PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A Next time you find yourself drenched in an unexpected heavy rain, look on the bright side – it will be a memorable experience. While wet weather may make us feel gloomy, it sharpens the memory and improves our recall. But those who feel in a good mood because it’s a sunny day are able to remember less well, according to memory tests carried by Australian researchers. Professor Joe Forgas, who led the research, said: “It seems strange but a little bit of sadness is a good thing. People performed much better on our memory test when the weather was unpleasant and they wee in a slightly negative mood. On bright sunny days, when they were more likely to be happy, the flunked it. The tests were carried out on shoppers at a store in Sydney, where researchers randomly placed ten small objects on the check – out counter. On rainy days, sad music was played in the store. When it was bright and sunny, customers heard cheery music. This was done to further influence them towards negative or positive moods. After shopping, customers were asked how many of the objects they could remember. Their scores were three times higher when the weather was had and they were feeling angry, compared with those tested on sunny days. The results were published in Journal of Experimental Psychology. A report on the findings said: “They point to a growing body of evidence that the way people think, the quality of their judgments and the accuracy of their memory are all significantly influenced by positive and negative moods. Professor Forgas said, “We found that weather – inducted negative mood improved memory accuracy. Shoppers in a negative mood showed better memory and higher discrimination ability. A worse mood helped to focus people’s attention on their surroundings and led to a more thorough and careful thinking style, while happiness increased confidence and forgetfulness. Being happy tends to promote a thinking style that is less focused on our surroundings. In a positive mood we are less likely to make more snap judgments about people we meet. Mild negative mood, in turn, tends to increase attention to our surroundings and produce a more careful, thorough thinking style. Accurately remembering everyday scenes is a difficult task, yet such memories can be on importance in everyday life. Surprisingly, the influence of mood states on the accuracy of real-life memories is still poorly understood. 查看更多

The weather has always been a popular topic in our daily life. But it is sometimes no one can control, 1 he is rich or poor ,young or old in every 2 of the world. Maybe that is the 3 why there are so many 4 about the weather, especially about rain.

Sometimes, when you 5 rain, you do not get any . Other times, you 6 rain when you don’t want it . 7 a baseball game, for example. A sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game, 8 the players and the 20,000 persons watching the game to run for 9 .

If the game 10 continue, people who bought tickets are given “rain checks”. These are 11 tickets that will let them see a 12 game for free.

“Rain Check” now means a second 13 at something. Often ,a rain check has nothing to 14 with rain.

Stores may offer “rain checks “ 15 they sell out all of a product a television set , for example 16 a special low price. After all the TV sets are 17 , the store gives rain checks to 18 who wanted to buy one. The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later, at the 19 low price, after the store receives some 20 from the factory.

“Rain Check”also is used in social 21 .It’s a way of 22 aninvitation, but for a later time.

You may ask for a “Rain Check” if you are 23 to a friend’s house for dinner, but can’t be there. You say ,“I would love to 24 you for dinner, but I’m busy. Could I have a rain check?”You are asking , in other 25 ,if you could join your friend for dinner at another time.

I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I

1    try to be a loving husband and father. Totally    2   . No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a commentator    3    my car's tape player. He was _4__ a passage about husbands being    5    of their wives.    6    he went on to say, “Love is an act    7 will. A person can choose to love. “To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband,

8    our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity (感觉迟钝). In unimportant ways, really scolding Evelyn for her tardiness (拖拉);     9    on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing    10    day-old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would    11   . And it    12   . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said. That new yellow sweater looks    13    on you. “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and    14   . Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought.” Evelyn's been alone here with the children    15    week and now she wants to be alone with me. “We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites. So it went.
