阅读理解。     Winter"s short days are more than cold. For many people, winter depression, the most common type
of Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD), is as much a part of the reason as hats and scarves (围巾).
     Winter serious SAD sufferers may need medical treatment. Those feeling a little blue can help themselves
by sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips:
     Pace yourself. Don"t expect to do everything you normally can. Set a realistic schedule. Don"t listen to
negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail.
     Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like you"ve achieved something. For example,
play table tennis or badminton.
     If you are feeling depressed, you may feel like staying away from friends. Yet this is a time when a
friend"s support can be helpful. Call them regularly. Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a
friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship.
     Think clearly about what"s wrong or right. Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at
your problems objectively. Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on.
    Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression.
    Eat well. Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain(keep) a healthy body and mind. The
vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients found in a balanced diet may help our bodies to produce feel-good
hormones (荷尔蒙).Foods containing chemicals to help produce feel-good hormones include bananas,
turkey, nuts and seeds. Eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day. P.S.Symptoms (症状)
of SAD: No interests or pleasure in things you used to enjoy Increased need for sleep A change in eating
habits, especially an appetite for sweet or starchy (含淀粉的) foods Weight gain A heavy feeling in the

阅读理解。     If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to
your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
     If you say to your children "I am sorry I got angry with you, but .."what follows that"s but" can make the
apology ineffective. "I had a bad day" or "your noise was giving me a headache" leaves the person who has
been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
     Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say "I"m sorry you"re
upset"; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person
has done.
     Then there is the general, all-covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that
was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again.
Saying "I"m useless as a parent" does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
     These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish
to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-
apologies.
     But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition (悔悟), children still need help to become
aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children
feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-
year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children"s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old
might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing
a parent"s clothes without permission is not. 1. According to the author, "tricky" means ____. A. simple
B. complicated
C. cautious
D. various 2. It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because ____. A. it is only an empty promise
B. it is not necessary
C. it is neither clear nor effective
D. it is hurtful and insulting 3. In teaching children to say sorry ____. A. parents should set them a good example
B. parents should be patient and tolerant
C. the significance of it should be involved
D. their ages should be taken into account 4. According to the passage, apologizing properly is ____.A. a social issue calling for immediate attention
B. a big problem faced by every family
C. a sign of social progress
D. not as simple as it seems

     Many Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends. Many of these events are noisy. People shout
and sing. They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight. They kiss their husband or
wife or the person they are with. They dance to music. Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home.They drink
Champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year.
     Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year"s Eve celebrations.This can lead to tragic results if a person
drinks too much and then drives a car. The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accidents
during the holiday.

among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Year"s Eve celebrations. Then this designated driver

hold these First Night celebrations. Artists in Boston Massachusetts started the tradition of First Night celebrations.

阅读理解。     The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in
1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born.
Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the
final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big
Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs
are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.
     For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which come true because many of the programs cost nothing
to make. At some point, the television viewers (观众) are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply
to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most
popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show, a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV
viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the
record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of
newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
     But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they
showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called "rubbish
TV" and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was
