SubliminaI(隐性)advertising happens every day. Shoppers are regularly encouraged to buy by appeals to their senses or unconscious assumptions. I recently carried out a series of research experiments to uncover the ways advertisers use to confuse us to Pull out our wallets. Here are several techniques you should know about.
We fall for "tradition". Some people believe that squeezing a lime(酸橙) into a Corona beer is a time-honored Mexican custom to improve the beer's taste or destroy bacteria(细菌). The truth? It dates back only t0 1981, when a bartender (酒保) threw a lime into the neck of a Corona to see if he could start a trend. This simple act, which caught on like wildfire, helped Corona become the best -selling imported beer in the U.S. market.
Music makes us buy. Store owners know that playing music with a beat faster than the human heartbeat causes shoppers to shop quickly and therefore buy less. The slower the beat, the more time shoppers will take, and the greater the chances are that they'll buy something.
Shapes have a draw. A large food maker once tested two different containers holding exactly the same. The only difference? Shapes .When asked which product they preferred, every one selected the first bottle that is narrow around the middle and thicker at the top and on the bottom.
Places help decide. Let's say I offered you a choice of two new cars. They're of the same model, the same color, and they have the same parts. There's only one difference: One is made in Turkey, and the other in Germany. My guess is that you'd pick the German model, since you associate Germany with superb techniques. What does the underlined expression "pull out our wallets" in the first paragraph mean? ( Nomore than 5 words)

[1] Joshua Lionel Cowen，a New York inventor，was born in l 877．In 1 900，he created maybe the most popular Christmas toy of the last century —little electric trains that circle Christmas trees．More than 50 million Lionel train sets have been sold worldwide，and today Lionel produces more than 300 miles of track each year．
[2] Like many American inventors，Josh Cowen，who died in l965，was self-taught．According to history books．when he was 7 he carved a wooden toy train and tried to put a little steam engine on it．The engine blew up，but there were no complaints from his parents and eight brothers and sisters．
[3] As a 23-year-old working at an electric fan company，Cowen dreamed up putting a little battery—powered fan motor onto a wooden toy train he called the Electric Express．He took it to a toy store，and they put it in the window to replace a train you had to push around by hand．Within days，Christmas shoppers snapped up six Lionel trains, and the company business took off．
[4]While there were many toy train companies—the first electric train was exhibited at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago—Cowen’s invention beat them a11．probably because he tied it to Christmas and produced the toy villages and other things to put around the tree and the train．Still，competition has not stopped．Today there are many companies making toy trains of all sizes，some on tracks using electricity，some on the floor using wind-up springs(发条)．
[5] One of the best places in Washington to see a big toy train display is the U．S．Botanic Garden．The big glass building at the foot of the U．S．Capitol has a single train running in one room and a bunch of trains in another big room．____________________________ is one of the most popular holiday attractions in the city．What does the author want to tell us about Joshua Lionel Cowen in Paragraph l?(no more than 8 words)
What was Cowen’s family’s attitude toward his devotion to invention?(no more than 6 words)
What made Cowen succeed at the 1893 World’s Fair?(no more than 8 words)

Though it is impossible to live completely free of stress(压力), it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect(影响) when it can’t be avoided（避免）. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
Try physical activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try reducing the stress through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.
Take care of yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should turn to a doctor.
Make time for yourself
Leave time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
Make a plan for the things to do
Stress can be caused by disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then __________________________, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
__________________________________________________________________________________Which sentence in the passage can be replaced(替换) by the following one?
You might feel stressed as a result of bad temper, poor quality of sleep or diet.
____________________________________________________________________________________Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)
__________________________________________________________________________________Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________Which of the suggestions do you think is the best for you? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.)

Across the world, mobile phones are very popular with young people. They think that the phones are more than a means of communication — having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has worried some health professionals. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people will suffer from health problems because of the use of mobile phones. But mobile phone companies say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissue (组织) of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age due to the fact that he couldn’t remember even simple tasks. The man had been talking on his mobile phone for about six hours a day for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it is better to use mobile phones less often. Use a normal phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. So, for now, it is wise not to use your mobile phone too often.Why do young people buy mobile phones according to the passage?
(No more than 11 words) (2 marks)
_____________________________________________________________________Why did the salesman mentioned in the passage retire young?
(No more than 7 words) (2 marks)
____________________________________________________________________What do the manufacturing companies think of the safety issue of mobile phones?
(No more than 14 words) (3 marks)

【1】Classroom programs designed to improve elementary school students' social and emotional skills can also increase reading and math achievement, even if academic improvement is not a direct goal of the skills building, according to a study to be published this month in American Educational Research Journal.
【2】The benefit holds true for students across a range of social-economic backgrounds. In the study, "Efficacy of the Responsive Classroom Approach: Results from a Three Year, Longitudinal Randomized Controlled Trial," the researchers looked specifically at Responsive Classroom (RC), a widely-used social and emotional learning intervention(介入方式).
【3】The study is among just a handful of randomized controlled trials that have examined the effect of social and emotional learning interventions on student achievement.
【4】"We find that at the very least, supporting students' social and emotional growth in the classroom does not interfere with academic learning," said Rimm-Kaufman, professor at the University of Virginia Curry School of Education. "When teachers receive adequate levels of training and support, using practices that support students' social and emotional growth actually boosts achievement."
【5】Math and reading gains were similar among those students who qualified for free and reduced-priced lunch and those who were not.
【6】"The success of many curricula(课程)requires that teachers use effective classroom management and develop student confidence and autonomy(自主)," said Rimm-Kaufman. "Our trial of the Responsive Classroom approach suggests that teachers who take the time to foster relationships in the classroom and support children's self-control actually promote student achievement."
【7】"In a time of intense academic demands, many critics question the value of spending time on teaching social skills, building classroom relationships and supporting student autonomy," said Rimm-Kaufman. "Our research shows that time spent supporting children's social and emotional abilities can be a very wise investment."What’s the main idea of the passage? (no more than 10)
____________________________________________What skills were improved according to the study? (no more than 4)
____________________________________________How do the researchers carry out the study? (no more than 6)

[1]Oops! In your rush to get to school, you drop a piece of toast on the floor. Do you throw it away or decide it’s still OK to eat? If you’re like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which claims foods are safe to eat, if you pick them up within 5 seconds of dropping them. But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds are all it takes for foods to become contaminated with enough bacteria to make you sick.
[2]Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If we eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, we can become sick. One of these food-borne bacteria is Salmonella. It makes 1.4 million people sick every year. Earlier this year, 370 people became sick after eating peanut butter that had been contaminated with Salmonella at the manufacturing factory. Salmonella are often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods carefully.
[3]Being a good housekeeper is another good way to prevent infection. If household surfaces aren’t washed thoroughly, they can support Salmonella for weeks. A team of scientists at Clemson University in South Carolina have tested the 5-second rule, using sandwich ingredients. First, they placed a known amount of Salmonella cells on three surfaces: wood, tile, and carpet. They then placed a slice of bread and a slice of bologna(博洛尼亚大红肠) on each surface for 5, 30, or 60 seconds. After just 5 seconds, both the bread and bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick.
[4]So forget the 5-second rule. If your toast lands on the floor, throw it away. Stick a fresh slice of bread in the toaster. And this time, be careful not to drop it! What is the “5-second rule” mentioned in the first paragraph? (no more than 18 words)
——————————————————————————————————Why is it important for us to cook food carefully?(no more than 5 words)
——————————————————————————————————What advice is given to prevent infection in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words)
——————————————————————————————————Why did the scientists at Clemson University carry out that test? (no more than 15 words.)
——————————————————————————————————What is the author’s attitude towards the 5-second rule? (one word)

When knowing his son got a C grade in the maths exam, the father was proud and cheerful. This is the tear-jerking moment when a proud father is captured on camera celebrating his son's exam result.
After setting up the hidden camera, the boy calls his father to the kitchen, telling him in a whisper 'I've just got something from school; I need you to come and look at it.' His father, who can be heard shouting from elsewhere in the house, asks 'Has something happened?', to which the naughty teenager, Aria, replies 'Yes! It's really important'. As his nervous-looking father approaches, Aria says 'Come and have a chat with me. Just come in, and read that', he says while passing over a piece of paper displaying the result.
After seeing his son has achieved a C grade in the maths exam, the man asks 'Is that veracious?,' before bursting into tears of joy. The pair hug before the disbelieving dad asks again, 'Are you sure? They've not made a mistake? I can't believe it; I just can't believe it!'
A mere year before the video was filmed, the schoolboy received an F in the subject. He explained，'In England you need a C to basically do anything with your life. I've never been amazing academically and have struggled through school. Neither me or my dad or my teachers thought I was going to get my C, for me it was tough. When I told my Dad who means the world to me this was his reaction...Enjoy'.
Still feeling happy from the news, his delighted father tells him 'You're set for life! You're set for life!'. The teen is seen smiling into the camera at the end of the video, seemingly as thrilled with the result as his emotional father.Why does Aria call his father to the kitchen? (no more than 15 words)
What does the underlined word “veracious” mean in the 3rd paragraph? (one word)
In Paragraph 3, why does Aria’s father ask those questions? (no more than 10 words)
What does a C grade mean to a person in England? (no more than 15 words)

【1】Sometime early in the next century, human beings will move into habitats on Mars. They will live there for about a year, and then will be replaced with another set of pioneers. The establishment of this base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.
【2】We already know that Mars is like the earth in many ways: general size; presence of water; length of day; range of temperatures. These similarities have caused many people to consider a century-long project: to terraform Mars. Terraforming means changing a planet’s surface so that Earth’s life forms can survive there. This concept, previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.
【3】Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple: add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere; pump water to the surface; and add the earth’s plants and animals in the order in which they developed on Earth. But it will take at least 300 years.
【4】Some people think that such a project is too huge for humans to accomplish, but there are very good reasons to make the attempt. The earth now contains some 7 billion people, and no one knows how many humans the earth can support. Our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species with extinction. We also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet: changing the landscape, the atmosphere and the climate. At present, we are aware of the importance of terraforming the earth as we try to control global warming, air and water pollution, and protect some natural habitats.
【5】While the future of such a project is daunting(令人生畏的), it is not impossible. Even if earth-bound societies come and go in the next 300 years, the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers without the need for constant backing from earth.
【6】The future existence of humanity may very well depend on our ability to terraform Mars.What’s the purpose of establishing a base on Mars in the 1st paragraph? ( not more than 12 words)
List three ways Mars is like the earth. ( not more than 9 words)
What’s the author’s attitude towards the project? (1 word)
What does the future existence of humanity most probably rely on? ( not more than 6 words)

[1]Psychiatrists(精神病专家)who work with older parents say that maturity(成熟) can be an advantage in child raising—older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy.
[2]Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, decreasing energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken fear. “Having late-life children often means parents, particularly fathers, end up retiring much later. For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.” says Brandy Gabrielle, an economics professor.
[3]Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he's learned that young at heart doesn't mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf. “You can't get away from that.”
[4]Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists (治疗专家)who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Gals, a New York psychologist. But at the core(核心)of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won't be alive long enough to support and protect their children,” she says.
[5]Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of pregnancy treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years — a sense of family. Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”
What is probably the older parents’ biggest fear? (No more than 10 words)

Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in tourism． More and more of us are becoming concerned about the effects we are having on the destinations we choose, as well as the world around us． Some of us are choosing more green modes of transport to get there instead of flying, and some of us are choosing to visit greener destinations． India is one of the best places for ecotourism, and with the destinations below you can be sure that you’ll not only be protecting the earth, but giving something back to the area too．

There is an old saying about volunteer work that goes like this: "No one can do everything, but everyone can do something."
Today, many people volunteer their time and energy to help others. There are a lot of ways to meet other people's needs, and it seems there is a volunteer group for everything. Some provide education, while others offer adventure. Many do both. For example, some volunteers provide emergency help after a catastrophic event or disaster. Others are happy to get dirty while repairing homes or planting trees or flowers in poor neighborhoods. Young people see suffering and loneliness around them and find ways to help. And history lovers help archeologists search for ancient objects to help deepen knowledge of the past.
The volunteers also work in many areas around the world, including Haiti. More than two years have passed since a seven point zero earthquake shook the nation. The exact number of people who died may never be known. Estimates gave numbers from ninety five thousand to more than three hundred thousand.
Thousands of survivors of the Haitian earthquake still live in temporary shelters. Last year, former American President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn joined five hundred Habitat volunteers in the town of Leogane to build houses.
Organizations do not have to be large to get volunteers. An activist group in Dharamsala, India is a good example. Jodie Underhill from England arrived in northern India several years ago. She planned to volunteer for an environmental project. She found a lot to do there. She could hardly believe how much garbage was ruining some of the area's most beautiful sights. Miss Underhill learned about _______________________ while taking part in other volunteer projects. But soon enough she formed her own group, Mountain Cleaners. Miss Underhill says the work is very hard and the Indian media started calling her "Garbage Girl." But she says she was pleased with the name.What does the passage mainly talk about?

1.Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
2.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called ______________.
3.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain release the same hormones. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
4.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
5.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
