Pennebaker, chair of the psychology department at the University of Texas at Austin, US. He was quoted in a recent Wall Street Journal article about a speech 36 many of us share“verbal tee-ups.”What are verbal tee-ups? They are like a cushion to 37 the blow when one wants to 38 bad or unpleasant newsFor example，have you ever been told by your friend：“I am telling you this because I love you，but you really need to lose weight.” Or by your colleague：“No 39 , but to be honest, I thinkyour presentation 40 the point.”A Slate article gives a few examples of other verbal tee-ups. You can 41 yourself from yourunpleasant words by starting it with “Please understand” You can even try to manage your listeners42 : “Dont take this the wrong way, but” or “Dont get mad, but”Some verbal tee-ups are simply 43 . For example, “Im not saying,” or “I dont mean to say” Such as, “I am not saying we should stop seeing each other, but I need some space to think about our44 .”For the speakers, verbal tee-ups are used to make it easier to say something 45 . They sound 46 and polite. But Pennebaker, who 47 these phrases, says in many cases, the point of these phrases “is to formalize social relations so you dont have to 48 your true self.”Elizabeth Bernstein, who wrote the Wall Street Journal article, says these sayings so frequently 49truthful.36.

One day I was in the library, working on a term paper, when I came across a book of contemporary poetry. I dont remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one: “Frankensteins Daughter.” The poem was wild, almost rude, and nothing like the rhyme-and-meter poetry I had read in high school. I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach, but that library book contained direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs, junked cars, rundown houses, and TVs. I checked the book out, curious to read more.Soon afterward, I started filling a notebook with my own poems. At first I was scared, partly because my poetry teacher, to whom this book is written for, was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems. Also, I realized the seriousness of my devotion. I gave up geography to study poetry, which a good many friends said offered no future. I ignored them because I liked working with words, using them to reconstruct the past, which has always been a source of poetry for me.When I first studied poetry, I was single-minded. I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry. I memorized poems, read English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems, and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my work. But I was most taken by the Spanish and Latin American poets, particularly Pablo Neruda. My favorites of his were the odes long, short-lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes, socks and scissors. I felt joyful when I read these odes, and when I began to write my own poems, I tried to remain faithful to the common things of mychildhood dogs, alleys (小巷), my baseball mitt (手套) and the fruit of the valley, especially the orange. Iwanted to give these things life, to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.I also admired our own countrys poetry. I saw that our poets often wrote about places where they grew up or places that impressed them deeply. James Wright wrote about Ohio and West Virginia, Philip Levine about Detroit, Gary Snyder about the Sierra Nevadas and about Japan, where for years he studied ZenBuddhism (禅宗佛教). I decided to write about the San Joaquin Valley, where my hometown, Fresno, islocated. Some of my poems are absolute observations and images of nature the orange yards, the KingsRiver, the Sequoias (红杉). I fell in love with the valley, both its ugliness and its beauty, and quietly wrote poems about it to share with others.58. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The authors experiences with poetry.B. The authors method of writing poetry. C. The authors appreciation of poetry.D. The authors interest in studying poetry.59. From the first paragraph, we can learn that .A. “Frankensteins Daughter” was a flowery poetryB. the author was able to memorize most poems he readC. the author began to get in contact with poetry of different stylesD. the author was curious to read more of rhyme-and-meter poetry60. Which of the following would the author most probably write about in his poem?A. Moving love stories in history. B. Observations of classical poems.C. True feelings of human friendship. D. Appreciation of wild valley flowers.61. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The authors friends all encouraged him to give up geography to poetry. B. The author became devoted to poetry because of his teachers strictness. C. The author loved to find sources of poetry from nature and from the past.D. Spanish and Latin American poems influenced the author as much as Chinese ones.CAnyone watching the autumn sky knows that migrating birds fly in a V formation, but scientists have long debated why. A new studyfinds that these bigwinged birds carefully position their wingtips andflap(拍动) at the same rate, probably to catch the upward movement of air and save energy during flight.There are two reasons birds might fly in a V formation: It may make flight easier, or theyre simply following the leader. Squadrons(中 队) of planes can save fuel by flying in a V formation, and manyscientists suspect that migrating birds do the same. Models that treatedflapping birds like fixedwing airplanes show that they probably save energy by drafting off each other, but currents created by airplanes are far more stable than those coming off of birds.Just as aerodynamic(气动力) calculations would predict, the birds positioned themselves to fly just behind and to the side of the bird in front, timing their wing flaps to catch the uplifting eddies(涡流). Whena bird flew directly behind another, the timing of the flapping reversed(相反) so that it could minimize the effects of the downdraft coming off the back of the birds body. “We didnt think this was possible，”Usherwood says, considering that the difficult achievement requires careful flight and incredible awareness of ones neighbors. “Perhaps these big V formation birds can be thought of quite like an airplane with wings that go up and down.”The findings likely apply to other longwinged birds, such as pelicans and geese, Usherwood says.Smaller birds create more complex wakes(尾波) that would make drafting too difficult. The researchers did not attempt to calculate the birds energy savings because the necessary physiological measurements wouldbe too invasive for an endangered species. Previous studies show that birds can use 20% to 30% less energy while flying in a V.Scientists do not know how the birds find that aerodynamic sweet spot, but they suspect that the animals line themselves up either by sight or by sensing air currents through their feathers. In future studies, the researchers will switch to more common birds, such as pigeons or geese. They plan to investigate how the animals decide who sets the course and the pace, and whether a mistake made by the leader can ripple through the rest of the flock to cause traffic jams.62. The author takes squadrons of planes for example to show A. birds may save energy by flying in a V formation B. birds fly in a V formation for many more reasons C. planes flying in a V formation follow the leaderD. planes flying in a V formation are more economical63. Why did Usherwood think it impossible for a bird to fly directly behind another?A. Because birds differ from airplanes in wings.B. Because birds know nothing about aerodynamics.C. Because birds could hardly create stable currents as planes.D. Because birds have to overcome great difficulties when flying.64. What is the scientists attitude toward the findings mentioned in the passage?A. Cautious.B. Contradictory.C. Confident.D. Critical.65. What would the researchers do in their future studies about the birds?A. Calculate the birds energy savings.B. Do research on more common birds. C. Find how the birds line themselves up.D. Apply the findings to smaller birds.DJane Austen has often been considered a woman who led a narrow, inhibited life and who rarely traveled. These assertions are far from the truth. Jane Austen traveled more than most women of her time and was quite involved in the lives of her brother, so much that it often interfered with
