1.Millions of people all over the world use the word OK.In fact,some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world.OK means all right or acceptable.It expresses agreement or approval.
(36)ESome people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw(乔克托语).The Choctaw word"okeh"means the same as the American word okay.Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century.
But many people doubt this.Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word"OK"in reports published in the 1960s.He said the word began being used in the 1830s.(37)FSome foreign-born people wrote"all correct"as"o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t",and used the letters OK.Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago.They said he put the first letters of his name---O and K---on each object people gave him to send on the train.
(38)BThe organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840.They called their group the OK club.The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook,New York.
Then there is the expression A-OK.It is a space-age expression.It was used in 1961during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard.He was the first American to be launched into space.His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean,as planned.Shepard reported,"Everything is A-OK."(39)GOne story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received.
There are also funny ways to say okay.(40)AThese expressions were first used in the 1930s.Today,a character on the American television series"The Simpsons"says it another way.
He says okely-doke.

A.Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke.
B.Still others say a political organization invented the word.
C.Therefore,it has become popular in that area from then on.
D.But many experts don't agree on what the expression means.
E.Still,language experts do not agree about where the word came from.
F.It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word"all correct".
G.However,some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.

分析 文章主要介绍了"OK"一词的来源,专家们对此持有不同的观点.比如,有的说来自于美洲印地安人,说的是一个组织创造了"OK"一词,有的说随着太空时代而出现的等.

解答 36-40EFBGA
36.E 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据下文Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw可知,这里说的是"OK"一词的出处,E项"然而,专家们对"OK"一词的来源持有不同的意见"符合语境,故选E.
37.F 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据下文some foreign-born people wrote"all correct"as"o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t"可知,另一种观点是"OK"是"all correct"的一种不同拼写方法,故选F.
38.B 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据下文The organization supported…They called their group the OK club.可知,这里说的是一个组织创造了"OK"一词,故选B.
39.G 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据本段中It is a space-age expression.可知,本段前一部分介绍的是"OK"一词是随着太空时代而出现的,而最后一句说"OK"一词最早是在电话被发明的初期开始使用的.本段讲了两种不同的观点,G项起到了承上启下的作用,故选G.
40.A 考查上下文理解判断能力.根据下文These expressions were first used in the 1930s中These expressions指代上句提到的短语,只有A项中提到了短语"okey-dokey"和"okey-doke",故选A.

点评 七选五题型看似简单,实际上有时完全作对并不容易,需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力,有必要进行专门练习.首先,快速浏览一遍七个备选答案,先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置.其次,快速浏览文章,确定文章体裁,抓住文章结构,分析篇章结构,找出各段的主题句或主旨大意.其三,注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段,寻找句中衔接标志词,七选五备选答案中有两个多余的选项,会对文章中两个空的选择构成干扰,这时要特别细致地比对相似选项.最后,用代入法,检查答案是否合理,将所有选择答案放回空白处,通读全文,检查文章内容是否语义连贯合理、紧扣主题,语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑,写作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用语是否恰当贴切,从而判断选择的答案是否正确.

●Remembering the golden rule
Without a doubt,the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated.When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship,you'll be blessed in untold ways.
You can't know what has gone on in the rude person's life that day,but you can assume that his or her day hasn't gone well.Maybe a loved one lost his job,her boss reprimanded her unjustly,he's coming down with the flu,or she just found out that her teenager is taking drugs.
Whatever the cause of the rudeness,you don't have to accentuate(突出) the problem.A kind word or a gentle,understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would.
●Considering foes as friends
A friend looks after your own good.On the other hand,a foe is someone who isn't interested in your well-being.
Yet some students view their teachers as enemies.However,a student's success in school partly depends on the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom.Instead of being an enemy,a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had.
This kind of thinking,along with a little attitude adjustment,helps you to convert foes to friends,and both of you are better off.
●Making friends by being an optimist
Do you enjoy being around a pessimist,someone who is generally described as being able to brighten up a room just by leaving it?The answer is obvious.Most people prefer to be around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today,rather than people who believe that today is even worse than yesterday.
●Capturing the pleasing personality
    How do you develop a pleasing personality?Here are some steps you can take:
Smile when you see someone.You don't have to give a wide grin-just a pleasant,friendly smile.
Speak in a pleasant,upbeat tone of voice.Talk to people as if they are good friends,even if they don't really fall into that category yet.
Take a course in public speaking.The ability to express yourself attracts favorable attention from many sources.
Develop a sense of humor.Pick up a couple of joke books.This makes you a little more outgoing and friendly.
●Don't criticize unjustly
Instead of being eager to dish out criticism all the time,take the humane and sensible approach.Look for the good in others.Encourage them.Build them up.
    Most people seldom think through each situation completely and consider the other person's point of view.If you take the time and effort to do this,you'll end up befriending more people.

13.Is Dieting Ok for Kids?
You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they're going on a diet.You might wonder if you should be on a diet,too.(36)CWhy?Let's find out.
Dieting to Lose Weight
(37)EWhen someone diets to lose weight,the person is trying to eat fewer calories than the body uses.By doing this,the person may lose body fat and decrease his or her weight.Likewise,if a person eats more calories than the body uses,the person may gain weight.
Kids usually do not need to diet in this way.(38)BDuring this time,kids need a variety of healthy foods to keep their bodies growing properly.Some kids are overweight,but even overweight kids often can improve their health simply by eating nutritious foods and being more active.
(39)GBut kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic,like skipping meals or deciding to eat only lettuce.
Who Needs to Diet?
Though some people may feel they weigh too much or too little,there is no perfect body shape.Some people have larger frames (bigger bones) and will always look bigger and heavier than people with smaller frames.
(40)FYour doctor can examine you and check your body mass index (身体质量指数).That's a way of estimating how much body fat you have.If the doctor is concerned about your weight,he or she can recommend a couple of goals:
for you to gain weight at a slower pace
for you to maintain your current weight
For some kids,the doctor may recommend losing some weight,but this should be done with the doctor's help.Kids who need to lose weight may visit with a dietitian who can explain how to reduce calories safely while still getting all the necessary nutrients.

A.It is important to form a good eating habit.
B.Unlike adults,kids are still growing and developing.
C.But most kids do not need to-and should not-diet this way.
D.Not eating properly can be very harmful to kids.
E.All foods and many drinks contains calories.
F.Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your weight.
G.Being overweight can cause health problems.
