”remembering that ill be dead soon is the most important tool ive ever encountered（遇到）to help me make the big choice in life. about a year ago i was diagnosed with cancer. the doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that i would live no longer than three to six months. the doctors advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is the doctors code for preparing yourself to die. i lived with that diagnosis all day. i was completely in despair. later that evening, i had another biopsy（活组织检查）and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. i had the surgery and im fine now. this was the closest ive been to facing death. to tell the truth, no one wants to die. and yet death is the destination we all share. no one has ever escaped it. it clears out the old to make room for the new. right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. your time is so limited that you shouldnt waste it repeating someone elses life. dont be trapped by dogma（教条）which is living with the results of other peoples thinking. dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. and most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. it somehow already knows what you truly want to become. everything else is secondary. 1. the doctors advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because_. a. he had to rest at homeb. his disease was not serious at all c. his disease couldnt be curedd. he had to wait for the result of the test2. how did the author feel after the diagnosis?

the pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. dr. johnson said, “they told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the internet as when they talked face to face. when the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation. ” generally the information was not extremely personal. it was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. but some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences. dr. johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. and when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “if you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. this is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. so emailing has become the modern way of talking. ” said dr. johnson. however, this style of talking is not entirely new. “in the 19th century people started to use the telegraph to communicate. now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely. ”dr. johnson thinks that e- mailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “if you dont know about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to. ”5. the subject discussed in this passage is_. a. how people open up when emailing b. how people do research studies c. how to communicate at work d. how to discuss and solve a problem6. the reason why some couples talked freely about themselves is that_. a. they didnt talk about very personal things b. they couldnt see each other c. the cameras on the computers were turned ond. they had to discuss a question7. what do the underlined words（in para. 4）refer to?

according to harold herzog, professor of psychology at the western carolina university, there simply isnt strong evidence showing that living with a pet makes for a happier, healthier or longer life. in a new article, to be published in the august issue of current directions in psychological science, a journal of the association for psychological science, herzog argues that existing research on pet ownership has produced very conflicting results. while some studies suggest that owning a pet is associated with positive health outcomes like reduced rates of depression (抑郁症)or lower blood pressure, other studies suggest that pet owners are no better off and may even be worse off in some ways, than people who dont own pets. the reason for these, herzog says, is that studies on pet ownership often suffer from problems, such as lack of appropriate control groups (控制组)and reliance on self- report to measure participants health and well- being. herzog admits that he himself is a pet owner and pet lover. “im not trying to denigrate (贬低)the role of animals in human life. im trying to do just the opposite, ” he says. “its entirely reasonable that our pets really do provide medical and psychological benefits, but we just dont know how strong that effect is and what types of people it works for. ”herzog notes that americans with disabilities act had to be changed in order to clarify the fact that only trained dogs and small horses that perform a specific service function could legally qualify as service animals. herzog points out that the scientific community is starting to take these issues seriously. in 2008, the national institutes of health began a program to fund studies that examine the medical and psychological benefits of pets on children. herzog is encouraged that psychological scientists are really becoming involved in this research: “i think in five years were going to have some answers to our questions. ”13. why does the author mention the question in paragraph 1? a. to express the authors doubts. b. to compare different ideas. c. to describe peoples opinions of pets. d. to introduce the topic for discussion. 14. what does the underlined word “these” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? a. conflicting results. b. pet owners. c. health outcomes. d. studies on pet ownership. 15. which of the following statements might herzog agree with? a. once trained, dogs and horses can work as service animals. b. researchers generally hold the same view on pet ownership. c. human- pet relationships have drawn attention from scientists. d. it makes no sense that pets provide medical and psychological effects. 16. whats herzogs attitude towards research on pet ownership? a. cautious. b. optimistic. c. negative. d. doubtful. e（2012宜春模拟）you wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts. the person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. you are still in a wonderful mood? impossible! communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. it may not change what you think，but 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. when you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. when the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down. sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. this could be a co- worker，or a relative. in this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they wont feel ashamed of themselves about that. 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. 17. the purpose of the first paragraph is to _. a. make a comparisonb. offer an evidencec. introduce a topic d. describe a daily scene18. how can negative people have an effect on us?

a. favorable. b. indifferent. c. critical. d. supportive. unit 2a（2012合肥模拟）the traditional school exercise books and pens could become history. every student at worthington school is offered a laptop. buildings with wireless systems will open soon. the laptop project will cost the school about 100, 000. parents are being asked to pay 2 per week for their childs laptop during their study in the school. those unable to pay will receive economic aid. the headmaster，will roberts, says parents think it is a “bargain ”because its expensive to buy a laptop. “with the help of the laptop, any time the students want to learn, they can. students there, aged between 11 and 18 can complete their homework by connecting to the school servers （服务器）from home. and their work can be marked at once and teachers share students work away from the classroom, ” mr. roberts says. mr. roberts points out, however, that children will continue to use traditional learning materials. “there will always be a place for traditional writing and textbooks, ” he says. “but we want to prepare our students for the real world. ”the project was started with the help of the government- supported charity, the e- learning foundation. it is trying to make information technology more widely used in schools. spokesman, kevin pay, says using computers improves students work speed“after all, there is no excuse for not having homework. ”1. for what purpose is the school giving each student a laptop?
