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 sin
13、ce another person cares about me and wishes me well.Have a nice day, next! this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obvious
14、ly, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes in indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the exp
15、ressions save us when we dont know what to say. Oh, you just had a tooth out? I am terrible sorry, but have a nice day. ks5uThe 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
16、use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that its 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
17、strange and comfortable way. its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, its always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.26. How does the author understand Maxies words?
18、A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the authors security.27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The sa
19、lesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.28.By saying“Have a nice day,”a stranger may _.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you29.According to the last paragraph, people say“Have a nice day”_.A. sincerely
20、B. as thanksC. as a habitD. encouragingly30. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Daya Social CustomB. Have a Nice Daya Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Daya Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Daya Polite Ending of a Conversation BWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying t
21、o say，”Well,its so-and-sos fault.”or “I know Im late，but its not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. H
22、owever,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to
23、have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsib
24、ility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to wo
25、rk successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations t
26、o face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.31. According to t
27、he passage, winners . A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather that others32.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improveD. consider
28、33.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help34. When problems occur, winners take them as A. excuses for their failures
29、B. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD.chances for self-development35 Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Winners Secret.B. A Winners Problem.C. A Winners Opportunity.D. A Winners Achievement. COne-hundred-and seventh birthdays arent usually celebra
30、ted for authors who arent alive anymore. But Theodor Seuss Geisel-better known as the childrens books author Dr. Seuss -who came into the world on 2 March, 1904, was an unusual man.Like generations of children I was raised on his wonderful stories. But when I now read them to my children its not jus
31、t the childhood memories I enjoy. His writing is brilliant and imaginative and flows with a self-confidence as sure as the words of a Shakespeare poem. Readers ride his characteristic rhythm with an effortless joy that cannot be matched by any other modern writer:You have brains in your headYou have
32、 feet in your shoesYou can steer yourself any direction you chooseAnd will you succeed?Yes indeed, yes indeed!Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.Seusss brilliant cartoons and clever words make his books a delight for adults but they appeal most to children of course. His stories teac
33、h kids moral lessons but in indirect and entertaining ways.The first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax, written just as the 60s were becoming the 70s. Seuss was ahead of his time, and in this book the dawn of concern for environmental problems are shown as the Lorax “who speaks for the trees” bat
34、tles against an evil businessman who wants to destroy the forest and make goods “which everyone needs”.Its not only a warning of the heavy price of environmental destruction, written well before most people had thought to worry, but its also a smart analysis of consumer societies: “Unless someone li
35、ke you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not.” This is of course a moral message, but not of the kind designed to persuade the youngsters into behavior that adults want. ks5u I could go on, but hey, its a birthday, and Im sure you folks have some good toasts to raise for t
36、he party36. Whats the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce Dr. Seusss life. B. To analyze Dr. Seusss books. C. To describe Dr. Seusss writing style. D. To celebrate Dr. Seusss achievements.37. Why does the author include Dr. Seusss poem? A. To encourage readers to use their brains and choose the
37、ir own way. B. To give readers a sample of Seusss story The Lorax. C. To provide readers with an example of Seusss writing style. D. To explain how relevant Seusss stories remain today.38. Why do adults also enjoy Seusss books? A. His words and pictures are imaginative enough to be enjoyed by all. B
38、. His books give children obvious moral messages to learn from. C. He writes about adult topics in a way that is understandable to children. D. He was the first person to write about the environment.39. When was the book The Lorax written? A. Early 1960s. B. Early 1970s. C. Late 1960s. D. Late 1970s
39、.40. Which of the following is true about Seuss? A. Many of the issues he discussed attracted greater concern in later years. B. He is widely considered as the twentieth-century Shakespeare. C. His books are more popular now than when they were first published. D. Most readers thought his ideas were
40、 difficult to understand.C The baby monkey is much more developed at brith than the human baby. Almost from the moment it is born,the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large,warm, and soft
41、 object in its environment , particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so , however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother”-the real mother or the mother-substitute(母亲代替物).During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the mos
42、t important psychological(心理的)thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes -one covered with cloth and one make of bare wire. IF the two artificial mothe
43、rs were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after brith the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites. Thereafter they switched an
44、d spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Sometime that the Harlows called contact(接触)comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers skins, putting th
45、emselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire does nt “rub”as well as does soft cloth. Prolonged(长时间)”contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to g
46、ive the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a babys love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they
47、might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother-s
48、ubstitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace (拥抱) as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding o
49、nto its mother”.41. Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life? A. Warmth B. Milk C. contact D. trust42. After the first two weeks of their life, baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is_. ks5u A. larger in size
50、B. closer to them C. less frightening and less disturbing D. more comfortable to rub against43. What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”? A. Attention. B. Softness C. confidence D. interest .44. It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure,_. A.it frequen
51、tly rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys B.it spend more time screaming to get rewards C.it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting D.it cares less about whether its mother is still around 45. The main purpose of the passage is to_. A. give the reasons for the exp

70、e, for compared with those countless unfortunate people in the world, they are living a happy enough life.In my opinion, we shouldnt complain about our life any longer. We are lucky enough to live comfortably and study in bright classrooms compared with a great many people in poor areas.However, as
71、everybody can see, some students are always complaining as if the whole world did them a great wrong. They are not content with what they own. They often complain of too much homework to do, too many exams to take, poor food to eat, other peoples shortcomings to deal with, and poor family. In a word, they feel very stressed and that there is almost nothing that can make them happy.Anyway, I think we should bear in mind that we are students and that we should concentrate on our study rather than complain about our life.
