题目内容

  A weekend full of parties begins today. Almost everyone is expecting the excitement of going out and drinking with friends. Few are thinking of the dangers,that is,drunk driving. This is becoming a major problem on the campus.

  "I'm OK,and I can drive. " is often heard during parties. Many times people will not realize how much alcohol they have consumed and they don't realize how it may affect them. In fact,many of us have been in situations where we have got into a car driven by a person that has had several drinks. And several drinks may be enough to lead to impaired driving and can result in serious consequences.

  The words "Don't drink and drive!”have been spoken enough. However,I still don't think people would listen. In order to be over the legal limit of a blood al?cohol concentration of 0. 08,a man must have four drinks in one hour on an empty stomach. One might brush this off saying four drinks in one hour is excessive,but driving under the legal limit may put oneself and others in danger.

  One must seriously consider what one is doing while driving. When I first got my driving license,my father told me," A car is a weapon if used irresponsibly." Most people know someone who has been killed or seriously injured due to a drunk driver. Driving is dangerous when one is not in full control.

  Along with endangering the safety of oneself and others,if one is found driving drunk,major problems may follow. There is the possibility of higher insurance rates,loss of the license,jail sentence or community service.

  The consequences should prevent all people from driving drunk,but sadly this is not the case. People still choose to drive without full mental capacity. Part of this stems from a belief that we are above the rules set out for other people. People think that it will not happen to them. But the truth is that drinking and driving re?ally does affect people everywhere. And it needs to be taken seriously.

  I suggest that anyone driving over the weekend should choose not to drink at all,even though they may be under the legal limit of drinks. This weekend should be fun. With driving safety in mind,you should be confident that you will return to your campus without any problems.

1. This article may be intended for       .

   A. taxi drivers   B. young students

   C. bus drivers   D. cyclists

2. Which of the following is NOT the consequence one may face if caught driving drunk?

   A. Loss of the car. B. Higher insurance rates.

   C. Loss of the license. D. Jail sentence.

3. Despite the consequences,people still choose to drive drunk partly because they think         .

   A. they are much smarter than others

   B. they drink little enough

   C. their cars are very good

   D. they somehow are different

4. The underlined phrase "brush this off" (in Paragraph 3) is the closest in mean?ing to "      ".

   A. take it for granted   B. take it very seriously

   C. refuse to read   D. intend to follow

  While every dog owner knows their dogs can read their moods perfectly,scien?tists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna,Austria,we finally have some convincing evidence.

  For their study,biologist Corson Mill?er and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewar?ded for touching the screen when showing a happy face,while the other half given their treat for selec?ting those that appeared angry.

  Interestingly,the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That's because the sci?entists believe humans show their eruptions on their entire face.

  After some training on how to recognize small differ?ences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expres?sions* the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.

  They also found those being trained to read angry ex?pressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting,causing them to withdraw quickly. However,once the smart dogs realized they were getting the reward,the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact,the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" that scientists had a hard time keep?ing them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.

  The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touching screen models were all fe?males,this confirmed what had been observed in previous studies―dogs are more efficient at reading facial expres?sions of people that are the same gender as their owner.

18. How did the scientists conduct the experiment?

   A. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.

   B. By mixing the selected dogs together.

   C. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.

   D. By showing digital pictures of women's happy or angry faces.

19. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

   A. The dogs were all provided with the entire face.

   B. According to their size,the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.

   C. The dogs could read even small changes that ac?company facial expressions after some training.

   D. The dogs couldn't read strangers' facial emotions.

20. The underlined word " trepidation”in Paragraph 5 probably means "      ".

   A. horror   B. curiosity

   C. excitement   D. doubt

21. How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?

   A. They could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.

   B. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.

   C. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the en?tire face.

   D. They would be scared away at the sight of the pic?tures.

  One day,when I was working as a psychologist in England,an回,《回adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walk- JjHJJ&jf^, ing up and down restlessly,his face pale,and his hands shaking jgjv^jjgT slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to oth?ers,and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?"

  I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to,and which no words can de?scribe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.

  The first two times we met,David didn't say a word. He sat there,only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday after?noon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess,but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

  Usually,he arrived earlier than agreed,took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?

  "Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Per?haps he senses that I respect his suffering."Some months later,when we were pla?ying chess,he looked up at me suddenly. 

  "It's your turn," he said.

  After that day,David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bi?cycle club. He wrote to me a few times,about his biking with some friends,and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.

Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one―without any words―can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug,a shoulder to cry on,a friendly touch,and an ear that listens.

   A. felt a little excited   B. walked energetically

   A. wanted to ask the author for advice

   B. needed to share sorrow with the author

   C. liked the children's drawings in the office

   D. beat the author many times in the chess game

   A. He recovered after months of treatment.

   B. He liked biking before he lost his family.

   C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.
