7.A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers."Last week,"said he,"my umbrella was stolen from a London church.As it was a present,I spent twice its worth in advertising,but didn't get it back."
"How did you write your advertisement?"asked one of the listeners,a merchant."Here it is,"said the man,taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper.The other man took it and read,"Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening a black silk umbrella.The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No 10Broad Street.""Now,"said the merchant,"I often advertise,and find that it pays me well.But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance.Let us try your umbrella again,and if it fails,I will buy you a new one."
The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote:"If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble,he will return the umbrella to No.10Broad Street.He is well known."
This appeared in the paper,and on the following morning,the man was astonished when he opened the front door.In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in and his own was among the number.Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake,and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

55.According to the first advertisement,who would receive ten shillings?A
A.The one left the umbrella at No.10 Broad Street.
B.The one left the umbrella in the City Church.
C.The one found the umbrella at No.10 Broad Street.
D.The one gave the message to the man.
56.The result of the first advertisement was thatD.
A.the man got his umbrella back         
 B.the man found his umbrella
C.the man found his umbrella             
D.the man wasted some money advertising
57."If it fails,I will buy you a new one"suggested thatD.
A.he was rich enough to afford an umbrella
B.he was not sure he would get the umbrella back
C.he was ready to help others
D.he was quite sure of his success
58.This is a story aboutA.
A.how to make an effective advertisement
B.how a man lost and found his umbrella
C.how to find lost things
D.how to put an advertisement in the newspaper.

分析 文章主要講述的是這個人是如何通過一個有效的廣告找回自己的雨傘的.

解答 55.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No 10Broad Street.撿到傘并把它放到No 10Broad Street的人會收到 10先令,所以答案選A.
  56.D   推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一句A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers.和最后一句,說明第一則廣告并沒有起作用,那個人并沒有拿回雨傘.
 57.D  推理判斷題.本句意思是:如果失敗了,我會給你買一個新的.說明這個人對于他的廣告非常有把握,很確信.D正確. 
 58.A主旨大意題.文章主要講述的是這個人是如何通過一個有效的廣告找回自己的雨傘的.

點評 在閱讀時要抓住文章的主題和細(xì)節(jié),分析文章結(jié)構(gòu),根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)在聯(lián)系,挖掘文章的深層含義,對于暗含在文章中的人物的行為動機,事件中的因果關(guān)系及作者未言明的傾向、意圖、態(tài)度、觀點等要進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的判斷、推理、分析,進(jìn)一步增強理解能力,抓住材料實質(zhì)性的東西.

18.If you have a daughter,take the time to read this.It could save her a lot of heartache.Not to mention stomach aches,headaches,missed days of school,lower grades,eating issues and depression.
The sad truth is that every school,whether public or private,has mean girls.I bet you can still even remember who they are from your school.As a school consultant and mother of three daughters,I know firsthand both personally and professionallyhow much it hurts when girls are targeted by bullies(恃強凌弱者).
The old saying"sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me,"couldn't be further from the truth.While boys usually bully through intimidation (脅迫),girls bully through exclusion,also called relational aggression.Here's an example of a case of relational bullying,taken from my experience as a school consultant:
"Heather"was miserable because a girl in her class,"Leslie,"was not only saying mean things to her face,but getting the other girls in the class to exclude her with the age old line"You can't be friends with me,if you're friends with her."In our sessions,Heather would complain that she didn't have anyone to play with because girls were afraid that if they hung around her they'd become Leslie's next target.
In order to improve the situation,I had to not only reduce the power Leslie had,but empower Heather as well.Here are some ideas that helped,adapted for use by parents:
Ask for specifics when your daughter mentions bullying.Who?Where?How?
Tell the principal and classroom teacher the specifics of how she is being bullied.Have them tell other teachers (i.e.,gym,art,music),hallway monitors and cafeteria staff so that everyone who comes in contact with her can be on the lookout and ready to interfere.
Explain to her that reporting an incident is not the same as tattling(打小報告),and have her tell an adult at school when she is being bullied.
Teach her to convey self-confidence by walking confidently,with her head up.Bullies target those they think are weaker.
Arrange opportunities for your daughter to socialize with her friends outside of school to help her maintain a strong social support system.
In Heather's case,these steps relieved the problem.But because it's tougher to catch girl bullies,it's extremely important for girls to tell an adult if they are being bullied.Unlike boys,who usually bully physically,mean girls often spread rumors,whisper as their target walks by,talk loudly about a party she wasn't invited to,give her the silent treatment,and as discussed above,tell others not to be friends with her.School personnel are there to help,but in order to do anything they must know a problem exists!

17.High blood pressure is defined as 140mmHg over 90mmHg,and for years,doctors have used that measure as the threshold for prescribing anti-hypertensive drugs.But based on new recommendations,adults who are 60or older can wait until their readings reach 150over 90or above to begin medication.After reviewing available evidence on the effects of blood pressure treatments,the Institute of Medicine's Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8)concluded that aggressive treatment can lead to lightheadedness,falls and fainting in elderly populations-so they advised loosening the guidelines for starting medication.
But days after the guidelines were published,heart experts raised concerns about how the advice would affect patients; inadequately controlled blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
Members of the JNC8who voted against the recommendations published an editorial in the Annals of Internal Medicine outlining their reasons for opposing the change."We,the panel minority,believed that evidence was insufficient to increase the target goal from its current level because increasing the goal may cause harm by increasing the risk for CVD(心血管疾。゛nd partially undoing the remarkable progress in reducing cardiovascular mortality in Americans older than 60,"they wrote.
Dr.Suzanne Steinbaum said she has not changed the way she treats her patients over 60.She says,"As a preventive cardiologist(心臟病學(xué)家),these new guidelines have made me crazy.What we have learned is that blood pressure treatment even for a patient above 80has been shown to be critical.It goes against everything we know as cardiologists."
Defending the panel's decision,Dr.Paul A.James,co-chairman of the guidelines committee,said in an email to TIME,"I can assure you that the panel discussed the opinions of the minority members on three different occasions and the majority were not persuaded that the expert skills of a few members should override the scientific evidence."
James said that as with any medications,doctors will use the blood pressure recommendations as guidelines,and prescribe drugs based on their evaluation of each patient."Medications prescribed by physicians all have the potential to be dangerous,"he wrote."Educating doctors about the scientific evidence will help doctors make better decisions with patients.Physicians who practice on the basis of scientific evidence usually subscribe to simple rule-if the medicine cannot be shown to help the patient,then the medicine should not be prescribed."
The editorial isn't likely to change them any time soon.But the concerns should urge doctors to monitor their patients more closely and tailor medications and their doses more carefully.
