     Did you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you drop it in a swimming pool by accident?
Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what"s wrong with your TV remote control? The experts
at Geek Squad (geelsquad.co.uk) have made a gadget (小机件) rescue guide. So, let"s take a look at some
of their useful advice. 
     ● How to get more juice out of your phone battery (电池)
     If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That
may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warm
it under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone-but use it quickly. 
     ● What to do if your gadget gets wet
     First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner isn"t at hand, fill a pot or bowl with
uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after
a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget: Don"t forget to remove the battery and SIM card before
you dry it. 
     ● What to do if your TV remote control stops working
     If replacing the batteries doesn"t work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote
at the lens (镜头). When you press a button on the remote, if it is working, the glass bobble (小球) at the
front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen
on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (红外线), even though your eyes don"t. If the glass bobble
doesn"t light up, the remote is broken. If it does, the receiving device is broken. 1. If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can _____. [     ]
A. warm it up under your arm
B. put it into the uncooked rice
C. press it with both of your hands
D. remove the battery after you dry it 2. Why can a phone be used to prove the TV remote control works well?[     ]
A. Because it can receive infrared ray.
B. Because it can reflect infrared ray.
C. Because it can improve the TV remote control.
D. Because it can picture the TV remote control. 3. In which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this text? [     ]
A. Entertainment.
B. Finance.
C. Culture.
D. Life. 4. The purpose of the passage is to give people _____. [     ]
A. professional guides
B. necessary warnings
C. practical tips
D. personal opinions

     1_____. Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N.Y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time
laughing. Then she married a circus clown (小丑). "I became interested in the clowns," she recalls "One
day, I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I leamed to laugh and
enjoy life in a way I had never done before." 2_____ To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people
who enjoy life and laughing. 
     3_____ It doesn"t take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also,
keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life. "Good ideas come and go fast, you have
to capture them quickly or they are gone," says Virginia Tooper.
     Laugh when you need it most "4_____" says comedian Bill Cosby. "And once you find laughter, no
matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it," he insists.
     Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can
all gain-because it comes naturally. 5_____ Just remember: we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs. A. You can soften the worst blows through humor.

C. Practise the art of laughing.

and physical movements will directly influence your success. Staying focused on the task at hand can be
easier said than done. Here are some powerful techniques that can help you improve your ability to focus.
     For physical control, it helps to have a constant exercise schedule. 2_____ Exercising helps you gain

confidence, which helps you feel more relaxed.

     Games originally are entertainment. Contemporary games are very realistic and for this reason they are
a source of great experience for the player and develop the imagination. Games are entertainment and even
more than that. The statistics (统计) of the New York University led by Green claim that the player
preferring active games get improvement of some types of brain activity. In particular, game players deal
with problems of simultaneously (同时地) tracking several moving objects at the average level of 30%
better than people who do not play active computer video games. The "gaming" violent experience may not
be the cause of violent behavior in reality. None of the playing experience will become the priority in making
important decisions concerning problems in real life. A game is an abstraction (虚拟物). A player gets
abstract tasks and acts according to abstract rules.
     Games are also the possibility to be however a person wants to be and to rest from the outside world for
some time. But what if a person gets so much excited with the game scenes that he becomes violent in reality?
Then, it proves that the games cause people to become violent in reality. But a psychologically healthy person
will never confuse these two different worlds. A game is a virtual world with visual images very similar to
human. These images represent by themselves nothing but playing obstacles (障碍). A game may potentially
give the opportunity to "destroy the obstacles" that may not be destroyed according to the rules but it is more
about personal choice whether to do it or not. This leads us to the conclusion that violence is not a
consequence but the cause. People who are originally trended to violence may get into a temper by games and
perform violence in the "real world". But in this case violence in games is a simple justification (理由) of the
violent nature of the player.

[     ]
A. "Violent games" can lead to the performance of violence in the real world
B. Violence is not a consequence of the "computer games" but the cause
C. Games are just entertainment and nothing more.
D. The virtual world and the real world are just the same.
