解答 53-56.DCBA
53题答案:D考查细节推理,根据第三段的Special needs children need to be special somewhere else,"the complaining father reportedly said.(那位抱怨的父亲命令式地说道:特殊需要的孩子需要特殊的地方)可知在服务员已经为这家人换位置后这家人还是不依不饶,要求孩子离开餐馆;因此可知这家人不为他人考虑,很自私.故本题答案为D选项.
54题答案:C考查细节推理,根据文章第三段的Special needs children need to be special somewhere else.(特殊需要的孩子需要到别的特殊的地方去)可知本题答案为C选项.注意:题干问的是"推测",B选项是已知事实,故不可选.
55题答案:B考查细节推理,根据后面的"My personal feelings took over,"he said,leading him to tell the father."Sir,I won't be able to serve you."(他说:我的个人感受占据了我.导致他告诉这位父亲:先生,我们不会为你服务.)可知划线部分的意思是"做自己认为对的事情",故本题答案为B选项.
56题答案:A考查细节推理,根据文章第五段的The restaurant's Facebook page has received praise from people in Texas and beyond.这家餐馆的脸书已经收到了来自德克萨斯州和其它地方人们的赞扬.可知脸书这一网络中的很多用户可能做过像Garcia一样为患有这种疾病的人"撑腰"的事情(不然他们怎么会赞扬Garcia的行为呢?),故本题答案为A选项.

Sure,the volunteers work hard,but they also get to enjoy the beauty of their town.Better yet,they feel proud of themselves for making their town a better place to live.
So what are the people of Albertsville waiting for?Talk to people in your school,church,or club about adopting part of a street or road.Then get to work!If enough volunteer groups get busy,Albertsville really will shine this spring.

2.Imagine watching a movie,and seated beside you is someone who's texting(发短信) every 10minutes.It is the most annoying movie experience one can have.Even if the mobile phone is silent,its intermittent( 间歇的) flashes of light are extremely bothersome.Maybe texting once is tolerable(过的去的),more than that means you're not being considerate(体贴的) of others.
Manners are exactly that:basic consideration of those around you.
It's in the movie theater where you see a mix of different personalities,and you don't even have to speak to them,not like at a party.It's where you see how people behave,and most people act as if there is no one else in the movie theater except them.
For instance,the food people bring in.Again,popcorn,nachos(墨西哥玉米片),chips and a drink are standard movie food.What do they have in common?None of them smells.Okay,so buttered popcorn smells,but it smells nice.A burger loaded with onions or fried chicken or even pizza does not smell anywhere near good.So next time,please observe food choices; consider the smell as well.
Getting out of the theater is another thing altogether.Please allow the people in front of you to go ahead of you in moving out of their seats to the aisle.If there is space,you can move forward.Believe it or not,jostling(推撞) happens everywhere,even in supposedly high-end theatre.
Please don't kick the chair in front of you.When you kick the chair in front of you,it bothers the person seated on it.
Lastly,though a little embarrassing,do not remove your shoes in the movie house.Will people ever know it?Yes,by the smell.
Next time you go and enjoy a movie,kindly be considerate to those around you so that they,too,can enjoy the movie.

71.Keeping good manners can be defined asC.
A.keeping silence when seeing film
B.not eating any food
C.showing consideration to others
D.not texting when seeing film
72.Why is silencing your mobile phone not enough when watching a movie?A
A.Because other behavious are also troublesome.
B.Because chatting with each other is also troublesome.
C.Because keeping texting is also troublesome.
D.Because the smell of food is also troublesome.
73.What's in common about the food allowed to be taken to a movie theatre?D
A.The food smells good.
B.The food are not expensive.
C.The food are easy to carry.
D.None of the food smells.
74.When getting out of theatre,one shouldC first.
A.let old people go 
B.let sick people go
C.let people in front of you go
D.let children go
75.What can be the best title for the text?A
A.Movies Manners
B.Don't Text When in the Theatre
C.Taking Food Which Doesn't Smell
D.Letting Other People Go First.

12.Early risers are most likely to be healthy,wealthy and wise,according to the old saying.But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have advantages,researchers say.They have found that night owls(夜猫子) are generally brighter and wealthier than those who are able to get up early in the morning.
Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late showed the kind of intelligence to find good jobs and earn much money.Larks or"morning people",however,often get better exam results,possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls.
The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the young people to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep later in the morning,or preferred to go to bed early and were at their best state in the morning.School performance and problem solving ability,were judged and test grades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration.
