26、   When you were a child you had a pure (纯洁的) mind, which was free from worries and anxieties. As time passed, you were influenced by several crises (危机). 【1】 Below are some techniques which can help you keep a peaceful mind:

Mind your own business.

Focusing on things which are not related in negativity (消极). It will disturb your mental peace. So next time an unnecessary thought comes to your mind, think about whether this is really something you should be worrying about. 【2】

Surround yourself with positive people.

【3】 When someone is negative, he spreads negativity and you get affected. Always staying with such people will have long-term influence on your character. So think about your company (同伴).

【4】

Remember the great saying: Small minds discuss people; average minds discuss events; higher minds discuss ideas and great minds act in silent. Don’t allow your brain to compare yourself to others. Don’t be jealous (嫉妒的). This harms your soul and takes away your mental peace.

Ignore (忽略) your thoughts about being unlucky.

Bad luck happens to everyone. Time whether good or bad, passes quickly. 【5】 Believe in the power of now. Believe in your skills. Work hard and you will get what you feel you’re worthy of.

With these suggestions, I believe you can bring major changes in your lifestyle and get back your mental peace.

A. Don’t think about others too much.

B. If it isn’t, avoid it right away and focus on something positive.

C. Stay away from negative people.

D. Bring positive energy with you wherever you go.

E. Develop the power of not looking back into your past.

F. It is hard to keep your mind away from bad things.

G. Now your pure mind becomes impure when you are stressful.

27、Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

Perhaps the best answer lies in  our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.

Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. W ithout knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.

Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin -offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick  pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!

While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.

While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

【1】Why does the author mention the questions?

A. To express his doubts.

B. To compare different ideas.

C. To introduce points for discussion.

D. To describe the conditions on Earth.

【2】What is the reason for exploring space based on?

A. Humans are nature born to do so.

B. Humans have the tendency to fight.

C. Humans may find new sources of food.

D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place.

【3】The underlined word “spin-­offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ___.

A. survival chances

B. unexpected benefits

C. potential resources

D. physical possessions

【4】Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?

A. Space exploration has created many wonders.

B. Space exploration provides the best value for money.

C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.

D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.

28、   Life in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That's what experts in human interaction（交往）are debating（争论) after a new Stanford University survey has been published.

According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for reallife relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web's influence on daily activities. 36% of those people are online for more than five hours a week. "As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating(孤立的) effect on society," says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.

Scholars (学者)and Web lovers criticized（批评）the study for stretching its data to make the "isolating" point. While 13% of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60% reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that email is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads(网虫) spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via emails, "that's a move towards greater connectedness," says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan.

This isn't the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families' Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more "talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed," says Robert Kraut.

"It's true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented," says Thomas Putnam.

As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before, but just different.

【1】Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?

A.Robert Kraut. B.Paul Resnick.

C.Thomas Putnam. D.Amitay Etzioni.

【2】The underlined word "This" in Para. 4 refers to _______.

A.the study conducted by Stanford University

B.the survey made by the University of Michigan

C.the conclusion in a report written in 1998

D.the opinion expressed in Bowling Alone

【3】From the passage we learn that _______.

A.watching TV used to take time away from staying online

B.36 % of Web users spend more than five hours a week online

C.the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effect

D.the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions

29、   If you’ve ever tried to have a regular movie night with your family, you know that choosing a movie everyone will like can be a difficult task. The kids may be interested in the latest cartoons, while Mom would prefer a love story, and Dad has his eye on something on war. 【1】Just when it seems like most are happy with the selection, one member of the family may disagree, and then the whole process starts all over again.

In these situations, you can try the “pick system ”, which works well for some families. The pick system is surprisingly simple and useful. It works like this: each member of the family gets one pick.【2】 The only rule is that, if it isn’t your pick, you must sit through the movie that is showing, without expressing strong dissatisfaction. 【3】 And you know that the rest of the family will have to watch it with you.

【4】 However, it is a proven method that avoids all the arguing (争论). If you have kids, it’ll teach them a lesson in consideration and patience. Using the pick system, you’ll find that your kids will start choosing movies that they think will be crowd-pleasers. The reason why this happens is very simple. Imagine it’s your pick, and you choose a movie everyone in the family ends up loving.【5】These words of praise are powerful positive reinforcements (强化) — it feels great when the people we love tell us that we did a good job.

A. The system may sound a bit silly.

B. One member of the family gets to choose the movie.

C. They’ll praise you for having made such a great choice.

D. In other words, everyone takes turns to choose the movie.

E. Then, the family may spend time arguing about which movie to watch.

F. When it’s your pick, you have the right to choose whatever movie you want.

G. If that system doesn’t work, the family may give up on movie night altogether
