A small group of people around the world have started implanting(移植) microchips to link the body and the computer.
Mr. Donelson and three friends, who had driven 100 miles from their homes in Loockport, New York, to have the implants put in by Dr. Jesse Villemaire, whom they had persuaded to do the work, are part of a small group, about 30 people around the world, who have independently put in microchips into their bodies, according to Web-based reports.
At a shop William Donelson was having a four-millimeter-wide needle put into his left hand. “I’m set,”he said with a deep breath. He watched as the needle pierced(刺穿) the fleshy webbing between his thumb and a microchip was set under his skin. At last he would be able to do what he had long imagined: strengthen his body’s powers through technology.
By putting the chip inside—a radio frequency identification device (RFID)—Mr. Donelson would have at his fingertips the same magic that makes safety gates open with a knock of a card, and bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass. With a wave of his hand he plans to connect with his computer, open doors and unlock his car.
Implanting the chip was relatively simple task but very meaningful to Mr. Doneselson, a 21-year-old computer networking student so interested in the link between technology and the body that he has data-input jacks(數據輸入插空) inside his body. They might lead to an imagined future when people can be connected directly into computers. His new chip is enclosed in a glass container no bigger than a piece of rice and has a small memory where he has stored the words “Technology”.
Some doctors have done the piercing in people’s homes, and others have implanted chips in their offices after patients signed forms showing the fact that long-term studies have not been done on their safety. Piercers treat the implants much like any other medical operation steps, instructing people to keep the site dry, and advising them that swelling and redness should last a week.
1.With a RFID implanted, which of the following will Mr. Donelson be able to do?
A. Make a safety gate open with a knock of a card.
B. Make bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass.
C. Open doors and unlock his car with a wave of his hand.
D. Turn his body and brain directly into computers.
2. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to “___________”.
A. glass containers
B. implanted computer chips
C. data input jacks
D. computer and networking students
3. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. High Tech, Under the Skin
B. A Needle, So Magic
C. Donelson, a Powerful Man
D. Data-input Jacks, Inside the Body
4.We can conclude from the passage that __________________.
A. Mr. Donelson has made a large sum of money by the piercing.
B. the Piercers are people working in the computer field
C. the piercing has no side effect and it will make people intelligent
D. the long term effects of these implants are not yet known
5.What will happen to the site on the body after the operation?
A. There will be swelling and redness.
B. The site will be dry.
C. Nothing will happen at all.
D. The pain will remain for a week.

I can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. You’ll find that some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them!
★ Tomatina — Bunol, Spain
Every last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world’s biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles (護目鏡) during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river.
★ Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South Korea
For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妝品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.
★ Holi — India
Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world.
★ International Pillow Fight Day — Worldwide
Tens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2, 2013. From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries. So just bring a soft pillow in early April, and watch feathers fly.

Regularly staying late at the office significantly increases the risk of having a stroke or heart attack, researchers have found, working just an hour extra each day pushes up stroke risk by 10 per cent, according to a huge review of working patterns. And people who work an extra three hours a day--or 55 hours a week--are 33 per cent more likely to have a stroke, the scientists found.
The research, published in the Lancet medical journal, is based on health records of more than 500, 000 people across Europe, the US and Australia.
Scientists led by University College London warned that people who work longer hours tend to do less exercise, sit at a computer for hours at a time and drink more than people with a better work-life balance. Repeated stress may also be to blame for greater health problems, the scientists think.
They looked at the combined result of 17 previous studies, in which 529, 000 people were tracked over an average of seven years.
Experts stressed that the study had only found a link between hours worked and heart problems---it had not proved what had actually caused each death. But they warned people to take note of the findings.
Dr Tim Chico, consultant cardiologist at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, said “For many people, reducing their working hours would be difficult or impossible, and this study does not show that it would reduce the risk of stroke." Most of us could reduce the amount of time we spend sitting down, increase our physical activity and improve our diet while working and this might be more important the more time we spend at work.
1.Which areas are involved in the research?
A. The US, Australia and Russia.
B. Japan, Britain and China.
C. China, Russia and Japan.
D. Europe, the US and Australia.
2.Which factor is NOT the cause of the higher risk of health problems?
A. Excessive drinking. B. A healthy diet.
C. Repeated stress. D. Lack of exercise
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A. People who work longer are less likely to suffer a stroke.
B. All the deaths are caused by working long hours.
C. The research was based on the tracking of over 500, 000 people.
D. Reduced working hours will surely decrease the risk of stroke.
4.Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. A news report.
B. A science magazine.
C. A psychological journal.
D. A hospital introduction.

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”---Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life---you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 1.
1. Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. 2. Pick 2-3 important things--- or even just one important thing--- and work on those first. Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.
2. 3.
Meeting are usually a “big waste of time”. And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.
3. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.
When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: 4. What would happen if I stopped doing them?
4. Practice mindfulness.
5. , rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.
Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing , so can you.
A. Have fewer meetings
B. How necessary are these things?
C. Simply learn to live in the present
D. Focus not on quantity but on quality
E. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
F. The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations.
G. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.
