Section A
In this section there are several passages followed by some questions or unfinished staments, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.
Text A
It's outstanding that people in this country are open-minded enough to consider candidates from either party and be receptive to ideas from across party lines. But being undecided just before an election may be an indication that some people don't know their own minds. Election season shouldn't be the time to ponder what issues are important to you; rather, it should be the time to ponder which candidate best represents your views on the issues that are meaningful. Having an opinion on the issues of the day is something that should happen throughout the year. Knowing whether you think tax cuts are wise, if farm subsidies make sense, or if stem cell research is important to you means establishing your own platform, regardless of who's in office or who's running for office. Why is having an opinion important? Because the opposite is so harmful. When citizens tune out, when they become apathetic, disillusioned, or disconnected, it gives politicians, corporations, and the media the freedom to do as they please. Suddenly, scandals start happening, bad laws start being passed, and the dating habits of today's hot starlet become the stuff of news. Commit to becoming a bit of a newshound. Whether you prefer newspapers, television, the Internet, or radio, stay abreast of current issues. Read opinion magazines to see what other people are thinking about, and create your own list of priorities. Remember: The best way to judge your officials' on-the-job performance is to know how they have handled the matters of greatest concern to you over the years – not how well they did in a speech a few days before being up for reelection. Likewise, evaluate new candidates based on their command of the issues you're passionate about, not on how telegenic they are.
82.
According to the passage, people who are undecided before the election always _______.
A) make a rash decision on voting
B) fail to vote for the candidate they really need
C) feel hesitated when deciding on the vote
D) have doubts about the candidate from both parties
83.
The expression "establishing your own platform" in Paragraph 2 means _______.
A) setting up your own way to deliver a speech
B) creating your own platform in the election
C) building your own image before the public
D) making sure of your own political views
84.
The writer thinks it is harmful for people to have no opinion because of the following EXCEPT ________.
A) they would easily be misled by what they hear or see
B) they would become indifferent and disappointed
C) they would cut off their connection with voting
D) they would pay scanty attention to the news that really matter
85.
The word "newshound" in Paragraph 4 probably means the same with the word _______.
A) newsboy
B) newsvendor
C) newsmaker
D) newshawk
86.
Which of the following is INCORRECT concerning the writer's attitude?
A) People should support the candidates who best represent their views.
B) Sometimes people need to judge a candidate with a long-term view.
C) People should pay little regard to what others are thinking about.
D) People should always listen to the views from both parties.
Text B
Depression is a life-threatening disorder that seems to be triggered by stress, hormones, genetic glitches, medical conditions, medication, and maybe even the kitchen sink. Its onset is predicted by insomnia, insomnia usually accompanies it, and insomnia is usually the last symptom to disappear. Maybe that's why, as Ruth Benca, M.D., Ph.D., and director of the sleep program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says, "All the things that are good sleep therapy are good depression therapy, too." Here are the strategies that can help you beat both. Check with your primary-care physician. Depression can be the side effect of a laundry list of illnesses – cancer, for one; sleep apnea, for another – and medications. So if you're feeling down for any length of time, your first step is your primary-care physician. See a psychiatrist. Depression can kill, and the medications frequently used to rebalance your brain chemicals can be tricky. So once your primary-care physician has ruled out medical conditions and medication as a cause of depression, even if you're comfortable with your primary physician's care, you might want to ask for a referral to a psychiatrist. Your primary-care physician may be able to deal with depression as a temporary side effect or the everyday blues, but it's a psychiatrist who is trained in the ins and outs of major depression and its treatment, and it's a psychiatrist who is most able to suggest the treatment option that, tailored to your particular situation and combination of issues, is most likely to succeed. Think about the Big 3. The three approaches doctors usually suggest for major depression are antidepressant medication and either cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), says James P. Krainson, M.D., a sleep medicine specialist at Miami's South Florida Sleep Diagnostic Center. "Most depression responds to medication," he adds. Since it's likely to be caused by a biochemical imbalance in your brain, a chemical can frequently help. Fortunately, however, depression responds well to all three treatments. In a review of studies conducted at Vanderbilt University, researchers found that medication had a rapid and robust effect, plus it prevented the return of symptoms for as long as it was taken. In the review, both CBT and IPT seemed to be just as effective as medication. In particular, IPT might help the individual work out personal issues, while CBT seemed to have an enduring effect that reduced the risk of future depressive episodes – a big concern among doctors. Combined treatment with both medication and therapy seemed the best choice, the researchers concluded, since combination therapy seemed to boost the effectiveness of each.

C) A primary-care physician is unable to treat depression.
D) A psychiatrist is professionally capable of providing appropriate treatments.

Text C
We want it. We strive for it. We envy others who have it. We can see it just beyond the horizon ... as soon as we get richer, thinner, married, divorced, younger, older, find a dream job, or quit a lousy one. Yet, how many people do you know who "have everything" and still yearn for true happiness? The kind of happiness I'm talking about is that kind that comes from within and is not based on status, position, wealth, or possessions. It's a natural resource that is readily available to all. Happiness is a choice. It had previously been thought that the brain is unchanged by life experiences. Recent breakthroughs in psychology, neurology, and chemistry have revealed that happiness is attainable, and the brain can actually change as a result of conscious selection of thoughts. Experts in the field have given happiness a nickname – "subjective well-being". One person's Hell may be Paradise for another. For example, bungee jumping would be sheer torture for me to endure. For a thrill-seeker friend of mine, this activity represents ultimate joy. Clearly our set points are based on different subjective criteria. Each of us is born with a genetically coded happiness "set point" which is not based entirely on what happens to us. This explains why some people are naturally cheerful most of the time, while others walk around with a permanent scowl on their faces – determined in part by their genetic predisposition. However, according to University of Minnesota professor emeritus of psychology David Lykken, "Happiness is genetically influenced, although it is not genetically fixed. The brain's structure can be modified through practice. If you really want to be happier than your grandparents provided for in your genes, you have to learn the kinds of things you can do, day by day, to bounce your set point up and avoid the things that bounce it down." A study conducted with identical twins raised in different environments suggests that an individual's set point determines about 50% of their disposition to happiness. In other words, some people are happy, regardless of their less-than-ideal circumstances, while others are unhappy, even when they seem to "have it all". According to Ed Diener, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois and coeditor of the Journal of Happiness Studies, a number of tools can be used to raise subjective well-being.Here are some examples: Getting enough sleep Getting enough exercise Nurturing close relationships – connection, physical touch Maintaining an optimistic outlook – choosing positive thoughts Keeping a gratitude journal Forgiving others and letting go Utilizing signature strengths (honesty, kindness, ingenuity, love of learning, etc.) in service of something larger than yourself Acting happy by changing your physiology Meditation Meditation is a very effective way to change subjective well-being. Richard Davidson, professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin, found in his research that high levels of activity at the left frontal area of the cerebral cortex coincided with feelings of happiness, joy, and alertness. Activity on the right frontal area corresponded to feelings of sadness, anxiety, and worry. Since meditation generates more left-brain activity, studies have concluded that it offers a way to produce more positive emotion. Even in the midst of hardship, one can experience simple pleasures by using some of the tools listed above.

Text D
When a person marries or commits to someone who they feel is "The One" (Mr. Right), they assume that they will never experience similar feelings toward another person again in their life. Unfortunately, except for chick-flick love stories, this is not always true. If it were, the divorce rate would decrease, less domestic violence would occur and fewer antacids (抗酸剂) would be sold. The truth is that we are all human and when we allow ourselves to be, we are quite vulnerable to developing significant feelings for others. The telling factor in defining our character is how we act upon what we feel. When you meet someone new and exciting (Mr. Right Now) what you are experiencing is the WOW phenomenon, someone has shown an interest in you and you are flattered. At this point, you and your significant other may have become so "comfortable" in your relationship that you have begun to take each other for granted and have stopped courting one another. Spontaneity has given way to standardization. Romance to routine. Yours may have become a relationship of convenience and obligation, opening the door for this dilemma to materialize. Currently, with Mr. Right Now, you are in the Infatuation Stage. He can do no wrong, and you can't stop thinking of him. You probably can't eat or sleep, and every song you hear or card you read reminds you of him. If you traded personal information, you are probably checking your e-mail and voice mail every 15 minutes to see if he has communicated with you. If you spend more time with him, this phase will gradually wear off and his faults and imperfections will become more evident. You may even find that although he is different from your boyfriend (past, at this point), you don't like the differences. This will leave you seeking Mr. Next. Yours is a situation that cannot be hidden from your boyfriend as he will sense and observe changes in how you are communicating with him. Thus, you must take an inventory of your feelings and desires. If someone else could so quickly and easily alter your feelings, then several aspects of your present relationship desperately need to be evaluated. Months of commitment deserves as least "further review" before you make a final decision. Remember, the character of a person is not measured by how they react when things are going well, rather how they react in times of difficulty. Whatever your decision, make sure it is well thought out and one you can look yourself in the mirror and live with.
