    It's not about how much money you make, and it's not about who your daddy is. We're talking about being attractive in general, whether it's on a job interview or just gaining the respect of your colleagues . . .
    Ask lots of questions
    If you come across as a know-it-all (even if you really do know it all!), it really pushes people away. Rather, asking lots and lots of questions makes people feel like you care, you can be trusted.
    Great body language
    Your body language says a lot about you - it says whether you have confidence, or simply if you really care. Talking physically, it is one of the most important physical characteristics you need!
    Stay busy
    Always have something to do. Have you ever seen someone just sitting around, doing nothing? How unattractive. Always be busy with something, even if for some reason you have to make something up.
    Show your pearly whites (or just smile)
    Smile more, no matter how ugly your teeth are. I'm not kidding about this one. It's not all about the teeth. If you are smiling genuinely, you can draw everyone for 100 meters around to you.
    Wear what fits
    Wear clothing that fits you. For women, wearing tight pants or shirts is not attractive. Things that just fit you and your shape are the best but not tight. Wear things that fit you nicely, please . . . And for goodness sake, both sexes, stay away from logos and printed shirts! Most people you may ask do not find this attractive. Stop being some company's billboard(广告牌).
    Be interested in other man
    Be interested in the other person. Don't talk about. If you are truly interested in the person, it will come across. And if you want to talk about yourself, you'll find that putting the other person first actually opens him up to return the favor and ask you questions. See how fun this is?
    小题1:It is your ________ that makes you attractive.
    A．your family background
    B．fashionable tight clothes
    C．your appearance and your wealth
    D．proper body language and behavior
    小题2:According to the author, if you ________, you can be trusted.
    A．always smile and show your pearly teeth
    B．keep asking lots of questions
    C．are interested in other people’s personal affairs
    D．always wear clothes that fit you
    小题3:The purpose of staying busy is to ________.
    A．gain praises from your boss and colleagues
    B．look attractive among people
    C．show that you are interested in your job
    D．get promoted in your company
    小题4:If you are going to a job interview, which of the following is a proper behavior?
    A．Wearing a shirt with printed logos
    B．Keeping talking about your own experiences and talents
    C．Staying still, not making any body language
    D．Smiling truly toward the people you will meet

    For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.
    As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
    Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.
    Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”                                                                                                                       (335 words)
    小题1:Which of the following is true of amusics?
    A．Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.
    B．They love places where they are likely to hear music.
    C．They can easily tell two different songs apart.
    D．Their situation is well understood by musicians.
    小题2:According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who __________.
    A．dislikes listening to speeches
    B．can hear anything nonmusical
    C．has a hearing problem
    D．lacks a complex hearing system
    小题3:In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.
    A．her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier
    B．she were seventeen years old rather than seventy
    C．her problem could be easily explained
    D．she were able to meet other amusics
    小题4:What is the passage mainly concerned with?
    A．Amusics’ strange behaviours.
    B．Some people’s inability to enjoy music.
    C．Musical talent and brain structure.
    D．Identification and treatment of amusics.

    根据短文内容，从下面A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。
    A. The spreading of tea
    B. The history of tea growing
    C. Changes of tastes for drinks
    D. Reducing cancer risks
    E. The plant Camellia sinensis
    F. A woman’s opinion of tea
    小题1:________________
    Americans are far more knowledgeable about drinks than they were 20 years ago. Witness the Starbucks revolution and you’ll know where the trend goes. Now, encouraged by recent studies suggesting that it can cut the risk of cancer and heart disease and slow the aging process, tea is enjoying a similar change. Enough fashionable tea houses are springing up to make even longtime coffee drinkers consider switching drinks.
    小题2:________________
    Tea is available in more places than ever. The Tea Association of the United States reports that from 1990 to 1999, annual sales of the drink grew to $4.6 billion from $1.8 billion. “Green tea is seen by consumers as a ‘functional food’” — delivering health benefits beyond food itself, says Vierhile.
    小题3:_______________
    Recently published studies point out that only teas that come from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis have been shown to contain health benefits. Other herbal teas may taste good, yet they do little more than warm up the drinker. But for Camellia sinensis, the evidence is powerful. In a 1998 study, Harvard University researchers found that drinking one cup of black tea a day lowered the risk of heart attack by as much as 44 percent compared with non-tea drinkers, and other studies have suggested that the antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in these so-called real teas can also prevent cancer.
    小题4:________________
    One such antioxidant in green tea is ECGC, a compound 20 times as powerful as vitamin E and 200 times as powerful as vitamin C. “When people ask me for something good and cheap they can do to reduce their cancer risk, I tell them to drink real tea,” says Mitchell Gaynor, director of medical oncology at New York City’s Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center.
    小题5:________________
    Among those inspired to become a green-tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga, a New York writer who took it up after seeking advice from a nutritionist six years ago. “I’ve never been a coffee drinker,” says Ghilaga, 33. “She told me to start drinking green tea for the antioxidant qualities.” Now Ghilaga and her husband habitually make tea — they order theirs from InPursuitofTea.com, an Internet tea company. And although tea contains about half the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee, “you still get such a kick from it,” says Ghilaga.

    CORVALIJS. Ore.-- Engineers at Oregon Suite University have made a breakthrough in the performance of microbial (微生物的)fuel cells that can produce electricity directly from wastewater，opening the door to a future in which waste treatment plants not only will power themselves, but will sell extra electricity.
    The new technology ,developed at OSU, can now produce 10 to 50 more times the electricity, per volume, than most oilier approaches using microbial fuel cells,and 100 times more electricity than some.
    Researchers say this could eventually change the way that wastewater is treated all over the world, replacing the widely used “activated sludge (泥浆) ” process that has been in use for almost a century. The new approach would produce significant amounts of electricity while effectively cleaning the wastewater,
    “If this technology works on a commercial scale the way we believe it will ,the treatment of wastewater could be a huge energy producer, not a huge energy cost.” said Hong Liu ，an associate professor in the OSU Department of Biological and Ecological Engineering. “This could have an impact around the world, save a great deal of money, provide better water treatment and promote energy sustainability.”
    The biodegradable (能降解的）characteristics of wastewater, if developed to their full potential, could theoretically provide many times the energy that is now being used to process them, with no additional greenhouse emissions.
    OSU researchers reported several years ago on the promise of this technology, but at that time the systems in use produced far less electrical power. With new concepts, the technology can now produce more than two kilowatts per cubic meter of liquid reactor volume.
    The new system also works better than an alternative approach to creating electricity from wastewater, based on anacrobic (臭氧的）digestion that produces methane (甲烷）.It treats the wastewater more effectively, and doesn’t have any of the environmental drawbacks of that technology, such as production of possible release of methane, a significant greenhouse gas.
    小题1:Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
    A．The treatment of wastewater is a huge energy cost.
    B．Wastewater is being treated differently over the world.
    C．Waste treatment plants have found a new way to power themselves.
    D．Microbial fuel cells will produce more electricity from wastewater.
    小题2:What can we learn about the new technology from the passage?
    A．It can produce 100 times more electricity than any approach used today.
    B．Through it more electricity can be created and water can be cleaned better.
    C．It has already changed the way that wastewater is treated all over the world
    D．It has opened the door to put microbial fuel cells to productive use.
    小题3:What attitude does Professor Liu hold towards the new technology?
    A. Supportive.      B. Critical.       C Unconcerned.    D. Curious.
    小题4:According to the last paragraph, why does the new system work better than the alternative approach?
    A．Because it is co-friendly and treats wastewater more effectively.
    B．Because it can make full use of anaerobic digestion producing methane.
    C．Because it may produce less methane than the alternative approach.
    D．Because it can produce 10 times the energy than the alternative approach.

    It’s a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now conies the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behavior.
    Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If Kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.
    What is your cat’s IQ?
    In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time,  and can even become more or less social depending on the behavior of their owners.
    “Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the CATalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions. as evidenced by knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that’s been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas fife. ”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match. ”So. if you felt guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you call feel even worse：You fife making your cat fat!
    There’s no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to Yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study. it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.
    There’s a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and half-closed eyes. the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private 1esson in inner meditation. ”Brant said. Sure. But cats don’t have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their in-laws. They’re probably pretty good at remaining calm.
    So, according to science。even though we assumed that cats were not close to us all these years, it turns out they fife in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
    小题1:According to the passage. which of the following is NOT true?
    A．Cats can copy humans’ schedule.B．Humans can learn from cats in some way.
    C．Cats are smart and have fl long memory D．Green tea and Yoga can benefit cats.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
    A．Humans’ keeping searching the fridge.
    B．Cats’ going to their owners for food.
    C．Cats’ copying humans’ habit of looking for food.
    D．Humans’ leaving cats home while working.
    小题3:What can we learn from our cats?
    A．To remain calm.B．To be able to copy. C．To stay proud.D．To look up to friends.
    小题4:The best title for the passage could be ________.
    A．Your Cat Can Bring You PleasureB．You Are Copying Your Cat
    C．You Can Make Your Cat SocialD．Your Cat Is Copying Your Habit

    If you find that your teacher is unfair to you, think about what is happening. Try to find out whether your teacher really dislikes you, or whether something else is going on. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
    小题1:  Ask your classmates if they are having trouble with the teacher, too. If they say yes, perhaps your teacher is to blame.
    Are you working up to your ability? Maybe you got a C in your last test, and your teacher told you that you could do better. And the kid sitting beside you got a C, too.小题2:  Isn’t this unfair? Well, it could be that your teacher knows that you could do better if you put more effort into it.  小题3:
    小题4: There’s nothing wrong with being sensitive (敏感的) ，but if you react to criticism quite differently from others, this could be a reason why you think your teacher doesn’t like you.
    Does your teacher seem to act unfairly all the time, or just once in a while? Think about the harsh (苛刻的) things your teacher has done to you. Are these things happening every day, or just once or twice a month? If your teacher really hates you, you would probably be picked on all the time.小题5: 
    A．Are you the only person being treated badly, or is your teacher rough on the whole class?
    B．Are you getting along well with your classmates?
    C． Are you more sensitive than other students?
    D． Are you interested in your lessons?
    E . If your teacher has acted unfairly only a few times, then there’s probably something else going on.
    F．Teachers often grade students by different standards.
    G．But the teacher didn’t say anything to him！

    Even if we have an extremely healthy diet and lifestyle, the human body is programmed to wear out at a maximum of about 120 years, and usually less. We all have a biological clock inside us which determines the moment when our organs cease to function properly. This is because our cells have stopped renewing themselves and our body can no longer repair itself. This is also the moment when we are more likely to begin to suffer from the diseases of old age such as arthritis and Alzheimer’s. However, rapid advances in DNA research are beginning to throw light on the secrets of the ageing process. By the end of this century we could literally have the power of life over death.
    Although it has long been accepted that humans have a fixed lifespan, it is also a fact that certain other organisms, such as reptiles and amphibians, appear to live indefinitely. The only reason we do not see 500-year-old alligators is because in the wild their lives are always in danger, from man, from pollution and from other animals. When they are kept in zoos they do not seem to age at all after they are fully grown. The same is true of some species of fish, which grow indefinitely and show no signs of ageing. The existence of animals with no fixed lifespan seems to indicate that an age gene really does exist. It is this gene which scientists are searching for, which may delay or repair damage to the body caused by ageing.
    Another new area of research involves the oxidation（氧化） theory, which says that ageing is caused by the same process that makes iron rust. In controlled experiments, the lifespans of certain animals were shown to be lengthened with anti-oxidants; for example, the lifespan of mice can be increased by 30%. Antioxidants are already being used in face creams and other cosmetics, and they are likely to play an important part in keeping people physically young.
    Perhaps the most immediate advance we are likely to see in the battle to halt（停止）the ageing process will be organ replacement. By the year 2020 it is likely that we will be replacing injured bones or even organs like livers and kidneys with ones “grown” in laboratories. By 2050 perhaps every organ in the body, except the brain, will have become commercially available. Recent experiments also show that it may one day be possible to “grow” new organs inside our body to replace worn-out ones, something which lizards and alligators already do.
    Suddenly immortality（不死，不朽） seems within reach. We can begin to imagine a future where we are born, we grow to maturity, but we never grow old and die. But do we really want to live forever?
    小题1: When all humans reach a certain age,         .
    A．they suffer the effects of their diet and lifestyle
    B．the organs stop to perform appropriately
    C．their cells continue to renew themselves
    D．they develop arthritis and Alzheimer’s
    小题2: The purpose of showing the case of alligators is to prove         .
    A．alligators are in danger in the wild because of the threat from man, pollution and other animals
    B．it is widely accepted that humans have a fixed lifespan
    C．there exists an age gene which may control ageing
    D．the age gene damages the body
    小题3:The underlined phrase “live indefinitely” in Paragraph 2 probably mean         .
    A．live for a period of time without a fixed end
    B．live without a clear aim
    C．live in an uncertain way
    D．live without being fully grown
    小题4:It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that         .
    A．by 2050 we might have most of our worn-out organs replaced with new ones commercially
    B．never can the ageing process be avoided
    C．livers and kidneys are sure to be grown in laboratories by the year 2020
    D．lizards and alligators grow new organs inside their body to replace worn-out ones
    小题5: What is the main topic of this passage?
    A．DNA researches show how our cells renew themselves.
    B．Anti-oxidants are likely to play an important part in keeping people young.
    C．How our biological clock works?
    D．Eternal（永恒的） youth: new developments in anti-ageing research.
    小题6:By saying “But do we really want to live forever”, the author may probably mean         .
    A．a future where we are born, we grow to maturity, but we never grow old and die is on its way
    B．he is uncertain whether we can live forever
    C．it remains to be seen whether immortality is a blessing or a curse
    D．immortality is no longer a dream

    There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at the announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
    Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
    Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
    Another useful way to find a job is through a college or a university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Centre to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute(降落伞)？”by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career since it was published in nineteen seventy.
    Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.
