以下是对这些书的描述。请将这些描述与书籍的图片及相应简介匹配起来。
小题1:According to Jon Ronson, the writer of the book, psychopaths are very charming, smart, easily bored and cruel. In the book, Ronson takes readers into the fascinating world of psychopaths by speaking to the experts and having amusing conversations with the psychopaths themselves.
小题2:This book is about a deeply funny story, as well as a deeply sad story—the great Nineties moment when a bunch of punk rock bands from Seattle accidentally blew up into the world’s biggest noise. The author gives the unique chronicle of how it all happened, and how it ended too soon. The book also makes readers appreciate how strange it was.
小题3:This is just one of the terrifying everyday tales of the body trade documented. It started out extremely well, with some fascinating stories about the trade in human body parts. It covers many different aspects of the “red market”, ranging from skeletons to blood, and even the giant business of collecting and selling human hair.
小题4:It’s been reported that the author has often attracted as much attention as his cars. The book is partly a biography covering a very short portion of the author’s own life—his second stint at General Motor（GM）—which recently ended after about a decade. However, it’s more than a biography. It is also a view on what went wrong with the US car industry and US industry in general.
小题5:This is a great book for anyone who has an interest in science, or wants to see advances in medicine at greater rates that we’ve seen them so far. If a reader has teenagers with interests in science, he should have them read this book. It will inspire them to broaden their horizons beyond the typical research lab.

答案

小题1:B
小题2:A
小题3:C
小题4:D
小题5:F

解析

小题1:B。本题题干中的关键词是psychopaths，与之对应的唯有B项(书名)；另通过对应作者名也可选出答案。
小题2:A。初次阅读下来，暂时不可确定答案，因此可留待最后来确定。从题干可知，此处描述的书是关于西雅图摇滚音乐，因此可根据这一主题对选项进行排除；从倒数第二句中的the unique chronicle of how it all happened， and how it ended too soon可知是讲历史；与这一主题最接近的是A项。
小题3:C。根据本题题干中的tales of the body trade及“red market”已基本可以确定选C。然后可继续阅读，对应信息点，以作进一步确定。
小题4:D。根据本题题干中的cars和US car industry可确定选D。
小题5:F。根据本题题干中的science可确定选F。

One day, in spring, four lawyers were riding their horses along a country road.
There had been a storm, and the ground was very soft. Water was dripping(滴) from the trees, and the grass was wet. As they were passing through a grove(树丛) of small trees, they heard a great fluttering(拍翅) over their heads and a weak chirping(唧唧声) in the grass.
“What is the matter here?” asked the first lawyer, whose name was Speed. “Oh, it’s only some birds!” said the second lawyer, whose name was Hardin. “The storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest. They are too young to fly, and the mother bird must be very worried about them.”
“What a pity! They’ll die down there in the grass,” said the third lawyer.
“Oh, well! They’re noting but birds,” said Hardin. “Why should we bother?”
Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. In a few minutes they forgot about the birds.
However, the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, stopped. He got down from his horse and very gently put the little ones in his big warm hands. They did not seem frightened, but chirped softly, as if they knew they were safe. Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had fallen. It was much higher than he could reach from the ground, so Lincoln climbed up the tree. He put the birds softly one by one into their warm little home.
Soon the other three lawyers stopped at a spring(泉) to give their horses water.
“Where’s Lincoln?” asked one.
All were surprised to find that Lincoln was not with them.
In a few minutes Lincoln joined them. His shoes were covered with mud.
“Hello, Abraham!” said Hardin. “Where have you been?”
“I stopped a minute to give those birds to their mother,” he answered.
Then all three of them laughed heartily
Then all three of them laughed heartily. They thought it so foolish that a strong man should take so much trouble just for some worthless little birds.
“Gentlemen,” said Lincoln, “I would not sleep well tonight if I had left those helpless little birds on their own in the wet grass.”
Abraham Lincoln afterwards became very famous as a lawyer and statesman. He was then elected president. Next to Washington, he is regarded as one of the greatest American presidents.

Saving the birds
Brids	Two birds fell out their 53 in a tree with the rest in the nest fluttering.
The four lawyers’ attitudes towards the birds were not the same.
Speed	Hardin	The third lawyer	Abraham Lincoln
He just 54 what was going on here.	He didn’t care about the birds.	He showed 55 for the birds’ fate.	He stopped, picked the birds up and found where they had fallen. With great difficulty he climbed up to the nest which was 56 up in the tree and put the birds back, but the others laughed at him.
The greatness of a 57 man lies not only in his achievements but in his noble mind.

A major source of teen stress is school exams，and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress，how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 71 _ What they look for is your presence—to talk，to cry，or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears，but don’ t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. 72   Together，you and your teen can work out a schedule in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm environment. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy(隐私). Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy，balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best.   73    If this happens，encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet，rather than junk food，is best for reducing stress.
74 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation，fun， and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude.   75  Your panic，anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’ s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly，reassure (安慰)your teen that things will be all right， no matter what the results are.

A．A parent’s attitude will dictate their teen’s emotions.

B．Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite（a desire for food）.
