【题目】Many editors have a rule that they will not even read stories that are not formatted and presented as requested in their Submission（投稿）Guidelines.Even if this policy is not stated,it affects their decision-making.There are a few reasonable reasons.
A good editor likes to read all stories for the first time in the same format（格式）as the publication standard.A consistent format between manuscripts（手稿）removes distractions like unusual presentation and puts each manuscript on the same starting level,with the focus on content.
Leading publications get thousands of submissions a year.Editor time is extremely valuable.Most editors enjoy finding gems among the manuscripts,but they really dislike reformatting(don't you prefer eating an elegant meal to washing dishes?).When an editor sees he will have to spend an extra half hour of precious time in reformatting,he subconsciously marks that submission down compared to other submissions of equal quality.
Publications need to have consistency in formatting for all their published stories: letterform,type size,spacing, paragraph structure etc.This keeps the reader’s focus on the words and not their structure.Since editors don't have a choice to just accept a weirdly（古怪的）formatted story as it is,they are forced to either reformat or decline the submission.
Publications use different software and other tools in their operations.Editors know what makes their system go smoothly.Many invisible software formatting structures between types of documents create disasters.
Editors are not pedantic（迂腐的）.Their job is to find great material and expose those works to appreciative readers.Differently formatted manuscripts steal time away from that responsibility,which is bad for everyone.Editors love nothing more than finishing a read and thinking “Wow.A great story-AND it's cut and paste!"
【1】What does the underlined word "gems" refer to in the third paragraph?
A. Precious Jewels. B. Creative formats.
C. Great stories. D. Amazing characters.
【2】What kind of manuscript is most likely to be refused?
A. One with no special structures.
B. One with a general letterform.
C. One with attractive plots.
D. One with a weird format.
【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How the editors usually work.
B. Why publications need consistent format.
C. Why the manuscript's format can influence the editor's decision.
D. The ways on how to format manuscripts.
【答案】

【3】C
【解析】这篇短文讲述编辑如何选择手稿，以及一份手稿的格式会影响编辑的决定的原因。

【2】推理判断题。根据第四段“Since editors don't have a choice to just accept a weirdly formatted story as it is, they are forced to either reformat or decline the submission.”可知，他们被迫要么重新格式化，要么拒绝提交，可推知，奇怪格式的手稿可能被拒绝。故选D.

I was sitting at my favorite table in a restaurant on last Sunday waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive. I suddenly found that Lin Ling, one of my classmate, worked as a waitress there. Honest speaking, it was great surprise for me to find her working there. As far as I know, she's from a richer family. What made her work there? I walked up to her but asked her the reason. When asking, she said, “I just want to earn some pocket money so that we can help some children in poor areas go back to school.” How a good girl! I should learn from her.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes. “Shoes convey useful information about their wearers”, the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone's shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people. However，some of the more specific results are strange enough. For example, “practical and functional 'shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant" people, while ankle boots were more linked with “aggressive” personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities. And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety", spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal (主张变革的) types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.
（1）What does this text mainly tell us?
A.Shoes Call hide people's real personalities．
B.Shoes convey false information about the wearer．
C.People's personalities call be judged by their shoes．
D.People know little about their personalities．
（2）Which of the results is beyond people's expectation?
A.Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes．
B.Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes．
C.Aggressive people are likely to weal" ankle boots．
D.Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people．
（3）People suffering from “attachment anxiety” tend to
A.wear strange shoes
B.worry about their appearance
C.have a calm character
D.become a political leader
（4）The author wrote the text in order to
A.inform us of a new study
B.introduce a research method
C.teach how to choose shoes
D.describe different personalities
