2．Imagine shopping in another country and spotting a beautiful scarf．The salesperson tells you the price，（32）but it's more than you want to buy．What do you do？
The answer depends largely on what part of the world you are in．Are you visiting Southeast Asia，the Middle East，Latin America or Africa？In these places，prices often are not set in stone．In fact，customers （33）are expected（expect） to bargain before agreeing to a price．
On the other hand，in North America，Europe and Australia，bargaining is rare and often not allowed．The price （34）listed（list） on a price tag cannot be changed．
Large stores and malls usually don't allow bargaining．On the other hand，outdoor stalls and flea markets，even in Western countries，usually allow bargaining．When in doubt，consult a guidebook---or （35）better（good） yet，a local friend．
（36）Although/Though/Whilebargaining custom vary，a few rules of etiquette apply in most cultures．First，avoid wasting people's time．If you don't intend to make a purchase，don't start bargaining．While bargaining，it is OK to walk away．But once you agree to a price，you （37）must buy the item．
Even in countries （38）that/which don't allow bargaining，you may find plentiful opportunities to save money．Many stores sell old items on clearance．Others offer discount cards to regular customers．Some of these can function as credit cards （39）within/in the store，and a few can even be used elsewhere．
（40）Wherever you go，understanding local customs can help you find good prices．

It was the Christmas．I saw a 7or 8year old boy wearing a man's overcoat what covered him from neck to toe．The sleeves of the coat cut short causally to match the boy's arm long．I went to the nearby shop．As I had a son of a same age，I knew the size．A few moments later，I bought a nice pair of trousers，with a matching overcoat．Wearing Santa's hat，I went back and give the new clothes to her．The unexpected joy on his face thrilled me．Unplanned charity brings a strangely sense of contentment that money can ever buy．

16．She was a very capable student．She did not have a single day of absence last year； all the teachers knew this and encouraged her many times in front of others．
Kids used to say，"She must have a strong body and that's why she never gets sick．What are we supposed to do when we constantly get sick？"They did not know that Yassi had type two Diabetes and sometimes became unconscious．
One early morning when her sugar level dropped and her mum wanted to take her to the doctor，she said，"The doctor doesn't know how to teach me Geometry （几何学）!The most he will do is to give me an IV drip （输液） to make me feel better．By the way，Mr．Mirsadeghi had mentioned that people with the highest score in the year of their university entrance examination only had one day of absence； I don't want to use my only day off for something stupid!"
When teachers used to ask Yassi，"Do you feel bad when you get a low grade？"Yassi would reply，"Is it possible to be happy when a person works hard and does not get a good result？At these times I tell myself，in the future when I open the biggest factory in Iran，if I'm going to fall short with handling such minor issues，how am I supposed to deal with all the other problems such as consumer market rejection of my products？!How can I solve the production difficulties of this product？"
Yassi is a living example of a person with a vision for a grand future，who does not allow minor problems of today to deter her from achieving her dreams．
On a regular day when I met with Yassi，I noticed she was not like her usual self as she looked troubled．So I asked her"Has something happened？"to which she replied"No"，but I said，"I think something has definitely happened．"Yassi then said，"I have a small personal problem that will soon be resolved．"
After insisting for some time to find out her problem，she only then told me that her father was unconscious．Just before tears rushed to her eyes as she went out of the room，I felt that I lost some credibility as a considerate teacher．
Yassi returned to the room after freshening up，clearing her throat and then said in a strange manner，"Please don't be concerned，Mr．Mirsadeghi，if it is meant to be he will remain in my life and I will make him proud with my grades．And should it be God's will to take him，then I have to work twice as hard to achieve the highest grades and shine brighter than those of my age!"

Anyone watching the autumn sky knows that migrating birds fly in a V formation，but scientists have long debated why．A new study finds that these big-winged birds carefully position their wingtips and flap （拍动） at the same rate，probably to catch the upward movement of air and save energy during flight．
There are two reasons birds might fly in a V formation：It may make flight easier，or they're simply following the leader．Squadrons （中队） of planes can save fuel by flying in a V formation，and many scientists suspect that migrating birds do the same．Models that treated flapping birds like fixed-wing airplanes show that they probably save energy by drafting off each other，but currents created by airplanes are far more stable than those coming off of birds．
Just as aerodynamic （气动力） calculations would predict，the birds positioned themselves to fly just behind and to the side of the bird in front，timing their wing flaps to catch the uplifting eddies （涡流）．When a bird flew directly behind another，the timing of the flapping reversed （相反） so that it could minimize the effects of the downdraft coming off the back of the bird's body．"We didn't think this was possible，"Usherwood says，considering that the difficult achievement requires careful flight and incredible awareness of one's neighbors．"Perhaps these big V formation birds can be thought of quite like an airplane with wings that go up and down．"
The findings likely apply to other long-winged birds，such as pelicans and geese，Usherwood says．Smaller birds create more complex wakes （尾波） that would make drafting too difficult．The researchers did not attempt to calculate the birds'energy savings because the necessary physiological measurements would be too invasive for an endangered species．Previous studies show that birds can use 20% to 30% less energy while flying in a V．
Scientists do not know how the birds find that aerodynamic sweet spot，but they suspect that the animals line themselves up either by sight or by sensing air currents through their feathers．In future studies，the researchers will switch to more common birds，such as pigeons or geese．They plan to investigate how the animals decide who sets the course and the pace，and whether a mistake made by the leader can ripple through the rest of the flock to cause traffic jams．
59．The author takes squadrons of planes for example to showA．
A．birds may save energy by flying in a V formation
B．birds fly in a V formation for many more reasons
C．planes flying in a V formation follow the leader
D．planes flying in a V formation are more economical
60．Why did Usherwood think it impossible for a bird to fly directly behind another？D
A．Because birds differ from airplanes in wings．
B．Because birds know nothing about aerodynamics．
C．Because birds could hardly create stable currents as planes．
D．Because birds have to overcome great difficulties when flying．
61．What is the scientists'attitude towards the findings mentioned in the passage？A
A．Cautious．
B．Contradictory．
C．Confident．
D．Critical．
62．What would the researchers do in their future studies about the birds？D
A．Calculate the birds'energy savings．
B．Apply the findings to smaller birds．
C．Find how the birds line themselves up．
D．Do research on more common birds．
