         In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages.
    We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no
      1   for stillness.
       And when we are   2   to be still because we're in line for something, or waiting at a doctor's
    appointment, or on a bus or train, we often   3 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices,
    others will read something. Being still isn't something we're   4  .
       This comes at a    5   : we lose that time for   6  , for observing and listening. We lose peace.
       And   7   still: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily,
    but get   8  done.

    you constantly reading and answering   10   or checking on the news and the latest stream of information?

       Is this how you want to spend your   12  ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be
       13  . Don't think about what you have to do, or what you've done already.   14   be in the moment.
       Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you'd   15   it to be. See your
    life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more
       16  .
       Then be that vision.
       It's pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.   17   you've gotten used to that,

          A baby camel asked his mother, "why do we have such large hoofs on our feet?" She turned to him
    and began her explanation.
         "The big hoofs are to keep us from sinking into the sand."
          "Oh!So why do we have long eyelashes?"
         "It's to protect our eyes from the sand."
         "Why the big humps?"
         "That is to store fat and have enough energy to go long distances in the hot desert!"
         "I see!"the baby camel stretched his neck and looked up at his mother."Then what are we doing in
    this cage in the middle of a zoo?"
         Like the baby camel, I had asked the same kind of questions. When my blindness set in, I first
    locked myself in a cage of self-pity and bitterness. I was tired of walking out of that dark cage.
          Heavens! What was I thinking? Those bars were self-imposed (自我强加的). Finally, eagerness to
    leave it inspired me to open my ears to hear a reassuring whisper--I was created for much more.
         I broke down those bars and stepped out into the desert of life. I walked difficultly through the heat
    with determination. And the hooves of confidence kept me from sinking into the sand of danger.
         Each time I reached another point on my journey, my eyes saw a whole new world with opportunities
    to make a difference. Best of all, I was pleased that I was indeed created for much more! Bars come in
    all sizes and shapes. But none can hold up the force of determination that breaks them down.
          Step back and peek at what bars limit you. Take a deep breath, break them down, and come out
    into the freshness of a new life!

    1. The dialogue between the baby camel and his mother is quoted to _____.

       A. show the hard life of camels
       B. encourage readers to ask questions
       C. introduce the topic of the passage
       D. make the passage interesting

    2. In the passage, the underlined word "bars" refers to ______.

       A. the cage for the author to stay in
       B. the cage for the camels to stay in
       C. the bad self-imposed situation around the author
       D. something lying here and there in the desert

    3. According to the passage, we know that the author _______.

       A. feels sad about the baby camel
       B. seems to like the mother camel's situation
       C. still can't recover form the bitterness
       D. once felt hopeless in his life

          Barbara and Barry Zucker--- Pinchoff, both doctors from New York City, took their three
    daughters on a walking safari(旅行)last year in Tanzania. Barbara told about their experience in
    Kinbero, "It is the most remote(遥远的)place we have ever been to," camping with a few other
    Americans, two Tanzanian guides, and several Hadza(哈扎人)who had time to sit and chat
    because they had just killed a giraffe.
         About 400 members of the Eastern Hadza tribe(部落)live in Tanzania today, the only
    hunter-gatherers who remain in Africa. The Hadza hunt game, gather edible plants and honey,
    and move from place to place whenever the weather changes. Every two weeks or so, they move
    to a new campsite.
         At the Pinchoffs' campsite, three Hadza men stopped by to visit and ended up staying three
    days. One of the guides gave the men a cigarette. They took out the tobacco, put it in a pipe, and
    lit the pipe with fire they started.
         It takes less than two hours for Hadza women to build a new camp. They make huts(茅屋)by
    bending branches into round structures about six feet high, and then covering them with long,
    golden grass. If the weather is very wet, the women may choose a dry cave to set up a camp. Some
    rock caves have been used over thousands of years and are decorated(装饰)with ancient rock
    paintings. Whether they sleep in huts, caves or in the open, the Hadza cover themselves only with thin
    cloths and depend on fire to keep them warm.
         The Hadza refuse to be "settled" into villages or to have the life of farmers. By 1979, almost all of
    them had returned to their old ways. They Hadza may be the only tribe in Africa that has never paid
    taxes.

    1. The passage mainly tells us          .

    A. one of the author's travel experiences
    B. the life of the Hadza tribe in Tanzania
    C. Barbara's walking safari in Tanzania
    D. the efforts of the Hadza to keep their old ways

    2. What do we know about the life of the Hadza?

    A. They change their campsites regularly. 
    B. They live mainly on farming.
    C. They keep warm using leaves at night.  
    D. It takes them a long time to set up a camp.

    3. Where do the Hadza live in wet weather?

    A. On the farm.  
    B. In huts.  
    C. In caves.  
    D. In the open.

         Imagine you're at a party full of strangers. You're nervous. Who are these people? How do you
    start a conversation? Fortunately, you've got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone's
    name tag (标签). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.
         This hasn't quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID
    technology.
         An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet's skin, even under your own
    skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source - batteries because they do not need it. The energy
    comes from the reader, a scanning device (装置), that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that
    starts up the tag immediately.
         Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID
    technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport.
    Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient's medical records.
    At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person)
    section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.
         Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing.
    One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more
    milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart
    network that would make ordinary life simpler.
          RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. "The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of
    individual small devices, connected wirelessly,"predicts Dr. J. Reich. Human right supporters are nervous
    about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they
    say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but
    also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits.
         When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication, not for
    pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here's a wild
    guess: Not for buying milk.

    1. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people _______.

    A. will have no trouble getting data about others
    B. will have more energy for conversation
    C. will have more time to make friends
    D. will not feel shy at parties any longer

    2. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of _______.

    A. scanning devices    
    B. radio waves    
    C. batteries    
    D. chips

    3. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?

    A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.
    B. Because market competition will become more fierce.
    C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.
    D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.

    4. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology _______.

    A. will not be used for such matters as buying milk
    B. will be widely used, including for buying milk
    C. will probably not be used for pop music
    D. will be limited to communication uses

    In the past my hometown was the most beautiful place. Thick trees and green grass could
    be seen anywhere. In order to build more house and grow more crops, people cut down much
    more trees. As time went on, the whole forest was almost destroyed. Gradually, the green hills
    turn wasteland. As a result, sandstorms struck us now and then, from which we were suffered
    a lot. So I do wish all the people could realize the terribly disaster caused from man. What’s
    more, we should take good care of our nature and punish those who against the law.
