    There at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass, my l4-year-old son, John, and I noticed the coat. While the other coats drooped (低垂), this one looked as if it were   41  itself up. The coat was beautifully made, with a Fifth Avenue label and an  42   price of $28, which was popular just then with   43  , but could cost several hundred dollars new. John tried it on and the  44   was perfect.
    John  45   the coat to school the next day and came home with a big smile. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said,   46   folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a   47  came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness (作对) and   48   discussion replaced fierce argument. He became more mannerly and  49  , eager to please. He would generously lend his younger brother his tapes and lecture him   50   his behavior. When I mentioned this   51  to his teacher and wondered what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It   52   be his coat!” Another teacher told him she was giving him a good mark not only because he had earned   53   but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran   54  a friend. “Could this be John?” he asked surprisingly,   55  John’s new height, appreciating the cut of his coat and holding out his hand, one gentleman to another.
    John and I both know we should never   56   a person’s clothes for the real person within them.   57  , there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see and for   58  what is on the inside with what is on the outside.
    For John, it is a time when it is as easy to try on different  59  to life as it is to try on a coat. The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast landscape   60  all the doors are open. And he could picture himself walking through those doors wearing his wonderful, magical coat.

    Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand (商标) of product on the shelf.
    Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged (包装) in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
    When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
    The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
    It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
    The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote(推销)  their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius (天才) to sell it.”
    小题1:Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
    A．The cost of its package.B．The price of the product.
    C．The colour of its package.D．The brand name of the product.
    小题2:The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off”(in Para. 3 ) means that the colours _____.
    A．attracted the customers strongly
    B．had weak effects on the customers
    C．tricked the customers into shopping
    D．caused the customers to lose interest
    小题3:Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
    A．The way to promote goods.
    B．The discovery of a genius.
    C．The team to produce a good product.
    D．The brand name used by successful producers.
    小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
    A．Choice of Good ProductsB．Disadvantages of Products
    C．Effect of Packaging on ShoppingD．Brand Names and Shopping Tricks

    We might like to think we're not influenced by other people, but a new study into the group-buying mechanisms（机制） - like those used on coupon（优惠券） sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial - reveals that telling buyers who come later to the offer how many have already signed up increases the number of purchasers.
    Researchers at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management wanted to understand why group buying sites that have entered the market recently have enjoyed greater success than those operating a decade ago, such as Mercata and MobShop.
    Earlier attempts typically left potential buyers waiting for days before confirming whether or not they had got the offer they had signed up for.
    “We think one of the reasons group-buying has been successful recently is because of the short time horizon,” says Rotman Professor Ming Hu, who co-wrote the study with Professor Mengze Shi and PhD student Jiahua Wu. “It allows for a herding effect.”
    Another reason is the use of an information structure that discloses to later arrivals how many have already signed onto the deal.
    Researchers looked at two ways of designing the purchasing mechanism for a group buy:a simultaneous mechanism, where no one knows how many buyers have come before them, and asequential（连续的） mechanism, where a second group of buyers has the advantage of knowing the size of the first group.
    The researchers' analytical（分析的） model shows the most successful mechanism is the sequential one because it eliminates uncertainty for those coming later to the deal, and improves the confidence of those who sign on early, as they're able to track the numbers of those who come after them.
    “That boosts confidence,” says Professor Hu, who teaches operations management. Deals for "luxury" services, versus everyday items, work better in a group buy scenario（方案） because they offer consumers a greater benefit.
    小题1:It can be learned from the text that ______.
    A．the short time horizon is the reason why group-buying has been successful.
    B．a simultaneous mechanism is where a group of buyers has the advantage of knowing how many people have signed up.
    C．a sequential mechanism allows a herding effect which boosts the confidence of the buyers.
    D．researchers at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management carried out an experiment about why group buying sites entered the market successfully, such as Mercata and MobShop.
    小题2:The underlined word “eliminates” in paragraph 7 probably means“______”.
    A．to become or to make something greater in amount, number, value
    B．to remove or get rid of something
    C．to deliberately not include something in what you are doing or considering
    D．to make something known to somebody
    小题3:What can be the best title for the passage?
    A．Secret for marketing success – boosting confidence.
    B．Secret for group-buying mechanism—herding effect.
    C．Comparison between a simultaneous mechanism and a sequential mechanism.
    D．What others do influences our decisions.

    Donald had his own difficulties in sleeping that night.

At Donald’s insistence, they pushed their way through the water --- now chest high --- toward the front door. When they fought their way into the living room, water rose to their chins.
    It was a struggle for the boy and mother to stay afloat. In a total panic, desperate to hold on to something, Troy caught a curtain rod. She was breathing hard, shouting that she couldn’t swim.

    Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have given $500,000 to help the town of Joplin —a town near the Mississippi River, where Pitt’s mother went to school recover from a huge tornado (龙卷风)that struck on May 22, 2011.
    The couple made the donation through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation on Thursday to help rebuild the town of Joplin after about 30% of the buildings were destroyed by the tornado. Over 150 people were killed.
    “The Joplin community faces great challenges ahead,” said Brad. "Having spent most of my childhood there, I know these people to be hardworking, humble and especially resilient.
    “The locally based Community Foundation of the Ozarks will be working shoulder to shoulder with these Joplin citizens for long to rebuild their lives. We, too, hope to further help with these rebuilding efforts.”
    “Last year 42 million people worldwide were hurt by natural disasters,” added Angelina. “So often, these disasters seem far away; but now, the need is right here at home for thousands of people. Our hearts go out to the families in Joplin who have lost so much.”
    The Community Foundation of the Ozarks was founded in 1973 and has since grown to include 43 branch community foundations. The Foundation’s task is to improve the quality of life in the Missouri Ozarks area through resource development, community grant making, working together, and public leadership.
    “We had a call in the first day or two afterward from an organization representing them,” said Brian Fogle, president of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks. "They made several calls afterwards, but we learned that they made a donation.

    Researchers found that walking around with a forced smile and fake (假的) happiness simply leads to people feeling unhappier. So, putting a brave face on your sadness could be harmful. The research also found that women suffered more than men when pretending to be happy.
    Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when dealing with the public can result in bad outcomes. He said, “Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead to emotional tiredness, and that’s bad for the organization.” He also said the research showed customer-service workers who had “fake smiles” throughout the day fell into a bad mood and didn’t want to work, so their productivity dropped.
    The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional expressions over a period of time and compare the different effects on men and women. Dr. Scott’s team examined the effects of “surface acting”, or fake smiling, compared to “deep acting”, or making people smile by thinking of peasant memories.
    Dr. Scott said, “Women were harmed more by surface acting, meaning their moods worsened even more than men’s. However, they were helped more by deep acting, which means their moods improved more by thinking of pleasant memories. ”
    According to Dr. Scott, women tend to suffer more when pretending to be happy because they are expected to be more emotionally expressive than men. Therefore, forcing a smile while feeling down is more likely to go against their normal behavior and cause more harmful feelings.
    Although deep acting can improve moods a little in the short term, Dr. Scott says, it’s not a long-term solution to feeling unhappy. “There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period you start to feel unreal. You’re trying to develop positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself any more.”
    小题1:According to the passage, Dr. Scott’s study ______.
    A．is supported by some big employers in the USA
    B．is meaningful as there haven’t been many similar ones
    C．examined more women than men for a long time
    D．aimed to make the employees more productive
    小题2:Women suffer more from fake happiness mainly because ______.
    A．they usually turn up shy in public places
    B．they should be more emotionally expressive
    C．they are often treated in a terrible way
    D．they like thinking of pleasant memories
    小题3:It is implied in the passage that deep acting _____.
    A．doesn’t have any effect on men
    B．cannot improve our moods in any case
    C．harms our feelings in the long run
    D．pleases people by feeling like another person
    小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Fake smiling makes people unhappy.
    B．Women shouldn’t be forced to smile.
    C．An important suggestion for workers.
    D．Why people don’t want to work.

    Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day. If your dad worships(崇拜) the Pittsburgh Stealers, you are likely to grow up being a big fun of that football team. And if your mom loves to read you just might grow up carrying everywhere you go, just like she does.
    Here are four ways you can stay close and build a strong relationship with your parents.
    1. Spent time together. How much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, maybe you can ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out.
    2. Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad may not know that you are having a problem. Tell a parent if you are sad or struggling with something.
    3. Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you”. It’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.
    4. Whatever you do, do your best! You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you are turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.
    小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us___________.   
    A．the Pittsburgh Stealers is a famous football team
    B．the kid will like reading if his or her mother likes
    C．parents influence(影响) their kids greatly.
    D．we should follow our parents’ hobbies.
    小题2:In the third paragraph, the author suggests that ____________.  
    A．you keep your parents company all the time
    B．you stay at home with your parents
    C．you do something together with your parents.
    D．you enjoy games when your parents watch TV
    小题3:The underlined part “they’re doing a good job” means_____________. 
    A．they have very good jobs
    B．their jobs can bring the family much money
    C．they make you become a great kid
    D．they make you find a good job.
    小题4:The text intends to（旨在）tell us______________. 
    A．parents are important to everyone
    B．how we get along with our parents
    C．to respect our parents
    D．to share feelings with our parents

    Q My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade. She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master’s degree. Her performance is fairly good, but test scores are very low. She has held many leadership and volunteer positions. We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has overcome. Will that help or hurt her chances for admission?
    —Deborah
    A  First let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/ SAT). There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process. Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors. A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest.org. It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy.
    You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted. Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability. “Disclosing” a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help. By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face. They might also demonstrate an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability. More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability.
    —Ms. Kravis
    小题1:What do we know about Deborah’s daughter?
    A．She is applying for a master’s degree.
    B．She is very active in her high school.
    C．Her disability prevents her studying well.
    D．She has difficulty overcoming her learning disability.
    小题2:According to Ms. Kravis, what can Deborah do about her daughter’s low test scores?
    A．Keep them secretB．Explain the reasons
    C．Stress other aspectsD．Work hard to improve
    小题3:What is Ms. Kravis’ attitude toward one’s declaring his/ her learning disability?
    A．SupportiveB．OpposedC．DoubtfulD．Unconcerned
    小题4:According to the text, Ms. Kravis is probably         .
    A．an editorB．a school leader
