21、从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。A“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a
22、 nice day. Next!” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out of the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调)with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is t
23、he managements attempt to increase business. The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say. “
24、oh, you just had a tooth out? Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless
25、social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to know the
26、y care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.56How does the author understand Maxies word?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie

30、ezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is v
31、ery important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February. Dcotors dont agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in
32、which the bodys temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. The Polar Bears
33、themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A p
34、erson who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming. The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,When I go into water,I pour my

39、on who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals.

Someon
40、e who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air who can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the groun
41、d. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called mon sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in t
42、he clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. Bu
43、t the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth.

47、the cloudsDMONTREAL(Reuters)-Crossing the US-Canada border(边界) to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $10,000 for breaking Washingtons strict new security(安全)rules. The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-doze
48、n people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they stop, eat and go to church.There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and US-which in some cases actu
49、ally runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs(海关)station in this area is closed on Sundays ,so he just drove around the locke

51、s to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May.

60、读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。In a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people highly value individualismthe differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the equalities that make each student special. The edu
61、cational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, by contr
62、ast, the people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignmen
63、ts. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules and information that they have memorized.There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For
64、 example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a
65、society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the memorized information.The advantage of the educational system in North America, on t
66、he other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage.
