7．Envy seems to be bad-but it doesn't have to be．Researchers are finding that，if approached the right way，there can actually be an advantage．
Psychologists classify envy in two ways：negative and positive．With positive envy，you are motivated by another person's success and struggle to follow it．With negative envy，you want to cut the advantaged person down so you look better by comparison．Let's say you feel sufferings of envy after your rival（对手） at another firm gets promoted．Negative envy might drive you to destroy his success，but positive envy would inspire you to work harder and get promoted，too．
Studies show positive envy can be a great motivator（动力）．In a 2011study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin，researchers in the Netherlands conducted a series of experiments with more than 200university students．Researchers found that when they caused feelings of positive envy----as opposed to admiration or negative envy----in the students，it drove them to want to study more and perform better on a test measuring creativity and intelligence．While admiration may feel better，the researchers found，it doesn't motivate performance like the pain and frustration of envy．
"Those painful sufferings of envy are there for an evolutionary（进化的） reason，"says Texas Christian University researcher Sarah E．Hill，"warning us that someone has something of importance to us．"Building on this theory，Dr．Hill and others conducted a series of experiments，published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology，to test whether envy improves attention and memory----the tools needed to copy a rival's steps to success．In one experiment，half of the participants were asked to recall past feelings of envy； the other half weren't．The two groups were then shown mock（模拟的） interviews of imaginary peers．The group filled with envy paid closer attention and better recalled details about the interview subjects．In other words，envy made them more astute（机敏的）．Not only can envy motivate us to reach for higher goals，it may even give us the cognitive push to get there．

32．What's the bad effect of negative envy？C．
A．It makes you lose heart and gets discouraged．
B．It has you feel motivated．
C．It makes you harm or hurt others on purpose．
D．It reminds you to struggle to follow your dreams．
33．What's the benefit of positive envy？B．
A．It inspires you to find a possible rival to try to defeat them．
B．It encourages you to work harder with a positive attitude．
C．It won't hurt your opponents in the same firm．
D．It won't destroy your success at another firm．
34．Compared to admiration，positive envy canD．
A．make you feel worse in all sides
B．be more likely to get you to admire others
C．make you feel the pain in your performance
D．be more likely to get you inspired to get success
35．What is the main idea of the passage？C
A．Envy seems to be bad．
B．Keep your envy in secret．
C．Make full use of positive envy．
D．Forget about your envy now．
4．Rome，Paris and New York are the world's top fashion cities，all of which have produced some of the top
trends，from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes．But have you ever wondered about the negative
ideas that they have enforced？
  In April 2016，the Advertising Standards Authority （ASA） in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that
featured models dancing around and having fun，because they were all extremely skinny．Banning ads due
to the models'extreme figures isn't new．The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason．In France，it
has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor's note proving that they are at a healthy weight．
   So what is the healthy weight for models？Twenty years ago，the average fashion model weighed 8%
less than the average woman．Today，they weigh 23% less．
   People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models
do．This provides a standard for beauty，and therefore people who want to achieve those things may
attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways．People may think they are overweight，due to the images
of models'thin figures．They see something wrong with their bodies，whether they are overweight or not．This is a key factor in a lowered body image，low self-esteem，depression and possibly even eating
disorders．
  I'm not blaming the fashion industry by any means．It's not their fault that many people look up to
the models and expect to live a life like theirs．I am glad that ASA is raising its voices when discussing the
growing issue of body images in the fashion industry．By banning the photos and videos，speaking out
against them and pushing for doctors'notes from the models，it's pushing for the idea that the traditional
fashion industry's body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned．

51．One of Gucci's ads was banned mainly becauseA．
A．its models are much too thin
B．none of its models had a doctor's note
C．models didn't act according to the rules
D．its models were dancing in an unhealthy way
52．The numbers mentioned in Paragrapg 3 show thatC．
A．people don't know why models weigh less
B．many women are on a diet to become models
C．models are becoming thinner with time going by
D．the healthy weight for models hasn't been decided
53．What does the fourth paragraph mainly show？A
A．The negative effects of models'images．
B．People's attitude towards models'images．
C．The benefits of becoming thin figures．
D．The changes in the standard of beauty．
54．The possible purpose of the ASA's measures is toB．
A．change the fortune models'are faced with
B．set up new standards of models'body images
C．criticize the traditional standards for models
D．encourage more people to live a life like models
55．What is the author's tone of writing this passage？C
A．Critical．
B．Humorous．
C．Objective．
D．Hopeful．
11．Going shopping seems easy，but actually it takes a lot of learning，especially in America．In fact，many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at"sales"or at special stores that sell things at low prices，which you may find interesting．In America，the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day．For example，in an American college，neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row．So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China．While you are shopping in the States，you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time．The purchase of used，second-hand clothing，furniture，or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money．Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality．If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture，you may go to a "loan closet"，where furniture rents at low cost，or you may also go to a"furniture exchange"place in the community．
  Sheets，blankets，and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year．Advertisements for"white sales"on bed linen，towels，etc．，often appear in January，as well as in May，June or July．Once or twice every season，there will be"garage sales"，where you can get almost anything，from a yacht to a pair of shoes，at low prices．Prices at"discount stores"and"thrift shops"are also as low as you can imagine．
  When shopping for food，you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly．To economize，it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale，including in it the meats，vegetables，fruits，etc．that can be bought at special prices that week．
Exchange and return policies vary from store to store．You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies，especially if the price of the items has been reduced．Ask the merchant about their exchange and return policies before making your purchase．Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult．So，to save yourself the headache，you'd better hold on to any paper or other proof of purchase．
