be flung（扔） out the window by anyone, but coaxed(劝诱) downstairs a step at a time. the chances of successfully changing negative behavior 36 when you make gradual changes that give you time to _ 37 _ negative patterns forpositive ones. on any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and _ 38 _ to begin to change agiven behavior today. whether it be exercising more, drinking less, managing time 39 orsome other change in a negative behavior, we start out with high 40 . in a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing 41 it was they thought they shouldnt be doing. after considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not 42 if they start with the change itself. 43, they believe that we must 44 a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that 45 change. once you have analyzed all the factors that 46 what you do ,you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you. according to the psychologist albert ellis, most47 problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to 48 when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. for example, suppose after doing 49 on an exam, you say to yourself, “i can not believe i failed that easy exam . iam so stupid.”by changing this irrational “catastrophic” self-talk into rational, 50 statements about what is really going on, you can increase the 51 that positive behaviors will occur. positive self-talk might be 52 as follows: i really didnt study enough for the exam. i justneed to prepare for the next 53”.such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from 54 and take positive steps to correct the situation. some other technique like purposefully 55 or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on (沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.36. a. decline b. remain c. disappear d.

sugar-rush of fun thats guaranteed to entertain the entire family.with some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, robots is the best animated film (动画片) since the incredibles. yep, it really is that good.set in a world populated by robots, ewan mcgregor plays rodney copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.but after arriving in robot city, his hopes of getting a job at bigweld industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil ratchet (greg kinnear).egged on by his controlling mum, madame gasket (jim broadbent), ratchet plans to reduce half of robot citys citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. as he says, “why be you when you can be new?”aided by a few misfit robots known as the rustlesincluding robin williams as the cowardly (胆小的）fender (“im made of a metal called afraidium”)rodney must track down the firms founder, bigweld (mel brooks), and convince him to save the city from ratchets plans.the first thing thatll strike you about the movie is the thought thats gone into creating robot city. its a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.also terrific are the special effects. this might be an animated movie but at times youll catch yourself thinking its really a live-action film.of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see shark tale, for example).but robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.my only complaints are with williams who, as usual，has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. also a letdown is a romantic subplot between rodney and a shapely robot called cappy (halle berry) that doesnt go anywhere. complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel thatll have you bolted firmly to your seat.best quote(引述): fender: “even though you had a discouraging day, just remember theres another one coming tomorrow.” best bit: check out those amazing images. worst bit: robin williams, character does an unfunny britney spears dance routine.if you likedice age, the incredibles, toy story. youll like this.56、this piece of writing is a _.acommercial advertisementbfilm reviewcmovie posterdliterary essay57、the cast of robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses except _.aewan

classified among group 1,or top, human carcinogens (致癌物质), said the international agency for research on cancer (iarc), which is the world health organizations (who) cancer agency, on oct 17,2013. the most widely used system for classifying carcinogens comes from the iarc, which places them into five groups. group 1 carcinogens definitely cause cancer in humans. group 2a is probably carcinogenic to humans, group 2b is possibly carcinogenic, the carcinogenicity of group 3 in humans is unclassifiable, and group 4 is probably not carcinogenic to humans. only a little more than 100 are classified as group 1 cancer-causing substances, including ultraviolet radiation and tobacco smoke.“our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air pollutants,” the larcs dana loomis said in a statement. “the results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction: the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution.” in 2010, lung cancer resulting from air pollution killed 223,000 people worldwide, and there was also convincing evidence that it increases the risk of bladder (膀腕) cancer, according to the iarc.air pollution is already known to raise risks for a wide range of illnesses, including respiratory and heart diseases. air pollution is global, although the levels of it vary over space and time. loomis said people in asia, eastern north america, some places in central america and mexico, as well as north africa have relatively high exposure. developing countries with large populations and booming manufacturing sectors, such as china, are particularly at risk. many cities in china, such as beijing, frequently see smog. this week, harbin, the capital city of heilongjiang province, became the first chinese city to officially suspend classes due to serious smogmany developed countries face similar problems, although to a lesser degree than most developing nations. in europe, levels of many pollutants have fallen. but between 91 and 96 percent of europeans living in cities are exposed to levels of pm2.5tiny particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometersthat are higher than the who safety limits, says a report published by the european environment agency on oct 15. although both the composition and levels of air pollution can vary dramatically from one location to the other, the 1arc said its conclusions apply to all regions of the world.“given the scale of the exposure affecting people worldwide, this report should send a strong signal to the international community to take action without further delay,” said christopher wild, director of the iarc.59、what might be the best title of the passage?asignals of air pollutionbsafety limits of air pollutioncair pollution, cancer riskdair pollution, smog risk60、whats the main task of iarc?ato focus on cancer-causing substances.bto evaluate the air quality.cto study the developing risk of cancer.dto send signals to the

developing countries are exposed to air pollution.cdeveloped countries face air pollution, the level of which is higher than the safety limits.da large number of people worldwide are exposed to air pollution.cfirst lady michelle obama turns 50 on friday, jan. 17, 2014.michelle obama has spent the first half-century of her life breaking barriers and checking off a series of firsts. now, as she reaches her milestone birthday friday, the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark. five years after moving into the white house, and without a re-election campaign to worry about, she has more room to relax in her role and, political watchers say, possibly become more vocal (声音的) on political issues in the three years left in office. so far, critics have complained about michelles silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice: last year, at the start of her husbands second term, she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre (残杀) at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, conn. she also disappointed some feminists (女权主义者) who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nations “mom-in-chief.” nor did she handle racial issues during her second term, as some had expected.“the most important thing to remember is, whether you are black, white or hispanic, youre the first lady and the president of all the people in the united states. thats a huge melting pot, so to reinforce (强化)that shes african american over anything else would not be wise,” said anita mcbride, who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies (遗产) of americas first ladies and their historical influence at american university. valerie jarrett, a top white house adviser and a close friend of the obamas, said the first lady doesnt want to “spread herself too thin.” “she really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,” jarrett told the associated press. “that, she said, “is better than trying to take on e
