【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一名纽约人Michael Greenberg助人为乐的故事。Michael Greenberg是一位商人,但是他与其他商人不同的是:每年冬天他都要赠送大量的手套给穷人,因为他觉得赠送手套虽然是件小事,但是在冬天里对别人却是非常重要的。
(1)根据上文“Michael Greenberg is a very popular New Yorker.”以及下文中“But people who don't know him are sometimes16him. ”的But可知,此处应填C.know about“知道”。
(2)下文“many poor New Yorkers know him...”有提示。
(3)根据上文的“ For those people, he is "Gloves" Greenberg.”可知,那些人叫他“Gloves” Greenberg,因此本句句意应该是“他是如何得到那个名字name的?”。故选A。
(4)根据上文“He looks like any other businessman”他与其他商人看上去一样,以及空前的But可知,此处选different。
(5)根据下文的“who look at the sidewalk and ____21____the street”可知,look at 及21空都是路人的动作,所以选act。
(6)根据常识,在冬天人们在街上急急忙忙地走,而且前半句意思为“看着人行道”,所以选hurry down。
(7)根据上文可知,Mr.Greeberg不像其他纽约人,他不看道路,而且从下文我们知道他在找没戴手套的人,所以选A.people。
(8)句意:当看到没戴手套的人时,他会停下来。C合语境。
(9)根据前文我们知道,他给人手套后,会继续找没戴手套的人,所以他会继续往前走故选B项“move on”。hold up“举起,阻碍”;hang out“ 闲逛”;turn around“转身”。
(10)没戴手套的人当然是手冷。故选C。
(11)Mr.Greenberg发放手套给穷人,所以此处为give away“赠送,发放”合语境。search for “寻找”;store up“贮存”;put on“穿上”。
(12)他在冬天的时候发放手套,那么在一年中的其他时候,他当然就得买手套。故选B。
(13)句意:听说了他的人就送手套给他,因此他的公寓里有许多手套。故选B。
(14)Mr.Greenberg 21年前就开始给大街上没戴手套的人送手套了。选D。
(15)因为他的这种做法由来已久,所以许多纽约的穷人认识他,理解他的行为。选A。
(16)根据句首的But可知,也有人不理解他的做法,所以感到吃惊,故选D。
(17)根据最后一段中的“Michael's father always helped the poor as he believed it made everyone happier.”可知,他这样做只是想让人感到快乐,故选D。
(18)根据下文“Michael's father always helped the poor...”可知,Michael的父亲就总是帮助穷人,所以帮助人的这种行为是世代相传的。故选family。
(19)联系前文可知,Michael的父亲认为帮助他人会让别人更快乐,Michael也是这样想的。故选C。
(20)一副手套虽然是微不足道的东西,但在冬天却能起大作用。与make a big difference相对,选small。

People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.
The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”
Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.
Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph' to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”
Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “ If you don't know about them, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”
(1)The subject discussed in this passage is _______.
A.how people do research studies
B.how people open up when emailing
C.how to communicate at work
D.how to discuss and solve a problem
(2)The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.
A.they didn't talk about very personal things
B.they couldn't see each other
C.the cameras on the computers were turned on
D.they had to discuss a question
(3)In the writer's opinion, one should ______.
A.focus on oneself when emailing
B.talk more freely in emails than usual
C.consider how one uses email at work
D.discuss any subject that one wants to
