Are supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more? When you enter a supermarket, the manager knows         than you do how you will behave — which        you will walk, where you will        , what will make you      one product rather than another. When customers go into a shop, they      look to their left       move  towards the right. So supermarket entrances are usually on the left of the building, and the arrangement is to take shoppers       the store ,aisle after aisle, from left to right. Then shoppers will pay attention to all the      .
Fresh fruit and        are displayed near supermarket entrances. This gives the        that only healthy food is sold in the shop.       foods that everyone buys, like sugar and tea are put near each other. They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past other attractive foods        they find what they want. In this way, shoppers are      to buy products that they do not really       .
People walk quickly through      aisles, but they move more slowly in wide aisles and give more attention to the products. One best-selling       for products is at the end of aisles, because shoppers        to turn into the next aisles.
Sweets are often placed at children’s        level at the checkout. While parents are waiting to pay, children        the sweets and put them in the trolley.
Customers buy more when shelves are      than when they are half empty because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.

小題5:A 副詞辨析。A自然地B僅僅C容易D匆忙地；當(dāng)顧客走進(jìn)一家商店，他們很自然地朝左邊看，但是卻走向右邊。這就是為什么很多超市的入口處都在左邊而不是右邊的原因。
小題6:C 上下文串聯(lián)。前半句說他們進(jìn)入商店朝左邊看，下句說他們卻走向右邊。上下文之間存在著轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
小題7:C 介詞辨析。A進(jìn)入B沿著C環(huán)繞D通過；Take sb around….帶著某人四處參觀….；超市的安排就是讓顧客們四處參觀，購(gòu)買物品。

Friendships can be difficult — because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people finally get hurt.
Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of themselves and their own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should be against.
The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friends the same way that you'd like to be treated(對(duì)待). This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she was in your shoes.
Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these friend problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.
小題1:This passage mainly talks about ________.
A．the importance of friendship
B．the advantages(益處) of friendship
C．the problems of friendship
D．the disadvantages(劣勢(shì)) of friendship
小題2:According to the writer, problems with friendship may appear when ________.
A．one is honest B．one is selfishC．one is openD．one is kind
小題3:According to the passage, the first and most important thing to be other people's friend is ________.
A．to treat your friend as you like to be
B．to give your friends whatever you have
C．not to hurt your friends' feelings
D．not to think of your own need any more
小題4:What's the purpose of understanding how to deal with friendship problems?
A．To have a comfortable life.

C．To be treated the way you want.
D．To get a boyfriend or girlfriend more quickly.

Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day. And just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers, presents from their shops.

When I wake up on summer mornings, I know I am going to my favorite place to volunteer and make a difference in someone's life just by being with him or her -- a summer school for autistic (患孤獨(dú)癥的)children.
By helping the kids read or do math, I am not only teaching important skills but also helping them feel like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids I work with can think and feel. They need help only in certain areas. 
Of course, each kid is special. For example, some kids like to draw, and others like to sing.
At the school, the kids learn through about 20 activities. These activities can help them learn skills they will need later in life.
The very first day I volunteered, a boy came up to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said “Hello”. From then on, I knew I could make a difference.
Another boy loved to have me read books that can help him learn to read. Sometimes he could be encouraged to read a few words or sentences. Finally, one day during reading practice, he read nearly 220 words himself!
Summer school is also a time for fun, Last summer, bagpipe(風(fēng)箱)players came to perform. Most of us had our hands over our ears because they were so loud. When they asked for a volunteer from the audience, one girl raised her hand as high as she could, got up on stage, and even tried the bagpipes in front of everyone.
Through these experiences, I realize that the challenges these kids face do not stop them from doing many amazing things. I'm teaching them, but they are teaching me more.
小題1:According to Paragraph 2, many people think autistic kids _________ .
A．can't read or do mathB．don't have important skills

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.

The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode （方式） of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size.

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.

What’s in name? Well, apparently, our general happiness. Psychologists say that what we are called has a direct connection with our happiness.
Those called Judy and Joshua are the happiest, while Lynn or Ben is likely to be the unhappiest, according to research. Psychologist Dr David Holmes found that this can cause the association(聯(lián)想) that others make with the name. Hearing the name Judy may make them think of actress Judi Dench or TV presenter Judy Finnigan, and people who are considered good-natured and happy. On the other hand, people think Paulines are unhappy because of the character Pauline Fowler from the TV programme East Enders. The research claims that this association influences the person with the name and so their personality is shaped to fit in. Dr David Holmes said, “This also has some relation with the original meaning of the name, for example, the original meaning of Judy is ‘praised’.”
Certain names also work well in certain aspects of life. In the workplace Richard and Judy are the happiest, while those called Ruth and Carly are the happiest in relationships. At the other end of the scale the unhappiest workers are Stuart and Liz, with the unhappiest in relationships being Frank and Harriet.
Dr Holmes said, “The relation we have with certain names, particularly important namesakes (同名者), also shapes how we see ourselves and so may have an effect on our confidence. Names are like product brands in having a powerful effect on attitudes and should therefore be chosen with care.”
“Other names are connected with being brave, outgoing or serious. Therefore, many celebrities change their names to ones which reflect these characteristic. This, in turn, influences parents when they choose names for their babies,” said Dr Holmes, “while names connected with ordinary people are rarely chosen for their babies.”
小題1:What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．How to choose a good name for babies.
B．The relation between names and happiness.
C．How to have a name connected with celebrities.
D．The relation between names and success.
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following names are better?
A．Joshua and Ben.B．Pauline and Frank.
C．Richard and Stuart.D．Ruth and Joshua.
小題3:The author may continue the passage with _________.
A．names and product brands
B．famous people’s names
C．names and personality
D．parents’ choices of baby names
小題4:Which of the following is connected with names according to the passage?
