I work in a company in India which has branches in Germany and the UK，so I        take business trips to these places．We have a tradition at the company that anybody coming back to India from a foreign country gets      for all the other members of the company．Naturally the chocolates are finished in no time because everyone      them and tries to get as many as possible．
I        that the housekeeping staff members never had the chance to get even a single chocolate maybe because they were not as quick as others to take the chocolates．I felt it was        to them．
Recently, I came back to India from Munich and I had        a lot of chocolates for them．I met one of the housekeeping staff members called Babu．I gave him a packet of chocolates and told him to distribute(分发)them       in his department．His face lit up with joy and thanked me again and again，which made me very happy．
But the      didn’t end here．The best part of it was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates to        in the company equally instead of just distributing them among members in his        ．So it was so touching for me to see this.
I find it really hard to        why we，who have the money to buy chocolates and other goodies，do not feel like        but just think about how to get more．       ，Babu，who earns only just about enough to raise his family, was so generous and did not even        one extra chocolate for himself．I want to request all of us learn from Babu for being so      and caring!

The weight-loss world is full of assertions①, rarely proved, that some pill can help you “burn calories while you sleep.” But a recent Dutch study reports that it can be done – simply by eating more lean protein②.
Researchers report for the first time that consuming nearly a third of daily calories as lean protein – for example, lean meats without the skin – speeds up a person’s metabolism③ during sleep and that higher protein intake increases the burning of calories and fat during the day. Plus, when the study’s participants, who were all women of healthy weight, ate more protein, they felt fuller, more satisfied and less hungry than when they consumed a diet with the amount of protein, about 10 percent of calories.
The findings suggest that adding lean protein to your daily food “enables you to reach the same level of satiety④that you are used to with about 80 percent of your normal energy intake,” notes Margriet Westerterp-Plantenga. “That means you can eat about 20 percent less and still have the same satiety.”
What gives protein its caloric edge? It’s more difficult for the body to metabolize protein than either fat or carbohydrates⑤. The body also doesn’t store protein as efficiently as it does carbohydrates or fat. So protein is more likely to be burned and that in turn requires more oxygen and helps you feel satisfied in the hours after eating.
But the latest findings don’t mean it’s time to dust off those high-protein diet books. The current study limited fat to about 30 percent of daily calories, and included 40 percent of calories as healthy carbohydrates, including fruit and vegetables. For example, lunch included bread, soy milk, fruit yogurt, tuna in water, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese and salad dressing.
1. According the first paragraph, we know that ______.
A. there’re few studies on weight-loss in the world
B. many studies on weight-loss only cheat customers
C. only few studies are useful for weight-loss
D. there’re few studies about lean protein
2. According to the passage, lean protein can help burn calories while you sleep because ______.
A. it can slow down a person’s metabolism       B. it’s difficult for the body to metabolize
C. it will not make you feel full                D. it’s easy to be stored in the body
3. The underlined phrase “dust off” in the last paragraph means ______.
A. get rid of      B. put away      C. get ready to rewrite      D. get ready to reuse
4. The passage is mainly to tell readers ______.
A. there is a good diet for weight-losers
B. you can burn your calories in your sleep
C. high-protein diet books will be popular
D. choosing right food is of great use
A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels.
小题1:The passage is mainly about _________.
A．the high incidence of heart disease in some countries
B．the changes in people’s diet
C．the effect of fish eating on people’s health
D．the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
小题2:We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths ________.
A．in countries of the yellow-skin race
B．in highly-developed countries
C．in the countries with high consumption of fish
D．in the countries with good production of fish
小题3:The phrase “this relationship” in paragraph 6 refers to the connection between _________ and the level of heart disease.
A．the amount of fish eatenB．regular fish-eating
C．the kind of fish eatenD．people of different areas
小题4:From the passage we know the author is most probably ______.
A．a heart doctorB．a science researcher
C．a supporter of healthy eatingD．a university student
Does a drink a day keep heart attacks away? Over the past 20 years, numerous studies have found that moderate alcohol consumption, s ay, one or two beers, glasses of wine or cocktails daily helps to prevent coronary heart disease. Last week a report in the New England Journal of Medicine added strong new evidence in suport of that theory. More important, the work provided the first solid indiction of how alcohol works to protect the heart.In the study, researchers from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School compared the drinking habits of 340 men and women who had suffered recent heart attack with those of healthy people of the same age and sex. The scientists found that people who sip one to three drinks a day are about half as likely to suffer heart attacks as nondrinkers are. The apparent source of the protection: those who drank alcohol had higher blood levels of high?density lipoproteins, the so?called good cholesterol, which is known to prevent heart disease.
As evidence has mounted, some doctors have begun recommending a daily drink for patients of heart diseases. But most physicians are not ready to reommend a regular happy hour for everyone. The risks of teetotalling(绝对戒酒) are nothing compared with the dangers of too much alcohol, including high blood pressure, strokes and liver troubles—not to mention violent behaviour and traffic accidents. Moreover, some studies suggest that even  moderate drinking may increase the incidence of breast and colon cancer. Until there is evidence that the benefits of a daily dose of alcohol outweigh the risks, most people won’t be able to take a doctor’s prescription to the neighbourhood bar or liquor store.
1.The medical article quoted in the first paragraph indicates            .
the way in which alcohol can help the heart      
how a couple of cocktails daily can stop heart problems
why alcoholic drinks are dangerous to one’s health 
that reports on the advantages of alcohol were misled
2.Experiments showed that nondrinkers had .
A．larger amounts of good cholesterol
B．smaller amounts of good cholesterol
C．higher blood pressure
D．lower blood pressure
3.According to the passage, moderate drinking            .
is recommended by most doctors for heart patients    
should be allowed on prescription
is still not medically advisable                     
is not related to liver problems
4.The main theme of this passage is .
the change in recent drinking habits                
the connection between cancer and alcohol
whether moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkers       
whether alcohol may be good for one’s health
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s stare without being friendly, rude, or aggressive. If you are on a lift, what stare-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contacts. That is what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
　　If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They stare at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
　　60. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.
　　A. every glance has its significance
　　B. a glance carries more meaning than words
　　C. a stare longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
　　D. staring at a person is an expression of interest
　　61. If you want to be left alone on a lift the best thing to do is ______.
　　A. to look into another passenger’s eyes
　　B. to keep a distance from other passengers
　　C. to avoid eye contacts with other passengers
　　D. to signal you don’t mean to do harm to anyone
　　62. By “a dimming of the lights”, Erving Goffiman means ______.
　　A. closing one’s eyes 　　　　　　　　B. turning off the lights
　　C. stopping glancing at others 　　　　D. reducing stare-time to the minimum
　　63. The passage mainly discusses ______.
　　A. the limitations of eye contacts
　　B. the exchange of ideas through eye contacts
　　C. proper behavior in different situations in people’s daily life
　　D. the role of eye contacts in communication between people
One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire --- cracking, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.
I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork（交错）of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes（条纹）look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant’s stomach, the forest was silent.
Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into its mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant’s neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear.
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts（出没处）, a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.
小题1:Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?
A．The elephant stopped.
B．A spotted deer called.
C．The elephant seized a branch.
D．The forest was silent for a while.
小题2:The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by _______.
A．describing various sounds
B．comparing different animals
C．listing different activities
D．introducing various plants
小题3:What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean?
A．To see the diversity.
B．To enjoy the scenery.
C．To feel the atmosphere.
D．To experience the freedom.
小题4:How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?
A．Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.
B．It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.
C．It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.
D．The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.
Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力)  to enjoy life.  Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace.  Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.  Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the had days, if you could, and did, play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.
小题1:The author intends to tell us that____________.
A．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means
B．big houses are people's most valued possessions
C．big houses can in a sense bring richness of life
D．true happiness comes from spiritual riches
小题2:The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that__________.
A．however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied
B．however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor
C．though their house is big, they prefer a simple life
D．though their house is big, it seems to be a cage
小题3:It can be learned from the passage that __________.
A．more money brings more happiness
B．art is needed to make your house beautiful
C．literature can enrich your spiritual life
D．sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．House of LifeB．Secret of Wealth
C．Rest and RefreshmentD．Interest and Enthusiasm
I was at the post office early that morning, hoping to be in and out in a short while. Yet, I    myself standing in a queue that went all the way into the hallway.

A woman was coming across the lot in my    . She was walking with determination, and each step sounded very    . I noticed that she looked as if she could breathe fire. It stopped me in my tracks. Had I looked like that? Her body language said that she was having a      day. My anger melted away. I wished I could wrap her in a      but I was a stranger. So I did what I could in a minute    she hurried past me－I smiled. In a second everything changed. She was astonished, then somewhat    . Then her face softened and her shoulders    . I saw her take a deep breath. Her pace slowed and she smiled back at me as we passed each other.
I continued to smile all the way to my car. Wow, it’s amazing    a simple smile can do.
From then on, I became aware of people’s     and my own, the way we show our feelings. Now I use that    every day to let it      me that when facing the world, I can try a smile.

Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, serious man—not the sort of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager arriving in America, knowing nothing, I wanted a father who could explain the human journey. In college, when friends called home for advice, I would sink into deep depression for what I did not have.
　　Today, at twenty-seven, I have come to rediscover them in ways that my teenage mind would not allow—as adults and as friends with their own faults and weaknesses.
　　One night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. There was some trouble. Later, Dad shared the problem with me. Apparently my legal training had earned me some privileges in his eyes. I talked through the problem with Dad, analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies(策略).He listened patiently before finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I am a simple man.”
　Dad is a brilliant scientist who can deconstruct the building blocks of nature. Yet human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized that he was simply not skilled at dealing with people, much less the trouble of a conflicted teenager. It’s not in his nature to understand human desires.
　　And so, there it was—it was no one’s fault that my father held no interest in human lives while I placed great importance in them. We are at times born more sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreamy than our parents and become more curious and idealistic than them. Dad perhaps never expected me for a child. And I, who knew Dad as an intelligent man, had never understood that his intelligence did not cover all of my feelings.
　　It has saved me years of questioning and confusion. I now see my parents as people who have other relationships than just Father and Mother. I now overlook their many faults and weaknesses, which once annoyed me.
　　I now know my parents as friends: people who ask me for advice; people who need my support and understanding. And I have come to see my past clearer.
