| The Japanese government has launched a campaign encouraging people to go to bed and get up extra early in order to reduce household carbon dioxide emissions. The Morning Challenge campaign, made public by the Environment Ministry, is based on the premise (前提) that exchanging late night electricity for an extra hour of morning sunlight could significantly cut the nation's carbon footprint. A typical family can reduce its carbon dioxide footprint by 85kg a year if everyone goes to bed and gets up one hour earlier, according to the campaign. The amount of carbon dioxide emissions potentially saved from going to bed an hour early was the equivalent of 20 percent of annual emissions from household lights, "Many Japanese people waste electric power at night time, for example by watching TV until very late," a ministry spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph. "But going to bed early and getting up early can avoid wasting electrical power which causes carbon dioxide emissions. If people change their lifestyle, we can save energy and reduce emissions." The campaign also proposes that people take advantage of an extra hour of morning sunlight by improving their lifestyles in general by running, doing yoga and eating a nutritious breakfast. It is the latest measure dealing with climate change by the Japanese Environment Ministry, which is faced with the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25 per cent from 1990 levels within the next decade. It was the same government department that started the high profile (姿态) Cool Biz campaign five years ago, which encourages workers to wear short-sleeved shirts and offices not to turn air con lower than 28 degrees during the summer. |
| 1. What does Morning Challenge claim is the purpose of its campaign? |
| A. To promote a healthier lifestyle. B. To encourage people to watch less TV. C. To reduce household carbon dioxide emissions. D. To show the sense of responsibility of the Japanese government. |
| 2. The Japanese government has to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the next ten years by _____ on the 1990 levels. |
| A. 20% B. 25% C. 85% D. 28% |
| 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? |
| A. The Japanese government is the first government to deal with the environmental problem. B. Carbon dioxide emissions are more serious in Japan than in any other country. C. The Japanese Environment Ministry is responsible for climate change. D. The purpose of Cool Biz campaign is similar to that of the Morning Challenge. |

| Dear Abby, I am a very conservative woman. I don't drink, dance, wear makeups or pants. I enjoy the company of friends despite (尽管) our differences and thought they enjoyed mine. On our most recent outing, however, they laughed at my religious jewelry, commented on my "lack of fashion," and made me feel guilty for not wanting to stay out late. Despite this, they are great friends and would help me at the drop of a hat. I don't bring up their being overweight, or that I think some of the clothes they wear are ugly. I don't criticize them for sleeping around. I wish they would accept me for who I am. I am considering not going out with them the next time they ask, but I don't really want it to come to that. Any suggestions? Just an Old-Fashioned Girl ________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Old-Fashioned Girl, Just this: It's time for you to start cultivating relationships with people whose values are more like your own.

| For a long time, a boy wondered why his next-desk pal was always the first in the class, whereas he could only rank the 21st. At home, he asked his mom, "Am I more stupid than other kids? How come I always lag behind? I just can't come up with an answer." Mom was aware that her son's self-respect had been damaged by the ranking system, but she didn't know what to say to help. She was tempted (想要) to say that intelligence differs and that yes, her son's friend really was the smarter boy. But that would have so upset her son. Thank goodness she resisted the temptation to say it. Her son and his friend went on to high school that year, but despite trying as hard as he could, her son's friend still outdid him. But she was proud of her boy for his hard work, sincerely proud. It was around this time she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside. On the trip, she at last found an answer for him. Today her son no longer cares about rankings. He doesn't have to, for he himself is now the top of the class-at the top national university he attends. Invited to speak to his old high school, he mentioned a valuable childhood experience: Once, on a trip to the sea, my mother and I were lying on the beach. She pointed to the sea and said to me, "Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there? When a wave comes near, the little birds rise quickly. The 'clumsy' seagulls are far less quick and have to struggle to get away from the wave. But these 'clumsy' prove to have the biggest, strongest wings, which open the widest and allow the bird to travel the furthest. When the season changes, they leave for foreign shores, leaving the little birds behind. Son, I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls." |
| 1. From the first paragraph, we could conclude the mother ______. |
| A. knew her son was not bright enough B. was troubled by her son's low rankings C. decided to help with her son's school work D. saw the harmful effects of the ranking system |
| 2. The mother didn't give an answer at first because she didn't want to hurt her son's ______. |
| A. self-respect B. intelligence C. strength D. rankings |
| 3. The story conveys the message that _____. a. only rankings show intelligence b. hard work and confidence can lead to a change in rankings c. parents should see children's strengths and encourage them d. competition between students is good for society |
| A. b, c B. c, d C. a, b, c D. b, c, d |
| 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the story? |
| A. How Important are Rankings? B. Little Birds and Seagulls C. The Answer Mom Gave D. Hard Work Pays Off! |

| A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives. Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users.
