      Some scientists are   3   about building whole cities under huge glass domes (圆顶).   4   , advanced
heating and cooling systems will be   5   to control the weather in the domes.   6  , there will never be any  7     or snow,and the temperature will always be     8     .
      Perhaps everyone willlive in vertical(垂直的) cities-high rises      9      are so large that they can

     Are you carrying too much on your back at school? Lots of kids at the same age are as you are.
     Not only are students in China     1     from this problem,but kids in the United States are     2     fed
up with(饱受……之苦) heavy school bags.
      Experts are starting to     3      that more and more young students are having back and neck problems
as a result of school bags     4     too heavy for them.
     "It"s hard for me to get up the     5      with my bag because it"s so heavy," said Rick Hammond,     6   
ll-year-old student in the US.
      Rick is among the students who have      7      backpacks(背包) with two straps(带子) to carry them,     8      a number of other students choose rolling backpacks.
     But even with rolling backpacks,    9    up stairs and buses with them is     10     a problem for kids.
Many of them have hurt their knees,backs or necks because of heavy school bags.
      But how much is too   11 ? Experts say students should carry     12      more than 10 to 15 percent of
their own body weight.
      Scott Bautch,a Wisconsin     13     docotor,said kids under4th grade should     14      within 10 percent. But it"s also important that older kids don"t go     15     15 percent,because their bones are still growing.
     Bautch explained that there are other injuries caused by backpacks. "Kids are     16     their balance
and falling down with these backpacks,"he said.
      Parents and teachers are starting to tell the kids to only take     17      library books they will be reading
that night.Some teachers are using worksheets (作业纸) or    18    workbooks for students to take home.
      One of the best answers is,as some     19      themselves suggested, to have no homework    20    !

                                                        The Cost of Higher Education
     Individuals(个人) should pay for their higher education.
     A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates eam more than
non-graduates.Meanwhile,social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However,only
some people have it. So the imli-
vidual,not the taxpayers,should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources(资源) of the
government.  Using taxpayers" money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future
is not one of them.
     Full govemment funding(资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish
university whose teachers lived off student fees.  He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford,
where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the govemment.  Guaranteed salaries,Smith argued,were the enemy of hard work;and when the academics were lazy and incompetent,the
students were similarly lazy.
      If students have to pay for their education,they not only work harder,but also demand more from their
teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied.  If that means taking teachjng seriously,and giving less time to their own research interests,that is surely something to celebrate.
         Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济) .  Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth,but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs.  If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because
graduates are economically productive,you should also believe that the government should pay part of
business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the govemment to
invest. Therefore,it is the individual,not the govemment,who should pay for their university education.
1. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. taxpayers                                  
B. pressing calls
C. college graduates                          
D. govemment resources
2. The author thinks that with full govemment funding _____.
A. teachers are less satisfied                  
B. students are more demanding
C. students will become more competent  
D. teachers will spend less time on teaching
3. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to____.
A. argue against free university education    
B. call on them to finance students" studies
C. encourage graduates to go into business        
D. show their contribution to higher education

                                                "Happiness Advantage" Effect
     In July 2010 Burt"s Bees, a personal-care products company, was going through enormous
change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries. In this kind of high-pressure situation,
many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their in-boxes with urgent
demands. In doing so, managers lift everyone"s anxiety level, which activates the part of the brain
that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex ( 大脑皮层), which is
responsible for effective problem solving.
     Burt"s Bees"s then-CEO, John Wolfgang, took a different approach. Each day, he"d send out an
e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing. He"d interrupt his own
presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company"s values. He asked
me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort.
As one member of the senior team told me a year later, Wolfgang"s emphasis on developing positive
leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully transformed the
company into a global one.
     That outcome shouldn"t surprise us. Research shows that when people work with a positive
mind-set (思维模式), performance on nearly every level-productivity, creativity, involvement-
improves. Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance. For one, most
people believe that success comes before happiness. "Once I get a promotion, I"ll be happy," they
think. Or, "Once I hit my sales target, I"ll feel great. "But because success is a moving target-as
soon as you hit your target, you raise it again-the happiness that results from success does not last
long.
     In fact, it works the other way around: People who have a positive mind-set perform better in
the face of challenge. I call this the " happiness advantage"-every business outcome shows
improvement when the brain is positive. I"ve observed this effect in my role as a researcher and
lecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success. And I"m not
alone: In an analysis of 225 academic studies, researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect
relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes.
     Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics, our environment, or a combination of
the two determines how happy we are. To be sure, both factors have an impact. But one"s general
sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable. The habits you form, the way you interact with
colleagues, how you think about stress-all these can be managed to increase your happiness and
your chances of success.

    The Amazon rainforest covers 2.5 million square miles. It is the largest remaining tropical forest in the
world.It gets more than nine feet of rain each year.
    The Amazon is in South America. Almost two-thirds of the rainforest is in Brazil but it also stretches
across parts of Guyana,Venezuela,Colombia,Suriname,French Guiana,Peru,Ecuador and Bolivia.
    The first Europeans to discover the Amazon were Spanish,who found it while searching for gold and
silver tobring back to their king. The first people they met in the rainforest were female warriors,so
Francisco de Orellanamed the river after a Greek myth about women warriors called "Amazons".
   Even if the Amazon makes up only two percent of the earth"s surface area,it is where more than half of
theworld"s plant and animal species are
. The Amazon has 60,000 types of plants,1,000 species of birds
and 300 typesof other animals. Jaguars,piranhas and pink freshwater dolphins are just a few of the animals that live in the Amazon rainforest.
    Because the Amazon is so large and____,it helps the world breathe a little easier by changing
carbondioxide into oxygen. The Amazon is also home to thousands of undiscovered plants and animals
that might be used
to cure diseases,like AIDS,one day. But uncontrolled development and forest fires are hurting the
Amazon.
