When Buffett was asked about the secret to his success, he said that he read every day—500 pages, to
be exact. Unfortunately, if you’re already working 9-5, you might not have the time to read at all, let alone
an entire book a day. But if you want to make some changes in your life, the following 4 most-read books
on self-improvement may help you start.
How to Stop Worrying and Start Living written by Dale Carnegie

you focus on the same problem? By finding out the reason of your stress, you can overcome this. In this
book Carnegie came up with some effective ways that can help you stop worrying about the same thing
again.

Although career success can be satisfying, ignoring your family and friends can be harmful.
Finding Your Element written by Ken Robinson

B
Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by
the sea.
Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five
meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as
damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered.
But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known
for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another
24cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a
year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking where it stands, Tuvalu's
rising sea level is caused by global warming.
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0. 5 centigrade degrees over the past century,
and scientists expect it to rise by extra 1.3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes glaciers( 冰 川 ) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer
temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level
has risen 10.25 cm in the last 100 years. Many scientists believe that if the warming is not stopped, there
will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.
Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with
"climate refugees" looking for somewhere to live.
24. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyed
B. all Tuvalu's islands are about five meters above the sea level
C. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea
D. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves
25. Why are Tuvalu and Venice used as examples?
A. because they are facing the trouble caused by global warming
B. because they are both sinking into the mud on which they stand
C. because they are the first places sinking into the sea
D. because they will disappear in the future
26. What does "climate refugees" mean?
A. Climate effect. B. Climate changes.
C. Rare animals. D. People who are forced away from their homeland by climate.
27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Tuvalu's nine little islands are less than five meters above the sea level.
B. The average global temperature has risen by 13 centigrade degrees over the past 100 years.
C. The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.
D. There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped.
C
Cities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect.
Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which
absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A
black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.
The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than
surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures
rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city
officials are going to make the city cooler.
As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and
parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the
summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures
and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can
make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.
Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will
also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops——at least those not already covered in
solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already
experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is
hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.
“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent
statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with
every day.”
28. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?
A. Planting more trees in the streets.
B. Covering the streets with white paint.
C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.
D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.
29. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?
A. How to make the city cooler.
B. Where to wear a white shirt.
C. Why to coat the roads with black paint.
D. When to cut off the electricity supply.
30. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?
A. Increasing the indoor activities.
B. Making life easier and more comfortable.
C. Reducing the number of cold days.
D. Promoting the sale of air conditioners.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.
B. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming.
C. L.A. is alone suffering extreme heat.
D. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets.
D
Famous Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping and his research team’s experiment of planting
saltwater-tolerant(耐盐的) rice in desert areas of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates(阿拉伯联合酋长国)
proved to be a success, with one type of rice producing more than 7.5 tons per hectare(公顷), Xinhua
reported.
Saltwater-tolerant rice is designed to grow in tidal flats (潮滩地) or other areas with heavy salt content.
It was the world’s first successful case of planting rice in a tropical( 热 带 的 ) desert area, standing as
China’s contribution to improving the ability of people in desert areas to be self-sufficient(自给自足的) in
main foods, a move that can protect global food security and improve the desert ecological environment.
In January, the center chose dozens of types of hybrid rice and planted them on small places of desert
areas near Dubai. After five months of growth, the center invited experts from India, Egypt, the United
Arab Emirates and other countries for evaluation, and found three types of rice producing more than 6 tons
per hectare. In June, a second evaluation will be carried out for middle-season rice.
The technology of saltwater-tolerant rice plays a key role in the success as the natural environment of
the Dubai desert is terrible for rice growth. The daytime temperatures could be as high as over 50 ℃, and
nighttime temperatures could drop by 30 ℃ . Humidity( 湿 度 ) stays below 20 percent and there are
sandstorms from time to time. The biggest challenge is the desert soil, which is low in organic matter and
unable to keep soil moisture as it is totally sand. To make it worse, sea water remains just 7.5 meters below
the soil, which makes it easy to be full of salt.
With this success, the center and the private investment office of the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai plan
to set up a 100-hectare experimental farmland in Dubai, to test the production costs and cultivation
techniques( 耕 种 技 术 ) of the saltwater-tolerant rice and prepare for promotion. The two parties will
construct a 100-hectare standard farmland in 2019 and speed up rice planting in 2020.
32. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. The tropical desert areas have done well in being self-sufficient.
B. Chinese team play a great role in planting saltwater-tolerant rice in desert areas.
C. Planting saltwater-tolerant rice can be easily achieved in many tropical desert-areas.
D. Saltwater-tolerant rice is designed to grow in areas with heavy salt content.
33. What’s the most difficult thing for rice growth in Dubai desert?
A. Its daytime temperature could be up to 50 ℃ and humidity stays below 20%.
B. It’s just 6.5 meters above the sea water and easy to be full of salt.
C. Its soil is short of organic matter and hard to keep soil moisture.
D. It is extremely expensive to conduct experiments in tropical desert areas.
34. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The natural environment is the key factor of the success of the experiment.
B. Dubai still has a lot to do before the saltwater-tolerant rice benefits other areas.
C. No evaluation will be performed again as the experiment has been successful.
D. The ruler of the Emirate of Dubai thinks little of the result of the experiment.
35. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The United Arab Emirates tries to improve the desert ecological environment.
B. The United Arab Emirates has begun to plant saltwater-tolerant rice.
C. The rice experiment is of great importance for the tropical desert-areas.
D. Chinese team succeeds in planting saltwater-tolerant rice in Dubai’s desert.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are you a happy person or an unhappy person？
If you're an unhappy person, please remember that happiness is a choice. 36 What you need to do
is to make some changes.
Unhappy people are more likely to believe that life is hard. They see themselves as victims of life
when something bad happens to them. Yes, as is known to all, life can be hard. 37
Unhappy people are more likely to believe that most people can't be trusted. They don’t think
strangers can be trusted. Unfortunately this thought slowly starts to prevent them from meeting new people.
38 In this way, you can make more friends, who can increase your happiness.
Unhappy people like comparing themselves with others and feel jealous. 39 This is wrong. Instead
you should get inspired and try to achieve more. Learn to believe in unlimited possibilities. Don't get upset
and think that somebody's luck limits your possible outcome in life.
Unhappy people consider their future with worry and fear. 40 Unhappy people fill the head space
with worry and fear. How can you be happy if you are always in worry or fear? When fear or worry crosses
your mind, ask yourself if there is an action you can take to prevent your fear or worry from happening. If
there isn't, just lay it down because worry or fear does you no good at all.
Everyone will probably swim in negative waters once in a while, but what matters is how long you
stay there. Follow the ways mentioned above and then you will be much happier.
A. But you should have a positive attitude towards life instead of complaining all the time.
B. There is only so much space between your ears.
C. Unhappiness is also a choice.
D. You can choose to be happy.
E. You should try to be kind to others in order to make more friends.
F. Instead, you should believe in the good in people and stay open and friendly towards people you
meet.
G. They believe that someone else's luck is stolen from their own.

When I was in Australia, I accompanied a friend on his driving test. I found myself 61 (amaze)
to learn that in Australia, people hardly go to driving schools. Instead, many people practice on the road
62 a licensed driver sitting next to them. But this doesn't mean that getting a driving license is a piece of
cake. This was the third time that my friend had applied to take the driving test.
The first time, after confidently driving over an intersection(十字路口), the 63 (examine)
asked him to pull over and said that he should have stopped 64 car and looked right first and then left
to make sure there was no other car approaching.
The second time, a car 65 (rush) in front caught him by surprise and he hit the brakes too hard.
The person in charge of the test got 66 (anger) and asked him to get out. In Australia, the test is not
about driving skills, 67 about following every rule.
After finally passing the test, my friend drove very 68 (careful) because in the first year of
having a driving license, running two red lights results in the license being suspended (暂停使用)．But one
day he 69 (pull) over by a policeman who warned him that he was driving too slow and blocking the
traffic. Actually, he was driving at a speed of 40 km/h, 70 is a totally acceptable speed in China.
