I felt very sad and even 41 for losing the money when I got home.

举一反三
On Christmas morning, I went to the Cockhedge Mall. People there were all busy buying their last minute requirements. I needed to buy a birthday card for my son-in-law whose birthday is the 29th of December. Picking up a few more things as well as my cared I went to join the line for the express checkout which was for people who only had a few items in a basket and not a trolley load. This line was next to the Customer Service desk. Seemingly waiting quite a long time, I was jogged out of my thoughts by a voice behind me making comments on the things I bought. It was so funny when I realized that she was describing the contents of my basket. The owner of the voice was a very pretty young lady. I said to her that I was going to buy a box of Christmas cookies but the only ones left were not to my liking. The lady told me that just opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they had lots of cookies. I said, “I’m not going to bother now. I had enough of shops and I’m going home.” The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time saying “If there is anyone in the line with a few items in their basket, none of which needed to be weighed, I will check out their groceries at the desk.” Because I had the sprouts which needed to be weighted, the young lady accepted the offer and walked away waving goodbye. Eventually my turn came at the checkout. I was walking away when I met my new friend once again who handed me a beautiful box of Christmas cookies. With a big hug she said “Hope you have a lovely Christmas.” She had been into Superdrug to buy me the cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge. What a generosity to a stranger! I was so surprised you could have knocked me down with a feather. My Good Samaritan would never know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family. Telling them this story, as we ate around the table, kept everyone spellbound. 小题1:The underlined word “spellbound” in the last paragraph probably means .A.interested | B.disappointed | C.astonished | D.frightened | 小题2:Which of the following could be the best title of the story?A.A Piece of Lucky Feather | B.A Surprise Christmas Gift | C.The Boring Shopping Experience | D.The Unforgettable Big Hug | 小题3:How does the writer feel about the pretty young lady?A.Worried. | B.Satisfied. | C.Grateful | D.Proud. | 小题4:What can we learn from the story?A.Nobody is sure what will happen the next moment. | B.A simple action can bring other people happiness. | C.Being patient will decrease the waiting time. | D.Life without hope and faith is a full thing. |

We’ve all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles(腹肌). It’s easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of million of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist. And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how expensive they are-shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐). Some can even cause injury-like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, trpically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise. The fact is that many Americans don’t have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can’t lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, and it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of tan inch of fat. That’s enough to dismiss most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day. So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as “Body Boogies” and “Good Mornings” will “help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets.” Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer. Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements-so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor-and exercises performed on the “Captain’s Chair”, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results. 小题1:Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?A.Torso Track. | B.Ab-Doer. | C.Captain’s Chair. | D.Body Shaper-Q8SP. | 小题2:According to the author, it’s difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles mainly because .A.they do not put in enough efforts | B.injuries interrupt their exercise frequently | C.they change their exercise routine regularly | D.how big their muscles will be is determined by birth | 小题3:The author convinces the readers by .A.describing successful eases | B.offering professional connects | C.presenting findings of researches | D.comparing advertisements of products | 小题4:What’s the main purpose of this passage?A.To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine. | B.To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements. | C.To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection. | D.To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research. |

Destiny and Personal Responsibility One important variable affecting communication across cultures is destiny(命运)and personal responsibility. This refers to the degree to which we feel ourselves the masters of our lives, contrary to the degree to which we see ourselves as subject to things outside our control. Another way to look at this is to ask how much we see ourselves able to change and act, to choose the course of our lives and relationships. Some have drawn a parallel between the personal responsibility in North American settings and the view itself. The North American view is vast, with large spaces of unpopulated land. The frontier attitude of “King” of the wilderness, and the expansiveness of the land reaching huge distances, may relate to generally high levels of confidence in the ability to shape and choose our destinies. In this expansive land, many children grow up with a heroic sense of life, where ideas are big, and hope springs forever. When they experience temporary failures, they encouraged to redouble their efforts, to “try, try again.” Action, efficiency(效率), and achievement are valued and expected. Free will is respected in laws and enforced by courts. Now consider places in the world with much smaller land, whose history reflects wars and tough struggles: Northern Ireland, Mexico, Israel, Palestine. In these places, destiny’s role is more important in human life. In Mexico, there is a history of hard life, fighting over land, and loss of homes. Mexicans are more likely to see struggles as part of their life and unavoidable. Their passive attitude is expr4essed in their way of responding to failure or accident by saying “ni modo”(“no way” or “tough lick”), meaning that the failure was destined. This variable is important to understanding cultural conflict. If someone believing in free will crosses paths with someone more passive, miscommunication is likely. The first person may expect action and accountability. Failing to see it, he may conclude that the second is lazy, not cooperative, or dishonest. The second person will expect respect for the natural order of thins. Failing to see it, he may conclude that the first is forcible, rude, or big headed in his ideas of what can be accomplished or changed. 小题1:The author thinks that one’s character is partly determined by .A.physical senses | B.general attitude | C.financial background | D.geographic characteristics | 小题2:According to the passage, Mexicans would think that Americans are .A.impractical | B.dishonest | C.ambitious | D.hesitant | 小题3:The underlined word “subject” in Paragraph 1 probably means .A.a topic of a discussion | B.a branch of knowledge | C.a person being experimented on | D.a person under the power of others | 小题4:The author would probably agree that .A.vast land may lead to a more controllable desire | B.heroic sense of life roots deeply in a small country | C.living in limited space contributes to an accepting attitude | D.fighting over land may help people gain high levels of confidence |

I paid 30 yuan for a watermelon the other day. When I ate it at home I found it more bitter than sweet. I was 36 to throw it away for it cost me money 37 . But to eat it was a 38 thing no better than tasting goldthread(黄连) Things like this 39 occur in our daily life. For example, last week when going on a tour we failed to find the 40 we had been seeking. 41 we were so uncomfortable as if on pins and needles(如坐针毡).In such a case we had better 42 home immediately, but most of us tourists still chose to 43 our way until we finished visiting all the scenic spots, 44 actually we did not quite enjoy them. If we 45 , we’ll get nothing; we would have spent money 46 .If we don’t give up, what we’ve got is something to cause suffering or pain, or 47 disaster. Since that’s the case, why are we still unwilling to 48 with it? The only 49 _ is: it means money. Then what 50 __does money contain? Its importance lies in none 51 __the following two aspects: (1) it can be used for our living;(2) it can be used for daily life. When a sum of money that should be able to obtain joy or enjoyment is certain to 52 the purpose, isn’t it wise to give it up? Isn’t it a sort of 53 for money-spending or even for enjoying ourselves? To abandon and forget a sum of money that is to be of no value or to produce 54 values can be counted as 55 value of money. Isn’t it so?
