16．Wise compromise is one of the basic principle and virtue of the British．
　　If a continental greengrocer asks 14 shillings （or crowns，or francs） for a bunch of radishes，and his customer offer 2，and finally they strike a bargain agreeing on 6 shilling，this is just the low continental habit of bargaining； on the other hand if the British dock-workers or any other workers claim a rise of 4 shillings per day，and the employer first flatly refuse even a penny，but after a six week's strike they agree to a rise of 2 shilling a day-that is yet another proof of the British genius for compromise．Bargaining is a hateful habit； compromise is one of the highest human virtues-the difference between the two is that the first is practiced on the continent，the latter in Great Britain．
　　The genius for compromise has another aspect，too．It has a tendency to unite together everything that is bad．English club life，for instance，unites the duties of social life with the boredom of being alone．An average English house combines all the curses of civilizations with the ups and downs of life in the open．It is all right to have windows，but you must do not have double windows because double would indeed stop the wind from blowing right into the room，and after all，you must be fair and give the wind a chance．It is all right to have central heating in an English home，except in the bathroom，because that is the only place where you are naked and wet at the same time，and you must give British germs a fair chance．The open fire is an accepted，indeed a traditional institution．You sit in front of it and your face is hot while your back is cold．It is a fair compromise between two extremes and settles the problem of how to burn and catch cold at the same time．
　　English spelling is a compromise between documentary expressions and an delicate code-system； spending 3 hours in a queue in front of a cinema is a compromise between entertainment and asceticism（苦行主义）； the English weather is a fair compromise between rain and fog； to employ an English charwoman is a compromise between have a dirty house or cleaning it yourself； Yorkshire pudding is a compromise between a pudding and the county of Yorkshire．

14．Joshua Benjamin Sumsion，a young driver，who was not wearing his glasses when he hit and killed a pedestrian has been spared jail．The young guy was 19when he struck Adelaide man Shahid Talpur on States Road at Morphett Vale in 2011，just after sunset．The young driver tried to make a turn but the impact of the crash threw Mr Talpur across the road and he was struck by at least two more vehicles．
Sumsion admitted guilty to causing death by dangerous driving．The victim had lived close by and his wife was extremely painful when she found out the accident victim on the road was her husband．Judge Geoffrey Muecke accepted Sumsion，now 22，was very regretful and suspended（延缓） a jail sentence of two years and nine months．"I'm satisfied that good enough reasons exist in your case to suspend that sentence，"he said．"Those reasons include the circumstances of you causing accident，the background to you not wearing your glasses on the evening of Mr Talpur's death，your youth，your otherwise good character and the fact that I am convinced you are truly regretful．"Sumsion was banned from driving for 10years．
Judge Muecke said Sumsion had complained of trouble driving at night，but didn't admit the state of his eyesight．He had suffered through a series of unlucky events since 1999and was in low spirit at the time of the crash．Those events included a head injury and he"had difficulty accepting yet another disability"，the judge said．"You began to see yourself as physically weak and  vulnerable，"he said．"It was more than your coping skills could physically deal with．"
He said Sumsion now accepted the need to wear his glasses．A relative told the court Sumsion had been growing into a"wonderful young man"but since the accident had always kept a distance from friends and family．

1．Only on this way can you solve the problem．on-in．
11．Every year in America，high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test，or SAT in a shortened way．Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all．The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one's mathematical ability and use of the English language．Traditionally，the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension．
But the SAT folks have added a single question，to be answered in an essay，hand-written on the spot．That's an interesting way to test writing ability，but content aside，have you ever seen young people's handwriting lately？Or anyone's for that matter，in this age of computer keyboards？Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks．They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word．
Yet today's kids are asked to write，thoughtfully and clearly，for several minutes on this SAT Test．Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl （潦草的字迹） of young people who've been typing on computers since the age of three!Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one's score on the SAT，but also，later on in life，impress potential employers．And don't forget，we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time，as computers go down when power goes out．
Then how to improve the handwriting？Well，with a few simple steps you can improve your hand writing．
Position the pen．You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb，then rest it near the first knuckle （指节） of the middle finger．The rest of your fingers should be curled （卷曲） under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed．
Evaluate your writing．Make changes to your letters till you like how they look．
Take your time．Speed is bound to make your writing messy-looking．
Practice．Practice it a lot； it's not enough to do it once and hope for the best．It has to be something you work at to make great improvements．

2．When an emergency situation occurs，observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses．This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect．
The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect，which is named after Catherine"Kitty"Genovese，a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13，1964．Early in the morning，28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work．As she approached her apartment entrance，she was attacked and stabbed （刺） by a man later identified as Winston Moseley．Despite Genovese's repeated cries for help，none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help．The attack first began at 3：20，but it was not until 3：50 that someone first contacted police．
Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident，as well as most Americans．As the conclusion，the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments．
There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect．First，the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility．Because there are other observers，individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action，since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present．The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways．When other observers fail to react，individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate．
Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is ambiguous．In the case of Kitty Genovese，many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a"lovers'quarrel"，and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered．
61．The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect becauseBa woman surnamed Genovese．
A．it somehow caused the murder of    
B．its discovery resulted from the murder of
C．it was actually discovered by                   
D．it always makes people think of
62．Genovese was murderedD
A．while she was going out                                 
B．in her apartment
C．halfway home                                               
D．near her apartment
63．Which can NOT have been a possible reason for the neighbors NOT offering Genovese help？A
A．They believed in the bystander effect．
B．They thought someone else might help her．
C．They didn't think they should help．
D．They didn't think she needed help．
64．Before deciding to offer help，observers mayC，according to the psychol
ists．
A．wait for sort of a signal                          
B．hesitate and estimate the risk of getting hurt
C．want to be sure it's appropriate to react     
D．wonder if the victim is worth helping
65．The article seems to suggest that，if there had beenBobservers，Genovese might not have been murdered．
A．no                           
B．fewer                       
C．more                     
D．braver．
19．Speaking two languages can actually help offset（抵消） some effects of aging on the brain，a new study has found．
Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive（认知的） task to another，something that's known to take longer for older adults，said lead researcher，Brian Gold，a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky．
Gold's team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults，knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies．However，they found that older adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those didn't．The study only looked at life-long bilinguals，defined in study as people who had spoken a second language daily since they were at least 10years old．
Gold and his team asked 30people，either bilingual or monolingual，to have a series of tests．They found that bilingual people were not only able to switch tasks faster，they had different brain activity than their monolingual peers．
Kristina called bilingualism"a beautiful natural experiment"，because people grow up speaking two languages，and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them．
Gold said he grew up in Montreal，where he spoke French at school and English at home，prompting relatives to question whether his French language immersion（专心）would somehow hinder his ability to learn English．
"Until very recently，learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous，"he said．"Actually，it's beneficial．"

29．What's the main idea of the passage？A
A．Researchers found that bilingual people can slow down the speed or aging on the brain and respond fast．
B．Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly．
C．Researchers found that speaking two languages is important．
D．Researchers found that bilingual people are great．
30．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？C
A．Older bilinguals can't respond faster in mind．
B．Young bilinguals can respond faster in mind than those monolinguals．
C．Older adults speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10years old can respond faster than those who don't．
D．Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolinguals．
31．In Gold's opinion，learning a second language in childhood isD．
A．dangerous to children                 
B．not beneficial to children
C．dangerous but beneficial to children       
D．not dangerous but beneficial to children．
