    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项。

    If you have made an agreement to go out to eat with someone, you should be clear who is paying. If the other suggests you have lunch with him or her, you might simply say something like this:“I'm afraid it'll have to be some place inexpensive as I have very little money.”The other person may say,“OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's.”This means it is agreed that each person pays for his own meal, i. e. that you “go Dutch”. If the person says,“Oh, no. I'll take you to lunch in a little restaurant I like very much,”it means that the person wants to pay the bill for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, there's no reason why you should not accept this invitation by simply saying “Thank you. That would be very nice.”If a person invites you to his or her home for a meal, it's understood that person is paying. If you invite someone to your home, it's understood that you are buying the food. If you want to invite someone out for lunch, you must also make yourself clear by saying, perhaps,“I'd like to take you to lunch tomorrow at the Hostess Inn Coffee Shop”(meaning you plan to buy the food) or“let's have lunch together tomorrow at Burger King. It's on me.”American women used to expect men to pay for all meals, but today most women will pay for themselves. However, you should always make your position clear. Being clear is the polite thing to do. It is lack of clarity (明了) that causes loss of face in this situation.

    1．According to the passage, if someone asks you to go out to eat, ________.

    [　　]

    A．it shows he wants to pay for you

    B．it doesn't necessarily meant that he wants to pay for you

    C．you should ask him to go out to eat next time

    D．you should refuse him if you don't like him

    2．The underlined part“go Dutch”means ________.

    [　　]

    A．each paying for himself

    B．buying the food at a store

    C．paying for the two of you

    D．going to some inexpensive place

    3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．Men are expected to pay for women when they are eating out.

    B．One should accept another person's invitation if he isn't one's good friend.

    C．“It's on me.”means“I'll pay for the meal.”

    D．If you are invited to someone's house for a meal, you should bring some gifts.

    3．In order not to lose face, ________.

    [　　]

    A．one should try to pay for others

    B．one should not eat out without carrying a lot of money

    C．one shouldn't let a woman pay for him

    D．one should make oneself clear and understood

    In meditation(冥想) ，people sit quietly and focus their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds. they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go.

    According to a recent study at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in this kind of meditation causes a market change in how the brain allocates(分配) attention. It appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind frees the brain to attend to more rapidly changing things and events in the outside world. Expert mediators are better than other people at catching such fast-changing stimuli(刺激), like facial expressions.

    The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice. everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain, It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being.

    In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience in the experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day. A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both group looked for the numbers, their brain activity was recorded.

    Everyone could catch the first number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced mediators tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number. as if letting it go, which led to an increased ability to grasp the second number, This shows that attention can change with practice.

    Just ask Daniel Levision, who meditated for three months as part of the study.” I am a much better listener,” he said. “I do not get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are saying.”

    48. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.

    A. feelings               B. minds               C. people                    D. thoughts

    49. Meditations manage their daily tasks better because they ________.

    A. are given less pressure                     B. allocate their attention better

    C. have more stimuli for life                 D. practice them more frequently

    50. In the experiment, volunteers doing meditation for longer hours ________.

    A. were more likely to catch both of the members

    B. were used to memorizing numbers in groups

    C. usually ignored the first number observed

    D. paid more attention to numbers than to letters

    51. The study proves that ________.

    A. meditation improves one’s health

    B. brain activity can be recorded

    C. human attention can be trained

    D. mediators have a good sense of hearing

    Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum.
    The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classes— they are failing because the “ academic” classes are not sufficient.
    It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.
    Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art— there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge — certainly not a good preparation for the real world.
