Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly. When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, its beautiful!” At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if youre ing off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geris handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important municative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each others cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadnt even given them a gift!26. In the four Japanese gentlemens eyes, Geri took their cards _.A. excitedlyB. embarrassinglyC. politelyD. disrespectfully27. Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?A. Because they couldnt bear Geris behavior any longer.B. Because they had finished the task.C. Because Geri had something more important to do.D. Because Geri felt embarrassed.28.

What lesson can we draw from this story?A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Think twice before you take any action.C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. Dont claim to know what you dont know.BYou cant always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyacv doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. Thats why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella. The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said. The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyones using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed. According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. 31. For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella? A. To predict a heavy rain B. To check the weather forecast C. To protect people from the rain D. To remind people to take an umbrella 32. What do we know from Belyacvs words in Paragraph2?A. His creation was inspired by an experience B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint PetersburgC. Street lamps are protected by canopies D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain33. Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?A. motorcanopysensors B. sensorsmotorcanopy C. motorsensorscanopyD. canopymotorsensors34. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A. Its moving speed B. Its appearance C. Its installation D. Its safety 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a pany to promote his productB. The lampbrella could be put into immediate production C. The designer is confident that his creation is practicalD. The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow C. Last nights meteor(流星) shower left many people in the munity dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valleys mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the citys lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead. “My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.” Astronomers-scientists who study stars and planets-have been plaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it. There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.” Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase persons chances of getting cancer. Emerald Valley is only one munity that is being aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.36. It happened last night that .A. the citys lights affected the meteor watching B. the meteors flew past before being noticed C. the meteor watching ended up a social outing D. the city light show attracted many people37. What do the astronomers plain about?A .Meteor showers occur less often than before. B. Their observation equipment is in poor repair. C. Light pollution has remained unsolved for years. D. Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.38. What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4? A. Birds may take other migration paths. B. Animal living habits may change suddenly. C. Varieties of animals will bee sharply reduced. D. Animals survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.39. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to_.A. lessen the chance of getting cancer B. create an ideal observation condition C. ensure citizens a good sleep at night D. enable all creatures to live in harmony40. What message does the author most want to give us?A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves B. Great efforts should be made to save energy C. Human activities should be environmentally friendly D. New equipment should be introduced for space studyDUntil the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health. Men used tobacco mainly in the form of cigars. They chewed tobacco, piped tobacco, and snuffed. Most women did not use tobacco at all.The cigarette industry began in 1870s with the development of the cigarette manufacturing machine. This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly, and it reduced the price.Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to note, however, that millions of people have quit smoking. Seventy-five percent of the male population and forty-six percent of the female population have smoked cigarettes for some time during their lives, but twenty-six percent of these men and eleven percent of the women have stopped smoking. The number of persons who have given up smoking is increasing.Men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is the age group 24-44.Ine, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a persons smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high ines are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower ines. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher ine smokes, hes likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family ines and higher education than among the lower ine and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenager smokers from upper-ine, well-educated families, and also fewer from families living in farm areas. High school students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who dont plan to continue their education after high school. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.41. The underlined word “picture” in the last paragraph probably means .
