3 . With the weather getting colder and the days becoming shorter, some people are noticing they have less energy and aren’t feeling as positive as they usually do.
Researchers aren’t yet clear on what causes SAD, but it's likely to be complex. Some research suggests it could be due to a malfunctioning hypothalamus (下丘脑功能不全) or producing too much melatonin (a hormone which controls our sleep-wake cycle). Some researchers theorize it could also be due to having a disrupted circadian rhythm(昼夜节奏混乱).
Some people notice that their symptoms start to improve when the seasons begin to change and spring approaches.
Aside from seeking professional help, there are a couple of other things that people can do to help them cope with SAD during their day.
| A．Colder weather and less daylight may have you feeling a bit more down lately. |
| B．Research also shows that lifestyle factors can play an important role in both causing and managing depression. |
| C．According to one study, getting more natural light during the day may help improve symptoms. |
| D．Of course, there may be other factors at play too. |
| E．But this doesn’t mean that there aren't many things people can do during the winter months to help them cope with their symptoms. |
| F．While these feelings may be temporary for some, around one in three people consistently struggle through the autumn and winter months. |
| G．Light therapy is also currently being investigated as a treatment for SAD. |
4 . When asked what his father did for a living, Mike explained to his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it’s OK, because he gets paid to do it. ”
He isn’t wrong. His father is a hacker(黑客), who is proud of his job, just like doctors are proud of the work they do. Thanks to security researchers’ hacking practices, leaks in a new version of the most common Wi-Fi code standard(WPA3)were found before criminals could use them to break into home and business networks. In another case, criminals found an unknown weakness in Google’s Android operating systems before security researchers did, giving the bad guys full control of more than a dozen phone models.
However, finding Mike’s father’s personalized plates for his car with the word ‘HACKING’, an employee of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles quickly took them away, claiming that a license plate displaying “HACKING” publicized criminal activity. While this reaction really isn’t the fault of the well-intentioned employee, it’s a sign of how a deeply rooted misrepresentation of his profession has created a fixed wrong image. It seems that the way that hackers are described in Hollywood has contributed to the word ‘hacker’ paralleling ‘criminal’, where hackers are often referred to as figures in dark rooms engaged in illegal activity while tapping at keyboards.
But actually, hacking is just an activity. What separates any activity from a crime is, very often, permission. People are free to drive, but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour, which is a criminal offense. Since a driver is just a driver, why must a hacker be a criminal? Someone who engages in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a ‘bad hacker’ but a ‘cybercriminal’. Contrary to popular belief, most hackers like Mike’s father undoubtedly play an important role in keeping companies and people safe.
1. What did Mike’s son think of Mike’s job?| A．Admirable. | B．Amazing. | C．Acceptable. | D．Annoying. |
| A．Its weakness. | B．Its importance. | C．Its variety | D．Its security. |
| A．To entertain the renders. | B．To question the employee’s claim. |
| C．To clarify the concept of hacking. | D．To trace the wrong image of hackers. |
| A．Hacking mostly counts. | B．Hacking is actually a crime. |
| C．Hacking is popular with people. | D．Hacking needs licenses. |

6 . If you have only three minutes to get something that you can take from your home, and the other thing are lost forever, what will you take? The following information will help you.
B.O.B.
B.O.B. is short for Bug of Bag (求生背包). It’s a bag with a collection of things that are needed for life in it.
Reasons to use a B.O.B.
When disasters (灾难) like earthquakes and heavy rainstorms happen, many people will have to run away from their homes and they may not return for a long time. They need to continue to live without food, water or a shelter in some unexpected situations.

2. Drinking water.
3. High-calorie foods, such as chocolate and biscuits.
4. Necessary medicines.
5. Something for making a fire, and a small pot to boil water or cook.

7. A flashlight.

You should put a B.O.B. at a place where you can get it conveniently when disasters happen. Your home, your car, or your office can be a good place to put it.
A B.O.B. is very helpful to the people in need. You’d better prepare more than one B.O.B. if possible. Then think of the difference a B.O.B. will make if those disasters happen. So prepare one now.
