"This can really set you up in a good mood--even if it's Just going by ‎ the farmers' market and getting fresh strawberries,"says Alice Domar Get up. ‎ The longer you lie there, the more you ruminate, and the darker your outlook is likely to become. So make a cup of coffee, take a shower, feed the cat, drink...Make sure to drink two glasses of water upon awakening, the time when our bodies are dehydrated(脱水). Dehydration causes tiredness, which affects your mood. ‎ Move it. ‎ You already know the number one way of chasing away a bad mood: exercise. A workout at the gym sure helps. But even Just a few minutes of movement-a fast walk, for example--raises energy and reduces tension, says mood expert Robert Thayer. ‎ Be kind and thankful. ‎ This isn't exactly news, but generosity and gratitude are both big contributors to happiness, according to Todd B. Kashdan, PhD, who directs the Laboratory for the Study of Social Anxiety, Character Strengths and Related Phenomena at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.

Your ‎ car will change even more than that in the next 10 years. ‎ One of the big changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may ‎ not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it ‎ will drive itself. ‎ ‎“We definitely have the technology for it now,” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier QNX. “We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.” ‎ The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years. ‎ These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California. Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars have no steering wheels ‎ ‎(方向盘) or pedals(踏板). ‎ Last week, police ordered one of Google's cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak with the operators of the vehicle. ‎ According to Google, its self-driving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers.

Within days a cloud of smog was hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. ‎ When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars，it soon became poisonous(有毒的). Dangerous amounts of carbon dioxide became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose. People coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately. ‎ The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot (烟灰) covered everything. In some areas, tap water was used from ‎ high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog. ‎ Finally, heavy rains, which came in November, put out the fires and cleared the air. But the environmental costs and health problems will remain. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In lowland forests, elephants, deer, ‎ and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog. ‎ But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact, the word was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog. Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents. About 4,000 Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952. ‎ ‎32.When did the forest fires most probably happen? ‎ A. In July. B. In October. C. In November. D.

"Hey, We 62 (have) a party on Friday. Can you come?" ‎ ‎ To reply to an invitation(邀请）, either say thank you and accept, or say you 're sorry and give 63 excuse. "Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh, sorry. I have a ticket 64 a movie." ‎ Sometimes, however, people use words that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example, " Please come over for a drink sometime." "Why not 65 (get) ‎ together for a party sometime?" "Why don't you come over ‎ and see us sometime soon?" ‎ ‎ They are really just polite ways of 66 (end) a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't mention（提到；谈到） a certain time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be 67 (friend). To reply to 68 (express) like these, people just say "Sure, that would be great! " or ‎ ‎"OK. Yes, thanks." ‎ ‎ So next time when you hear 69 sounds like an invitation, listen 70 (careful). Is it a real invitation or is the person just being polite? ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） ‎ 第一节：短文改错：（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分）下面短文中有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个的单词。 ‎ ‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写上该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（﹨）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写上修改后的词。 ‎ 注意： 1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； ‎ ‎ 2．只允许修改10 处，多者（从第11 处起）不计分。 ‎ ‎ ‎ Henry is one of my neighbor. He is different from many other young men. He prefers to read at home rather than going out to enjoy a night life with friends. He buys many books every month, so there are plenty books in his house.
