to work in a travel agency,arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this,working
in a small travel agency in a big city. Most of his work is concerned with holidays,both at home
and abroad. Every autumn,the agency sends out hundreds of booklets (小册子) full of attractive,
colored photographs,describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year.
Soon,people begin to come into the office to book their holidays:perhaps a week"s skiing in
Austria in January,perhaps a cruise (巡游) to the Caribbean in February,perhaps a seaside holiday
in Spain in May,or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be
suitable for them,and they always have a lot of questions. Last year,for example,a lady of eighty-two
wanted to book for a mountaineering (爬山) holiday in the Alps,and Brian had great difficulty in
persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for a Mediterranean
cruise instead.
Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated,
but Brian enjoys this work. For example,last spring Mr. Perry,a director of a chemical firm,went
on a business trip,and Brian arranged it all for him. First,Mr. Perry traveled to London by train,
and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport,because his plane left early the next morning. He
flew to Frankfurt in Germany,where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on
by train to Zurich,where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning,he caught a plane
for Tokyo,and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle,Chicago
and New York,and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York,he flew back to
London,and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for
arranging everything so well for him.
B. People who would like to travel but cannot.
C. people who enjoy traveling.
D. People who live in a big city.
B. Every year.
C. In January.
D. Shortly after receiving the booklet.
B. arranging trips for themselves
C. booking trips for other people
D. arranging trips for other people
B. Brian arranged everything so well for Mr. Perry
C. the agency sent Mr. Perry abroad on business
D. Brain helped him in the travel agency

or study if you can"t remember it. You just waste your valuable time. 1 One dependable
aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for
reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank
you.I"m just looking."? Both you and she know that if you aren"t sure what you want, you are
not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses."
She says, "Right this way, please".
2 If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just
that-nothing.But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will
vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons
for" and "to find out how". 3 Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like
this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America".Because
you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and
remember it better.
4 At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas
rapidly and accurately.But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react
to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to
what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 5 One part of critical reading,
as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked
by evidence. Opinions are one"s own personal reactions.Another part of critical reading is
judging sources.Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.
A. Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.
B. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
C. You remember better when you know what you" re reading.
D. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.
E. It"s quite the same with your studying.
F. Reading is not one single activity.
G. This is the way it works.

For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression.Spirits can be low.
People who suffer from "the autumn blues" often are extremely exhausted,lack energy,need
more sleep,feel increased appetite and gain weight.
"The exact cause of this condition,often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder
(SAD),is not known yet," says Chen Jue,associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center."But
recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is
caused by changes in the availability of sunlight."
One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight,the biological clock that regulates mood,
sleep,and hormones is delayed,running more slowly in winter.Exposure to light may reset the biological
clock.
Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered in
individuals with SAD.It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.
"It is a sad season,but you can try to make it happy.Remember,spring always lives in your heart,"
Chen says.
Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.
-Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory
(呼吸) system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.Thus,exercise is calming and
relieves one"s mood.
-Relax at work.Stretch,breathe deeply.Take a tea break.Think of your next vacation.
-Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.
-Look at bright colors,such as red and orange.Color therapy improves mood.
-Listen to your favorite music.You can dance to it,or just lie on a cozy couch,reading a novel.
-Decorate your room and work space with flowers.Blooming plants are cheering.
-Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed.Recall some happy memories.

1 Instead of saying, "Why is this happening to me?" you say, "What can I learn from this?" Trust that
anything difficult in life is temporary. Then life will get better. 2 Without life"s challenges, we would never
know what we are truly made of. Therfore, we become stronger and more confident in the process.
3 It actually works! Don"t say it doesn"t work until you"ve tried it. We all have a blueprint for our lives
and making plans will help us realize it.
Take care of people around you honestly. 4 If you truly care about your friends, family or someone
else, they"ll stick with you through high and low because they know you care about them.
Refuse to compare your progress with others. It will only serve to destroy your confidence. Everyone
is at different stages in their lives. If you understand that you"re right where you"re supposed to be, then it
won"t matter what others are doing. You are unique with special qualities, talents, skills and so on. 5
A. Pay attention to your imagination.
B. The power of making plans cannot be ignored.
C. Try to learn from the difficult situations you meet.
D. Everything you"ve experienced has been in preparation.
E. There is no one like you, so how can you compare yourself to others?
F. It is through the toughest times we learn what we"re capable of doing.
G. People can see right through you and can feel whether you"re honest or not.
explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They
expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their
surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don"t even use your inner
space?"
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the
moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question
that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously
thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities,
such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Channel",a
tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan"s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground
systems, called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using
underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way
to use the earth"s space. The space, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells "moon people" would agree. Would you?
B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities
D. were ahead of them in space technology
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices
B. Space travel with H.G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground
D. Building down, not up

China"s privately owned Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co, which acquired the
Swedish carmaker Volvo Car Corporation from Ford Motor Company earlier this year,
on Monday launched (推出)its official store on Taobao Mall. The venture, on China"s
largest business-to-customer shopping site by market share, means Geely is the first
automaker to sell cars on Taobao.
The company will begin offering two of its Panda models on the website from Dec
22, initially (最初)through a group-buying system. "We will add more cars to the Geely
store in the future, and also sell special editions(版本)which are only available on the
Internet," said Liu Jinliang, vice-president of Geely, adding that the special editions will
help differentiate(区分)the products sold in 4S (sales, service, spare parts and survey)
stores and those on the company"s online store.
Customers can search for information, place orders, and pay their deposit(保证金)
through the company"s online store, and then test-drive, obtain their cars, and pay the
remainder of the purchase price at traditional 4S stores. Liu said the company will provide
door-to-door delivery (交货), an installment payment(分期付款)plan, and pay-in-full
services in the future, as it aims to improve the overall quality of online shopping.
Selling cars online is seen not only as a means of attracting attention, but also as a way
of cutting costs. "By setting up an online store, we can save costs originally incurred (引起)
for land, infrastructure (基础设施), and human resources," said Yang Xueliang, public
relations director of Geely, adding that the company may consider lowering the number
of its physical stores(实体店)if the online venture is successful. "The costs saved, in turn,
will lead to discounts for customers," Yang added.
Though online stores will not replace the functions of 4S stores, they are a phenomenon
many automakers may adopt in the future, said analysts.
"It (setting up an online store) helps automakers to explore new ways of selling, though
it is far from a large-scale practice," said Jia Xinguang, a senior auto industry analyst.
B. Geely is the first automaker to sell cars on Taobao.
C. Now cars can be purchased on the Internet.
D. Selling cars online is a means of attracting attention.
B. more cars have been added to the Geely store
C. the cars sold in 4S stores and those on the company"s online store are just the same
D. there"ll be special car editions which are only available on the Internet
B. the company will provide door-to-door delivery service
C. customers must pay all the money through the online store
D. selling cars online can save money for customers
B. It"s a new way of selling cars.
C. More automakers may adopt it in the future.
D. It is a large-scale practice.
