In the home there is an obvi
24、ous need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cant be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal a
25、nd paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy.

The hotel workers received him and telepho
30、ned the manager, for they had never seen a bicycle in the hotel hall before though they lived in “the kingdom of bicycles.” Robert Friedlander, an American, arrived in Xian on his bicycle trip across Asia which started last December in New Delhi, India. When he was 11, he read the book Marco Polo an
31、d made up his mind to visit the Silk Road. Now, after 44 years, he was on the Silk Road in Xian and his early dreams were coming true. Robert Friedlanders next destinations (目的地) were Lanzhou, Dunhuang, Urumqi, etc. He will complete his trip in Pakistan.41. The best title for this newspaper article
32、would be . A. The Kingdom of Bicycles B. A Beautiful Hotel in Xian C. Marco Polo and the Silk Road D. An American Achieving His Aims 42. The hotel workers told the manager about Friedlander coming to the hotel because . A. he asked to see the manager B. he entered the hall with a bikeks5u C. the man
33、ager had to know about all foreign guests D. the manager knew about his trip and was expecting him43. Friedlander is visiting the three countries in the following order: A.

34、ade Friedlander want to come to China? A. The stories about Marco Polo.B. The famous sights in Xian. C. His interest in Chinese silk. D. His childhood dreams about bicycles.45. Friedlander can be said to be . A. clever B. friendly C. hardworking D. strong-mindedCWhile IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tell
35、s you how smart you are, EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted. Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future s
36、uccesses, a persons brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a persons character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ
37、. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life. For a long time, researchers discussed if a persons IQ could be raised.
38、 The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a persons EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication.Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior hig
39、h school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities
40、 and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.46. According
41、to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?A. How a person tests his / her brainpower.B. A persons character. C. How smart a person is. D. A persons IQ.47. The second paragraph tells us that . A. people who have a high IQ always have
42、a high EQB. EQ is the opposite of IQC. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard lifeD. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ 48. What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?A. Students with disabilities were not open in tryin
43、g new things.B. There was no change in the normal students.C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.49. Which of the following is the writers attitude toward EQ and IQ?A. IQ is more helpful to people than
44、 EQ.B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.C. EQ can get people hired.D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.50. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A. A persons brainpower.B. IQ, EQ and success.C. IQ and a persons character.D. A person
45、s IQ and EQ.DIt is not only experts in China who are arguing over whether women should work after marriage or not. Worldwide this question is being discussed as an interestingly large number of married women enter the workplace.Take the United States for example. Since 1960, the percentage of marrie
46、d women in the work force has jumped from 31.9 percent to 59.4 percent. American women first moved into the paid labour force during the World War II, when men left their jobs to fight. In the last fifty years, more and more women have worked outside the home. And over these years of developing, Ame
47、ricans have changed their social values as a result. In 1975, women aged 35 and above made up half of all working women. And by 1980, 60 percent were women at the age of 45 and above. Now in Japan, womens work group is M-shaped with middle-aged women and those aged 20-25 at the two peaks. According
48、to statistics，37.7 percent of Japanese women at childbearing age(25-29) still engaged themselves in work in 1980. and the number reached 50 percent the next year. Being a housewife has always been regarded as a “graceful occupation” in Japan. Some young Japanese women believe it is good to be a “ pr
49、ofessional housewife”. ks5uHowever, old attitudes have been changing everywhere, and sometimes just out of economic necessity. In recent years, a great number of city housewives have poured out of homes to take part time jobs. Even the UN has given its support. The 34th Congress of the United Nation
50、s in 1979 put forward the decision for formal agreement on the getting rid of discrimination against women. So far, most UN members have agreed on it, but some still havent, including the United States.51. From the first passage, we can learn that _.A. experts encourage women to take paying jobsB. m
