| My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, "Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can't help falling in love with him!" or "What perfect skills he has!" Yeah, I 1 to some degree, though I sometimes do want to 2 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his 3 and how much they know about football apart from 4 goals. It seems funny that we are 5 for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 6 , but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life's 7 . We need these pleasures to 8 our lives. But that doesn't 9 to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover." We 10 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one's good 11 and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we'd better say 12 about Beckham's good looks. If we close our eyes, falling in deep 13 , we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 14 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 15 things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 16 has blinded and misled us, and we'll remain ignorant (无知的) 17 we realize that and make some changes. It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is 18 of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 19 us, we will finally prove how much we have 20 up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have become. | ||||

| Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia are mobile and very open, people here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time. So it's normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal. On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society. To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society put it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don't want to answer. Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with. Some societies have "universalist" cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. "Particularist" societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person. This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the check-in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The check-in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn't be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers don't have his problem. |
| 1. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians ____. |
| A. like traveling better B. easy to communicate with C. difficult to make real friends D. have a long-term relationship with their neighbors |
| 2. A person from a less mobile society will feel it _____ when a stranger keeps talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions. |
| A. boring B. friendly C. normal D. rough |
| 3. In "particularist societies", ______. |
| A. they have no rules for people to obey B. people obey the society's rules completely C. no one obeys the society's rules though they have D. the society's rules can be changed with different persons or situations |
| 4. The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of different ______. |
| A. interests B. cultures C. habits and customs D. ways of life |

| Advice to "sleep on it" could be well founded, scientists say. After a good night's sleep a problem that couldn't be solved the night before can often appear more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal (个人体验的).But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night's sleep can improve insight (顿悟) and problem-solving. "If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories' restructures them, so that after sleep the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases," said Dr Jan Born, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), at the university. To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn a string of numbers into a new order. There was also a third, hidden rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem. The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups: half were allowed to sleep after the training while the rest were forced to stay awake. Dr Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group."Sleep helped," Born said in a telephone interview. "The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem." But Born admitted that he and his team don't know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs it. Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking. Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added. |
| 1. The underlined phrase"sleep on it" in Paragraph 1 probably means _____. |
| A. to delay deciding something until the next day B. to get as much sleep as possible C. to go on sleeping without being disturbed D. to sleep till after the time you usually get up in the morning |
| 2. Jan Born and his team carried out the experiment through _____. |
| A. comparison B. interview C. survey D. imagination |
| 3. It can be inferred from the passage that ______. |
| A. people should sleep so long as they have time B. sleep is the only way to solve hard problems C. people have various periods of sleep D. people know how sleep reconstructs memories |
| 4. What would be the best title for the passage? |
| A. How Sleep Works B. Sleep Helps Solve Problems C. No Evidence, But Well Founded D. Born's Discovery On Sleep |

| Winter's short days are more than cold. For many people, winter depression, the most common type of Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD), is as much a part of the reason as hats and scarves (围巾). Winter serious SAD sufferers may need medical treatment. Those feeling a little blue can help themselves by sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips: Pace yourself. Don't expect to do everything you normally can. Set a realistic schedule. Don't listen to negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail. Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like you've achieved something. For example, play table tennis or badminton.

Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship. Think clearly about what's wrong or right. Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at your problems objectively. Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on. Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression. Eat well. Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain(keep) a healthy body and mind. The vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients found in a balanced diet may help our bodies to produce feel-good hormones (荷尔蒙).Foods containing chemicals to help produce feel-good hormones include bananas, turkey, nuts and seeds. Eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day. P.S.Symptoms (症状) of SAD: No interests or pleasure in things you used to enjoy Increased need for sleep A change in eating habits, especially an appetite for sweet or starchy (含淀粉的) foods Weight gain A heavy feeling in the arms or legs A drop in energy level Difficulty in concentrating Overly emotional Avoidance of friends and social situations Frequent feelings of guilt Long-term feelings of hopelessness, and physical problems, such as headaches |

| Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it la nded upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot (行李箱). Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr.Johnson said. "I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in." Mr.Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot.Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot.I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came." It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot.Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock.Fifteen minutes passed by. "It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up." His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr.Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer's wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed like hours." Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night.The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch. |

| 2. Mr.Johnson's car accident happened ________. |
| A. with his car standing on its boot B. while on his way home C. partly due to the slippery road. D. because of the high speed |

| If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you say to your children "I am sorry I got angry with you, but .."what follows that's but" can make the apology ineffective. "I had a bad day" or "your noise was giving me a headache" leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology. Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say "I'm sorry you're upset"; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done. Then there is the general, all-covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying "I'm useless as a parent" does not commit a person to any specific improvement. These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo- apologies. But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition (悔悟), children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six- year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not. |
| 1. According to the author, "tricky" means ____. |
| A. simple B. complicated C. cautious D. various |
| 2. It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because ____. |
| A. it is only an empty promise B. it is not necessary C. it is neither clear nor effective D. it is hurtful and insulting |
| 3. In teaching children to say sorry ____. |
| A. parents should set them a good example B. parents should be patient and tolerant C. the significance of it should be involved D. their ages should be taken into account |
| 4. According to the passage, apologizing properly is ____. |
| A. a social issue calling for immediate attention B. a big problem faced by every family C. a sign of social progress D. not as simple as it seems |
