题目列表(包括答案和解析)
阅读下面材料,David、Lucy、Carl、Nancy和Ruby都有一些与健康有关的困惑.阅读第63至第67题中的个人情况说明和A到F六则不同建议,选出符合个人情况的最佳选项,选项中有一项是多余选项.
81. David: When I have a headache, a nap helps. Sometimes, though, it causes a headache. Why?
82. Lucy: My sister says I drink too much tea. Is that possible?
83. Carl: I get back and neck pain whenever I’m driving. How can I adjust my seat to prevent it?
84. Nancy: My favorite sports drink now comes with protein, will it help me when I run?
85. Ruby: I’ve seen some drugstore products for cleaning toothbrushes. I never clean mine. Is that OK?
A
There’s no proof that toothbrush germ will hurt you. Microwaving or running your brush through the dishwasher only damages the brushes, too. All you really need to do is to rinse(冲刺)your brush thoroughly after each use, and throw it away after 3 to 4 months-or sooner if it’s looking worn. Store it standing upright, uncovered, where it can air out.
B
One third of people who eat ice cream get a headache. “Brain freeze” happens when something is too cold in the roof of your mouth. The cold causes blood vessels in your brain to expand, sparking a headache. Keep the ice cream toward the front of your mouth, and enjoy each bite slowly. That may avoid such a headache.
C
Some reports say that tea can reduce the iron amount you absorb from food by up to 70 percent. But, as long as you’re not drinking more than four 8-ounce cups a day, there’s no reason to worry. People can get plenty of iron from cereals, meat and multivitamins.
D
Make the seat back upright so that your lower back presses comfortably against it. Then move the seat forward enough that you don’t have to stretch out for the pedals(踏板), but not so close that you hang over the heels like a little old lady. Your hands should be just below shoulder height when they’re at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions.
E
You’re right. A nap is a great way to reduce a headache, especially the tension kind that’s most common. But just as there are two sides to every coin, a nap can also bring on a headache. That’s why specialists advise people not to oversleep. Stick as closely as you can to a regular sleep schedule.
F
It may help you feel better after you run. In a recent study, researchers gave two kinds of sports drinks-one regular and one with protein. Those who had the protein sports drink kept 15 percent more fluids(液体)than those on an ordinary sports drink. In the study, benefits of the protein drink continued for 3 hours, and researchers believe the effect could last a whole day.

5 steps to getting the best price in buying a new car.
Ideally, a dealership should help you find the right vehicle at a fair price. But some dealers place more emphasis on their profit margins than on satisfying their customers.
Read the following situations and match the advice with them.
56. Many dealerships prey on the unprepared. Going into a showroom “cold”--without having gathered key facts and preliminary(初步的) pricing figures--gives the salesperson too much control over the buying process.
57. The dealer invoice price is commonly available on Web sites and in pricing guides. But the invoice price isn't necessarily what the dealer paid. There are often behind-the-scenes bonuses(幕后红利), such as dealer incentives and holdbacks, that give the dealer more profit margin.
58. Salespeople like to mix financing, leasing, and trade-in negotiations together, often asking you to negotiate around a monthly payment figure. This tactic(策略) gives the dealer more latitude to offer you a favorable figure in one area while inflating figures in another.
59. The salesperson may try to sign you up for a higher rate than you could get elsewhere.
60. Dealers often try to sell you extras such as rust proofing, fabric protection, and paint protectant, or push etching your Vehicle Identification Number on windows to deter thieves.
请结合以上情形,与下面的建议进行匹配。
When buying a car, keep your interests front and center--and avoid common pitfalls(缺陷) that can cost you extra money--by following these tips:
A. Don't assume that the sticker price(标价) is the purchase price(买价).
To get the lowest price, go in with a starting price that's based not on the sticker price but on how much the dealer paid for the vehicle.
A reasonable price to start negotiations is either 4 to 8 percent over what the dealer paid or the CR Wholesale Price, depending on the demand for the model.
B. Do your homework.
Thoroughly research your choices. Read a variety of reviews. Check the reliability, safety, fuel economy, and pricing of any models you're considering. And don't wait until the day you plan to buy to test drive the vehicles. If you have a trade-in, know its approximate worth. That will depend on the vehicle's age, condition, mileage, and equipment, as well as where you trade it in.
C. Negotiate one thing at one time.
Make clear that you want the lowest possible mark-up over your starting price. Add that you intend to visit other dealerships selling the same vehicle and will buy from the dealer with the best price.
Only after you've settled on the price should you discuss financing, leasing, or a trade-in, as necessary. Negotiate each item individually. Remember, you're in charge and can leave at any time. Heading for the door can sometimes jump-start a slow-moving negotiation or bring a lower offer.
D. Don't pay for extras you don't need.
Don't accept those unnecessary services and fees. If the items are on the bill of sale, put a line through them. Vehicle bodies are already coated to protect against rust. And CR reliability surveys show that rust is not a major problem with modern cars. You can treat upholstery and apply paint protectant yourself with good off-the-shelf products. You can also do your own VIN etching with a kit that costs about $25.
E. Other costs.
In addition to the vehicle price, you need to consider other costs, including: Sales tax ; Registration fees ; Insurance premiums
Taxes and registration fees can increase your out-of-pocket cost by as much as 10 percent or more, and driving a car that’s worth more than your current one will cost more to insure. Be sure to check with your insurance agent or get insurance quotes online so you understand what you’re getting into.
F. Arrange financing in advance.
Compare interest rates at several banks, credit unions, and loan organizations before checking the dealer's rates. If pre-approved for a loan, you can keep financial arrangements out of the negotiations. Automakers may offer attractive financing terms, but make sure you qualify for them.
