On the subway in Beijing, most people stare at their smartphones. Some play video games or watch TV dramas, while some choose to read.
Online novels are popular among these readers. In fact, more people are becoming registered users on online literature websites or smartphone applications. The total number of online literature website users had increased to over 500 million by the end of November 2018, according to a report from China Internet Network Information Center. This shows half of all netizens are online literature readers.
Many scholars estimate the number will keep increasing at an annual rate of tens of millions. Yet the fast growth due to the widespread adoption of the Internet and smartphones in the past 20 years was criticized by some writers as disorder. As the number of online literature works increases, some vulgar (低俗的) online novels have appeared. Ning Ken, the top prize winner of the First Online Literature Contest, said online literature needs guidance. “I think it should be something of high quality, rather than just a sort of entertainment. Its quality should be improved, ”said the writer.

A person might have a great job, a nice house, and a great group of friends. They might feel they have everything they need, and so, they just settle, stop moving and pushing themselves. After all, their life seems to be going fine. You might have seen this with friends or acquaintances. This is fine for a time; but the problem is, when people stop moving or pushing themselves, the world keeps spinning. Time moves forward. Staying in the same place and not seeking self-improvement has the exact same effect as moving backwards.
We’re living in a period of technological and social advancement never before seen. Technology has moved and developed more over the past one hundred years than it had in the previous thousand. With this speed of advancement, it’s easy to fall behind. Even if a person’s life seems to be going well now, and they don’t seek improvement, several years down the line, they may find that their lack of advancement and development in important skills may cause big problems in their lives. A person today who is comfortable in a job may be replaced by a machine tomorrow. Many people might soon find themselves out of a job.
Basically, no matter how hard we try, it’s impossible to predict how things will change over the next few years. We don’t know what skills will or won’t be needed. Nor do we know how our lives may change over the next few years. Something as simple as a new piece of technology can have an incredible impact on our lives. Because of this, you need to be ready to adapt and not fall into the trap of brief contentment.
A careful equation of things in your life and your skills is extremely useful. Pick one of your skills or an area of your life, and then critically evaluate it. Ask yourself how useful it is going to remain and how it is going to adapt to changing circumstances. After reviewing your skills and knowledge you’ll be able to decide which should be abandoned and which should be improved. It’s like throwing away old tools and devices that don’t work or are no longer useful, and replacing them with new better ones.
Staying ahead | |
Consequences of stopping moving ahead | Many people choose to stay in the same place and not to seek self-improvement, because they feel 1. with what they have, which is as 2. as moving backwards. |
3.for continuous learning | • The fest advancement of technology makes it difficult for people to keep 4. with the present society, and people might even become unemployed if they stop learning or mastering new skills. • Things are changing in a(n) 5. manner, and no one knows what new things will make a 6. to our lives. |
7.to staying ahead | • Carefully 8. your skills and knowledge. • 9. the outdated things with the better ones. |
Conclusion
| By considering our skills and 10. ourselves to the changing circumstances, we'll stay ahead in the changing world. |
“Could you see the whites of their eyes?” said the man, who was seated on a soap box.
“Nothing of the kind,” replied old Henry warmly. “Just a lot of figures running towards us, and I let go at where there appeared to be most. Bang!”
“Mr. Fleming, ” said the grocer — his respectful voice expressed somehow the old man’s exact social weight — “Mr. Fleming, you never were frightened much in those battles, were you?”
The veteran (老兵) looked down and smiled. Observing his manner, the entire group laughed a little. “Well, I guess I was,” he answered finally, “Pretty well scared, sometimes. Why, in my first battle, I thought the sky was falling down. I thought the world was coming to an end. You bet I was scared.”
Everyone laughed. Perhaps it seemed strange and rather wonderful to them that a man should admit the thing, and in the tone of their laughter there was probably more admiration than if old Fleming had declared that he had always been a lion. Moreover, they knew that he had ranked as an orderly sergeant (中士), and so their opinion of heroism was fixed. None, to be sure, knew how an orderly sergeant ranked, but then it was understood to be somewhere just shy of a major-general’s stars. So, when old Henry admitted that he had been frightened, there was a laugh.
“The trouble was,” said the old man, “I thought they were all shooting at me. Yes, sir, I thought every man in the other army was aiming at me in particular, and only me. And it seemed so unreasonable, you know. I wanted to explain to them what an almighty good fellow I was, because I thought then they might quit all trying to hit me. But I couldn’t explain, and they kept on being unreasonable. Blim! Blam! Bang! So, I ran!”
Two little triangles of wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. Evidently he appreciated some comedy in this storytelling. Down near his feet, however, little Jim, his grandson, was obviously horror-stricken. His hands were clasped nervously, and his eyes were wide with astonishment at this terrible scandal (丑闻), his most magnificent grandfather telling such a thing.
“That was at Chancellorsville. Of course, afterwards I got kind of used to it. A man does. Lots of men, though, seem to feel all right from the start. I did, as soon as ‘I got on to it,’ as they say now; but at first I was pretty well scared. Now, there was young Jim Conklin, old Si Conklin’s son—that used to keep the leather factory—you none of you recall him―well, he went into it from the start just as if he was born to it. But with me it was different. I had to get used to it.”
When little Jim walked with his grandfather, he was in the habit of skipping along on the stone pavement, in front of the three stores and the hotel of the town, and betting that he could avoid the cracks. But upon this day he walked calmly, with his hand gripping two of his grandfather’s fingers. Sometimes he kicked abstractedly at dandelions that curved over the walk. Anyone could see that he was much troubled.
“Um,” said the boy, with a strange lack of interest. He continued his reflections. Then finally he asked: “Grandpa—now—was that true what you were telling those men?”
“What?” asked the grandfather. “What was I telling them?”
“Oh, about your running.”
“Why, yes, that was true enough, Jimmie. It was my first fight, and there was an awful lot of noise, you know.”
Jimmie seemed a bit confused that this idol (偶像), of its own will, should be so weak. His stout boyish idealism was injured and then lapsed into a moody silence.

Running is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.
But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡)—chemicals in the body that cause happiness — are behind the so-called “runner’s high”, a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.
According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.
To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.
Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheel, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.
But after being given a drug to block their endorphins, the mice’s behavior didn’t seem to change. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, their runner’s change.
“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscle high symptoms seemed to fade you feel after taking exercise,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifehacker.
Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.
The UK’s National Health Service even prescribes (开药方) exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.
“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can cheer you up if you have depression, and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的) depression,” it wrote on its website.
It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.
1.What have scientists from German universities recently discovered?
A.The runner’s high can be caused by endocannabinoids.
B.Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.
C.Endorphins may contribute to one’s high spirits after running.
D.The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect a person’s mood.
2.The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiments with the intention of ________.
A.testing what influences the level of endocannabinoids released
B.identifying what the cause of the runner’s high is
C.observing the specific symptoms of the runner’s high

A.effect B.suggestion C.question D.belief

Facebook has taken over a start-up named CTRL-Labs, which is developing devices that can pick up electrical signals from the brain and transmit them to a computer. CTRL-Labs has designed a wristband that can identify the signals the brain sends to the hand telling it to move, and decode (解码) them. It could then transmit that command — for example, to press a button — to a computer or other devices.
It also captures (捕捉) your intention”, said Facebook VR president Andrew Bosworth. “So you can share a photo with a friend using an imperceptible (极细微的) movement or just by, well, intending to,” he said in a post on his personal Facebook page.
Facebook has not confirmed a report by CNBC which claimed that the deal was worth between $500 m and $ l bn (£0.4bn and £0.8bn).). Mr Bosworth said he hoped the CTRL-Labs team would help Facebook to “build this kind of technology, at scale and get it into consumer products faster”.
There was a mixed response to the news.
“Facebook needd to leave us alone. Step away from our lives more.” tweeted tech commentator Azeem Azhar.
“I’m very curious to see what the response is from regulators here,” wrote an analyst Fatemeh Khatibloo.
Underneath Andrew Bosworth’s Facebook post, Josh Chan, founder of an educational app, said the news was exciting.
“As an educator, I’m imagining how this could transform how we all learn,” he said.
Facebook implied it would be some time before the product came to market. “The CTRL-Labs technology is an innovative input that Facebook hopes will be used to significantly improve the upcoming Facebook VR experiences a few years down the road to fundamentally improve the user experience.” it said.
Facebook may have more to say about the new acquisition on Wednesday at its annual VR headset event, which the firm purchased in 2014 for around $2bn.
1.What does the underlined sentence imply?
A.Facebook should not affect people’s lives any more.
B.Facebook should get less involved in people’s lives.
C.Facebook should be less concerned about people’s lives.
D.People’s lives have been totally disturbed by Facebook.
2.What is the author’s attitude towards CTRL-Labs?
A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
3.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The acquisition of a start-up company that has designed a fancy wristband.
B.The design of a high-tech product that can greatly affect people’s lives.
C.The development of a wristband that can capture users’ intentions.
D.The purchase of a start-up company that is developing a mind-reading product.
