Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular _24_ two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables plays-well-with-others
14、qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, _25_ (employ) ever after in life and work. Then theres the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.Enviable as the cool kids may have seeme
15、d, Dr. Prinsteins studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “_26_ (likely) to engage in dangerous and risky behavior.”In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescent

But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that _28_ likability can lead
17、 to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.”In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion _29_ not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. “_30_ (like) creates opportunities
18、for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said.

However, there is increasing interest in sending new missions -both robotic and manned -into space. But unlike in the past, this renewed interest is not _31_ being dri

Instead, _32_ companies are leading todays new age of space exploration.For example, SpaceX, a private company, sent an unmanned rocket to the International Space Station (ISS )in early 2012. Until now, astronauts and supplies from the U. S. have been _33_ by space shuttl

Robots will have to

They are _36_ millions into research, hoping to create tools that will make space mining possible. “This i

34、t of food can make you sick. Lots of kids have food allergies - about three million in the United States alone.The foods that cause the most food allergies include peanuts and other nuts; seafood, such as shrimp; milk, particularly cows milk; eggs; wheat.What Is a Food Allergy?Food allergies occur w
35、hen your immune system makes a mistake. Usually, your immune system protects you from germs and disease. It does this by making antibodies that help you fight off bacteria, viruses, and other tiny organisms that can make you sick. But if you have a food allergy, your immune system mistakenly treats
36、something in a certain food as if its really dangerous to you.Whats a Reaction Like?In the most serious cases, a food allergy can cause a sudden, severe allergic reaction, in which several problems occur all at once and can involve the skin, breathing, digestion, the heart and others. A persons bloo
37、d pressure can drop, breathing tubes can narrow and the tongue can swell. People at risk for this kind of reaction have to be very careful and need a plan for handling emergencies, when they might need to get special medicine to stop these symptoms from getting worse.What Will the Doctor Do?If you t
38、hink you may be allergic to a certain food, let your parents know. They will take you to the doctor to get it checked out. If your doctor thinks you might have a food allergy, he or she will probably send you to see a doctor who specializes in allergies. The allergy specialist will ask you about pas
39、t reactions and how long it takes between eating the food and getting the symptom, such as hives. The allergist also may ask about whether anyone else in your family has allergies or other allergyrelated conditions. The allergist may also want to do a skin test. This is a way of seeing how your body
40、 reacts to a very small amount of the food that is giving you trouble.56.According to the passage, you will have a food allergy when your immune system _. A.recognizes tiny organisms in a certain foodB.mistakenly makes antibodies to help fight off something in a certain foodC.prevents something harm
41、ful in the food from entering your digestive systemD.releases chemicals to remove harmful things in a certain food57.Which of the following suggestions is given to those at risk of a severe allergic reaction?A.Taking medicine as soon as an allergic reaction appears.B.Avoiding eating any food when go
42、ing outside.C.Always carrying with special medicine for possible symptoms.D.Preparing a plan for dealing with emergencies ahead of time.58.What will an allergist do to check your food allergy out?A.Ask you about past reactions and other allergy-related conditions.B.Give you a test to see whether you
43、 have breathing difficulty or not.C.Enquire about your present feeling towards the food.D.Give you a shot in the arm to see how soon your body will react to a certain food.(B)We hear Have a nice day! every day and everywhere. It may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend M
44、axie 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 nice day. Next! This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl in the supermarket who is rushing me and my groc
45、eries out of the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, 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 oth
46、er. 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. 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
47、 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 social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the wai
48、tress, 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 they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is
49、 always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like. 59. How does the writer understand Maxies words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the writer.B. Maxie really wishes the writer a good day.C. Maxie encourages the writer to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the writers se
50、curity.60. What does the sentence “The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure” in Paragraph 2 imply?A. The salesgirl is getting bored.B The salesgirl behaves rudely to me. C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.61. By saying Have a nice day, the
51、stranger may _.A. try to be good to you B. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you62. According to the passage, people say Have a nice day” _.A. as a heart-warming greeting to someoneB. as a generally accepted behavior in the society C. as a polite ending of a
52、 conversationD. as an expression of gratitude to someone(C)A new commodity brings about a highly profitable，fast-growing industry，urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flowA century ago，the resource in question was oilNow similar concerns are being raised by the g
53、iants that deal in data，the oil of the digital ageThe most valuable firms are Google，Amazon，Facebook and MicrosoftAll look unstoppableSuch situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken upBut size alone is not a crime，The giantssuccess has benefited consumersFew want to live without s
54、earch engines or a quick delivery，Far from charging consumers high prices，many of these services are free （users pay，in effect，by handing over yet more data）And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves，tooBut there is cause for concernThe internet has made data abunda
55、nt，all-present and far more valuable，changing the nature of data and competitionGoogle initially used the data collected from users to target advertising betterBut recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services：translation and visual recognition，to be sold to other companiesInt
56、ernet companies control of data gives them enormous powerSo they have aGods eye viewof activities in their own markets and beyond This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less usefulBreaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves：in time，one
57、of them would become great againA rethink is required-and as a new approach starts to become apparent，two ideas stand out The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st centuryWhen considering a merger，for example，they have traditionally used size to deter
58、mine when to step inThey now need to take into account the extent of firms data assets when assessing the impact of dealsThe purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threatWhen this takes place，especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak o
59、f，the regulators should raise red flags The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those who supply themCompanies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how much money they make from itGovernments could order
60、the sharing of certain kinds of data，with users permission Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easyBut if governments dont want a data economy controlled by a few giants，they must act soon63Why is there a call to break up giants？AThey have controlled the data marketBThey collect
61、 enormous private dataCThey no longer provide free servicesDThey dismissed some new-born giants64What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate？AData giants technology is of great service to the modern society.BData giants technology represents an enormous threats to users and consum

65、o yup because young people have little motivation in pursuing a high education.D. Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school.E. Some observers sa

Intelligent people may earn quicker if they dont go to college.The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says convent
67、ional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who dont go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are att

Others b

But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, eit

Perhaps college doesnt make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn thingsmay it is just the other way around, an
71、d intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. _70_ This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is b
72、eginning to mount up.VII SummaryReading the Signs71 Most experts agree that it only takes between 90 seconds and four minutes to decide what we think about someone. And in fact, 80% of the time, we reach a conclusion about someone based on body language, before that person has even opened their mout
73、h! Of course, what you say later will matter, and this is your responsibility. However, you do need to get the body language right straight away or people wont stay around long enough to find out how fascinating you really are!Many gestures, such as how you say yesorno”, originate from a specific co
74、untry, but others are universal. For example, all people wrinkle their noses and raise their top lip to show dislike or criticism. Everyone knows what a smile is, too, and when youre only pretending to smile. This is because muscles around the eyes are linked to the emotional part of your brain, so
75、they only work when you really mean it. There are also signals to tell us whether someone is attracted to us. This preference is shown by enlarged pupils and they will blink more often. Admirers will also mirror your behaviour, often unconsciously. So if you lean forward or take a sip of a drink, yo
76、u will find that they will do the same. However, there is another gesture we are probably unaware of, but which is used by every culture on Earth and which some experts claim is the most instantly recognisable non-verbal human greeting. When we first see someone we find attractive, our eyebrows rise
77、 and fall and if they feel the same, they raise their eyebrows, too. Its not surprising if you have never noticed this, since the whole process only lasts about a fifth of a second!However, dont make judgements about people on just one thing! Look for at least four signals. Sitting with their arms c
