10．In ancient Egypt，a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment．Modern businesses have been following his lead，with more tactics（策略）．
One tactic involves where to display the goods．For example，stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section．They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they
will buy more junk food later in their trip．In department stores，section is generally next to the women's cosmetics（化妆品） section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe，bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later．
Besides，businesses seek to appeal to customers'senses．Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping，they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day．Music sells goods，too．Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played，sales of French wine went up．
When it comes to the selling of houses，businesses also use highly rewarding tactics．They find that customers make decisions in the first few second upon walking in the door，and turn it into a business opportunity．A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly．When entering the house，the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows，and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level．The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses．

28．Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section？C

B．Displaying British wines next to French ones．
C．Inviting customers to play music．
D．Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread．
30．What is the California builder's story intended to prove？D
A．The house structure is a key factor customers consider．
B．The more costly the house is，the better it sells．
C．An ocean view is much to the customers'taste．

14．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．
Many people complain about not having enough time to exercise．I think they are lying to themselves．The real problem is that they hate exercising．（36）CGoing to the gym seemed dull and painful compared to most other ways I could spend my time．But by not giving up and looking for a way I could enjoy working out，I changed this pattern．Here are some tips to make exercise something you actually want to do；
（37）A Remove the thinking element．If you can make exercise a habit，then it becomes that much easier to go．
Get a partner．（38）FPick someone who cares about their health．Not only can you social-ize with someone while you're there，but you'll have a backup in case your motivation alone isn't enough to drag yourself out there．
Experiment．Don't stick with the same routine．（39）DThere are many different exercise routines you can follow or activities to try．If you don't like lifting weights，you can try running or dancing．
Make time．You can't say you don't have time to exercise．Exercise improves your energy levels and mood which makes you more productive than any time lout．（40）G Get up a bit earlier and go in the morning．Or schedule it right after work before you settle down for the day．Once you make lime and make it a habit，you'll actually want to exercise instead of just feeling you should．

A．Make it a habit．
B．Record improvements
C．I used to hate exercising too．
D．Mix it up and try different activities．

4．Learning a foreign language changes the way we see the world，according to new research．
Panos Athanasopoulos，of Newcastle University，has found that bilingual speakers think differently to those who only use one language．
Working with both Japanese and English speakers，he looked at their language use，along with the length of time they had been in the country，and matched this against how they perceived（感知） the colour blue．
Previous research has shown that colour perception is an ideal way of testing bilingual concepts because there is a huge variation between where different languages place boundaries on the colour spectrum（色谱）．
In Japanese，for example，there are additional basic terms for light blue（mizuiro） and blue（ao），which are not found in English．
"We found that people who only speak Japanese distinguished more between light and dark blue than English speakers，"said Dr Athanasopoulos．"The degree to which Japanese-English bilinguals resembled either type depended on which of their two languages they used more frequently．"
Most people tend to focus on how to do things such as ordering food or using public transport when they learn another language to help them get by，but this research has shown that there is a much deeper connection going on．
"As well as learning vocabulary and grammar you're also unconsciously learning a new way of seeing the world，"said Dr Athanasopoulos．"There's a close link between language and culture．If you're learning language in a classroom you are trying to achieve something specific，but when you're immersed（沉浸）in the culture and speaking it，you're thinking in a completely different way．"

32．What can we learn about bilingual speakers？D
A．They live abroad．
B．They speak Japanese．
C．They speak English．
D．They can use two languages．
33．The terms for light blue and dark blue are not found in English mainly becauseC．
A．English speakers don't like the color blue
B．English speakers can hardly perceive the color blue
C．the two colours make little difference to English speakers
D．the two colours are not so important to English speakers
34．What does the underlined part"a much deeper connection''in Paragraph 6 refer to？A
A．A new culture．
B．Vocabulary and grammar．
C．Learning language in a classroom．
D．A new way to learn another language
35．The conclusion of the new research is that foreign language learning makes a personA．
A．see the world in a different way
B．1earn a language in a different way
C．pay more attention to culture
D．perceive colours differently．
11．第二节
If you want to improve your life，sooner or later you need to step out of your comfort zone．Here are some helpful ideas．
Face your fears．What holds us back in our zone of comfort is often a fear．（36）G
Fill your mind with positive memories．（37）F  Think back to the previous times when you have broken out of your comfort zone．Focus on the positive memories，when you got out there，when you took a chance．And it wasn't so bad．It was actually fun and exciting．
（38）B  One common way to move out of comfort zone is to do something new．But a more interesting choice might be doing something strange．When you choose something new you may choose something that is in line with your character．（39）D  Instead，choose something that's out of character for you．Something that the people close to you wouldn't think that you would do．
（40）A  Probably this is the most popular way to get yourself out of comfort zone．If you have decided to start going to the gym，it might be easier to actually get going and keeping going there every week if you have a gym-partner．

A．Take a friend with you．
B．Try something unusual．
C．Use your previous experiences．
D．So your experiences can become limited．
E．This can overcome quite a bit of your fear．
F．Realize it can be fun to get out of your comfort zone．
G．Facing it straight allows us to stretch the comfort zone slowly．
8．A popular saying goes，"Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me．"However，that's not really true．Words have the power to build us up or tear us down．It doesn't matter if the words come from someone's else or ourselves---the positive and negative effects are just as lasting．
We all talk to ourselves sometimes．We're usually too embarrassed to admit it，though．In fact，we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit．
This"self-talk"helps us motivate ourselves，remember things，solve problems，and calm Our-
selves down．Be aware，though，that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative．So in order to stay positive，we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves．We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back．The next time you finish a project，do well in a test，or finally clean your room，join me in saying"Good job!"
    Often，words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have．But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others．For example，when returning an item to a store，we might use warm，friendly language during the exchange．And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner．Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive．
Words possess power because of their lasting effect．Many of us regret something we once said．And we remember unkind words said to us!Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves：Is it loving？Is it needed？If what we want to say doesn't pass this test，then it's better left unsaid．
Words possess power both positive and negative．Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively．We can offer hope，build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best．Negative words destroy all those things．Will we use our words to hurt or to heal？The choice is ours．

28．The main idea of the first paragraph is thatD．
A．not sticks and stones but words will hurt us．
B．inspiring words give us confidence
C．negative words may let us down               
D．words have a lasting effect on us

A．almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves

30．The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timelyA 
A．praise ourselves                    
B．remind ourselves    
C．make ourselves relaxed              
D．give ourselves amusement
31．The author would probably hold the view thatD 
A．encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
B．negative words may stimulate us to make more progress
C．people tend to remember friendly words
D．it is better to think twice before talking to others．
