I've often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It
seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever
have.
My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote
mountain hut(棚屋)in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and
needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and
lakes with floating icebergs.
The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It
snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn't leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we
walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio
did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We
got acute cabin fever(幽居病)and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the
weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled
pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.
From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of
psychotherapy(心理治疗)to get to the same point.
Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not
altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys
were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to
develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.
24. The writer went to Iceland to .A. enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergs B. collect materials for psychological research
C. challenge the high mountains there D. take photos about the region for a book
25. During the trip in Iceland, the difficulties those travelers faced are the following EXCEPT .
A. They were short of food and fuel B. They got lost in the mountain
C. They couldn't see the surroundings clearly D. They failed to get in touch with the rescue team
26. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.
B. The travelers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.
C. The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.
D. In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Certain Kinds of Travel Experiences That I Ever Have
B. An Unforgettable and Inspiring Adventure
C. My Trip to Iceland
D. Solve Problems in New Ways
C
When it comes to medical care, many patients and doctors believe "more is better." But what
they do not realize is that overtreatment-too many scans, too many blood tests, too many
procedures-may bring harm. Sometimes a test leads you down a path to more and more testing, some
of which may be attacking, or to treatment for things that should be left out.
Terrence Power, for example, complained that after his wife learned she had Wegener's disease,
an uncommon disorder of the immune system(免疫系统), they found it difficult to refuse testing
recommended by her doctor. The doctor insisted on office visits every three weeks, even when she
was feeling well. He frequently ordered blood tests and X-rays, and repeatedly referred her to
experts for even minor complaints. Even when tests came back negative, more were ordered, and she
was hospitalized as prevention when she caught a cold. She had as many as 25 doctor visits during
one six-month period. The couple was spending about $30,000 a year for her care.
After several years of physical suffering and near financial ruin from the medical costs, the
couple began questioning the treatment after discussing with other patients in online support groups.
"It's a really hard thing to determine when doctors have crossed the line," Mr. Power said. "You think she's getting the best care in the world, but after a while you start to wonder: What is the
purpose?" Mr. Power then spoke with his own primary care doctor, who advised him to find a new
expert to oversee Mrs. Power's care. Under the new doctor's care, the regular testing stopped and
Mrs. Power's condition was stable. Now she sees the doctor only four or five times a year.
28. Which of the following was a problem for Mrs. Power during her medical treatment?
A. She had to be hospitalized for three weeks whenever she had a cold.
B. Her doctor asked her to consult other experts for her complaints.
C. When test results showed she was fine, her doctor still ordered more tests.
D. She did not have any insurance, so she became penniless.
29. When did the Powers start to doubt the treatment of Mrs. Power?
A. After they knew about the treatment of other patients.
B. After they analyzed the results of her blood tests
C. After Mrs power was cured of her illness.
D. After the new expert tested her.
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "stable" in the last paragraph?
A. not getting worse B. improper C. unchangeable D. uncertain
31. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Treatments do not always cause harmful side effects.
B. Patients tend to believe more testing is better treatment.
C. Doctors generally recommend office visits that are necessary.
D. Too much medical care may not be beneficial to patients.
D
What's safer? Using a numeric PIN code(数字密码)to unlock your smartphone or relying on a
swipe(滑动)pattern? New research suggests that, at least when someone close by could be looking
over your shoulder, you might be safer with an old-fashioned PIN.
The research by the United States Naval Academy and the University of Maryland tested what
could best secure smartphones from so-called "shoulder surfing attacks". So, if you are worried
about someone looking over your shoulder while you unlock your phone, would you be wiser to use
a PIN or a pattern? According to this research at least, the answer to that question is pretty clear.
Those who have a single observation of your screen as you unlock it with a swipe pattern will be successful in knowing it 64.2% of the time. Security can be improved somewhat by removing
lines on the pattern lock (35.3% success rate for shoulder surfers).
By comparison, the use of a six-digit PIN greatly reduces the chances for an attacker to
determine how to unlock your smartphone, with just 10.8% of attacks being successful. In tests,
viewers were able to determine the users' lock-screen patterns from up to six feet away, from a
variety of different angles, even after a single viewing.
Indeed, when it comes to safety, past research has determined that an unlock pattern is about the
same as a three-digit PIN -something I hope that none of us would rely upon.
The researchers' conclusion is that a PIN of six digits or more is the most secure de fence
against shoulder surfing attacks, and while both types of pattern lock are poor, patterns without lines
provide greater security.
Unsurprisingly, the research confirmed that phones with larger screens were found to provide
less security against shoulder surfing attacks.
32. What did the research focus on?
A. What lock-screen patterns people use. B. When shoulder surfing attacks occur.
C. Why people prefer numeric PIN codes. D. How you can unlock your phone safely.
33. What do we learn about shoulder surfing attacks?
A. They can increase our screen time. B. They are a threat to our privacy.
C. They are a kind of physical attack. D. They can be done through remote control.
34. Which of the following proves to be the safest?
A. A six-digit PIN. B. A three-digit PIN.
C. A lock-screen pattern with lines. D. A lock-screen pattern without lines.
35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Add some background information. B. Provide some advice for the readers.
C. Offer additional topic-related information. D. Summarize the previous paragraphs.

Ways to Respectfully Disagree
It's easier to agree than disagree. 36 Unfortunately, many of us either shy away completely from disagreements or lose it when things don't go our way. These tips can help keep
disagreements constructive.
Use "I" to communicate how you feel, what you think and what you want or need. 37 For
example, telling your parents "You always remind me about my housework when you know I have
much homework." has a very different tone from "I'm feeling pressured because I have a lot of
homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?"
Listen to the other's opinion. 38 That makes it more likely that he or she will do the same
for you. When the other person is talking, try to stop yourself from thinking about why you disagree
or what you'll say next.
39 This is the important thing you can do to keep a conversation on track. Of course, it's
a huge challenge to stay calm when you feel angry about something, especially if the person you're
talking to gets heated.
40 If you've ever been on the receiving end of someone's put-downs, you know how
valuable using respectful language and behavior can be. So instead of saying what you might be
thinking (That's a stupid idea!), try saying "I don't agree, and here is why."
Respect goes beyond difficult conversations, of course. Being helpful and considerate towards
family members, teachers or coaches in our everyday actions helps us establish a foundation for
those times when we might disagree.
A. Stay calm.
B. Look into the other's eyes.
C. Using "you" statements can sound aggressive.
D. Avoid putting down the other person's ideas and beliefs.
E. Then you can calmly present your case and why you disagree.
F. Being a good listener shows that you respect the other person.
G. But we can learn a lot from conversations where we don't agree.

year an English speech contest held in our school. Though my English was the best in our class and
all my classmates encouraged me to take part in the contest, but I was so shy a girl that 1 even dared
not answer questions in class. I was afraid of making mistakes in front of so many judge. At last, my
classmate Wang Ying, her English was not very good, participated in the contest and won the third
