Britains relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys the pride as the UKs national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day. With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, 400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways? One argument is that caffeine improves mental state a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work. Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if theyre often drinking it and then go without, theyll feel tired and wont work well.” Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper. And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; theyre comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeines doing, Id say these 24 minutes arent wasted.” 56. What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.C. Tea break plays an important role in peoples life in Britain.D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.57. We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _.A. 400 is lost in working hours for each person B. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayC. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearD. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day58. Whats Psychologist Coopers attitude towards tea break?A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Negative. D. Positive. BLONDON A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的）bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadnt cared about potentially deadly consequences.It is believed that James McCormick got about $77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors which were based on a kind of golf ball finder to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia. McCormick, 57，was convicted (判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people, Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”The detectors, sold for up to $ 42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.59. Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?A. He sold bombs. B. He caused death of people.C. He made detectors. D. He cheated in business.60. According to the judge, what McCormick had done _ .A. increased the cost of safeguardingB. lowered peoples guard against dangerC. changed peoples idea of social security D. caused innocent people to commit crimes61. Which of the following is true of the detectors?A. They have not been sold to Africa.B. They have caused many serious problems.C. They can find dangerous objects in water. D. They dont function on the basis of science.62. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _ .A. sold the equipment at a low priceB. was well-known in most countriesC. did not think he had committed the crimeD. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the textCIn ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over todays conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says its going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile，“Oh that bus left five minutes ago. ” Dreams of head-cutting!Its not the news that makes someone angry. Its the unsympathetic attitude with which its delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didnt get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you are tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isnt ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, thats all right Ill catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the hombarded(被轰炸的）person is sure to have.63. In Paragraph l, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to _A. make a comparison B introduce a topicC. describe a sceneD. offer an argument64. In the writers opinion, his neighbor was_.A.friendly B. warm-hearted C not considerate D. not helpful65. From “Dreams of head-cutting！(Paragraph 3) ,we learn that the writer_.A. was mad at the sales agentB. was reminded of the cruel pharaohC. wished that the sales agent would have had dreamsD. dreamed of cutting the sales agents head that night.66. What is the main idea of the text?A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D.Learning ancient traditions can be useful. DSometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you dont act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo (禁忌) behavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject. One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about constantly. Its not taboo to talk about fat; its taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim manager to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is in”, fat is “out”. Its not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for peoples obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, peoples bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate , millions of people are spending more of their time exercising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day. 67. What does the word “taboo refer to in the passage? A. A crime committed on impulse. B. An unfavorable impression left on other people. C. A strong desire to do something strange or terrible. D. Behavior considered unacceptable to the society. 68. What does the underlined phrase “in” look probably mean? A. The fashionable look. B. The hidden look.C. The usual look. D. The inside look. 69. According to the passage, the common belief is that . A. fat people are full of energyB. thin people are more successful C. fat people prefer to have fat bossesD. thin people are less image-conscious 70. People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of . A. their need to kill time B. their love for sportsC. their concern for health D. their belief in hard work第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is an English saying, “_(71)_” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously.
