A
Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently—one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume(简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues(问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment(分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists-everyone-is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.
96. What does the writer think of the reporter?
A. Optimistic. B. Imaginative. C. Ambitious. D. Proud.
97. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the news value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.
D. Improving his good ideas.
98. Who probably wrote the letter?
A. An editor. B. An artist. C. A reporter. D. A reader.
99. The letter aims to remind editors that they should ?.
A. keep their best reporters at all costs
B. give more freedom to their reporters
C. be aware of their reporters' professional development
D. appreciate their reporters' working styles and attitudes
B
The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana(大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the user's IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as "infomania". The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men.
It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person's mind. It can cause a constant distraction of "always on" technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. At a microcellular level, the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.
Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person's mind, but to their social relationship. 1100 adults were interviewed during the research. More than 62 percent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting one's characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude.
The effects on IQ were studied by Dr. Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. "This is a very real and widespread phenomenon," he said, "We have found that infomania will damage a worker's performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working."
100. We can learn from the passage that "infomania" ?.
A. has a positive influence on one's IQ
B. results in the change of part of the brain
C. lies in the problem of lack of concentration
D. is caused by too much use of modern technology
101. The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about ?.
A. the important fun_ction of advanced technology
B. the damage to one's brain done by unhealthy habits
C. the relevance between IQ and use of modern technology
D. the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness
102. The underlined word "scrutinized" probably means " ?".
A. examined carefully B. copied patiently
C. corrected quickly D. admitted freely
103. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The regular use of text messages and e-mails can be compared to smoking marijuana.
B. The regular use of text messages and e-mails can harm your IQ.
C. Modern technology can damage a person's mind.
D. Electronic messages have side effects on the user's life.

Are you a dog person or a cat person? Your preference for one animal or the other shows a bit about your personality.
Sixty-two percent of U.S. households have a pet, according to the American Pet Products Association. Dogs are the most popular pets with 39 percent of U.S. households owning at least one dog, but cats come in second with 33 percent of U.S. households having at least one cat.
Studies show that we tend to like the animals with which we were raised, and factors(因素) like age and living space also play a role in pet ownership. Parents with young children are more likely to have dogs that kids can take outside, while older people and singles are more likely to have cats. And people in the suburbs(郊区) are more likely to adopt large dogs, while those living in apartments are likely to have cats or small dogs.
Still, research shows that there are differences between cat people and dog people. A University of Texas study found that dog people are more confident, outgoing, agreeable and conscientious(尽责的) than cat people. Cat people, on the other hand, are more creative and adventurous.
However, there are some things that cat people and dog people have in common. Both types of people talk to animals, consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing, and are generally optimists.
Check out some of the other findings from Hunch.com's survey below.
Living area preferences
Dog people are more likely to live in the countryside.
Cat people are more likely to live in an urban area.
Animal rescue leanings(倾向)
Dog people are more likely to call animal control if they find young cats that are lost or have no home.
Cat people are more likely to rescue young cats that are lost or have no home.
Random facts
Dog people are more likely to think of zoos as happy places.
Cat people are more likely to be active on social networking websites.
But what about those people with both cats and dogs? According to Hunch.com's survey, these people are likely to be politically middle of the road.
104. Which of the following is more likely to have a large dog?
A. A girl raised with a cat.
B. An old man living in a big city.
C. A single man living in an apartment.
D. A woman living in the outer suburbs of a town.
105. Both cat people and dog people ?.
A. are conscientious B. like trying new things
C. love animal-print clothing D. are hopeful about the future
106. According to the findings from Hunch.com's survey, dog people ?.
A. are interested in politics
B. tend to enjoy going to the zoo
C. always rescue young cats by themselves
D. usually have no confidence in themselves
D
Everyone agrees that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and grief. The question, however, is "What is real happiness?" The desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.
Generally, ordinary beings consider sensual pleasures as happiness, and their actions are directed toward gaining these. According to them, searching for happiness means searching for pleasures of the senses. The question, "What is happiness?", does not arise(出现) in their hearts, because in their hearts they think of a life full of sensual joys as a happy life.
Some thinkers say, "Happiness does not lie in the objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in the imagination." To prove their belief they give examples like the following one. A man has a two-storey house. When he thinks of those who have a house with three storeys or more, he feels unhappy. When he thinks of those who have just a cottage, he feels happy. Such happiness does not lie in possessions(占有物), but in the imagination. They advise people to take inspiration from those who have few possessions but are quite happy. If you only consider people wealthier than yourself, you will always be unhappy.
If you want to be happy, they say, look at the poor. But it is unreasonable to hold that happiness lies in the imagination. And it is inappropriate to think that someone is happy if he only imagines himself better than the poor and the unhappy. This attitude also satisfies the sense of pride of possession. This can never be called happiness. Unless we find out where happiness lies, we cannot really become happy.
Some ask people to do this or that, and say, "This way your desires will be satisfied. That way you will get what you want and become happy." People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires and unhappiness as denial(否定) of such satisfaction.
107. The underlined word "cottage" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ?.
A. a house in one's imagination B. a modern building
C. a desired object D. a small house
108. The author may agree that ?.
A. by comparing themselves with the poor, people will feel happy
B. people won't feel happy without a desire for happiness
C. possessing wealth may lead to a sense of pride
D. people have to experience pain and grief before finding happiness
109. The best title for this passage would be " ?".
A. What Is Happiness? B. How to Get Happiness
C. Happiness and Desire D. Happiness and Imagination

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
