    When buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be:
    As described:
    This includes the history of the car as well as its specification．For example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner”, it shouldn’t turn out to have had several previous “boy racer” owners.
    Of satisfactory quality:
    It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problem．Also, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory, because there’s certainly an element of wear and tear．
    Fit for the purpose:
    It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the seller．
    ●If any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the right to reject the vehicle and get your money back if you’re reasonably quick. Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款).Once you’ve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car , you must stop using the vehicle.
    ●If the rejection is not accepted, then it’s up to you to prove your case. You’ll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue（打官司，起诉）for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.
    ●If the car is new, it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.
    小题1:According to the text, what is essential after you inform the dealer of your wish to reject the car?
    A．Stopping using itB．Demanding traveling expenses．
    C．Suing for damages．D．Proving your case．
    小题2:If the dealer offers to repair the car you have bought, which of the following is acceptable?
    A．Asking the dealer to provide you with repair tool sets
    B．Asking the dealer to provide you with a hire car
    C．Asking the dealer to pay all of your traveling expenses．
    D．Asking the dealer to return all your money．
    小题3:Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in
    the last paragraph?
    A．Different．B．Discouraging．C．Effective．D．Convenient．
    小题4:What does the writer want to say in the last paragraph?
    A．Buyers should select a dealer that offers to repair the car．
    B．Buyers should never reject a new car．
    C．It’s necessary that a new car should be repaired．
    D．Rejecting a new car is not necessarily the best choice．
    小题5:After reading the passage, you will be better at         .
    A．choosing a carB．making a claim
    C．dealing with car sellersD．suing for damages

    小题1:A

    In the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well．
    First, let's talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it．
    This has several implications（含义）. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now，however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”，but "text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are."
    Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”－those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.
    They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well．
    Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
    Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on people's privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn't worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.
    小题1:According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effects are mostly likely to be seen on                    
    A．talkersB．the “speakeasy”C．the “spacemaker"D．texters
    小题2: We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are
    A．quite revealingB．well written
    C．unacceptable by othersD．shocking to others
    小题3:According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?
    A．Talkers. B．The“speakeasy”
    C．The “spacemaker”.D．Texters.
    小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
    A．The SMS Effect
    B．Cultural implications of Mobile Phone Use
    C．Changes in the Use of the Mobile
    D．Body Language and the Mobile Phone

    Actually we have known a lot of examples and meaningful words to support the fact that we should try our best to ease the bad impression of others. Just like the old saying goes, we should give a better assumption to the one than we think he was. But many of us always fail to do this.
    Take the situation of my class for example. Right at the beginning of the first semester when we were freshmen we all showed great favor to each other. And when there was an activity that needed some people to join, we would be willing to attend whether it was interesting or not. And we were really like brothers and sisters, and our class was just like a family, a warm family. But now, I feel tired of those meaningless activities not only because of the boring activities themselves but also the cool response of our classmates.
    I think the reasons why the passion of most classmates is so low may be as follows:
    To start with, many of us take part in more than one organization, which will certainly make us tired. Also, in the study fields, many of us may find that our courses are sometimes difficult to understand or comprehend, especially the specialized subjects. Moreover, “history” teaches us that if one does not study hard, it is possible to fail in the exams. So it is a big and good excuse to say that “I do really want to attend, but I have a lot of homework to do, so...”
    Last but not least, some people believe that some of our leaders should not be regarded as a leader, maybe I should say we, as leaders, lost the reputation, support and trust of yours. At least I am the warm-hearted one, although I cannot promise you that your advice will be adopted surely, at least I will spare no effort to “give” you the right to be heard, and to serve you.
    Be active to show your talents and abilities and to create a better image of our class. Most important of all, work painstakingly for a better condition that we should have reached.
    小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Students’ passion for activities was high at first but disappeared gradually.
    B．Students’ passion for activities grew gradually because they were interesting.
    C．Students were too busy to take part in activities after their classes.
    D．Students were unwilling to participate in activities because of their leaders.
    小题2:We can infer from the passage that the writer must be ______.
    A．a supporter of activitiesB．a responsible teacher
    C．a top student in classD．a devoted class leader
    小题3:The writer hopes that all the members of the class will ______.
    A．develop better talents and skillsB．improve their abilities and creativity
    C．work together to make a better class D．adopt others’ advice patiently

    A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me. ”However，that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves--the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
    We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact，we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
    This “self—talk” helps us motivate ourselves，remember things, solve problems，and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77％of self—talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back . The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
    Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
    Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said．And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
    Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self—esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
    小题1:The main idea of the first paragraph is that         ．
    A．not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
    B．inspiring words give us confidence
    C．negative words may let us down
    D．words have a lasting effect on us
    小题2:There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because       ．
    A．almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
    B．we can benefit from talking to ourselves
    C．talking to ourselves always gives us courage
    D．it does no harm to have“self—talk”when we are alone
    小题3:The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely     ．
    A．praise ourselvesB．remind ourselves
    C．make ourselves relaxedD．give ourselves amusement
    小题4:The author would probably hold the view that        ．
    A．encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
    B．negative words may stimulate us to make more progress
    C．people tend to remember friendly words
    D．it is better to think twice before talking to others

    My son Jack, a fourth grader, was having a hard time in getting interested in story books recently, so I offered to read the first few chapters to him. In the early pages of ‘Incident at Halk Hill’, a quiet little boy has a special meeting with a female badger (獾).Soon after, another badger is caught in a steel leg trap(陷阱), and the author describes in detail the pain and scare of an animal struggling to its death. We meet the cruel hunter and his ill treatment of a dog; we see the badger being skinned by the boy's father；and we experience the child's confusion when beaten by his father in anger. Pretty heavy going for ten-year-olds, I thought.
    Last night , I returned from a weekend away to find that Jack had finished the whole book on his own. “It was really, really good and sad, and violent，” he reported. “There was a lot of killing.”
    “Were there any happy parts?" I asked,
    "The boy's life was saved by the badger, and that was good. But then that badger got caught in a trap again and at the end it's dying, too. ” Jack said, "It was so sad that I almost cried. ”
    I told him that many books have made me cry, beginning with Heidi, when I was just his age, right on up to the novel I finished last week.
    “Well，” he admitted then, “I actually did cry. Reading that book just reminded me of all the sadness in the world, and it made me feel sad ,too. ”
    So, I think, now he has been through the sad tone of the passage , the discovery that words on a printed page can give rise to such strong emotion ，that a book can move you right out of your own comfortable little self and into someone else's pain. Thus we come to realize that if we are to remain fully engaged in life, open to its mysteries and feel sorry towards its suffering, we indeed need stories to grab（抓住） us by the neck and remind us of the sadness in the world that is not our own.
    小题1:‘Incident at Halk Hill’ is a _______story.
    A．sadB．happy C．funny D．boring
    小题2:The underlined sentence “Pretty heavy going for ten-year-olds" means____
    A．the book is too long for a ten year old child
    B．the book is too difficult for a ten year old child
    C．the book is too violent(暴力) for a ten year old child
    D．the book is too pretty for a ten year old child
    小题3:According to the passage , stories can be something to help you_____
    A．enjoy your spare timeB．develop your care for animals
    C．realize the truth of lifeD．think about your own life
    小题4:By writing the passage, the writer mainly wants to____.
    A．tell a story that interested his son
    B．show the importance of reading stories
    C．share an experience between himself and his son
    D．show how to make children interested in books

    Rather than talk about how he feels, often a man would express his love by buying the woman cosmetics (化妆品), or bringing home a flower, or giving up the control of the remote (遥控器).
    And when men do talk, they’d prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions. For example, a lot of men would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summer’s vacation plans, not by starting a conversation about undying love.
    Men just prefer to say their plans with plane tickets, rather than poetry. It’s one of the reasons why men are more comfortable talking at work (the practical world) than they are at home (the castle that emotion built). But you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like he’s operating in the work mode, even when the topic at hand is your love life.
    When men talk less and women want more, the conflict can escalate. Like when a policeman is questioning an unwilling witness, more silence equals more questions. A full 65 percent of men we surveyed recently told us that they don’t want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves.
    It’s clear that some men are just tired of feeling like they’re on the witness stand. They’re not necessarily hiding anything; many men simply prefer not to have to tell confusing feelings that they may not even understand themselves.
    An age-old method can make things better: back off a little, give him room to operate in a conversation, and he’s more likely to open up.
    小题1:According to the author, men feel more comfortable when talking        .
    A．actionsB．feelings
    C．long-term friendshipD．conversations
    小题2:How can women communicate more successfully with men?
    A．They may give men a surprise by buying plane tickets.
    B．They can ask men if they have a great time during working.
    C．They might create a warm home environment first of all.
    D．They can give men the feeling that they are talking at work.
    小题3:The underlined word “escalate” has the similar meaning to       .
    A．decreaseB．disappearC．changeD．increase
    小题4:From the text it can be inferred that       .
    A．women are better at writing poems about emotions than men
    B．it is natural for women to be fond of finding the faults of men
    C．men are more interested in learning more about their partners
    D．men prefer to pour out their hearts in a forgiving environment

    During communication, “words” express only 7% of meanings between people. About 23% of meanings are from the “tone of voice” and 70% of meanings come from “body language”. So next time you want someone’s attention—try body language instead.
    Everyone does it, and most interestingly—most do it unconsciously. You may wonder: “Does that mean I have to study psychology to succeed in reading body language?” The answer is “no” because most people are already body language readers.
    It’s a skill developed since we’re babies—think of how most babies can recognize facial expressions and get attention without saying anything. That is, you needn’t spend most of your time practicing some of your body language cues(暗示)!
    However, you should know that the context(语境) is king. It suggests that, depending on the context of the situation, people will hide body language cues. So sometimes cues can be tricky: a woman who locks her arms may think you are boring—or she may just feel cold. You must learn to read into the context as well as the cues. Sometimes people care more about their body language cues. For example, poker(扑克牌戏) players will consciously hide more of their body language cues.
    The first place to start when reading a person’s body language is the face. The easiest way to hide your feelings is to cover your face. This is why it’s sometimes hard to tell if an Islamic girl likes you.
    If the eyes are the windows of the mind, the eyebrows(眉毛) are the windows of the eyes. So, notice how a person’s eyebrows will generally rise when they meet someone, see something they like or are surprised at. Eyes generally smile along with the mouth when someone is happy, so everyone knows “^ . ^”.
    小题1:The first paragraph is mainly to show _____.
    A．how to express your meanings clearly
    B．how to draw other’s attention
    C．the importance of body language
    D．the role of words in communication
    小题2:Most of the time in our daily life, we ______.
    A．find body language very interesting
    B．don’t realize we’re using body language
    C．hardly use any body language
    D．use body language on purpose
    小题3:What does the saying “the context is king” suggest?
    A．The context results from body language.
    B．The context makes body language difficult.
    C．The context helps when reading body language.
    D．The context is more important than body language.
    小题4:Who will hide their body language cues on purpose according to the text?
    A．ScientistsB．Farmers.C．Teachers.D．Poker players.
