When my friend Maxie s
14、ays “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!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries o
15、ut the door. The words came 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 the managements attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.
16、Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting 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 nice
17、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 insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, th
18、e teacher, and 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 always spoke
19、n The point is that people say it all the time when they like.26. How does the author understand Maxies words? 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. Wh
20、at does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl 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
21、to youD. share his pleasure with you29. According to the last paragraph, people say“Have a nice day”_.A. sincerelyB. 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
22、GreetingD. Have a Nice Daya Polite Ending of a Conversation BI have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the babys point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of
23、where a babys blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just
24、 unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. Ive never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldnt follow a t
25、imetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding . The research finds out tha
26、t babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7 , 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10,4
27、19 children born in the early 1990s,taking account of parental education, family income, a childs sex and age, the mothers health and feeling style. These results dont surprise me. Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood
28、sugar levels. I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.31. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels_.A. sick B. upset C. sleepy D. hungry32. What does the author think about Dr King?A. He is strictB. He is unkindC. He has
29、the wrong idea.D. He sets a timetable for mothers33. The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.A. basic B. reliable C. surprising D. interesting34. What does the research tell us about feeling a baby on demand?A. The baby will sleep well.B. The baby will have its brain harme
30、d.C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35. The author supports feeling the baby_.A. in the nightB. every four hoursC. whenever it wants foodD. according to its blood sugar levelCI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused
31、 to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldnt bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on t
32、heir brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something,“Im awfully sorry,”I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. Whe
33、n it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldnt stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was
34、there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pr
35、ide and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of m
36、yself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.36. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_.A. she might be recognizedB. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being f
37、ond blind was embarrassing37. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something38. At the request stop that evening, the girl_.A. stopped a big lorryB. stopped the wrong busC .made no attempt to stop the b
38、usD. was not noticed by other people39. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.40. Finally the
39、 girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping _.A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereD Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television comp
40、anies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoonsthe slowest time periods of th
41、e week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normal
42、ly would be dead time for programming. Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attra
43、ct made viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance. Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings(收视率)are unusually lo
44、w. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business manage
45、rs. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars. business and personal computer, and holiday trips .This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings.
