26、 It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages(堵塞) that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
【1】According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by_______________ .
A. the great speed of modern life B. traffic jams
C. terrible road conditions D. the behavior of the drivers
【2】In the writer’s opinion, a good driver should________________ .
A. beat back when forced to face rude driving
B. show road politeness properly
C. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel
D. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to
【3】The following statements are right EXCEPT that______________.
A. Some modern drivers are not good at driving
B. Road politeness is good sense as well as good manners
C. A friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politeness
D. It is also right to have a tiger in the driver's seat
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Road politeness B. Traffic problems
C. Good manners D. Modern drivers
27、 One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we throw away is e-waste—electronic items that are broken and not recycled. Now solutions are being found to give this stuff a new life.
Many millions of tons of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are discarded each year, partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tons of e-waste produced every year will more than double to 110 million tons by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
However, there's a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that "this project allows you to reduce waste, make the life of objects longer, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault. '
As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting(提取)these materials from electrical items. It’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense — collection of e-waste for recycling are 'stagnating' (停滞不前的) or even 'decreasing' according to Ruediger Kuehr of the United Nations University. And in countries where there is no legislation(立法), much of it is just thrown away. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to deal with the problem by insisting that manufacturers have to make appliances longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.
【1】What does the underlined word 'discarded' in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.recycled B.thrown away C.dealt with D.produced
【2】What do we know about the Restart Project in London according to the text?
A.It helps people to use their electronics longer in order to reduce waste.
B.It collects all kinds of electronic items that are broken.
C.It encourages people to get rid of items that have developed a fault.
D.It is one of the famous clubs in the world.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards these projects?
A.Negative. B.Positive. C.Neutral. D.Critical.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Giving the rubbish a new life B.The fastest growing waste stream
C.Solving the problem of e-waste D.The importance of recycling
28、For every one article on some positive aspect, some positive element of life, wellbeing, satisfaction, joy, happiness, you get 21 articles on depression, anxiety and so on. Ratio of 21 to 1. Studies focus primarily on what doesn't work. And this is not a new phenomenon. The science of psychology（心理）has been far more successful on the negative than on the positive side. It has revealed to us much more about man's shortcomings, his illnesses, but little about his potentialities, his virtues or his psychological height. We study a lot of depression and anxiety, misjudgments and errors, very much focusing on this aspect and very little on the positive. If you had a person who 21 hours in a day was depressed and one hour in a day felt good or one day feeling good and then 21 days feeling anxious and depressed, you would say that this person would need help. And I think psychology needs help.
Today depression is 10 times higher than it was in 1960. Now part of it is because there's more awareness, because we measure better. But that's not all. It's also simply because objectively there's more depression. The average age for depression today is less than 15. Kids at very young age are introduced to the "information highway". And very often, they are not prepared, not able to deal with it in an effective way. So when we look at this data, we say we do need more research to help people overcome depression or anxiety. And there seems nothing wrong about that.
According to the studies, 47% Harvard students over the past year have experienced depression to the point of not functioning. So they couldn't leave home. They were really struggling to just basically get through the day. Now this is not unique to United States. We have a global epidemic here. And once again going back: Is the 21:1 ratio good? How can we even think about studying happiness and well-being and love and joy?
What I'm going to argue for is that we do need to also focus on the positive. I am going to talk about three reasons why we should do that. The first reason is that it is important to focus or what works, because what works or what we focus on rather creates reality. If we focus on what is working, we'll have more working in our world, more working in ourselves, more working in our relationships. The second reason why positive psychology as an independent field of study is important is that being happy is not just the negative statement of depression. It doesn't mean just getting rid of depression or anxiety that I am experiencing so I spontaneously（自然而然）become happy. That's not the case. That's not how it works. And finally, prevention, which is the most effective way of preventing hardship, is actually realized by focusing on and cultivating the positive. So for these three reasons, we need positive psychology.
【1】By using the ratio of 21 to 1, the author means in fact that__________.
A．on an average a person is depressed 21 hours a day and feels good one hour
B．most articles and studies focus primarily on what goes wrong
C．the science of psychology has revealed human's nature
D．nearly half of Harvard and nationwide students suffer from depression
【2】Which is the main reason why depression is 10 times higher than it was in 1960?
A．Simply because people are more aware and we measure better
B．Mainly because teenagers are too weak to fight it.
C．Objectively because there's more depression in the present world.
D．Possibly because we lack effective way to deal with depression.
【3】What is NOT closely related to positive psychology?
A．Preventing depression or anxiety by focusing on and cultivating the positive feelings.
B．Offering various ways of overcoming the negative feelings.
C．Focusing on what is working to have more working in our life.
D．Being happy is not equal to avoiding being unhappy.
【4】What might the author agree with in this article?
A．It is essential for our research to focus more on the bright side
B．There is no need for the science of psychology to deal with the negative side.
C．The conflict between the negative psychology and positive one can't be avoided.
D．We have to remove depression completely in order to be happy.
29、 Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers.
In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, " Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."
