13．Hands down，Chinese company Lao Gan Ma makes the most delicious hot sauce we've ever tasted．Seriously，don't be fooled by the grumpy-looking lady on the jar!The deeply caramelized chilies，garlic，onions，soybeans and peanuts give this chili paste unbelievable flavor，while Sichuan peppercorns add a mouth-tingling zip…
BEWARE!!This hot sauce has peanuts in it．Watch out for that if you have or you know people with allergies．
Below are comments from netizens．
1．I have at least 20 different hot sauces； this is by far the best one．There chili oil，bean and chili flakes and peanuts，which work together perfectly．The spice level is also great-not the lasting habanero style burn，but more of a warm smooth heat．
2．I'm an international student from China studying in New York right now．Well more precisely I'm from Sichuan，where people are known for liking eating spicy food．There's a popular saying among Chinese students studying abroad that"Lao Gan Ma （Old Auntie or something similar） is the goddess of Chinese students overseas"．Funny but true!When we are not used to other non-Chinese food yet，we totally miss the taste!With this chili sauce，it's like being at home again．But the price of this on Amazon is incredibly expensive，back in China； it costs less than ONE US DOLLAR!Oh…I miss China and Chinese food!
3．This stuff is dangerously addictive．I wanted something similar to what I got at the Szechuan restaurant．Well I then came across this and was pleased with the reviews then purchased two jars．SO GLAD I DID．It does have some tiny peanut pieces that are crispy toasty，yum．The heat is very notable and smooth．
4．This product is more of a dipping sauce for eating with plain rice．But it took about a fifth of the bottle to fully season 2+cups of brown rice．At 8.59/bottlethisistooexpensive．IfounditinmylocalAsianmarketfor2.79．Turns out there are about numerous versions produced by this company，some of which may be worth exploring．
55．Why does the author mention the lady on the jar？A
A．To show us who made the sauce．
B．To prove she is really too grumpy to fool you．
C．To tell us the sauce is really inviting．
D．To explain the sauce is as old as the lady．
56．What do the second and the fourth netizen have in common？D
A．Both of them come from China．
B．Both of them think the sauce sold abroad expensive．
C．Both of them are international students．
D．Both of them bought Lao Gan Ma on the internet．
57．How did the third netizen feel after s/he bought the sauce？C
A．S/he was addicted to it because it is very addictive．
B．S/he regretted having bought it because it is too expensive．
C．S/he was very excited that she bought it．
D．S/he thought it was too spicy．
58．According to the passage，what can we conclude about LaoGanMa？C
A．People who are allergic to peanuts can freely enjoy it．
B．It is more popular and more expensive in America than in China．
C．The company produced only one kind of sauce．
D．It is a spicy bean sauce made in China．

3．Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures．They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions--mistaken ideas．
One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism，the belief that one's own culture's way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures．It's ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business．To avoid ethnocentrism，it's necessary to study the different elements（组成部分） of culture：language，values and attitudes，and customs and manners．
Language
A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways．First，people can communicate directly．Second，people are usually more open in their communication
with someone who speaks their language．Third，an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly．Finally，knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better．
Values and Attitudes
Values are people's basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong，good and bad．An attitude is a way of thinking or acting．Values and attitudes influence international business．For
Example，many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries，and they buy a lot of it．
Customs and Manners
Customs are common social practices．Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite．For example，in the United States，it is the custom to have salad（色拉） before the main course at dinner，not after．It's not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table．Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products．Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn't sell well because the French don't usually drink juice with breakfast．

32．A knowledge of the local language allows international business peopleB．
A．to be more open with their customers
B．to communicate without outside help
C．to express their thoughts indirectly
D．to have a better idea of their own culture
33．The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role ofC．
A．manners  B．values   C．attitudes  D．customs
34．What would be the best title for the text？C
A．Misconceptions in Business    B．Basic Beliefs in Business
C．International Business Culture   D．Successful International Business
35．The author's purpose of writing this article is to tell peopleB．
A．how to take a right attitude in business
B．how to avoid misunderstandings in business
C．how to use a local language in business
D．how to act politely and properly in business．
4．Do you want to have a close friend？Do you know how to make a good friend？Now，let me tell you．Before you make friends，you have to decide who you want to be your friends．Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do．
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile．When you smile，people think you are friendly and easy to talk to．It may not be easy at first to smile，but remember most people will stay away from a  scared or angry looking face．
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him．Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you．Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person？
Ask your new friends questions about themselves．Who's their favorite singer，where do they live，what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation．Make sure you have something to add to the conversation，too．When someone asks you a question，do have an answer for them．There's nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug （耸肩） for an answer．
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends．Remember，everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them．

1．American children aren't the only couch potatoes．According to a study of over 70，000teens in 34nations，nearly 1/3of children globally spend three hours a day or more watching TV or on computers．From Argentina to Zambia，Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children aren't getting enough exercise and it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor country．"With regard to physical activity levels，we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries，"Guthold said．"Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity．"The study，published in The Journal of Pediatrics，looked at 72，845schoolchildren aged 13to 15from North an South America，Asia，Europe，and the Middle East．The children were surveyed between 2003and 2007．
The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week．Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV，playing computer games，or chatting with friends----except from time in school or time spent doing homework---were classified as sedentary （久坐的）．The researchers found only 1/4of the boys and 15% of girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions.1/4of boys and approximately 30% of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country except from Zambia．While the study didn't look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations，it is believed that urbanization（城市化） could be a factor as well as to cars and TVs．

5．Can you believe your eyes？A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age．
   Martin Doherty，a psychologist at the University of Stifling in Scotland，led the team of scientists．In this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception（观察力） of some people，using pictures of some orange circles．The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people．The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10，and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25．
   The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background．One of the circles was larger than the other，and these people were asked to identify the larger one．Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time．Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time．
   Next，both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles，again of different sizes，were surrounded by gray circles．Here's where the trick lies in．In some of the pictures，the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles--making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger one．And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles--so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle．
   When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures，they weren't fooled-they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before．Older children and adults，on the other hand，did not do as well．Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one，and adults got it wrong most of the time．
   As children get older，Doherty said，their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context（背景）．In other words，they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middle．As a result，they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick．
71．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate．D
A．children's and adults'brains           
B．children's and adults'eye-sight
C．the influence of people's age         
D．people's ability to see accurately
72．When asked to find the larger circle，．C
A．adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around
B．children at 6 got it wrong 79%of the time with no gray ones around
C．children at 4 got it right about 79%of the time with gray ones around
D．only adults over 1 8 got it right 95%of the time with gray ones around
73．According to the passage，we can know that．A
A．a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size
B．an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size
C．a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size
D．a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background
74．Visual context may work when children get older than．B
A．4               B．6               C．10              D．18
75．Why are younger children not fooled？D
A．Because older people are influenced by their experience．
B．Because they are smarter than older children and adults．
C．Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older．
D．Because their brains can hardly notice related things together．
2．Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon？Many people feel this way after lunch．They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness．Or，in summer，they may think it is the heat．However，the real reason lies inside their bodies．At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body temperature goes down．This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy．Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day．The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern （模式）．They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later．
In many parts of the world，people take naps（小睡） in the middle of the day．This is especially true in warmer climates，where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon．Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate．A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general．In countries where naps are traditional，people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease．
Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to take naps．Though doctors may advise taking naps，employers do not allow it!If you do have the chance，however，here are a few tips about making the most of your nap．Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up．A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward．This can also happen if you sleep for too long．If you do not have enough time，try a short nap-even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．
60．Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text？C
A．They eat too much for lunch．
B．They sleep too little at night．
C．Their body temperature becomes lower．
D．The weather becomes a lot warmer．
61．If you get up at 6：30 am，what is the best time for you to take a nap？D
A．About 12：30 pm
B．About 1：30 pm．
C．About 3：30 pm                          
D．About 2：30 pm
62．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．Just for a Rest                           
B．All for a Nap
C．A Special Sleep Pattern
D．Taking Naps in Warmer Climate．
3．Living with physical disabilities can be challenging in all kinds of ways．But different from what most parents think，physical disabilities are no barrier（障碍）to a child enjoying all the benefits that healthy exercise and outdoor play can bring．The importance of exercise has been stressed in recent years as the problems connected with being too fat and poor mental（精神的）health become ever more widespread．Being physically disabled does not mean that a child cannot be affected by these problems．And being active is a natural and fun way of preventing problems like these from having a bad influence．
A swimming pool is one of the best places possible for physically disabled children to enjoy themselves．With proper support，whether from parents or from correctly trained professionals，children can get great benefits from being in the pool．The water provides both support and resistance（阻力），giving a cardiovascular（心血管的）workout as well as making muscles strong．Being able to feel free in a way that is not possible on land is another benefit of swimming．
It is possible to play most ball games with a group of children in wheelchairs．Moving and dancing to music is a great social activity for physically disabled children as well as something parents call enjoy with children．A parent or carer can help the child move in time to music or show movements to the child．Playing a modified （调整的）form of volleyball with a lowered net means that children in wheelchairs can take part and healthy people can sit on chairs to play with them．
With some imagination，enjoying activities with a child who is disabled is not a problem．With access to some special equipment，children with physical disabilities do not have to be limited in how they play．

72．What do most parents think of the children with physical disabilities？B
A．They can't really enjoy their lives．
B．They can't enjoy physical activities．
C．They have to stay indoors to protect themselves．
D．They are more likely to become too fat．
73．What benefits can physically disabled children get from swimming？C
a．getting support from professionals
