In winter，when the sun hides behind the clouds，everyone feels a bit low. You may be tired and find you want to sleep all the time. What you may not know is：you are suffering from (患有) SAD(季節(jié)性抑郁癥)．
But don't worry—it's normal. Colder temperatures and fewer hours of daylight can steal your energy and put you in a bad mood.
Read on to find out what SAD is and what you can do to help yourself or those around you.
These days，Linda，a US teenager spends most of her holidays sleeping instead of doing sports outside. She has also had trouble concentrating(集中精力) on her homework. When her mother asks her what's wrong，Linda doesn't know what to tell her. Linda may not realize it yet，but she's suffering from SAD. It causes people to sleep，eat sweet food and get sad or angry for no reason.
About 15 percent of American people now suffer from SAD in winter according to the US Department of Health. The US government has taken measures to help people beat it. Local communities encourage people to take part in activities such as exercise，dance or art. And they advise people not to eat too much sweet food.
Like in the US，cold northern European countries such as Finland，Iceland and Russia see a large number of people suffer from SAD every year. So，the sunlamp is widely used in these countries. It's an electric lamp which is just like a “l(fā)ittle sun” that gives off light to make people think the sun is shining and feel better.
小題1:Colder ________ and less ________ are the main causes of SAD.
小題2:Linda is feeling ________ and doesn't ________ doing sports because she's suffering from SAD.
小題3:      people suffer from SAD in        northern European countries.
小題4:In some northern European countries，the ________ is widely used to make people feel____ .
小題5:Taking an active part in ________ and eating ________ sweet food can help people beat SAD.

小題1:temperature;daylight
小題2:sleepy;like       
小題3:many;cold
小題4:sunlamp;better
小題5:sports;little

閱讀下列短文,根據(jù)短文中的信息完成文后表格。在標有題號的橫線上，寫出空缺處所填單詞的正確形式。（每空一詞）
There are many things you can do to improve your memo­ry. Among them are many kinds of useful ways as well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activi­ties and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain(大腦)to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most impor­tant things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.
An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep ， your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.
In order to keep your mind on your work ， you must be free from worry. Generally, keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well — not just for improving your memory.

Nobody likes making mistakes. But, no one is perfect. If you can learn from mistakes correctly, they can move you forward. Therefore, we should analyse how you can learn from them.
If you have made mistakes that harm other people, it is important to offer a sincere apology (道歉)in person. A good apology will likely make the other person forgive you. If you refuse to apologize, the person hurt by you will hold it against you.
If you go through life afraid to make a mistake, you will spend most of you life doing nothing. There is no harm in making mistakes; it is an essential part of going forward. The more duties you take, the more likely you will make mistakes.
Unluckily, it is our natural instinct（本能） to justify（為……辯解） our actions. When you make a mistake, you will first blame someone else. When mistakes are made, the boss is unlikely to be interested in justifications. Sometimes it is best to say, very simply--yes, I made a mistake.
Mistakes happen for various reasons. To avoid（避免）repeating them, you need to understand the main reason. For example, you may have made a mistake by saying some unkind words. If you make mistakes because you are tired, try to get more sleep; if you are stressed, look at ways to relax and keep away from the stress of work.
You should avoid feeling guilty about making mistakes, but at the same time, you should make a decision to learn from them. If you repeat the same mistakes, it shows you aren’t making progress and they cause repeating suffering. Often mistakes are caused by bad habits. To avoid making the same mistakes you need to break these bad habits. The sooner, the better.

Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle(不工作的) people. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate(失業(yè)率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality(現(xiàn)實). By work, people come into contact with each other. By taking part in some activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment(充實感) and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.

What’s going to happen in the future? Here are some things that scientists say is most likely to happen 10 to 30 years from now.
1. Digital money
We used to pay with cash（現(xiàn)金）for everything we bought. In fact, we are already using one type of digital money, when we swipe（刷）our bus pass or use a credit card（信用卡）to shop online.
You have to admit that using a card is much easier than searching your pocket for change. It is also _________ than _________a lot of cash with you. You needn’t worry about your cash being stolen. People in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year and the US might be next.
2. Bionic（仿生的）eye
（1）People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back---by wearing bionic eyes. A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data into the brain.
Although the bionic eye that’s out now only allow patients to see lights and unclear shapes, a high resolution（高清的）version could be just a few years away.
3. Self-driving car
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t be distracted （分神）by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors（探測器）and cameras on the car would allow it to keep strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. Many vehicle companies are now planning self-driving cars. By 2040, driverless vehicles will be the main vehicles on the road.

根據(jù)下面表中的內(nèi)容，找到相對應的規(guī)則。
How to be a good detective
Have you seen the Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes? Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were so popular that Holmes soon became “the most famous detective in the world”. What do you need to be a good detective? The movie Sherlock Holmes will show you.
In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood. Together with his best friend Dr Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood’s plan to control the world with black “magic”.
Most of us are not as intelligent as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our own. All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.

小題1:No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. In the movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very intelligent. The difference is that Lord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice.
小題2:Every bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. A good detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmes can simply look at a man’s footprints and quickly find out his personal information like age and habits.
小題3:Even though Holmes has knowledge about many subjects , such as chemistry, botany(植物學) and anatomy, he still needs Dr Watson’s help to fight with him. We should also have someone to help you, especially if you don’t know as much as Holmes.
小題4:A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together, you’d better think carefully. If you can’t work it out, don’t be afraid. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.
A．Have sharp eyes.
B．Logic (邏輯) is the key.
C．A good assistant is a great help.
D．Justice (正義) is most important.
小題5:Holmes is a character created by _______.
A．Lord Blackwood B．Sir Arthur DoyleC．Dr WatsonD．Charles Dickens
