12．One of my favorite things I like to watch is the bloopers （洋相） and outtakes（花絮） that are shown of mistakes made during the making of a movie．Most DVDs have a section of outtakes，and often they will set me off laughing，especially when you know what was supposed to happen．
We all make mistakes，and have many bloopers and outtakes in a lifetime．Some of them may be funny like movie bloopers，a stupid mistake and we are able to laugh at ourselves．Other outtakes in life，however，are not funny．I am referring to the tragic turns of events that happen in life that can turn our life in a moment．Accidents，disaster，the death of a loved one happen unexpectedly，and can greatly affect our lives．These are outtakes we would prefer not to happen or even replayed in our life．
Times of crisis and tragedy can not be prevented，but how you handle these outtakes will affect the rest of your life．There is always a choice in any crisis．We can choose to feel upset，but keep hopes and move forward，or choose to become stuck in the past．We cannot choose our circumstances，but we do have a choice how we respond to them．We can give in or overcome，and our choice will determine our future．When we drive a car our focus is the road ahead； if we spend all our time looking in the rearview mirror（后视镜） failure is more or less inevitable（不可避免的）!The same is true in life．We will fail，or at best remain at a standstill if we keep looking back and focusing on the events behind us，reliving the past．

29．The author mentions the outtakes of a movie in the first paragraph becauseA．

B．they are part of a movie

A．they are more funny      
B．they can be avoided
C．not all of them are funny

C．what we should learn from the outtakes in real life

2．That cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater．With opening night only a week away，I was still learning my lines．I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time．As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco．City life had become too much for me．
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold．I began running，both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers．Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets．
About a block from my apartment，I heard a sound behind me．I turned quickly，half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun．The street was empty．All I saw was a shining streetlight．Still，the noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster．Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been．It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk．
Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more．I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found．
Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me．When a voice called from the inside，"Alisa Camacho？"I thought I was dreaming．How could this man know my name？The door opened，and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes．"Is this what you're looking for？"he asked，holding up a small square shape．
It was nearly 3 a．m．by the time I got into bed．I wouldn't get much sleep that night，but I had got my wallet back．I also had got back some enjoyment of city life．I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other．

20．People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother's Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June．These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents．They raise their children and educate them to be responsible（有责任感的） citizens．They give love and care．These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers．More mothers now work outside the home．More fathers must help with child care．
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways．On Mother's Day people wear carnations．A red one symbolizes a living mother．A white one shows that the mother is dead．Many people attend religious services to honor parents．It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery（墓地）．On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants．They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day．These are days of fun and good feelings and memories．
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts．Children make them in school．Many people make their own presents．These are valued more than the ones bought in stores．It is not the value of the gift that is important，but it is"the thought that counts"．Greeting card stores，florists，candy makers，bakeries，telephone companies，and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays．

7．When it comes to food qualiy，do you get what you pay for？Not necessarily．
According to recent findings，price does have an effect on what we think of the quality of food，but it may not always truly show how good the food is．The study was carried out by researchers from Cornell University in the US and published in the Journal of Product & Brand Management．
The research team said that psychologists （心理学家） have long believed that an experience's strongest part （the peak （高峰） ） and last part （the end） decide what we think about the quality of that experience．
For their study，lead researcher David Just，PhD，and his colleagues decided to test whether this idea changes depending on how much we pay for an experience．In this case （情况），the experience was eating at a restaurant．
The researchers invited 139people to an all-you-can-eat Italian restaurant．The ubjects were put in two groups：the people in one group were charged 4（26yuan）fortheirmeals，whiletheotherswerecharged8．
After eating，everyone was asked to rate （评价） the taste，enjoyment and satisfaction of each slice （切片） of pizza they ate，then rate the overall （全部的） experience．
The team found that when it came to overall enjoyment and taste of the pizza for subjects who paid 4fortheirmeal，thepeak-endideawastrue；theyratedtheoverallexperiencebasedonthepeakratingoftasteandthelastslicetheyate．Theparticipants（参与者）whopaid8for their meal，however，rated their overall experience based only on what they thought of the first slice of pizza they ate．
The team said their findings suggested that other things can change what you pay attention to in judging quality．This study，for example，found that how we judge a meal may be greatly affected by the price we pay for it．
"It is really incredible  how simply increasing the price can lead one to focus so much less on the end experience and so much more on the first impression，"Just told Medical News Today．
He also said that restaurants could use these results to improve their prformance：businesses charging high prices could do better if they gave their customers the best experience first，while lower-priced business may be better off saving the best for last．

28．We can conclude from the research mentioned in the article thatB．
A．lower prices for fod always mean a better experience for customers
B．how much people pay for their food could change their judgment of their eating    experience
C．people tend to decide the quality of their food based on the way it first tastes
D．asking people to pay more for their food could improve their eating experience
29．The underlined word"incredible"in the second to last paragraph probably meansC．
A．doubtful     B．expected         C．surprising     D．impossible
30．According to the study，first-class restaurants can improve their performance byD．
A．charging their customers less for the food
B．saving the best dishes for the last
C．following strict standards to improve the quality of their food
D．presenting their best food to customers first．
17．3 habits of remarkably charming people

　　（37）D：They build and maintain great relationships，consistently influencing the people around them positively．They're the kind of people we all want to be around and want to be．Fortunately we can，because being remarkably charming isn't about our level of Success or our presentation skills or how we dress or the image we project-it's about what we do．Here are the 3 habits of remarkably charming people：

　　They choose their words．
　　For example，you don't have to go to a meeting； you get to go meet with other people．You don't have to create a presentation for a new client； you get to share cool stuff with other people．You don't have to go to the gym；（40）CYou don't have to interview job candidates； you get to select a great person to join your team．
