阅读理解。     There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has
the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International
University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for
its drawings and paintings. FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States.
You don"[t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can
call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored
in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a
few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
     Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer
artists had no place to show their works.
     A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others
to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the
computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.
     Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make
computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work
much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge
audience for the electronic museum. 1. The main purpose of this text is to give information about _____.A. museums throughout the world
B. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A.
C. art exhibitions in Florida International University
D. latest development of computer art 2. To see the art in FIU museum, you need _____. A. floppy discs
B. a computer and a printer
C. pictures and drawings on paper
D. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line3. The museum was started when _____. A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists
B. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists
C. art students needed a place to show their works
D. computer scientists wanted to do something about art 4. The words "an audience"in the last paragraph refer to _____.A. art students
B. computer owners
C. exhibits in the museum
D. those who will enjoy art

     One of the more common and destructive mental tendencies I"ve seen is that of focusing on what we want
instead of what we have.
     We want this or that. If we don"t get what we want, we keep thinking about all that we don"t have and we
remain dissatisfied. If we do get what we want, we simply recreate the same thinking in our new
circumstances. So, despite getting what we want, we still remain unhappy. Happiness can"t be found when we
are yearning (向往,渴望) for new desires.
      Luckily, there is a way to be happy. It involves changing the emphasis of our thinking from what we want
to what we have. Rather than wishing you were able to take a vacation to Hawaii, think of how much fun you
have had close to home. The list of possibilities is endless! Each time you notice yourself falling into the "I
wish life were different" trap, back off and start over. Take a breath and remember all that you have to be
grateful. When you focus not on what you want, but on what you have, you end up getting more of what you
want anyway. If you focus on the good qualities of your spouse (配偶), she"ll be more loving. If you are
grateful for your job rather than complaining about it, you"ll do a better job, be more productive, and probably
end up getting a raise anyway. If you focus on ways to enjoy yourself around home rather than waiting to
enjoy yourself in Hawaii, you"ll end up having more fun. If you ever do get to Hawaii, you"ll be in the habit of
enjoying yourself. And, if by some chance you don"t, you have a great life anyway.
      Make a note of yourself to start thinking more about what you have than what you want. If you do, your
life will start appearing much better than before. For perhaps the first time in your life, you"ll know what it means to feel satisfied.
1. Why did the author say that focusing on what we want is destructive?
A. If we don"t get what we want, we remain dissatisfied.
B. If we do get what we want, we simply recreate the same thinking.
C. If we desire what we want, we would be unhappy.
D. All of the above 
2. How do you understand the underlined expression "I wish life were different" in the second paragraph?
A. Focusing on what you want.
B. Focusing on what you have.
C. Focusing on ways to enjoy yourself around home.
D. Focusing on being able to take a vacation.
3. The passage implies that ______.
A. getting what we want, we would be happy
B. if we focus on what we have, we would have a better life
C. it is more fun than you have had close to home
D. focusing on what you want, you end up getting more of what you have anyway
4. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. If we focus on what we want, we may remain dissatisfied and unhappy.
B. Changing our thinking from what we want to what we have would make you happy.
C. Focus on the good qualities of your wife, she"ll be more loving.
D. It is more fun to around home than taking a vacation to Hawaii.

     Facebook (a social networking service) makes it far too easy to make new friends-Unfortunately, reality
is not like that.   1   The difference here is that we don"t get to choose our families; friends, on the other hand,
are picked, selected and developed through our life.
     It is quite funny how your best friends know exactly what your are thinking without even telling them.
   2   This friend"s sixth sense is something that takes time to develop through many long-lasting experiences
that your go through.
     I was once asked: which one would be the worst thing, to lose all your loved ones or to lose all your
friends?   3   I believe that I couldn"t live a day if I had lost all my friends.
      Respect, loyalty (忠诚), and support are few of the qualities that will form a good friendship. There are
many others for sure, but it is enough for you to get these. 
       4   The ability to trust someone and therefore, be trusted, can be only built with a lot of effort and time.
     I hate that ugly Facebook"s message "Add to your friends?" It is like a friends was something that you
could simply add to your "portfolio (文件夹)" without feeling.   5   
A. My answer was certainly the latter.
B. This is definitely not the way to make friends.
C. This is not something that happens overnight.
D. Life without friends is just like soup without salt.
E. We need friends to help us when we meet with difficulties.
F. Trust is also one of the major features of a good relationship.
G. Friends sometimes are just as important to us as our families.

     Science seems to be getting closer to answering a very old mystery. Homing pigeons can be   1   hundreds
of miles from their homes. When they are let to go to   2   again, they find their way home. Because of this
special ability to  3  , pigeons have been used   4   messengers for hundreds of years.
     Today people even breed homing pigeons for   5   at a sport. The birds are shipped to some chosen   6   a
few hundred miles away. Then all of them are let to go together. The winner is the bird that gets home   7  . A
good race can make it home from 500 miles away   8   a single day.
     The mystery of the homing pigeons is how they   9   directions and how they find home. The first part seems
to be pretty well   10  , and we know of two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun.
Experiments show that homing pigeons can tell    11   by the sun. What happens when the   12   is darkly
overcoat by clouds and no one can   13  where the sun is? Then the pigeons still find their way home.
     Naturally, people have wondered whether pigeons might have a built-in compass   14   that would tell them
about the direction of the  15   magnetic(磁的)field. Many different kinds of experiments were   16  . Here"s
what the scientists decided   17   they had made experiments many times. When pigeons can see the sun, they
use it as their    18  means of direction-finding. When they can"t see the sun, they use some   19  way to sense
direction from the earth"s magnetic field.
     But how do pigeons know  20   direction is toward home? What do they use that we would call a map? These are other questions to be answered.

     We like to keep our distance from others and there are very specific social rules about how close we can
go to others in particular situations. The social distances here are approximate, of course and will vary with
people. But they are still a good general rule. Hall identified four zones that are common for Americans:
     Public Zone: >12 feet. The public zone is generally over 12 feet. That is, when we"re walking around
town, we"ll try to keep at least 12 feet between us and other people. Of course there"re many times when we
cannot do this. We"ll start to notice other people who are with in this distance. The closer they get, the more
we become aware.
     Social Zone:4-12 feet. Within the social zone, we start to feel a connection with other people. When they"re
closer, then we can talk with them without having to shout, but still keep them at a safe distance. This is a
comfortable distance for people who are standing in a group but maybe not talking directly with one another.
     Personal Zone: 1.5-4feet. In the personal zone, the conversation gets more direct, and this is a good distance for two people who are talking seriously about something.
      Intimate(亲密的)Zone: <1.5 feet. When a person is within arm"s reach or closer, then we can touch them
in intimate ways. Romance of all kinds happens in this space. Entering intimate zone of somebody else can be
very threatening.
     The rules about social distances vary with different groups of people. People who live in towns spend more
time close to one another. In a large and crowded city, the distances will be less than in a small town. Different
countries also have different rules about social distances. Watch a Japanese person talking at a party with a
person from a Western country. The Japanese will step in and the Westerner will step back. Speeded up, it"s
like a dance around the room.
1. Which of the following shows how the text is organized? (①=Paragraph 1…)
2. In a less crowded place, an American usually keeps a stranger at a distance of _____ .
A. about 1.5 feet
B. less than 4 feet
C. about 2 feet
D. more than 12 feet
3. If eight people sit in a room and all of them don"t talk directly with one another, they prefer _____.
A. Public Zone
B. Social Zone
C. Personal Zone
D. intimate Zone
4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. There"re some rules about social distances
B. The Japanese are more polite than Americans
C. The rules about social distances can vary
D. Cities have fewer rules about social distances
5. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The Japanese would like to dance with people from Western countries
B. The Westerner would like to keep close to people they are talking with at party
C. The Japanese would like to keep a distance from people they are talking with at party
D. The social distance between people in small towns is longer than that in large and crowded cities.
