【题目】“Old wives’ tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example,most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking,but others have not passed the test of time.

Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you,too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.

Unfortunately, not all of Mom’s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems?Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains(谷物) tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.

Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold_water,_there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth.

B. Eating garlic is good for our eyes.

C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous.

D. Carrots prevent people from catching colds.

【2】The author develops the third paragraph mainly________.

A. by cause and effect

B. by order in space

C. by examples

D. by order in time

【3】The phrase“ hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means“________”.

A. to be valuable

B. to be believable

C. to be admirable

D. to be suitable

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards“old wives’ tales”in the text?

A. Subjective(主观的).

B. Objective(客观的).

C. Dissatisfied.

D. Curious.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

【1】根据Sticky sweets made with grains(谷物) tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.可知粘性的甜食对我们的牙齿有害，故选A。

【2】根据For example以及第三自然段的其他内容可知，这个自然段主要是举例子，故选C，

【3】根据here is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales..这句描述可知前面想要表达尽管科学告诉我们有些传统的观念不可信，故选B

【4】通过我们阅读全文，根据After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated (积累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.可以看出作者对于祖辈流传下来的老话是持客观的态度，故选B

Gander’s Furniture Store

Stamford, Connecticut, 09876

Dear Sir,

I am writing about your November bill, which I am returning with this letter. I am not going to pay this bill. Last month I bought a table and four chairs for $65.50. They were sent to me on October 18. That night one leg of the table broke while my wife was putting our dinner on it. It fell on one of the chair, and that broke, too. Our $ 2.50 steak landed on the floor, and the dog ate it.

I spoke to the salesmen who had sold me the table and the chairs. He told me to write you a letter. I wrote you on October 20, saying that I was not going to pay for the furniture. On October 21 some men came and took it back to the store.

Please do something about your records. I do not want to receive another bill for the furniture which I returned.

Yours truly

Albertson

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

【1】 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

1. Get Out of Bed Earlier.

If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m., try getting up at 7:00 a.m.. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish. 【2】

2. Do the Important Tasks First.

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). 【3】

If you work like this, you'll usually save time. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

3. Reduce Interruptions

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. 【4】

4. 【5】

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work.

B. Take Breaks When Necessary.

C. Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

D. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

E. Would you want me to make your day longer?

F. I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long.

G. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.
