     (10·浙江E篇)

    I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?”  He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied ,“There is nothing wrong with it？” This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no. But you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”

     I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

    But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers… and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.

    Why do we think that new options(选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

    57.The shop assistant insisted that the writer should               

    A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it.

    B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others.

    C. get more information about different companies.

    D. trust him and stop asking questions.

    58. What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it ”(paragraph 2)

    A. He should get a 50% discount.

    B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

    C. The quality of the camera was not good.

    D. The camera would soon fall in value.

    59. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he                  

    A. knew very little about it.

    B. didn’t trust the shop assistant.

    C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best.

    D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers.

    60. I t can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion,            .

    A. people waste too much money on cameras

    B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life

    C. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product

    D. famous companies care more about profit than quality

    Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of  “grey matter” and

    It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.

    There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!

    The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about mine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children ad young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors(祖先) ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.

    If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it.” says a biologist.

    1.Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?

    A．Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s

    B．Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.

    C．Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.

    D．Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.

    2.What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?

    A．Women prefer doing many things at a time.

    B．Men do better dealing with one job at a time.

    C．Women do not need to tell directions.

    D．Men have weaker spatial abilities.

    3. Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?

    A．Young boys may be stronger than young girls.

    B．More women take up jobs requiring speech skills

    C．Women may have stronger feelings than men.

    D．Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.

    4.What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?

    A．Defensive.

    B．Persuasive.

    C．Supportive.

    D．Objective.

    Brian Walker chews pens.He bites them so hard that his boss has warned him to stop or buy his own.Katie’s weakness is more acceptable—she is unable to walk past a cake shop without overeating.Sophia Cartier finds her cigarette habit a headache,while Alice’s thumb-sucking drives her boy friend crazy.Four people with very different habits,but they all share a common problem anxiety disorder or,in serious cases.Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD).

    From nail-biting to too much hand-washing,overeating and internet addiction(上瘾)，OCD is widespread in almost every workplace and countless homes.“It is a relatively common form of anxiety,”says Dr.Mootee.“The main feature of OCD is the repetition of unwanted obsersive(过度的) thoughts such as worries that doors are left unlocked,gas or electrical appliances are left on.”In order to fight against the anxiety and distress caused by these obsessions,an OCD sufferer performs some form of repetitive act such as hand-washing,checking door locks and gas or electrical appliances.

    Dr.Mootee says that repetitive washing,particularly of the hands,is the most common type of OCD.She has treated many patients who wash their hands up to 30 times a day.The technique Mootee uses to treat people with OCD is called cognitive-behavioral therapy(认知行为疗法).“It is based on the general idea that people have the ability to change the way they think and behave,”says Mootee.

    But when does a habit become a problem?“It’s personal,”says Mootee.“Everyone has something unusual,but if you can’t put up with it,then it’s a problem and you need to do something to change it.”Mootee says many people resist going for treatment because they fear they are “crazy”.But as people become more knowledgeable about these problems they will go and get help.The only way to cure is to conquer.

    1.If a person suffers from OCD,he is likely to keep doing any of the following EXCEPT ______.

    A.chewing pens                          B.hurting himself

    C.sucking fingers                           D.biting nails

    2.According to the passage,a person suffering from OCD ______.

    A.reduces his/her anxiety by taking drugs

    B.gets into unwanted habits to relieve stress

    C.has unwanted thoughts about habits

    D.has unwanted thoughts because of illness

    3.Dr.Mootee’s treating technique is based on the idea that ______.

    A.everyone has something different

    B.people can put up with their problems

    C.people can change their way of thinking and action

    D.people tend to repeat their obsessive actions

    4.By saying“The only way to cure is to conquer.”Dr.Mootee suggests that an OCD sufferer ______.

    A.has to be an extraordinary person

    B.must cure his illness by himself

    C.must overcome many physical illnesses

    D.should have a right attitude towards the problem
