China will plan to make new rules to give more controls over the growing number of blogs and webcasts.
Nowadays, advanced network technologies, such as Hogging and webcasting, are being improved to challenge the government’s ability to watch over the Internet.
Chinese government was in the middle of making new rules over Internet publishing, and blogs and websites that publishing webcasts would fall under these rules.
Government officials hope the new rules would ensure a more healthy and active Internet environment and would fully respect and protect Chinese citizens' freedom of speech. Specific details on what kind of rules would be carried out are still unknown to the public.
Despite the growing popularity, bloggers and webcasters have been unpopular with publication institutions.
In 2006, a series of cases involving bloggers who had dived into other people’s privacy and written materials ruining others’ fame urged the government to consider whether to require bloggers to use their real names when they login in.
Webcasting without copyright and illegally “copying" products from copyrighted materials have also led government officials to consider starting a nationwide check of online video broadcasting, and allow only qualified websites to continue offering webcasts.
21．What can be the best title of the passage?
A．The Increases of Blogs and Webcasts.
B．New Rules to Control Internet Publishing.
13
C．Technologies Challenge the Government.
D．The Popularity of Online Video Broadcasting.
22．Chinese government thinks current Internet environment is ______.
A．quite healthy B．less active
C． rather hopeful D．less piloted
23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Publication institutions are unhappy with bloggers and webcasters.
B．All bloggers and webcasters like to dig out other people’s privacy.
C．Webcasters are quite aware of the copyright issues while online.
D．Copyrighted materials can only be offered to qualified websites.
B
The Netherlands on Monday launched its first-ever “intelligent bicycle”，fitted with a set of electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in this country．
The intelligent bicycle runs on electricity．Its seat shakes when other cyclists approach from behind，while the handlebars do the same when obstacles appear ahead to inform cyclists to pay attention to the danger．It also has a cradle(置物架)in which a computer can be inserted，to wirelessly connect and“talk”to the bicycle through a particular application．The computer also flashes a bright signal if there is an approaching obstacle in the bicycle’s path，like a tree，or if another cyclist comes up from behind intending to pass.
A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1，700 euros to 3，200 euros per bicycle．It weighs about 55 pounds but researchers are working on making the on-board systems smaller．
‘‘Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed，”said Maurice Kwakkernaat，one of the scientists involved in the project，“The on-board system technology has already been at work in the automotive industry”．
“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle，not only for short distances，but also for longer distances，”Dutch Environment Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen said，“This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue enjoying cycling，”she said．
24．What does the text mainly talk about?
13
A．The newly-invented bicycle can warn of danger．
B．The intelligent computer runs on electricity．
C．More elderly people enjoy electronic devices．
D．The means of transportation in the Netherlands．
25．When a car appears ahead，the intelligent bicycle will_________．
A．stop by itself B．make a noise
C．warn its cyclist D．change its color
26．What do you know about the intelligent bicycle?
A．It uses gas as the fuel．
B．It is widely used now．
C．It will be lighter in weight．
D．It will be free for everyone．
27．More and more elderly people in the Netherlands______________．
A．try to invent intelligent bicycles
B．enjoy themselves by cycling
C．drive cars for longer distances
D．devote themselves to computers
C
Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this? Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness? Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is.
Many people think happiness is genetic. That’s only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers - people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence - a wildly different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.
Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage.
I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on “Happiness Leads to Profits.” Based on my article called “Positive
13
Intelligence” and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.
A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and quality-of-life improvements.
28. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to .
A. the fact that people are happy
B. the connection between happiness and educational outcome
C. the fact that people often misunderstand happiness
D. the fact that most people are average
29. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Scientists are only interested in what the average is.
B. You can choose to be happy or not.
C. The average are not happy at all.
D. Our decisions and habits have nothing to do with happiness.
30. Why does the writer mention his articles and research?
A. To advertise himself.
B. To arouse the readers’ interest.
C. To support his point about happiness.
D. To attract the readers to read his articles.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?
A. To explain what is happiness.
B. To describe the misunderstandings about happiness.
C. To show people the importance of happiness.
D. To make the point that happiness promotes business and educational outcome.

Raised by a single mother in Hartford，Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another．He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for．
“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders,” he said．“I couldn’t handle it．I didn’t care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly．
“I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly．I wasn’t used to strictness．I wasn’t used to hearing the word‘no’ ” said Wright，now 17．
Kelly，a former soldier and an equestrian (骑手)，took Wright under her wing
13
and helped him find hope in an unlikely place—on a horse．
“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole,” Kelly said．“He was hurting．He needed a place where he could express himself．The riding field became that place for him.”
For the last 30 years，Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her nonprofit，Ebony Horsewomen．The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year．By exposing those children to horsemanship，Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around．
“ We use horses as a hook to create pride，esteem and healing,” said Kelly，66．“They learn that they have ability．They just have to unlock it.”
“When you teach a child to ride a horse，they learn they are the center of their environment，”said Kelly．“Once they make that connection，they can change what happens in school，at home and in the community.”
32．Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?
A．His mother couldn’t afford the fees．
B．His parents got divorced．
C．He behaved badly at schoo1．
D．He didn’t set a life goal．
33．How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?
A．She provided him with a home．
B．She encouraged him to learn science．
C．She exposed him to the riding field．
D．She found him a better schoo1．
34．What do we know about the program Ebony Horsewomen?
A．It is intended to make money．
B．It was founded by Patricia Kelly．
C．It aims to protect the environment．
D．It serves as a shelter for homeless kids．
35．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A．Horse riding is helpful to the growth of kids．
B．Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman．
C．Horses are closely related to the environment．
D．It is hard for a kid to 1earn to ride a horse．

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit-and that can be a very annoying thing. 36 Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1. 37
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (老年性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 38 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.
2. Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose(葡萄糖)levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 39
3. Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 40 Or you can just go dancing with your friends.
A. Focus on the future.
B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C. It should be something like learning gardening.
D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E. But don't worry if our schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.
F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.
