20.Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes.
"Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality."Shoes serve a practical purpose,and also serve as nonverbal indications with symbolic messages.People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear."
Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a person's general age,their gender,income,political affiliation(派别),and other personality characteristics,including someone's emotional stability.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style,cost,color and condition of someone's shoes.In the study,63University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes,and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
So,what do your shoes say about your personality?
Some of the results were expected:People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(外向者).
However,some of the more specific results are interesting.For example,"practical and functional"shoes were generally worn by more"agreeable"people,while ankle boots were more closely aligned with"aggressive"personalities.
The strangest of all may be that those who wore"uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities.
And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take eexceptional care of them,you may suffer from"attachment anxiety",spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing"shabbier and less expensive"shoes.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits,but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.
28.We can infer from Paragraph 2thatD.
A.shoes are vital to their wearers
B.a practical purpose is to wear shoes
C.people want to buy new shoes they pay attention to
D.shoes may give away their wearers'information
29.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?D
A.People with high incomes probably wear expensive shoes.
B.Ankle boots are closely aligned with"aggressive"personalities.
C.People wearing"uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to be calm
D.People who wear practical and functional shoes may be hard to deal with
30.The underlined word"attachment anxiety",probably meansC.
A.Attached happiness to one's personality.
B.Feeling always worried about everything.
C.Often feeling worried about his or her appearance.
D.Wasting an inordinate amount of time.
31.Which might be the best title for the passage?D
A.Bad Shoes,Bad Personality.
B.People Are What They Wear.
C.How To Choose Suitable Shoes        
D.Shoes Reflect A Person's Personalities.
1.The life expectancy is the length of time that a person is normally likely to live.As it increases nowadays,the average person lives beyond the age of retirement.As a result,the elderly make up an ever-increasing percentage of society,which makes it more important to make effort to improve the lives of senior citizens.
First of all,one way would be to make sure that the elderly have enough money on which to live.Obviously,when a person stops working,they still require a source of income to cover their basic needs such as food,accommodation and heating.A clear solution to the problem is for the government to make sure that the state pension(养老金) is enough for these needs.
Measures should also be taken to overcome the health problems the elderly face.The government should also provide access to the best health care available,which may necessitate paying for residential homes where the elderly can have round-the-clock nursing,or,at least,providing medication free of charge to all people over a certain age.
If we try to address the problem of social isolation (社交孤立),the lives of old people could be improved.If we organize trips for the elderly to community centers,visits from social workers,their problem of loneliness can be reduced a lot which marks the lives of so many old people living alone and far from their families.
The last helpful suggestion is to change the attitude of the community towards its older members,who are all too often seen as a burden on society.We need to be taught from an early age to respect the views of old people,and appreciate their broader experience of life.This would help society as a whole,and encourage appreciation of the role that old people can still play today.

A.should be respected by all of us
B.may be regarded as our heavy burden
C.must change their attitude to the community
D.have to gather more life experience.

5.When a computer works on a group of programs,it can get very hot.Cooling the computer can
cost a lot.So some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used.
Large Internet companies (公司) such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers.As these computers deal with information,they produce lots of heat,so they need huge cooling systems (系统).These systems send the heat into the air.
A company in Holland (荷兰) thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy.So the company developed a special device-the e-Radiator.
Boaz Leupe,head of the company,says that e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money.He explains that the energy is used twice-once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don't have to pay to cool their computers.
Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes."We pay for the computer using,so,in that way,homeowners get heating for free,"Boaz says.
Jan Visser is one of the homeowners."If you use the computer more,the e-Radiator producers more heat,"he says,"It cannot provide enough heat if you don't use your computer often."But he is ready to try it.It's a great help for his family.
The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃.It says the system could save its users about﹩440a year.

32.The e-radiator is mainly usedA.
A.to provide heat  
B.to drive the computer
C.to heat the computer  
D.to help Microsoft
33.Before the e-Radiator appears,usually the heat of a computerD.
A.makes the computer work better     
B.helps the five homeowners
C.is used twice                    
D.is sent into the air
34.The Chinese meaning of the word"device"in this passage is probably"B".
A.节能  
B.仪器 
C.实验 
D.开关
35.The best title of the passage may be"C".
A.An Environment Problem           
B.The Future Computers
C.A New Way to Heat Homes         
D.The Energy to Be Wasted.
2.BASE Jumping
BASE jumping is a very dangerous sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects.It has become popular with those individuals who are constantly looking for new and exciting things to do.Because BASE jumping is very dangerous,it is sometimes considered a"stunt"(绝技)or"daredevil activity"rather than a sport.
BASE stands for the four categories of fixed launch points for a BASE jump:building,antennae,span(bridge),and earth(cliff)."BASE numbers"are awarded to those jumpers who have completed at least one jump from each of the categories.A BASE number qualifies a participant as a recognized BASE jumper.
Carl Boenish made the first official BASE jump from the Troll Wall in Norway in 1984.Unfortunately,Carl Boenish was killed two days after that first BASE jump as he tried to make another BASE jump off the Troll Wall.Improvements in equipment have helped reduce BASE jumping deaths.Still,many people,including experienced and skilled jumpers,are still injured or killed every year.There are no reliable statistics on the number of people killed or injured while BASE jumping,but it is certainly more dangerous than skydiving.Because of the high death rate,BASE jumping has not gained widespread acceptance.This is also one of the reasons that it is illegal in many countries,A BASE jumper needs to get permission to use both the place from which the jump starts and the landing area.Some places,like the Troll Wall,are banned because of the high level of danger.However,many sites are still open to jumpers.
BASE jumping is something that teenagers shouldn't do.It can easily injure or kill them.It also requires a lot of time,energy and money.As parents expect their children to have good judgment,they should think hard before they do anything that is really dangerous.
48.What is the author's attitude towards BASE jumping?C
A.It should be banned.
B.It should be encouraged.
C.The jumpers should be careful.
D.More sites should be open to jumpers.
49.The author shows his viewpoint byD.
A.listing the numbers
B.using a famous saying
C.explaining causes and effects
D.showing the facts and examples
50.Which of the following is true?B
A.Carl Boenish died in the first BASE jump from the Troll Wall in 1984.
B.Even experienced jumpers can be injured or killed in a certain jump.
C.Teens'parents don't support BASE jumping because it costs money.
D.A BASE jumper can freely choose any place to start the jump.
