People in the office usually sit for most of the day when they work. But this is bad for a person’s health. When people sit for too long every day, they don’t move very much. So it is easy to start getting fat. Sitting too long is also bad for their work because it makes them want to sleep. When this happens, people may make more mistakes in their work or spend more time finishing their work. Companies need workers to be healthy, so how do they fix the problem?
Some companies have different types of desks to help their workers. The first type of desk is the standing desk. The desk can be taller when a person wants to stand. It can also be shorter when the person wants to sit. Another type of desk is the walking desk. This desk is made so that a person can work while walking at the same time.
Workers in the companies like the different types of desks very much. They think these desks are quite useful.

A student stuck a note on his classmate’s back while they were at recess(课间休息) one day. The note said “I’m Stupid”. He asked the rest of his classmates not to tell the boy. The other students started laughing at the boy, but wouldn’t say why.
Soon, it was time for their afternoon math class. Their teacher wrote a difficult problem on the blackboard. No one was able to solve it except the boy with the note on his back.
Ignoring the laughter, he walked toward the blackboard and solved the problem. The teacher asked the class to clap(鼓掌) for him and took the note off his back. She told him, “It seems that you didn’t know about the note your classmate put on your back, but you didn’t seem to care anyway.”
Then the teacher looked at the rest of the class and said, “Before I punish you all, let me tell you two things. First, all of you will be labeled(贴标签) at one point or another by other people who don’t want you to succeed. All you have to do is ignore(忽略) these labels. You have to take every chance you have to learn, grow and improve. And it seems that none of you are friends with this boy, since none of you were kind enough to tell him about the note. If that’s true, then you’d better hope that you have some good friends yourself. Otherwise(否则), you might be the one with a note stuck on your back someday with no one to tell you.”
11. Why did the teacher ask the boy to go to the blackboard?
| A．Because the boy couldn’t answer the question. |
| B．Because the boy laughed at his classmates in class. |
| C．Because the teacher wanted to take off the note. |
| D．Because only the boy could solve the problem. |
| A．sometime in the future | B．in the end |
| C．at the same time | D．over time |
| A．Punishment is not the only way to help you learn. |
| B．Being labeled can stop you from succeeding. |
| C．Don’t care too much about others’ opinions of you. |
| D．Take every chance to show yourself to others. |
| A．There’s no need to make friends. | B．Friends can’t always help you. |
| C．Friendship comes first in life. | D．Friends may help you in a difficult time. |
| A．You should care about others’ opinions of you. |
| B．It’s good to give others nicknames. |
| C．Don’t care about the note your classmate put on your back. |

Chinese New Year Painting, or nianhua in Chinese, is a kind of traditional paintings to be put up on walls and windows during the Spring Festival. Its bright colors and different subjects show the Chinese great expectation for happiness and wealth.
Chinese New Year Painting is an old handicraft. Its original(最初的)form was a picture of a door god during the Tang Dynasty. Later, more subjects such as the Kitchen God, women and babies were included. As the Chinese New Year arrives, every family puts up its New Year paintings in order to say goodbye to the past and welcome the future. One of the most famous woodblock New Year paintings comes from Yangjiabu of Shandong Province. It covers all kinds of themes and forms. They reflect people’s everyday life.
As time went by, people found New Year paintings old-fashioned. Besides, they considered the door god too scary to hang in their homes. They wanted something more artistic. So in the middle of the 1980s, the sales of New Year paintings dropped greatly.
Usually, colorful woodblock New Year paintings are produced in four steps. Firstly, artists draw a simple sketch(素描)on the paper. Secondly, they make the simple sketch on the wood board and print a few samples(样品). Thirdly, they add color to the sample. Lastly, when the preparation is finished, the printers paint color on the color board, and then put paper on the wood board and brush the paper.
