It was a long way from my friends house when about twenty wolves began to follow my sleigh.” “It was very dark in the forest. There was thick snow on the ground. First I heard the wolves. The noise was terrible! Then I saw long, grey forms among the trees, and soon the wolves were near me. They were running very fast, and they didnt seem to get tired like the horses.”“What did you do?” one of Larrys friends asked.“When the wolves got very near,” Larry answered, “I put up my gun and shot the first wolf dead. Then all the other wolves stopped and ate it, so my sleigh got away from them for a few minutes. Then they finished their meal, and I heard them ing again. The moon was shining brightly on the snow now, and after a few minutes I saw them running among the trees once more. They came nearer again, and then I shot another one of them, and the others stopped once more to eat it.

To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping cart(购物手推车). One of the first things customers forget is how to count. There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items.Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place. Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. I hope you dont mind waiting while I go to get it.” Five minutes later, hes back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels. What is stranger is that customers also seem to forget that they have pay for their groceries. Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries, a customer will wait until I announce the total. Then, in surprise, she says, “Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because shes forgotten hers. But I have to tolerate customers because they pay my salary, and thats something I cant afford to forget.8. What does the author say about his customers?A. They cannot count numbers.B. They sometimes jump the queue.C. They dont know how to express themselves.D. They behave as if their memories have totally failed.9. According to the text, who are supposed to be in the express line?A. Customers with nothing bought.B. Customers with not more than 15 items.C. Customers with items between 15 and 25.D. Customers with 25 or even a cart load of items.10. When customers arrive at the check-out counter, they _.A. find their pens lostB. go back and get more itemsC. cannot wait to pay for their groceriesD. prefer paying by check to paying by a credit card11. We can infer from the text that _.A. business in the grocery store runs wellB. the author finds his present job full of funC. the authors part-time job calls for patienceD. customers go to grocery stores without planningDWhat would it take to persuade you to exercise? A desire to lose weight or improve your figure? To keep you away from diseases? To live to a healthy age? Youd think any of those reasons would be enough to get Americans exercising. Yet a vast majority of Americans have thus far failed to swallow the “exercise pill”.Now a research by psychologists strongly suggests its time to think of current well-being (幸福) and happiness as motivators(动机；动力) for exercise instead of future health, weight loss and body image.Dr. Segar, one of the researchers, believes that immediate rewards are more motivating than distant ones. “People who say they exercise for the quality of life exercise more over the course of a year than those who say they value exercise for its health benefits,” he said.Other studies have shown that what keeps people moving depends on age, sex and life circumstances. For those of college age, physical attractiveness typically heads the lists of reasons to begin exercising, although what keeps them going seems to be the stress relief that a regular exercise program provides. The elderly, on the other hand, may get started because of health concerns. But often what keeps them exercising are the friendships and sense of munity that may otherwise be missing from their lives. Improving daily well-being is the most influential factor for women. Men indicate they are motivated by more distant health benefits, but this may be because men feel less fortable discussing their mental health needs.“Exercise should be encouraged but the emphasis on weight loss, disease prevention and healthy aging should be reduced,” Dr. Segar concluded. “Exercise can make people feel more energetic, less stressed and, yes, happier.”12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Be free from diseases.B. Take some diet pills.C. Improve their figure.D. Keep physically active.13. According to the passage, which of the following people may exercise more in a year?A. Jane, who decides to lose weight.B. David, who exercises for future health.C. Mary, who enjoys exercising with her son.D. Mark, who is suffering from a serious illness.14. According to Paragraph 4, which group of people tends to exercise for friendship?A. Men.B. WomenC. The elderly.D. College students.15. What is the author mainly arguing in the passage?A. Immediate rewards of exercise should be emphasized.B. Distant benefits should be the motivators for exercise.C. Feeling relaxed is more important than future health.D. Men and women take exercise for different purposes.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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。How do you stay true to yourself when youre surrounded by friends and / or family that have an opinion on everything you do?
