People want to get ahead when they are working in office, but not everyone can reach the goal．Let’s read the passage and we believe you can understand something useful for your working in the office．

A is for always getting to work on time．

B is for being very busy．

C is for the conscientious （勤勤恳恳） way you do your job ．

You may be all these kinds of people at the office, and even more．But when it comes to getting ahead, some experts say, the ABCs above are not enough, a P should be included, for P—politics, as in office politics．

Dale Carneigie suggested much about office politics（策略） more than 90 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement．You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes．Yet, in spite of the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics, a better job, a raise, praise, but many people are still unable or unwilling to “play the game．”

“People think that office politics involves some manipulative （工于心计的） behavior, ” says Deborah Comer , an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University．“But politics comes from the word ‘polite’．It can also mean controlling and forming associations （交往）．It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your boss, and then expecting something in return．”

In fact, today, experts explain office politics as proper behavior used to go after one’s own self-interest in the workplace．In many cases, this involves some forms of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well．

“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on their work,” says Neil P．Lewis, a management psychologist．“But if two or three candidates （候选人） are up for a position, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to choose the person he or she likes best to get ahead．It’s simple human nature．

Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office．Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed．Still others connect office politics with flattery （奉 承） , fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors．

Experts suggested that office politics should be the need for some self-promotion （晋升）．

1.The underlined “Office politics” in （Para 5） is used in the passage to refer to ______．

A．the habit of getting to work on time．

B．the political views and beliefs of office workers．

C．the interpersonal relationships within a company．

D．the various qualities required for a successful career．

2.Why are many people unwilling to “play the game ”（Para．6）?

A．They believe that doing so is not polite．

B．They feel that such behavior is unprincipled（不道德的．）

C．They do like the manipulating workmates．

D．They think the effort will get them nothing．

3.The author considers office politics to be _______．

A．unwelcome at the workplace．

B．bad for interpersonal relationships．

C．impossible to the development of company culture．

D．an important factor for personal advancement．

4.It is the experts’ view that _______．

A．speaking up for oneself is part of human nature．

B．office politics is necessary to self-advancement．

C．hard work is of little importance to one’s promotion．

D．all employees can recognize the need for flattery．

B

Those who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas cause the body to make lots of insulin (胰岛素), and insulin causes fat growth.

How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food becomes sugar in our bloodstream. How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数), or GI rating tells us. Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered high-GI foods, leading to faster sugar development. Bananas have a GI of 62, which is considered low.

Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone, but it is especially hard for diabetics (糖尿病患者). A study looked at how the starch from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics. After four weeks of a diet high in bananas, diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet. They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.

What’s more, bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes, diabetes and cancers (Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.). Bananas are also a rich source of fiber, which has been shown to help weight loss. Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber.

Skins from green bananas can be taken and, after removing the stem and dark tip, cut into small pieces 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish. When you eat the skins, be sure you are eating organic bananas. The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides, but the skins are not.

1. What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 1 & 2?

A. Bananas are likely to make people fat.

B. Insulin determines the amount of sugar.

C. Low-GI foods can turn into sugar more slowly.

D. The faster the food becomes sugar, the less insulin.

2.What does the author say about bananas?

A. Including bananas in diets is good for health.

B. Bananas can cure people suffering kidney cancer.

C. Eating organic bananas protect people from strokes.

D. Bananas’ abundant fiber improves insulin sensitivity.

3.What is discussed in the last paragraph?

A. The use of banana skins.

B. The benefits of banana skins.

C. The importance of banana skins.

D. The ways of choosing organic bananas.

4.In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?

A. Education. 　 B. Health. 　 C. Culture. 　 D. Science.

When given the choice, about 85% of people say they would not want to know about some negative event far in the future. Yet recently millions around the globe have downloaded FaceApp, which allows users to see how they might age in real life.

Many had fun with joking that they love the FaceApp old filter. Beneath the humor is a serious subject: How do we learn to relate to our future selves? It’s important that we try to because it could help strengthen the long-term decisions that we make. However, we often fail to make sacrifices for the grayer versions of ourselves.

More than half of the respondents in a recent survey of 2,800 Americans said they rarely or never thought about what their lives might be like 30 years from now. This isn’t surprising, since most of us are firmly rooted in the present and thinking about the distant future can seem like a distant priority (优先). My ongoing research might also offer an explanation: We tend to think about our future selves as if they are someone different from who we are today. In an effort to narrow these empathy (共情) gaps, my research workmates and I have tried to humanize people’s future selves in the same way others have tried to humanize charity receivers. Given that a photograph of one hungry child can spark emotional reactions, and cause viewers to donate, we have presented participants with vivid images of their distant selves.

That seems helpful. In a recently completed project in Mexico, we found that exposure to future-self images led more people to contribute to their pensions. Despite this research, I’m skeptical that the app users will suddenly increase their pension contributions and care about their health. The silly app isn’t paired with an immediate opportunity to change any of these things.

The lesson from FaceApp shouldn’t be that we need to marry hi-tech visuals with savings for retirement. The lesson, then, lakes the form of a question: What more can be done to urge us to think about, care for who we will one day become?

1.What can we learn about FaceApp?

A.It provides future-self images. B.It is the most downloaded app.

C.It helps people make decisions. D.It makes people age in real life.

2.Why do most respondents rarely think of their future life?

A.They have known future life from FaceApp.

B.They fail to make sacrifices for their future.

C.They attach greater importance to the present.

D.They consider future selves the same as today’s.

3.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Completing a project in Mexico. B.Offering aging images of participants.

C.Raising contributions among viewers. D.Giving a photograph of a hungry child.

4.What’s the author’s attitude to FaceApp?

A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Ambiguous. D.Unfavorable.

Bars are very important in providing a place where people can meet and make friends. People who enjoy a drink in a local bar are happier and have more friends. They are more likely to be engaged in conversations in small community pubs, and social skills improve after a drink.

Professor Robin Dunbar of Oxford University said, “Friendship and communities are probably the two most important factors influencing our health and well-being. Making and maintaining friendships is something that has to be done in the real world. The digital world is simply no substitute(n.替代物). Given the increasing tendency for our social life to be on the Internet rather than in real life, having relaxed, accessible places where people can meet old friends and make new ones becomes even more necessary.”

Tim Page, chief executive of CAMRA, said, “Bars offer a social environment to enjoy a drink with friends in a responsible community setting. The role of community bars in ensuring well-being cannot be overstated. For that reason, we all　 need to do what we can to ensure that everyone has a ‘local’ near to where they live or work.”

Bars have long been part of British society and have played a key role in British social life since the 16th century. Bars came to represent the heart and soul of a community, providing both a place of entertainment and an engine for community bonding. In a world before the arrival of the motor car, the bar provided a venue in which people could get friendships and a sense of community.

But the closing decades of the 20th century witnessed major changes in both the style of bars (for example, themed bars) and their numbers. As of 2015, the number of bars declines sharply, with bars continuing to close at an average rate of 29 a week.

1.What does a regular(n.常客) at a local bar having more friends prove?

A. The benefits brought by pub cultures　

B. The popularity of local bars in Britain.

C. The relation between friendships and bars

D. The importance of face-to-face communication.

2.What does Robin think is the tendency for social life?

A. More people will go to bars.

B. People will maintain friendships

C. People will trust the digital world　

D. People will communicate more online.

3.Why does Tim Page value the role of local bars?

A. They contribute to people’s social happiness.　　

B. They are a place common people can afford.

C. They are a good place to spread cultural values.

D. They are accessible to people in the community.

4.What can we infer about bars nowadays?

A. Themed bars have held the market　　

B. Some bars have a hard time surviving.

C. They become the heart of a community　

D. Measures should be taken to save them.
