         Modern work and life bring anxieties (焦虑). Sometimes even little things make us upset. How can we
    deal with all of the worries and relax? Here are some tips.

         Taking pictures to record your daily life is a good way to make you feel happy. According to scientists,
    the pictures can remind you of those happy memories.

    weekend can make you feel much better.

        Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there's too much to read these days, and too little time to
    read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills
    that I think are especially good.
        Preview-if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading
    like long magazine articles and business reports. Here's how to preview.
        ●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
        ●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
         Previewing doesn't give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don't really
    want-or need-to read.
         Skim-if it's short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading-like popular
    magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper. Here's how to skim.
        ●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
        ●Pick up only a few key words in each line. Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up
    the same words when we skim the same piece, but we'll get a similar idea of what it's all about.
    1. How many skills are recommended in this passage?

    [     ]

    A. One.
    B. Two.
    C. Three.
    D. Four.
    2. What does the underlined word "preview" mean in Chinese?

    [     ]

    A. 精读
    B. 默读
    C. 朗读
    D. 略读
    3. What should we NOT do when we read sports news in a daily paper according to the passage?

    [     ]

    A. Read the last two paragraphs carefully.
    B. Get our eyes to move fast.
    C. Sweep our eyes across each line.
    D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.
    4. What is the best title for this passage?

    A. How to read faster
    B. What to read
    C. When to read
    D. Why we should read

         What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be optimist (乐观
    者), a leader or an active person who enjoys life. Do you prefer grey and blue?
         Then you are probably quiet, shy and you'd rather follow than lead. You seem to be a pessimist (悲观者).
         Colours influence our moods, there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more
    cheerful and warmer than a dark green one. It seems that a red dress brings warmth and cheer. On the other
    hand, black is depressing (令人压抑的). A black bridge over the River Thames, near London, used to be the
    scene of more suicides (自杀) than other bridges in the area until it was painted green. The number of suicide
    attempts (企图) fell sharply at once, perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink
    or baby blue. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active. It is true fact that
    factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather
    than black or dark green.
    1. If you are an optimist, you like the colours except _____.
    A. yellow
    B. orange
    C. grey
    D. red
    2. If you prefer grey and blue, then you are probably except _____.
    A. quiet
    B. shy

         Animals are people's friends. Buy many wild animals are facing the danger of dying out, because the
    environment that they are living in has changed greatly.
         For example, their living area has become smaller and smaller because of the development of cities
    and the increasing of population (人口). They have no enough room to live in or enough food to eat. At
    the same time, men are trying their best to kill the animals just for getting their fur and skin, teeth and meat.
         People should realize how serious it is and something should be done to protect the animals. We should
    build some reserves, so that animals can live freely. And people should not be allowed to kill the endangered
    animals or eat their meat.
         We should do something to make our world cleaner. Fresh air, clean water and green grass are all
    important for animals. The death of the endangered animals will bring a disaster to human beings (人类).
