3.Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air,but their luggage doesn't always come home with them.Airline identification tags(标签) can come loose,and the bags go who-knows-where.And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
The airlines collect the items and,for 90 days,attempt to find their owners.They don't keep them,since they're not in the warehouse business.And by law,they cannot sell the bags,because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents,and they no longer belong to passengers,a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro,Alabama,buys them.The"Unclaimed Baggage Center,"is so popular that the building,which is set up like a department store,is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama.More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store's shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
Each day,clerks bring out 7,000 new items,and veteran(老练的)shoppers rush to paw over them.You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks,best-selling novels,leather jackets,tape recorders,surfboards,even half-used tubes of toothpaste.
The store's own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage,then sells them.The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns,illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.
The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions(获得物) have been preserved.They include highland bagpipes,a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb,and a medieval suit of armor.
Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S.carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.

15.Teenagers that are getting into different kinds of addiction have become one of the biggest problems faced all over the world and especially in America.That's why almost every state in America has specially designed treatment centers and rehab(康复) centers that give addiction treatment to youngsters.
In drug rehab centers in Wyoming,the treatment programs for youngsters are quite special.Youngsters fall into addiction due to their ignorance.That is why the drug rehab centers in Wyoming give more importance to proper counseling(咨询) programs.
The youngsters start consuming drugs either due to peer pressure or due to the stress they are going through,The families of the youngsters are most of the time unaware of the fact that their children are into some kinds of addition.Youngsters are playing with their future by taking drugs.The rehab centers in Wyoming try to spread awareness among the youngsters by conducting various programs.
The drug dealers try to target those areas to sell drugs where young people gather for enjoyment like pubs,discos,etc.The state government is trying their best to have control over the availability of these drugs.But the youth should also be aware of these harmful effects the drugs have on the body and mind.
A center for drug rehab in Wyoming will give proper guidance and counseling to teenagers to stay away from drugs.The role of families is also very important.Most families don't provide a healthy and peaceful atmosphere for the youngsters and the youngsters get fed up with the daily fights and quarrels that they see at home.Due to this,they can easily fall prey to any kind of addiction.
The treatment centers in Wyoming have various treatment programs designed specially for youngsters.They work along with their families so that they can plan out a suitable program for them.
29.According to the passage,we know that in AmericaC.
A.teenagers have become the biggest problem
B.there are different kinds of problems
C.nearly each state has treatment centers for youngsters.
D.the problem of drugs is not very serious at all.
30.Which of the following may lead to the youngsters'drug addiction according to the passage?A
A.The strong influence of their peers
B.Their curiosity about drugs.
C.The rich economy of their families.
D.Their happy home environment.
31.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?B
A.The state government can prevent the sale of drugs.
B.The drugs are easily available to teenagers.
C.The drug dealers can control all youths.

B.To introduce the teen drug rehab centers in Wyoming.
C.To explain how to design special treatment programs.
D.To give some useful tips on staying away from drugs.
11.It often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position.In their educational background,special skills and work experience,there is little,if anything,to choose between half a dozen candidates.How then does the employer make a choice?Usually on the basis of an interview.
There are many arguments about the interview as a selection procedure.The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision.As often as not,employers do not choose the best candidate,but the one who makes a good first impression on them.Some employers,of course,reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidate's likely performance.Unfortunately,both for the employers and applicants,there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well.There are also,of course,people who interview extremely well,but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees.
Those in favour of the interview insist that the well-structured procedure is valid in assessing a candidate's ability,an essential guarantee for the future job.They also argue that an employer is concerned not only with a candidate's ability,but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation.Many employers,for example,will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as she has a pleasant personality.Perhaps the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things,such as personality,character and social ability.
Today,interview is still the key section of the entire selection procedure,though different employers have different standards for competence.Generally speaking,candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident,but never boastful; direct and straight-forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly,but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic.Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour.They are either very shy or over-confident.They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it.They either talk too little or never stop talking.They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt.

63.We can infer from the passage that an employer might tolerate his secretary's occasional mistakes if  the latter isC.
A.direct  B.shy  C.cheerful  D.competent
64.What is the author's attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure?C
A.Supportive.  B.Negative.  C.Objective.  D.Unconcerned.
65.The last paragraph indicatesA.
A.a link between success in interview and personality
B.connections between work abilities and personality
C.differences in interview experience
D.differences in personal behaviour
66.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?B

CP:Central Point     P:Point     Sp:Sub-point (次要点)     C:Conclusion.
18.If cars had wings,they could fly and that just might happen,beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia,based in Woburn,Massachusetts,says it plans to deliver its car-plane,the Transition,to customers by the end of 2011.
"It's the next‘wow'vehicle,"said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh."Anybody can buy a Ferrari,but as we say,Ferraris don't fly."
    The car plane has wings that unfold for flying--a process the company says takes one minute--and fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies,although it is both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations,and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports:You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go.When you land,you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport--you park it in the garage at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds,including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界) conditions.
The Transition's price tag:$194,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio,transponder or GPS.Another option is a full-plane parachute.
"If you get into a very awful situation,it is the necessary safety option,"Gersh said.
    So far,the company has more than 70 orders with deposits."We're working very closely with them,but there are still some remaining steps,"Brown said.
67.From the first paragraph we can learn thatD.
A.car-planes will be produced in large amount in 2011
    B.Richard Gersh is the president of Terrafugia
    C.both Transition and Ferrari can fly and land safely
    D.possibly people will drive a car-plane in 2011
68.It takes the car-plane one minute toC.
    A.fold and unfold its wings             B.fold back up for driving
    C.unfold wings for flying              D.land in the airport
69.According to the passage,which of the following is Wrong?B
    A.The car-plane requires a runway to take off and land.
    B.The car-plane may fly higher than normal planes.
    C.People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.
    D.the company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations.
70.What's the best title for the passage?A
    A.Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes.
    B.Which to Choose:A Ferrari or a Car Plane
    C.A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly.
    D.Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner.
8.Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate.And the sad truth is that"clothing mismatches"on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)-and the people with whom he or she comes in contact.
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes.Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire,while others maintain a more relaxed attitude.However,it is always important to remember that no matter what your company's attitude is regarding what you wear,you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly.Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting,just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment.Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position.A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant.Like it or not,you will be judged by your personal appearance.
This is never more apparent than on"dress-down days",when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could.In fact,people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on"business professional"days.Thus,when dressing in"business casual"clothes,try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices,recognize that the"real"definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days.
Remember,there are borders between your career and our social life.You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business.Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there.Is the final destination the opera,the beach,or the office?Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man-and the woman.When in doubt,always misjudge on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands.

72.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.How to dress properly in a business setting.
B.A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant.
C.The differences between professional and casual dress.
D.Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable.
73.Which of the following statements is true?C
A.Every company has strict rules regarding office dress.
B.You can wear whatever you like if your company doesn't have high standards for dressing.
C.You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules.
D.In companies with relaxed rules on office dress,you can't spot a manager among others.
74.Which statement best describes"dress-down days"?D
A.On dress-down days,you can wear whatever you like.
B.People's clothes on dress-down days don't receive much attention.
C.We can't judge a person's taste by his clothes on dress-down days.
D.People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress-down days than on other occasions.
75.Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage with regard to business dress?A
A.Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.
B.Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner.
C.For a business meeting and a concert,you should dress differently.
D.Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for a certain occasion.
15.In offering Michael Jackson ticket holders the choice to take a refund or receive their unusable tickets as souvenirs,AEG have introduced music fans to one of the most unmanageable problems in the mathematical sciences.If nearly everybody takes the refund then the tickets,designed by the King of Pop himself,will become collectors'items and worth a fortune.However,if ail 750,000fans take their tickets then they will all hold worthless bits of fancy paper.
The choice facing fans is similar to the El Farol bar problem,which has been the subject of hundreds of academic papers and inspired a whole field:minority game theory.That is,if you reason that every Michael Jackson fan will take a refund then you should take the ticket,but they will reason in the same way and there will be a flood of souvenirs,so you should ask for your money back,but then…
So,with the benefit of the hundreds of academic papers from scientists around the world,what should a Times reader who holds a ticket do?The research tells us that,if you assume everybody else will use the same strategy as you,then the best you can do is to throw a dice(骰子):deciding whether or not to keep the ticket according to a probability determined by demand for tickets and price.However,working out the probability is tough and most fans,without the benefit of minority game theory,won't be tossing a dice.
There is one huge factor in the Michael Jackson problem which isn't in the standard El Farol bar problem.Hype (炒作)•If the owners of the El Farol bar distributed fliers (传单) announcing it was going to be quiet next week,then it would be a safe bet to stay at home with a glass of wine.So my advice would be to read the newspapers and decide what to do on the basis of the experts'advice.If all the articles you read say the tickets will be collectors'items then ask for a refund,and if they all accuse AEG of cheating crazy fans then take the ticket.It was,after ail,designed by Michael Jackson.

67.In the Para 1,the underlined part"the King of Pop"refers toB.
A.El Farol           B.Michael Jackson
C.A ticket holder    D.A souvenir keeper

A.what advice to take            B.how to get their money back
C.how to deal with the tickets   D.how to make a fortune
69.It isn't said but implied that"minority game theory"is a theory aboutA
A.people's reasoning 
B.Jackson's strategy
C.experts'advice 
D.minority's bet
70.What the writer advises the ticket holders to do isC.
A.to throw a dice 
B.to follow the experts
C.to read the newspaper 
D.to take the ticket.
12.Most tourist destinations around China are witnessing travel peaks during the eight-day Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays that run through Sunday.In Beijing,the Palace Museum,or the Forbidden City,attracted 182,000 tourists on Tuesday,the biggest number on a single day,as millions of visitors arrived in the national capital."We saw absolutely nothing but people's heads,''said Guo Zhijun,42,of Henan province."We wanted our 11-year-old son to learn something from the trip,but we only ended up very tired."
    Earlier,from Sunday noon to midday Monday,garbage collected at Tian'anmen Square in the heart of the city amounted to 7.9 tons,a quarter more than that in the same period of last year.
    In the eastern coastal city of Qingdao,its top five major tourist sites attracted more than 200,000 visitors on Tuesday.
    Yesterday,thousands of cars jammed two 20-kilometer mountain roads winding to and out of the Lushan Mountain scenic area in the eastern province of Jiangxi.The area,with about 3,000 car parking spaces,was unable to contain at least 8,000 inbound cars,said head of the Lushan Mountain public security bureau.
    The Lushan Mountain tourism administration temporarily stopped selling entrance tickets to prevent the traffic from growing on Tuesday afternoon.Similar measures could be taken during the rest of the holidays,a police officer said.
    Emergency measures have been taken at other scenic sites.Crowded visitors overwhelmedthe capacity(承载量)of the cable cars at Huashan Mountain,in Shaanxi province,leaving tens of thousands stuck at the peak late into Tuesday night.According to China Central Television,restless visitors demanded refunds from the tourism committee,and a lot of visitors had to give up and walk down the mountain.
    Chen Li,deputy director of the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department,said on his micro blog that more than 300 policemen and government officials climbed up the mountain to help trapped visitors.Fearing that tourist sites might become too crowded,many people are staying at home,going shopping or making short suburban trips.A resident Mr.Wang in Nanchang,capital of Jiangxi,canceled long-distance travel plans after learning of heavy traffic on many highways during the first two days of the holidays.Instead,Wang,his wife and son went fishing in the suburbs before having a picnic.
