14．Researchers say that men and women have different communication styles （风格）．That's why they sometimes cannot communicate well with each other．Here are some differences between them．
Men's communication style is more direct．They usually take a direct way to a problem and suggest a solution （解决办法）．Men often make decisions more quickly than women．They also like to make decisions by themselves．Women's communication style is to discuss problems and ask other people for their opinions．Women like to talk with other people before they make a decision．
The topics of conversation are also different between men and women．Women like to discuss personal topics and talk about their feelings．Talking about problems is important in friendship for women．They can express what they think while talking about them．It is important in friendships for women．Men，on the other hand，are less comfortable discussing their feelings．They like to talk about the latest news，business，and personal success．Men build friendships by doing activities together．On the other hand，women build friendships by sharing feelings．
These differences of communication styles cause problems in their relationships．What are the causes？First，women may think it is important to discuss how they feel about a problem．Men，however，like to come to a solution．Second，men often think that women are complaining （抱怨），because women are always talking about their feelings．Men offer a solution to a problem，and then want to talk about something else．The third is that women often think that men don't want to discuss things．In fact，they just want to discuss different things．
As men and women learn more about their different communication styles，they can better understand each other．

64．Do men and women have different communication styles？Yes．/Yes，they do．
65．Do women make decisions by themselves or with others'help？They make decisions with others'help
66．What is important in friendship for women？Talking about problems
67．How do men and women understand each other better？By learning more about their different communication styles
68．What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage？The differences ofcommunication styles between men and women and the causes of the problems intheir relationships．

13．As an anger-management specialist，it never stops to surprise me what people get worked up about these days．Mother Teresa got angry about being poor．Widespread hunger made Gandhi's blood boil．Martin Luther King was fired up by social injustice （不公）．Yet many people seem to fly into strong anger at all kinds of small things：trousers that only have small sizes，leaders who have made unimportant mistakes，families reported in the newspapers with ten kids．Are these things really worth the heated anger they seem to cause？Or could it be that we have nothing better to get angry about any more？
Anger，like all emotions，has played a valuable role in human history．The strong anger helped our ancestors live on thousands of years ago．If they'd never been worried about others stealing their food or animals trying to kill them，they wouldn't have taken necessary action．
In fact，research suggests that the development of our anger response （反应） has been part of our evolution （进化）．If we're shown pictures of angry faces，for example，we're more excited and then choose something to make us satisfied．So anger makes us get the things we really need．
Anger also helped us work in close social groups．Losing our cool showed that we were displeased with others，and that they needed to make changes to their behaviour．
However，life-threatening （威胁生命的） injustice is less likely to happen in our modern societies．The angry response，which plays no real role in keeping us alive，is still kept in our brain．It leads us to get cross about the smaller，unnecessary things．
Recent examples include a road-anger incident （事件） that left a man dead and a fight that started with two trolleys accidentally running into each other in a supermarket．It seems that anger is becoming a usual communication method．
Part of the problem is that where we were once worried about keeping a roof over our heads and having a warm meal，now all our basic needs are met and our expectations have risen．We expect everything is prefect．When it isn't，we stamp our feet．
The good news is that if we have known our anger is often over the top，we might be better able to deal with it．We can check the anger in our brain by asking a simple question：is this matter threatening my life？If not，we could forget it-by finding something really worth getting angry with instead．

56．What role did anger play in man's history？A
A．It once helped humans live on．
B．It brought man what he needed．
C．It threatened human beings life．
D．It caused troubles to our society．
57．What is the problem now，according to the passage？C
A．There are still many things making us angry．
B．Human being's evolution has not developed well．
C．Anger has become a usual communication method．
D．We are very worried about our basic needs now．
58．How can we deal with our anger response？C
A．By trying to give up our expectations．
B．By studying why we get angry so easily．
C．By thinking quietly over the matter we face．
D．By finding something really worth getting angry．
59．The underlined sentence in the second last paragraph may meanD．
A．we put stamps on our feet
B．we kick somebody else heavily
C．we make marks with our feet
D．we knock the ground with our feet．

12．

Pulling off a bandage is so unpleasant，and for certain patients，it's also dangerous．Babies and the elderly have weak skin，and pulling away bandages and medical tape can lead to serious injuries （伤害）．In fact，each year，medical tape causes about 1.5
million injuries in the US alone．
"This is a problem that all doctors and nurses know well，"says Jeffrey Karp，a professor at Harvard Medical School．"They are waiting for new inventions that will not cause injuries．"That's why Karp and his lab are working on an improvement to make fewer injuries when bandages are removed．
Traditional medical tape is simply something sticky on a backing，but Karp's invention has a middle layer （层）．This extra layer takes the most force of removing the tape，which avoids injuries．When it's time to pull away the bandage，it moves right off．All that's left is a small print that can be easily covered or simply rolled off the skin．
Karp's tape isn't his only invention in medical technology．He wrote an article about a surgical （外科） bandage that could hold fast wounded parts of an operation．Even better，this bandage disappears over time，meaning that doctors never have to go back to remove it．If Karp's pain-free bandages come into being as well as his earlier breakthrough，future patients will be much luckier．

53．When do usual bandages cause injuries to patients？B
A．When they are kept on．
B．When they are pulled off．
C．When they are put on．
D．When they are stuck hard．
54．How many layers are there in Karp's invention？C
A．One．
B．Two．
C．Three．
D．Four．
55．What is the greatest advantage of Karp's surgical bandage？A
A．It doesn't need to be pulled off．
B．It can hold fast wounded parts．
C．It makes operation much easier．
D．It can be used as people's skin．

11．What：Silent Dinner Parties （SDPs） were dreamed up by artist Honi Ryan as a student in Germany in 2007．The SDP is a normal dinner party，with one huge exception：Guests are asked not to use their voices，not to read or write，to try to make as little noise as possible，and to keep doing that for at least two hours．Ryan says，"It changes all the rules that we have in social situations．"
Where：Ryan has held more than a dozen SDPs in Germany，China and Australia，all but one in private homes，some as arts festival events．"Everyone keeps silent．When we communicate，there's lots of eye contact，hand gestures and walking around acting things out．We've had silent bands and people making little tableaux （造型） out of each other．It's a really great experience．"
How：While the idea was artistic at first，Ryan says anyone can do it，and she'll offer encouragement using www．honi_edonics．com．au．"Ideas are free．If people want to have a silent dinner party，they should just go for it．The more the better，I say．"

50．Which of the following can be done at a SDP？D

8．Sometimes the most difficult thing about feelings is sharing them with others．Sharing your feelings helps you when your feelings are good and when they aren't so good．
Before you can share them with anyone，you have to figure out（了解） your feelings．When you're trying to figure out your feelings，it might help to remember something that happened and think about how it made you feel．Then you can say，"I feel sad when my friend doesn't play with me"or"I feel angry when my brother always wins at baseball．"This can help you figure out your own feelings．It also gives the person you're talking with more information about what makes you angry．
It can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad，worried，or angry．If you keep feelings locked inside，it can even make you feel sick!
But if you talk with someone like your mom or dad，you will always start to feel better．Now you're not all alone with your problems or worries．Your mom and dad want to know if you have problems because they love you．What if a kid doesn't want to talk with mom or dad？Then find another trusted adult，like a relative or a counselor（顾问） at school．
If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind，write it down on a piece of paper．A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has，but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help．You don't have to solve every problem your own．Sometimes you need help．Talking about your feelings can be the first step．
