12．（16）BWhen a starving man gets a meal，he begins to think about an overcoat； when an executive gets a new sports car，visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view．
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels．（17）C．
The first and most basic level of wants involves food．Once this want is satisfied，a second level of wants appears：clothing and some sort of shelter．By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans．（18）AIt included such items as automobile sand new houses．By 1957or 1958this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied．Then，in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared：the"life-enriching"level．While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding，comfort，safety，and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition，achievement and happiness．It includes a variety of goods and services，many of which could be called"luxury"items．Among them are vacation trips，the best medical care，and entertainment．（19）FOn this level，a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services，while on the first three levels more is spent on goods．Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases，or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level？
A fifth level probably would involve wans that can be achieved best by community action．Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease，ignorance，crime and prejudice．（20）EIn this way，we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels．

A．Then a third level appeared．
B．Human wants seem endless．
C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants，another level appears．
D．There are several levels of wants in one's life．
E．At this stage，we now may seek to ensure the health，safety，and leisure．
F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing．
G．Different people have different wants on each level．

8．Hongbao，a red envelope with small amounts of money in，is a gift that is guaranteed to be warmly received，not only because of the cash，（61）but （also）because of its （62）traditional（tradition） symbolism and best wishes for the future．This is true throughout China，but especially in the south（63）where people regard receiving hongbao （64）as an auspicious（吉祥的） beginning to the New Year．
The legend says that a devil（恶魔） used to appear to harm children and the elderly．But loud noise would frighten （65）the devil away，as did the color red．Firecrackers（鞭炮） took care of the noise and during Spring Festival couplets（对联） also helped keep him away．But firecrackers couldn't go off all day so children and the elderly also got red envelopes（66）containing（contain） money．
The tradition （67）has survived（survive） 1000years and giving Hongbao to children and the elderly remains popular （68）among/withChinese people all over the world．It has also made its way into workplaces where bosses often give（69）employees（employ） Hongbao and most recently，companies have adopted online marketing strategies where Hongbao is distributed，hoping （70）their （they）companies and staff members have a good start．
Giving Hongbao at the beginning of the Lunar New Year indicates best wishes for the future．

7．"Any fool can criticize，condemn（谴责），and complain but it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving．"--Dale Carnegie
If we really want to be happy，why do we act like such babies？
We can claim to be proactive（主动的） in our life by setting goals and going after what we want．But if we're always complaining all the time，are we really living effectively？（36）E Whether it is being stuck in traffic，being bothered by the weather，not enough mustard on your sandwich，or whatever it is，there are endless instances where you can find a reason to complain．
But it's not just outside circumstances that we complain about．（37）A We complain that we don't have enough time，we don't have enough money（this one is huge because it's often"true"），that we're not smart enough，cool enough，or just enough．
（38）G I never really thought about it much until I found this website about"Living in a complaint-free world"．
Imagine how much happier you would be if you simply stopped complaining？Much of what you complain about is outside of your control anyway．What's the point of thinking about something you have no power to change？（39）C
Simply becoming conscious of how much you complain is the first step to stopping．When you recognize that you're complaining，stop and take notice of it．Ask yourself if you would rather complain，or be happy．
（40）D
A．We complain about ourselves too．
B．Why can't we complain about things around us？
C．Not very intelligent，if you ask me
D．Are you ready to live a complaint-free，happier life？
E．If you don't believe me，count how many times you complain in one day．
F．What you're complaining about may make you quite unhappy．
G．I've experienced lots of unpleasantness for complaining about things I can't control．

6．You know how wonderful you are，and you know that others know how wonderful you are，but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy？For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship．When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but the good news is that there is．Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships．Deal with it confidently and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think．
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that．Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited（自负的），just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you．If they refuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling．Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well．
When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what （s）he thinks would make the situation better．If，for example，（s）he says that （s）he feels like （s）he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you．Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise．Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy．Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out．
Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy．This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies．Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise．If you can't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't．

5．Most people agree that honesty is a good thing．But does Mother Nature agree？Animals can't talk，but can they lie in other ways？Can they lie with their bodies and behaviors？Animal experts may not call it lying，but they do agree that many animals，from birds to chimpanzees，behave dishonestly to fool other animals．Why？Dishonesty often helps them survive．
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals．For example，a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young．When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest，the plover leads the predator away from the nest．How？It pretends to have a broken wing．The predator follows the"hurt"adult，leaving the baby birds safe in the nest．
Another kind of bird，the scrub jay，buries its food so it always has something to eat．Scrub jays are also thieves．They watch where others bury their food and steal it．But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them．So they go back later，unbury the food，and bury it again somewhere else．
Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work．How？They don't make nests．Instead，they get into other birds'nests secretly．Then they lay their eggs and fly away．When the baby birds come out，their adoptive parents feed them．
Chimpanzees，or chimps，can also be sneaky．After a fight，the losing chimp will give its hand to the other．When the winning chimp puts out its hand，too，the chimps are friendly again．But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again．
Chimps are sneaky in other ways，too．When chimps find food that they love，such as bananas，it is natural for them to cry out．Then other chimps come running．But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food．That way，other chimps don't hear them，and they don't need to share their food．
As children，many of us learn the saying"You can't fool Mother Nature．"But maybe you can't trust her，either．
25．A plover protects its young from a predator byD．
A．getting closer to its young
B．driving away the adult predator
B．leaving its young in another nest
C．pretending to be injured

A．chimps are ready to attack others
B．chimps are jealous of the winners
C．chimps are sometimes dishonest
D．chimps can be selfish too
27．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D

B．The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand．
C．Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests．
D．Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others．
28．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？C
A．How do animals learn to lie？
B．Does Mother Nature fool animals？
C．Do animals lie？
D．How does honesty help animals survive？

4．Growing up in Philadelphia，Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven．His      food-loving family had two kitchens，and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes．Lieberman  improved his kitchen skills during a year abroad before college，learning from a cook in Italy and studying local  specialties（专业） in Gerrnany，Spain and France．At Yale，he was known for throwing dinner parties，single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends．Just for fun，he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking．Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmate how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit．That helped the show become very popular among the students．They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking．Tapes of the show were passed around，with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network．

3．The adobe dwellings（土坯房）（46）built（build） by the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest are admired by even （47）the most modern of architects and engineers．In addition to their simple beauty，what makes the adobe dwellings admirable is their（48）ability（able） to"air condition"a house without （49）using（use）electric equipment．Walls made of adobe take in the heat from the sun on hot days and give out that heat（50）slowly（slow）during cool nights，thus warning the house．When a new day breaks，the walls have given up their heat and are now cold enough （51）to cool （cool） the house during the hot day：（52）At the same time，they warm up again for the night This cycle （53）goes （go） day after day：The walls warm up During the day and cool off during the night and thus always a timely offset（抵消）for the outside temperatures．As （54）natural（nature） architects，the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly（55）howthick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days．
