They were a happy family: four daughters were all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued to her mother’s skirts．Their three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.

One Friday, Janice's mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice," My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me, so I have no choice, I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her? I want to be sure everything goes well for her."

I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, I'd like to help. Janice’s mother thanked me for our understanding.

On Monday morning, expecting a tearful anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, “Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids. But Mother needs to be with me. You see there won’t be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she is away, I'll just ride the bus every day. I am five, you know.”

Competition in the workplace can be a good thing for a number of different reasons. On the other hand, competition can also have some disadvantages, though. Some industries tend to be more competitive in the workplace than others. For instance, those in the sales field will typically be more competitive with co-workers than individuals in other fields, such as information technology. Nevertheless, a little competition in even the least competitive industries can be positive.

Competition in the workplace can create an environment where employees push each other to exceed their normal limits, which can result in increased production, both at an individual level and among the entire workforce as a whole. As individual production numbers increase, so do those of the entire team of workers who seek to outdo one another. Competition can be rewarded with bonuses or various types of rewards.

Workplace competition can also inspire a commitment to self-improvement. While financial motivations and bonuses are always a plus to get the competition going, those who see the bigger picture may take the competition as an opportunity to better themselves in the process of winning the competition. Self-improvement may include actions like changing work habits to be more organized, using visualization and goal setting to achieve goals and simply performing higher quality work.

Not all competition in the workplace necessarily has to take place at the individual level. Competition can bring about a sense of teamwork in the workplace when workers are placed in groups and asked to compete with one another, which can have a number of positive results that come from workers cooperating with each other. For example, workers can learn the value of communication and helping someone else, both of which have an influence on other areas of work like customer service.

28.What does the underlined word “exceed” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Life B. Cancel

C. Break through D. Set up

29.Which industry is likely to involve more workplace competition?

A. The sales field B. Film Production

C. Customer service D. Information technology

30.How can competition contribute to employees’ self-improvement?

A. It changes their lifestyles greatly B. It assists them to achieve a higher goal

C. It improves their financial management D. It offers them chances to change for the better

31.What is the best title for the text?

A. Benefits of Workplace Competition

B. Reasons for Joining in Competitions

C. Approaches to Winning Competition

D. Strengths and Weaknesses of Competition

D

China plans to launch 156 small satellites by 2025 to provide Internet services in low signal areas and places with adverse natural environment, according to China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).

Due to environmental conditions of deserts, mountains and seas, half of the world's population has no access to the Internet, and the information deficiency hampers local development.

It will be China's first broadband Internet access system with small satellites hovering in low orbit, which will also help meet the needs of commercial space development.

The project, named Hongyun, plans to send the first satellite by 2019, and launch four more by 2020. By the end of 2025, CASIC plans to have all of the 156 satellites in operation.

The Hongyun Proiect, which focuses on communication, remote sensing and navigation, can offer communication and Internet services for China and less-developed 3 countries with reduced latency. Meanwhile, the project can also benefit emergency communication, sensor data collection and remote control of unmanned equipment.

Currently, international maritime satellites are widely used in communications in mountainous areas and airplanes, but those satellites, 36, 000 kilometers above the Earth, have time and signal delay as well as high cost for providing services.

The small satellites sent by the Hongyun Project will hover in low orbits only hundreds of kilometers to 1, 000 kilometers above the Earth, and thus could improve the Internet access. However, the low orbit satellites may face challenges in power supply, as they need more energy to reduce the influence of air-resistance compared to high orbit satellites. Experiments are needed to determine whether solar energy alone is enough.

32. According to the passage, ________________.

A. 156 satellites will be launched by the Hongyun Project by 2020

B. international maritime satellites can cause signal delay

C. The Hongyun Project may not encourage commercial space development

D. low orbit satellites are currently used widely in communications in mountainous areas

33. The underlined word “hampers” in Paragraph2 probably refers to ________.

A. accelerates B. determines C. prevents D. promotes

34. Which of the following is not included in the Hongyun Project?

A. Communication and Navigation.              B. Remote sensing.

C. Data collection.              D. Solar energy.

35. Low orbit satellites need more energy in order to________.

A. provide more accurate data              B. improve the Internet access

C. reduce the effect of air-resistance              D. face more challenges

Many people believe that there is some truth in the saying Laughter is the best medicine. 36 Laughter helps relieve pain, strengthen the immune system and reduce stress. Laughter stimulates(激发) hormones which make us feel happy. Laughter also increases the flow of blood throughout the body and has benefits which are similar to the ones you get by doing exercise.

37 Children exposed to funny films and cartoons before major medical procedures are able to cope better with pain and anxiety. 38 . These are professional clowns who are sent to hospitals and wards to entertain and distract sick children.

Laughter therapy has become very popular in recent years and as a result, more and more laughter clubs are starting to open up in cities and towns all over the world. At a laughter session, a trained therapist instructs the group to perform a series of exercises which are designed to produce laughter. 39 And it takes them some time to get rid of their inhibitions（心理抑制）.They might even start off with fake laughter, but this doesn’t matter because our bodies can’t tell the difference, and the results are the same. Moreover, laughter is contagious（传染的). 40

So next time you feel ill, stressed out or depressed, try watching a funny film or try remembering an amusing incident in your life. You will soon feel better.

A. If one person starts giggling, it is unavoidable that everyone else will be drawn in.

B. Laughter helps you focus.

C. This finding has led to so-called clown doctors.

D. In fact, research done by scientists has shown that laughter has a lot of health benefits.

E. Laughter makes the world a better and more colorful place.

F. Some people may find the idea embarrassing at first.

G. Using laughter therapy in children’s hospitals has proven to be invaluable.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项填入空白处。In all our lives we must make choices. You make choices from the time you get out of bed in the morning until you go to sleep at night. What time to get up? What to wear? What to eat? You also make more significant choices when you graduate from high school. 36. College? Technical training?

No matter the size of the decision, the common thread in all of them is that they involve an opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is your next best alternative—your second choice. For example, it’s a Saturday night, and you are trying to decide among going to the movies, hanging out at a friend s house or going to the football game. 37. What is your second choice? If it is the football game, then that is your opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost is important. When you make a certain choice, it forces you to think more critically about ail of the abandoned choices. By recognizing opportunity cost, you can decide whether your decision is worth it.

38. As a high school senior, you face several options, including going to college, going to technical school, or going to the work force. If you choose college, the opportunity cost is losing what could have been purchased or saved with the money spent on tuition（学费）, housing, books, etc. for four years. 39. You would also lose four years’ worth of income and experience that you could have earned if you had gone straight to work.

However, it is still the case that college graduates earn more than high school graduates. And the unemployment rate among college graduates is less than that of high school graduates. 40. But, like all decisions, it is one that should be arrived at only after looking at the costs—including the opportunity cost一and considering the follow-up question: is it worth it?

A. Will you go straight to work?

B. What causes opportunity cost?

C. But that’s not the end of the costs.

D. Suppose you decide to go to the movies.

E. If you give up college, what do you lose?

F. A perfect example is the decision to go to college.

G. For many students, going on to college is a wise decision.

You told me every year some interesting music events are held in your school. I know you are a music lover and have organized many music events. Would you please introduce some to me? Besides, could you give me some suggestions about how to organize my school’s music festival?

I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

M: Yes, it feels my skin is many years younger. Some of my wrinkles are even going away. Do you want to try it?

W: Well, I’m only sixteen years old. I don’t think I need to feel younger.

M: But I’ve noticed your face is very oily sometimes, and that other times it’s very dry. This mud is sure to help you with that. It clears up your skin and leaves your face looking bright and fresh.

W: I’ll try it. I’ve been feeling bad about my looks lately. Maybe this will help! (16)
