Best of all, it is free!Its “no”.What do you ask? Well say it again: “No”.Sweet and simple “no”.Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.“Saying no to others means you are saying yes to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we cant say no.” Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving no than an obligated(强制的) yes, ” she said. Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying no My advice is to say yes only if you dont mean no.” Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “nos” greatest friend.“No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.“No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying no isnt easy. But finally its greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.But, he also warns: “Dont go to extremes. Dont find yourself saying no to everything. In return you should learn to hear no.”1 The sentence “Saying yes to yourself” means _.A. you can have more time to play with othersB. you neednt care about others feeling if you are happyC. you are selfish and treat others rudelyD. you can deal with your business as you have planned2 When you say “no” to others you should say it in a _.A. secret wayB. polite wayC. proud wayD. guilty way3In Watsons opinion, people can save much time on condition that _.A. they say “no” at a suitable timeB. they say “no” as much as possibleC. they are afraid of saying “no” D. they make others angry at them4If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _.A. enjoys a wonderful lifeB. makes a lot of moneyC. faces difficulty in lifeD. forgets to say “yes” in the endBWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.1 What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city. D.

Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV. In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. Theres a wide choice- everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news. If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109, so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the weeks best bargains. But should you drive or take the train ? To answer the question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. Its very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that its being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.London has already had three services. One, transmitted（传输）by ITV, is called ORACLE, while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX, because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.1What is unusual about the mew magazine in London? AYou can find any subject you want in it.BNo paper is used to print the magazine.CThere 1,000 page numbers in the index.DThe speed of transmitting is astonishing.2Its clearly seen from the passage that _.Ait takes long for the service of the magazine to be updatedBmost of the postmen will be out of work somedayCthe readers can get all kinds of information without leaving homeDeveryone can read the magazine if there is a television at hand3According to the passage, the “decoder” is used to help people to _.

Aa new magazine printed in London Ba popular TV program with three services Ca great breakthrough in printing D. an up-to-date way of keeping up to date第II卷（非选择题）四、阅读填空根据课文内容填空There are two main types of advertisements commercial advertisements and 1 service advertisements (PSAs).
