beaten up, thrown out of their social group, and getting eaten as a resultThat is the fascinating conclusion of the latest research into fish behavior by a team of Australian scientistsThe research team has discovered that subordinate（低一等的） fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger petitors“In studying gobies we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding （繁殖） rights within the group,” explains Marian Wong“All other group members are nonbreeding females, each being 5-10% smaller than its next largest petitorWe wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation”The reason for the size difference was easy to seeOnce a subordinate fish grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger petitor, it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the groupMore often than not, the evicted fish is then eaten upIt appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fishWhether they did so voluntarily, by restraining how much they ate, was not clearThe research team decided to do an experimentThey tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happenedTo their surprise, the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered, clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a feastThe discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position in a groupPreviously it was thought that large individuals simply used their weight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food for themselves, so keeping their petitors smallWhile the habits of gobies may seem a little mysterious, DrWong explains that understanding the relationships between boss and subordinate animals is important to understand how hierarchical （等级的） societies remain stableThe research has proved the fact that voluntary dieting is a habit far from exclusive to humansAs yet, we lack a plete understanding of how widespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature, the researchers mentData on human dieting suggests that, while humans generally diet to improve health or increase attractiveness, rarely does it improve long-term health and males regularly prefer females that are fatter than the females own ideal41When a goby grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger petitor, it_Aleaves the group itself Bhas breeding rightsCeats its petitor Dfaces danger42The underlined words the evicted fish in Paragraph 3 refer to_Athe fish beaten up Bthe fish driven awayCthe fish found out Dthe fish fattened up43The experiment showed that the smaller fish_Afought over a feast Bpreferred some extra foodCchallenged the boss fish Dwent on diet willingly44What is the text mainly about?AFish dieting and human dieting BDieting and healthCHuman dieting DFish dietingBNext time a customer es to your office, offer him a cup of coffeeAnd when youre doing your holiday shopping online, make sure youre holding a large glass of iced teaThe physical sensation（感觉） of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisionsthose are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John ABarghPsychologists have known that one persons perception（感知）of anothers “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationshipsJudging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even beating evidence that a “cold” person may be more capableMuch of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldnessClassic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottleHarlows work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skillsFeelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universalAlthough no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is mon to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countriesTo test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college studentsA research assistant handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information formThe drink was then handed backAfter that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular descriptionThose who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh45According to Paragraph 1, a persons emotion may be affected by _Athe psychology lessons he has Bhis physical feeling of coldnessCthe visitors to his office Dthe things he has bought online46The author mentions Harlows experiment to show that _Ababies need warm physical contact Bcaregivers should be healthy adultsCadults should develop social skills Dmonkeys have social relationships47In Barghs experiment, the students were asked to _Awrite down their guesses Bevaluate someones personalityCfill out a personal information form Dhold coffee and cold drink alternatively48We can infer from the passage that _Aabstract thinking does not e from physical experiencesBfeelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwideCphysical temperature affects how we see othersDcapable persons are often cold to others49What would be the best title for the passage?ADrinking for Better Social RelationshipsBPhysical Sensations and EmotionsCExperiments of Personality EvaluationDDeveloping Better Drinking HabitsCMost mornings, the line begins to form at dawn: scores of silent women with babies on their backs, buckets balanced on their heads, and in each hand a bright-blue plastic jugOn good days, they will wait less than an hour before a water tanker goes across the dirt path that serves as a road in Kesum Purbahari, a slum on the southern edge of New DelhiOn bad days, when there is no electricity for the pumps, the tankers dont e at all“That water kills people,” a young mother named Shoba said one recent Saturday morning, pointing to a row of pails filled with thick, caramel （焦糖）-colored liquid“Whoever drinks it will die” The water was from a pipe shared by thousands of people in the poor neighborhoodWomen often use it to wash clothes and bathe their children, but nobody is desperate enough to drink itThere is no standard for how much water a person needs each day, but experts usually put the minimum at fifty litersThe government of India promises （but rarely provides） fortyMost people drink two or three litersless than it takes to wash a toiletThe rest is typically used for cooking and bathingAmericans consume between four hundred and six hundred liters of water each day, more than any other people on earthMost Europeans use less than half thatThe women of Kesum Purbahari each hoped to drag away a hundred liters that daytwo or three buckets worthShoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesnt go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noonShe often makes up the difference with bottled water, which costs more than water delivered any other waySometimes she just buys milk; its cheaperLike the poorest people everywhere, the people of New Delhis slums spend a far greater percentage of their ines on water than anyone lucky enough to live in a house connected to a system of pipes50The underlined word “slum” most likely means _Aa village Ba small townCthe part of a town that lacks water badlyDan area of a town with badly-built, over-crowded buildings51Sometimes the water tanker doesnt e because _Athere is no electricity Bthe weather is badCthere is no water Dpeople dont want the dirty water52A person needs at least _ liters of water a dayA forty Bfifty Ca hundred Dfour hundred53The passage mainly tells us _Ahow India government manages to solve the problem of waterBhow women in Kesum Purbahari gets their waterChow much water a day a person needsDthat India lacks water badlyDIn ancient Egypt the pharaoh （法老） treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace if he brought good newsHowever if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut offShades of that spirit spread over todays conversationsOnce, a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outingAs we walked light-heartedly out of the door picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, Oh boy, bad day for a picnicThe weatherman says its going to rain I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwichesNot for his stupid weather report, but for his smileSeveral months ago I was racing to catch a busAs I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound 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 angryIts the unsympathetic attitude with which its deliveredEveryone must give bad news from time to time and winning professionals do it with the proper attitudeA doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring wayA boss informing an employee he didnt get the job takes on a sympathetic toneBig winners know when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiverUnfortunately, many people are not aware of thisWhen youre 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 merrily 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 facesHad my neighbor told me of the uping rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warningHad the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said “Oh thats all rightIll catch the next one” When they bear bad news, big winners deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded （被轰炸的） person is sure to have54In Paragraph 1 the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to _Amake a parison Bdescribe a sceneCintroduce a topic Doffer an argument55From Dreams of head-cutting!（Paragraph 3） we learn that the writer _Awas mad at the sales agentBwas reminded of the cruel pharaoh Cwished that the sales agent would have had dreamsDdreamed of cutting the sales agents head that night56What is the main idea of the text? ALearning ancient traditions can be usefulBReceiving bad news requires great courageCHelping others sincerely is the key to business successDDelivering bad news properly is important in municationEHow to Be a WinnerSir Steven RedgraveWinner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes（糖尿病）Believing my career was over, I felt extremely lowThen one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and petingThat was it the encouragement I neededI could still be a winner if I believed in myselfI am not saying that it isnt difficult sometimesBut I wanted to prove to myself that I wasnt finished yetNothing is to stand in my way”Karen PickeringSwimming World Champion“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a weekI manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diaryThis is the key to success you cant follow a career in any field without being well-organizedList what you believe you can achieveTrust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and youll be a step closer to achieving them”Kirsten BestPoet & Writer“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I cant achieve somethingThen, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbiesThe key is to concentrateWhen I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as calm, peace or focus, either out loud or silently in my mindIt makes me feel more in control and increases my confidenceThis is a habit that can bee second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool”57What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about?ADifficulties influenced his careerBSpecialists offered him medical adviceCTraining helped him defeat his diseaseDHe overcame the shadow of illness to win58What does Karen Pickering put on top of her diary?AHer sports career BHer achievementsCHer daily happenings DHer training schedule59What does the underlined word “distractions” probably refer to？
