Task 1

Google, the Internet search-engine company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.

Aleem Walji works for Google.org -- the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where

infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, Google.org will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.

Google.org’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. Walji says microfinance (小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth.

Google.org will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars.

The creators of Google have promised to give Google.org about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year. Aleem Walji says this amount may increase in the future.

1. The purpose of Google’s investments is to ________. A) help poor people

B) develop new technology C) expand its own business

D) increase the power of information

2. According to Aleem Walji, the company’s first project is to ________. A) set up a new system to warn people of infectious diseases B) find out where infectious diseases develop C) identify the causes of infectious diseases D) cure patients of infectious diseases

3. What kind of businesses will benefit from Google.org’s second project? A) large enterprises

B) cross-national companies C) foreign-funded corporations

D) small and medium-sized businesses

4. From the fourth paragraph, we learn that Google’s money is also invested to help ________.

A) start more research programs B) make more advanced electric cars

C) develop renewable and coal-based energy D) conduct studies related to climate changes

5. From the last paragraph we learn that the investments by Google.org come from ________.

A) Google’s profits and stock value B) some international IT companies C) the company’s own interests D) local commercial banks

Task 2

Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that.

The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.

Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?

The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you.

In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.

6. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________. A) bosses are hard to deal with B) bosses have good character

C) bosses determine your career future D) bosses must have similar personality

7. In the second paragraph, “rise up the career ladder” (Line 2) means

Task 3

There's a lot we still don't understand when it comes to sleep. We know certain changes occur in the brain, and we have a few guesses as to why, but even the experts only have theories about many aspects of sleep in general and dreaming in particular.

Imagine the brain as a second gut, says Rubin Naiman, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist specializing in integrative sleep and dream medicine at the University of Arizona. \night, the brain metaphorically swallows, digests and sifts through information, and, just like the gut, eliminates,\

But there's plenty about dreaming we only think we know. Below, a few of the little-known facts and false myths about dreams.

We dream all night long. You've probably heard that dreams only occur during rapid eye movement or REM sleep. But we're actually constantly dreaming, says Naiman. We're more tuned in to dreams during REM sleep, he says. As the night progresses, periods of REM sleep lengthen, so the majority of our dreams occur within the latter third of the night, he says.

Insects and fish don't have REM sleep. Although some dreams happen outside of REM sleep, identifying rapid eye movement in other species is about as close as we can get to predicting whether those creatures dream, according to University of California researchers. But all mammals and reptiles and some birds do experience REM sleep, and therefore likely dream, according to Popular Science.

You're less likely to remember a dream if your alarm jolts you awake. The trauma of an alarm dragging you into the waking world can cause you to forget where you were floating just moments before. The best way to remember your dreams, says Naiman, is to allow yourself to wake up slowly, over a matter of minutes, lolling about in your grogginess. \

People who remember their dreams show different brain activity. A 2014 study found more spontaneous activity in a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction among people who regularly recall their dreams, compared with people who rarely do. Previous research found that people who remember more dreams also react more to sounds during sleep (and while awake) than people who don't remember many dreams.

Your body reacts to dreams as it would if you were awake. There's little as frustrating as waking up mad at someone from something he or she did in a dream, only to realize there's no way you can talk those feelings out and still sound sane. But biologically, it makes sense that those feelings linger after your eyes open, says Naiman. \in almost exactly the same way,\

We dream in real time. Despite the myth that our dreams occur in a split second, in reality dreams can play out for 20, 30, even 60 minutes, says Naiman. They're likely only a couple of minutes long at the beginning of the night and lengthen along with REM periods as the night progresses.

Nightmares aren't always about fear. Bad dreams are surely scary, but there are other underlying emotions at work. In a 2014 study, researchers analyzed dream logs of 331 people and found that many nightmares and bad dreams elicited feelings of failure, worry, confusion, sadness and guilt. The researchers also found that men are more likely to have bad dreams centered around violence or physical aggression, while women's bad dreams focused on relationship conflict.

Your dreams aren't weird, that is, until you call them weird. \wake up and step into the waking world and look at the dream that it seems weird,\says Naiman. Comparing \in the dreaming and waking worlds is like comparing dietary customs in two wildly different cultures, he says, making one seem

strange in the context of the other. \dreams from the waking world,\dictionaries.

You can die in your dreams -- and live to tell the tale. A great number of people believe the popular myth that dying in a dream means... you're dead, but Naiman says there's no truth to it. In fact, he encourages exploring, saying, \you ever have an opportunity to die in a dream, I say go for it!\be rather anti-climatic, he says. \is immortal, independent of the body, but however you look at it it's an interesting experience.\
