There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 yearsa ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a   21 . The owner,  22  he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs availabe, so he kept   23  the man’s office.
This situation continued   24  for a few months, until the owner   25  to give the homeless man a job which   26  sweeping outside the shop. Every single day form 5 a.m, the homeless man was there doing the very   27  he could for the   28 , making it the community’s favourite, even though it did earn him pennies.  29 , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working   30  a cashier(收银员). He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t   31  any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all. The homeless man did a/an   32  job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to   33  the finances for the whole shop.
To my   34 , this was the arrangements up until 2 years ago, when the owner   35 . In his will, he only had one   36 , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as   37 , with his own business that is still   38  and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.

If you are in a town in a western country, you'll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. But the reason why one keeps a dog has changed Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told him to. Later people used dogs for the hunting other animals, and the dogs didn't eat what they got until their master agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chicks. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.

Paul, the oracle octopus (神算章鱼), was given a replica (复制品) of the World Cup as a reward for his perfect eight-for-eight record in predicting the results of matches.
The two-year-old octopus with possible supernatural powers turned into a worldwide celebrity for accurately predicting the German team’s five World Cup wins as well as their two defeats. Paul also tipped Spain to beat Netherlands in the final.
“We have had a lot of offers for Paul but he will definitely be staying with us and returning to his usual job-making children smile,” Sea Life spokeswoman Tanja Munzig in Oberhausen said after presenting Pual with the World Cup replica.
There’s no rational(合理的)reasons why Paul always got it right. Bettors around the world made small fortunes based on Paul’s guess, said Graham Sharpe, media relations director at William Hill in London. “I’ve seen a lot of things in my lifetime but this is the first time I’ve ever seen people making their picks based on what an octopus tells them. We had people coming in saying they didn’t know how to place a bet but heard about this German octopus and wanted to bet with him. It’s funny. But he kept getting it right.” said Sharpe.
Sharpe said that anyone who had placed a 10-pound accumulator bet(累计下注)on Paul’s prediction from the start of the World Cup would have won 3,000 pounds($4,500)by the end of the tournament.
Paul’s home at Sea Life aquarium(水族馆)in Oberhausen has been crowded with visitors and media from across Europe. Many networks broadcast his predicting live. Many networks broadcast his picks live. Hundreds were on hand to watch the World Cup replica lowered into his tank on Monday, 12 July, 2010.

A．will celebrate his birthday soon
B．predicted the results of matches accurately
C．helped beat Netherlands in the final
D．helped many fans earn much money
小题2: If a fan had placed a 200-pound accumulator bet on Paul’s prediction, he would have won
          during the tournament.
A．$30,000B．$45,000C．$60,000D．$90,000
小题3: The underlined word “tipped” in the 2nd paragraph probably means          .
A．orderedB．announcedC．predictedD．helped
小题4: From what Sharpe said we can learn that          .
A．it’s amazing for Paul to make more exact prediction than people
B．octopus like Paul may all have the ability to predict exactly
C．it’s common for people to believe in sea life for prediction
D．we’d better not bet with animals when we have trouble making our picks

A．Paul used to be children’s favorite sea life
B．it’s useless to bet with the oracle octopus
C．Paul was born with the ability to predict World Cup results
D．Germany will never be beaten if Paul stays with them
The bus is a usable form of transportation all over the world because we can easily take it to go everywhere. Also, we do not need to worry about danger on a long-distance trip. Now, we have comfortable buses in London. I would like to describe how comfortable they are. First, the number of seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19. The reason why the number of seats is now 19 is that the seats have been changed to big and comfortable sofas.
Originally, they changed the normal seats to airplane seats and took out ten seats from the buses. However, every customer wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when they went on long-distance trips, so they changed them to sofas. Also, the owners of the bus companies wanted to make more money, so they tried to meet the passengers’ needs. They changed the airplane seats to sofas, so the number of seats is now 19.
As the new buses appear, the prices go up, too. The owners have many ideas, which you have probably never thought about before. Now they have bus attendants who serve water, snacks, newspapers, and towels.
Also, you can change the direction and the height of the sofa to make yourself more comfortable, and there is a service bell on each sofa. Moreover, some companies show movies on the buses. In addition, when you go on a long-distance trip, they have luxurious(豪华的) buses that have an LCD screen on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus. They also have different TV channels, movie channels, and seventy TV games for killing time while you are on the bus.
小题1:How many airplane seats did they put in a bus originally?
A．10 seats.B．19 seats.C．34 seats.D．44 seats.
小题2: The direction and height of the sofas can be changed so that ______.
A. they can take up less space            B. they can hold more people
C. passengers can feel more comfortable   D. passengers can watch a movie
小题3:If you are thirsty and want to have a drink while sitting in the bus, you’d better _____.
A．go to the front of the bus to get itB．get off the bus to buy some by yourself
C．change the direction of the seatD．ring the bell on your sofa
小题4:Though there are fewer seats on the buses, _____.
A．the bus can pick up as many passengers as before
B．the owners get more money by offering better service
C．the bus fare remains the same as before
D．the bus is as crowded as it was before
  Everyone knows that you can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English.
Well, here’s a secret for you: a lot of British people can’t understand each other either! Apart from the different regional accents across the country, language can also differ (不同) among age groups. The words and pronunciations used by young Britons can be very different to those used by adults. This is called “yoof” culture.
The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Some people consider “yoof” to be a negative (消极的) term, since its pronunciation is easier than “youth”. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concepts (观念) and identity.
When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the censorship (审查) of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
They are creating a “yoof culture”. It is impossible to come up with a complete list of words used by yoof. By the time the list was completed, it would be out of date. New words come and go like fashions.

　Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.
Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.
Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.
Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.

A．Nonverbal communication and first impressionB．Nonverbal communication is culture-related
C．Nonverbal and verbal communicationD．The importance of nonverbal communication

A．we can see a person’s feeling on his face
B．a person’s emotions can be reflected through eyes
C．a person’s feeling can be reflected through his body languages
D．we can see a person’s feeling through his posture
小题3: Which of the following statements is not True ?
A．Meaning can be conveyed both by words and body language.
B．We can use nonverbal communication to learn about a person’s emotional states.
C．We often get the first impression by what a person says.
D．The first impression can affect what we will do in the following.
小题4:What can we conclude from the last paragraph ?
A．we can use different ways to express friendship.
B．each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication.
C．snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable.
D．learning a country’s culture is very important.
Take a look at the following list of numbers: 4, 8, 5, 3, 7, 9, 6. Read them loud. Now look away and spend 20 seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again. If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, though, you’re almost certain to get it right every time. Why is that? Because we most easily memorize whatever we can say or read within a two-second period. And unlike English, the Chinese language allows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds.
That example comes from Stanislas Dahaene’s book The Number Sense. As Dahaene explains: Chinese number words are remarkably brief. Most of them can be spoken out in less than one-quarter of a second (for instance, 4 is “si” and 7 “qi”). Their English pronunciations are longer. The memory gap between English and Chinese apparently is entirely due to this difference in length.
It turns out that there is also a big difference in how number-naming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed. In English, we say fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen. But we don’t. We use a different form: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fifteen. For numbers above 20, we put the “decade” first and the unit number second (twenty-one, twenty-two), while for the teens, we do it the other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen). The number system in English is highly irregular. Not so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system. Eleven is ten-one. Twelve is ten-two. Twenty-four is two-tens-four and so on.
That difference means that Asian children learn to count much faster than American children. Four-year-old Chinese children can count, on average, to 40. American children at that age can count only to 15. By the age of five, in other words, American children are already a year behind their Asian friends in the most fundamental of math skills.
The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basic functions, such as addition, far more easily. Ask an English-speaking seven-year-old to add thirty-seven plus twenty-two in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22). Only then can she do the math: 2 plus 7 is 9 and 30 and 20 is 50, which makes 59. Ask an Asian child to add three-tens-seven and two-tens-two, and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there, in the sentence. No number translation is necessary: it’s five-tens-nine.
When it comes to math, in other words, Asians have a built-in advantage. For years, students from China, South Korea, and Japan --- outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, and the typical assumption is that it has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math. The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different --- that being good at math may also be rooted in a group’s culture.
小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The Asian number-naming system helps grasp advanced math skills better.
B．Western culture fail to provide their children with adequate number knowledge.
C．Children in Western countries have to learn by heart the learning things.
D．Asian children’s advantage in math may be sourced from their culture.
小题2:What makes a Chinese easier to remember a list of numbers than an American?
A．Their understanding of numbers.
B．Their mother tongue.
C．Their math education.
D．Their different IQ.
小题3:Asian children can reach answers in basic math functions more quickly because ____________.
A．they pronounce the numbers in a shorter period
B．they practice math from an early age
C．English speaking children translate language into numbers first
D．American children can only count to 15 at the age of four
