　　Here is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone can't make us tire. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago，scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲勞). To the amazement of these scientists，they discovered that blood passing through the brain，when it is active，shows no fatigue at all!

　　If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins at and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.

　　So far as the brain is concerned，it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired? Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes.One of England’s most outstanding scientists，J.A.Hadfield，says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact，fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.”Dr.Brill，a famous American scientist,

　　goes even further，He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”

　　What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored，anger, anxiety，tenseness，worry，a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.

　　25. What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

　　A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood.

　　B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work.

　　C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.

　　D. A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.

　　26. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?

　　A. Challenging mental work

　　B. Unpleasant emotions

　　C. Endless tasks

　　D. Physical labor.

　　27. What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' idea?

　　A. He agrees with them.

　　B. He doubts them.

　　C. He argues against them.

　　D. He hesitates to accept them.

　　C

　　BEIJING — Rising smartphone star Xiaomi is moving upmarket and taking aim at Apple's iPhone. The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (發布) a new model that Chairman J un Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. The phone starts at 2, 299 yuan ($375), less than half the 5,288 yuan ($ 865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.

　　Xiaomi, founded in 2010, passed South Korea's SaM:ung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold. The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.

　　Xiaomi "is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following" in China, said analyst Brian Blair, who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities. Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow.

　　"Apple is very much a premium (高端的) brand," said Blair. "The company that's more at risk is SaM:ung, which has been losing share in that market."

　　Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61. 1 million phones and revenue (收益) more than doubled to 74. 3 billion yuan ($12.2 billion). The company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands.

　　Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents.

　　In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a "rite of passage" (成年禮) for a young company.

　　28. Which of the following statements is true?

　　A. Xiaomi sold more cellphones than SaM:ung in 2010 in China.

　　B. Compared to Xiaomi, Apple's iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter.

　　C. Low-price is Xiaomi's advantage over Apple's iPhones.

　　D. The company is expanding into the United States or Europe.

　　29. What can be inferred from the passage according to Brian Blair?

　　A. More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year.

　　B. Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China.

　　C. He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple.

　　D. SaM:ung will be closed for losing share in the market.

　　30. How is the 5th paragraph developed?

　　A. By giving examples.

　　B. By analyzing cause and effect.

　　C. By providing data.

　　D. By making comparisons.

　　31. What's the attitude of Jun Lei towards the case of Xiaomi in India?

　　A. Negative.

　　B. Satisfied.

　　C. Positive.

　　D. Doubtful.

　　With the development of the Internet, it has resulted in a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal web site.

　　Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care.

　　On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card number — or sell the information over the Internet. Computers hackers have broken down security systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago, 25, 000 customers of CD Universe , an on-line music retailer(零售商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157, 828 to get back the information.

　　Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. MasterCard is working on plans for Web — only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.
