In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get in
28、volved.“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping. Why should
29、I be the one? Im probably not the most competent（有能力的） person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. What if he doesnt really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. No
30、 one else looks concerned- this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychol
31、ogist. “Then retry to involve other people; you dont have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes its just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, It looks like we should do something. Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call f
32、or one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”56Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?AIm not the very person capable of setting the problem.BIt looks like we should do something.CIt must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.DHe doesnt really need my
33、 help.57According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?AThey will call for help and then walk away.BThey will stop and offer help.CThey will turn away their eyes and go on walking.DThey will laugh at him.58We learn from the last paragraph th
34、at if we spot trouble, Awe should call the ambulance as soon as we can.Bwe should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone.Cwe should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow.Dwe should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility59In orde
35、r to offer others your timely help, you need to Aask others for help and call the policeBget along well with the passers-by who spot the troubleCgo directly to the police stationDwork against the first thoughts that prevent you offering help60The main purpose of the text is to tell readers Ato give
36、others a handBto be more competentCnot to risk looking foolishDto stop and evaluate the situationBWould you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What cant you be bothered to do?A study into how lazy Bri
37、tish people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy theyd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britains largest health charity. The results were astonishing.About one in six people surveyed
38、 said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.This led t
39、he report to conclude that its no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and
40、 evidently their pets too. If we dont start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks.And Scotlands largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough
41、exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every
42、 year. 61What causes children in the UK to be obese? AEating ready meal BWatching TVCDoing Internet shopping DBeing lazy62What can be inferred from the passage? ABritish people are too lazy to do anything.BInternet shopping will do harm to your health.CMany people would not run to catch a bus in Bri
43、tain.DPeople should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.63Which of the following is Not true according to the passage? AOne sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV.BPeople will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.CFatness can cause disea
44、ses such as heart disease and cancer.DMore people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago.64What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?Abasic Bserious Cvital Dhard65All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK except _.

45、hamptonCA 17-year-old boy，caught sending text messages in class，was recently sent to the vice principals office. The vice principal，Steve Gallagher，told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher，not his cellphone. The boy listened politely and nodded，and thats when Mr. Gallagher noticed the students
46、 fingers moving on his lap. He was testing while being scolded for texting. It was a subconscious act， says Mr. Gallagher，who took the phone away. Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they colse their eyes at night. Its compulsive.A stud
47、y this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Ga., found that the more time young people spend on Facebook，the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits. Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable，but they are also more likely to be a
48、nxious，hostile or depressed. (Doctors, meanwhile, are now laming addictions to night texting for disturbing the sleep patterns of teens.)Almost a quarter of todays teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day，according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit group that monitors medias i
49、mpact on families. Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force，or will employers come to see texting and socialnetwork checking as accepted parts of the workday? Think back, When todays older workers were in their 20s,they might have taken a break on the job to call
50、friends and make after-work plans. In those earlier eras, companies discouraged non-business-related calls, and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired. It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today. Educators a
51、re also being asked by parents，students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules. In past generations，students got in trouble for passing notes in class. Now students are good at texting with their phones still in their pockets， says 40-year-old Mr. Gallagher, the vice principal, and th
52、eyre able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over. Students are just fundamentally different today. They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones.66The underlined word a subconscious act in the first paragraph refers to an act .Aon purpose Bwithout realizationCin
