Secret codes
(密码)keep messages private.Banks,
companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing
business, especially when information is sent by
computer.
People
have used secret codes for thousands of years.__1__ Code breaking
never lags(落后) far behind code
making.The science of creating and reading coded messages is called
cryptography.
There
are three main types of cryptography.__2__ For example, the first
letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden
message “Meet me.”
__3__You might represent
each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of
the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for
each letter, the message “Meet me” would read
“135520135.”
A code uses symbols to
replace words, phrases, or sentences.To read the message of a real
code, you must have a code book.__4__ For example, “bridge” might
stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message
“bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” __5__However, it is
also hard to keep a code book secret for long.So codes must be
changed frequently.
A.It
is very hard to break a code without the code
book.
B.In
any language, some letters are used more than
others.
C.Only
people who know the keyword can read the
message.
D.As
long as there have been codes, people have tried to break
them.
E.You
can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell
it out.
F.With
a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other
words.
G.Another
way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific
letters of the
alphabet.

A
garden that’s just right for
you
Have
you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the
atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the
sum(总和) of its
parts?__1__.But
it doesn’t happen by accident.It starts with looking inside
yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural
world and how you approach the gardening
process.
•__2__
Some people may think that a garden
is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of
color.Others are concerned about using gardening methods that
require less water and fewer
fertilizers(肥料).__3__.However,
there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want
to garden.One of them comes from our earliest
years.
•Recall(回忆)your
childhood memories
Our
model of what a garden should be often goes back to
childhood.Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be
good or bad, but that’s not what’s important.__4__—how being in
those gardens made us feel.If you’d like to build a powerful bond
with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens
of your youth.__5__.Then go
outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories
into your grown-up garden.Have
fun.
A.Know
why you garden
B.Find
a good place for your own
garden
C.It’s
our experience of the garden that
matters
D.It’s
delightful to see so many beautiful
flowers
E.Still
others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to
plants
F.You
can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden,
too
G.For
each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you
have

Everyone knows that fish is
good for health.__1__But it seems that many people don’t cook fish
at home.Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person
per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at
home.Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult.__2__This
text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy
way.
__3__Fresh fish should
smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s
edge.Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh.__4__When
you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish
in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh
fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two.Frozen
fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh
one.
There
are many common methods used to cook
fish.__5__First,clean it and
season it with your choice of
spices(调料).Put
the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10
minutes if it weighs about one pound.(A larger one will take more
time.)Then,it’s ready to
serve.
A.Do
not buy it.
B.The
easiest is to steam
it.
C.This
is how you can do
it.
D.It
just requires a little
knowledge.
E.The
fish will go bad within
hours.
F.When
buying fish,you should first
smell it.
G.The
fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart
disease.

The Science of
Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little
unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and
the reward,the risk seems worth
taking.__1__
The
reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with
early humans.Risk-takers were
better at
hunting,fighting,or
exploring.__2__
So why
aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then?
Well,even
200,000 years
ago,too much
risk-taking could get one
killed.A few daring
survived,though,along
with a few
stay-in-the-cave
types.As a result,humans
developed a range of character types that still exists today.So
maybe you love car racing,or
maybe you hate
it.__3__
No
matter where you are on the
risk-seeking
range,scientists say that your
willingness to take risks increases during your teenage
years.__4__
__5__
As
experts continue to study the science of
risk-seeking,we’ll
continue to hit the mountains,the
waves or the shallow end of the
pool.
A.It
all depends on your
character.
B.Those
are the risks you should jump to
take.
C.Being
better at those things meant a greater chance of
survival.
D.Thus,these
well-equipped people survived
because they were the
fittest.
E.This
is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger
world.
F.However,we
are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and
rewards.
G.New
brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a
nervous situation.

Both men and women are
living longer these days in industrialized countries.__1__In
general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than
men.One reason for this is
biological.
One
important biological factor that helps women live longer is the
difference in hormones between men and women.__2__Between the ages
of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in
fertility(生育能力).These
hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood
flow.In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or
to die from heart
attacks.
__3__They help the body
defend itself against some kinds of infections.This means that
women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men.The
common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds
than men.
__4__Scientists are still not
exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe that they
do.Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency
(倾向) to age more slowly than a
man’s.Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age
more quickly.__5__
A.However,
women, on average, live
longer.
B.The
biological factor plays an important
part.
C.Women
are also helped by their female
genes.
D.The
female hormones also protect the body in another
way.
E.Recent
research seems to support both of these
possibilities.
F.Therefore,
women are more healthy than men and can live a better
life.
G.Hormones
are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various
body functions.

Five Things Nobody Told Me
about College
As I
type this,I am in my university
dorm room.A year ago,when I was
awaiting to hear the results of my college
applications,I often went to
websites for some type of insider look on what college would be
like.However,there’s only so much
that prep
books,websites,and
older friends can teach.Here are the top 5 things nobody told me
about
college:
1____
Nobody entering a university knows
exactly what they want to study.If they tell you
otherwise,they’re lying and will
probably change what they want to pursue within the first quarter
of attendance.During my first quarter at University of
California,Riverside
(UCR),I thought that I wanted to
study Political Science with its focus on International
Affairs,so that’s what I applied
for.However,once I worked with
statewide and local government,I
realized that a better fit for me would be Public
Policy,and now I am in the
process of changing my
area.
2____
In
college,there are so many good
chances for you to meet your
expectations.However,there is a
very important difference between wanting to do something and
applying for something.In order for you to take full advantage of
the
conferences,researches,internships(实习),and
fellowships that your university
offers,apply! Step into your
academic advisor’s
office,introduce
yourself,and begin making the
valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of
your college career.Great things happen when you step out of your
comfort zone,and you would be
surprised on how many chances exist if you just
ask.
3____
College is where you meet your
bridesmaids,groomsmen,neighbors,and
potential bosses.The relationships you develop now will probably be
linked to the ones you value
later,so be wise about the people
who you invest yourself in.You are only one
person,and you do not have time
to waste on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with
your purpose.Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who
challenge you to be better while loving you for who you
are,and be patient to the people
who are the complete opposite of that
description.
4____
As a
first-year,I
was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I
noticed.It was not until I became involved in student government
that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with
the help of ASUCR Office of the President.During my first
quarter,I spoke directly to the
Chancellor(校长),asking
him for support towards my
initiatives(提议),met
with the Vice Chancellors,and
cooperated with my teaching assistants to begin my undergraduate
research project.Nothing good will happen when you are
silent.
5____
At my high
school,there were about only four
active clubs and organizations that students could be a part
of.Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s
campus,where over 400
organizations exist,ranging from
political organizations to karate club.You are not paying all of
your tuition(学费)to merely go to
class,study,pass
tests and graduate.Make something worthy out of your
experience.Create stories that you will want to tell your
grandchildren one day.It all begins
here,by signing up to join an
organization.

Building Trust in a
Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior
that we gain from past experiences.__1__ Trust is a risk.But you
can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship
that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no
responsibility to fix the
mistake.
Unfortunately,we've
all been victims of betrayal.Whether we've been stolen
from,lied
to,misled,or
cheated on,there are different
levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can't trust
anymore.__2__ It's
understandable,but if you're
willing to build trust in a relationship
again,we have some steps you can
take to get you
there.
●__3__ Having confidence in
yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what
the best outcome would be for your
wellbeing.
●
__4__
●You
didn't lose “everything”.Once
trust is lost,what is
left?Instead of looking at the
situation from this hopeless
angle,look at everything you
still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.__5__
Instead,it's a healthy way to
work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and
forgiveness.
A.Learn
to really trust
yourself.
B.It
is putting confidence in
someone.
C.Stop
regarding yourself as the
victim.
D.Remember

the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what
happened.

careful preparation and
steady,gradual increases in the
length of the runs.__1__,buy the
bestfitting,bestbuilt
running shoes you can find.No one can say which brand will work
best for you or feel best on your
feet,so you have to rely on your
experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop.When you have
found shoes that seem right,walk
in them for a few days to doublecheck the
fit.__2__.As always,you should
stretch(伸展) at least ten minutes
before each run to prevent
injuries.
During
the first week,do not think about
distance,but run five minutes
longer each day.__3__,it is wise
to take a day off to rest.But during the next
week,set a goal of at least a
mile and a half per run.__4__.After two
weeks,start timing
yourself.__5__.Depending on the kind of race you plan to

This Way to
Dreamland
Daydreaming means people
think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them
forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation
for being unaware of what's happening around them. They can seem
forgetful and clumsy. __1__ They annoy us because they seem to be
ignoring us and missing the important
things.
But daydreamers are also
responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in
human history. __2__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would
have without such ideas and
inventions?
So how can we come up with
brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise
looking like a fool?
First,
understand that some
opportunities(机会) for daydreaming
are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to
slip into daydreams. __3__ And if you want to improve your chances
of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming, try to do it
while you are involved in another
task,preferably something simple,
like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless
drawings.
It's
also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when
you really need to concentrate.
“Mindfulness”, being focused, is
a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.
__4__
Finally, you never know
what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly
away. __5__
Always remember that your
best ideas might come when your head is actually in the
clouds.
A.Having
interesting things to think about also
helps.
B.They
stare off into space and wander by
themselves.
C.Without
wandering minds, we wouldn't have relativity, Coke or
Postit
notes.
D.At
one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental
illnesses.
E.It
involves slow, steady breathing for selfcontrol
that helps people stay calm and
attentive.
F.Daydreams
are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which
may be hard to
understand.
G.Therefore,
it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when
you're

Evaluating Sources
(来源) of Health
Information
Making
good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation.A
key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look
carefully at your sources of health information.Reasonable
evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant
information,how to separate fact
from opinion,how to recognize
poor reasoning,and how to analyze
information and the reliability of
sources.__1__
Go to
the original source.Media reports often simplify the results of
medical research.Find out for yourself what a study really
reported,and determine whether it
was based on good science.Think about the type of
study.__2__
Watch
for misleading language.Some studies will find that a
behavior“contributes to”or is“associated with”an
outcome;this does not mean that a
certain course must lead to a certain result.__3__ Carefully read
or listen to information in order to fully understand
it.
Use
your common sense.If a report seems too good to be
true,probably it is.Be especially
careful of information contained in advertisements.__4__
Evaluate“scientific”statements
carefully,and be aware of
quackery(江湖骗术).
__5__ Friends and family members can
be a great source of ideas and
inspiration,but each of us needs
to find a healthy lifestyle that works for
us.
Developing the ability to
evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will
serve you well throughout your
life.
A.Make
choices that are right for
you.
B.The
goal of an ad is to sell you
something.
C.Be
sure to work through the critical
questions.
D.And
examine the findings of the original
research.
E.Distinguish
between research reports and public health
advice.
F.Be
aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an
author's point of
view.
G.The
following suggestions can help you sort through the health
information you receive from common
sources.

The
jobs of the future have not yet been invented.__1__ By helping them
develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the
future holds.
1.Curiosity
Your children need to be deeply
curious.__2__ Ask kids,“What
ingredients (配料) can we add to
make these pancakes even better next
time?”and then try them out.Did
those ingredients make the pancakes
better?What could we try next
time?
2.Creativity
True creativity is the
ability to take something existing and create something new from
it.__3__ There are a dozen different things you can do with
them.Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a
long way in helping them develop their
creativity.
3.Interpersonal
Skills
Understanding how others feel can be
a challenge for kids.We know what's going on inside our own
head,but what about
others?Being able to read people
helps kids from misreading a situation and jumping to false
conclusions.__4__“Why do you think she's
crying?”“Can you tell how that
man is feeling by looking at his
face?”“If someone were to do that
to you,how would you
feel?”
4.Self
Ex-pression
__5__
There are many ways to express thoughts and
ideas—music,acting,drawing,building,photography.You
may find that your child is attracted by one more than
another.
A.Encourage
kids to cook with
you.
B.And
we can't forget science
education.
C.We
can give kids chances to think about materials in new
ways.
D.So
how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don't yet
exist?
E.Gardening
is another great activity for helping kids develop this
skill.
F.We
can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in
stories.
G.Being
able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable
skill.

Eyesight plays a very important role
in our daily life.Every waking
moment,the eyes are working to
see the world around us.Over forty percent of Americans worry about
losing eyesight,but it's easy to
include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes.Here are
five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy
eyesight:
·
Schedule yearly exams.__1__Experts advise parents to bring babies 6
to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check.The good news
is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and
following treatment,including
eyeglasses.
·
Protect against UV rays
(紫外线).Longterm
stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes.No matter what the season
is,it's extremely important to
wear
sunglasses.__2__
· Give
your eyes a break.Twothirds of Americans spend up
to seven hours a day using computers or other digital
products.__3__
·__4__
·Practice safe wear and care of
contact lenses
(隐形眼镜).Many
Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight.While some
follow the medical guidance for wearing contact
lenses,many are breaking the
rules and putting their eyesight at
risk.__5__
A.Eat
your greens.
B.Eye
care should begin early in
life.
C.They
can properly protect your
eyes.
D.Stay
in good shape by taking more
vitamins.
E.Parents
usually don't care about their own
eyesight.
F.Always
follow the doctor's advice for appropriate
wear.

The world’s fastest runners come
from Jamaica.In the past decade most of the sprint events have been
dominated by male and female runners from the Caribbean
island.Usain Bolt,Asafa Powell
and Verona Campbell-Brown are
among Jamaica’s world record holders and Olympic gold
medalists.
__1__
In former times sprinters were poor people who came from the
slums.When they saw they had talent they got scholarships at
American colleges.They experienced world class training there
but,nevertheless,did
not feel at home.Today,Jamaica
has the money to employ top
coaches,so Jamaican sprinters
stay at home.Here they are more relaxed and can perform
better.
In
Jamaica,children start running at
a very early age.When they get to
school,teachers and athletic
coaches watch them run and
walk.Then,depending on their
talent they are sent to track and field
clubs.__2__
Another reason for Jamaica’s success
on tracks around the world is food.A typical breakfast includes
salt fish with yams,bananas and
maybe a cup of tea.It contains carbohydrates which runners need to
perform
well.
__4__
The
success of Bolt,Powell and others
has triggered
hype(天花乱坠的广告宣传)among Jamaican
children.These are their idols and they want to be just like
them.
A.A
tough competition may be one of the reasons why Jamaicans are so
good.
B.Nutritionists
argue that the diet of Jamaican children is one of the keys to
success.
C.Jamaican
athletes are also built differently from
non-blacks.
D.Running
has changed in
Jamaica.
E.Most
of the country’s world class runners started out in the two leading
track clubs.
F.Hard
training and iron will is essential to be among the best in the
world.
G.However,there
is no evidence of such a
gene.

The days when a cellphone was used
for nothing beyond calling and texting are
gone.Today,we turn smart phones
into magical machines with apps that transform them into musical
instruments or business machines or video players.But it turns out
that we are only searching the surface.Who knew that smart phones
would make pretty good
satellites?__1__
Smart phones forecast the
weather
Networking expert Open Signal has
discovered something
interesting:the sensors in
Android phones designed to measure battery
temperature,light,pressure
and 80 on can be used to generate surprisingly accurate weather
reports.__2__
Smart
phones save the
rainforests
Detecting
illegal logging(盗伐) may sound
like a novel
app,__3__:in
Indonesia,the
non-profit organization
Rainforest Connection’ wants to use donated Android phones to
detect illegal logging.As New scientist
reports,“The phones are equipped
with solar panels specifically designed to take advantage of the
brief periods when light reaches the forest floor.Their microphones
stay on at all time,and the
software listens for the sound of a chainsaw
(链锯).”
__4__
Researchers at the university of
Illinois have developed an iPhones app that turns the phone into a
fully featured mobile medical lab that uses the phone’s camera to
detect
proteins,bacteria,viruses
and other
organisms.
Smart phones drive
cars
Google’s
self-driving cars carry around
$30,000 of
high-tech hardware and
sensors,but students at
Australia’s Griffith University think they can get the job done
with a single smart
phone.__5__
A.but
it’s a serious
business
B.Here

In
many countries of the world, people do what is called house
sitting.It means that if owners of the house are going away, they
want someone to come into their home and look after the house and
maybe pets while they are
away.
In
Australia, many people travel.After people retire, they might buy a
van and travel all over the
country.__1__.
So
if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might
want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens
tidy.House sitters might have to care for pets.Also, quite a few
people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need
cleaning.__2__.I feel it is a
great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new
city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a
new area.
__3__.There
are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want
to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make
arrangements to go and look after their
home.
There
are some requirements to be a house sitter.You must be a trusted
person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal
anything.You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to
go, so you need lots of free
time.__4__.You need to be good
with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may
have.
Some house sitting jobs are
just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners
have a short holiday.Sometimes it is for much longer.We have had
one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to
Europe.
__5__.Then
you can travel to many different countries and stay there.One of
the important things to get is references from the home owners
where you have stayed.A reference is a written letter to say that
you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well.You can
show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you
will do a good job.
A.I
have done house sitting many
times.
B.Thousands
of people do this all the
time.
C.It
is also possible to do house sitting in other
countries.
D.Generally
you have many opportunities to get a house sitting
job.
E.You
must take a little care over what your description says about
you.
F.This
is an international house sitting service for all city and country
areas.
G.You
must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the
country.

How
to Care for Your
Ears?
Ears not only let us hear,
but they also play a role in maintaining our balance, which is
vital to our ability to function in daily life.Yet, we ignore
them.We can’t even see our ears, except in a mirror.We take for
granted what they do for us day in and day out—until we notice
something’s wrong, such as when an earache strikes or when we start
having to ask people to repeat what they
say.__1__
◆Clean your ear
with a washcloth—covered finger
only.
Never
put anything inside your ear canal, including cotton swabs
(药签).__2__
◆Leave
earwax(耳垢)
alone.
Wax is
your ear’s way of eliminating(消除)
anything foreign that gets into the ear canal.__3__If you find you
have too much earwax, use a few drops of earwax
remover(去除剂) in the canal.After a
few minutes, wash the ear with warm
water.
◆Avoid noisy
places.
Rock concerts and
construction sites are just a few places that frequently have noise
levels that can damage hearing.Any place where you have to shout to
be heard should be
avoided.
◆__4__
Be
careful not to play MP3 too loud, especially if using
earphone.
◆Be careful with
illness and
medications.
Respiratory
(呼吸的) illnesses should be treated
to avoid their spread to the ears.Certain medications can damage
hearing, so follow the directions carefully before taking
them.
See your doctor if you
suffer from sudden hearing loss or hear noises in your
head.__5__

people don’t need to clean wax out of their
ears.
