Three months ago, I

went into Best Buy looking for

a fridge.

We

knew roughly what

we

wanted,

but online, we couldn't get a feel for something that big. So my wife and I went to the bricks

and

mortar(

灰浆

)

home

electronic

giant,

only

to

stand

there

puzzled

looking

at

exactlyone

fridge.

The

clerk

cheerily

told

us,

don't

have

any

for

you

to

actually

look

at,

but

you

can

look

through

a huge selection right here on this computer.

We were preparing for our first child, so we'd been doing

lots of shopping. But

as the weeks

went by, I walked into many a store to get the same response :

we'll happily mail it to you. No, we don't carry it, but you can order it online.

Shopping online is of great convenience. But not too long ago online stores were not used

to buy everyday essentials. I want to look at the side of a fridge and notice that. it's black.

Most of all, I want instant satisfaction. When I buy something, I want it now, not in the 7-14

days it takes to order, get it out of the warehouse and ship it to my house.

Online stores make sense. Bricks and mortar are expensive, so. keeping everything in stock

in every store is impractical. The Internet is about making life easy and fast. That's the way

it

is

when

you

buy

an

e-book

or

a

mobile

application.

But

as

the

Internet

begins

to

have

an

effect

on other products, I'm backing down.

It turns out that I don't want the Internet to replace stores. In fact, I want bricks and

mortar

stores with lots

of boxes. Right now, there's nothing I want more than to

be able to fill

a big box in the back of my car, take it home, open it up and enjoy what's in it the same day

I

- 3 -

buy it.

25. What did the writer do when he was in Best Buy?

A. He looked through all kinds of fridges.

B. He managed to buy a fridge online.

C. He was satisfied with the clerk's service.

D. He felt disappointed not to see the fridge he wanted.

26. What do

A. Online stores.

B. Traditional stores.

C. Stores offering building materials.

D. Stores offering cheap products.

27. Which of the following may the author buy online?

A. A washing machine. B. A CD player.

C. A fridge. D. An e-dictionary.

28. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.. The writer hopes that online stores will be closed.

B. The writer likes the feeling of buying and carrying goods.

C. The writer prefers online stores to bricks and mortar stores.

D. The writer wishes bricks and mortar stores would be replaced.

Mom turned out to be right! If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest

show of kindness, you'll feel happy.

Professor Vicki Black, a psychology at Harvard, says gratitude (

感谢

) is an important element

of

happiness.

In

his

recent

book,

Thanks

,

Black

uses

the

first

major

study

on

gratitude

to

prove

mom's viewpoint. He explains how people have benefited - even improved their health.

As

a

leading

scholar,

Black

notes

it

may

be

difficult

to

express

gratitude,

because

gratitude

is always other- directed. You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing

something wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself. To feel grateful when life

is a breeze and you

have more than you need

is easy. To feel

grateful in time of

crisis---anger,

hatred

and

bitterness---

is

easier.

Also,

too

many

people

are

aware

of

life's

blessings

only

after

these are lost.

Black, to enable gratitude, encourages the readers of

Thanks

to keep a gratitude diary. He

even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practice and develop gratitude.

I'm not a

reader

or

advocate

of self-help books, but I am thankful for the

reference I found

in a newspaper article to the research Black was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors

and receivers. The chance led me to this book.

Mom implied

that kindness seems to find its

way

back to the giver because life really is

all

about giving, receiving and repaying. So I'll pay attention to her professional advice and say:

Thank you, professor Black.

29. Why was Vicki Black's book

Thanks

mentioned?

A. To tell us Professor Black supports mom's study on psychology.

B. To tell us mom is as great a psychologist as Professor Black.

C. To prove Professor Black is a famous psychologist.

D. To prove mom is right about her viewpoint on gratitude.

30. When will it be easier for you to feel grateful?

A. When you get help during your hard times.

- 4 -

B. When you receive gifts on your birthday.

C. When you live a comfortable life.

D. When you are congratulated on your success.

31. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Gratitude is important to happiness.

B. There are many ways of being thankful.

C. Being thankful will keep you fit.

D. Mom is great for her being thankful.

Scientists found sea levels are rising faster today than anytime over the past 3,000 years.

Another

that

January

The

information

28

centuries.

Their

findings

were

released(

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Robert Kopp, from Rutgers University in New Jersey, is the paper's lead author. He said the

20th

century

rise

was

when

compared

to

the

past

3,000

years.

And,

Kopp

said,

rise over the last two decades has been even faster.

When temperatures rise, so do sea levels. That is because snow and ice melt, or break off

from glaciers. They flow 'into the sea. The increased water makes the sea levels rise.

The

best

judgements

show

that

temperatures

around

the

Earth

have

risen

more

than

a

half- degree

Celsius

since

1880.

Scientists

say

that

most

of

that

rise

is

because

of

gases,

released

into

the

air by machines that humans have built. And it is not going to get better.

The water is going to rise, said Stefan Rahmstorf . He is a professor of ocean physics at

the

co- author.

that

temperatures at the North Pole hit record highs in January. This news comes after 2015 has been

the hottest year ever recorded.

On

average,

the

North

almost

4

degrees

higher

in

January

than

average

temperatures

of sea ice up North. The National Snow and Ice Data Center said the amount of January sea ice

is 644,000 square kilometers below average.
