21、How do people analyze and solve worry problems? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:
• Get the facts
Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wandering around in confusion. It’s not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. 【1】
When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 【2】 You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to argue. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.
•【3】
Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I am going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.
• Act on that decision.
【4】 How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry. 【5】 If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “It is so; it cannot be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.
A．Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.
B．But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.
C．There comes a time when you must decide and never look back!
D．Analyze the facts.
E．Accept what cannot be avoided.
F．This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.
G．Unless you take your action, all your fact-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.
22、When travelers think of an Adriatic cruise, scenes of Venice, Italy—its canals, bridges, piazzas, and stunning architecture—come to mind. It's one of the most popular cruise destinations in Europe. And for many, the sail-away from Venice, through its Giudecca Canal, is an awe-inspiring experience.
Venice may be known as La Serenissima, or "the most peaceful," which, however, isn't entirely accurate these days. Venetians have been increasingly concerned about the impact of tourism and the potential for an environmental disaster off its shoreline due to the number of cruise ships that enter and exit its lagoon(泻湖).
That's why earlier last month, Venice announced a new policy to forbid the transit(穿越) of cruise ships to the city via the Giudecca Canal. It's not that the city wants to shun the cruise industry altogether: It simply wants to force traffic further away from the landmarks along the shoreline. City officials say that most ships will now transit the Contorta Sant'Angelo Canal.
Additionally, the city is clamping down on the size of ships that can visit Venice, as well as the total number of ships that call on it on a daily basis. As of January 2014, Venice plans to reduce the visitations of larger ships (those that are 40,000 tons or heavier) by 20 percent. This effectively caps the number of ships that can enter per day to five. In November, ships heavier than 96,000 tons will not be allowed to enter Guidecca Canal at all.
How the city plans to carry out the new five-ships-per-day rule remains to be seen and have yet to be announced. Which ships will be allowed passage? Will it be first-come, first-served? However they proceed, cruise line executives want their passengers to know that Venice will remain a regular port of call—even if the transit to and from the city must evolve.
【1】Before last month, toursits left Venice by ship through ______.
A. the Giudecca Canal
B. La Serenissima
C. the Contorta Sant'Angelo Canal
D. the Adriatic Sea
【2】The new policy was issued in order to_____________.
A. stress the accuracy of Venice's fame for peace
B. reduce the damage to Venice's environment
C. depend less on the crusie industry
D. limit the number of tourists
【3】It can be learned from the passage that _____________.
A. People in Venice are complaining about the toursits' behaviors.
B. Venetians are often bothered by noise and pollution.
C. The city government has announced the concrete ways to carry out the new five-ships-per-day rule.
D. The new policy will not discourage the tourism from developing.
【4】What does the underlined phrase "clapming down on" mean?
A. limiting B. abandoning

23、 Many people believe that goldfish have a three-second memory. In fact, goldfish have very good memories for fish. They can be trained to react in many ways to certain colors of light and different kinds of music. Researchers have successfully taught goldfish to play fetch, push levers, and even play football.
Around a certain person the goldfish are very familiar with, they will often be much more active and even sometimes stop considering the person any kind of danger, even if that person sticks their hand in the water and tries to touch them. Around strangers, on the other hand, the goldfish will often hide. Blind goldfish also show this same type of behavior, except they react to the voice of their owner, similarly to how the non-blind goldfish react to the sight of their owner.
In one experiment, researchers even got the goldfish to learn that if they pushed a certain lever at a certain time of day, they would get food. If the lever was pushed any other time of day, nothing would happen. In very short order, these goldfish learned to only push the lever during the time of day it would produce food; the rest of the time, they took no notice of it.
In another experiment, researchers trained young goldfish to connect a certain sound with feeding time. They then released them into the sea. About half a year later, when the fish were fully grown, the researchers played the sound over a loudspeaker and the fish swam from wherever they were in the sea, back to where they were released. This has been suggested as a method to cut down the cost of raising fish. Teach them to come when they are young and then release them into the sea and lakes to grow to adulthood naturally. It' s better for the environment and less cruel to the fish (relatively speaking).
【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A.Blind goldfish can easily realize dangers.
B.Goldfish are able to recognize their owner.
C.Goldfish don’t like to be touched by strangers.
D.Blind goldfish have better hearing than non-blind ones.
【2】What does the first experiment mainly show?
A.Goldfish have a good sense of time. B.Goldfish are good at pushing levers.
C.Goldfish can play games with people. D.Goldfish like to be fed at a certain time.
【3】What can we learn from the second experiment?
A.Goldfish are fully grown within three months.
B.Goldfish prefer living in the sea to living in the lake.
C.Goldfish react quickly to the sound over loudspeakers.
D.Goldfish can remember things they were taught a long time ago.
【4】In which part of a magazine may the text appear?
A.Education. B.Environment. C.Sport. D.Science.
24、People with mentally taxing jobs, including lawyers and graphic designers, may end up having better memory in old age, research suggests.
A study of more than 1,000 Scottish 70-year-olds found that those who had had complex jobs scored better on memory and thinking tests.
One theory is that a more stimulating environment helps build up a “cognitive reserve” to help buffer the brain against age-related decline. The research was reported in Neurology.
The team, from Heriot-Watt University, in Edinburgh, is now planning more work to look at how lifestyle and work interact to affect memory loss. Those taking part in the study took tests designed to assess memory, processing speed and general thinking ability, as well as filling in a questionnaire about their working life.
The analysis showed that those whose jobs had required complex skills in dealing with data or people, such as management and teaching, had better scores on memory and thinking tests than those who had done less mentally intense jobs such as factory workers, bookbinders, or carpet layers.
While the study did not look at biological reasons for the protective effect of certain jobs, potential explanations include that structural changes within the brain mean less damage is accumulated over time.
Study leader Dr Alan Gow said: “Our findings have helped to identify the kinds of job demands that preserve memory and thinking later on.” “However,” He added, “while it is true that people who have higher cognitive abilities are more likely to get more complex jobs, there still seems to be a small advantage gained from these complex jobs for later thinking skills.”
Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at Alzheimer’s Research UK, said the study added to the growing evidence about factors that affected brain health as we aged.
“Keeping the brain active throughout life could be helpful and different types of work may play a role. However, it’s important to note that this study points to a small and subtle association between occupation and later-life cognition rather than offering proof that people’s occupation has a direct influence.”
【1】 According to the research, who may have the best memory in old age?
A. Taxi drivers. B. Computer programmers.
C. Supermarket cashiers. D. Motor mechanics.
【2】 Which of the following about the research work is TRUE?
A. The research team studied both environmental and biological factors.
B. The researchers filled in a questionnaire about their working life.
C. The research objects included people from various jobs and of different ages.
D. The research is helpful to the study of brain health and is still under way.
【3】 What Dr Alan Gow said implies that __________.
A. their findings are helpful to identifying the kinds of job demands
B. people who do more complex jobs may benefit later thinking skills greatly
C. there exist links between job demands and preservation of memory
D. he didn’t confirm the links between complex jobs and later thinking skills
【4】We can learn from Dr Simon Ridley that __________.
A. different occupations may make a difference in keeping the brain active
B. people’s occupation has a direct influence on later-life cognition
C. the study added more evidence about the factors affecting aging
D. the study denied the association between jobs and later-life memory
【5】 What is the best title of the passage？
A. Aging affects brain health
B. Complex jobs may protect memory
C. Occupations influence aging
D. Complex jobs demand complex skills
