Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the 7th century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote (偏远的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available (可利用的) to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were seldom used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

5. From the text we know that windmills ________.

A．were invented by European armies

B．used to supply power to radio in remote areas

C．have a history of more than 2,800 years

D．have rarely been used since electricity was discovered

6. What was a new use for wind power in the late 19^th century?

A．Producing electricity.	B．Sailing a boat.
C．Grinding wheat into flour.	D．Pumping water from ground.

7. One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________.

A．the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs

B．it is one of the oldest power sources

C．it was cheaper to create energy from wind

D．wind power is cleaner

I was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA, but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa. I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace.

While traveling in Tokyo recently with a colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I fry?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again. “Any comments or questions?”

Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said, “Do you have something to add?” To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.

After the session, I asked my colleague, “How do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “it has to do with how bright their eyes are.”

He continued, “In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”

I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.

8. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?

A．Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.

B．The author enjoys traveling around the world.

C．Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.

D．The author may start his own business in the future.

9. Hearing the colleague whispering, the author ________.

A．went back to his scat and got seated

B．knew his colleague had some questions

C．owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleague

D．thought his colleague would get nowhere

10. Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?

A．Japan.	B．America.
C．Africa.	D．France

11. Which is the proper title for the passage?

A．Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.

B．Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.

C．Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.

D．Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.

If your job requires a lot of sitting, you could be putting your health at danger.
The American Journal of Epidemiology (流行病学) did a study in 2010 on the correlation (相互联系) between sitting and an individual's physical health. In the study, 53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting. The subjects were all disease free when employed. The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.
The findings: Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hours a day, and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.
Well, now's a fine time to get this information. But why didn't they tell me this years ago? I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary (坐着的) job of an editor.
So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting? Here are some ideas:
Take frequent breaks. It is recommended that workers vary activities, change their position, and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation. Get a standing desk. Some studies have shown that working from an upright             position may be better for health. The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill (跑步机) desk. It only goes about one mile per hour. Have a walking meeting. If your group is kind of small, going for a walk while discussing topics is a             good alternative.
12. According to the text, the study in 2010 ______.

A．found men reporting shorter sitting time than women

B．surveyed more men than women on their daily sitting time

C．identified fewer deaths in men than in women during the 14-year follow-up

D．discovered correlation between sitting and physical health in men and in women

13. We can infer from the text that the author did not recommend ______.

A．using a standing desk	B．resting one's muscles
C．quitting sedentary jobs	D．taking a walk while discussing

14. What does the underlined word "subjects" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Things being discussed.	B．People being studied.
C．Areas of knowledge being learned.	D．Objects being painted.

15. What is the main idea of the text?

A．Your job could be killing you.

B．Working out leads to health risks.

C．Long-time sitting is positively associated with health.

D．A study on sitting time and physical health was completed.

In our daily life, we have developed a lot of habits, such as, eating habit, study habit, reading habit, etc. However, taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can’t be forgotten.    16    .
Watching TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch —TV news isn’t a better pre-sleep choice than TV series.    17    . The bright light keeps you awake all the night. So even if you nod off (in front of the TV, for example), you probably won’t stay asleep for long.
Sleeping with pets
    18    . They get comfortable, and then they move. This goes on all night, and whether you admit it or not, it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested.
Eating fatty, heavy foods too close to bedtime
Heartburn (烧心，胃痛) strikes anyone of any age, but it’s the most common GI disorder (胃肠失调) in older adults. If you’ve ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you’ve probably found the discomfort of stomach preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep.
    19    
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever—turning over and over again, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect —--- it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal, which may take several hours.
Accepting snoring (打呼噜) as normal sleep behavior
Snoring may seem as common as breathing, but it’s considered the biggest sleep killer, and it’s linked to several causes sleeping on your back, being overweight, having a cold, drinking, or taking drugs.    20    . For the snorer, it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally. For the partner, the noise can be unbearable.

A．Exercising heavily too close to bedtime

B．Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of

C．Most seriously, it’s caused by a dangerous illness

D．Here are some suggestions you’ll need to follow

E．Pets sleep most of the day, and they move a lot when sleeping

F．Reducing your body temperature before bedtime

G．Rather it’s the TV’s bright light that is the criminal
