[1] Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is
difficult to find the best method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
[2] The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. In Italy, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower.
[3] On the other hand，________staying at home to study. You don’t have to make big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in Italy, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.
[4] So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only viable (可行的) option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.

Giving up smoking will most likely add seven years to one’s life. While many people try to give up and fail, it is not an impossible task.Follow these five tips, and you will be well on your way to giving up smoking.
1.
Success in all fields of life begins with firm determination. If you are weak in willpower, you can never do anything. However, if you make up your mind, once and for all, that you are giving up the habit, whenever you want a smoke, you will remember your promise and not give in.
2.
If you sit around doing nothing there is a higher chance that you will light up a cigarette and relax. Fill your spare time with sports and energetic activities. Try to feel how good it is to get your blood circulating and to breathe in air deeply.If you are not the athletic type, then walking will have the same benefit as other kinds of sports.
3.
If going to a bar means that you are going to have a drink and then light up, maybe it is better to avoid that place for the time being.Once you have truly stopped smoking and you feel how good it is, you can go anywhere and not be tempted (引
诱)．But while you are in the transition phase (过渡阶段), it is better to carefully choose where you can amuse yourself.
4.
Whenever you get a desire to put a cigarette in your mouth, replace it with something that will help you rather than harm you.Drinking small amounts of water throughout the day is not only a good way to help you give up smoking, but it is also a great way to stay healthy.You should drink eight glasses of water per day, if you can.If you need to put something solid in your mouth, then eat a piece of fruit.
5.
Tell them that you are giving up smoking for health reasons.Your true friends will support you and not offer you cigarettes.Your family and loved ones will similarly support your efforts and help you to avoid situations where you may feel you have to smoke because of social pressure.

People can be addicted to (沉溺于) different things, e．g. alcohol, drug, certain food, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive (强迫的): they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit (以赊欠方式), are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology (心理学) of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets (预算), but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: good reason for things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending
habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.
Ps ychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy (疗法)〞 to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.

Palm­sized PCs of the future
When you look at a computer from 15 years ago compared with the Apple Macs, laptops (笔记本电脑) and PCs of today, it’s amazing to think how much technology has developed. Forget the huge machines that once filled whole rooms. Computers of the future are putting nearly everything you could ever need or want right into the
palm of your hand.
The PCs of the future won’t look like today’s laptops.“It would be like a phone or a ring or a watch，〞 says Dan Siewiorek, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the US, according to an article of Computerworld .
There will be many different styles of computers to fit different users, said Siewiorek. For example, a technical worker might have his PC in his eyeglasses. He would be able to see his programs in the glasses and share what he saw with his colleagues through a camera in the glasses.
Siewiorek also says that future PCs will be smarter and able to change what is displayed on screen. For example, if you were looking at confidential information when someone walked into your office, your PC would sense that person’s presence and blank out the information.
In the future, you won’t need to use a keyboard, mouse, or touch screen any more. You’ll simply need to wave your head or even just use your brain waves to move files. You will no longer need to store everything on a hard drive or transfer (转移) data to a USB stick, says Randy Adams, founder and CEO of Searchme Incorporation, a search engine company in California, US.
“Mobile devices (装置) will be almost disposable(可淘汰的), because information will be up in the’cloud’，〞 he said.
Everything will become wireless (无线的)．Future PCs will be able to get power in new ways. Power could, for example, be transferred wirelessly from a building’s power supply or drawn from light, heat or movement in the surrounding environment.
Computers in the future will be a lot more advanced and many of the developments have already begun. “Anything you would see in 10 years is available (可获得的)now，〞said Fred Killeen, chief technology officer at General Motors Corporation.
He explained that most technological developments exist somewhere in some form years before they become mainstream (主流)．
1．What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．Computers used to look really silly 15 years ago.
B．Computers were once as large as rooms.
C．Computers which are the size of your palm can provide everything you need nowadays.
D．As new technology gets better, we forget about old technology.
解析：选B。

从“Forget the huge machines that once filled whole rooms.〞可知B正确。

2．What will future computers be like?
a．They will come in different shapes and sizes.
b．They will have different functions.
c．They will power themselves.

解析：选A。

c特征错在电脑能通过无线装置充电，而非自己供电。
