BA supermarket checkout assistant was praised as striking a blow for (拥护)modern manners and a return to the age of politeness after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile phone. Sainburys was forced to apologize to the customer who plained when she was told her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up. Jo Clark, 26, said, “I dont know what she was playing at. I couldnt believe how rude she was. When did she have the right to give me a lecture on checkout etiquette (礼节)? I wont be shopping there again. But users of social media sites and Internet forums were very angry that the store gave in and the public appeared to be rallying (支持) behind the angry checkout worker. “Perhaps this is a turning point for mobile phone users everywhere. When chatting, keep your eyes on the folk around you. That includes people trying to serve you, other road and pavement users and especially people behind you on the stairs,” was a typical post. “Its about time checkout staff fought back at these people incessantly chattering on their phones. They can drive anyone crazy. Its rude and annoying. I often want to grab someones phone and throw it as far as I can, and I am not even a checkout girl, just a passer-by,” said another. WillNorman of The Young Foundation said that the majority of people still valued good manners very highly, despite growing pressures from work, mobility and technology. “Being civil to each other is part of the oil which makes munities work. In our research taxi drivers and shop workers described being invisible which is fine as a one-off but day after day it makes people feel undervalued and undermined. It is quite simply rude,” he said. “New rules and codes of conduct take a while to develop and we are still in a development phase for mobile phones,” he added. Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site Netmums. said, “While clearly this checkout operator doesnt have the authority to order customers to switch off the phone, you can see why she felt so frustrated. No matter how busy you are, life is nicer when you and those around you have good manners.”49. According to Jo Clark, the checkout assistant _. A. lacked the knowledge of checkout mannersB. played with a mobile phone while at workC. deserved praise for her modern mannersD. had no right to forbid her to use her mobile phone50. Paragraphs 3 and 4 imply that the public _. A. are used to chatting on their mobile phonesB. are driven crazy by constant mobile callsC. seemed to support the checkout assistantD. ignored the existence of mobile phone users51. WillNorman seems to support the idea that _. A. people are confused about what good manners areB. technology makes people feel undervaluedC. the use of mobile phones should be reducedD. good mobile phone manners are still developing52. The passage is mainly about _.A. how we talk on mobile phones while shoppingB. what good manners mobile phone users should haveC. when we can develop new rules for mobile phone usersD. whether it is rude to talk on your mobile phone while shoppingCNew research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16, 000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were nonsmokers. Scientists pared their genes and found that more than 7, 000 genes of smokers had changeda number that is onethird of known human genes. According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their daytoday lives while doing things like smoking. When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years. Its almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) it will always be there, even when youve walked away and when the cement bees dry. Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side：the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks. 53. The function of Paragraph 1 is to _. A. give an exampleB. arouse readers interestC. make an argumentD. give the main idea of the passage54. Most genetic changes happen because of _. A. peoples condition at birthB. environmental pollutionC. peoples bad living habits D. heart disease and cancer55. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _. A. the cement B. the footprintC. the harmful effects D. the genetic change56. Which of the following statements is true？A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years research. B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking. C. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself. D. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking. Dpetitive eating has bee big business. The International Federation of petitive Eating (IFOCE) holds events for petitive eating all around the world. One of the most popular contests (竞赛) is held every 4th of July on Coney Island in New York. Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest started in 1916 and the event has been dominated (占据优势) by Takeru Kobayashi. The Japanese petitor set his first record in xx, when he ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes and has won the contest six years in a row. The main types of food eaten in the contests are fast food. Hot dogs, chicken wings, pickles, corndogs and pizza are main foods of the contests. The contests usually last from around 8 to 12 minutes. Now most of the petitors are men, but there are also women who take part in petitive eating. Being large and overweight isnt necessarily an advantage in petitive eating. The biggest advantage a petitor can have is the ability to actually stretch (扩张) their stomach. Many petitors will drink plenty of water over a period of time in order to achieve this. Apart from having an unusually stretchable stomach, another important thing seems to be hand to mouth speed. The IFOCE has very strict safety guidelines laid out regarding petitive eating. petitions must take place in a controlled area and only petitors over the age of 18 are allowed to enter. They also advise against any type of home training. There has been much talk regarding the inclusion of petitive eating as an Olympic sport. Although the IFOCE has talked about that with the Olympic mittee, it seems that they will not agree to it at present. 57. Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest _.
