It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time,and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history.If this is true,possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic devices,a reading-material explosion,a popular interest toward tight or pocket less clothing,or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.
But,much as nature finds ways—such as disease—to control overpopulation,city life has thrown up impediments(障碍) to bags.To enter many public buildings,such as theatres and railway stations,you must go through a search or go bagless.The city has countless bag rules.It is hard to keep them all straight,and you're never sure,when leaving home for the day,whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.
Last week,the New York Public Library got in the game.Students,researchers,writers,historians,and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule.You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library.If you walk in with one,you must leave it at the coat check.You may keep its contents with you,however,and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them.You return them when you come back for your own bag.
What the library is trying to prevent,in this case,is people taking things out,rather than bringing things in.A librarian said on the second day,”It’s a big change for people who used to come and bring in half their flats.The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so.The people who steal will continue to get away with it,if they really want to.”
1.How many reasons does the author list to explain the changes related to bags?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
2.What do the bag rules in many public buildings require people to do?
A. Have their bags examined. B. Pay for bringing in bags.
C. Leave the places bagless. D. Use big clear plastic bags.
3.What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?
A. To change people’s way of reading.
B. To prevent people stealing things.
C. To help people better use the library.
D. To stop people from bringing in dangerous things.
4.How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?
A. Excellent. B. Satisfactory. C. Harmful. D. Limited.

It is not a secret that these are turbulent times that put everyone on edge all the time and it makes people angry with their families, co-workers, friends and relatives, frustrated (沮丧的)and highly annoyed just for the noise of the neighbors or the music coming from the opposite house. Anger and negative energy have a strong influence on everyone’s life, even when they don’t realize it.
Being in a calm state of mind is simply wonderful. Results of this can be seen when parents no longer shout at their children over any small thing and when one can keep him cool when bad things happen and doesn’t let the situation become worse by his negative influence.
Also results can be seen on a larger scale. In 1993 a very interesting scientific experiment called The US Transcendental Meditation experiment was conducted in Washington. A company called TM got 4,000 calm and relaxed people to simply sit and meditate (冥想) in a central Washington convention center. The results of this experiment showed that during those particular 8 weeks, violent crimes, such as murder, rape, assaults, clearly decreased by as much as 23%.
This is evident proof that meditation can change the state of mind, bring back peace of mind and collective meditation is contagious (蔓延的), just as anything done collectively is contagious. For example, a person has the urge to become aggressive (while in normal circumstances that person is very calm and normal), just because he is sitting at a stadium watching a football game and everyone around is shouting and is aggressive.
Isn’t increasing the quality of life worth spending 20 minutes of time on meditation? Yes, very few people follow through with a meditation method that should be a joy to do. Many start and leave it after only a few sessions.
So if collective meditation has proven that meditation works, that it calms people down and that it brings their levels of stress down, why not employ it in everyday life?
1.The underlined word “turbulent” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A.changeless B.disorderly C.perfect D.expected
2.According to Paragraph 3, the scientific experiment ________.
A.was to test whether meditation is useful
B.was conducted throughout America
C.asked the participants to do a lot of sports
D.had no particular requirements on the participants
3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Violent crimes are closely related to aggressive characters.
B.People are sometimes easily annoyed by small things.
C.Many people fail to carry out a meditation method.
D.Meditation can cure people of many illnesses.

Many skilled young people are being forced into part-time and unskilled work, the report says. It warns of a "crisis" with more than six million people so disillusioned they have given up looking for work. The ILO(International Labor Organization)wants governments to make job creation a priority. It wants more training schemes, and also tax breaks for employers.
"The youth unemployment crisis can be beaten but only if job creation for young people becomes a key priority in policymaking and private sector investment picks up significantly," said Jose Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, executive director of the ILO's employment sector.
Since 2007, the number of young people without jobs has risen by four million - up from less than 12%, the Global Employment Trends for Youth Report says. Almost 13% of people aged between 15 and 24 - or almost 75 million - have no work, although this is slightly down on its peak in 2009.
In the European Union, one in five young people are looking for work, the report claims. Some 27.9% of youths were unemployed in North Africa last year —a rise of five percentage points on 2010. In the Middle East, the figure stood at 26.5% in the report's regional breakdown. Even in East Asia, perhaps the most economically active region, the unemployment rate was 2.8 times higher for young people than for adults, the report said.
But, the ILO report reveals, the true picture of youth unemployment is even more pessimistic. Many young people are extending their time in higher education because they cannot find jobs. Others are taking part-time unskilled work because they cannot find work in the fields they trained for.
The ILO says that more than six million young people worldwide have given up looking for work and are becomingly increasingly detached from society. By not using their skills they are losing them, the report says, and if there is no improvement in the jobs market soon, they may be not only unemployed, but unemployable.
The ILO suggests offering tax breaks to businesses hiring young people and offering more programmes to help kick-start careers.
1.Which of the following is true according to Jose Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs?
A. Since 2007, the number of young people out of job has risen to 4 million.
B. Nearly 13% of the young people have no work.
C. Job creation should be made a key priority in policymaking.
D. The youth unemployment rate can never go down.
2.The various figures in paragraph 3 and 4 were used to show_______.
A. The employment situation is serious only in the European Union
B. The global youth employment situation is depressing
C. East Asia enjoys a high youth employment rate
D. Compared with the situation in 2009, the youth employment in 2007 is slightly better
3.According to ILO, the following are caused by high youth unemployment rate except_______.
A. The government calls on young people to take up whatever job is available
B. Many young people are making their time in higher education longer
C. Some young people are taking part-time unskilled work
D. Many young people have given up looking for work
4.The ILO offered many solutions to the crisis of youth unemployment, including_______.
a. making job creations a priority b. more training schemes
c. encouraging public investment d. tax breaks for employers
e. offering more entrepreneurship programmes to help start careers
A. a b c e B. b c d e C. a c d e D. a b d e
