    Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent. They will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.
    The touch-screen devices are on show at the Food Marketing Institute’s exhibition here this week, “These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker,” said Michael Alexander, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.
    Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBM’s “Shopping Buddy”, has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.
    Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.
    “The whole model is driven by advertisers’ need to get in front of shoppers,” said Alexander. “They’re not watching 30-second TV ads anymore.”
    People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system（系统）that will organize the trip around the store. If you’re looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.
    The device also keeps a record of what you buy. When you’re finished, the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.
    The new computerized shopping assistants don’t come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $ 160, 000, and the Concierge will cost stores about $ 500 for each device.
    【小题1】The underlined word “they”（paragraph 1）refers to ____________.

    A．supermarketsB．shop assistants
    C．shopping cartsD．shop managers
    【小题2】We can learn from the last paragraph that ___________.
    A．intelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of money
    B．the Concierge is cheaper than the Buddy devices
    C．shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid
    D．average stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices
    【小题3】What might be the most suitable title for the text?
    A．New age for supermarkets
    B．Concierge and Shopping Buddy
    C．New computers make shopping carts smarter
    D．Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable

    About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
    There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.
    Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.
    Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
    【小题1】The passage is mainly about _____________.

    A．color and its surprising effects.
    B．women being luckier than men
    C．danger caused by color blindness
    D．color blindness
    【小题2】According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_______________.
    A．tell different shapesB．see in a weak light
    C．kill mosquitoesD．tell orange from yellow
    【小题3】Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
    A．Women are more careful.
    B．There are fewer color-blind women
    C．Women are fonder of driving than men.
    D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.
    【小题4】Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?
    A．Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.
    B．None of them can see deep red.
    C．None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.
    D．All of them see everything in shades of green.
    【小题5】We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.
    A．red lightB．yellow light
    C．blue lightD．green light

       I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.

       At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.

       Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations(刺激): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.

       Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.

    1. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?

    A. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.

    B. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.

    C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind.             

    D. She finds space research more important.

    2. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author’s failures to ________.

    A. the very fact that she is a woman                       

    B. her involvement in gender politics

    C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist       

    D. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society

    3. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?

    A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.

    B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.

    C. People’s stereotyped attitude toward female scientists.

    D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured.

    4. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?

    A. Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues.

    B. Her students’ performance has brought back her confidence.

    C. Her female students can do just as well as male students.

    D. More female students are pursuing science than before.

    5. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?

    A. Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.

    B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.

    C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family.

    D. Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.

    Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”

    So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品). We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.

    But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.

    So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values---not values imposed（强加）from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.

    1.What Oscar Wilde says implies that _____________.

    A. we have thoughts similar to those of others

    B. most people have a variety of thoughts

    C. most people’s thoughts are controlled by others

    D. other people’s thoughts are more important

    2.What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph ?

    A. We may lose ourselves to please others.

    B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.

    C. We need to pay for what we want to get.

    D. The price of taking drugs is freedom.

    3. In order to live a happy, effective and purposeful life, we should _________.

    A. care about others’ opinions and change opinions all the time

    B. guide ourselves by means of values from the outside

    C. persuade others to accept our opinions

    D. stick to our own values

    4.It can be concluded from the passage that __________.

    A. we shouldn’t care what others think     B. it’s better to do what we like

    C. we shouldn't change our own opinions   D. it’s important to accept others’ opinions
