My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest(竞赛) at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I'd call my father right away and he'd rush out to tell all his friends.

You're out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists( 心理学家 ) have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors ( 因素 ) ranging from the waiter's choice of words to how they carry themselves while taking orders to the bill's total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.
“ Studies before have shown that mimicry ( 模仿 ) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” said Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous ( 大方的 ) toward the person who mimics them.”
So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half respond to diner's meal orders with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home pay. The results were clear ── it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat waiters earned almost double the amount of tips than the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson , psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper might be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, taxi drivers and hair stylists, they found tip percentages in three areas dropped as customers' bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau ( 稳定 ) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.
“That's also a point of tipping,” said Green. “ You have to give a little extra to the taxi driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren't there you'd never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
64. According to the passage, a passenger gives the taxi driver an extra tip for ___
driver's politeness B. driver's mimicry C. driver's attitudes D. being there
According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages ?
A B C D
66. According to the passage, we know the writer seems to ______________.
oppose Mr. Green's idea about tipping
think part of Mr. Green's explanation is reasonable
give his generous tip to the waiters very often
support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping

Doodles are signs which you draw unconsciously when you are holding a pen in your hand and just happen to start writing aimlessly. However, there is more to these” diagrams( 图形) of the unconscious” than what you see. Free from the restriction(limitation) of the conscious mind, they can be useful in finding your character and personality, and many of your secret hopes, ambitions, fears, and dreams.
Faces are a sign of sociability or lack of it. If you doodle happy, smiling faces, you have a friendly, out -going disposition(character) which people respond to, and you enjoy an active social life. If your faces are bad, this may mean hating others. Faces looking to the right are a sign of out-going personality and confident expectation about the future, to the left, a sign of shyness and self-control.
Bare or narrow trees show a lack of warmth. You've probably been disappointed in life or could even be suffering from a minor illness that needs attention.
If you build a house in layers( 层) , each layer separate, you could be too proud, too eager to make your loved ones follow your order and jump to attention. A little untidiness in a house makes the people feel comfortable, safe and happy.
If your doodle looks like a web, you are making a cry for help in solving a problem, you feel trapped, and are seeking a way out; perhaps you even want to travel, try out new ideas and realize your ambitions. But you lack confidence to step out into the world on your own because of the web you've created around you.
67.One can probably have the wish to be_____if he doodles a building with unconnected storeys.
A.a leader B.a self-controlled person C.a shy person D.an attentive person
68.If you doodle a face, you may do any of the following EXCEPT_______.
A.lead an active life B.lead an inactive life
C.want to get on well with others D.be in charge of others
69.What does the underlined word “doodle” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.to draw without realizing what one is drawing
B.to draw carefully and attentively what one likes drawing
C.to write different things without certain limits
D.to write at home, mainly on the wall
70.What is the possible best title of the passage?
A.Don't doodle,or you'll not be able to keep secret.
B.Recognize yourself with the help of doodles.
C.Doodling, an unpopular habit. D.Doodling may cause untidiness.

On May 3, 2002, archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC. Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.
His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.
36. Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man'?
A. Tools, a bone pin, a bow and a cushion stone
B. A copper knife and two gold earrings.
C. Two pots, arrows and materials to make arrows.
D. some chicken and grains.
37. The man buried in the grave might be ______ at that time.
A. A poor man B. a kind-hearted man
C. a rich man D. an ordinary man
38. Why is the man buried in the grave called the "king of Stonehenge" ?
A. He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.
B. He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.
C. He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
D. All of the above.
39. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. How Stonehenge was built.
B. Building Stonehenge was hard.
C. Stonehenge was made of big stones.
D. It is a mystery how Stonehenge was built.
40. We can infer that _______ .

X: They get damaged or lost. It's a matter of education. People fail to take the right steps when something is found. Fortunately, the government has helped spreading the basic knowledge among the population, telling what is to be done when an archaeological find is made.
J: What does that knowledge consist of ?
X: Well, when something is found, construction work must be stopped and the police should be told about the find. That is to make sure that no further damage will be done.
J: Does it still happen that people do not report things they find?
X: Yes, indeed. They doubt whether it is necessary to do so. It sometimes happens that a find is not very valuable. They are afraid that they would make scientists come for nothing.
J: Are there other reasons why people don't report their finds?
X: Oh, yes. People are afraid that archaeologists may take a real interest in the site and spend many weeks or months digging around at it. That would result in farmers missing the right opportunity to plant crops or construction work to be stopped for a long time. They don't realize that they should not weigh their own business interests against our national history.
J: If it is so important to dig things up and collect them, then why are archaeologists worried that other people dig up artifacts and give them to museums or add them to their own private archaeological collections?
X: Archaeology is a professional discipline. Years of training and experience are needed. It is not just about finding things and digging them up. The field work must be done very carefully. Of every find there needs to be a written record, to which a photograph must be added. The records must also state exactly what was found, where it was found and when. The outdoor work is followed by work in the lab, cleaning, restoring and identifying each artifact. Finally, when all is done, an analysis must be written and published in a magazine or a book.
J: Are there any other dangers, natural disasters perhaps?
X: Unfortunately there are treasure hunters: people search for valuable objects, especially jewellery and gold. They are the worst. History does not need to fear nature very much. What has been buried has often been buried well. It is often human digging that causes the loss of valuable materials. It may seem a contradiction, but leaving things as they are would often be the best way of keeping things for the generations to come.

篇章结构
A mental health researcher who has studied depressed mothers in Pakistan plans an effort next year to help them. Doctor Atif Rahman is in the Department of Child Psychiatry (精神病治疗法) at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital in England.
Doctor Rahman led a team that linked depression (沮丧；消沉) in women with lower weight in their babies during the first year of life. 46
The study identified one hundred and sixty of the women, or one in four, as depressed. They had lost interest and pleasure in normal life. They always felt sad or tired. They had problems eating or sleeping. They felt guilty and thought about killing themselves.
47 Re-examinations took place at two, six and twelve months of age. The health workers also re-examined the mental health of the mothers.
Babies whose mothers remained depressed grew less than the babies of the other women. The babies of the depressed mothers were also more likely to get sick with diarrhea (腹泻). The findings appeared in September in Archives of General Psychiatry(精神病学档案). 48 Other studies in South Asia have found that depression affects almost twice as many women in developing countries. Conditions in poor countries can make it more difficult to care for a baby. Doctor Rahman says depression can make it even more difficult for a mother to do things such as boil water to kill harmful organisms (微生物).
49 These women visit new mothers for up to a year. The workers offer advice about things like health and cleanliness.
50 The program will be tested for three years to see how well it succeeds.
A. Now Doctor Rahman wants to add special support for depressed mothers. The idea is that the health worker will listen to the mother's problems and suggest some easy things at first that she can do for her baby.
B. Earlier studies showed that ten to fifteen percent of pregnant women and new mothers in Western nations suffer from depression.
C. For ten years, Pakistan has employed what are called "lady health .workers".
D. The team studied six hundred and thirty-two women from small villages in Rawalpindi. The women were in good physical health and in the last three months of pregnancy.
E. The researchers compared these women with one hundred and sixty others who were not depressed. Health workers then weighed and measured the babies of both groups at birth.
F. The study showed that depression in women had nothing with lower weight in their babies.

Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport . The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other's minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing, Birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature's talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it's an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don't have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skills ? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms fun_ction, but this doesn't tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.
51. According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is .
A. our ability to use language B. the miracle of technology
C. the amazing power of nature D. our ability to make noises with mouth
52. What feature of “body language” mentioned in the passage is common to both human an animals?
A. Lifting heads when sad. B. Keeping long faces when angry.
C. Bristling hair when ready to attack. D. Bowing heads when willing to obey.
53. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 ?
A. Body language is unique to humans.
B. Animals express emotions just as humans do.
C. Humans have other powers of communication.
D. Humans are no different from animals to some degree.
54. This passage is mainly about .
A. the development of body language. B. the special role humans play in nature
C. the power to convey information to others
D. the difference between humans and animals in language use
