| Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping 1 he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in 2 . He knows what he wants, and his goal is to find it and 3 it. All men 4 walk into a shop and ask the shop assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock (库存), the deal can be done and 5 is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat to everyone's 6 . For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn't have what he wants. In that 7 , the salesman tries to sell something else-he 8 the nearest to the article required. A good salesman brings out such a substitute (替代品) 9 , and he may say, "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It 10 to be the colour you mentioned." Few men have 11 with this treatment, and the usual response is "This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I shouldn't be 12 my time and yours by trying it on." For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the 13 way. Her shopping is not often 14 on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always 15 to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Deep in her mind is the thought of finding something that 16 thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected 17 . Faced with a roomful dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another 18 selecting the dress she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n) 19 one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting 20 . | ||||

| I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss. Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in more than half the subjects. I didn't care, at least not till my dad found out about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me. Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me, "Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on". It hit me like a roundhouse kick (回旋踢) from Bruce Lee. I was jolted (震摇) out of my bones! I couldn't comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit. When I went back to college, I knew that if I don't change the way I live my life I won't be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, drastic changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books. One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude (优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I'm about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it! |

| Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks-we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around-family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country area where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do. |
| 1. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. has little to do with culture B. is ever changing C. is different from place to place D. has much to do with culture |
| 2. According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. as soon as one's teeth are newly set B. sometime after new teeth are set C. around 15 years old D. before birth |
| 3. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. what he or she likes best B. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows C. how much he or she smiles D. the way he or she talks |

| An allergy (过敏反应) is a strong reaction to a substance. Many things can cause allergies. The most common cause is pollen (花粉), which is usually produced by trees in the spring, grasses in the summer and weeds in the fall, as part of their reproductive process. Other causes include organisms, chemicals, plants and dead skin particles (微粒) from dogs and cats can also cause allergic reactions. So can insect stings and some food. The most common kind of allergic reactions is itchy (痒的), watery eyes and a blocked or watery nose. Allergies can also cause red, itchy skin. Some reactions can be life- threatening, for example, when breathing passages become blocked. It is not always easy to avoid allergies. Drugs may offer an effective treatment. Another treatment used in some cases is called immunotherapy (免疫疗法). A patient is injected with small amounts of the allergy-causing substance. The idea is that larger and larger amounts are given over time until the patient develops a resistance in his body. In the United States, experts estimate that up to 8% of young children have food allergies. Every year these allergies cause about 30,000 cases with severe reactions that require immediate treatment. It can result in breathing trouble and in some cases death. It is said that about 100 to 200 people will die. It says most of the reactions are caused by peanuts and tree nuts like walnuts. People can also be allergic to medicines. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says about 10% of bad reactions to commonly used medicines are allergic. In other words, a person's immune system overreacts and produces an allergic reaction. The most common reactions include skin rashes (皮疹), itching, breathing problems and swelling in areas such as the face. |

|
[ ] |
| A. It is nothing serious. B. One's life is at risk. C. One has to be sent to hospital. D. One is sure to breathe easily. |
| 3. According to immunotherapy, the patient is supposed to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. take some medicines to produce antibodies B. have immediate operations C. be given the allergy-causing substance until he develops a resistance D. be exposed to enough allergy-causing substances |

| Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arctic. Inuit (因纽特人) families going off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut off from home by a sea of mud. There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather abstract (抽象的) idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already having great effect- if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon become almost ice-free in summer. The knock-on effects (连锁反应) are likely to include more warming, cloudier skies and higher sea levels. Scientists are increasingly eager to find out what's going on in the Arctic. For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the toughest environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outsider experts tell them what's happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy (自治权) in the country's newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral (祖先的) knowledge with the best of modern science. This is a challenge in itself. The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that's covered with snow for most of the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea first. The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful; sometimes they failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska, bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of today's Inuit people. |
| 1. Which of the following is likely to be the effect of climate change? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Shorter and shorter summertime. B. Ice-free summer around the Arctic. C. Lower sea levels. D. More rainy skies. |
| 2. The Inuit people believe the solution to the climate change problem is _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. to change their way of life B. to do as their ancestors C. to try to protect the environment from now on D. to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science |
| 3. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the first settlers in the Arctic survived there quite easily B. it's hard to farm in the Arctic due to climate change C. the ancestors of Inuit people stood out among the settlers D. the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools |
| 4. Which of the following is the best title for this text? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Climate Change and the Inuit B. Climate Change around the Arctic C. Global Warming around the World D. The Inuit and Their Ancestors around the World |

| Millions of people all over the world use the word OK. In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world. OK means all right or acceptable. It expresses agreement or approval. 1______ Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw (乔克托语). The Choctaw word "okeh" means the same as the American word okay. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century. But many people doubt this. Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word "OK" in reports published in the 1960s. He said the word began being used in the 1830s. 2______ Some foreign-born people wrote "all correct" as "o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t", and used the letters OK. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They said he put the first letters of his name-O and K-on each object people gave him to send on the train. 3______ The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840.They called their group the OK club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born-Old Kinderhook, New York. Then there is the expression A-OK. It is a space-age expression. It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. He was the first American to be launched into space. His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported, "Everything is A-OK." 4______ One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received. There are also funny ways to say okay. 5______ These expressions were first used in the 1930s. Today, a character on the American television series "The Simpsons" says it another way. He says okely-doke. |
| A. Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke. B. Still others say a political organization invented the word. C. Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on. D. But many experts don't agree on what the expression means. E. Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from. F. It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word "all correct". G. However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age. |

| There's an old man in our village calling Old Joe who said to be 110 years old. This can't be proved though he doesn't have a birth certificate. All his personal papers were destroy during the World War Ⅱ. I don't know if he really is so old, and it doesn't matter. He certainly looks very old. Of course, he is often asked question by people who want to be told the secret of long life. Old Joe always answered them like this, "If you are offered a cigarette, never accept it; if you are annoyed by someone, never lose his temper; and if you are asked foolishly questions, never answer them." _______________________________________________________________________ |
