The train was forced to slow from 200 kilometers per hour to 120 km/h, a police officer with the Shenyang railway public security bureau told Xinhua News Agency.

The smoker, a 23-year-old from Dalian, was fined 200 yuan ($30) for violating regulations.

"Smoking is strictly forbidden on high-speed trains, even in the toilets, washing rooms and connecting areas between cars," Xinhua quoted the unidentified officer as saying. "Smoking can trigger fire alarms or even cause a fire on the train."

Violators may be subject to warnings, fines or administrative detention for disturbing order on public transport facilities, he said.

On Saturday, the first day of the Harbin-Dalian high-speed railway's operation, a passenger was found smoking on a train to Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, leading to a deceleration of the train, railway police said.

The next day, a passenger in his 20s smoked in a washroom on a train also heading for Harbin, triggering the fire alarm. His actions nearly resulted in an emergency braking, according to Zhao Yang, chief conductor on the train.

It is not uncommon for smokers to cause trouble on bullet trains.

On Jan 11, a bullet train traveling from Shenzhen to Changsha was forced to brake after a smoker activated the emergency braking system. The halt delayed more than 20 trains.

In December 2008, a passenger was given three days detention because his smoking caused a bullet train from Tianjin to Beijing to automatically brake just a minute after it had departed Tianjin Railway Station.

       It’s as important to live well as it is to study well, I think. I went to bed no later than 11:30 pm. It put me in the right mood for the next day. I didn’t follow a special diet (飲食), but I did make sure I ate a nutritious  breakfast each day.

D. Ju Shuntian, 18

       The person who plays well, studies well. Having a lot of schoolwork doesn’t mean having to give up on every other activity. I played basketball or took a walk to relax when I felt tired. Time out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.

下面同學各自感興趣的內(nèi)容或需要解決的問題，請配對他們最適合參加的討論組。

46. Zhang Xu is an active and energetic boy who enjoys many sports like swimming, football, badminton, cycling and jogging. He has a lot of friends at school and they often spend a lot of time on rivers, fields and mountains. Is it good to spend so little time in the library? How to allocate time between academic lectures and outing? That's his problem.

47．Xiao Lili has much difficulty m catching up with her classmates m chemistry and physics. But her superiority lies in music and English, so she is dreaming of becoming a professional singer. She hopes that her strong points can help pave her way to future success. "Can I go to a musical college without taking NMET?" she wonders.

48．Guo Jie is a hardworking boy but, unfortunately, he gets low marks in every test. He is always busy with his own study plan. When he didn’t finish his work the earlier day, he will bury his mind in his work to fulfill his plan, ignoring the teacher’s lectures. “How can I raise my marks?” he is puzzled.

49．Song Siwei is a slim and pretty girl, who works hard at all her lessons. But she was so absorbed in her studeies that she is even unwilling to tear herself off at meal times. She is always the last to leave the classroom and the first to arrive. She starts to feel dizzy and have headaches. “What might happen to me?” she wonders.

50．Zhang Lan is a charming girl who is active both in the classroom and on the sports field. She is kind to all her classmates.

Once again, rumors are spreading．Judgement Day, this time, is set to happen on December 21st, 2012．The date originated from the Mayan calendar, but actually gained popularity through the hit movie, "2012"．

How will the world end? And how do we know the exact date? There are many theories: A meteoroid from outer space; a solar storm; a shift in the earth's poles; bla bla bla．They all supposedly pointed to the date of December 21st, 2012．Unfortunately, none of it is true．

Zhu Jin, director of Beijing Planetarium, said, "For earth itself, the end will be billions of years away from now．And for us humans, there is a very small chance that we may be affected by some astronomical factors．However, we don't have the ability to foresee such events so far．So when someone tells you the world is going to end on an exact date, it must be fake．"

But the truth hasn't stopped people from believing．In the sci-fi movie "2012", the director imagined the end of the world based on the Mayan calendar．The film earned nearly 770 million US dollars worldwide. Ning Hong, Hebei Province, said．"The movie 2012 did get one thing right．There are arks  eing made in China, But they're not being built secretly inside the mountains．They are constructed here in

the courtyard of a factory．"

In April, Liu Qiyuan quit his furniture business and devoted himself to developing these huge round balls．He doesn't believe the end is near, but he wants to be prepared just in case．

Liu Qiyuan, the "Ark" builder, said, "The concept originated twenty years ago．The Tangshan earthquake had flattened our house, so I wanted to build a shelter that wouldn't fall．Then in 2004, I saw the tsunami in Indonesia that killed so many people．Then I realized it should be something that could withstand the earthquake and float on water．"

Liu is hoping to use his invention as a life boat on the sea．He's planning to test his product on the water next year．

It turns out that rumour, though false, is good for business．Doomsday discounts and products are hot on many online stores．While it's surely attracted attention, many complain that it misleads consumers．

Their purpose is to promote products．If they believe the world is going to end．who would buy things? Money would be useless, too．

41．The purpose of the movie "2012" was                 .

       A．to popularize scientific knowledge for the viewers

       B．to make a profit from the viewers

       C． to tell the viewers an interesting factual story

       D．to warn the viewers of a disastrous event

       A．a(chǎn) joke             B．a(chǎn) lie               C．untrue             D．terrifying

43．Liu Qiyuan quit his job and built his "ark" because _________．

       A．he believed that the world was going to end on Dec．21,2012

       B．he was tired of making money from his furniture business

       C．he was almost killed in Indonesia in 2004

       D．he wanted to make preparations for destructive natural disasters

44．Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

       A．Ruinous were created by businessmen to promote their products．

       B．The movie "2012" was very popular and a great many people watched it．

       C．One theory said that the earth was to shift its two poles on Dec．21,2012．

       D．Liu Qiyuan's ark was intended to survive earthquakes and terrible floods．

45．We can infer from the passage that _________．

       B．The Maya's prediction about the world's end has failed．

       C．In the movie 2012 big arks were built secretly inside the mountains

       D．Liu Qiyuan was bom before 1976 and is at least 36 years old．

Anger is good for you as long as you control it properly，according to new psychology research．A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier．

“Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger，”said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon．“The more people display anger，the lower their stress responses．’’

Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6，200．They must say out loud every thirteenth number．Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions．If they made any mistakes，they had to restart from the very beginning．Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry because the researchers were interrupting them.

Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test．The researchers describe their reactions as fear，anger and disgust．

Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure，pulse and production of a high—stress hormone（荷爾蒙）called cortis01．People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone．Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes（糖尿�。�，heart disease，depression and extra weight gain．

When people feel fear，negative impacts increase, but when they get angry，those negatives go down，according to the study．

 “Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening situation，”Lerner said．

Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 9／11 terrorist attacks two months after the incident．She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic．These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event．So in maddening situations，anger is not a bad thing to have．It’s a healthier response than fear．

36．Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?

       A．It’s better to be angry than to be frightened in maddening situations．

       B．Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life．

       C．Don’t control your anger and it makes you powerful．

       D．Pessimistic people are generally healthier than optimistic people．

37．What does the underlined word “both” in the fifth paragraph refer to according to the passage?

       A．Fear and anger．

       B．Blood pressure and pulse．

       C．Blood pressure and cortisone．

       D．Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone．

38．The researchers made the experimented students angry by _________．

       A．recording their performance secretly

       B．a(chǎn)sking them to count to 6,200 again and again

       C．disturbing them and making them start ail over again

       D．criticizing them when they made mistakes

39．In what ways can anger be beneficial to people?

       A．By showing their optimistic side．

       B．By reducing their stress．

       C．By reducing high blood pressure．

       D．By taking the place of fear．

40 What is this passage Mainly about?

       A．The findings of new psychology research．

       B．What you can do with anger in certain cases．

       C．Different effects produced by anger and fear．

       D．Healthier responses in maddening situations．

The day began with clear sunlight and blue skies．It soon turned into years of war, economic breakdown and political division. Ten years after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon（五角大樓）on September 11,2001, America has come out of the smoke a very different country．Nearly 3,000 people died on September 11．

Suddenly America had to wake up to the fact that not everyone loves the USS　　　　　　　　　 A．Members of al-Qaeda, the militant group that earned out the attacks, were angry about US support for the Israelis

against Palestinians in the Middle East, about US troops in Saudi Arabia, and about sanctions （制裁）

against Iraq．

"September 11 and the years that followed were a shock to our national consciousness," said Nicholas Bums, American ambassador to NATO （北約） at the time．The terrorists struck not only the buildings, but also Americans- faith in their power．The fear that America had lost control of events as widespread．

In the name of fighting terrorism, the US launched wars in Iraq and Afghanistan．More than 6,000 Americans have died．Tens of thousands of ordinary people in those countries have also lost their lives．

But deaths are only part of the story．The world was shocked by photographs of Americans torturing （折磨） Iraqis in Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad．David Goldstein, a reporter with The Kansas City Star, questioned American behavior: "Has torturing so-called terrorists saved American lives or made the values we advocate around the world weaker? …" Is that what we've become?"

However, a brief moment of national unity did occur straight after 9/11．"Americans were coming together in an unusually powerful way ．．．in the ashes．We live in a bittersweet memory of that collective tragedy and collective possibility," said filmmaker Ken Burns．

September 11 was that kind of common moment．When it was over, the Harth still turned in its usual way and the stars in the sky shone as before．But the universe had shifted somehow．

Though the world felt the consequence of September 11, more is to come．Ten years on, it still might be too soon to tell．

31．What is "al-Qaeda" in Paragraph 2?

　　　 A．It is the name of the leader of a militant group．

　　　 B．It is the name of a city in tie Middle East．

　　　 C．It is the name of an armed organization．

　　　 D．It is the name of a terrorist that carried out the 9/11 attacks．

32．Which statement is NOT true?

　　　 A．The US government gives supports to Israel but not to Palestine or Iraq．

B．There are American troops stationed in Satidi Arabia．

　　　 C．The 9/11 event brought die US people into unity for some time．

　　　 D．More than 6000 Americans have died since the 9/11 attacks．

33．What is robably the author's attitude towards America's military actions abroad?

　　　 A．It is necessary to sweep out all the terrorists around the world．

　　　 B．It is not very reasonable to launch wars in Iraq and Afghanistan．

　　　 C．It is quite right to apply military forces upon other nations．

　　　 D．The days of an eye for an eye should never be gone．

34．What can be inferred from the passage?

　　　 A．Some Americans are skeptical about America's armed behavior overseas．

　　　 B．Tens of thousands of common people were killed in the wars besides American soldiers．

　　　 C．The 9/11 attacks damaged Americans' faith in their military and economical power．

　　　 D．More attacks will happen to the US ten years later．

       STOCKHOLM, Oct．11 （Xinhua） -- Chinese writer Mo Yan has won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, announced Peter Englund, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday．

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 is awarded to Chinese writer Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary," said Englund at a press conference．

Mo Yan, a pseudonym for Guan Moye, was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in Shandong province in eastern China．His parents were farmers．

As a 12-year-old during the Cultural Revolution he left school to work, first in agriculture, later in a factory．In 1976 he joined the People's Liberation Army and during this time began to study literature and write．His first short story was published in a literary journal in 1981．

"In his writing, Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth．This is apparent in his novel Hong gaoliang jiazu （1987, in English Red Sorghum 1993）," said the academy in a statement of Mo's biography．

The book consists of five stories that unfold and interweave in Gaomi in several turbulent decades in the 20th century, with depictions of bandit culture, the Japanese occupation and the harsh conditions endured by poor farm workers, according to the biography．Red Sorghum was successfully filmed in 1987, directed by famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou．

Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition, the academy commented in the biographical statement．

In addition to his novels, Mo Yan has published many short stories and essays on various topics．In spite of his social criticism, he is seen in his homeland as one of the foremost contemporary authors, the statement added．

Dozens of his works have been translated into English, French and Japanese and many other languages．

Last year's literature prize went to Swedish poet Tomas Transtromer．

Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist who invented dynamite, established the Nobel Prizes in his will in 1895．The first awards were handed out six years later．
