    19．To Amer ican visitors，Iceland is a very interesting country，partly because it is different in so many ways from he or she is used to seeing at home．There are quite a few things that are not done，or that do not exist on the island-quite a few"No's"．
    There is no pollution，for instance，no dogs are permitted in Reykjavik，the capital．There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July，and only three hours of blackandwhite TV the rest of the time．There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time．There is no handguns； only one jail of thirtyfive cells （狱室） in the entire land-an admirable figure，even for a small country of 313，376 people．
    There is no army，air force or navy．There is no tipping for anything．There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays．Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle，there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter．But thanks to Culf Stream，the climate is rather mild，with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees to 52 degrees in July．
    The rules on television liquor and guns are the result of government decisions．But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground．They provide all the energy needed by the country．In fact，Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power．
    Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world．The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature．They composed their first books in the ninth and tenth centuries AD．These works were poems and tales about the kings，heroes，and heroines of Iceland and Norway．At first，the stories were memoried and passed from generation to generation．They were finally written down between 1140 and 1220．The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since．"Rather shoeless than bookless，"they proudly say．

    28．American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably becauseD．
    A．no dogs are permitted in the capital
    B．the police do not carry handguns
    C．the climate is rather mild
    D．it is very different from Americans
    29．The following statements are true EXCEPTD．
    A．there are no soldiers in Iceland
    B．the Icelanders don't drink beer
    C．there is no tip of any kind
    D．there are no crimes in Iceland
    30．There is no pollution in Iceland mainly becauseB．
    A．Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power
    B．the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energy
    C．it is located just under the Arctic Circle
    D．it is a democratic independent country
    31．"Rather shoeless than bookless"meansD．
    A．they prefer not to have shoe or books
    B．they would rather have shoes on than write books
    C．they prefer travelling to reading
    D．they regard books more important than shoes．

    13．Sometimes ideas do not appear when you are concentrating your attention and mysteriously appear when you are not．Modern science recognizes this as a result of incubating（酝酿） the problem in your subconscious（潜意识），yet can't account for why it occurs．
    When you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it，your subconscious mind doesn't quit working．Your thoughts keep making associations（联想，联系）．This is why you've experienced suddenly remembering names，getting solutions to problems you've forgotten about，and ideas out of the blue when you are relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing．
    You may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it．Now let go of the problem．Don't work on it．Forget it．Do something else．This is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness，in your unconsciousness．Open the letter in two days．The answer might magically pop into your mind．
    An advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign．Bert，the creative director，wrote the following letter which he addressed to his subconscious mind．
    Secret Expert，
    I need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of television shows．I'm interested in some kind of campaign that will capture the audience's attention more than one time．Is there something people need that we can advertise on？What kind of products，foods and services should we investigate？I need your idea about a fresh approach to advertising．
    Thanks，Bert
    Bert mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written，he got his brainstorm，which was to advertise on"eggs"．Somehow an association between"foods"，"need"and"fresh approach"inspired the thought of using"fresh eggs to advertise．"He arranged to put the ad for the television shows on eggs-some thirty million．
    The consumers look at a single egg at least a few times，when they buy the eggs at the store，when they transfer（转移，传递，转送） them to the refrigerator，and when they crack them open．It's unlike any other ad medium in the world，because you're looking at it while you are using it．

    32．You remember names though you are not thinking about them because your subconscious mindB．
    A．stops working
    B．is still working
    C．is full of names
    D．improves your memory
    33．During the incubation stage，your focused awarenessA．
    A．doesn't work
    B．controls your thoughts
    C．waits for an answer
    D．leads to you being unconsciousA
    34．Which of the following was included in Bert's letter to his subconscious mind？
    A．What he wanted it to do．
    B．When he would need its help．
    C．What product could be advertised．
    D．How the solution could be found．
    35．In what way did the ad put on eggs help？D
    A．It greatly increased the sales of eggs．
    B．It helped Bert to get a brainstorm．
    C．It made sure that consumers could get fresh eggs．
    D．It made the TV shows known to people repeatedly．

    20．Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity （名人） chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver，according to a report from Oxford University．
    The effect of the celebrity role models，who have given cooking a ore manly picture，has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spendmore than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961．
    According to the research by Prof．Jonatahn Gershny，who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford，men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking，up from just 12minutes a day in 1961．
    Prof．Gershuny said，"The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend．There has been 40years of sexual equality，but there is another 40years probably to come．"
    Women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now spend just one hour and seven mnutes-a great fall，but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men．
    Some experts have named these men in aprons as"Gastrosexuals （men using cooking skills to impress friends）"，who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay，Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall，Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd．
    "I was married in 1974．When my father came to visit me a few weeks later，I was wearing an apron when I opened the door．He laughed，"said Prof．Gershuny．"That would never happen now．"
    Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week，even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table．Prof．Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table-with many"family meals"in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room，and shared by family members．"The family meal has changed a lot，and few of us eat-as I did when I was a child-at least two meals a day together as a family．But it has survived in a different format．"

    21．What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before？D
    A．The improvement of coks'status．
    B．The influence of popular female chefs．
    C．The change of female's view on cooking．
    D．The development of sexual equality campaign．
    22．What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking？B
    A．Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays．
    B．Women spend much less time on cooking than before．
    C．It will take 40years before men spend more time at the stove than women．
    D．There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961．
    23．How did Prof．Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage？B
    A．It has become a thing of the past．
    B．It is very different from what it used to be．
    C．It shouldn't be advocated in modern times．
    D．It is beneficial to the stability of the family．
    24．Which is the best title for the passage？C
    A．The Changes of Family Meals
    B．Equality between Men and Women
    C．Cooking into a New Trend for Men
    D．Cooking-a Thing of the Past for Women．
