“Clothes Swapping” has become an increasingly popular activity for women in the United States. The women can give away unwanted clothing at a clothes swap event and get something different in return.

Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield, Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for the area’s popular clothing-swapping group.

Daphne Steinberg was having a good day. “For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT, Ann Taylor is a really nice women’s designer and I will totally wear this to work. So I love that, I love that I can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, not totally bankrupt myself.”

Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away. “Because it helps to keep the Earth green. There’s no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what’s already here. Give it a new home--- let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”

Kim Pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in Springfield. She also organized a money-raising activity for the high school’s debate team. It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes.Another is by donating all of the “un-swapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.

“I started doing this four years ago, and we’ve been doing it for four years, getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”

She used the social media website meetup.com to help publicize the events. The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. Mrs.Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules. But she say competition for desirable fashion can be strong.

“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people coming in with their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a free-for-all. We try to avoid that as much as possible.”

1.At a clothes swap women can______ .

A. make some money by giving away unwanted clothing

B. buy whatever clothing they like

C. have a social gathering and make friends

D. exchange unwanted clothing for something different

2.We can learn from what Daphne Steinberg said that ______.

A. she got some nice clothes at the clothes swap

B. the clothes swap was the largest ever in the area

C. it was the first time she had been to a clothes swap

D. she saved much more money than she had expected

3.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A. How Kim Pratt started the clothing-swapping event.

B. What Kim Pratt did with the un-swapped clothes.

C. How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes.

D. What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______ .

A. clothes swaps often go out of control in the end

B. clothes-swapping is becoming increasingly popular with women

C. Improper behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlled

D. more clothing swapping events need to be organized

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.

Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, ”O(jiān)h boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.”I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his while!

Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile ,”O(jiān)h that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting!

It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.

Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter mainly told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.

Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming .Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, ”O(jiān)h, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轟炸的)person is sure to have.

1.In Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to .

A. make a comparison B. introduce a topic

C. describe a scene D. offer an argument

2.In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was .

A. friendly B. warm-hearted

C. not considerate D. not helpful

3.From “Dreams of head-cutting!” in Paragraph 3, we learn that the writer .

A. was mad at the sales agent

B. was reminded of the cruel pharaoh

C. wished that the sales agent would have had dreams

D. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication

B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success

C. Receiving bad news requires great courage

D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful

There are two ways of driving in the world: if the driver’s seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “l(fā)eft-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the world’s population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left.

Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each other’s right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animal’s left. Obviously, it’s safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense for the horse to be ridden on the left.

A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon conquered nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire (帝國(guó)) were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies (殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception is Egypt, as that country was defeated by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.

Some countries changed sides’ until modem times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7,2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import (進(jìn)口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right- hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.

1.Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?

A. B.

C. D.

2.In ancient times, Romans .

A. travelled on the right

B. rode past each other’s right

C. got on the horses from the right

D. behaved as they liked

3.In modem times, countries follow the same driving way except .

A. Egypt. B. China

C. Sweden D. Australia

4.What is the writer’s purpose for writing this passage?

A. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.

B. To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.

C. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.

D. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.
