Chinese people had never paid more attention to the annual Nobel literature award than they did when Mo Yan became China’s first winner of the prize.

The effect has not disappeared. Tourists continue to rush to Mo’s home village in Gaomi, Shangdong province, which has become a tourist site since the author was awarded Nobel Prize. Visiting the village is to walk into the world he created in Red Sorghum Clan, one of his best-known novels, adapted for the award-winning film Red Sorghum by famous director Zhang Yimou in 1987.

About 210 hectares of red sorghum(高粱) is ready for harvesting, recalling this scene Mo wrote in the novel: "In the deep autumn of the eighth month under a high, clear sky, the land is covered by sorghum that forms a wild sea of blood. When the sun comes out, the surface of the sea shimmers(闪光), and heaven and Earth are painted with rich, wonderful colors."

Locals have planted the sorghum for the coming film of the novel’s TV adaptation starring actress Zhou Xun, in similar style to 1987 when Zhang’s film was filmed. But while the sorghum fields disappeared after the film was made, this time they may remain.“We have signed long-term contracts to sell sorghum to wine producers,”said Zhang Xinfu, head of Xianjia village, Mo Yan’s hometown is in the area.“Dozens of wine producers came to discuss the sorghum business after Mo Yan won the prize,” said Zhang. Zhang said the wine producers promised to pay a satisfying price for the sorghum.

1.What happened to Mo Yan’s home village after he won the Prize?

A. The house of Mo’s at his home village was rebuilt for tourism.

B. The local people at Mo’s home village welcomed the tourists.

C. Many tourists rushed to Mo’s home village to show respect and interest.

D. Mo’s home village remained what it used to be.

2.The underlined word “adapted” in paragraph2 probably means “___________”.

A. settled　　 B. designed　　 C. re-organized　　 D. written

3.Which season was it when the passage was written?

A. Autumn.　　 B. Winter.　　 C. Spring.　　 D. Unknown.

4.According to the text, we can infer that the wine producer bought sorghum from Mo’s home village for__________.

1. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job.In many European countries — like the UK or France —2.

Talks and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; 3. The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; 4. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, 5. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

A. and sometimes these values are quite against each other.

B. people from both nations keep the rule that work comes first.

C. Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.

D. however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.

E. instead there was an uncomfortable silence.

F. It is quite a common case to meet people from different cultures.

G. people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available. While they sound efficient and cost-saving, a recent study reports that they’re not effective, primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them.

The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive(认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT) and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor.

Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression, helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors. However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer.

A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized(随机的) control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England. The patients were split into three groups: one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a physician plus one of computerized CBT programs. Participants were balanced across the three groups for age, sex, educational background, severity and duration of depression, and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁药).

After four months, the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors.

“It’s an important, cautionary note that we shouldn’t get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists.” says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. “We do still need the human touch or the human interaction, particularly when people are depressed.”

“Being depressed can mean feeling in your own small, negative, dark world,” Dowrick says. Having a person, instead of a computer, reach out to you is particularly important in combating that sense of isolation. “When you’re emotionally vulnerable(脆弱的), you’re even more in need of a caring human being.” he says.

1.Why have online CBT programs been increasingly popular?

A.Because of their easy and inexpensive access by patients.

B.Because of their effectiveness in fighting depression.

C.Because of their recommendation by primary care doctors.

D.Because of their attraction of changing mood and behavior.

2.What is the conclusion of the experiment done by researchers at the University of York?

A.The online programs are more advanced than regular care from physicians.

B.The combination of traditional CBT and computerized CBT is most effective.

C.Online CBT programs are as ineffective as regular care from physicians.

D.Online CBT programs have no advantages over regular care from physicians.

3.Which of the following can best convey Professor Dowrick’s advice on online programs?

A.They should be used to help people touch these patients.

B.They should not be ignored in primary care.

C.Their effectiveness should not be overestimated.

D.Their use should be encouraged by doctors.

4.What is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person?

A.A positive state of mind. B.An advanced CBT program.

C.A devoted doctor. D.Human interaction.

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) or Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing and drinking enough water.

The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that make them perform tasks. The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly.

The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled. The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia. 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65 will develop the condition. By 2021 this is expected rise to one million.

John Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine. " Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms Gray said: "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest. People don't need to communicate verbally(口头上) but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond."

Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take medicine. If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there is a greater chance of them taking it. The dogs would also encourage the owners to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people."

1.In Britain people with dementia_____________.

A. are likely to increase in number

C. will be trained to respond to sound triggers

D. will be able to live a relatively normal life
