    Tips for waiting in line

    We’ve all been there — when lining up at the supermarket checkout counter, the lines next to us always seem to be moving faster than the one we are standing in. 1. . It has also offered tips on picking the fastest line.

    ●2.

    A cart (购物车) full of items doesn’t tell the whole story. Every person requires a fixed amount of time to say hello, pay, say goodbye and clear out of the lane. And that amount of time is an average of 41 seconds per person. 3. . This means if there are five people ahead of you, each with 10 items in their carts, the waiting time will be 355 seconds. But if there is only one person ahead of you, with 50 items in the cart, the waiting time is 191 seconds. You do the math.

    ● Study the customers

    How many people are ahead of you is one thing, and who they are is another. 4. The items in their carts are also important. For example, four bottles of the same milk will definitely go faster than four completely different items.

    ● Go left

    According to a research, around 90 percent of people are right-handed. 5. . So heading to the opposite direction — left — will give you a better chance of finding a faster line.

    A. Choose a “snaky line”

    B. Pick someone with a full cart

    C. It means a majority of people tend to naturally go to the right

    D. The person at the head of the line goes to the next available counter

    E. On the other hand, the time that each item takes to be rung up is only three seconds

    F. For example, if they are old people, they tend to move slower and delay the checkout process

    G. Now The New York Times gives you some deep understanding into the math and psychology of queuing

    My friend’s grandfather came to America from a farm in Thailand. After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria(自助餐厅) in Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a big plate full of food came up to him. She sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

    “Start out at that end,” she said, “Just go along the line and choose what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

    “I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather told my friend later, “Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you want to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”

    Is it possible that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by a ghost? A lot of the story below is true… but did it really happen quite like this?

    Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic, but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt. It is here, perhaps, that we can find the start of the mystery of the Titanic, in the year 1910, in the great city of Cairo. One day, a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo, when he was contacted by an American adventurer.

    The American had something unusual to offer Murray, something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancient Egyptian mummy case, containing the mummy of an Egyptian queen. It was over 3000 years old, but in beautiful condition — gold, with bright paintings on it. Murray was delighted with both the object and the asking price. He gave the man a cheque immediately.

    The cheque was never cashed. That evening the American adventurer died. For his part, Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain. However, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered, there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb. Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later, when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand, shattering his arm. The arm had to be cut off.

    After the accident, Murray decided to return to his homeland. On the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away. The now-terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London. A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it, so he gave it to her. Shortly afterwards, Jones’ mother died, and she herself caught a strange disease. She tried returning the mummy, but naturally Murray refused it. In the end, it was presented to the British Museum.

    Even in the museum, the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events. A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit; and a manager also died for no apparent reason. In the end, the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too. They sold it to a collector in New York.

    At the start of April 1912, arrangements for the transfer were complete, and the mummy began the journey to its new home. But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case. For when the Titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong room was the mummy case. Or so they say.

    1.In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “cursed” is closest in meaning to ________.

    A. forgottenB. uncommonC. unluckyD. expensive

    2.In what order did the following events occur?

    a. The case was given to the British Museum.

    b. Janet Jones caught a mysterious illness.

    c. Murray’s arm was cut off.

    d. The mummy case was sold to an American.

    e. A man who took a picture of the case died.

    f. Warnings were written on the tomb’s walls.

    A. f, c, b, a, e, dB. c, f, b, a, e, d

    C. d, f, b, c, a, eD. f, a, c, b, e, d

    3.According to the passage, where is the Egyptian mummy now?

    A. At the British Museum.B. In New York.

    C. In Egypt.D. Under the sea.

    4.What’s the main purpose of this passage?

    A. To introduce an important historical event to readers.

    B. To entertain readers with a story of mystery.

    C. To warn readers about the dangers of mummies’ curses.

    D. To inform readers about the true cause of the Titanic’s sinking.

    At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

    In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.”

    I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

    In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

    Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

    I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”

    1.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because ________.

    A. he wanted to take the task home

    B. he was new to the class

    C. he had an attention disorder

    D. he was tired of literature

    2.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

    A. Angry.B. Impatient.C. Sympathetic.D. Encouraging.

    3.The underlined phrase spilled out in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

    A. put inB. crowded inC. cheated inD. broke in

    4.What is the main idea of the passage?

    A. A teacher can open up a new world to students.

    B. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

    C. The disabled should be treated with respect.

    D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.
