17．My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local store．I don't think many people appreciate what a difficult job these clerks have．They work for a little money and I often wonder how they make ends meet．
One of the clerks，Charlie，was always wearing his glasses but he didn't one day．I asked him about it and he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair．His family needed money．It was clear that he was having a difficult time．
We wanted to help him，so we turned to our own eye doctor for help with a plan．We had his secretary contact him，asking him to come in for an eye exam for free．We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them．Although Charlie questioned what was going on，the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses．When we went in to pay the bill，the doctor told us he was touched by our idea so that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about．I'm sure that upon hearing his story，ideas of kindness may have come in the minds of many people．

16．The guy who tried to edit English
The English vocabulary is not only huge，it's also full of words that mean practically tile same thing．Get，obtain，acquire．Shine，gleam，glow，sparkle．（36）A
That was the thinking of a British writer named C．K．Ogden，who in the 1930s proposed （提议） a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850words．He called the project Basic English．（37）F
Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation，rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied．The words be finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete．（38）D Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of"operators"---words like come，go，get，take，have，make，be，and do---Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary．In Basic English，eat is"have a meal．"Forget is"go from memory．"
Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English，and he encouraged the BBC to use it．（39）ERoosevelt，who expressed mild interest，joked that Churchill's famous speech about offering his"blood，toil，tears，and sweat"to his country wouldn't have been so exciting if he"had been able to offer the British people only blood，work，eye water，and face water，which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words．"
（40）CChurchill didn't use it either．When seeking to express ourselves，we don't necessarily need fewer words； we need the right words．So it's to our benefit to have a large supply on hand．

A．Do we really need them all？
B．How many words are there in English？
C．Ogden himself didn't actually use Basic English．
D，Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all．
E．He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it．
F．He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn．
G．Despite attention from world leaders，Basic English never got very far off the drawing board．

    Mistakes are common in our life．But attitudes on them may make a difference．
I still remember how my spoken English improved．At the beginning，I always kept
silently in the oral class to avoid to making mistakes．Before long my teacher knew
about my situation．He encouraged me to speak out that I wanted to speak．Whenever I
made mistakes and felt discouraging，my teacher and classmates will help me find out
how I could avoid it in the future．Practice makes perfect．With time went by，I built up  my confidences，and now I can talk fluently in English．Just as sa ying goes，mistakes are where success lies．We just need to learn a lesson from the mistakes．

14．Could smells affect your lifespan？Female fruit flies（果蝇） without the ability to smell food live longer than other fruit flies．The sense of smell may be connected to the cellular ageing （细胞老化） process in many other living things-even people．Such connection has recently been found in both worms and flies．For example，scientists found that removing fruit flies'ability to smell made them live nearly 20percent longer than flies with a sense of smell．
They confirmed that food smells were the ones most likely to affect ageing，as nutrition and lifespan are known to be connected in many living things．To test the idea that food smells affect lifespan，they removed flies'ability to smell carbon dioxide，which is produced by some fly foods．They left the rest of the smelling system intact．
This action had no effect on male flies，but the females lived 30percent longer than normal．Removing the ability to smell CO₂ may stop flies getting information about food availability．This could mean that food is not enough，causing processes that encourage flies to survive．Scientists found that the female flies stored extra fat and that both males and females immune（免疫） to CO₂were stronger against the stress than normal flies．It is suggested that females may simply be easily influenced by the smells of CO₂．
Scientists point out that people don't know whether ageing and smell are connected in animals and humans．But they clearly experience physical changes after smelling food．

21．From the passage，we learn that what scientists found is toC
A．show there is the best way to make lifespan longer
B．tell us we should remove our smell ability to live long
C．show the sense of smell can affect the cellular ageing process
D．explain fruit flies without ability to smell can live longer
22．Scientists do some researches to proveD
A．the immune system of flies to CO₂
B．the connections between nutrition and lifespan
C．the importance of food smells to our humans
D．the connections between food smells and lifespan
23．According to scientists'opinion，we can see thatB
A．male flies in general can live longer than female ones
B．flies without ability to smell is encouraged to store extra energy
C．both male and female flies can live longer without the ability to smell
D．flies without ability to smell can also get information about food availability
24．Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole？B
A．CO₂ has few effects on female flies．
B．The sense of smell might have an effect on living things．
C．The sense of smell is necessary to humans'health．
D．Female fruit flies can always live longer than male flies．

13．People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders，according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee．
Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning （断奶） in either"summer"light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or"winter"cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark．A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day．
Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle，while half switched to a summer schedule．The summer mice were similarly split．The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups，one of which stayed on the 12hour schedule，one of which joined the winter group，and one of which joined the summer group．
After 28 days，it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter．But among the winterborn mice，those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule，while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half，which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks．
The finding is the first of its kind in mammals，and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression，schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder．
"We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans，"said study researcher McMahon．"If the mechanism （机制） similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans，the n it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders，but also have a more general effect on personality．"
32．How many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment？
A
A．Seven．B．Six．C．Five．D．Four．
33．What's the main idea of the text？D
A．The biological clock regulates mood in humans．

10．I have always really loved receiving my monthly pocket money form my dad．After getting the money I would be very excited and would rush off to my friend's place where after much consideration we would decide what to do with it and where to spend it．Mostly it would go for the ice cream treats（请客；款待）．Girls will manage to find some way of budgeting so the money we save can be used for other purposes．
I think that the best way to enjoy your pocket money would be to enjoy those treats．Since just pocket money would be not enough，many girls are doing a part time job of some so that a larger amount of money can be collected．The best use of pocket money is to spend it in such a way that it involves lots of fun with your closest friends．Those treats are no fun if done alone．Company，especially good company can work wonders for providing you the best relaxation that you need．It is also best to spend your pocket money on things that otherwise parents end up refusing．When you use your pocket money to get this sense of achievement，you will just feel so crazily happy．
I remember the time when a friend and I were just so tired of our everyday monotonous  life that we decided to go out，have some great food and then head out to the beach and have those lovely grape and mango ice-creams．And we did exactly that．That day has just been one of the most refreshing days of my life．I think the true meaning of pocket money is to be able to maximize（最大化） your fun at a minimal（最小化） cost!
