“Er, er, er…… I’m sorry I forget my words.” Tom rushed out of the hall with his face red. People afraid of speaking in public are suffering from “Stage Fright”. Stage fright makes a person    . In that    it can make one's mind go blank(空白) and forget    one ought to say, or to act. Actors, musicians, dancers, lawyers, even TV show hosts suffered from stage fright at one time or      .
Diana Nichols is an expert in helping people free from stage fright at a medical center in New York City. She helps actors learn to    themselves. Miss Nichols says some people have always been    to perform before the audience. Others, she says, develop stage fright after a terrible experience.
She offers them advice to control the fear. One way is to smile    going onto the stage. Taking two deep breaths    helps. Deep    helps you get control of your body.
Miss Nichols asks her patients to tell themselves that their speech or performance does not have to be    . It's    to make a mistake. She tells them they should not be too nervous while they are performing. It is important that they should continue to perform while she is helping them. After each performance, they discuss what happened and find out what    helped and what did not.As they perform more and more, they will fear    . Miss Nichols says the aim is only to reduce stage fright, not to smooth it away    . This is    a little stage fright makes a person more careful, and improves the performance.

I heard the bees long before I saw them.
It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped.
I heard a low hum(嗡嗡聲)，which was growing louder. From a distance, the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer, I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.
All I could do was cover my face with hands. Crazily, I thought that if I sat very still, the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few minutes, I knew my plan hadn’t worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.
But it wasn’t so easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening, but I had no choice.
I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool, but I don’t remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe, and the water felt wonderful.
But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water, putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.

Cities and towns in 35 countries took part. The year 2012 saw 6,950 towns and cities in more than 152 countries took part in Earth Hour movement. Last year 7,000 towns and cities in more than 154 countries took part in Earth Hour. This year, WWF is calling for people across the world to take part in Earth Hour 2014 – the biggest switch-off in history.
For the eighth year, people are being asked to turn off their lights for one hour to call attention to the issue of climate change. The WWF’s organizers say climate change is one of the greatest threats(威脅) facing wildlife and nature. They also say when it comes to save energy and money, big changes start with small steps like turning out the lights.
Earth Hour supporter Jamie Oliver has some great ideas of his own for helping the environment: “We can all make simple changes to help, like always choosinghigher-welfare(規(guī)�；B(yǎng)殖的) meat, and even trying to have a couple of meat-free days a week. More little steps, such as taking a shower instead of a bath, leaving the car behind and walking to work, not leaving electrical appliances on standby（備用的） and so on are the beginning of a low carbon lifestyle and a healthier world.
This year, Earth Hour is asking people to take the movement “beyond the hour”. Earth Hour is a call to stand up and get involved. We hope everyone will join us in turning off for a brighter future.

Life in the future will be different from life today. But what will the change be?
The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in school then.
People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.

Body language is quiet, secret and most powerful language of all. It speaks louder than words.
According to specialists, our bodies send out more messages than we realize. In fact, non-verbal(非語言) communication takes up about fifty percent of what we usually mean. And body language is especially important, when we try to communicate across cultures.
Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings happen as a result of it. For example, different cultures treat the distance between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact（接觸）,even with friends. And certainly not with strangers. People from the Latin American countries, on the other hand, touch each other quite a lot. So it’s possible that in conversation it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian (挪威人)all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving closer. The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as rude behavior, will keep backing away, which the Latino will in return regarded as coldness.
Obviously, a great deal is going on when people talk. And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of misunderstanding. But whatever the situation is, the best advice is to obey the golden rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated.
小題1:You may find the passage in _____.
A, a science magazine  B. a guide book 
C. a sports newspaper  D. a story book
小題2:The underlined word this in paragraph 3 refers to ___.
A．the Norwegian keeps moving closer
B．the Latino follows the Norwegian
C．the Norwegian keeps backing away
D．the Latino’s way of expressing friendship
小題3:Misunderstanding of body languages always happens because of the ___.
A．languagesB．friends
C．cultures D．countries
小題4:Which of the following is true?
A．people around the world have the same body languages
B．body language takes up about 50% of our communication
C．body language is the most important in our communication
D．body language is important when trying to communicate across cultures
小題5:If a foreign friend gives a hug to you, you should___.
A．shake hands with himB．give him a hug

Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it’s easy — you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.
However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source(資源) of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn’t need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles, we wouldn’t need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don’t recycle much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and sees. So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn’t a recycling bin near you? Well, there are loes of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.
小題1:What is not mentioned about bottled water in this passage?
A．It’s healthy. B．It’s clean.
C．It’s easy. D．It’s expensive.
小題2:Plastic products are made from         .
A．energy B．oil
C．rubbish D．plants
小題3:        of plastic waste became rubbish in Greece in 2006.
A．10% B．50% C．80% D．90%
小題4: Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles?
A．To recycle them. B．To make a piggy bank.
C．To make a plant pot. D．To drop them into the river.
小題5: The underlined part in this passage tells us “       ”.
A．To make a different life, you’d better go outside.
B．To look different, you’d better wear green clothes.
C．To protect the environment, you can do something.
D．To go green, you should use plastic products.

A French-language daily in Belgium has issued(出版) what is thought to be Europe’s first 3D newspaper. But you must read it with a pair of special glasses.
All the photos and ads in La Derniere Heure’s (DH) special edition(版) were given a three-dimensional effect(3D效果), but the text remained the same.
DH’s editor said there were no further 3D plans because of the costs.
Reviewers in France spoke highly of the paper, but they said the overall result was “far from perfect”.
Editor Hubert Leclercq said it took two months to get ready for the special edition, which had a higher than normal print run of 115,000 copies for the stores selling newspapers.
“We hear about 3D cinema, television and video games, so we took up the challenge,” Mr. Leclercq told the AFP news agency.
According to PC World’s French edition, readers could get the best results by holding the paper 50cm from the eyes in a well-lit area.
“It takes a few minutes to get used to pictures in 3D,” it said, noting the limited quality of the viewing lenses(鏡片).
It’s said some of the images - especially the ads - had a good 3D effect, but that other pictures were not clear or difficult to look at.

小題1:The Europe’s first 3D newspaper was from             .

It seems that there’s a good reason why dogs are always seen as man’s best friend. Scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotion(情感)in faces much like humans. The finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry.
When humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look across the left, falling on the right hand side of the person’s face first. A possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions.
Scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have “l(fā)eft gaze bias(左視偏好)”, but only when looking at human faces. No other animal has been known to do like this before. Dr. Kun Guo showed 17 dogs pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else with his team. The dogs’ eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces. But this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, including those of dogs.
Guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions.
“Recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left. If  true, then it makes sense for dogs and humans to see the right hand side of a face first.”
小題1:Why are dogs seen as man’s best friend according to the passage?
A．Because dogs are the closest animals to humans.
B．Because dogs can read the emotions in humans’ faces easily.
C．Because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad.
D．Because dogs are good at expressing emotions.
小題2:The dogs’ left gaze bias helps them _______.
A．get along well with humansB．express emotions quickly
C．have more understanding friendsD．remember more new faces
小題3:The passage mainly wants to tell us that _______.
A．dogs have been man’s best friends for thousands of years
B．humans have a “l(fā)eft gaze bias”
C．the “l(fā)eft gaze bias” works on all animals
D．dogs can read emotions the same as humans
