help and advice to them. Allow yourself to feel supported, and give yourself what you need.

Write down the words that you would say to your greatest friend and then say them gently to yourself.

3. 【4】

Following the theme of considering how you would help a dear friend, you need to start taking your own advice and putting your own needs first. Do you need a day off from work? 【5】 Whatever it is that you need, allow yourself to put it at the top of the list rather than the bottom.

Use these methods to become your own best friend and start being there for yourself!

A. Honor your needs

B. Believe in yourself.

C. A long hot bath?

D. Help them first and then they will help you.

E. That means that you need to stop being doubtful of yourself.

F. Think about how they’re struggling, suffering with this problem.

G. Isn’t it far better to know how to support yourself in times of need?
