• 2．Whenever we see a button on a doorbell or on a remote，we may press it.This is true in most cases.But some buttons are actually fake （假的），like the "close" button on an elevator．
     Many people are in the habit of pressing the "close" button because they don't have the patience to wait for the elevator doors to shut.But according to experts，the buttons are a complete trick—the doors will not close any faster however hard you press.
     It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed，making sure that all elevators stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter.Only firefighters and maintenance workers （維修工） can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal elevator riders，the buttons aren't completely useless.
     According to psychologists，fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.Experts have shown that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example，pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster，but that was before computer-controlled traffic signals were introduced.
     Psychologists，however，found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little "white lies"，they still continue to push the fake button because as long as the door eventually closes，it is considered worth the effort.
     That habit is here to stay，John Kounios，a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US，told The New York Times. "After all，I've got nothing else to do while waiting.So why not try the chance？"
  
  （1）The author writes the text to

  .
  A．inform readers of kinds of fake button
  B．a(chǎn)nalyze what roles fake buttons play
  C．explore different ways to push buttons
  D．explain why fake buttons were introduced
  （2）Which is true according to the text？

  
  A．Firemen can make the elevator close faster by using the button.
  B．Maintenance workers have special keys to control elevator doors.
  C．Disabled elevator riders need other's help to get in the elevator.
  D．The "close" button on the door is useless to normal elevator users.
  （3）The underlined "this same purpose" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to

  .
  A．making people more patient
  B．improving people's bad mood
  C．helping people build up confidence
  D．offering people a sense of control
  （4）What can we know from John Kounios' words？

  
  A．Pressing fake buttons is of no meaning at all.
  B．People don't know that what they press is fake.
  C．Some people press fake buttons just to kill time.
  D．People are supposed to quit pressing fake buttons.

• 3．Every summer artists perform at Fringe （邊緣） Festivals around the world.Fringe Festivals are a celebration of strange art.They have all kinds of performers—from dancers，musicians and actors to everything in between.The shows give artists a chance to create unusual art.For festival goers，each show is a time to experience something different.
     The first Fringe Festival was held in Edinburgh，Scotland in 1947.That was also the year of the first Edinburgh International Festival.Artists from around the world traveled to Scotland for the Edinburgh International Festival.They performed at arts centers throughout the city.Eight local theater companies did not receive an invitation，however.In response，they performed at smaller spaces around Edinburgh.These artists performed wherever they could，including churches and even on the street.They started their own cultural event and named it the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
     What started as an alternative to the mainstream has now become the world's largest arts festival.Today，there are hundreds of Fringe Festivals taking place around the world.The one in Washington，D.C.，called the Capital Fringe Festival，is in its tenth year.It was held in the month of July.
     Julianne Brienza founded the Capital Fringe Festival.She went to a school for the performing arts，but now sees herself mainly as an organizer of the festival.Brienza believes that fringe performance art is special and can have a powerful effect.
     The Capital Fringe Festival takes place in different locations throughout the D.C.area.Some performances happen in traditional theaters.Others happen in unusual settings like old，empty buildings or stores after business hours are over.
     Brienza says the purpose of Fringe festivals is to explore the limits of art in unique environments.Since 2006，the event has made more than ﹩1.7 million.It is the second largest Fringe Festival in the U.S.jye.ai its popularity has grown every year.The Edinburgh Festival Fringe continues throughout the month of August.

• 4．Counterfeit（假的） medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries．Like other counterfeits，they look like real products．But counterfeit drugs may contain too little or none of the active ingredients of the real thing．
     People do not get the medicine they need．And in some cases，counterfeits cause death．Twenty children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen（對乙酰氨基酚）．The medications contained ingredients that looked，smelled and tasted like the real thing．The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money．
     The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa，Asia and Latin America．The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeit．The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries．The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States，Canada，Japan and New Zealand．
     But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit．
     Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs．Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify．And there are existing methods，like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real．Other ideas include things like special tracking codes for drug packages．People could send a text message with the code and get a message back，which proves that what they bought is listed in a database．Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms（全息圖）on their products as a security device．
  
  （1）Last year twenty children in Bangladesh died because of

  ．
  A．unreal drugs

• 5．Master Your Deadlines The struggle begins in high school，sometimes earlier.Deadlines，and lots of them，start to pile up.At college，the pressure sometimes leads to last-minute rush and unsatisfactory work.At work，failing to meet deadlines can easily get you fired. （1）

  .Here are a few best practices.
     ●Assign deadlines to what matters.
     （2）

  .In this way，you are able to keep it on your radar for a while without feeling pressured.But if an activity is urgent，set a deadline immediately.This will provide just enough pressure to ensure you get it done.
     ●（3）

  .
     Set a personal deadline for yourself a day or two before the actual deadline. （4）

  .If you're working with a group of people，add in even more time to account for potential follow-ups and the need for approvals.
     ●Keep communicating.
     （5）

  .This means letting others know when something is taking longer than expected，when a delivery didn't come in，when a client is not providing the necessary information，etc.Although it may feel embarrassing to admit that something is not on schedule，being honest is much better for relieving your stress.
  
  A．Plan for flexible hours.
  B．Finish your project as early as possible.
  C．If the task isn't of high importance，don't set a specific deadline.
  D．In this way，you'll never have to stay up late and feel stressed.
  E．But handled properly，deadlines can actually improve productivity.
  F．Whenever you feel challenged to finish work on time，communicate.
  G．So if anything takes longer than expected，you can still wrap it up and submit it on time.
