    When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky on their Sunday night radio show Loveline. I listened so often that I began to use one of their well-known phrases—“good times”—in my daily conversations. Scientists have a name for this phenomenon: behavioral mimicry.
    You’ve probably experienced this before: after spending enough time with another person, you might start to pick up on his or her behavior or speech habits. You might even start to develop your friend’s habits without realizing it. There is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon, and it regularly happens for everything from body postures to accents to drink patterns. For example, one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drink directly after their same-sex drinking partners, than for the two individuals to drink at their own paces.
    And the effect isn’t limited to real-life face-to-face activities. Another study found that the same you-drink-then-I-drink pattern held even when watching a movie! In other words, people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink. At least I don’t feel so strange anymore, having picked up on Adam Carolla’s “good times”.
    New research published today in the journal PLOS ONE indicates that the same sort of behavioral mimicry is responsible for social eating, at least among university-age women of normal weight. That’s right: the young women were more likely to adjust their eating according to the eating pace of their same-sex dining companion.
    As with most experiments, these results raise a whole new set of questions. Still, the finding that behavioral mimicry may at least partly account for eating behavior is important, and has real effects on health. The researchers note that “as long as people don’t fully recognize such important influences on intake, it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy diet, especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others”.
    小题1:The author takes his own example of using “good times” to _________.
    A．express his love for radio shows
    B．prove the popularity of the show
    C．show the influence of the hosts’ words
    D．introduce the topic of the passage
    小题2:The underlined word “mimicry” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.
    A．copying
    B．adjusting
    C．recognition
    D．observation
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT an example of behavioral mimicry?
    A．A boy eats his popcorn after watching the actor eat.
    B．A boy buys a Nike shirt when he finds his desk-mate has one.
    C．A girl unconsciously sits straight just as others do.
    D．A girl takes on the Yorkshire accent after a month’s stay.
    小题4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _________.
    A．behavioral mimicry is beneficial to our health
    B．behavioral mimicry decides our eating behavior
    C．there are doubts on the research results
    D．there are people always exposed to bad eating habits
    小题5:What is probably the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
    A．To draw readers’ attention to popular radio shows.
    B．To introduce behavioral mimicry and its influence.
    C．To appeal to readers not to fall into others’ habits.
    D．To advocate healthy food choices among readers.

    小题1:D
    小题2:A
    小题3:B
    小题4:C
    小题5:B
    本文讲述了行为模仿是什么以及它的影响。
    小题1:D作者以题图。作者通过经常收听广播后，开始使用里面的语言，然后引起话题：行为模仿。
    小题2:A 词义猜测提。通过第一段可知，作者开始模仿广播里面的语言，故此单词为copying的含义。
    小题3:B 推理判断题。根据In other words, people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink.可知A属于行为模仿。C想通过常识判断属于行为模仿；而作者本身就是对语言的模仿，所以D项也正确。B项属于有意识的跟风，并非行为模仿。
    小题4:C推理题。根据最后一段第一二句话可知，研究结果引起了一套新的问题。故对此研究结果仍有疑虑。
    小题5:B作者意图题。作者写本文的目的就是为了介绍行为模仿这个概念以及告诉我们行为模仿的影响。

    I got my first driver's license(执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte，North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore，Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday，Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’ s license，ready to renew，the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21.“Mr.Henry Smith，your husband，will have to sign for you，”he said.
    I argued，pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine，“I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive？”He answered coldly，“It’s the law，madam.”
    Henry encouraged me to calm down，just go ahead and get the license and be done with it. “No，” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.
    I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail—using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland，and I had to take the Maryland driver’ s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years—sign the name Susan Brown，have my new picture taken，and walk out with a license to drive.
    小题1:Susan got her first driver’ s license________.
    A．before she got married to Henry
    B．when she was twenty years old
    C．after she finished high school
    D．when she just moved to Maryland
    小题2:Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because________.
    A．she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law
    B．she lacked driving experience in Maryland
    C．she was to give birth to a baby soon
    D．she insisted on signing for herself
    小题3:We can infer from the text that in the U.S.________.
    A．American males should serve in the army
    B．different states may have different laws
    C．people have to renew their licenses in their home states
    D．women should adopt their husbands’ family names after marriage

    Last Friday my brother and I were driving home together after doing some shopping and gave our attention to an interesting conversation. Because of this distraction (分心)my brother took a wrong turn.
    Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
    We eventually reached an exit and, as we took it, my brother noticed a young fellow pulled over to the side of the road. He came out of his car and tried to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we would go next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a tool to get it off.
    My brother gave him a wrench, and then began to help him change the flat. The young man said that this had been a bad week for him: earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along.
    After we finished the job he thanked us again and pulled out $20 from his pocket and tried to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge,we took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.” 
    What I loved most was that my brother was able to see a chance to help. His reaction in the situation is a lesson for everyone and we felt so good the rest of the day.
    小题1:When did the author and his brother notice the young man who had a flat tire?
    A．Before they arrived at a bridge.
    B．When they were passing through an exit.
    C．When the young man stopped them for help.
    D．After they came back to the right road.
    小题2:We can learn from the text that the writer’s brother ________.
    A．didn’t know the roads well
    B．was a warm-hearted young man
    C．made the turn to help the young man
    D．regretted making a wrong turn all the way home
    小题3:What did the young man mean by calling the writer and his brother “a breath of fresh air” ?
    A．He had been in the hot sun waiting for help for so long.
    B．His car’s air conditioner was broken.
    C．They calmed him down by offering him a cold drink.
    D．They changed his bad luck and the bad mood he was in.
    小题4:Which of the following sentences best describes the writer’s experience?
    A．It’s no use crying over spilt milk.
    B．God helps those who help themselves.
    C．Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.
    D．If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.

    When he was a boy, Tim was much influenced（影响） by the books about the sea, but in fact by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a dentist and as a result, Tim had the opportunity of meeting many doctors either at home or elsewhere. When he was fourteen he was already hanging around the clinic (诊所) of a local doctor where he was supposed to help to wrap up medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the conversations taking place between the doctor and his patients in the next room.
    During the war Tim served in the Navy (海军) as a surgeon (外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with very real suffering and on the whole making a success of it.” In California he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skills to himself and his ability to take decisions. Thus, while he was able to tell them what to do, he could feel he was saving them. After the war, he got married and chose to be a doctor in the countryside, working under an old doctor who was popular in the area, but who hated the sight of blood and believed that the secret of medicine was faith. This gave the young man many opportunities to go on working as a life-saver.

    Joey is loyal, encouraging and self-sacrificing, always putting others’ interests ahead of his own. He is a hard worker, who also loves to run and play. In short, he’s an ideal friend and a heroic character.
    Here is the thing: Joey is a horse, who appears as the main character in Steven Spielberg’s new film War Horse.
    It is based on Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel, which also caused the same-titled Tony Awards winning play.
    The film follows the saga of Joey, a racehorse that’s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert (Jeremy Irvine )after Albert’s drunk father Ted(Peter Mullan ) overpays for the animal at auction(拍卖会).
    Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart. Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe.
    Splendidly staged, the battle plots in the film are visually astounding and impressive.
    And with Spielberg’s unique, top-notch direction and storytelling skills, War Horse cannot escape its episodic nature, calling to mind another Spielberg film about the horrors of war and its effects upon soldiers and civilians—Saving Private Ryan.
    While that film shocked with horrific scenes of bleeding, it relied on a company of easily-described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes.
    Like Saving Private Ryan, War Horse clings to a series of characters, not only Albert, but also British officers, French civilians and German soldiers, who display courage in the face of danger. Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane.
    Although none of this covers the fact that we’ve seen this stuff elsewhere before, the lovely sentiment will steal your heart.
    And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece – there will be tears.
    Therefore, calling this beautiful, dramatically incomplete film “ Saving Private Joey”, is entirely justifiable.
    小题1:In common with “ Saving Private Ryan”, the film War Horse _________ .
    A．is full of terrifying scenes of bleeding and killing
    B．received the title of Tony Awards Winning Play
    C．covers a lot of characters
    D．tells the story happening in the Second World War
    小题2:Which statement is true according to the passage?
    A．War Horse is based on the same-titled novel by Steven Spielberg.
    B．Joey is a heroic character because he saved many people’s lives.
    C．Albert sold Joey into the war effort for Europe.
    D．Joey came to Albert’s care after Ted paid a lot of money for it.
    小题3:According to the passage, what does the underlined word astounding mean?
    A．astonishingB．confusingC．satisfyingD．disappointing
    小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Joey ─ a heroic race horseB．Albert and Joey
    C．Saving Private JoeyD．Spielberg’s Joey
