         Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than
    a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general . Why are
    uniforms so popular in the United States?
         Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more
    professional than civilian(百姓的)clothes . People have become conditioned to expect superior quality
    from a man who wears a uniform . The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more
    trust than one who appears in civilian clothes . Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a
    uniform . What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional
    identity(身份)than to step out of uniform?
         Uniforms also have many practical benefits . They save on other clothes . They save on laundry bills .
    They are tax-deductible(可减税的) . They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian
    clothes.
         Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of
    individuality experienced by people who must wear them . Though there are many types of uniforms, the
    wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement . When people
    look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.
         Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems . Though they are long-lasting, often their initial
    expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes . Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain,
    requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian
    clothes.

    1 . It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.
    A . still judge a man by his clothes
    B . hold the uniform in such high regard
    C . enjoy having a professional identity
    D . will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform

    2 . People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.
    A . suggests quality work
    B . discards his social identity
    C . appears to be more practical
    D . looks superior to a person in civilian clothes

    3 . The chief function of a uniform is to _______.
    A . provide practical benefits to the wearer
    B . make the wearer catch the public eye
    C . inspire the wearer's confidence in himself
    D . provide the wearer with a professional identity

    4 . The best title for this passage would be _______.
    A . Uniforms and Society
    B . The Importance of Wearing a Uniform
    C . Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform
    D . Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

         Animals are more like us than we ever imagined . They feel pain, they experience stress, they show
    affection, excitement and love . All these findings have been made by scientists in recent years-and such
    results are beginning to change how we view animals.
         Strangely enough, some of this research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonald's and KFC . Pressured by animal rights groups , these companies felt they had to fund scientists researching the emotional and mental states of animals.
         McDonald's, for instance, funded studies on pig behavior at Purdue University, Indiana . This research
    found that pigs seek affection and easily become depressed if left alone or prevented from playing with
    each other . If they become depressed, they soon become physically ill . Because of this, and other similar studies, the European Union has banned the use of isolating pig stalls from 2010 . In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact a day, and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting
         Other scientists have shown that animals think and behave like humans . Koko, the 300-pound gorilla
    at the Gorilla Foundation in Northern California, for instance, has been taught sign language . Koko can
    now understand several thousand English words, more than many humans who speak English as a second
    language . On human IQ tests, she scores between 70 and 95.
         Before such experiments, humans thought language skills were absent from the animal kingdom . Other myths are also being overturned, like the belief that animals lack self-awareness . Studies have also shown
    that animals mourn their dead, and that they play for pleasure.
          These striking similarities between animal and human behavior have led some to ask a question: "If
    you believe in evolution, how can't you believe that animals have feelings that human  beings have?"
         Until recently, scientists believed that animals behaved by instinct and that what appeared to be learned behavior was merely genetically-programmed activity . But as Koko the Gorilla shows, this is not the case . In fact, learning is passed from parent to offspring far more often than not in the animal kingdom.
         So what implications does this knowledge have for humans? Because of this, should we ban hunting
    and animal testing? Should we close zoos? Such questions are being raised by many academics and
    politicians . Harvard and 25 other American law schools have introduced courses on animal rights .
    Germany meanwhile, recently guaranteed animal rights in its constitution-the first country to do so.

    1 . McDonald's and KFC give money to support scientist to do research on animals, because_____
    A . they are international big companies.
    B . they love animals.
    C . they are pressured by animal right groups.
    D . they earn a large amount of money and want to do some good deeds.

    2 . The research on pigs at Purdue University shows that______
    A . pigs love being alone.
    B . pigs easily become physically ill.
    C . pigs need affection.
    D . pigs don't like to play with each other.

    3 . Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A . Animals behave by instinct.
    B . Animals have self-awareness.
    C . Animals have feelings and love.
    D . Animals do not have language skills.

    4 . Should we ban hunting and animal testing?
    A . Yes.
    B . No
    C . Not certain

        Even facts "forgotten" by people during a busy day may be retrieved if this is followed by a good
    night's sleep.
        Researchers from the University of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple words . Many
    found their memories letting them down towards the end of the day, but the following morning, those
    who had slept well could recall much more.
        Researchers, writing in the journal Nature, said the brain could "rescue" lost memories during the
    night.
        When the brain is first asked to remember something that memory is laid down in an "unstable" state,
    meaning that it is possible that it could be lost . At some point, the brain consolidates those it deems
    important into a "stable", more permanent state . However, the Chicago researchers suggested that it
    was possible for a "stable" memory to be made "unstable" again . This would mean that memories
    could be modified then filed away again in the face of new experiences.
        The 12 volunteers tested in the experiment were played words created through a speech synthesizer
    which were purposely difficult to understand . Initially, the written version of the word  from the audio
    version only . Tests revealed that the ability to recall the right word tended to tail off as the day ended.
        However, when the volunteers were retested after a good night's sleep, they were able to recall
    some words that they had " forgotten" the previous evening.
        Dr Daniel, one of the study authors, said: "Sleep consolidates memories, protecting them against
    subsequent interference or decay . Sleep also appears to "recover" or restore memories." He said: "If
    performance is reduced by decay, sleep might actively recover what has been lost."
       Dr Karim Nader, from the Department of Psychology in McGill University in Montreal, said:
    "Memory research is undergoing a transformation-no longer is memory thought to be a hard-writing
    of the brain, instead it seems to be a process of storage and restorage."
        Sleep helps some memories "mature" and also prunes out unimportant memories.

    1. What does the first paragraph implies?
    A . A busy day makes people forget things easily.
    B . People need a good night's sleep after a busy day.
    C . A good night's sleep helps memories.
    D . A good night's sleep helps people forget a busy day.

    2 . The words the 12 volunteers played in the experiment were not ____
    A . created through a speech synthesizer
    B . hard to understand
    C . available at the beginning
    D . designed to test people's ability of understanding

    3 . According to the passage, memory_____
    A . is a hard-writing of the brain
    B . is not a process of storage
    C . is not a process of restorage
    D . will be mature with the help of sleep

    4 . Which of the following is NOT true?
    A . When people first remember something, the memory is in an "unstable state".
    B . The brain will change those important unstable memories into stable.
    C . Once the memory become stable, it will never become unstable again.
    D . Sleep can protect memories from being harmed.

         The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂).   1    Separateness, according to
    psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.
          2   It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between
    two kinds of love: B-love or "being love" means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent
    upon your own needs. D-love or "deficiency-love" is a selfish possessive love which is based upon
    someone else's ability to satisfy your needs.
         D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met…But B-love is
    unconditional.    3   Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow
    yourself to be known to the other person.
         The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love.  4    Symbiotic union is
    an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow's concept of D-love.
         Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their
    independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of
    separateness yet continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say , "I love you because I need
    you," but the mature one: " 5   "
    A.There are two types of love.
    B.I need you because I love you.
    C.Love is a way of overcoming the feeling
    D.Every one of us needs love.
    E.It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.
    F.They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.
    G.These two types are quite different from each other.

         Never shall I forget the first English lesson giving by Miss Liu. One Monday morning, when
    she entered the classroom, we found out that she was a young and beautiful lady. Then she introduced
    her and said they shouldn’t call her Teacher Liu but Miss Liu. Later, she let us go to the blackboard and
    said something about ourselves in English in turns. When it was my turn, I felt too shy that I didn’t dare
    to say anything before the class. She went up to me and said kind, “Don’t be afraid. I believe you can
    do well.” At last, I went to the blackboard.
         She praised me for that I had done.
