【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments—outside the jeweler's before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he'd better buy a necklace. He wasn't used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o'clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted.

【解析】本文描写了一位聪明的珠宝店店员的故事。James因为经济拮据想给未来的妻子买一份经济实惠的礼物,同时又不想让妻子知道价格低,当他鼓起勇气到了珠宝店后,聪明的店员帮他圆满地完成了这一事情,这位店员很聪明,她知道如何令顾客满意,所以回头顾客肯定多。

⑴主旨大意。通读全文可知这篇文章主要讲述了一个非常聪明的店员,她知道如何令顾客满意,所以答案是A。

⑵推理判断。根据第三句James felt a rush blood to his face as he explained he would bring in his future wife to choose a birthday present.可知,当他说出他为什么买礼物时,他的血好像涌到脸上,故他的脸应该是变红了,所以答案是B。

⑶细节理解。根据第七、八句At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o'clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura可知,James在5:00离开商店,半小时之后他和劳拉到达珠宝店。故他和劳拉到达珠宝店的时间是5:30,所以答案是C。

⑷推理判断。根据我们的常识,顾客成为商店的回头客主要是因为顾客对商店的服务满意,这位非常聪明的店员,她知道怎样的服务能令James满意,所以答案是A。

The teenage years can be tough,and it's normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don't go away or become so intense that you can't handle them,you may be suffering from depression.
Try not to isolate yourself
When you're depressed,you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult,but isolating yourself only makes depression even worse. . Spend time with friends,especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy

Ever heard of “Runners High”?Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression,so get involved in sports,ride your bike,or take a dance class. Any activity helps! . As for food,make sure you're feeding your mind with plenty of fruits,vegetables,and whole grains.
Avoid alcohol and drugs
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “mood boost”,even if just for a short time. However,substance abuse can not only make depression worse,but can cause you to become more depressed. . You will need special treatment for your substance abuse problem.

Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition,if you have a health concern you feel you can't talk to your parents about,see a doctor.

C.Turn to your parents for help

【题目】Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.

Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $ 10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “peak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!

Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.

At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”

【题目】A beach town in the US state of New Jersey recently passed a ban o trousers, jeans and shorts that hang less than 3 inches below the hips(臀部) for an excuse of being unfriendly to others’ eyes. But besides those low-hanging pants, here are some other items of popular travel clothing that may also need to be banned.

Thai Fisherman Pants: These lightweight cotton pants, wide in the waist and originally designed for Thai fishermen, are popular among men and women due to their comfort, ability to last long and relative ease of wearing. But the bad news is that wearing these pants isn’t the way to be respected in Bangkok.

“Wearing them to wander around the town is considered ’low class’ (even if we don’t say it out loudly),” wrote a local Bangkok woman, who called herself “Beebah” on line. “It’s better to dress ‘respectable’ if you want to be treated well. Even a T-shirt and shorts are better than fisherman pants and tight sleeveless shirts. If you really love them, wear them at home.”

T-shirts with slogans: Wearing T-shirts with slogans in the local language on them may seem cool to some young tourists who are swept up in the excitement of being in a foreign country for the first time. But be careful as they could be some meaningless words and make you look really stupid. What’s worse, some slogan T-shirts are political--you might get yourself into trouble without even knowing about it.

Croce(洞洞鞋): Comfortable and easy to slip on and off, Crocs have been go-to-beach shoes for many tourists. But we must admit that these holey plastic shoes are deadly ugly in every way. “Supporters would hold that the comfort of the Crocs is over their looks, but Babyclothes are comfortable, too. Your don’t feel the need to walk around in them, do you?” said a friend of mine.

1Why are Thai Fisherman Pants popular?

A. Because they are beautiful and fashionable

B. Because they are cheap, fashionable and easy to be made

C. Because they are comfortable, lasting and easy to wear

D. Because they are respectable and handsome

2According to the local Bangkok woman who called herself “Beebah” online, .

A. one should never wear Thai Fisherman Pants

B. one should never walk in a T-shirt or shorts

C. Thai Fisherman Pants aren’t proper in public

D. the local people don’t like Thai Fisherman Pants

3According to the passage before wearing a T-shirt with slogans, you should make sure .

A. the words are in the local language

B. you know the meaning of the words

C. it is the most popular at the moment

D. the words have something to do with politics

4The author’s friend’s attitude to the Crocs is .

A. supportive B. disappointed

C. interested D. critical
