Ex.1

Whether it is at work or at home, we need just the right amount of challenges to keep us happy. When the
challenges are too tough to


1


, we feel stressed out and when we feel that challenge isn
’
t challenge enough,
we get easily


2


. The secret to keep oneself happily engaged is to find a balance in between these two

3

.


A
state
in
which
we
feel


4


challenged
is
what
we
should
look
for.
Such
a
state
keeps
us
mentally
and
physically engrossed. When we lose ourselves in our activities, we achieve a sense of


5


.
Work
that
keeps
us
well
challenged
helps
us
make
our
lives
more
interesting
and


6
.
A
lot
of
smart
people do not mind continuing working at something they truly enjoy; even if that means they get a pay that is
little less than


7

. This also holds true for leisure activities. It is not


8


that the most expensive forms of
relaxation provide that state of indulgence. Simple activities like gardening and socializing can keep one busy and
entertained.

So find yourself a job that you
’
ll enjoy doing or ask for a position that you think will help you achieve this.
Make a small


9


on your salary if needed because you
’
ll be much better off if you truly enjoy your work.
Take up a hobby that you
’
ll have fun doing. If you
’
ve been tired of spending your free time on a


10


activity
like sitting in front of the TV
, try something else challenging. Break the monotony by tuning your bike, shooting
some
baskets,
visiting
a
library
or
inviting
your
friends
for
tea.
Indulge
yourself
in
anything
that
you
can
lose
yourself into because there
’
s no other better way to be happy.

C) sides











D) handle










E) temporarily
F) happiness







G) expected







H) necessary

Ex.2


Every year, earthquakes are


1


for a large number of deaths and vast amount of destruction in various
parts
of
the
world.
Most
of
these
damaging
earthquakes


2


either
in
a
narrow
belt
which
surrounds
the
Pacific Ocean or in a line which extends from Burma to the Alps in Europe. Some of the


3

is directly caused
by the quake itself. An example of this is the collapse of buildings as a result of vibration. Other damage results
from landslides, tsunamis or major fires which are initiated by the quake.
There are about a million quakes a year.


4

, however, not all of them are destructive. The intensity of an
quake is


5


on the Richter Scale (
里氏震级
), which goes from 0 upward. The highest magnitude recorded to
date is 9. Major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upwards from 6.0.


6


to this are those whose
epicenters (
震中
) are located far from the inhabited areas.
The actual cause of the quake itself is the breaking apart of rocks at or below the earth
’
s surface. This is


7


by
pressure
which
scientists
believe
may
be
due
to
a
number
of
reasons,
two
of
which
are
the
expansion
and
contraction of the earth
’
s crust and continental drift.
In
order
to


8


the
damage
and
lessen
some
of
the
suffering
results
from
earthquakes,
scientists
are
working
on
ways
to
enable
accurate
prediction.
Two
of
the



9


presently
in
use
to
achieve
this
goal
are
seismographs (
地震仪
) and tilt meters
（
地面倾斜测量仪）
. The former records any shaking of the earth: by means
of calculations seismologist can accurately


10


the exact time, location and size of an earthquake. The latter,
as the name suggests, is used to record any changes in the tilt of the land.
A) Earthquakes


B) destruction


C) Fortunately



D) focused





E) instruments
F) indicate






G) avoid







H) produced





I) Exceptions



J) Unfortunately
K) occur








L) account





M) responsible



N) measured



O) minimize
