26、 Green living has become more important than ever and as time goes by,it will only become a more important issue.While it used to roe a matter of making an extra effort to save energy and reduce waste in our homes,this has extended to the professional side of things since.Public buildings,such as schools,hospitals and offices,are under an increasing amount of pressure to make the change and go green,even if it's just a step-by-step process that takes a few years to complete.
There are plenty of reasons for offices to go green and these reasons go beyond the concept that it should be done just for the sake of the environment.While the environment is unbelievable important and vital to our survival and quality of life,sustainable（可持续的）office design can also have positive impacts upon employees and people using the building.
For example,a report carried out last September revealed that the way an office is designed can significantly impact on the health of the staff there.It was also found to have an effect on productivity and could be a contributory（起作用的）factor to the amount of sick leave and staff turnaround within the business.It's fascinating to think that people can be so sensitive to their environments but it also makes a lot of sense.Even the choice of colour in your office can negatively or positively affect the people working there.
Based on this study,it is clear that companies should be making more efforts to improve on the office design while making sure the environment is sustainable and green.There are various little changes that can be made to lead to something bigger,from making sure the lights are turned off at night to recycling the paper your company gets through on a weekly basis.Once these changes are in place,you can start looking at the bigger picture and begin complete changes to design and construction,like having wood fibre insulation（绝缘）fitted.
Along with other sustainable features,insulation can be beneficial in various ways.Not only will an insulated office space be environmentally sound by helping you to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer,reducing the reliance on the thermostat（恒温器）and central heating and saving money,but it can also be an effective form of sound absorption.The study revealed that noise is a contributory factor to productivity problems,and if you work in a particularly busy area,then noise can become a real issue.The aim is to create an environment that is comfortable and calm enough for people to concentrate and work productively.Soundproof walls are an effective and environmentally friendly solution.
【1】What is the author's argument in the passage?
A.Green living can help to save energy.
B.Public building should go green.
C.Green living still has a long way to go.
D.It is important to lead a green life.
【2】The author mentioned the report carried out last year for the purpose of .

C.improving the productivity of office workers.
D.proving the benefits of green office design

A.Allow enough sick leave to their employees.
B.Paint all the walls of their offices green.
C.Make some improvements to their office design.
D.Make their staff more productive than before.

A.the benefits of insulation to offices

27、 If you’ve ever tried to have a regular movie night with your family, you know that choosing a movie everyone will like can be a difficult task. The kids may be interested in the latest cartoons, while Mom would prefer a love story, and Dad has his eye on something on war. 【1】Just when it seems like most are happy with the selection, one member of the family may disagree, and then the whole process starts all over again.
In these situations, you can try the “pick system ”, which works well for some families. The pick system is surprisingly simple and useful. It works like this: each member of the family gets one pick.【2】 The only rule is that, if it isn’t your pick, you must sit through the movie that is showing, without expressing strong dissatisfaction. 【3】 And you know that the rest of the family will have to watch it with you.
【4】 However, it is a proven method that avoids all the arguing (争论). If you have kids, it’ll teach them a lesson in consideration and patience. Using the pick system, you’ll find that your kids will start choosing movies that they think will be crowd-pleasers. The reason why this happens is very simple. Imagine it’s your pick, and you choose a movie everyone in the family ends up loving.【5】These words of praise are powerful positive reinforcements (强化) — it feels great when the people we love tell us that we did a good job.
A. The system may sound a bit silly.
B. One member of the family gets to choose the movie.
C. They’ll praise you for having made such a great choice.
D. In other words, everyone takes turns to choose the movie.
E. Then, the family may spend time arguing about which movie to watch.
F. When it’s your pick, you have the right to choose whatever movie you want.
G. If that system doesn’t work, the family may give up on movie night altogether
28、 It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious(明显的) to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don't worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.
Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn't really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King's famous speech---"I have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.
People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流). They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker's ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker's attractiveness by making him more human.
As you work on your speech, don't worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
【1】The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ______.
A.be smarter than you B.notice your mistakes
C.do better than you D.know what you are talking about
【2】You don't remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ______.
A.your attention is on the content
B.you don't fully understand the speech
C.you don't know what the speaker plans to say
D.you find the way of speech-making more important
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A.giving a speech is like giving a performance
B.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
C.the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D.the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.How to Be a Perfect Speaker B.How to Make a Perfect Speech
C.Don't Expect a Perfect Speech D.Don't Expect Mistakes in a Speech
29、 If you've ever wondered what the process of becoming an astronaut is like, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (KSCVC) now has an experience that puts visitors in the shoes of a space explorer in training. The center's Astronaut Training Experience (ATE), features four simulations (模拟). They all require teamwork and good communication.
Dee Maynard, manager of education programs at KSCVC, said the experience was designed to keep visitors involved the whole time. 'When we were designing this, one of our concerns was that we wanted to be having an experience and not waiting around, ' Maynard said. 'Also, astronaut training is very much a team effort. '
Although astronauts go through thousands of hours of training before taking off for space, this training does include some parts that are similar to those of real NASA training.
One simulation helps visitors learn what it takes to launch NASA's Space Launch System rocket. Six people step into the role of launch control and communicate with six others on the Orion capsule.
Visitors take turns reading and passing instructions and sets of data from both sides. In mission control (地面指挥中心), they can step into roles including flight director and spacecraft systems officer. Inside the capsule, people try their hand at such jobs as flight engineer and commander.
Across the room, there are chairs that are similar to the kind of zero gravity chair. With the press of a switch, the chairs fly across a special floor, giving astronauts-in-training an experience that somewhat simulates the zero gravity environment of space. This part of the experience also offers visitors a chance to learn about the management about sleeping, using the toilet and working in space.
Two simulations help participants experience what life on Mars might look like.
【1】What are the qualities most required for the astronaut training at KSCVC?
①Working together. ②Reading skills.
③Data analyzing. ④Communication skills.
A.①③ B.①④ C.②③ D.②④
【2】How might people feel when they take part in ATE?
A.Busy. B.Bored. C.Worried. D.Comfortable.
【3】We can conclude in the paragraph that follows ________.
A.the readers will get to know more about roles in space.
B.the zero gravity environment of space will be described.
C.the author might introduce NASA's Space Launch System.
D.the 'land and drive on Mars' simulators might be talked about.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Explore the Future of Space
B.Realize Your Dream at KSCVC
C.Experience Life as an Astronaut
D.Make Yourself a Great Astronaut

The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect!
