appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I"m not. I feel unsure of myself and
take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it. "Always be
a first-class version(版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else."
Then there"s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss?
If you"ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you
feel. Remember, you can"t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:
In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn"t do well. I was really good
at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I"d write on a little piece of
paper all the right answers, and hand them off.
At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn"t thinking about how it could hurt all
of us. After a while I realized I shouldn"t do that anymore, because I wasn"t really helping them. They weren"t
learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn"t helping me.
It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying
to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit (储蓄) into your PBA
and will build strength.

C. to become clear
D. to come from an imagined world
B. Don"t copy others or you can"t be the first class.
C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.
D. Don"t learn from others unless they"re excellent.
B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one.
C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.
D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.

C. one should be honest when making a deposit
D. honesty in one"s actions can help him in the future

holiday shopping online, make sure you"re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation (感觉)
of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise
decisions-those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.
Psychologists have known that one person"s perception (感知) of another"s "warmth" is a powerful
determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either "warm" or "cold" is a primary consideration,
even trumping evidence that a "cold" person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early
childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies" conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped
by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in
1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth "mother" rather than one made of wire, even
when the wire "mother" carried a food bottle. Harlow"s work and later studies have led psychologists to
stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults
with normal social skills.
Feelings of "warmth" and "coldness" in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide
study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as "warm" or "cold" is common to many cultures,
and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.
To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment
which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study"s hypotheses (假
设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out
a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the
personality of "Person A" based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink
regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink. "We are grounded in our physical
experiences even when we think abstractly," says Bargh.
B. the psychology lessons he has
C. his physical feeling of coldness
D. the things he has bought online
B. babies need warm physical contact
C. caregivers should be healthy adults
D. monkeys have social relationships
B. write down their hypotheses
C. fill out a personal information form
D. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively
B. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide
C. physical temperature affects how we see others
D. capable persons are often cold to others
B. Experiments of Personality Evaluation.
C. Developing Better Drinking Habits.
D. Physical Sensations and Emotions.
volatile compounds, chemicals that easily change from a liquid to a gas. A flower"s sweet smell, for example,
comes from volatile compounds that the plant produces to attract insects such as bugs and bees.
Plants can also detect volatile compounds produced by other plants. A tree under attack by hungry insects,
for instance, may give off volatile compounds that let other trees know about the attack, In response, the other
trees may send off chemicals to keep the bugs away-or even chemicals that attract the bugs’ natural enemies.
Now scientists have created a quick way to understand what plants are saying: a chemical sensor (传感器)
called an electronic nose. The "e-nose" can tell compounds that crop plants make when they"re attacked.
Scientists say the e-nose could help quickly detest whether plants are being eaten by insects, But today the only
way to detect such insects is to visually inspect individual plants. This is a challenging task for managers of
greenhouses, enclosed gardens that can house thousands of plants.
The research team worked with an e-nose that recognizes volatile compounds. Inside the device, 13 sensors
chemically react with volatile compounds. Based on these interactions, the e-nose gives off electronic signals
that the scientists analyze using computer software.
To test the nose, the team presented it with healthy leaves from cucumber, pepper and tomato plants, all
common greenhouse crops. Then the scientists collected samples of air around damaged leaves from each type
of crop. These plants had been damaged by insects, or by scientists who made holes in the leaves with a hole
punch (打孔器).
The e-nose, it turns out, could identify healthy cucumber, pepper and tomato plants based on the volatile
compounds they produce. It could also identify tomato leaves that had been damaged. But even more impressive,
the device could tell which type of damage – by insects or with a hole punch – had been done to the tomato
leaves.
With some fine tuning, a device like the e-nose could one day be used in greenhouses to quickly spot harmful
bugs, the researchers say. A device like this could also be used to identify fruits that are perfectly ripe and ready
to pick and eat, says Natalia Dudareva, a biochemist at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. who studies
smells of flowers and plants. Hopefully, scientists believe, the device could bring large benefits to greenhouse
managers in the near future.

B. They fixed 13 sensors inside the device.
C. They collected different damaged leaves.
D. They made tests on damaged and healthy leaves.
B. spot the insects quickly
C. distinguish different damages to the leaves
D. recognize unhealthy tomato leaves

worry that it may be "running out of control". This idea is dangerous.
Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending
on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science.
But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are
likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the
best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.
Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections (反对), whatever is
scientifically possible will be done-somewhere , sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in
the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from
making efforts to build a safer world.
In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure
to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of "controlling" science in this
century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists
on its possible huge impact (影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research
and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.
Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only
through the untied efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can
science best serve mankind in the future.
B. People hold mixed opinions about science.
C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.
D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.
B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.
C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.
D. People will work more actively to put science under control.
B. the ties between different areas need strengthening
C. united efforts are necessary for the development of science
D. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science
B. The development of science mostly lies in people"s attitudes.
C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.
D. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.
danger today because of Google"s new tracking system. In a motion (提案), they also warned that the system
offers live tracking of mobiles through a website and called on Google to examine the service.
The Latitude system can find where a user is. This is then broadcasted live to Google"s website. Once the
service is activated, the position of a person"s phone appears as a blue dot on a map on the screen of whoever
is allowed to monitor (监控) them. The Latitude feature is being developed by Google as a "fun" way to "keep
tabs on someone special". More than a million users around the world have already signed up to the service,
Google claims.
However, concerns have been raised about the system. MPs have written to Google demanding extra
security (安全) safeguards on the service.
Mr. Brake, one of the MPs who raised the motion, said,"In Britain, we have a tradition of fighting for our
freedom. With this new system we face a threat to it. I demand MPs to support this motion and encourage the
Government to take action to ensure that Latitude does not represent a threat to our privacy. or our freedom
could be in danger."
Google today insisted there was no threat to privacy.It said it was up to users to decide whether to make
their location visible to other people and to decide who could monitor their position.The service was designed
to help people keep in touch.
However, human rights watchdog Privacy International analyzed the service and claimed it was open to
abuse (滥用). Its report claimed employers could supply employees with phones already set up to use the
service without their knowledge, or that users could simply sign up their partner"s or child"s mobile phone
without telling them.
B. they have required Google to examine the service
C. they hope that the Government will take some measures
D. they are trying to get help from other countries
B. support
C. test
D. monitor
B. They think it is fun and can help them keep in touch.
C. They can get it at a lower price.
D. It"s convenient to travel across the world.
B. polite
C. doubtful
D. positive
Outside of class, the most natural way of finding out if you are making mistakes is from other people"s
responses. If the mistakes are too serious, your listeners will be asking you all the time what you mean. If
they are not so serious, then people may be asking you whether you said such and such. That will tell you
how close you are to speaking "cogently".
Of course, there are other times when it is important to have errors pointed out. Your class assignments
(作业) are probably marked in this way, in which case you need to spend time going over them to take
advantage of the individual feedback. In some classes the teacher gets better and better at grammar because
she does all the corrections, but the students make slow progress if, when an assignment is returned, they
quickly stuff it into their folders without looking.
You are the person who should be connecting your error, even if the marker has signaled them, when
you look at them; there are some steps to work through. One distinction that has been made about learners"
language is this. You make mistakes about rules that you already know but you make errors about points
you haven"t learned yet. In other words, you can find your own mistakes, but not your errors. First, make
sure you understand what you have written or said, or your correction will simply be another stab at the
right answer. Next, decide on the best way of practicing the correct form. Would it help you to write out
the sentence once more? Can you make up another similar sentence? Then you could test yourself in a few
days time to see whether you have remembered the right form, anyone can get it right immediately after
being told. He challenge is to remember it and apply it later.
B. speaking is the only way to correct mistakes
C. getting and using responses is important
D. errors can be easily corrected
B. By practicing the correct forms.
C. From the teacher"s getting better and better at grammar.
D. From your listeners responses.
B. they have remembered the right form
C. they hardly pay attention to their marked assignments
D. they decide on the best way of practicing the correct form
B. Writing out the sentence once more.
C. Learning your mistakes by heart.
D. Correcting your mistakes and writing down the teacher"s words.
