A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when people interpret facial emotions (情感).The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard,such as Japan,the focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions. Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed,such as the United States,the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotions.
“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,” said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda.” A person’s culture plays a very strong role in determining how he will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting the facial expressions.”
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符号),which are used to convey a writer’s emotions by email and text message. The Japanese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn ,while the American emotions vary with the direction of the mouth. In the United States the emoticons∶)and∶­) show a happy face,whereas the emoticons∶(and∶­(show a sad face. However,the Japanese tend to use the symbol (‘­‘) to indicate a happy face,and (;­;) to indicate a sad face.
“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a person’s eyes when detecting his or her emotions,as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的),”said Masuda. “In the United States,where an open emotion is quite common,it makes sense to focus on the mouth,which is the most expressive feature on a person’s face.”
小题1:The text mainly tells us that ________.
A.cultural differences are expressed in emotions
B.culture is a key to interpreting facial emotions
C.different emoticons are preferred in different cultures
D.people from different cultures express emotions differently
小题2:Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face?
A.(;­;)B.∶­)
C.∶­(D.∶(
小题3:If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is true or false,he will probably________.
A.read the whole faceB.focus on the mouth
C.look into the eyesD.judge by the voice
小题4:The computer emoticons used by Americans show that________.
A.they express their feelings openly
B.they tend to control their emotions
C.they are good at conveying their emotions
D.they use simpler emotions to show their feelings

Dr. Julie Coulton, a British psychologist, focuses her research on the extraordinary function of the play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of Helsinki shows that playing outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.
Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and at the same time, to ask schools and kindergartens to assure the small a playground outside. Recent statistics (数据) and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent outside.
As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses. Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don't know what to do anymore to make their children eat healthy and balanced.
Children need a space where to develop their creativity mid parents should encourage them all the time. Too many rules hold back the child's personality and creativity and prevent them to develop the desire to know, to find out, to learn.
If you tell your child so many times: "Don't do that, don't mess the room, don't go there ...", he will lose the desire to do something, anything. Parents must watch their children without suffocating (窒息) them. Should you consider they mustn't do that or this, you have to logically explain them your reasons and they will understand.
Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take decisions. Playing is connected to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child. Playing lets your children learn how to express his feelings.
小题1:What is worrying the scientists is that ______.
A.most parents pay no attention to their children's playing

A.eye problemsB.weight problems
C.lack of creativityD.lack of interest in their lessons

A.to allow children to do whatever we want them to do
B.never to forbid children to do anything they want to do
C.to explain why when you don't let children do something
D.to watch children playing anytime to ensure their safety

LONDON: What could possibly be wrong with planting trees? The advantages are obvious; they  firm the soil, soak up (摄取) extra water and take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere.
However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming.
Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind’s power. The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide.
Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life.
Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean.
Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修补) with it without understanding the results. For this reason there is the need to focus(集中) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying (瞎弄) about with the land surface.”
An American scientist, Robert Jackson, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded(侵入) by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grasses, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees, ” says Jackson.
In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超过) by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combat global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions(解决办法) to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth’s climate is a very great challenge.
小题1:People usually hold the opinion that    
A.huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide
B.huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earth
C.huge dust storms can’t do anything beneficial for man
D.planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms
小题2:Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scientist, believes that      
A.dust plays a more important part than trees
B.trees shouldn’t have been planted in dry places
C.carbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earth
D.environmental problems are more complex than expected
小题3:Robert Jackson’s experiment proves that       
A.grassland areas should be covered by forests
B.trees hold more carbon than grass
C.carbon can turn grass into dust
D.less carbon can make trees grow faster
小题4:The underlined word “combat” in the last paragraph means     
A.learn aboutB.fight againstC.live withD.give up

The price of coffee beans hits a 12 – year high today. I thought there might
be some kind of coffee – market story, like we saw with cocoa earlier this summer.
But the main driver of coffee prices right now is simpler: Colombia has had
a few years of weak coffee harvests because of too much rain, which has reduced
the global supply. And coffee drinkers keep buying coffee, even as prices rise, in
other words, demand is unchanged.
The higher price of beans – up about 40 percent since March – means higher prices for the coffee you buy by the pound. But it probably won’t affect the coffee you buy by the cup.
Smuckers, which sells Folgers and Millstone coffees, recently said it was raising its prices because of the higher cost of beans. Starbucks, however, said it would absorb the higher cost of beans without raising prices.
“You see it much more in the grocery store because the raw materials are a big factor of cost,” Jose Sette of the International Coffee Organization told me. “In a coffee shop, your big expenses are rent and labor.”
While real – world supply and demand is the big driver of the price of beans, there may be some speculative action in coffee business in the future.
But futures (期货) of the high – grade Arabica beans are traded in the US, where regulations prevent speculators (投机商) from controlling the market, hoping such things won’t happen just as in London summer market. That suggests that prices should fall when supply improves – which may happen next year.
Some experts say that farmers in third world countries won’t actually benefit from higher prices in this case. When the price difference is due to supply and demand, the profit of the seller usually doesn’t go up.
小题1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Why coffee is getting more expensive?
B.How farmer benefits from the high price?
C.Whether the US will control the coffee market?
D.What has caused the reduction of coffee?
小题2:From the second paragraph we can infer that _______________________.
A.Colombia is the coffee trading center of the world
B.Colombia coffee output contains a final share of the world
C.People need more and more coffee
D.Coffee sales will be getting less and less
小题3:In this summer’s coffee bean market, ____________________________.
A.the US made more rules about coffee prices
B.speculators once held the coffee bean market in London
C.coffee bean trading was seriously disorganized
D.coffee bean prices were very low in the US
小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.The price difference determines the profit of the seller.
B.Smuckers is a famous coffee manufacturer.
C.Real – world supply and demand decides the prices.
D.Coffee prices will become much higher next year.

I fell in love with England because it was quaint (典雅)—all those little houses, looking terri­bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man­ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man­ners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans­port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
小题1:The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.
A.is not used to the life there now
B.has lived there for seventeen years
C.prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D.has to be polite to everyone she meets there
小题2:Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
A.In a cafe.B.In a restaurant.C.In a nightclub.D.In a pub.
小题3:The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.
A.a taxiB.the moneyC.a bombD.public transport
小题4:The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ______.
A.felt lonely in England
B.had never been to France
C.was from a typical French family
D.didn't like the British idea of family

When foreigners come to Chengdu, a good alternative is to get around by taking the bus. Once getting used to going by bus, you will discover that it is actually not that bad.
Although a ride usually covers two or twenty stops, a bus ride costs RMB 2 in Chengdu. It is important to carry enough small money with you, because it is not usual to get back changes. Even though it is cheap, you can pay less and save some trouble if you get a RMB 25 bus card at your local pharmacy, Hongqi Chain Store or bus station terminal office—note that personal identification is needed. Explain to the worker that you want to purchase a bus card.
With this card, one bus drive costs only RMB 1 if you use a card based on frequency of your ride. If your card is based on the so called E-purse, you pay each time RMB 1.80 for the bus. If you require the use of subway, you can ask the cashier at the Hongqi Chain Store to activate the metro. After having your bus card, you can store money on your travel card. The fees for bus and metro have to be stored separately.
It is important to keep in mind that the money on the card does not overlap. For example, you charge 40 bus rides on the card, but you only used 20 during the month, the rest 20 will be invalid at the beginning of the next month and you have to recharge the card. Therefore, it is important to calculate the exact numbers of bus rides you will have to take.
After you have your own bus card, one swipe is only needed when you get on the bus at the front door. If you only manage to get on the bus at the back door, just ask the passengers to pass your card to the front and swipe it for you. With the bus card, you can transfer buses for fee if the travel time is within two hours.
Furthermore, it is to stress that you should keep an eye on your belongings while being on the bus. Generally, Chengdu is a safe place but most of the thefts are occurring on buses, at train stations or crowded large area, like the shopping street Chunxi Road.
Due to the fact that the place names are announced in Chinese, it is better to know the Chinese name of your destination. Even though there are announcements in English, they will sound like the following: “The next stop is Jinjiang Binguan (Jinjiang Hotel)”
小题1:Which of the following statements is true when taking the bus in Chengdu?
A.It’s always important to carry enough small money with you every day.
B.It only costs RMB 25 to get around in Chengdu by bus per month.
C.Personal identification is not essential when applying for a bus card for locals.
D.RMB 0.2 will be saved each time if you use E-purse rather than cash on the bus.
小题2:Why are the readers reminded to pay close attention to their personal possessions?
A.Because Chengdu is not a safe place.
B.Because some thieves like stealing things in crowded buses.
C.Because people can transfer buses for fee within two hours.
D.Because the bus card must be swiped at the front door.
小题3:Why does the author suggest the Chinese name of the destination be learnt?
A.Because it helps know clearly where to get off the bus.
B.Because it can prevent people from missing the bus they want to board.
C.Because the place names are merely announced in Chinese.
D.Because it prevents the passengers getting off at the next stop on time.
小题4:The author might write this passage specially for ________.
A.The local Chengdu people who are interested in traveling by bus
B.Regular bus riders in Chengdu who fails to manage their bus cards properly.
C.New foreigners in Chengdu who want to get around by bus.
D.Pedestrians in Chengdu who are considering choosing to take the bus.
