16.To err is human.To blame the other guy is even more human.
  Common sense is not all that common.
  Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
  These three popular misquotes (戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes,and yet they tell us a lot about human nature.To err,or to make mistakes,is indeed a part of being human,but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for the problem.Perhaps it is the natural thing to do.The original quote about human nature went like this:To err is human,to forgive,divine (神圣的).This saying mirrors a deal people should be forgiving of others'mistakes.Instead,we tend to do the opposite---find someone else to pass the blame on to.However,taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.
Common sense is what we call clear thought.Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well,and it also means staying with the plan.Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm,but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine.Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations,because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything.People say that in a large company,"the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing."
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art?One of the common problems with making excuses is that people,especially young people get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time.There is a corollary (直接推论) to that:if good excuse is"good"even if it isn't honest,then where is the place of the truth?
28.According to the passage,which of the following seems the most human?D
A.To search for truth.
B.To achieve one's ideal.
C.To make fun of others'mistakes.
D.To criticize others for one's own error.
29.According to the author,what is a sign of a man's maturity?B
A.Doing things his own way.
B.Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.
C.Making as few mistakes as possible.
D.Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.
30.What is the author's opinion about a good excuse?D
A.Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.
B.Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.
C.A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.
D.Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.
31.What would be the best title for his passage?A
A.Mirror of Human Nature          
B.To Blame or to Forgive
C.A Mark of Maturity             
D.Truth or Excuse.
17.Electrical devices(仪器)could soon use power made by human energy.Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking,British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
The device connects to a person's knee.As the person walks,the device captures energy each time the person slows down.To do this,the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg,the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity.Using the device,an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute.Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
There are several possible uses for the device.Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers.The device could also he used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers,it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms,but it is too costly for most people to buy,but the researchers hope to make a lighter,less costly version,An improved version should be ready in one year.
The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries; nearly twenty five prcent of people around the world live without electric power.
A similar product was invented in 2005by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania,He created a bag carried on a person's back that also produces power from walking.The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag,but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
32.The second paragraph mainly talks aboutB
A.who developed the device
B.how the device works
C.several possible uses for the devices
D.how much electricity the device can produce
33.What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device?C
A.It is too heavy for the walker to bear
B.It is too complex for people to use
C.It is too expensive for most people to afford              
D.It will slow down one's walking speed
34.Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome,this new deviceA
A.produces power without adding more loads to the walker
B.can produce more power in a much shorter time
C.needs to be equipped with a battery        
D.can help the walker walk faster
35.What would be the best title for the passage?C
A.First device powered by walking will soon be on the market
B.Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers
C.Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walking
D Human energy will become a main source of electricity.
11.How to manage your email inbox(36)CWe loveit and we hateit.We need it and we want it,but too often the price we pay is complete email overload.As certainas the sun will rise,our inboxes will be full by mid-morning.
Honestly,we've done it to ourselves.We depend too much on it to communicate and as a result,have made ourselves pay attention toevery one of them.This is terrible.(37)EEvery time an email interrupts you,it costs time,money,and brainpower.
Here are some of my best tips to manage emails:
(38)BYou can't get into work if you check emails every ten minutes.Instead,you should set certain times to check your inbox,like the top of every hour orevery 90 minutes.Set a timer on your phone and stick to it.
Scan your inbox.(39)DAt the same time,delete everything that is unnecessary and answer timely requests first.
(40)FInstead of creating an email,try speaking with the person you want to communicate with.Often,a five-minute conversation on the line is much better than an email.

A.Email is becoming more and more important in our lives.
B.Set a schedule.
C.Emaii is our friend and the enemy.
D.Looking through the emails quickly can save your time.
E.Because emaii can interrupt our work and life.
F.Use a phone.
G.Talk to the person.
2.We Chinese are not big huggers.A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to express our friendship or affection (love) to one another.So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug,some of us feel awkward.Many questions go through our head.Where should I put my arms?Under their armpits or around their neck?What distance should I keep?Should our chests touch?
It's even more difficult with friends from some European countries.Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging?Which side?Or is it both cheeks?Which side should I start on?
But it isn't just people from cultures that are conservative(保守的) in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing.Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress(pain) in people who value their personal space.
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal,US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a"medium touch"culture,Americans do seem to be hugging more.From politicians to celebrities(famous people),hugs are given to friends,strangers and enemies alike; whether they are willing or not; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.
Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability(亲和力)like a good hug.US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners.
But not all are grateful to be embraced(hugged),even by the most influential and famous.To them,any hug is offensive(冒犯的) if it's not sincere.
Amanda Hess,writing for US magazine Slate,says public figures should stop imposing(强加) hugs on everyone they meet.For them,a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship,compassion or affection.It's all part of a show.Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance(主导) over those in their grasp.
Cecilia Walden,a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York,holds the same opinion."Power-hugging",as she calls it,is"an offender dressed up as kindness".It has become a fashion in the US where"bosses are already embracing their staff (either shortly before or after firing them),men and women,their friends or enemies,in a thousand cheating displays of unity".

A.we Chinese people don't know how to hug
B hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly
C.people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging
D.people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness

A.hugs are forbidden in England
B.she is much liked by American people
C.Americans hold a"medium touch"culture
