4．The majority of Indian women wear a red dot （圆点） between their eyebrows．While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital （婚姻的） status，the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion．The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects，and"bindi"is the one that is most commonly known．Traditionally，the dot carries no gender restriction：Men as well as women wear it．However，the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times，so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one．
The position of the bindi is standard：center of the forehead，close to the eyebrows．It represents a third，or inner eye．Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes：The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world，and the third one is there to focus inward toward God．As such，the dot serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer's thoughts．
Red is the traditional color of the dot．It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife's eyes to seal their marriage．According to Hindu beliefs，the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple．Today，people go with different colors depending upon their preferences．Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes．Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes，colors and variations，and can be worn by young and old，married and unmarried people alike．Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom．

8．[iks?pl?ud]explode．
18．It is our first attempt in exploring the Moon with the new technology．
5．Two things I did may have caused people（31）to think （think） that something is wrong with me．The first was when my wife asked me to have the sitting-room clock （32）repaired （repair）．I drove into the market place of our little town and，clock under arm，entered a shop．Only it was the meat shop．（33）Withmy thoughts far away，I stood staring into the shop-keeper's eyes．I （34）had been（be） his customers for a long time and the good man smiled at me．
This went on for several very long seconds before I realized where I was．There is no doubt that I should have calmly bought a pound of meat，（35）butI merely nodded briefly and left．
The other man in my town who probably thinks I am mad is Mr．Smith．Some years ago he was manager of Mead's Shop，and he and I knew each other quite well．One day，he（36）was standing（stand） in the doorway of his shop when I passed．My brain was on some distant problem and my eyes stared into space．
"Hello，Mr．Herriot，"I heard his voice．I turned a blank gaze on him-I just had no idea（37）whohe was though his face was familiar．Then I saw（38）theword"MEAD"in foot-high letters above the shop window．
"Good morning，Mead，"I cried heartily and continued my way．I had gone only a few steps before I realized that my greeting had been（39）impolite（polite）．I turned back and said to him again，"Good morning，Mister Mead．"
It was only when I had turned the corner of the street that I realized，too late，（40）thathis name was Tony and the time was late afternoon．
2．--I'm sorry，Sir．I got stuck in the heavy snow on the way to work this morning．
--    you were so late．It is none of your business．（　　）
A．Go aheadB．Forget itC．No wonderD．No way
5．Until late in the 20th century，most Americans spent time with people of generations．Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves．That's because we group people by age．We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center，our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities，and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes．Why？
We live away from the old for many reasons：young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying．It is much harder to watch．someone we love disappear before our eyes．Sometimes it's so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most．
Fortunately，．some of us have found our way to the old．And we have discovered that they often save the young．
A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people．At first her children were disappointed．But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit．Soon the children had many new friends，with whom they shared food，stories and projects．"My children have never been less lonely，"the reporter said．
The young，in turn，save the old．Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby．She was immediately surrounded．People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair．Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child．Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure．
Grandparents are a special case．They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity．As my husband put it，"my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end．"
Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents．"My parents were always telling me to hurry up，and my grandparents told me to slow down，"one friend said．A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents：they are quieter，calmer，more trusting．

29．Now in an American family，people can find thatC．
A．children never live with their parents．
B．aged people are supported by their grandchildren．
C．not all working people live with their parents．
D．grandchildren are supported by their grandparents．
30．The reason why old people are left alone may be thatD．
A．the old don't like to live in a big family．
B．the young can't get enough money to support the old．
C．the old are too weak to live with the young．
D．different generations have different lifestyles．
31．The fact that the reporter told us shows thatA．

C．she had no time to take care of her children．
D．old people in America lead a hard life．
32．By saying"Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure"the author meansC．
A．old people had never seen her baby before
B．the baby was clever and beautiful
C．the baby brought old people the image of life
D．the baby's mother would take care of them．
