The future is time that is to come. The future is not the present or the past. It is later. We have seen many possible futures in science fiction. They range from the world’s polar ice caps melting to nuclear winters. But not all futures are this morbid. We have seen the human race spread all over our universe, humans and aliens living in harmony together all over the universe.
It is very likely that we will make some kind of breakthrough in our ability to travel through space sometime in the next 150 years. This would give us the ability to rule other planets. Ultimately, the earth will die whether it be 1,000 years or 100,000 years. We will be forced to move to another planet then. It’s really just a matter of time. When we do so, what will we discover?
Personally, I think everyone will be speaking the same language in 200 years. A world government definitely seems to be in our future. It is stable and has few wars. Indeed, the only type of wars that can happen is the civil war.
And what if we face aliens? If they are friendly, we would probably benefit a lot from putting our knowledge together. They must have advanced technology to travel for great distances. We could seriously benefit from their technology. But if they aren’t friendly, then we are in trouble. Hope that we have become advanced enough, smart enough, and generally a better race by the time we meet them. But this is all probably being discussed for nothing, because any race out there among the stars is probably as curious as we are about other creatures.
1. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ___________.
A. unpleasant B. shocking C. expected D. serious
2. What will humans do if the earth dies?
A. Humans have to face death. B. Humans will travel and live in space.
C. Humans will move to another planet. D. Humans will go back to the past time.
3. According to the author, the following statements are right about aliens EXCEPT that _________.
A. we can learn from aliens if they are friendly
B. when aliens arrive, humans will be smarter than them
C. aliens may be as curious as we human beings about other planets
D. aliens have more advanced technology than us
4. After reading the passage, we can know that the passage is based on_________.
A. scientific facts B. time and space
C. advanced technology D. the author’s imagination

Body language is the quietest, most secret and most powerful language of all. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only do 7%. So while your mouth is closed, just it is your body language that is saying.
When it comes to body language at the office, you may be making some big mistakes that could cause you trouble. The following are some tips on what you should not do when using body language at your office.
Don’t touch your co-workers, even if it’s on the back of the arm or shoulder. Many of your co-workers are not comfortable with any body contact(接触)with others. Be careful not to touch everyone at your office.
Don’t avoid eye contact. Eyes can speak. Lack of eye contact means cheat, and it can also point to no safety or lack of confidence. Trust and confidence are things you will communicate to the other person if you hold eye contact 50% of the time.
Don’t have a bad handshake. You’re going to show your kindness at once with a firm palm(手掌)to palm handshake. Showing the palms of your hands is an amiable gesture as it shows that you have a peaceful purpose. It means acceptance, and that you’re open to new ideas. Be careful of the dead fish handshake.
Don’t lean(倾斜) your head while listening to others. When listening to others, you should listen to him or her carefully with your head straight. For women especially, you think you are expressing interest by leaning your head when you are listening to others, but you actually come across as if you don’t understand what’s going on.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The importance of body language.
B. The development of body language.
C. The best way to communicate with others.
D. How to avoid making mistakes at the office.
2.The underlined word “amiable” in paragraph 5 can be replaced with______.
A. common B. polite C. friendly D. strange
3.It can be known from the passage that _____.
A. The stronger you shake hands with others the better.
B. Leaning your head when listening expresses interest.
C. Leaning back and forward shows you are thoughtful.
D. Eye contact is very important in communications.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Pay attention to your body language at the office.
B. How to get along with your co-workers.
C. The meaning of body language you should know.
D. Different countries have different body language.

Four Secrets to Steve Jobs’ Success
How is it that a college dropout, who was once kicked out of his own company, became one of the world’s foremost innovators?
Carmine Gallo lists the four ways Jobs managed to succeed in the face of discouraging circumstances. 1.
Do what you love, no matter what it happens to be.
This is what Jobs told Stanford University graduates in a speech in 2005, Gallo says the famous talk show host Rachael Ray agrees with this advice. Rachael Ray does what she loves. 2. She did that because she loved cooking.
Say no to 1000 things.
Simplifying his business was the key to Jobs’ success, Gallo says. In 1997, when Jobs returned to Apple, Apple was close to bankruptcy(破产). He took 300 products and condensed them to 10 within a two-year period.
3. In his latter years, he decided he would wear the same dress every day so that he didn’t have to think about it.
Kick-start(启动)your brain by doing something new.
Doing new things helped Jobs, in the words of Apple's own slogan, “Think differently.”
The inspiration for the Apple Store came from the Four Seasons Hotel. That’s why when you walk into an Apple Store, you will not find a cashier. 4.. Walk to the back of the store and there’s a bar. It doesn’t serve alcohol, but it collects advice.
5.
“For Jobs, it wasn’t just about selling 29 million iPads this summer but entertaining the customer at the same time,” Gallo says. “Whether you run a multi-billion dollar tech company or a pizza restaurant, innovation means creating a new experience for your customers,” Jobs says.
A. Do what you are curious about.
B. Create fresh experiences.
C. Instead, you’ll find a doorkeeper.
D. Carmine Gallo says that you can do the same.
E. She was giving cooking lessons at Macy’s for free.
F. Simplicity also extends to Jobs’ personal life.
G. Jobs explained that iPad was not just a phone but a lifestyle.

Why is it that many people who have suffered a major shock, such as divorce or death of a family member, seem to be weaker against a variety of major and minor illness? One common idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Indeed, many experts stress the value of expressing thoughts and feelings connected with upsetting events.
Recently, a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and long-term health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics.
In an experiment that followed, another group of healthy students were given the four-day writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences (including loneliness, problems with family and friends, and health). When questioned immediately afterwards, they said that they did not feel any better. However, their blood samples(样本) taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensitivity to these “invaders”. This trend continued over the following six weeks, when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about.
The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. It follows, then, that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems, but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run.
1.In the first experiment, the students who wrote about painful events ________.
A.started to suffer psychological problems
B.enjoyed sharing their inner thought and feelings
C.were less likely to seek treatment for sickness
D.couldn’t deal with suffering effectively
2.People who wrote about personal problems in the second experiment ________.
A.had more bacteria and viruses in their blood
B.had decreased feelings of loneliness
C.showed an improved white cell reaction
D.did better in their writing tasks
3.What does the underlined word "invaders" refer to?
A.The white cells.
B.Bacteria and viruses.
C.Resistance to illness.
D.The reaction and sensitivity of the cells.
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Suffering and Health
B.Inner Thoughts and Feelings
C.Illness and Health
D.Mental Illness and Social Acceptance
