Many people have the hobby of collecting things，e．g．stamps，postcard or antiques．In the 18th and 19th centuries，（1）　　（wealth）people travelled and collected plants，historical objects and works of art．They kept their collection at home until it got too big （2）　or　until they died，and then it was given to a museum．The 80，000 objects collected by Sir Hans Sloane，for example，（3）　　（form） the core collection of the British Museum（4）　　opened in 1759．

The parts of a museum open to the public （5） 　　（call） galleries or rooms．Often，only a small part of a museum's collection（6） 　　（be） on display． Most of it is stored away or used for research．

Many museums are lively places and they attract a lot of visitors．As well as looking at exhibits，visitors can play with computer simulations（模拟）and imagine（7） 　　（they） living at a different time in history or（8） 　　（walk） through a rainforest．At the Jorvik Centre in York，the city's Viking settlement is recreated，and people experience the sights，sounds and smells of the old town．Historical（9） 　　（accurate） is important but so is entertainment．Museums must compete（10） 　　people's spare time and money with other amusements．Most museums also welcome school groups and arrange special activities for children．

When he was 16，Molai began to notice something （3） 　　happening around his home．A flood had hit the area earlier that year and the（4） 　　it caused had driven away a number of birds．（5） 　　，the number of snakes had declined as well． He （6） 　 　that it was because there weren't enough trees to protect them from the（7） 　 　．The solution，of course，was to plant trees so the animals could seek（8） 　　during the daytime．He turned to the（9） 　　department for help but was told that nothing would grow there．However，Molai went looking on his own and（10） 　 　a nearby island where he began to plant trees．

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking．（1） 　　Do you want to be a good public speaker？Here are some principles you most master．

People want to listen to someone who is interesting，relaxed and comfortable．Too often，when you stand up to give a speech，you focus on the "public" at the expense of the "speaking．" （2） 　　Focus on the speaking．Talk directly to your audience，be yourself and make a connection．

Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes．Yet，the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking．People's attention wanders constantly．In fact，most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's message．So，don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly serious one．（3） 　　

Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker．（4） 　 　And like everything else in life，that takes practice．Remember，even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis．

（5） 　　It's rare to hear someone say，"I wish that speaker had spoken longer．" On the other hand，you probably can't count the times that you've thought，"I'm glad that talk is over．It seemed to go on forever!" So surprise your audience．Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated．It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end．

A．	Do the opposite．
B．	You want to be an effective public speaker．
C．	You don't need to apologize for a minor slip．
D．	When it comes to public speaking，less is usually more．
E．	The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience．
F．	Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners．
G．	However，the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be．

According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research，both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake．And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions （份），it's the beanpoleswith big appetites you really need to avoid．

To test the effect of social influence on eating habits，the researchers conducted two experiments．In the first，95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly （表面上）participate in a study about movie viewership．Before the film began，each woman was asked to help herself to a snack．An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first．In her natural state， the actor weighed 105 pounds． But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds．

Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food．The participants followed suit，taking more food than they normally would have．However，they took significantly more when the actor was thin．

For the second test，in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls．In the other case，she took 30 pieces．The results were similar to the first test：the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces．

The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions．If this fellow participant is going to eat more，so will I．Call it the "I'll have what she's having" effect．However，we'll adjust the influence．If an overweight person is having a large portion，I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits．But if a thin person eats a lot，I'll follow suit．If he can eat much and keep slim，why can't I？

（1）What is the recent study mainly about？ 　　

A．	Food safety．
B．	Movie viewership．
C．	Consumer demand．
D．	Eating behavior．

（2）What does the underlined word "beanpoles" in paragraph 1 refer to？ 　　

A．	Big eaters．
B．	Overweight persons．
C．	Picky eaters．
D．	Tall thin persons．

（3）Why did the researchers hire the actor？ 　　

A．	To see how she would affect the participants．
B．	To test if the participants could recognize her．
C．	To find out what she would do in the two tests．
D．	To study why she could keep her weight down．

（4）On what basis do we "adjust the influence" according to the last paragraph？ 　　

A．	How hungry we are．
B．	How slim we want to be．
C．	How we perceive others．
D．	How we feel about the food．

In the mid﹣1990s，Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan．He left after seven months，physically broken and having lost his mind．A few years later，still attracted to the country，he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea．

His visit，however，ended up involving a lot more than that．Hence this book，Chasing the Sea：Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia， which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan，where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea．It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land，and of the people he meets on his way：Rustam，his translator，a lovely 24﹣year﹣old who picked up his colorful English in California，Oleg and Natasha，his hosts in Tashkent，and a string of foreign aid workers．

This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan，made of friendliness and warmth，but also its darker side of society．In Samarkand，Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders，while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing．In Ferghana，he attends a mountain funeral（葬礼）followed by a strange drinking party．And in Karakalpakstan，he is saddened by the dust storms，diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea．

Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references，making his tale a well﹣rounded picture of Uzbekistan，seen from Western eyes．His judgment and references are decidedly American，as well as his delicate stomach．As the author explains，this is neither a travel nor a history book，or even a piece of reportage．Whatever it is，the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions．

A．	To introduce a book．
B．	To explain a cultural phenomenon．
C．	To remember a writer．
D．	To recommend a travel destination．

In ancient China lived an artist（1） 　　paintings were almost lifelike．The artist's reputation had made him proud．One day the emperor wanted to get his portrait（画像）done so he called all great artists to come and present their（2） 　　（fine）work，so that he could choose the best．The artist was sure he would（3） 　　（choose），but when he presented his masterpiece to the emperor's chief minister，the old man laughed．The wise old man told him to travel to the Li River ﹣ perhaps he could learn a little from the greatest artist in the world．

Filled with（4） 　　（curious），the artist packed his bags and left．（5） 　　he asked the villagers on the banks of the river where he could find the legendary （传奇的）artist，they smiled and（6） 　　（point）down the river．The next morning he hired a boat and set out（7） 　　（find）the well﹣known painter．As the small boat moved（8） 　　（gentle）along the river he was left speechless by the mountains being silently reflected in the water．He passed milky white waterfalls and mountains in many shades of blue．And when he saw the mists rising from the river and the soft clouds（9） 　　（surround）the mountain tops，he was reduced to tears．The artist was finally humbled（谦卑）by the greatest artist（10） 　　earth，Mother Nature．

As a businesswoman，I care deeply about my customers．But like anyone for whom you feel affection，（1） 　 　can also drive you mad．They'll come rushing in，（2） 　　their handbag's been stolen．They'll（3） 　　that they left it in the changing room，create havoc（混乱）and then（4） 　　it had been in their car all the time．They'll have tried out half the（5） 　　in the shop，and want the only style you don't have left in a（6） 　　colour． I do know how upset the shop staff can get，but I try to persuade them to keep（7） 　 　．

That taught me a valuable（14） 　　and I pass it on to the people who（15） 　　in the market．Don't take it （16） 　　．If a customer is rude or difficult，just think "Maybe she's had a row with her husband．Maybe her child's not （17） 　　．" Always water it down and don't let your ego（自我）get（18） 　 　．If you do，you won't be able to（19） 　　it and the whole thing develops into an unpleasant scene and that（20） 　　everyone's day．

A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house．The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party．The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home．（1） 　　And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents．

（2） 　 　Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores．Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains Even if there isn't a registry，a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with，like a piece of art or a plant．

（3） 　　This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn't a lot of food served．There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party．The host or hostess of the party will，however，probably give all the guests a tour of their new home．Sometimes，because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home，people may be asked to help unpack boxes．（4）

F．	The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together．
G．	This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter．

We are the products of evolution，and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago．As scientists look deeper into our genes（基因），they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years． People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes． Cattle﹣raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation （突变）that helps them digest milk as adults．

On Thursday in an article published in Cell，a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation ﹣ not to air or to food，but to the ocean．A group of sea﹣dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers．The Bajau，as these people are known，number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia，Malaysia and the Philippines．They have traditionally lived on houseboats；in recent times，they've also built houses on stilts（支柱）in coastal waters．"They are simply a stranger to the land，" said Rodney C．Jubilado，a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau．

Dr．Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines．They made a living as divers，spearfishing or harvesting shellfish． "We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders，" Dr．Jubilado said．"I could see them actually walking under the sea．"

In 2015，Melissa Ilardo，then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen，heard about the Bajau．She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them．"It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population，" said Dr．Ilardo．She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive．

（1）What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1？ 　 　

A．	Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers．
B．	New knowledge of human evolution．
C．	Recent findings of human origin．
D．	Significance of food selection．

（2）Where do the Bajau build their houses？ 　　

A．	In valleys．
B．	Near rivers．
C．	On the beach．
D．	Off the coast．

（3）Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau？ 　　

A．	They could walk on stilts all day．
B．	They had a superb way of fishing．
C．	They could stay long underwater．
D．	They lived on both land and water．

（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？ 　　

A．	Bodies Remodeled for a Life at Sea
B．	Highlanders' Survival Skills
C．	Basic Methods of Genetic Research
D．	The World's Best Divers

With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation（孤独），more families are choosing to live together．

The doorway to peace and quiet，for Nick Bright at least，leads straight to his mother﹣in﹣law：she lives on the ground floor，while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters．

Four years ago they all moved into a three﹣storey Victorian house in Bristol ﹣ one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof．They share a front door and a washing machine，but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen，bathroom，bedroom and living room on the ground floor．

"We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house，" says Kathryn Whitehead．Rita cuts in："We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother﹣in﹣law．"

And what does Nick think？ "From my standpoint，it all seems to work very well．Would I recommend it？ Yes，I think I would．"

It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him，but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time．Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325，000 in 2001 to 419，000 in 2013．

Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common．Some people live with their elderly parents；many more adult children are returning to the family home，if they ever left．It is said that about 20% of 25﹣34﹣year﹣olds live with their parents，compared with 16% in 1991．The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million．

Stories like that are more common in parts of the world，where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted．In India，particularly outside cities，young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married．

（1）Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol？

A．	Nick．
B．	Rita．
C．	Kathryn．
D．	The daughters．

（2）What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother﹣in﹣law？

A．	Positive．
B．	Carefree．
C．	Tolerant．
D．	Unwilling．

（3）What is the author's statement about multigenerational family based on？

A．	Family traditions．
B．	Financial reports．
C．	Published statistics．
D．	Public opinions．

（4）What is the text mainly about？

A．	Lifestyles in different countries．
B．	Conflicts between generations．
C．	A housing problem in Britain．
D．	A rising trend of living in the UK．
