Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled (皺的).” Today David wears casual clothes — khaki pants and a sports shirt — to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.?

Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

C. he looks handsome in casual clothes

3. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Company workers started to dress down about thirty years ago.

B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.

C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.

D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.

4.D. he no longer works for any company

Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”. Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make. Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel-speak.

Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm calls. The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their responses. Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became alert(警惕的). Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.

"In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say 'there's an enemy of average threat that's here', and whistles without chucks say 'there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere', while pure chirps say, 'I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger. ' " Hare told. Discovery News.

Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems.

Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behavior, thus increasing the caller’s social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.

In fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language too. According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms.

While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests(害獸). Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”.

1.The text mainly talks about _______ .

A. the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies

B. the comparison between squirrels and chickadees

C. the calling for the protection of squirrels

D. the study on the language of squirrels

2.If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would probably make ____.

A. whistles with chucks B. pure chirps

C. whistles without chucks D. repeated chucks

3.The underlined word “tidings” in paragraph 6 probably means ____.

A. difficulties B. noises

C. messages D. languages

4.What can be learned from this text?

A. Squirrels communicate with each other as humans do.

B. Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls.

C. Other animals also well understand the language of squirrels.

D. Birds such as chickadees don’t have their own language.

Tiangong -- 1(or.Heavenly Palace)space module(艙)is the first step toward China’s plan to build a space station around 2020.Its launch(發(fā)射)by China has upset some countries,which are asking why China did not add on to the International Space Station that has been in place since 1998. After all, the Americans,Russians,Europeans and Japanese are using one platform to experiment in space.

Questions have also been asked about China’s final purpose in space and suggestions made that there is something as unpleasant as the theme in a James Bond movie,in which Chinese-looking enemies were at the root of some evil(邪惡的)plot to control the world.

Chinese don’t see themselves that way, and never in history have they been flag-planting settlers.Most Westerners are educated in the adventures of the great European explorers,headed by Christopher Columbus and James Cook,and followed closely by the groups of culture egotists(自大者)with a mix of guns,gold and the Bible in their hands.

In comparison,Zheng He,the great Chinese sailing master,took groups of ships to Africa and the Middle East to promote goodwill, with gifts of chinaware and art.No flags claiming(宣稱) possession of distant areas.But this is strange to Western society.

In this century,it is clear that space cannot be claimed by one nation.Yet advantage of technology in space does seem to be on some minds.Former US president Ronald Reagan caused shocks and worries with his Star Wars program.So when China shot down its own satellite as a test in January 2010 there were anxieties in the West about Star Wars 1ike scenario(劇本)becoming reality in the near future.

1.The launch of Tiangong -- 1 __________.

A. is appreciated by countries like the USA and Japan

B. will bring trouble to the western countries in space

C. is part of China’s plan to set up a station in space

D. will help China be a member of the Space Station

2.It is most probable that the US,Russia,Europe and Japan ______­­­­__.

A. are competing against one another in space wars

B. feel anxious about China’s setting up a space station

C. are cooperating to compete against China in space

D. have warned the world of China’s final purpose

3.The author of the passage mentions Zheng He _________.

A. to tell people China’s will never be enemies of world peace

B. to compare him to the great European explorers like Columbus

C. to indicate that he is the pride of the Chinese people

D. to show that the Chinese people are as great as other peoples

4.From the last paragraph,we can infer that _________.

A. China’s shooting down its satellite made the scenario become reality

B. some countries are trying to be ahead of the others in space exploration

C. China will be in control of the world if she starts space exploration

D. if a nation has a better technology in space,it will start a star war

Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”
