The Importance of Keeping a Good Mood

With the development of modern science, technology and economics, our living standard has reached an ever higher level.But more and more people are living under greater pressure than ever before.As a consequence, people are increasingly suffering from various distortions both physically and mentally.To help out, it is important that everyone keep a good mood today.There are several reasons for my argument.First, a good mood can create high efficiency.When you work with a good mood, you will feel happy and be willing to do some work which used to be boring.On the contrary, a bad mood can make you passive and do things with reluctance.Second, a good mood is beneficial to your health.If you fail to keep a good mood, you will be feeling depressed and fed up, which is apt to cause some psychological diseases.Third, when you have a good mood, other people around you will be influenced.Thus more and more people will feel happy to communicate with you.To sum up, keeping a good mood is very important both for yourself and for the people around you.If you want to have a happy and successful life, please keep a good mood every day.

New Year’s Eve

For many people in the west, New Year’s Eve is the biggest party of the year.It’s time to get together with friends or family and welcome in the coming year.New Year’s parties can take place in different places.Some people hold a house party;others attend street parties, while some just go for a few drinks with their friends.Big cities have large and spectacular fireworks displays.There is one thing that all New Year’s Eve parties have in common---the countdown to midnight.When the clock strikes 12, people give a loud cheer and sing songs.It’s also popular to make a promise in the New Year.This is called the New Year’s resolution.Typical resolutions include giving up smoking and keeping fit.However the promise is often broken quite quickly and people are back into their bad habits within weeks or days.PARTIILISTENINGCOMPREHENSION

Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?

In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China.Many people believe that tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism.But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment.As for me, I'm firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various ways.One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot.In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment.This process usually breaks the ecological balance of the area.In some mountainous places, trees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains.Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up.Another way the development of tourism has damaged the environment occurs when tourists go to scenic spots.Some tourists don't have the awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their garbage here and there.Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment.It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism.We must keep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment.We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing the pollution they cause to a minimum.SECTIONBNOTE-WRITING

The Victorians had become addicted to speed and, like all speed crazy kids, they wanted to go ever faster.Time was money and efficiency became increasingly important.Although division of labour had been conceived by Adam Smith and illustrated by a pin factory in The Wealth of Nations in 1776, it could now become fully realised.This specialisation andindividualisation of labour was in marked contrast to the rural means of production, in which the family was the means of production, consumption and socialisation.With greater speed came a greater need for industries and businesses to make more and make it quicker.Steam made this possible and changed working life forever.Gone were the days when work was dictated by natural forces: steam engines were servant to neither season nor sunshine.Factories had foremen and life became correspondingly more regimented.The clocking-on machine was invented in 1885 and time and motion studies to increase efficiency would be introduced only some twenty years later.But it was not all bad news.Agricultural incomes

depended on variable harvests and weather.Factories provided secure and predictable income, but long hours.Working life was becoming increasingly regulated, and the working week was reorganised to promote ever-greater efficiency.The old custom of St.Mondaywas gradually phased out and to compensate, work stopped around midday on Saturday and did not resume until Monday morning.A new division between 'work' and 'leisure' emerged, and this new block of weekend leisure time coincided with the development of spectator sports like cricket and football, and the rise of music hall entertainment for the new working classes.阅读部分真题（网友版）

TEXT A

After breakfast the boys wandered out into the play-ground.Here the day-boys were gradually assembling.They were sons of the local clergy, of the officers at the Depot, and of such

manufacturers or men of business as the old town possessed.Presently a bell rang, and they all trooped into school.This consisted of a large, long room at opposite ends of which two

under-masters conducted the second and third forms, and of a smaller one, leading out of it, used by Mr.Watson, who taught the first form.To attach the preparatory to the senior school these three classes were known officially, on speech days and in reports, as upper, middle, and lower second.Philip was put in the last.The master, a red-faced man with a pleasant voice, was called Rice;he had a jolly manner with boys, and the time passed quickly.Philip was surprised when it was a quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes' rest.The whole school rushed noisily into the play-ground.The new boys were told to go into the middle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls.They began to play Pig in the Middle.The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was seized and the mystic words saidhe became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free.Philip saw a boy running past and tried to

catch him, but his limp gave him no chance;and the runners, taking their opportunity, made straight for the ground he covered.Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip's clumsy run.Other boys saw it and began to laugh;then they all copied the first;and they ran round Philip, limping grotesquely, screaming in their treble voices with shrill laughter.They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment.One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cut his knee.They laughed all the louder when he got up.A boy pushed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him.The game was forgotten in the entertainment of Philip's deformity.One of them invented an odd, rolling limp that struck the rest as supremely ridiculous, and several of the boys lay down on the ground and rolled about in laughter: Philip was completely scared.He could not make out why they were laughing at him.His heart beat so that he could hardly breathe, and he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life.He stood still stupidly while the boys ran round him, mimicking and laughing;they shouted to him to try and catch them;but he did not move.He did not want them to see him run any more.He was using all his strength to prevent himself from crying.选自：人性的枷锁 Of Human Bondage 第十一章

For parents who send their kids off to college saying, “These will be the best years of your life,” it would be very appropriate to add, “If you can handle the stress of college life.”

Freshmen are showing up already stressed out, according to the latest CIRP Freshman

Survey that reported students' emotional health levels at their lowest since the survey started in 1985.While in school, more students are working part-time and near-full-time jobs.At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors have jobs lined up.Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively handle this stress.1)Stress can make smart people do stupid things: Stress causes what brain researchers call “cortical inhibition.” In simple terms, stress inhibits a part of the brain responsible for

decision-making and reaction time and can adversely affect other mental abilities as well.2)The human body doesn't discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one: Any stressful experience will create a cascade of 1,400 biochemical events in your body.If any amount of stress is left unchecked, many things can occur within the body, including premature aging, impaired cognitive function and energy drain.3)Stress can become your new norm: When you regularly experience negative feelings and high amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this as your normal state.This then becomes the new norm, or baseline for your emotional state.4)Stress can be controlled: Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional stateusing emotion-refocusing techniques.These techniques help you recognize how you are feeling and shift to a more positive emotional, mental and physical state.5)Stress less by loving what you study: Barbara Frederickson, a leading international authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed to seek positive emotions such as love and joy.It's suggested to choose a major or career path you love and enjoy.Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.选自：华盛顿邮报

For anyone who doubts that the texting revolution is upon us, consider this: The average 13-to 17-year-old sends and receives 3,339 texts a month—more than 100 per day, according to the Nielsen Co., the media research firm.Adults are catching up.People from ages 45 to 54 sent and received 323 texts a month in the second quarter of 2010, up 75% from a year ago, Nielsen says.Behind the texting explosion is a fundamental shift in how we view our mobile devices.That they are phones is increasingly beside the point.Part of what's driving the texting surge among adults is the popularity of social media.Sites like Twitter, with postings of no more than 140 characters, are creating and reinforcing the habit of communicating in micro-bursts.And these sites also are pumping up sheer volume.Many Twitter and Facebook devotees create settings that alert them, via text message, every time a tweet or message is earmarked for them.In October 2009, 400 million texts alerted social-media users to such new messages across AT&T's wireless network, says Mark Collins, AT&T senior vice president for data and voice products;by September 2010, the number had more than doubled to one billion.(Twitter reports more than two billion tweets are sent each month.)
