Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She'd watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep, there'd be a cold drink waiting. I'd sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, "Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning." she'd say. The first time she said that, soda went up my nose. I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she'd work it out of her system. So that's what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery. I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser. She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she'd had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on. I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I'm doing. When I don't say "fine", she sticks around to hear my problems. She's lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you're doing because they care, and not because they're getting paid to do so. Sometimes it's good to just smile, nod your head and listen. 21. Why did soda go up the author's nose one time? A. He was talking fast. B. He was shocked. C. He was in a hurry. D. He was absent-minded. 22. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3? A. He enjoyed the drink. B. He wanted to be helpful. C. He took the chance to rest. D. He tried to please his dad. 23. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "worked it our of her system"? A. recover from her sadness B. move out of the neighborhood C. turn to her old friends D. speak out about her past 24. What does the author think people in a community should do? A. Open up to others. B. Depend on each other. C. Pay for other's help. D. Care about one another. B It's surprising how much simple movement of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights. So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We're all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive performance or is it just a feeling? Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people's powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail. What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren't. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test(one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect "enclothed cognition," suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways. This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef's hat make the restaurant food taste better? From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown(学位服). 25. What is the main idea of the text? A. Body movements change the way people think. B. How people dress has an influence on their feelings. C. What people wear can affect their cognitive performance. D. People doing different jobs should wear different clothes. 26. Adam and Galinsky's experiment tested the effect of clothes on their wearers'______. A. insights B. movements C. attention D. appearance 27. How does the author sound in the last paragraph? A. Academic. B. Humorous. C. Formal. D. Hopeful. C At first sight, Elana Schlenker’s pop-up store, Less Than 100, which was open in Pittsburgh during the month of April appeared just like any other gift store. However, when shoppers went to pay, they were in for a surprise. That's because while men paid full price, women received a 24% discount. Though that may appear to be blatant (公然的) discrimination, Elana was merely obeying the store’s slogan “pay what you are paid”. And since women in the US get paid an average of 76 cents for every dollar men earn for the same job, it is only fair that they pay less. As the store’s pricing policy was not enough to get the message across, Elana also distributed pamphlets(小册子). Entitled “What Are Women Worth?”, it explained the status of the wage gap both in Pennsylvania and across the country, and also gave women tips on how to better negotiate salaries. A 2015 study conducted by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research found that although the rate of women’s income has been rising, men still earn more in every state in the country. Though the Less Than 100 project will not resolve the wage inequality, it is a thought-provoking way to bring to the forefront an issue that is increasingly causing a lot of worry among women. Fortunately, Elana is not the only one trying to change the unfair system. Ellen Pao, appointed as the temporary CEO of Reddit, recently announced that new employees would be forbidden from negotiating salaries. She believes that men are better negotiators than women, and therefore, tend to receive higher wages! What’s encouraging is that male CEOs are also joining the fight! Earlier this month, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff launched a company wide program to address the issue. Called “Women Surge” it aims to remove all gender-based pay inequalities, hire and promote more women and ensure that they are better included in meetings! With all these visionaries taking the lead, it will not be long before gender pay inequality is something we will only read about in history books! 28. Men had to pay more at Less Than 100 probably because _______. A. the shop was operated by a young woman B. they received more salary than women C. the gifts in the store were very expensive D. the owner of the shop didn’t like men at all 29. Elana handed out pamphlets to _______. A. sell more goods in the store B. seek more support from others C. teach women to ask for more salary D. beg for the customers’ forgiveness 30. Ellen Pao may agree that_______. A. the wage system should be reformed B. Elana does well in her jo C. women don’t care about salary at all D. men should get more salary than women 31. What is the author’s attitude towards pay equality between men and women? A. doubtful B. negative C. unsure D. hopeful D Traffic jam and cities, it seems, go hand in hand. Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic; but, like the weather, no one seems to do anything about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve traffic jam. But is traffic jam a sign of failure? Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that traffic jam is an unpreventable by-product of successful cities, and view the "traffic problem" in a different light. Cities exist because they promote social interactions and economic transactions (交易) . Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities don't have much traffic. New York and Los Angeles are America's most crowded cities. But if you want access to major stock markets, you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your firm needs access to satellite-guidance engineers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere. Despite traffic jam, a larger number and wider variety of social interactions and economic transactions can be made perfect in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, traffic jam is an unfortunate consequence of prosperity, not a cause of economic decline and urban decay. So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities, the costs of inaccessibility in uncrowded places are almost certainly greater. There is no doubt that traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. That's why, for now, we don't see people streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for cities like Phoenix, and Cleveland. 32. We can conclude from the first paragraph that _________. A. traffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of a big city B. traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal with C. if traffic engineers try their best, traffic jam can be solved D. public officials are always criticized for misusing their power 33. According to the passage, what's the author's opinion towards traffic jam? A. Traffic jam is unavoidable in large cities. B. Traffic jam is both a sign of success and a sign of failure. C. Traffic jam is the consequence of successful cities. D. Traffic jam is not unpreventable for a successful city. 34. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Crowded cities tend to promote economic transactions. B. New York and Los Angeles have less limited spaces than other cities. C. The satellite-guidance engineers are needed most by the firms in LA. D. Despite the traffic jam in LA, it's easier to reach your destination than in other cities. 35. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Traffic jam has caused terrible bad effects in cities such as Bangkok and Lagos. B. The traffic jam in San Francisco has resulted in the city becoming empty. C. The traffic jam level in Chicago is lower than that in Cleveland. D. Phoenix is as crowded and successful as San Francisco. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Remember What You Read Reading is important.
