Many of us still tend to think that emotions can affect reasonable thought，and sometimes land us in trouble. But in recent years psychologists have taken quite a different view. Keith Oatley，Professor of Psychology at Glasgow University，is involved in the research which shows the fundamental importance of emotions.

He believes we are very ambivalent about them：we think of our emotions as being unreasonable，but we also consider them as essential to being human.For example，Mr Spock，a character in the television series Star Trek，is superintelligent and he has no emotions at all.However，he is never made captain of the spaceship.Maybe，this is because Mr Spock is not the kind of person you can share your feelings with—a person who shows his emotions.

As Professor Oatley points out，our emotions have very important functions，for example，fear.If we cross the road and a car approaches，we usually stop moving or step back.We stop what we are doing，check what we have done and pay very careful attention to the environment.The emotion of fear makes us take this small series of actions which，on average，help preserve our safety.

On the other hand，if things are going well and small problems come up，we find we can solve them with the resources we have to hand.As a consequence，we tend to feel happy and usually continue doing the job.

Anger is an emotion that tends to occur when someone is preventing us from doing something.Then this small “kit” of reactions enables us to prepare ourselves to be quite aggressive to that person，or to try harder，and so on.

Professor Oatley believes emotions generally occur at these important moments in actions.With fear and anger our emotions make us decide to start doing something else，while with happiness they “suggest” we continue what we are already doing.

【1】What’s Keith Oatley’s opinion about emotions?

A．They affect reasonable thought.

B．They get us into trouble.

C．They are helpful to us.

D．They are reasonable.

【2】What does the underlined part “we are very ambivalent about them” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．We have contradictory feelings towards emotions.

B．We have similar ideas of emotions.

C．We are quite clear about emotions.

D．We can do nothing about emotions.

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．Fear helps us to be careful about our surroundings.

B．Happiness inspires us to continue what we are doing.

C．Anger may urge us to make greater efforts.

D．Anger tends to do us more harm than good.

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A．we must control our emotions in daily life

B．emotions play a more important part than we realize

C．positive emotions such as love and joy are good for us

D．negative emotions make us continue what we are doing

Parents are creating an “I want it now” generation by indulging children’s every demand at Christmas，say experts.Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish，claim the education analysts.

Consumersavvy children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.

Behavioural consultant Chris Calland said，“Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids.There’s nothing wrong with that as such.The problem arises when it means always giving into all our children’s demands—even if they are beyond our price range or not ageappropriate.”

Ms Calland，who runs “Santa Says No” style sessions with colleague Nicky Hutchinson，added，“Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills.Yet so often the parcels we’ve carefully wrapped，once opened，are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for，they have now lost interest in.”

Ms Calland and Ms Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring’s Christmas lists this year.They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”．

Ms Calland said，“All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we’re only building up problems for the future.We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”

“Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind，they quickly realise it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it.Make sure you and your partner are working together on this.Be consistent.And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends.”

【1】What is the main problem with the “I want it now” generation?

A．They are quite selfcentered.

B．They like to live in fairy tales.

C．They waste a lot of money on gifts.

D．They can’t keep their interest in gifts.

【2】What is probably the aim of “Santa Says No” style sessions?

A．To advise on how to wrap gifts properly.

B．To keep children’s interest in the gifts.

C．To tell parents how to say no to children’s demands.

D．To advise parents on what gifts to buy for children.

【3】According to the passage，we can infer that Ms Calland intends to ________.

A．analyze children’s behavior

B．give advice to parents

C．introduce a new generation

D．give her support to parents

【4】Ms Calland would agree that parents should________.

A．buy nothing for children at Christmas

B．choose gifts carefully for children

C．let children choose their own gifts

D．avoid competing with others

【题目】Some students who had graduated visited their university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. To offer his guests coffee, the professor【1】(go) to the kitchen and returned with a pot of coffee and【2】variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking, some expensive—telling them to help【3】to the coffee.

【4】was when all the students had a cup of coffee in hand that he said, “All the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, 【5】 (leave) behind the plain and cheap ones. Actually, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. 【6】all of you really want is coffee, not the cup.You consciously went for the best cups, 【7】then you began eyeing others’ cups.”

“Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups, 【8】are just tools to hold and contain life. The type of cup we have does not change the quality of life . If we concentrate only 【9】 the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. I 【10】 (true) hope that you will never let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead.”

For my grandmother’s 70th birthday，my family and I visited South Korea.While there，I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.

I was surprised by how different Korea’s public high schools are from America’s.Korean high schools can be allgirls，allboys or coed (男女同校的) unlike our standard coed high schools.There are three grades：“go 1(10th)”，“go 2(11th)” and “go 3(12th)”．“Go” is the first syllable of the word “godeunghakkyo”，which，simply translated，is “high school”．

In America，unless you want to go to a private school，you don’t have to take an entrance exam.In Korea，however，students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.

Another difference I couldn’t help but notice was the students’ appearance.With very few exceptions，all wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌) with the student’s name，grade and homeroom number must also be worn.Girl’s skirts can’t be above the upper part of the knee，and it is forbidden to dye(染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) except small earrings.There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness，and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style，socks and shoes.

The final difference was the setup of the classes.There may be 40 students in a classroom，but the number can be less or even more，depending on the population of the town or city.Although there are many students per classroom，they are very close，which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects.There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms.They just have tenminute breaks between subjects.In each class，students are ranked by their grades.This causes strict competition，and Korean students do a lot of studying.To help them，all schools have extra study classes after school.One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays.Although it’s only a half day，I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.

Korea’s public high schools are clearly different from America’s.I had imagined them to be just like our schools，but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.

【1】How many main differences are mentioned between Korea’s public high school and America’s?

A．3. B．4.

C．5. D．6.

【2】It seems that the writer ________.

A．is familiar with the education system of high schools in Korea

B．is fond of Korean students’ appearance

C．prefers the high school life of America to the one of Korea

D．feels it common to have lessons on weekends

【3】What does the underlined word “setup” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Arrangement. B．Size.

C．Number. D．Outline.

【4】According to the rules, the students of Korea can ________.

A．go to different high schools without exams

B．wear any clothes except uniforms at school

C．attend different classes as they like

D．have different hair styles

【题目】Leonardo da Vinci’s mother may have been a Chinese slave according to a new research by an Italian historian and novelist—Angelo Paratico, who has spent the last 20 years living and working in Hong Kong, researching the links between his homeland and China over the past half century.

Mr Paratico said the documents he has uncovered during two years of research form the basis of his latest book Leonardo Da Vinci, a Chinese scholar lost in Renaissance(文艺复兴)Italy. The book, which is due to be published next year, uncovers evidence that there’s a link between Da Vinci and the Far East.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post, Mr Paratico said, “I am sure that Leonardo’s mother was from the East, but to make her a Chinese, we need to use a deductive method(演绎法). One wealthy client of Leonardo’s father had a slave called Caterina. After Leonardo’s date of birth, she disappeared from the documents．She was no longer working there.’’

It is believed that his mother was called Caterina, who, according to some reports, was a local peasant. But Mr Paratico’s new work claims it is most likely that Da Vinci’s mother was a slave. Supporting his theory, he said, “During the Renaissance, countries like Italy and Spain were full of slaves from the East.”

He claimed that there were certain aspects of Da Vinci’s life and works which suggest a Chinese link. For instance, he was writing with his left hand from left to right and he was also a vegetarian, which was not common. Mona Lisa is probably a portrait of his mother，as Sigmund Freud said in 1910. On the back of Mona Lisa, there is a Chinese landscape and even her face looks Chinese.

Mr Paratico said he believes the only way to solve the mystery is to dig out some of Da Vinci’s relations in Florence and extract some DNA.

【1】What is Mr Paratico’s latest book based on?

A. His research findings． B. His living experience．

C. His final visit to Italy． D. His interest in Renaissance．

【2】What may suggest there is a link between Da Vinci and Chinese?

A. His working habit． B. His ways of writing．

C. His birth date． D. His father’s friend．

【3】What can we learn about Da Vinci’s mother?

A. She was a slave of Leonardo’s father．

B. She quit working after her marriage．

C. She was buried in Florence after death．

D. She was probably the model of Mona Lisa．
