Joseph looked at the farmhouse that was now supposed to be his home. As he finished the last 35 , he noticed something metal shining in the rosy late-afternoon sunlight. He picked it up: a rusty old 36 . He put it in his pocket and walked down the hill. ‎ Grandpa passed away last year, leaving the house and farm to his mother.

Joseph had been very 38 about leaving his friends and his school. ‎ In the city, dinnertime had always been an opportunity for conversation between Joseph and his mother.

He didn’t mean to lose it. But he dropped it out somewhere. We searched and searched but 45 found it.” ‎ Joseph sat down beside her and handed the rusty key to her.‎ Suddenly his mother’s eyes sparkled. With trembling hands, she wound up (转动) the music box. As its sweet melody played, mother and son listened together. ‎ ‎“It has been silent for a long, long time,” she said. ‎ ‎“It’s so clear!” said Joseph. “It sounds as good as new.” The silence had been 46 . ‎ 10‎ ‎35.

Lucy took it up and threw it into the air, but her brother didn’t pay attention and ran off, so the kite fell down. “Try again, children,” I said.‎ Lucy once more took up the kite. But John ran off so suddenly that the kite flew out of her hand and it fell flat as before. “Try again,” said I.‎ They did, and with more care, but a side wind came suddenly. As Lucy let go the kite, it was blown against some bushes and the tail was caught. Meanwhile, I went to the kite’s assistance and set the tail free from the bushes. I told them to find a more open area and then try again. ‎ We found an open area. I threw the kite up as John ran off. It rose up and promised a high flight. But John was so pleased that he stopped short to look upward. The string became loose. The kite shook and came down to the ground. “I won’t try anymore. The kite won’t fly. ” said he angrily. I replied, “A few disappointments are not supposed to discourage us. And now try again.” ‎ And he tried and succeeded, for the kite was carried upward on the breeze as lightly as a feather. After enjoying the sight as long as he excited, John began to roll up the string slowly. “Shall we come out tomorrow and try again.”‎ I smiled, “Yes, dear children. I wish to teach you the value of keeping trying. Whenever you fail, remember – TRY AGAIN!” ‎ ‎50. How many times did they fly the kite?‎ ‎ A. Five. B. Four. C. Three. D. Six.‎ ‎51.

We read about it in the news, and there's talk of passing laws against trans fats. We are bombarded with the word. Unfortunately, most people don’t know what trans fats truly are and why they are so bad for us. A lot of food production companies want to get your dollars by printing "Trans Fat Free" on their label (标签). Sadly, they may not be telling the truth. ‎ So what is a trans fat really? A trans fat is a liquid (液体) fat that is turned into a solid. Although there are very small amounts of natural trans fats in meat and dairy products, most of them are created by adding hydrogen to liquid fat. Food-makers do this because it makes the product last longer on the shelf. Have you ever wondered why cookies can still be crispy and "tasty" after six months to a year on a store shelf? It's because of trans fats. Trans fats are typically found in things like donuts, French fries, cookies, microwave popcorn, and potato chips.‎ Why are trans fats bad for you? Trans fats raise the bad cholesterol(胆固醇)in your body and lower the good cholesterol that the body needs. Fatty foods do cause overweight. Trans fats build up in the body and block blood flow to the heart. People whose diet contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of heart disease and stroke.‎ Why can the food-makers label trans fat free when it isn't? Because of the way the nutrition labeling laws work, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has allowed that if a food has less than 0.5 grams per serving (一份) it can be classified as trans fat free. Read the label and you may discover that the package actually contains 6 servings, and if you just ate three of them, you might have eaten 1.49 grams of trans fats. ‎ Besides, in most fast food restaurants, ingredient and nutrition information are not listed. You may be shocked if you know what you are eating. An article in Men’s Health magazine pointed that in KFC, hydrogenated(氢化的) oils appeared 91 times among the ingredients from the menu list.‎ How do you really know if there are trans fats in the food you are eating? One way to truly understand what you are eating is to read the label. Another is to understand your ingredients. Anything on the label that says hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, even if the package states "Trans Fat Free", has trans ‎ 10‎ fats in it. You had better not buy that product. Make a different choice, a choice for your health. ‎ ‎53. The expression “are bombarded with” in Paragraph 1 probably means_______.‎ ‎ A. are tired of B. hear much of ‎ C. are connected with D. know clearly about ‎54. Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Trans fats can make food last long and keep people fit.‎ ‎ B. Food-makers use trans fats because they make food delicious. ‎ ‎ C. The amount of trans fat in food is clearly written on the label.‎ ‎ D. Trans fat can be found in the food with package saying trans fat free.‎ ‎55. What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Danger of Eating Trans Fats Food ‎ B. Truths and Facts about Trans Fats ‎ C. Buy Trans Fats Free Products Now!‎ D. Don’t Eat in Fast Food Restaurants!‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎ The “halo effect” is a classic finding in social psychology. It is the idea that general evaluations (评价) about a person (e.g. she is likeable) influence judgments about their specific traits(品质)(e.g. she is intelligent). Hollywood stars give the perfect example. Because they are often attractive and likeable, we naturally consider they are also intelligent, friendly and so on. That is, sometimes, not true.‎ In the 1970s, well-known social psychologist Richard Nisbett set out to prove the fact that we actually pay little attention to our thought processes in general, especially to the halo effect.‎ Nisbett wanted to examine the way students made judgments about teachers. They had been divided into two groups to watch two different videos of the same teacher, who happened to have a strong Indian accent. One group watched the teacher answer a series of questions in an extremely warm and friendly manner. The second group saw exactly the same person answer exactly the questions in a cold and distant manner. In one the teacher appeared to like teaching and students, and in the other he came across as someone powerful who didn’t like teaching at all.‎ After each group of students watched the videos they were asked to evaluate the teacher on physical appearance, mannerisms and even his accent (mannerisms were kept the same across both videos). The same as the halo ‎ 10‎ effect infers, students who saw the “warm” one evaluated him more attractive, his mannerisms more likeable and even his accent as more pleasing. This was unsurprising as it backed up the ideas on the halo effect. At the same time, for those who had seen the other video, the result was just the wrong way around.‎ The surprise is that students had no clue why they gave one teacher higher evaluations. Most said that how much they liked the teacher had not influenced their evaluation of his individual traits at all. ‎ The halo effect is fascinating and now well-used in the business world. For example, books that have “Harvard Classics” written on the front can ask twice the price of the exact same book without it. The same is true in the fashion industry. ‎ So, the next time you consider buying a pair of designer jeans or decide whether you like someone, ask yourself whether the halo effect is operating. Are you really evaluating the traits of the person? This simple check could save you wasting your money or refusing a loyal friend. Or perhaps, even if you do check, you’ll still never know.‎ 56. Why does the author mention Hollywood stars in the first paragraph?‎ A. To help us to evaluate others.‎ B. To explain what the halo effect is.‎ C. To show us the background of the story.‎ D. To tell us Hollywood stars are not truly friendly.‎ ‎57. Which one do you think is NOT an example of the halo effect?‎ A. You make friends with the people who have good judgments.‎ B. You prefer to buy the products advertised by a movie star. ‎ C. You pay more for a simple T-shirt with a famous designer’s name on it.‎ D. You believe your teachers are intelligent because they appear likeable. ‎ ‎58. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. People can do nothing to avoid the halo effect.‎ B. People use the halo effect widely in the business world.‎ C. People often wonder how the halo effect works before shopping.‎ D. People sometimes don’t realize the halo effect when they make judgments.‎ ‎59. The passage is mainly about _____.‎ A. the cause of the halo effect B. the development of the halo effect C. the evaluation of the halo effect D. the influence of the halo effect 10‎ 七、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。(共8分,每小题2分) ‎ ‎ I’ve been singing and performing poetry since I was six years old. I used to sing for my mother’s friends. 60 ‎ I have written three books of poetry and songs. I gave all the money from the books to children’s charities. 61 Money from the second book was spent on homeless children in Bosnia.‎ I visit patients at a local hospital every Saturday morning. I talk and sing for them. I guess that’s what’s really fulfilling (令人满意的) to me, when I sing to someone who is dying, and someone who is really sick and who doesn’t even know what’s happening. 62 ‎ Everyone can give love, and love is what everyone wants. That’s a really important lesson to me. 63 Making someone happy makes you happy, and they go on and make others happy and it’s like a chain. You change when you get older, but love is ageless. When you are 7, 13, or 102 years old, love is the same. ‎ A. Love is a chain of giving.‎ B. But now I am singing for people in need.‎ C. I visit people in the old people’s home.‎ D.

Here are the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising, but they have worked for many people. Try them. ‎ ‎※  Remember your mother's age ‎ As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Knowing our mother’s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better. ‎ ‎※  Listen to your mother ‎ I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are pretty useful. If you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it, it will help your 10‎ ‎ mother feel close to you. ‎ ‎※ Ask your mother about your childhood history. ‎ If you are lucky enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother. ‎ Taking any measure to understand our mother is the topic of how we understand ourselves.
