11、ht from China to London. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten your seat belts. Then, after a while, a calm voice said, “We shall not be serving the drinks at this time as there is going to be something unexpected. Please be sure seat bel
12、t is fastened.” Soon the storm broke out. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air. The plane dropped as if it were about to crash.The minister believed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. As he looked around the plane, he could see that nearly all the p
13、assengers were upset and alarmed. The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm. Then he suddenly saw a little girl. Apparently the storm meant nothing to her. She was reading a book and everything within her small world was calm orderly. Sometimes she clo
14、sed her eyes and then she would read again. Then she would straighten her legs, worry and fear were not in her world. The minister could hardly believe his eyes.It was not surprising therefore that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers hurried to leave, the minister w
15、alked up to the girl he had watched for such a long time. Having commented about the storm and the behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid. The girl replied, “Because my dad is the pilot, and hes taking me home.”21. Why did the staff stop offering drinks? A. The plane was just ta

18、re particularly non-existent. Its nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on a bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, i
19、t is nearly always one from the older generation. This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat
20、race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if its not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for older women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishne
21、ss that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is too often seen. Older people, tired and easy annoyed from a days work, arent angels, eitherfar f
22、rom it. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as they feel tired of pushes in the queue and shove(猛推) each other to get on buses. If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems necessary, not only that communication in transport should be improved, bu
23、t also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. Shop assistant wont bother to assist, taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and s
24、o on. It seems to us that its up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration (恶化).25. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A. A big strong schoolboy never pushes the elderly for a seat on a busB. Young persons are sure to offer seat to the youngC. Older generat
25、ion have better manners than the youngD. Elderly women are often treated politely26. Whats the authors attitude towards the young mens argument about offering seat in public? A. Tolerant B. Doubtful C. Positive D. Negative27. What do we know about older people when they are tired from a days work? A
26、. Older people behave worse unpleasant behaviors B. Older people may also have unpleasant behaviors C. Older people dont like taking buses D. Older people are good at argument and quarrel28. Why does the author write this article? A. To tell us that manners nowadays in big cities are non-existent B.
27、 To scold the persons who have no manners at all C. To warn us of the seriousness of young mens lacking good manners D. To call on the young to improve the situationC While dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately, scientists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to so
28、me researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, we finally have some convincing evidence. For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touchin
29、g the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. Thats because the scientists believe human
30、s show their emotions on their entire face.After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar f
31、ace but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However,
32、once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, thetrepidationseemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer game that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.The researchers also noticed only dogs w
33、ith a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.29.How did the
34、scientists conduct the experiment?A. By mixing the selected dogs together.B. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.C. By showing digital pictures of womens happy or angry faces.D. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.30.Which of the following statements is TRUE abo
35、ut the dogs in the study?A. The dogs were not all provided with the entire face.B. The dogs couldnt read strangers facial emotions.C. According to their size, the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.D. The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.31.The underlined w
36、ord trepidation in Paragraph 5 probably means.A. curiosity B. horror C. excitementD. doubt32. How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?A. They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.B. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entir
37、e face.C. They could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.D. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.DWant to boost the chance of your story being published in Readers Digest and win $ 25,000?
