A
Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction(反应). She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO(总裁)with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It抯 hard to get a dozen CEO抯 to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, 揑 could buy this place and fire you, or 揑 know the owner and I could have you fired. Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品)than about their wealth and power.
The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.
“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person, Swanson says. 揑 will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.
What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman抯 dress?
A. He was fired. B. He was blamed.
C. The woman comforted him. D. The woman left the restaurant at once.
22. Odland learned one of his life lessons from ____.
A. his experience as a waiter B. the advice given by the CEOs
C. an article in Fortune D. an interesting best-selling book
23. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ____.
A. Fortune 500 companies B. the Management Rules
C. Swanson抯 book D. the Waiter Rule

People hoping to shrink their waistlines may want to adopt three simple eating habits to help them get there, new research suggests. The study tracked nearly 60,000 people and discovered that how fast they ate and the timing of their evening meal and snacks appeared to be significant factors in whether they ended up obese or managed to lose weight.
Specifically, eating more slowly, avoiding snacks after dinner, and not eating within two hours before going to bed were all linked to weight loss.
The researchers, who published their findings in the journal BMJ Open, said they set out to analyze 搕he effects of changes in lifestyle habits on changes in obesity.
They examined data on thousands of people with diabetes in Japan who submitted claims and had regular health checkups between 2008 and 2013, when measurements of their body mass index and waist circumference were taken. During the checkups, the patients also reported their lifestyle habits, including their eating and sleeping patterns, as well as alcohol and tobacco use.
Among other questions, the people were asked to report the speed at which they ate -- categorized as fast, normal, or slow.
At the start of the study, 22,070 people -- nearly a third of the group -- admitted they normally gobbled down their food fast. More than 33,400 said they ate at 搉ormal speed. Only about 4,190 were self-professed slow eaters.
After taking into account other potential factors, the researchers found that those who said they ate at normal speed were 29 percent less likely to be obese than those who said they were fast eaters. The findings for slow eaters were even more striking: those who said they ate slowly were 42 percent less likely to be obese.
People who said they don抰 usually snack after dinner and those who avoiding eating within two hours of bedtime also tended to see some weight loss, the researchers found.
Overall reductions in waist circumference were small, but they were greater among the slow and normal speed eaters in the study.
Other habits the researchers looked at -- including whether people ate or skipped breakfast, and how much sleep they got -- did not appear to have a significant impact on weight.
24. The underlined part 搒hrink their waistlines in Paragraph 1 means_______________.
A. put up weight B. lose weight C. keep fit D. train the waist
25. According to the text, people who eat fast____________
A. probably increase more weight
B. probably lose weight
C. probably eat less
D. probably eat more
26. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Normal speed eaters are the mostly likely to be become fat.
B. Not eating anything within two hours of bedtime has little effect on people weight.
C. Whether people eat breakfast doesn抰 affect people抯 weight at all.
D. How much sleep people get doesn抰 influence people抯 weight greatly.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How fast people eat is linked to weight loss
B. Three Habits linked to weight loss
C. The cause of obesity
D. How to lose weight

One day,a college student was taking a walk with a professor.As they went along,they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path.They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by,and who had nearly finished his day抯 work.
The student turned to the professor,saying,揕et us play a trick on the man:we will hide his shoes,and hide ourselves behind those bushes,and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them.
揗y young friend, answered the professor,搘e should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor.But you are rich,and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man.Put a coin into each shoe,and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him.
The student did so,and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by.The poor man soon finished his work,and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.After he slipped his foot into one of his shoes,he felt something hard.He bent down to feel what it was,and found the coin.Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face.
He fixed his eyes on the coin,turned it round,and looked at it again and again.He then looked around him on all sides,but no person was to be seen.He now put the money into his pocket,and continued to put on the other shoe,but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.His feelings overcame him.He fell upon his knees,looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving,in which he spoke of his wife,sick and helpless,and his children without bread.The timely help from some unknown hand would save them from dying.
The student stood there,deeply affected,and his eyes were filled with tears.揘ow, said the professor, are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?”The youth replied,“ You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.”
28.The student wanted to play a trick on the poor man to .?
A.find the truth B.show his wisdom
C.amuse himself D.teach him a lesson
29.After finding the two coins,the man felt .?
A.helpless B.interested
C.peaceful D.thankful
30.We can know from the passage that the professor is .?
A.wise B.rich
C.humorous D.serious
31.What does the story intend to tell us?
A.A small act of kindness brings great joy.
B.God helps those who help themselves.
C.Where there is a will,there is a way.
D.Actions speak louder than words.

We already know that a lack of sleep will actually prevent your brain from being able to make new memories. You end up feeling as though you抮e amnesiac.
A lack of sleep will lead to an increased development of a protein in the brain connected with Alzheimer抯 disease because it is during deep sleep at night that a system within the brain starts to wash away this protein. So if you抮e not getting enough sleep each and every night, more of that Alzheimer抯-related protein will build up. The more protein that builds up, the greater your risk of developing Alzheimer will be in later life.
What are the effects of the lack of sleep on the body? We know that a lack of sleep impacts your immune system(免疫系统).After just one night of four to five hours of sleep, there is a 70%reduction in immune cells called natural killer cells. And that’s the reason that short sleep predicts your risk for developing many forms of cancer.
In fact, the link between a lack of sleep and cancer is now so strong that recently the World Health Organization decided to classify any form of nighttime shift work as a probable cause of cancer. It is during deep sleep at night that your heart rate drops, your blood pressure goes down. If you抮e not getting enough sleep, your blood pressure rises. If you抮e getting six hours of sleep or less, you抣l have a 200%increased risk of having a deadly heart attack or stroke in your lifetime.
There is a global experiment that is performed on 1.6 billion people twice a year and it抯 called daylight savings time. And we know that in the spring, when we lose one hour of sleep, we see a 24%increase in heart attacks the following day.
Another question, perhaps, is what is the recycle rate of a human being? How long can we actually last without sleep before we start to see worsening in your brain fun_ction? And the answer seems to be about 16 hours of wakefulness. Once you get past 16 hours of being awake, that抯 when we start to see mental and physical damages in the body. We know that after you’ve been awake for 19 or 20 hours, your mental capacity(心智能力)is so damaged that you would be as slow as someone who was drunk. So if you were to ask me what is the recycle rate of a human being, it does seem to be about 16 hours and we need about eight hours of sleep to repair the damage of wakefulness.
32. The underlined word 揳mnesiac in Paragraph 1 probably means
A. sleepy B. tolerant C. relieved D. forgetful
33. According to the article, we can infer that_
A. the more you sleep, the more protein there will be
B. you抮e more likely to suffer heart attacks in the spring
C. deep sleep at night protects you from a harmful protein
D. you抣l develop many forms of cancer due to short sleep
34. When you抮e awake over 16 hours, .
A. your brain won抰 fun_ction in a proper wayB. your brain needs at least 8 hours to recover
C. you must have drunk large amounts of wineD. you walk as slowly as the physically disabled
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Sleeping sickness kills B. Enough sleep counts
C. Less sleep causes cancer D. Sleep is necessary for man

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. ____36____ Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. ____37____

Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
____39____ Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it抯 a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it抯 a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn抰 give you license to correct everyone else. ____40____ At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

Nowadays, there is a growing concern over the issue of students’ smoking.
As is known to us all, smoking may have all kinds of harmful 61 (effect) on the health of both the smokers themselves and non-smokers around them. For example, smoking does terrible damage to smokers hearts and lungs and it is more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant.
Once they start smoking, they may find 62 difficult to quit because they can become physically addicted 63 nicotine and may develop the habit of smoking and finally become mentally addicted.
So, it is high time that these young smokers made up their minds to quit smoking. Firstly, they are supposed to prepare 64 (they). For example, they can make a list of the benefits they will get from stopping smoking. Then throw away the last packet of cigarettes. Secondly, be determined. Every time they feel like65 (smoke)a cigarette, remind themselves that they are non-smokers. Reread the list of benefits they wrote 66 (early). Thirdly, every time they feel stressed, they can do some relaxation exercises 67 do something else to keep their minds and especially their hands busy. Finally, do not be 68 (disappoint) if they have to try several times before they finally stop smoking. Just try again and they will succeed 69__(eventual).
I wish that all the students70 (can) get rid of smoking.

Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn抰 have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.
The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as they could be. The mother was holding her husbands hand, looking up at him as if to say, 揧ou are my knight in shining armor. He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say 揧ou got that right. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded 損lease let me buy eight children抯 tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.
The ticket lady gave the price. The man抯 wife let go of his hand, lowered her head and her lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, 揌ow much did you say? The ticket lady again told him the price. The man obviously didn抰 have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn抰 have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense, so I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.

Paragraph 1
Seeing what was going on, my dad seemed to have an idea .He put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,“Excuse me,sir, this fell out of your pocked.” The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes,took my dad’s hand in both of his and squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill. With his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car.We didn’t go to the circus .When I asked dad why he did so, “My child, it was a heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for a hand,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young.” He paused for a while as if wandering in his memory. “We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others . We didn’t go to the circus tonight,but we didn’t go without.”
