1. When I was about to go back home, it was dark. In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was      along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. I broke the       on purpose,       that the driver might be too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?” “9 o’clock. I’ll go after this trip.”
“Then when do you come out in the morning?” I       another question.
“9 o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from       are only complaints. They complain that they       work       , that it is      to earn money, that they are bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the corporation leaders are seated,       , and enjoy the      of others’ work. It seems that they have a grievance (不满意) against everything. But this driver told me, “I find it      to be a section chief as I was before. I don’t like management work. I like driving, just for      . It’s       that I       drive without a passenger. So I can earn two or three thousand Yuan a month with ease. Any      ? Yes, I never follow an empty taxi. If it goes      , I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a       street. In this way I always get customers.
His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he        in his job. Such feelings are so       among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountains. As an ancient saying       , “Neither joy in material gains nor grieve over personal setbacks (挫折).” How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling curious when I found such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold winter night.

2. A new research of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression . The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes —and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
【小题1】Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

A．Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.

【小题2】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.

B．Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.

C．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.

D．The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.

【小题3】What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?

A．Scared	B．Disapproving.
C．Confused	D．Disinterested.

【小题4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．.Romance is a two edged sword for adults.

B．.Romance is good for young people.

C．Parents should forbid their children’s love

4. At present we will explain a very old saying that has had a great effect on rock-and-roll music. That saying is “A rolling stone gathers no moss（苔藓）”．It has several meanings. One meaning is that a person who never settles down in one place will not be successful. Another is that someone who is always moving, with no roots in one place, avoids responsibilities.
This proverb was said to be first used in the 1500s. But in the 1960s, the expression “rolling stone” became famous in the world of rock-and-roll music. It became the name of a song, a rock group and a magazine.

A British rock group is said to have taken its name from Muddy Waters' song. The Rolling Stones performed for the first time in 1962.The group's members called themselves “the world's greatest rock-and-roll band”．

In 1967, a young man named Jann Wenner started a magazine and he named it “Rolling Stone”. The magazine reported on rock music and the popular culture that the music created. By 1971, “Rolling Stone” had become the leading rock music and counterculture publication. It is still popular today.

1. It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. ___【小题1】____ But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?
Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees of your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows. ___【小题2】____ Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的） faces and isolated bodies(with faces blurred out （模糊的))that showed anger or fear. 【小题3】____
An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 【小题4】___ A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地） influences which emotion they read.
___ 【小题5】____And if you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.

A．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.

B．When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them.

C． Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.．

D．They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies

E．Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.
F．So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.
G．An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.
