The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves, 18 their steaming cups of coffee.Reaching into my pocket as the 19 was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 20 ! I searched through my bag and then I felt 21 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, Id be 22 there.“Whats the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me.“Oh, nothingWell, I 23 my money and now I cant pay for the ticket. Im going to 24 my math class and the train is leaving.”“Here, use this.”The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up, 25 . People just didnt do that any more. Everyone worried about their own 26 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers.“Thank you, but no, I cant.”“ 27 itgo!” The man pushed me 28 the train. I bought a round-trip ticket, and he refused the change I 29 to give him back. I did not know what to say a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood 30 .For the train ride I was silent. I began to see the world through 31 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple 32 .A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra $20 33 I saw the man. And there he was.“Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I 34 the money into his hand.Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes some day.” I smiled, 35 .The elderly man is my hero.

The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a wonderfully written book”. However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. In the World Book Day survey, Dreams from My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As Im not one to lie too often, Ill admit here and now that I havent read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984. I think its absolutely outstanding.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation became more in depth!The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named J.K. Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.So which books have you lied about reading if any and which is your favourite?36The main reason why people lie about reading is to _.A. make fun of the listenerB. impress the listenerC. please the listenerD. interest the listener37The underlined word “proceeded” in the passage probably means “_”.A. wantedB. happenedC. continuedD. stopped38What does the World Book Day survey show?A. Nearly half of the people surveyed didnt read through a whole classical book.B. People dont like Dreams from My Father and George Orwells 1984.C. Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen.D. People usually enjoy reading books by Charles Dickens.39What is the best title for the passage?A. Are You a Book Liar?B. Readers Are All LiarsC. World Book DayD. Dreams from My FatherBWhat will we be eating in the future? Here are the top factors that will be affecting the food that ends up on our tables in the new century.Genetically engineered food Many crops are already genetically engineered, often to produce more food, fight against pests or improve nutrition. But concern is growing over the lasting effects of changing nature. While existing research has found little harm in genetic engineering, a recent study found the flower powder of a genetically engineered corn can kill the normal butterfly. This finding made many people nervous and brought attention to the topic.Dining out Americans are increasingly eating meals away from home, both in sit-down restaurants and in fast food outlets. In the last decade alone there was a 14 percent decrease in the number of meals eaten at home. At the same time, restaurants are just beginning to really open their doors on the Internet. Websites exist to make restaurant reservations (预约), view menus, and get tips from your favorite chefs. The dining out trend and the demand for high-quality, chef-prepared food have encouraged chefs to spend time out of the kitchen teaching classes, appearing on TV, and writing cookbooks.Eating in Eating in doesnt always mean cooking. Ready-made meals and frozen food sold in supermarkets taste better all the time. Restaurants are offering neatly packaged “food to go”, and meals can be ordered over the Internet. Cooking is not as much as a necessity, as it is a hobby or a special treat.Agriculture Although American farmers have been hit hard recently by bad weather, low prices and decreasing government help, they can increase grain production not using old farming methods.40Which of the following is the main reason for genetically engineered crops?A. To lead to more food and better nutrition.B. To kill the normal butterfly.C. To reduce the harm done by insects.D. To change the nature of the crops.41From the passage, we learn that _.A. eating out is not popular among the old people in USAB. it is now easier for people to get information about eating outC. it is popular for restaurants to send out information on the InternetD. the trend of eating out is causing many chefs to give up their jobs42In the future, cooking at home will probably _.A. still be the job of most housewives B. take up most of peoples free timeC. bring much joy to more people D. lead to many restaurants closing down43According to the passage, farmers should _ to get a higher grain production.A. turn to better farming methodsB. ask for the support of the governmentC. raise the prices of cropsD. not care about the effects of bad weatherCAccording to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem.The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic groups. What they have in common is poverty.Currently in the U.S., thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you cant pay the rent with food stamps.With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative.Although men make up the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the U.S. are teenagers and young children.People may become homeless for numerous reasons. However, there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common. They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high school.The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor. One third of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol, while one quarter of the same group uses drugs.Some members of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent “home”. Unfortunately, a number of those people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves.Job loss in todays economy has also become a real factor in the loss of peoples homes. The breakup of families through abandonment and divorce is also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involved. The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads.44The writer thinks that the U.S. governments definition for the homeless shows _.A. an insincere attitude toward the homelessB. an unbearable attitude toward the homelessC. an uncivilized attitude toward the homelessD. an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless45The U.S. government helps the homeless by _.A. giving them homeless allowanceB. giving them food stampsC. finding jobs for themD. finding residence (a place to live) for them46People become homeless for all the following reasons EXCEPT _.A. the lack of adequate education B. the abuse of alcohol and drugsC. the closure of institutions for the mentally ill D. the poor performance of economy47The breakup of families is likely to lead to homelessness because a parent with kids may _.A. lose his or her job in todays economyB. be unable to look after the kidsC. not have enough incomeD. find residence at a homeless shelterDThe word “conservation” has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such a good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials: most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and could “last forever”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about correcting the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should be made part of everybodys daily life. To know about the water table in ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic math formulas. We need to know why all watersheds (上游集水区) need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to give their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, grown trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic (立方体的) volume above the earth. In a word, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.48The authors attitude towards the use of natural resources is _.A. positiveB. uninterestedC. optimisticD. critical49According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that _.A. they had no idea about scientific forestryB. they had little or no sense of environmental protectionC. they were not aware of the importance of nature studyD. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials50To avoid repeating the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that _.A. we plant more treesB. natural sciences be taught to everybodyC. environmental education be directed toward everyoneD. we return to nature51How can you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.B. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.来源:学_科_网C. We need to take some measures to protect space.D. We must preserve good living conditions for both birds and animals.EThree years ago I listened to a lecture on cognition (认知) that changed the way I think about intelligence. There are two types of cognition. The first is normal cognition: the ability to regain knowledge from memory. The second type of cognition is metacognition: the ability to know whether or not you know.Does this affect intelligence? In traditional education, intelligence is measured by cognitive ability. Some people can easily produce everything they know on a test. But others are awarded with poor grades and considered inferior. But does this inability make them any less intelligent? If the question came up on a task, they could refer to a book or a quick Google search. In reality theyre just as effective as the people that ace a test. They just cant prove it as easily.Metacognition is more important to success than cognition. A person with poor cognitive ability, but great metacognitive ability might do poorly in school, but when faced with a challenge, they understand their abilities and take the best course of action. For example, when faced with a question, a person with strong metacognitive ability will deal with it like this. If he knows the answer, but cant come up with it, he can always do a bit of research. If he knows for sure that he doesnt know, then he can start educating himself. Because hes aware of his ignorance, he doesnt act with foolish confidence. These people might not seem intelligent at first glance, but because they know what they know, they make better decisions and learn the most important things.However, people with great cognitive ability but poor metacognitive ability may be considered excellent at a young age for acing every test and getting great SAT scores. Unfortunately, theyve been ruined by poor metacognition: they think they know everything but they really dont. They are overconfident, fail to learn from mistakes, and dont understand the slight differences of personal relationships, showing disregard for persons with lower cognitive ability. They may make the worst decisions.The most important mental power is the ability to know what you dont know. The recognition of a fault is the first step to improvement. Dont try to hide a lack of knowledge. For intelligent people this is the toughest lesson to learn.52People with great cognitive ability tend to _.A. do well in testsB. be considered inferiorC. be more effective than othersD. do research when faced with a task53The
