16、tion of the reunion. The next year my husband and I decided to arrange for our first reunion. I hoped the rest of the family would agree. Although we were close, we had our troubles.

17、 never spoke again.Then, to my surprise, Gina called. She and my brother would be arriving in New York a day early to attend a meeting. “Can you join us in the city for dinner?” she asked. I thought about all the last-minute errands (差事) I had to do and said, “I dont have time.” Gina hung up. As usu
18、al, she had taken my refusal personally. That night I couldnt sleep.

CAccording to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and eating habits of our eating companions can influence our
22、food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), its the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid. To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the
23、first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to 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. B
24、ut 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 (仿效), taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more wh
25、en 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
26、. The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when were making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “Ill have what shes having” effect. However, well adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, Ill hol
27、d back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, Ill follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why cant I?28. What is the recent study mainly about? A. Food safety. B. Movie viewership. C. Consumer demand. D. Eating behavior. 29. What does the underl
28、ined word beanpoles in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Big eaters.B. Overweight persons. C. Picky eaters. D. Tall thin persons. 30. 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 i
29、n the two tests. D. To study why she could keep her weight down. 31. 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 observe others.D. How we feel about the food. DOn plenty of drives with my mom through my childhood,
30、 she would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle (甲虫) from tragedy (灾难) while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.Though Mothers Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has b
31、een “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard.
32、 She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in
33、 the garden. I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize,
34、 because I was taught so well by example. Mom didnt need to lecture; she didnt need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct (直觉) for protection.I am slowing down and it isnt because of the weight of my nearl
35、y forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. Ive begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in
36、 my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with sweetness. I immediately wanted to share with my mom.32Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mothers Day?ABecause Mothers Day f
37、alls shortly after Earth Day.BTo show that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.CTo show how much her mother cares about the environment.DBecause her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mothers Day.33Which of the following has no relationship with Moms “green life”?AR
38、escuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.BSaving glass jars or empty cheese containers.CSetting a caught spider free in the garden.DPicking dandelions on busy streets.34What can be learned from the last paragraph?ATomatoes are the authors favorite fruit.BIt is her mother who taught the author to plan
39、t tomatoes.CPlanting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.DThe author really appreciates her mothers teaching.35The writers attitude towards her moms behavior changed in the order of _.Aunderstandingnegativesupporting BsupportingdoubtfulnegativeCnegativeunderstandingsupporting Ddoubtfulnegati
