leaks. the hiking seemed to take forever, and i still cant understand how it could all have been up hill! how did i ever let my brother talk me into this? when we get homeif we ever get homehes going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree (狂购一气) at the mall!tuesday: things are looking up. the sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. were camped at the edge of a small lake that i couldnt see before because of the rain and fog. the mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. we spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. later in the afternoon we tried to catch fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. at night we built a fire and sang songs happily.wednesday: we hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. from there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. on the way up we passed through a snow field!thursday: i caught my first fish! we followed the stream that fed the lake. after about two miles, we came to a section that carol said looked “fishy”. she had a pack rod (竿) , which can be carried in a backpack. i asked to cast it, and i caught a fish on my first try. carol caught a few more. but they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream.friday: i cant believe we are going home already. it will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. were already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. its hard to believe, but i think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.36the writer went on this camping trip because_a. she enjoyed campingb. she wanted to go fishingc. she was influenced by her brotherd. she was tired of staying home37the whole morning of tuesday, the writer _.a. hiked along the lakeb. dried out her belongingsc. climbed the mountain d. caught fish for dinner38it can be inferred that carol had a pack rod with her because _.a. she could not afford to buy a regular fishing poleb. she needed it to get their main source of foodc. she thought the writer of the journal might need itd. she expected to go fishing while they were hiking39it is likely that the writer will _.a. go on another camping tripb. invite carol to go fishing togetherc. make her brother buy her somethingd. convince her brother to go campingb in 1890 william james, the american philosopher and physician and one of the founders of modern psychology, defined psychology as “the science of mental life” and this definition provides a good starting point for our understanding even today. we all have a mental life and therefore have some idea about what this means, even though it can be studied in rats or monkeys as well as in people and the concept remains difficult to understand.like most psychologists, william james was particularly interested in human psychology, which he thought consisted of certain basic elements: thoughts and feelings, a physical world which exists in time and space, and a way of knowing about these things. for each of us, this knowledge is primarily personal and private. it comes from our own thoughts, feelings and experience of the world, and may or may not be influenced by scientific facts about things. for this reason, it is easy for us to make judgements about psyehological matters using our own experience as a standard. we behave as amateur psychologists when we offer opinions on complex psychological phenomena. however, problems arise when two people understand these things differently. formal psychology attempts to provide methods for deciding which explanations are most likely to be correct, or for determining the circumstances under which each applies. the work of psychologists helps us distinguish between inside information, which is subjective, and may be prejudiced and unreliable, and the facts, between our predictions and what is “true” in scientifie terms.psychology, as defined by william james, is about the mind or brain, but although psychologists do study the brain, we do not understand nearly enough about its workings to be able to comprehend the part that it plays in the experience and expression of our hopes, fears, and wishes, or in our behaviour during experiences as varied as giving birth or watching a football match. indeed, it is rarely possible to study the brain directly. so, psychologists have discovered more by studying our behaviour, and by using their observations to obtain hypotheses (假设) about what is going on inside us.40the first paragraph is mainly about_.a. the founder of modern psychologyb. the definition of psychologyc. the complexity of psychologyd. the influence of psychology41from paragraph 2, we can know that problems arise because _.a. of the difference between inside information and the factsb. of different thoughts and feelings about psychologyc. people usually make judgements based on their own ideasd. amateur psychologists cannot use scientific terms42according to the passage, psychologists study the brain mainly _.a. in a direct wayb. with their own experiencec. by observing how it worksd. by watching peoples behaviour43which of the following can be the first sentence in the fourth paragraph?a. psychology is also about the ways people use their mental abilities to operate in the world around them.b. william james is considered to be the greatest psychologist in the 1890s.c. psychology suggests that living beings adapt to a changing environment so that they can survive.d. it is important for psychologists, as well as ordinary people, to be aware of the reasons.cnatasha reynolds never thought she would have a business working at home until one day she filled out a simple form online. before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the economic crisis, and being able to provide for her family while at home with her two children.in our phone interview she told me her

quickthinking cat saves house from fire., by opening the window. a clever cat has been treated as a hero after he prevented his ownershome from burning downby opening a window. fiveyearold pepper has learned to open windows and let himself out every night by jumping on to a kitchen worktop and using his paws to turn the latch (门闩). so when a fire broke while his owners were christmas shopping, the quickthinking puss jumped into action and opened the window to allow the smoke to escape. the cloud of ash alerted neighbors and firefighters rushed to the scene and extinguished the fire before it spread to the rest of the house.owner sharon white devon said：“ he first did it (opened the window) at a dinner party and everyone was applauding him. i think it encouraged him. he can climb back in through the window by jumping on to the ledge as well so he really does come and go as he pleases.” “pepper is still a bit scared by the terrible experience but is still managing to eat plenty of food.” sharon and husband phil devon got pepper over four years ago after a neighbor could no longer look after him. over the last few months, pepper has learnt to let himself out through the downstairs window by turning the metal lever 90 degrees with his paws. the dramatic fire started at 4 pm on saturday after the couple left to the shops and left their microwave on a ten minute timer, which then caught fire. sharon said: “we are thankful our neighbors did not just dismiss the smoke as a bonfire. pepper has got a real mind of his own. on this occasion were grateful as without him and our neighbors, the fire could have been so much worse.”48which of the following word doesnt refer to the cat mentioned in the passage?a. pepper b. puss c. hero d. phil49who put out the fire?a.

lived in the devons four years ago.51the passage can be classified as _.a. a news report b. a cartoon moviec. a scientific fiction d. a pet training courseeby creating a distinctive username and reusing it on multiple websites, you may be giving online marketers and scammers a simple way to track you. four researchers from the french national institute for research in computer science and control (inria) studied over 10 million usernamescollected from public google profiles, bay accounts, and several other sources. they found that about half of the usernames used on one site could be linked to another online profile, potentially allowing marketers and scammers to build a more complex picture of the users.“these results show that some users can be profiled just from their usernames，” says claude castelluccia, research director of the security and privacy research group at inria，and one of the authors of a paper on the work. “more specifically, a profiler could use usernames to identify all the profiles that belong to the same user, and then use all
