But now，things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy，hide behind his newspaper. Either way，the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You cant entirely blame men for this change in manners，though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men，not just equality in jobs or education，but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture in treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and shell probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts，that is perhaps not a bad idea.Its no wonder，then that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand，mens active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women，so that men can see women as equal human beings，rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.Maybe it is worth womens while to stand in the bus or train.56A woman may get angry if a man holds a door open for her because_.Ashe doesnt like him to wait on her hand and footBwomen enjoy opening the door themselvesCshe thinks it impolite for a man to do soDshe feels herself treated as a weaker 57The writer most probably is_.Aa man who doesnt agree with the changes todayBa woman who wants equalityCa man who thinks the changes are reasonable Da woman who doesnt agree with the changes todayBWe now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it is an ingredient in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh!” and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.The word “chocolate” es from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion. In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better. Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and of course an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce. 58. It was _that discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao. A. the workers in the chocolate factory B. the owner of a chocolate factory. C. the people in England D. the Spaniards 59. It can be inferred from the passage that_ _. A. chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or a candy bar B. chocolate is a product of the cacao treeC.

But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it es to impressing potential employers.The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock (模拟) interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five handshake raters also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact.Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with wimpy shakes were judged to be more timid and less impressive.The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.Professor Stewart said: Weve always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We dont consciously remember a persons handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal clues we get about the persons overall personality, and that impression is what we remember.Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, - as an over enthusiastic bone crusher handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness.The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons.61. The passage is probably intended for _. A. job-hunters B. an undergraduate C. employers D. handshake raters62. From the first paragraph we know that in an interview _. A. dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshake B. smile has no effect on impressing potential employers C. a firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly, and smile D. dressing smartly, smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave. B. The undergraduates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive. C. Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others. D. Its said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe.64. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a better impression than men. B. A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake. C. Dressing, smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview.D. Job interview success depends on interviewees body language.D According to Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, reading aloud was a mon practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and late as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Readers were “listeners attentive to a reading voice,”and “the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye.”The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century. Performing a little text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship,reading about was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduce literature to their children, and as such the practice bined leisure and purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was monplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters. Reading aloud in the nineteenth century wasas much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian readership primarily meant a middle-class readership. Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publisher. Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman and Hall, managed to distribute literary reading materials to people from different social classes by reducing the price of novels. This was also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time. Since the literacy level of this section of the population was still low before school attendance was made pulsory in 1870 by Education Act, a considerable of people from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickenss readers, whofrom such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Several biographers of Dickens also draw to the fact that it was typical for his texts to be read aloud in Victorian England, and thus illiteracy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home. A working-class home was In many ways not convenient reading: there were too many distractions，the lighting bad, the home was also often half a workhouse: As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were ideal places for the public to go white: away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurred between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickenss popularity among readers from the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening. Dickenss popularity among readers from the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening. Different readers of Dickens were not reading solitarily and “jealously，to use Walter Benjamins term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more munal experience, an experience that is generally lacking in todays world. Modem audiobooks can be considered a contemporary version of the practice. However, while the twentieth- and twentieth-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some characteristics of traditional reading aloudsuch as “listeners attentive to a reading voice” and the ear being fee focusit is a far more solitary activity,65. What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 1?A. The history of reading aloud.B. The significance of reading aloud.C. The development of reading practice.D. The roles of readers in reading practice.66. How did the practice of readily aloud influence Dickenss works?A. He started to write for a broader public crowd.B. He inclu
