This is a true story of how my car got stuck in water and how a stranger helped me during the worst rain storm.
Last Sunday, the sky was grey when I woke up. The weather report said rain was coming, but I couldn’t stay home just because of rain.
Around 8:00 am I had a doctor’s appointment. It wasn’t raining then. At 9:00 I left the doctor’s office to drive to work, and it was raining hard. I just had to go about 5-6 miles down one main road to get to a nearby school, where I could stay until the rain ended. Unfortunately, the road in front of the school was flooded, and my car stopped in the middle.
“Who is going to save me?” I wondered. I shut off the engine and turned on my flashers (車燈). I called 911. They were not helpful. I called my husband, even though he couldn’t come and help me. I was also very close to a police station. But I never saw even one police car. I decided to get out of the car, since it was still pouring.
My best decision of the day had been to wear rain boots. I took my umbrella and quickly got out and ran across the street to a shelter.
Before long, a tow truck(拖車) happened to pass by the street. The driver kindly offered to help me. At that moment, I really needed car pulled out quickly, so I trusted the stranger. He pulled my car and drove me home. After he had dropped my car off, he also helped me check the engine. He said the engine was most likely flooded, but fortunately there was no water inside the car.

Mother stayed at home cooking and cleaning while Father left for work. Two or more children took the bus to school. In the evening, all the family members got together at home again. This is what a traditional family was like twenty years ago. But now great changes have happened in British families.
As many as 2 out of 3 marriages now end in divorce(離婚), and many children have to live with one parent and only see the other at weekends or during holidays.
There has been a great increase in the number of working women with children. Many women have to work to support themselves and their children. Even in the family where there is no divorce, both parents have to work in order to survive.
Also women are no longer happy to stay at home taking care of children. Many of them have jobs and some of them can even make more money than men, the traditional breadwinners.
What’s more, the increasing number of single-parent families have caused an increase in the crime rate (犯罪率) among children in a way. It is thought that if a child doesn’t have a father, he or she will be harmed.
However the changes may be good for some people. For women it’s now much easier to have well-paid jobs. Although it is difficult to be a working mother, it is no longer seen as a bad thing for children.

Yawning sends out certain messages---either “Oh, this movie is boring”or I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is so overheated?
A new study, led by a research team of Princeton University, has indicated that yawning could be the brain’s natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily.com.
The research team did an experiment on 160 people , 80 in summer and 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.
When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched, which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brain.
The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawn. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.
However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.
According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.
小題1:The purpose of the experiment is ________.
A．to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equally.
B．to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturally
C．to find the frequency of people’s yawning
D．to show the real reason why people yawn
小題2:The information we get from Paragraph 5 and 6 is that_______
A．longer outdoor summertime results in more yawns.
B．yawning frequency changes with outdoor time
C．yawning frequency increases with outdoor time
D．longer outdoor wintertime leads to fewer yawns
小題3:According to the text, people yawn more often________.
A．when the air temperature is lower outside the body
B．when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotter
C．when the air temperature is higher than the body
D．when the air temperature is equal to the body.
小題4:What could be the best title for the text?
A．Yawning is a Sign of Brain Disease
B．Yawning Carries Some Information
C．Yawning Benefits Your Body
D．Yawning Cools Your Brain

To some, it's a dream job---eating delicious meals for free and then writing about them. But for some food critics, their eyes aren't the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast.
Karen Fernau, a food writer for The Arisona Republic, said when she first started her job –she began to gain weight. “I always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day. " she says. Nine years later, keeping her weight steady and her health intact （完好無(wú)損的）is a daily battle. If she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal, she usually eats fruits or salads throughout the day. Now she is always keeping track of what's in the food she eats and she says most people don't even look at or consider it. At one tasting task alone, she says, upward of l,000 calories is often added to her day. That's about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adult.
But even though she's thought of a special eating method, Fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle. And food editors, writers and critics across the country couldn't agree more. “When I'm at home or not eating for work, it's healthy food to the extreme," says Phil Vettel, who's been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19 years.
Vettle, who eats dinner at four restaurants each week, says unlike most professions, he has no right to choose. "If I'm going out to eat, I can't choose the healthiest thing on the menu, I have to eat when they're bringing me. " While Vettel exercises when he can, Joe Yonan, a food editor at The Washington Post, has strengthened his exercise habits since he started the job two years ago. Yonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and immediately hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his body training three to five times a week.
Still, it's a struggle that many Americans might envy. After all, it's one thing to get your calories from lobster（龍蝦） tails or a delicate（精致的）chocolate cookie and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers.
小題1:What does the underlined sentence mean in Para l?
A．The food critics are always impressed by the delicious food in the restaurant.
B．The food critics are shocked to learn they have to have one more feast.
C．There is a wide variety of choices for the food critics to choose from.
D．The food critics eat delicious food, which also tends to result in gaining weight.
小題2:What can we learn about the job of being a food critic?
A．They enjoy free and delicious dishes and make comments on them.
B．They only work for local magazines and newspapers.
C．Once they become food critics, they tend to stay in the job.
D．Their excellent sense of taste makes them qualified for the job.
小題3:What is mentioned to be a method that food writers use to keep fit?
A．Not eating anything except for the free meals.
B．Writing down everything they put into their mouth.
C．Hiring a personal trainer for special exercise instructions.
D．Choosing only the healthy food on the menu.
小題4:What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．No matter whether the food is expensive or not, the gaining of calories is the same.
B．The calories that lobster tails and chocolate cookies contain are less harmful.
C．Americans envy those food critics since they enjoy delicate and tasty food.
D．Everybody should take the calories in their food carefully.
小題5:What's the main idea of the passage?
A．A job offering free meals may not be as desirable as it sounds to be.
B．Dishes in the restaurant usually contain too many calories.
C．Eating fruits and vegetables every day is the best way to lose weight.
D．Food writers work hard to maintain their health and weight.

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there’s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas:
Do you prefer working alone or with other people? There are isolating(使孤立)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
How do you handle change? Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
Do you enjoy working with computers? I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
________________________________? This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you’ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
How do you like to get paid? Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Isolating jobs usually drive people mad
B．Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
C．Extreme people tend to work with other.
D．Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
小題2: What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?
A．Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your position.
B．There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select a job.
C．Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select a job.
D．You should ignore your skills when you select a job.
小題3: Which of the following sentences is suitable for the blank?
A．What type of work environment do you enjoy?
B．What kind of people do you like to work with?
C．How can you fit in with your workmates?
D．Do you want to be a big fish in a small pond?
小題4:What is the best title for this passage?
A．Lifestyles and Job PayB．Jobs and Environment
C．Job Skills and Abilities D．Personalities and Jobs
小題5: What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?
A．Design.B．Changes.C．Cooperation.D．Hobbies.

What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic/inter­est may have other choices.
In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail — other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situ­ation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrad­ing. Persuaders may enlighten our mind or prey on our vulnerability. Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of edu­cation is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
小題1:According to the passage, persuasion means ________.
A．changing others’ points of view
B．exercising power over other people
C．getting other people to consider your point of view
D．getting people to agree with you and do what you want
小題2:The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means________.
A．win B．failC．speakD．listen
小題3:The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________.
A．a(chǎn) danger to societyB．difficult to do well
C．unwelcome behaviorD．never successful
小題4:The passage mainly discusses ________.
A．how people persuade
B．why people persuade
C．that persuasion is both good and bad
D．that persuasion is important and it is all around us

Statuses are wonderful human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. In our everyday lives whenever we meet people, we always try to judge them in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman and so on.
Our statuses often vary with the people we meet, and change through life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume(表現(xiàn)出) the different statuses that various situations require. Much of social communication consists of recognizing and selecting among proper statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people, based on a constant mental process of assessment and understanding. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather easily.
A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and material. But an American is not free to choose the clothes of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society.
Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our wallet. Having made a choice within these limits, we can have certain changes made. But apart from small adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their shelves. Statuses too come ready-made, and the range of choice among them is limited.
