The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍).Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time. Thank you. You've given me hope that I can follow my heart.

In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略). …… When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level.

Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees(棕榈树), sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life. Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.

D. An advertisement. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious (难为情) when they're in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness. Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue. Don't forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal. Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12inch plate instead of a 10inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass. 1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________. A. their home comforts B. their body shape C. house buying 2.A home environment in blue can help people ________.

Turn down the lights. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner C. Effects of SelfConsciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing? 1. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?B.

主要掌握偏向性，主要是分为支持，反对，中立，没有体现。一般以考察单个形容词(或相应的名词)为主，偶尔考察动词，或者介词短语。这个时候，往往是使用一个句子来表达偏向性。 1.依据题干其他信息返回原文。 2.理解作者的态度，先大概区分支持，反对，中立。 3.对比选项，选出答案 支持 反对 Afraid, Critical, Hostile, Negative, Fearful, Suspicious, 中立 Opposed, Indifferent, Desperate, Neutral, Pessimistic, Objective, Depressing, Worried, Puzzling, Cold, Sorrowful, Anxious, 不清楚 Unclear, Doubtful, Skeptical, Unknown, Ambiguous, Uncertain, 其他 Curious, Uninterested, Cautious, Regretful, Realistic, Unconcerned, Contradictory, Casual, Formal, Passive, Lucky, 形容词 Approving, Favorable, Supportive, Positive, Helpful, Optimistic, Energetic, Enthusiastic, Hopeful, Concerned, 动词 benefit,advocate, criticize, hate, stop, lose like, accept, improve in favor of against sit on the fence 介短 A In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out. Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. 1. Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing? A. Afraid B. Curious C. Approving D. Uninterested B Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but
8
communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time. Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others' pity or respect. ...... Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible. 2. What is the author's attitude towards negative people? A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive. C My father's reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: \"You won't catch me putting my money in there!\" he declared, \"Not in that glass box!\" Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money. In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (实物) that could be carried, or stolen. 3. It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards the new trend in banking is _______. A. cautious B. regretful A Have you ever wondered why certain people always say they are lucky? Some people say the secret of being born lucky is probably a summer birthday. May babies are the most likely to enjoy a lifetime of good fortune, a study of 40, 000 people has found. The time of year you are born has a lasting influence on optimism (乐观) and whether people think they are lucky, British and Swedish scientists said. May is the luckiest month to be born in, with half of those born then considering themselves lucky. October is the least lucky month with only 43 percent claiming good fortune. The study adds to evidence that luck is not all down to chance, but is also affected by a person's attitude. Another research has shown that whether people think themselves lucky depends more on having a \"glass half-full\" (instead of \"half-empty\") approach to life, than on success. Professor Richard Wiseman, who led the study, said, \"Something is influencing how people feel about their luck. People create their own luck through their attitude towards life. \" 4. Having a \"glass half-full\" approach to life is a (an) ________ attitude. A. optimistic B. pessimistic C. lucky D. depressing CADBD Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to perform euthanasia(安乐死)—that's to say, doctors are permitted to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. Word that the law was passed by C. positive D. hostile

the vote of 15 to 10 immediately flashed on the Internet and was picked up by John, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada, who posted it on the group's homepage online, saying, \"This isn't merely something that happened in Australia. It's world history. \" The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical influence. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling. Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to end suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a \"cooling off\" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the disturbing fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. \"I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks, \" he says. 1. According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE? A. Patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia if they are afraid of illness. B. Australia, Canada and the US speak highly of the law of euthanasia. C. All people in Australia don't share the positive attitude to euthanasia D. If a patient requests death, he should sign a certificate after 48 hours. 2. The underlined sentence in Para 2, \"observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling. \" means that observers are prepared to learn the news that . A. some other countries pass similar laws B. Australia has to put an end to euthanasia C. people begin to change attitudes to euthanasia D. different effects result from the game of dominoes 3. Which is NOT the reason for Australia to become the first country to pass the law of euthanasia? A. Australia has advanced technology of extending life. B. Australians realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than death. C. Australia is faced with a growing ageing population. D. Australians find it easy to deal with the moral and practical influence. 4. It can be inferred from the text that . A. Australia passed the law of euthanasia by the vote of 15 to 10 B. John and his group are in favor of the law of euthanasia in Australia. C. an adult patient can request euthanasia by a deadly injection or pill D. Lloyd has seen many people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen. 5. What's the author's attitude to euthanasia? A. Negative B. Critical C. Doubtful D. Positive DDBAC It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost

immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on by way of the group's online service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: \"We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history. \" The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the hurry of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia—where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia (安乐死). In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling. Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed (诊断) as Terminally Ill by two doctors. After a \"cooling off\" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. \"I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks, \" he says. 1. Which of the following has the similar meaning to \"But the tide is unlikely to turn back. \"? A. What happened in Australia can change world history. B. It is impossible to pass the NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law. C. Doctors are allowed by law to take the lives of the ill patients. D. That the Law has been passed probably can't be changed. 2. From the second paragraph we learn that __________. A. the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries B. physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia C. changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hurry passage of the law D. it takes time to realize the significance of the law's passage 3. By saying \"observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling\ A. observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia B. similar bills are likely to be passed in the U. S. , Canada and other countries C. observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes D. the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop 4. We can learn from the passage that Lloyd Nickson __________. A. will face his death with calm when dying B. experiences a lot the suffering of a lung cancer C. has an intense fear of terrible suffering D. undergoes a cooling off period of seven days 5. The author's attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that of __________. A. opposition B. doubt C. approval D. anxiety 试题分析：本文描述了人们对于安乐死的不同的态度, 有人支持有人反对。文章最后还举例进行了说明。 小题1:C 推理题。根据第二段2, 3, 4行Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the law. 说明人们对于这一有不同的观点, 有人支持有人反对。故C项正确。

I说明ABC三项都是这样做的原因, 只有D项不是。故D符合要求。 小题4:B 推断题。根据第一段Word that the law was passed by the vote of 15 to 10 immediately flashed on the Internet and was picked up by John, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada, who posted it on the group's homepage online, saying, \"This isn't merely something that happened in Australia. It's world history. \"说明John和他的团队认为安乐死是一个全世界的潮流, 不仅仅会发生在澳大利亚。故B正确。 小题5:D 推理题。根据文章1. 2两段都可以看出作者对这一现象是持支持的态度的, 认为安乐死将是以后的趋势, 故D项正确。 点评：本文描述了人们对于安乐死的不同的态度。要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系, 结合自己的生活常识和经验, 再通过逻辑推理和判断, 理解文章的言外之意, 从而揭示文章的深层涵义。任何一篇文章都有其特定的写作目的, 读者应当知道如何去做或按照某种方式传递思考问题。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到, 因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文, 在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据, 即：已知部分－推论的前提, 从中推测出未知部分－推理的结论, 切忌妄加评论, 把自己的观点当成作者的观点。 作者在本文中叙述了澳大利亚北部地区通过了安乐死这一法案, 同时也告诉我们很多人对此有不同的看法。 【试题解析】推理题。根据Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the hurry of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. 可知这项法律引起了人们的广泛争论, 有人支持, 有人反对。但是这项法律已经被投票通过了, 不能再被更改了。所以D项是正确的。 【试题解析】推理题。根据本段第一句The full import may take a while to sink in. 可知要过一段时间以后这项法律才真正地被人们所了解。本句中的sink in表示理解。故D正确。 【试题解析】推理题。根据本句In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling. 可知在美国和加拿大, 很多人都支持这样的法律, 也许人们都希望在美国和加拿大都能够通过类似的这样同意安乐死的法律。故B正确。 【试题解析】推理题。根据最后一段4, 5行For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. 可知她现在患有肺癌, 如果她同样安乐死, 她的死亡将没有任何痛苦, 会非常平静。故A正确。 【试题解析】推理题。在本文中作者先说明澳大利亚北部地区通过了这一法律, 然后又列举了多个例子证明这一法律在很多情况下都是有利的。说明作者是赞成这一法律的。故C正确。 【长难句解析】I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks, \" he says. 【翻译】他说：我并不害怕死亡, 但是我害怕的是我如何死去。因为我看见医院里的人死于缺氧, 用手抓他们的面罩。【分析】本句中的but连接的是两个并列句, but后面的并列句里有一个what引导的主语从句what I was afraid of, what 既是这个主语从句的引导词也在句中作为介词of的宾语。同时句中还有一个表语从句how I'd go。
