9．Fashion has always bee about change----creating a reason for the customers to buy something new．The next 30years of the sale will be all about the customer's interests．And it will be up to traders to keep up with their every desire（需求）．"The easiest thing to say is，it will be different，"says Nordstrom，president of one of America's oldest department stores．"There still will be customers who desire a fresh new product．What that product is，how we satisfy the customers， that's open．
In many ways，this"different"world that Nordstrom describes has already existed in stores across the USA，with technology as the driving force．Think digital（数字的）fitting rooms，where technology simulates（模拟）body type and gives shoppers a sense of how a coat might look or fit．Or 3-D printers that allow shoppers to make products in their own homes．Even smartphone technology is being developed to let traders get a shopper's personal data to learn about their tastes and interests．
Stores will still have a presence，but mainly just to let customers have a sensory experience-touching and feeling items they can buy from far away and having them shipped．Where customers shop，increasingly，won't matter．A person could shop from home，from a car or even on the subway．
Intel has designed a mirror that shows shoppers how clothes look on them---avoiding the inconvenience of a fitting room．When the shopper of the future is ready to check out，a cellphone will do．"The cash registers（收银机）of today won't exist anymore，"Nordstrom says．"We see the future of point of sale as completely mobile，but don't expect stores filled with robots rather than salesmen．"

6．The singer represented（代表）our community to give a performance yesterday．

13．Cell phones：Is there a cancer link？
Could your cell phone give you cancer？Whether it could or not，some people are worrying about the possibility that phones，power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes to brain tumors．
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany，in New York，thinks there's a greater than 95percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia （白血病）．Also there's a greater than 90percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors．"It's apparent now that there's a real risk，"said Carpenter．
But others believe these concerns are not justified．Dr Martha Linet，head of radiation epidemiology （流行病学） at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．"I don't support warning labels for cell phones，"said Linet．"We don't have the evidence that there's much danger．"
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs （电磁场） and illness-so weak that it might not exist at all．A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer，in 13countries outside the US，has been underway for several years．It's funded in part by the European Union，in part by a cell phone industry group．The final report should come out later this year，but data so far don't suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk．

42．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried becauseC．
A．they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancer
B．they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone use
C．some experts have given a warning

A．the worrying is unnecessary
B．cancer-warning labels should be on cell phones
C．there is a link between cell phones and cancer
D．cell phones have nothing to do with cancer

3．In most parts of the world，as far back as anyone can remember，there has been a puppet（木偶）tradition．Although some of us think of puppets as children's entertainment，they were----and often still are used to tell serious stories to adult audiences．Even in these days of special effects，the puppet theatre still has a special place in many cultures．
The best known puppet characters in Britain are Punch and Judy，glove puppets with wooden heads．In summer，one basic play of about half an hour is performed on beaches all around Britain．
Mr．Punch，who has an enormous nose and wears a curved hat，gets into trouble and has arguments with his wife，Judy．A policeman，a crocodile，and a hangman，and all of them run after Mr．Punch．
He，of course，invariably manages to survive to fight another day．
In Belgium wooden puppets first appeared in the 1820s in cities like liege．The liege puppets are in fact string puppets without strings！They have a single rod（棒）attached to their heads，which means the puppeteers aren't able to raise the arms and legs，but can move the body up and down and the head from side to side．Many of the stories used to be historical or religious but it is Tchantches，a comic character wit patched trousers and a big black hat，who is the best loved character today．Like Mr．Punch，he is a simple man who is also greedy，quarrelsome and lazy．He makes fun of everyone，but is often warm--hearted and tender．

10．Our education system was invented．There were no public systems of education before the 19^th century．They all came into being to meet the needs of industrialism．So the most useful subjects for work are at the top and you were probably driven away from what you did as a kid at school--things you liked--because you would never get a job doing that．Is that right？Don't do music．You're not going to be a musician．Don't do art．You're not going to be an artist．In addition，the whole system of public education around the world is a process of university entrance．And the consequence is that many highly talented，brilliant，creative people think they're not because the thing they were good at wasn't valued at school．
I think we can't afford to go on that way．In the next 30years，more people worldwide will be graduating through education than since the beginning of the history．Suddenly，degrees aren't worth anything．When I was a student，if you had a degree，you had a job．But now you need a Master's degree where the previous job required a Bachelor，and now you need a Ph．D．for the other．It's a process of academic inflation （膨胀），and it indicates the whole structure of education needs changing．
All the great teachers I've ever met and worked with are people who can inspire interest and curiosity and light up people's imaginations with the interests they themselves have for a particular field of work．I mean，teaching is not only a process of giving people direct instructions and information they have to memorize，it is much more than that．
I believe our only hope for the future is to rethink the fundamental principles on which we are educating our children．And our task is to educate their whole being so they can face the future．By the way，we may not see this future，but they will．And our job is to help them make something of it．

A．be imaginative

7．I love sleeping．It's something I'm good at．There's nothing better than nodding off on the sofa in front of the TV and when my head hits the pillow at night，I have no problem falling into a deep sleep within minutes．There is one place where I never nap（打盹）and that's at work-but new research suggests I should!
The idea of you and your colleagues heading off for a lie down in the afternoon may seem strange，but some companies such as Google and Facebook actually encourage it．
Because it's thought that a power-nap makes them more refreshed and more focused，and this in turn makes them more productive．
An Australian health writer called Victoria is a founder of a campaign called Nap Now which is trying to make sleeping at work more acceptable．She calls herself a"naptivist"!She says："I think that our culture is a bit crazy not to accept it…it's time to end the common work principle which is all about working longer and harder．"
So should we all be taking a sleeping bag and pillow to work with us？A few years ago，research by the East of England Development Agency found 30% of people have their best ideas in bed compared to just 11% who have them at their desk．That suggests people are more creative when they are relaxed-and the agency has called for companies to put beds in the workplace．
A nap in the afternoon is nothing new．In certain hot countries，such as Spain，a short rest or sleep in the afternoon-called a siesta-is perfectly normal．So maybe we should break from the traditional nine-to-five work culture and take up the siesta．The UK's Sleep Council claims that the nine-to-five working day does not fit into the natural sleeping pattern of the human race and says that bosses need to introduce a more sleep-friendly working day．
59．Why are the employees of Google allowed to take a nap in the afternoon in the workplace？A
A．They are expected to work better．
B．They can't focus their attention on the work．
C．They are running the Nap Now campaign．
D．They have difficulty in falling asleep at night．
60．The underlined word"naptivist"in Paragraph 3probably refers to someone whoB．
A．takes no nap at work
B．enjoys napping at work
C．studies sleeping at work
D．fights against working long hours．
61．According to the passage，what can we learn about siesta？D
A．It is a newly practical pattern．
B．It has been taken up in Finland．
C．It is sort of traditional work culture．
D．It fits into the natural sleeping pattern．
62．What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage？D
A．To explain how to nap at work．
B．To show how the new study was carried out．
C．To tell us the importance of sleeping at work．
D．To call for the more sleep-friendly work culture．
