I recommend flying to Washington D.C., our nation’s capital. Like Beijing this is the heartbeat of America. While in Washing D.C. you should check out the White House, the presidential monuments, Ford’s Theatre where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated(暗杀) and the US Capital building, which is the home of the US government.
When you’re ready to leave Washing D.C., go to Chinatown and jump on a bus up to Newks5u York. These buses are really cheap and convenient.
Newks5u York is like a fantasy world where you can do almost anything! My friend from Thailand said the best Thai food she ever ate was in Newks5u York City. So eat as much as you can, see a show on Broadway and climb the stairs of the Statue of Liberty. If you really want an American experience, eat a hot dog while you watch a Newks5u York Yankee’s baseball game.
Now, because you are my friends, I will recommend to you one of the great secret places in America: Newks5u Hampshire. Even though this is my home state, I am not biased(偏爱). Newks5u Hampshire is one of the most beautiful places in the world. In the fall, hike the White Mountains and be surprised at the bright red, yellow and orange leaves on the trees. In the winter, drink a warm glass of hot chocolate before you ski through freshly fallen snow. And in the summer take a boat out of Lake Winnipesauke and enjoy crystal(水晶般的) clear water.
Actually, you’ll have a good time just about anywhere.

　　Just outside the northern Italian town of Bra, there rises a church tower with a clock that is a half hour slow. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin，Bra smells of roses，and leisure（悠闲）is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes slow food and one of Italian cities that have joined the slow cities. In Bra, the population is 27，866. The town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic（有机的）. And as the movement goes well，the slow concept gradually spreads across Europe.
　　The argument for a Slow Europe is not only that it is good，but also that it can work. The Slow City Movement, which started in 1999，has improved local economies（经济）by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra，where unemployment is only 5 percent，about half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are doing well，many with sales rising at a rate of 15% per year.“This is our answer to the world，”says Paolo Saturnini，the founder of Slow Cities.
　　France is in favor of slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model：short hours and long vacations. Yet the French are more productive than those in the United States and Britain，and have been for years.
　　The mystery of French productivity has risen an Europe-wide debate about the advantages of working more slowly.

Are you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping. In other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.

Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem –addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.

Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. When we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. In this case, we often go shopping.

A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For some people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.

Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls where you can’t see clocks displaying the time because they don’t want you to become too aware of the time you spend there. What’s more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you don’t have to leave the mall because of your physical needs.

Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior. For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control.

55．Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?

A．Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use.

B．Those who just walk around the shopping malls.

C．Those who are occupied in too much shopping.

D．Those who feel sorry for their shopping.

56．According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?

A．The awareness of how market forces work.

B．The desire for status, power, beauty or success.

C．Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in people’s life.

D．Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.

57．How can we control our shopping behavior according to the passage?

A．Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.

B．Applying for a credit card before we go shopping.

C．Making the shopping time as short as possible.

D．Making a shopping list before we go shopping.

58．The author writes this passage to_______________.     .

A．inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppers

B．scold the problem shoppers

C．provide solutions for the problem shoppers.

D．tell a shopping story

 

The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place

   Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically（身体上）.

   Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

   On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

   The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

   Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.

56. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.

A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential

B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products

C. diet products are misleading people

D. people are fed up with diet products

57. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.

A. try out a variety of diet foods             B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods

C. pay attention to their own eating habits     D. watch their weight rather than their diet

58. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.

A. losing weight is effortless            B. it costs a lot to lose weight

C. diet products bring no pain           D. diet products are free from calories

59. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.

A. are over-consumed               B. lack basic nutrients

C. are short of chemicals             D. provide too much energy

60. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
