Mark is leaving, and I’m feeling kind of sad.
You probably don’t know Mark, but you might be lucky enough  36  someone just like him. He’s been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining  37  professional skills with a sweet and gentle nature.
And now he’s moving on to an exciting new professional  38  . It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime, and we’re  39  for him. But that doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to him.
Life has a way of throwing these curve(曲线)balls  40  us. Just when we start to get comfortable with a person, a place or a situation, something comes along to   41  the recipe.
Our ability to cope with change  42  to a great degree, our peace, happiness and contentment in life.
But how do we do that? A friend of mine is fond of reminding us that“survivability depends upon  43  .”And then there’s Chris the California surf-rat, who once told me that the answer to life’s problems can be  44  in four words:“Go with the flow.”
I’m not exactly sure , but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of   45  —both good and bad . No matter how excellent your skill , there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no  46  . The truly successful person expects the unexpected, and is prepared to    47  adjustments should the need arise-as it almost  48  does.
That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your  49  come true．It just means that when things come up that aren't  50  in your plan，you work around them—and then you move on。
“Change，indeed，is painful，  51  ever needful，”said philosopher Thomas Carlyle．“And if memory has its force and worth，so also has  52  .”
we're going to miss Mark. But rather than stay on the  53  of our parting，we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future－for him，and for us．And then we'll go out and   54  
everything we can to make that future happen．  55  our plans change--again.

The personal computer has overtaken the family dog as man's best friend．according to a study．
Researchers found that just 6 per cent of us believe that“ most people rely more on their dog than they do on their PC”，while 67 per cent think the opposite to be true．
Even 38 per cent of dog owners admitted to relying more on their PC than on their dog, although 36 per cent disagreed.
And 71 per cent of 18 to 24-year-old dog owners said they relied more on their computer．
Paul Allen，editor of Computeractive magazine said：“These days you can even you’re your PC for fl walk，provided you have a laptop or tablet.”
“It's only a matter of time until the first PC that fetches your slippers．”
Researchers questioned 2，000 British adults to find out the change modern technology has brought to their home life．
They found that male dog owners are almost twice as likely as female owners to rely on their computer than a canine companion.
Mr．Allen said：“With broadband bringing them global news and newspaper sales falling，the family dog even misses out on the pleasure of taking the paper to his owner．”
But it's not all bad news for obedient dogs．
“The family PC has given dog owners access to a wealth of resources and information that can help with the long-term care that a dog needs，”Mr．Allen said．
Who are most likely to rely on computers?

What is the general idea of the passage?

The advantage of dogs as pets over the personal computer now is that

The underlined word“canine”in Paragraph 8 probably means

WASHINGTON——Chinese Vice-President Xi Jinping arrived at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington，February 13，2012．Vice-President Xi Jinping said he would explore important problems in an active and practical manner with his America hosts on Monday during his five-day official trip here after arriving at Andrews Air Force Base in the afternoon．
In a written statement given upon his arrival，Xi said as the international situation experiences complex and complete changes，China and the United States have more extensive common interests and shoulder more important common responsibilities on the present world stage.
The purpose of the current visit is to “carry out the important consensus reached by President Hu with President Obama during his visit to the United States in January last year and to advance the building of the China—US cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit”，said Xi.
According to Xi，bilateral(双边的)relations have moved forward in spite of some twists and turns during the past several decades．
“This has brought enormous benefits to our two countries and two peoples，and has had a positive, far-reaching impact on peace，stability and the prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large”．
Xi said that“whether we can seize opportunities，tackle challenges and build a cooperative partnership at the new historical starting point matters to the future of our two countries and the world as a whole．”
Xi said he looks forward to engaging in extensive dialogue and exchanges with Americans from various sectors to enhance cooperation and strengthen friendship．
Xi is scheduled to meet US senior government officials，including Henry Kissinger，Brent Scowcroft，Zbigniew Brzezinski，Madeleine Albright and Henry Paulson this evening to listen to their advice on China-US ties．
Meetings between Xi and US Vice-President Biden and President Obama are scheduled on Tuesday.

Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more active and independent than their peers over time，according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people．
Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals that may help ward off the cell damage that can lead to disease．Researchers have been studying green tea's effect on everything from cholesterol(胆固醇)to the risk of certain cancers，with mixed results so far．
For the new Japanese study，researchers decided to examine the question of whether green tea drinkers have a lower risk of frailty and disability as they grow older．
Tomata and his colleagues followed nearly 14，000 adults aged 65 or older for three years．
They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional disability”，or problems with daily activities or basic needs，such as dressing or bathing．
Specifically，almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled，compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups fl day．
The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people active as they grew older．
Green-tea lovers generally had healthier diets，including more fish，vegetables and fruit，as well as more education．lower smoking rates，fewer heart attacks and strokes，and greater mental sharpness．
They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on．
Although it's not clear how green tea might offer a buffer(缓冲剂)against disability，Tomata's team did note that one recent study found green tea extracts(提炼物)seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women．
While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts，they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin K，which means it could block drugs that prevent blood thickened．
Which of the following can summarize the passage best?

The underlined word“ward off”in Paragraph 2 probably means     .

Tomata and his colleagues wanted to     .

Which of the following is NOT the advantage of green tea?

It can be inferred from the last paragraph     .

American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system．When AIDS virus enters the blood，it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes(淋巴细胞)．The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes．Then it forces its way inside．There it directs the cells' genetic material to produce copies of the AIDS virus．This is how AIDS spreads．
Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from connecting to T4 ceils．When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell，it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein．
Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood．This way the AIDS virus will connect to cloned protein instead of the real ones．Scientists use genetic engineering methods to make the clones．Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times；the AIDS virus must go to it．
In a new technique，however，the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell．It floats freely，so a lot more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 protein on T4 cells．One report says the．AIDS virus connects to cloned protein just as effectively as it connects to real protein．That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs．The technique is just now beginning to be tested in animals．If successful，it may be tested in humans within a year．
The new technique can     .

When the AIDS virus enters the blood，it is reproduced by     .

Each and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse        nts should the need arise-as it almostpected, and is prepared to   tion, something comes along to gases we give out in our daily actions and choices．Therefore，combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet．
The average household carbon footprint in China is 2.41 tons of carbon dioxide annually．That's enough to fill half an Olympic swimming pool．
Surprised? Well,．here's how you can work to reduce it：
1．Take showers rather than baths and reduce your shower time by two minutes．This will save water and give you an extra two minutes in bed．
2．Don't purchase unnecessary clothes，and be careful about the materials you buy．Wool and cotton have a really high greenhouse gas impact．Manmade fibers are a better choice．
3．Try to buy high-quality，long-lasting products even though they    ．A laptop is more efficient than a desktop，and a small screen TV is better than a big flat-screen．
4．Only turn the water heater on when necessary，and adjust temperature controls to avoid overheating．Put a lid on a pan when boiling water．
5．When using the washing machine，be sure there's a full load and turn the temperature down if it's not really dirty．
6．The greediest home device along with the washing machine is the fridge．Make sure it's as efficient as possible by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from the oven or heater．Don't put food in when it's still warm．
7．Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers，get creative．For instance，make them into a soup．Ask to take food home from restaurants if there's some left，but remember to take your own container to avoid using a disposable carton．
