“YOUR password has expired (过期),” a message said on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code (密码) doesn’t seem like a big deal, unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase (大写的) character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one number. Oh, the whole password can’t be fewer than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months.
Suddenly I was furious (很生气的). What didn’t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief about what she had done to me was all I thought about every day.
I remembered a tip I’d heard from my former boss. He’d said: “I’m going to use a password to change my life.”
I couldn’t focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear signs of what I needed to do to get control of my life again.
My password became the sign. My password reminded me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.
I made my password Forgive@h3r.
I had to type this several times a day. The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened and find a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to happen. By the time my server asked me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.
One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done.
My password became Quit@smoking4ever.
I quit smoking overnight.
This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal.
One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand.
Guess where I went three months later: Thailand.
Seeing how these reminders helped to achieve my goals kept me motivated and excited. While it’s sometimes difficult to come up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results.
25. Which of the following passwords fits the company’s requirements?
A. Seeme@2 B. Dream4future C. Stay@4ever D. Visit$me
26. Why couldn’t the author focus on doing things?
A. Because he couldn’t come up with a new password.
B. Because he was in low spirits due to his divorce..
C. Because he always forgot his password
D. Because his wife stole his password before their breakup.
27. What happened to the author after he had used his password to change his life?
A. He quit his job and went traveling around the world.
B. He started smoking to heal his broken heart.
C. He finally overcame his depression and forgave his ex-wife.
D. He became furious about his passwords getting longer and longer.

C
Bottled water is a drain on the environment: The US public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled, according to Elizabeth Royte’s book Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It.
Transporting the bottles and keeping them cold also burns fossil fuels, which give off greenhouse gases. And groundwater pumping by bottled water companies draws heavily on underground aquifers(含水层) and harms watersheds(分水岭), according to the Sierra Club. And some studies suggest it takes up to three liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water.
Yet more than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water globally. In many cities in developing countries where there is not a safe source of tap water, bottled water becomes a trusted choice.
In the US, tap water is controlled by the government and often examined for dangerous polluted substances. Each American drinks 79 liters of bottled water per year on average, according to the Columbia Water Center at Columbia University’s Earth Institute in New York. The bottled water industry is so successful that it has outpaced(超过) milk, coffee, and juice in the number of gallons of drinks sold — putting it behind only beer and soda.
Though the sale and consumption of bottled water is still on the rise, certain policymakers have taken steps to reduce it and encourage people to drink tap water. In September 2009, the Australian town of Bundanoon became the first town in the world to completely ban bottled water from its stores’ shelves, building water fountains around the town instead.
Among US cities that have taken action are San Francisco and Seattle, which no longer buy water for city use, and Chicago, which added a five-cent tax on each bottle. Several restaurants in those cities have also given up bottled water for tap water. Other cities are also considering taking action.
28. What does the underlined word "drain" in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Value B. Consumption (消费) C. Solution D. Relief (缓解)
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Why bottled water is so popular.
B. What Elizabeth Royte’s book is about.
C. How much it takes to produce bottled water.
D. What effects bottled water has on the environment.
30. According to the passage, what drink sells best in the USA?
A. Beer B. Bottled water C. Coffee D. Milk
31. Which of the following statements about the US is TRUE?
A. More than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water in the US.
B. About 79 billion water bottles a year are gone through by the US public.
C. In Chicago, you have to pay 5 cents as tax if you buy a bottle of water.
D. An American drinks 50 liters of bottled water every year on average.

You woke up this morning and told yourself you would finish that term paper by 11 am. So , as often happens, by the time 10 am rolled around, you’d checked your Weibo, updated your Wechat moments, and in the meantime, chewed a few of your favorite snacks. Once you finally got around to switching on your computer to get to work, you remembered you needed to download the latest series of your favorite TV show. One click led to another and by the time your self-set 11 am deadline arrived, your paper was still a blank page.
If this sounds like you, you’re probably a procrastinator. Don’t worry—you’re not alone. According to recent research, we are now entering the “golden age of procrastination”. This conclusion was handed down by Piers Steel, a professor at Canada’s University who spent 10 years studying this field.
Procrastination is more than merely delaying a task. It’s doing so despite（尽管）expecting to be worse off. “One in four people would describe themselves as a procrastinator, while over half the population would describe themselves as frequent,” Steel says in his book. In the last 40 years there’s been about a 300-400 percent growth in procrastination,” Steel explains.
Procrastination is not a modern problem. The most famous procrastinator is the fictional（小说的）Prince of Denmark. Shakespeare would never have filled the next four acts if Hamlet had killed his evil uncle in the first scene. Of course, Hamlet can be excused for his hesitation more than the rest of us. After all, he was committing a bloody murder rather than finishing a term paper.
But on the other hand, things are really harder for the modern procrastinator. Steel says we are living in an environment that is designed to be “motivationally poisonous”. Gadgets（小玩意）and screens are the real thieves of time.” We ‘re living at a time when there’re mobile phones, emails and various game rooms, and they are keeping us away from our goals.” But there are some ways which can make you get rid of procrastination.
32. Which can explain the meaning of the underlined word in the 2nd paragraph?
A. A person who dislikes doing term papers.
B. A person who can manage the things properly.
C. A person who fails to finish given tasks on time.
D. A person who lives in a casual（随便的）lifestyle.
33. Why did the author mention the example of Hamlet?
A. To emphasize the long existence of procrastination.
B. To present the seriousness of procrastination.
C. To explain the positive effects of procrastination.
D. To prove procrastination is a hard-to-get-rid-of habit.
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Procrastination merely refers to putting off a task.
B. Procrastination is getting worse
