When it comes to hard, noisy traveling, we’ve found that sometimes we’d rather read about it than actually go. Here are some bestsellers for armchair travelers.

The Station by Robert Byron. In 1928, the 22-year-old man made a journey to Mount Athos, resulting in one of the best travel books ever written, matched only by Byron’s own, much more famous The Road to Osciana.

In Darkest Africa by Henry Monton Stanley. It’s about his great efforts to save an unlucky German doctor Eduard Schnitzer, who had no desire to be rescued at all.

A Traveler’s Alphabet: Partial Memoirs by Sir Steven Runciman. A to Z and around the world. He provides priceless information of long-gone princesses, priests, and places.

South: A Memoir of the Endurance Voyage by Sir Ernest Shackleton. As the planet started the global war, Shackleton and his brave group of explorers made an unsuccessful but heroic journey to cross Antarctica from 1914 to 1917.

The Michelin Red Guide: France 2005 Reading through this final listing of all the nice hotels and wonderful restaurants in France is better than going there, listening to Chirac talk about the poisonous American culture, and spending the price of this book for a tiny cup of tea and a cookie the size of your thumb.

Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control hard to find just when you want it most. ________ But there are ways to increase your willpower.

How to Tell If Someone Is Happy or Sad on the Phone

Scientists have come up with some researches on what makes different types of people“tick”.

The scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed new mobile phone technology called Emotion Sense that can tell if a caller is happy, angry or sad.

Scientists hope to fit the speech recognition system to standard mobile phones and use it to determine emotions—it will also use a GPS tracking system to log where the call is made.

And they’ve already made some pretty major breakthroughs into really getting under the skin of us humans.

The results from the pilot scheme make interesting scientific reading. Among the key revelations (﹦facts) are that callers feel happier at home and sadder at work.

To break it down, scientifically, it shows 45 percent of all emotions produced at home are “happy”and 54 percent of emotions at work are “sad”.

Meanwhile, people show more “intense”(﹦nervous) emotions in the evening than they do in the morning.

Of course, this could just be because most people feel too tired in the morning to get overly “intense”. Eating breakfast and getting to work on time is usually enough of an achievement.

Anyway, the Emotion Sense technology has been developed by psychologists(心理学家) and computer scientists who say it uses speech recognition software and phone sensors(传感器) attached to standard smart phones to judge how callers’ emotions are changed by everyday factors.

The sensors analyze voice samples and these are then divided into five categories: happiness, sadness, fearfulness, anger or neutral-—boredom or passivity(消极) would fit into this last category.

1.How many emotions can the sensors tell?

A. Two          B. Three             C. Four            D. Five

2.What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. Scientists have put something testing people’s emotions under humans’ skin.

B. There were some breakthroughs in this technology in getting something from people’s skin.

C. In this technology, people’s skin was broken through.

D. There were improvements in testing people’s emotions.

3.Why do most people feel less intense in the morning than in the evening?

A. Because morning is the start of a new day.

B. because they feel too tired in the morning.

C. Because of humans’ physiological structure.

D. Because of the fresh air and bright sunlight.

4.Which of the following hasn’t been put into the standard mobile phones?

A. Speech recognition software.             B. Phone sensors.

C. GPS sensors.                          D. Translation system.

How to Write an Email

While many people are accessible by email, sometimes it is difficult to determine how exactly to write an email to them. 1.

Write an appropriate subject line. The subject line should tell the recipient (接收者) immediately what the email is about. 2. Remember that your wording also has to be brief.

3. It is best to be more formal rather than informal, so when writing to someone you have never met or written to before, a “Dear Jane Smith” is appropriate. When addressing someone whom you are a little familiar with, a “Dr. Smith” is okay until they tell you to address them by their first name, in which case a simple “Jane” will be okay.

State your purpose at the beginning. Within the first two sentences of your email, your recipient should know exactly why you are writing to him. Sometimes an introduction may have to precede (先于) the sentence that states why you are writing and sometimes it has to follow.

Use appropriate language. You may be used to using informal language in certain social settings. 4. Even when dealing with colleagues or friends you are familiar with, do not immediately fall back on informal language.

Keep it simple. People may get dozens and even hundreds of emails a day. 5. In that way, they can save much of their time when reading emails.

A. Use proper greetings.

B. Express your ideas clearly.

C. Here are some tips for you to follow.

D. You should avoid spelling and grammar mistakes.

E. Be as specific as possible when writing the subject.

F. However, an email may not be the best place to use such language.

G. It is always easier for them if you keep your email as short and brief as possible.
