分析 本文是一篇广告布告类阅读．文章主要是从字典上摘下来的关于figure的一些用法．

解答 35-38 DBCA
35．D．细节理解题．根据"put a figure on sth．：to say the exact price or number of sth．"可知put a figure on sth用来表示确切的价格，而不是图画的意思．所以D选项是错误的．故选D．
36．B．推理判断题．根据"the human shape，considered from the point of view of being attractively thin：doing exercise to improve one's figure"可知此处表示要注意体重，努力不长胖．故选B．
37．C．推理判断题．根据"It/That figures！：That seems reasonable．"可知It figures意为：是这样．又根据"That's typical of her"可知此处回答是同意前者．故选C．
38．A．推理判断题．根据"figure of speech：a word or phrase used in a different way from its usual meanings in order to create a particular mental image or effect"可知只有A选项使用了修辞，A选项使用了比喻的修辞手法．故选A．

Before teaching here，I taught in another university，17miles down the freeway from where I live，so I had to drive to work．One day on my way to work，my car broke down．had to walk to the university．As soon as I got there，my best friend asked me what had happened．"This is my lucky day，"I replied．

9．Students who date in middle school have significantly worse study skills．They are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use as their single classmates，according to a new research from the University of Georgia．
"Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence，but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships，"said Pamela Orpinas，study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior．
Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade．Each year，the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors，including the use of drugs and alcohol．Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students'academic efforts．He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school，and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers．Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school．
"At all points in time，teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills，"according to the journal article．Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit being well organized，finishing homework，working hard and reading assigned chapters．
"Dating a classmate may have the same emotional effect of dating a co-worker，"Orpinas said，"When the couple break up，they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else．It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and distract attention from studying．"
"Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school，"Orpinas concluded．
