For example, someone who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while watching television is sometimes called a couch potato. A couch is a piece of furniture that people sit on while watching television.Robert Armstrong, an artist from California, developed the term “couch potato” in 1976. Several years later, he listed the term as a trademark with the UnitedStates government. Mr Armstrong also helped write a funny book about life as a full­time television watcher. It is called the OfficialCouchPotatoHandbook.Couch potatoes enjoy watching television just as mouse potatoes enjoy working on computers. A computer mouse is the device that moves the pointer, or cursor on a computer screen. The description of mouse potato became popular in 1993. American writer Alice Kahn is said to have invented the term to describe young people who spend a lot of time using computers.Too much time inside the house using a computer or watching television can cause someone to get cabin fever. A cabin is a simple house usually built far away from the city. People go to a cabin to relax and enjoy quiet time.Cabin fever is not really a disease. However, people can experience boredom and restlessness if they spend too much time inside their homes. This is especially true during the winter when it is too cold or snowy to do things outside. Often children get cabin fever if they cannot go outside to play. So do their parents. This happens when there is so much snow that schools and even offices and stores are closed.Some people enjoy spending a lot of time in their homes to make them nice places to live. This is called nesting or cocooning. Birds build nests out of sticks to hold their eggs and baby birds. Some insects build cocoons around themselves for protection while they grow and change. Nests and cocoons provide security for wildlife. So people like the idea of nests and cocoons, too.The terms cocooning and nesting became popular more than twenty years ago. They describe people buying their first homes and filling them with many things. These people then had children.Now these c hildren are grown­up and have left the nest. They are in college. Or they are married and starting families of their own far away.Now these parents are living alone without c hildren in their empty nests. They have become empty nesters.16．Which of the following was first used?A．Couch potato. B．Cocooning.C．Mouse potato. D．Nesting.17．________refers to a person who spends much time on computer.A．A couch potato B．A nesterC．A mouse potato D．An empty nester18．Why can most people easily get cabin fever in winter?A．Because they are addicted to computer games.B．Because they would like to play outside.C．Becaus e it is so cold that they couldn't go outside.D．Because they are too busy at work or school.19．What's the passage mainly about?A．How to get rid of cabin fever.B．How people become neste rs or empty nesters.C．How to spend your leisure time.D．The origin of some words.BGerman researchers said older people tend to be portrayed negatively in society. Although they are often described as wise, they are also shown as being slow and forgetful.“Living in a youth centered culture, they may appreciate a boost in self­esteem.That's why they prefer the negative stories about younger people, who are seen as having a higher status in our society，” said Dr Silvia Knobloch­Westerwick，of Ohio State University.Knobloch­Westerwick and her co­author Matthi as Hastall, of Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen, Germany, studied 276 German adults, including 178 aged 18 to 30 and 98 between 55 and 60. Their findings are published in the journal Communication.All the adults in the study were shown what they were led to believe was a test version of a new online news magazine.They were also given limited time to look over either a negative or a positive version of 10 pre­selected articles.Each story was also pa ired with a photograph depicting(描绘) someone of either the younger or the older age group.The researchers found that older people were more likely to choose to read negative articles about those younger than themselves. They also tended to show less interest in articles about older people, whether negative or positive.But younger people preferred to read positive articles about other young people.According to Knobloch­Westerwick, older people's preference for negative news about their younger counterparts can be explained by their place in society.“Everybody likes a self­esteem boost. For young people, though, it's almost automatic. You th is considered important in society，” she said.After reading the articles, the participants completed a questionnaire designed to measure levels of self­esteem. Unlike their younger counterparts, the self­esteem of older people rose after they read a negative article about younger people.Althou gh the study was done in Germany, Knobloch­Westerwick believes nationality and the national characteristics are not important.20．What do older people think of themselves, according to the text?A．They are behind the times.B．They are always forgetful.C．Their self­esteem is challenged in a youth centered culture.D．They should have a higher status than the young in society.21．What can be learned from the study?A．The old enjoy reading negative stories about the young.B．The old are interested in negative articles about other old people.C．The old are likely to read positive articles about other old people.D．The young like reading negative articles about other young people.22．According to Knobloch­Westerwick, if a similar study were done in other countries, ________．A．the result would be unreasonableB．the result would be quite differentC．the findings would be completely the sameD．much the same result would be foundⅢ.书面表达是一个致力于消除家长和孩子之间沟通障碍的网站。

forcing others to do things.Even if this is possible，it is short­term，and tends to produce unexpected and unwanted results.If you order someone to do something against their will，they may do it because they feel they have to，but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long term.They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down，making the person unable to function at his or her best.If they connect you with this emotion of fear，they will become less functional around you，and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot，but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively.Fear does no good to leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character，and our understanding and use of emotion.We can order someone to do something，which maybe part of the work day；or we can employ them at the emotional level，so they will become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation.Today’s work place is all about relationships.Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker.Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like.Leaders understand the way things work.They know the pay check is not the single most important factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence—knowing your own emotions，and how to handle them，and those of others.Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationship with people around you，which is the key to the leadership skills.1．The writer thinks that it is not________for us to connect leadership with strength and power.A．possible B．necessaryC．easy D．effective2．People may NOT be working hard when________.A．they’re regarded as human beingsB．they like their leadersC．money is taken as the most importantD．leaders understand the way things work3．From the passage，we can conclude that________is the key to making a good leader.A．developing one’s emotional intelligenceB．in fluencing others in one’s own wayC．producing some unexpected resultsD．having confidence in one’s ability4．This passage is most helpful to those who________.A．have strength and powerB．are going to make a speechC．would like to be leadersD．are to be excellent employees课时作业(十五)Ⅰ.单项填空1．A 考查交际用语，由No，thanks可以看出是拒绝别人的好意。

Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is not large. The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.The government has made enough laws to fight pollution. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers' exhibition. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.16．Australia is ________.A．the largest country in the worldB．as large as ShanghaiC．not as large as ChinaD．the largest island in the north of the earth17.

Which of the following is NOT true?A．Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers.B．Perth is bigger than any other city in Western Australia.C．Perth lies in the west of Australia.D．No other city is larger than Perth in Australia.19. In Perth you may visit a wild flowers' show in ________.A．December B．JanuaryC．May D．September20. Which of the following is true?A．Australia is famous for its sheep, kangaroos and wild flowers.B．We ran back to the car because we were in the middle of white sheep.C．Three hundred sheep came towards us because they saw us.D．If you go to the countryside in Australia, you will see a large number of white sheep.BSometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the apple of our parents' eyes, and that our grandmas think we're great talents and our uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self－image and learn to love yourself.Self－image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self－images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self－image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self－image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don't allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self－image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you're silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think you're weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you're dull because you don't wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn't mean it's true.The best way to get rid of a negative self－image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self－image. When you can pat(拍)yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way. Good luck!21．You need to build a positive self－image when you ________.A．dare to challenge yourselfB．feel it easy to change yourselfC．are unconfident about yourselfD．have a high opinion of yourself22．According to the passage, our self－images ________.A．have neutral effectsB．are probably untrueC．are often changeableD．have different functions23．How should you change your self－image according to the passage?A．To keep a different image of others.B．To make your life successful.C．To understand your own world.D．To change the way you think.24．What is the passage mainly about?A．How to prepare for your success.B．How to face challenges in your life.C．How to build a positive self－image.D．How to develop your good qualities.25．Who are the intended readers of the passage?A．Parents.B．Adolescents.C．Educators.D．People in general.课时作业(十五)Ⅰ.1.C考查语境题。
