9.Left alone for over a month after the sad death of their owner,cats Roly Poly and Pudding never stood much of a chance.Amazingly,however,the lucky pair survived thanks to their vast fat.
Police found the fat cats after reports of a smell coming from their elderly owner's home in Walsall,West Midlands.Both cats were close to death,but had kept on diet although having no access to food.When officers found the pair,they were still overweight at over nine kilos t-more than twice the weight of a normal cat.
RSPCA inspectors believe the cats managed to stay alive because of their owner's feeding habits,and could have been even heavier before they were discovered.
Judith Haw,from the RSPCA,said,"The cats were obviously much-loved by their owner,but perhaps a bit too much.We think the lady didn't have any relatives who could care for the cats and she didn't have time to let anyone else know.The cats did not have access to any food and were using the house as a toilet,so police were called when neighbors complained about the smell."
Judith said the cats,which are being eared for at Foxtwood Cattery near Stoke,need a new home with a perfect parent who would be a health-conscious fitness fanatic (狂熱者).She also said,"We'd love to find the cats a personal trainer or perhaps someone who is on a diet so they can help the cats lose weight,too."

56.Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A
A.The cats are being looked after near Stoke.
B.Inspectors from RSPCA called the police.
C.The lady had time to let anyone else know her death.
D.The cats are twice heavier than a normal cat.

A.their owner's feeding habits
B.too much food
C.their owner's love
D.RSPCA's careful attending

A.were left alone for a month
B.needed a toilet
C.should be fed scientifically
D.gave off some terrible smell

C.police found the pair in Walsall

4.In today's fast-paced society,few people take time to enjoy the midday meal.Most of us just rush right through it.We grab a quick salad,or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers,Sometimes,if there is a deadline around the comer,we just skip lunch.
The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either.We are constantly distracted by e-mail,social media,and 24-hour news.Even when we do sit down for lunch,we are more connected to our hand-held electronic devices.
Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems,and many developed countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break.These laws give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift,but it's up to them whether they do so or not.
Frank Partnoy,a former Wall Street trader,says that employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch.This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both individuals and society.
Writing in The Guardian,Partnoy says that one obvious reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective(認(rèn)識(shí)). A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box.It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context(背景).
What we eat at lunch is also important.In Partnoy's opinion,a fast food lunch is more harmful than not having lunch at all.And it's not just about calories and unhealthy food.Recent studies show that fast food also has negative effects on how we think.
However,if we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues,we are more likely to slow down,something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over-packed fast food chain.
Despite these benefits,some employees might still be unwilling to take time off for lunch.Partnoy's suggestion?Make skipping lunch difficult:Employers could ask workers to fill out a form stating their reasons for skipping the meal.

36.What does the underlined phrase"skip lunch"mean in the first paragraph?A
A.don't have lunch  B.have a quick lunch
C.work while having lunch   D.take a lunch break
37.Which of the following is true according to the text?C
A.Modern technology results in good diet habits.
B.Electronic devices make our life comfortable.
C.Many people are too busy to have a good lunch.
D.Laws have passed to make workers have lunch.
38.According to Frank Partnoy,long lunch breaksA.
A.a(chǎn)re time for the workers to relax their mind
B.make the employees work longer hours
C.a(chǎn)re for employees to have a quick lunch
D.make the workers eat a proper lunch at home
39.In Partnoy's opinion,a fast food lunchC.
A.saves a lot of time for a rest
B.is better than having no lunch
C.a(chǎn)ffects people's way of thinking
D.makes workers sit down and think
40.What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?D
A.To warn us not to eat fast food.
B.To introduce Frank Partnoy's opinion.
C.To encourage us to work more efficiently.
D.To show the importance of a proper lunch.

14.Are you a compulsive spender,or do you hold on to your money as long as possible?Are you a bargain hunter?Would you rather use charge accounts than pay in cash?Your answers to these questions will reflect your personality.According to psychologists,our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values,but can also stem from past problems.
Experts in psychology believe that for many people,money is an important symbol of strength and influence.Husbands who complain about their wives'spending habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage.Wives,on the other hand,may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry at their husbands.In addition,many people consider money a symbol of love.They spend it on their family and friends to express love,or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love.
People can be addicted to different things-for example,alcohol,drugs,certain foods,or even television.They are compulsive in their addictions,i.e.they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable.In the same way,according to psychologists,compulsive spenders must spend money.
For people who buy on credit,furthermore,charge accounts are even more exciting than money:in other words,they feel that with credit,they can do anything.Their pleasures in spending enormous amounts are actually greater than those they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting.To save money,of course,most people look for sales,low prices,and discounts.Compulsive bargain hunters,however,often buy things that they don't need just because they are cheap.They want to believe that they are helping their budgets,but they are really playing an exciting game:when they can buy something for less than other people,they feel that they are winning.Most people,experts claim,have two reasons for their behavior:a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists,of course,who understand the psychology of spending habits,but also business people.Stores,companies,and advertisers use psychology to increase business:they consider people's needs for love,power,or influence,their basic values,their beliefs and opinions,etc.in their advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists often use a method called"behavior therapy(療法)"to help individuals solve their personality problems.In the same way,they can help people who feel that they have problems with money:they give them"assignments"If a person buys something in every store that he enters,for instance,a therapist might teach him self discipline in this way:on the first day of his therapy,he must go into a store,stay five minutes,and then leave.On the second day,he should stay for ten minutes and try something on.On the third day,he stays for fifteen minutes,asks the salesclerk a question,but does not buy anything.Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn't buy anything,and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying.

61.If you use charge accounts,C.
    A.you pay in cash                      B.you pay less than you should
    C.you pay with credit card             D.you pay more than you should
62.Compulsive bargain hunters buy things for all the following reasons except thatD.
    A.the things they buy are cheap       B.they believe they can balance their budgets
    C.they get psychological satisfaction D.they really need the things they buy
63.Behavior therapy in this case aims atB.
    A.helping businessmen to increase their business
    B.helping compulsive spenders to buy less
    C.finding out how people will react if they are allowed to buy
    D.finding out what people will do in front of a bargain
64.The underlined word"those"in Paragraph 3 refers toC.
    A.different things                    B.their addictions
    C.their pleasures                     D.charge accounts
65.From the passage we can conclude thatA.
    A.how you spend money reveals if you are psychologically healthy
    B.money is a necessity and will bring you happiness if you have much
    C.compulsive buying problems can be solved by taking some medicine
    D.a(chǎn)ll businessmen understand well the psychology of customers.
