题目内容

“Thank you” is the most under-appreciated and under-used phrase on the planet. It is appropriate in nearly any situation.1.Let’s cover some common situations where we say all sorts of things, but should say “thank you” instead.

1. When you are receiving praise.

We often ruin praise by acting overly humble(谦逊的). The problem is that by devaluing the praise, you don’t acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say something.2.

2. When you are running late.

It is stressful for the person who is running late and it is disrespectful to the person who is waiting. It might seem strange to thank someone for dealing with your late arrival, but that’s exactly the correct response. Most people stand in the door and say “Sorry, I’m late.”3. Saying “Thank you” turns the table and acknowledges the sacrifice the other person made by waiting.

3. When you’re comforting someone.

When someone comes to you with the bad news, it can be awkward. You want to be a good friend, but most people don’t know what to say. What we fail to realize is that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to say.4.

4. When you are receiving helpful feedback(反馈）.

Feedback can be very helpful, but we rarely see it that way. Whether it is an unflattering performance review from your boss or an e-mail from an unhappy customer, the standard reaction is to get defensive(防御性的). 5.

A. Thank them for what they did despite your error.

B. You can win the argument in the way you live your life.

C. Besides, it is a better response than most of the things we say.

D. All you really need is to be present and thank them for trusting you.

E. The problem is this response still makes the situation embarrassing.

F. Simply saying “Thank you” fully acknowledges the person who made the promise.

G. That’s a shame because the correct response is to say “Thank you” and use it to improve.

Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules． As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil（零）, many of these rules concern what you should and shouldn’t do to make your journey safer when you are in the air.

●Fly on non-stop routes

Most accidents occur during the take off, climb, descent and landing period of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complicated procedures.

●Choose larger aircraft

Although small aircrafts have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply（遵守）with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.

●Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing（简报）

The information may seem to be repeated, but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you have flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.

●Store things safely

Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during the violent movements of air caused by the wind.

●Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated

Cabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You could be seriously injured if the plane hits the violent movement of air unexpectedly. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.

●Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks

Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.

1.What is the general reason for these air safety rules?

A. What to do in the event of a crash.

B. How to avoid sudden change.

C. How to improve safety while you are flying.

D. How to avoid injury.

2.The underlined phrase "The general rule" in the fifth refers to .

A. anything the flight staff tell you to do

B. general safety advice

C. walking around the plane

D. pouring hot drinks

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.

B. Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landing.

C. Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.

D. Seat belts should be worn to protect against sudden change.

4.The best title should be .

A. The safest way to travel B. Air safety tips

C. Non-stop Routes D. How to take a plane

Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure under control, research suggests. Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.

The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.

Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.

Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said, "The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritious foods."

The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005. However, almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.

1.From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are ________.

A. a kind of protein B. a kind of food

C. a kind of medicine D. a kind of illness

2.According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs ________.

A. are the most nutritious food

B. can be included in a healthy diet

C. have no effect on blood cholesterol

D. are forbidden to be eaten in the UK

3.We can infer from the text that ________.

A. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases

B. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs

C. most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped

D. about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health

4.The text is meant ________.

A. to introduce a medicine made from eggs

B. to introduce scientific findings about eggs

C. to tell people how to lower their blood pressure

D. to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible

Mr. Jones said he was _________ the possibility of buying a new house because his older one _________ the tornado.

A. looking out; was hurt by B. looking into; was ruined by

C. looking in; destroyed in D. looking up; damaged in

__________ for the free tickets, I would not have gone to the films so often.

Dear Mr. Shyamalan,

According to the box office, congratulations are in order. It seems your new movie, Split, is doing gangbusters. That means millions of people all over the world have seen or will soon see your story about a man who is suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

As much as I'm rooting for you as an artist, Mr. Shyamalan, personally, I think you climbed to success on the overburdened backs of the mentally ill.

As a person who suffers from multiple(多面的)personalities, as well as a psychologist with professional knowledge and skills in the subject, I feel it is my duty to school you in a few facts: People who suffer from DID are not, generally speaking, scary or cheating. We are normal people who silently suffer from a painful condition in which our sense of who we are feels divided into broken parts. Our condition is often caused by a history of severe and repeated child abuse(虐待). In truth, we are victims(受害者) of unimaginable violence.

With the release of your movie, you have become my bully(恃强凌弱者). I am personally harmed by the absurd fixed image you use in Split. Your description of Kevin Crumb as one gender confused, cross-dressing multiple with a strong liking for violence has the same effect as shouting across the playground, “People with DID are dangerous nut jobs!”

I have lived for years with the shame created by movies such as yours. Despite being a successful doctor who runs a charity for adult survivors of child abuse, I live with constant anxiety that people will learn of my diagnosis(诊断). For no matter how long I’ve known someone or how highly they think of me, once they know I'm a multiple, the reaction is imaginable.

In the future, I’d appreciate it if you stopped using our pain and suffering as materials for your entertainment.

Michelle Stevens

C. His efforts were worthwhile． D. He got it in an immoral way．

3.Who is Kevin Crumb according to the text?

A. A friend of Mr. Shyamalan’s.

B. A character in Split.

C. A patient of Michelle Stevens’s.

D. A psychologist with multiple personalities.

4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To give the movie Split a review.

There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”. 1.I’d say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here’s why.

1. 2.

Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.

2. The world is waiting for your gift

I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting for YOU! Yes, YOU! 3.Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they’ll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don’t deprive the world of your gift. It’s the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use it to better your life and the lives of those around you.

3. 4.

You can dream about writing the great American play that you want, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. 5. They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it!

A. You can‘t let fear win.

B. Tomorrow is not promised.

C. In other words, dreams don’t work unless you do.

D. How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?

E. You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can copy.

F. Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you.

G. Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true.
