14.Never go into a supermarket hungry!This is a good piece of advice.If you go shopping for food before lunchtime,you'll probably buy more than yo u plan to.Unfortunately,however,just this advice isn't enough for consumers these days.Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store.First,you check the weekly newspaper ads.Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things.In other words,don't buy anything just because it's cheaper than usual!"New and Improved!"or"All Natural"on the front of a package influence you.Instead,read the list of contents on the back.Third,compare prices,that is,you should examine the prices of both differ ent brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary item s instead of famous brands.Ordinary items in supermarket s come in plain packages.These products are cheaper because producers don't spend much money on packing or advertising.The quality,however,is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands.In the same way,in buying clothes,you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous.Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money.Although these stores aren't very attractive,and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms,not only are the prices low,but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials,but they do this with one advantage:knowledge of the psychology behind the ads.In other words,well informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation.They ask themselves questions:Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page?Is there any real information in the commercial(商业广告),or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image?With the answers to these questions,consumers can make a wise choice.
32.All the following statements are true about the phrase"ordinary items"in Paragraph 2 exceptD.
A.ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands.
B.producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items.
C.the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands.

D.They are harmful.
34.One of the author's suggestions to consumers isB.
A.to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands.
B.to make use of advertisements carefully for shopping.
C.to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch.
D.not to buy items with words like"New and Improved"or"All Natural".

B.discount clothing stores are only good places to go to for shopping.
C.going into the supermarket hungry,you may buy less than you plan to.

2.Have you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe?Maybe you did a dangerous trick (杂耍动作) on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet (头盔) and thought you couldn't get hurt.The psychology (心理) of this sort of behavior is called the Peltzman Effect,named after Sam Peltzman,professor of economics at the University of Chicago.Peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously.
Peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seat belts (安全带).Driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers'behavior.Because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better,they feel they can make better judgments when they drive.They are better protected in accidents,so they act more dangerously.This makes driving more  hazardous to other drivers.
The Peltzman Effect isn't just limited ( 限于) to driving.In 1972,the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles.The safety caps were designed to prevent children from accidentally  taking  the  medicine,especially painkillers such as aspirin.Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea,but there was an unexpected side effect.Because the safety caps are so hard to take off,some people leave them off altogether.Worse,some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap.A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more than 3,500children have been harmed by aspirin because of the safety caps.
The Peltzman Effect describes how we're likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest.What's more,the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from what
we expect.
21.What is the Peltzman Effect?B
A.People feel safest when they are under protection.
B.People behave less safely when they feel safe.
C.People who act dangerously are likely to be together.
D.Something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe.
22.What does the underlined word"hazardous"in Paragraph 2mean?D
A.Expensive.
B.Interesting.
C.Important.
D.Dangerous.
23.Why do some people leave the safety caps of medicine bottles open?A
A.The caps can't be opened easily.
B.The caps don't work at all.
C.The bottles without caps are less attractive to kids.
D.The bottles are out of the reach of children.
24.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.Types of Decision Making
B.Unsafe Safety Measures
C.Different Behaviors of People in Danger
D.People's Fear of Taking Risks.

2.This Saturday morning I was having a walk around,enjoying the quiet morning,beautiful weather and lovely life,with my dog Jett(61)running(run)enjoyably  beside me.
At one home I passed,I noticed a newspaper that (62)was lying (lie) by the roadside instead of near the door.Thinking I would make someone else's life a little(63)easiereasy),I picked up the paper and gently threw it towards their door.(64)Butinstead of landing on the doorstep,the paper sailed in the wrong direction because of the strong wind and landed on the roof of a big truck in the driveway.
No one saw the funny scene but me and I burst out laughing.It was very quiet and they were (65)probably (probable) still sleeping.It was too early to knock on the door and tell the homeowner (66)wheretheir newspaper was.So,instead I walked home,got dressed and went to the store to make it right.
I returned a little later with a new newspaper and a basket of strawberries freshly
(67)picked (pick) from my garden.I found the homeowner in the driveway with some of his friends.With a deep breath I came up to him and said,"I hope you have a great sense of humor."I explained what had happened (68)tohis newspaper.
Hearing this they all laughed loudly and I couldn't help but (69)smile ( smile )all day.I've heard it said."Character is what you do (70)when/while/as nobody is looking."I should be a man of character!

9.Facts About Goal Setting
These practical tips o n goal setting can help make it easier to set and reach goals:
Specific,realistic goals work best.(36)C"I'm going to recycle all my plastic bottles,soda cans,and magazines"is a much more doable goal than"I'm going to do more for the environment."And that makes it easier to stick with.(37)F
It will probably take a couple of months before any changes-like getting up halfan hour early to exercise-become a routine part of your life.That's because your brain needstime to get used to the idea that this new thing you're doing is part of your regular routine.
(38)ASay your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you're working for.Writing it down works too.Every time you remind yourself of your goal,you'retraining your brain to make it happen.(39)B
 The key to making any change is to find the desire within yourself-you have todo it because you want it,not because a girlfriend,boyfriend,coach,parent,or someone else wants you to.It will be harder to stay on track and motivated if you're doing something out of obligation to another person.
Roadblocks don't mean failure.Slip-ups are actually part of the learning process as you retrainyour brain into a new way of thinking.It may take a few tries to reach a goal.
 But that's OK-it's normal to mess up or give up a few times when trying to make a change.So remember that everyone slips up and don't beat yourself up about it.(40)D

A.Repeating a goal makes it stick.
B.Pleasing other people doesn't work.
C.You should make a change in your life.
D.Just remind yourself to get back on track.
E.Set a goal and come up wi th steps to reach it.
F.It takes time for a change to become an established habit.
G.When it comes to making a change,the people who succeed are those 
who set proper goals.

19.Researchers may have discovered a perfect material of dieting-low fat cake and cheese.British researchers say they have created a protein (蛋白质) that can replace fat perfectly.
The proteins will enable food producers to remove much of the fat used in their products but without reducing product quality.
Funded by team from University of Edinburgh,the researchers have produced the modified (调整了的) proteins that easily break down and therefore work nearly the same as the fats do during food production.
"We've paved the way for the development of modified proteins that can be used to produce a wider range of appealing low-fat foods,"said Dr.Steve Euston,who led the research."The result could be important for health benefits,as well as a reduction in the burden on the National Health Service (NHS) caused by many weight-related health problems."
Protein-for-fat substitution (替代品) is not a completely new idea,but to date it has been limited to products such as yogurts.
In cheeses and cakes it has proved less successful in ensuring the original taste and texture fundamental to consumer satisfaction,mainly because proteins could not mimic the behavior of fats closely enough.
By studying the proteins'chemical structure,the team has developed a detailed understanding of how proteins behave when they are heated or go through other food producing processes.
The proteins could encourage development of a wider choice of low-fat foods,helping consumers to eat more healthily and reducing weight-related health problems.
The team has achieved particularly promising results in using proteins to replace eggs,which is commonly used in bakery items.
Such substitution not only cuts fat content; because eggs can be subject to sharp changes in price.It could also cut the cost products and so encourage consumers to eat more healthily.
32.What can we learn from the passage?A
A.The NHS will benefit from this new finding.
B.The research team is funded by food producers.
C.Protein for fat substitution is a completely new idea.
D.Products of modified proteins have been put on sale.
33.The underlined word"mimic"meansD.
A.reduce        B.make              C.remove D.imitate(模仿)
34.These new proteins work nearly the same as the fats do becauseB.
A.they will cut fat content easily           
B.they will break down easily
C.their products are cheaper and healthier    
D.they ensure the original taste and texture
35. Which of the following is the best title?A
A.A Special Protein                      
B.How Proteins Work
C.Cut Down the Food Cost                
D.A Special Research Team.

6.World travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travelers to plan their trips online.Virtual tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new,has seen some tourism websites grow to host over one-million users.
   Typically,this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question.Tips and information are not provided by a single source,such as the website host,but rather from travelers themselves-often in the thousands.This has proven to be exceptionally beneficial for would-be travelers who are seeking infomtation on questions such as where to find the best museum or beach; whether it is better to tour Brussels with a bicycle or on foot; and which exchange rate bureaus are available in Italy.Questions about food and restaurants; tourist spots; safety; accommodation; and others are all answered.In addition,posted tips promote better preparation,such as what to pack when heading for Sicily(西西里岛).
   Apart from the useful tips,visual images and virtual tours have also been made available.If you'd like to visit the Eiffel Tower,it's a good idea to view the surrounding areas; to pick a safer train route; or to know that it's very close to the Seine River and that a walk along it would enhance the experience.
   Virtual tours have sprung up globally.In South Africa,John Gore established the Virtual Tour Guide in November last year.On his blog,Gore was quoted a saying,"The world is panoramic(全景的)."'We are able to tum our heads and look in all directions and get a feel for where we are,but the typical photograph cannot show or describe that experience completely."However,there is an answer-technology makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360 degree panoramic way,which really makes the viewer feel as though he or she is really there.
67.Why is virtual tourism more and more popular?B
A.Online games are more and more attractive.
B.Many new websites appear and develop fast.
C.More and more people want to travel abroad.
D.It helps travelers save as much money as possible.
68.From the second paragraph we knowD
A.we can solve any problem on websites          
B.websites offer all the tips and information
C.we can get all our questions answered online     
D.we can get many tips about tourism on websites
69.What does the underlined word"sprung up"most probably mean?A
A.Appeared.B.Moved.C.Competed.D.Reduced.
70.What makes us see the world in a panoramic way?C
A.Information.B.Photograph.C.Technology.D.Virtual images.

4.I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free.But eight months ag our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed.No problem,I thought:we'll buy another.But the insurance payout didn't even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that,with the loan (贷款) we'd need plus petrol,insurance parking permits and tax,we would make a payment as much as£600a month.
And that's when I had my fancy idea.Why not just give up having a car at all?I live in London.We have a railway station behind our house,a tube station 10minutes'walk away,and a bus stop at the end of the street.A new car club had just opened in our area,and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby.If any family in Britain could live without a car,I reasoned,then surely we were that family.
But my new car-free idea,sadly,wasn't shared by my family.My teenage daughters were horrified.What would their friends think about our family being"too poor to afford a car"?(I wasn't that bothered what they thought,and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends,too,were astonished at our plan.What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital?(an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events?(buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas,before saying they were sure I'd soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on,I wonder whether we'll ever own a car again.The ideathat you"have to"own a car,especially if you live in a city,is all in the mind.I live-and many other citizens do too-in a place that has never been better served by public transport,and yet car ownership has never been higher.We worry about rising car costs,but e'd be better off asking something much more basic:do I really need a car?Certainly the answer is no,and I'm a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.
28.The author decided to live a car-free life partly becauseC.
A.most families chose to go car-free          
B.he was hurt in a terrible car accident
C.the cost of a new car was too much         
D.the traffic jam was unbearable for him
29.What is the attitude of the author's family toward his plan?B
A.Supportive.
B.Disapproving.
C.Optimistic.
D.Unconcerned.
30.What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends'opinion?D
A.Argue against it.
B.Take their advice.
C.Think it over.
D.Leave it alone.
31.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?C
A.Life cannot go without a car.
B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.
C.His life gets improved without a car.
