If you haven’t seen or heard anything about Road Rage in the last few months, you’ve probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have most likely encountered aggressive driving or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.
While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 4,1907 people died on the highway last year. Of those deaths, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behaviour.
Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have certain theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of the cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percent, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space.; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and activities into the day, street levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.
You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!
Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are susceptible (easily influenced) to Road Rage, the key to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver’s rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.
小题1:The first sentence in Para 1 implies that__________.
A.one may be angered by media reports and wants to avoid them.
B.the media coined the term “Road Rage” only a few months ago.
C.Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few months.
D.people not interested in the media know little about recent happenings
小题2:The underlined “spell” in Para3 means___________.
A.relieveB.causeC.spreadD.prevent
小题3:Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?
A.Talking while driving.
B.Driving at high speed.
C.Sounding the horn when passing.
D.Shouting at another driver.
小题4:The last paragraph is intended to ___________.
A.tell people how to deal with Road Rage.
B.inform people how aggressive drivers could be.
C.show people how to control themselves when angry.
D.warn people against eye contact with another driver

The Loss of Innocence(纯真)
Innocence is such a precious gift. It’s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing. Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt-free mind. Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood.
What would the world be like if innocence were never lost? One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred (仇恨) among the world. During youth, there may be an occasional argument, even a little physical fight, but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being. And children are blind towards the racial differences of others. A kid will hang out with any other kid. It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise. Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure. With very little if any time at all for fun, the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults. If innocence were kept alive, these ambitions would never depart from our lives.
However, other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting for ever. They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general. A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn, work, and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive. Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence, people would not have the desire to succeed, get a good job in life, or provide income for their families, which would hurt the lives of children.
The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy. As long as innocence is kept alive, no one would be terribly angry at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace, resulting in a strong decline(减少) in production and quality of needed goods.
Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence. It sure is a nice thought, though. Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost. It was god"s will to make things the way they are, and there is a good purpose for everything. All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts.
小题1:The author believes that the loss of innocence in adulthood should be______.
A.avoidedB.criticizedC.acceptedD.encouraged
小题2:Lifelong innocence would be beneficial to society in that__________.
A.proper education would be provided
B.there would be no racial discrimination
C.there would be more happy families
D.people would realize their childhood dreams
小题3: According to the author, people with innocence can hurt the economy with their lack of____ .
A.motivational will
B.mental ability
C.adventurous ambitions
D.needed goods

Watching television makes it easier for toddlers(学走路的孩子)to kick and scream, according to a U.S. study. Children under two should not watch any TV. The longer they sit in front of the box, the worse their behavior becomes.
Just having the TV on in the background, even if the child wasn’t watching it, was also connected to troublemaking behavior although the relationship wasn’t as strong, said the researchers.
“Parents should be smart about TV use,” researcher Jennifer Manganello from the University at Albany, New York, said.
“They should limit the time that children use TV, pay attention to the content of TV programs, and consider how TV is used throughout the home.”
The study looked at 3,128 women from 20 U.S. cities who had a child between 2005 and 2008.
While there was some diversity(差异)of education among the women, one-third hadn’t graduated from high school.
Two-thirds of the mothers said their three-year-old watched more than two hours of TV a day, and the average(平均的)viewing time for children was around three hours. On average, the TV was on for about five additional hours on a common day.
After accounting for factors(因素)such as living in a violent neighborhood, scientists also found watching TV was strongly connected to behavior such as hitting others, having angry moods, being disobedient(不服从的), and screaming a lot.
The researchers thought that children may see violence on TV, and spend less time on positive development tasks such as reading or playing.
The American Academy of Paediatrics suggests no TV at all for children at two and younger, and two hours a day or less for older kids.
小题1:what is the main idea of the passage?
A.Children should choose positive programs.
B.Children should keep away from TV.
C.Watching TV can make children violent.
D.Parents should watch less TV.
小题2:what do we know from Paragraph 2?
A.Children can watch good programs.
B.Children will be affected as long as the TV is on.
C.It’s OK that the TV is on if children don’t watch it.
D.Children’s troublemaking behavior is mainly caused by watching TV.
小题3:what can be learned about the study between 2005~2008 from the passage?
A.The TV was on for about three hours.
B.The women studied have different jobs.
C.The study included men and women.
D.Most women allowed their child to watch TV.
小题4:Children who spend much time watching TV will ________.
A.not be hit by others
B.be influenced by others
C.become angry easily
D.know more about the neighborhood

Across the planet there are millions of people who engage in some type of meditation, the practice of concentrating and clearing the mind to bring the body into a state of peace, at least a semi-regular basis. For some, particularly among practitioners of Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, this is part and parcel of their religious practice.
For others, particularly in Western cultures, meditation tends to be a response to stress. With the world economy approaching meltdown and people worried about their job or their ability to keep their home, it’s a way for people to attain a state of peace of mind and well-being.
For those interested in taking up the practice, instruction in meditation for beginners can be found in literally thousands of sources.
One of the most popular styles of mediation in the West, with classes offered in most major cities, is called Transcendental Meditation. TM, as it is known among its practitioners, first came to worldwide attention when the Beatles began practicing it in 1967. For direct, guided, personal instruction in meditation for the beginner, TM may be the hallmark.
Part of the confusion about how to practice meditation effectively is due to the fact that there are literally hundreds of techniques championed by various groups and individuals. As a general principle, it might be said that all meditation techniques seek to have the practitioner attain a state of consciousness that is different to our ordinary state of awareness. They attempt to train people to clear their minds and achieve a sense of inner peace. It sounds simple enough, but of the huge number of people experiment with meditation, very few are able to maintain its practice over the long haul. In most cases, this is due to frustration over the inability to experience any dramatic, instantly recognizable effects.
This is quite a sad state of affairs, that so few these days are willing or equipped to persist in something that doesn’t provide immediate life-changing results. It reflects a culture in which demands for discipline and sustained effort are considered unnecessary or even unfair. It is no surprise therefore that many people abandon their efforts at meditation before they have a chance to bear fruit.
But for anyone who does decide to take up this worthwhile practice, please remember. You must clear your mind, relax and “take it as it comes”. Maintain the practice with a sense of discipline and devotion, and eventually benefits of inner peace and calm will be yours.
小题1:The underlined part “part and parcel of” in paragraph 1 is nearest in meaning to ________.
A.closely associated with B.very different to
C.usually sent from D.an important element of
小题2:The goal of meditation is ________.

B.It is practiced by many famous artists.
C.Its benefits are not immediately obvious.
D.Most people find it a very good way to relax.
小题4:According to the writer, what has attracted many Western people to meditation practices in recent years?
A.Their improved understanding of foreign culture.
B.The need to fill in their growing free time.
C.Increasing employment instability.
D.Migration from countries in which meditation is traditional.
