These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers” for the simple reason that they wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a（an） for the Ellesmere Corporation.

He then changed into overalls and the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his . Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found job.

It’s puzzling, isn’t it? No matter where you try to tickle（使人發(fā)癢）yourself, even on the soles（腳底） of your feet or under your arms, you just can’t.
To understand why, you need to know more about how your brain works. One of its main tasks is to try to make good guesses about what’s going to happen next. While you’re busy getting on with your life, walking downstairs or eating your breakfast, parts of your brain are always trying to predict the future.
Remember when you first learned how to ride a bicycle? At first, it took a lot of concentration to keep the handlebars steady and push the pedals（踏板）. But after a while, cycling became easy. Now you’re not aware of the movements you make to keep the bike going. From experience, your brain knows exactly what to expect so your body rides the bike automatically. Your brain is predicting all the movements you need to make.
You only have to think consciously about cycling if something changes---like if there’s a strong wind or you get a flat tyre. When something unexpected happens like this, your brain is forced to change its predictions about what will happen next. If it does its job well, you’ll adjust to the strong wind, leaning your body so you don’t fall.
Why is it so important for our brains to predict what will happen next? It helps us make fewer mistakes and can even save our lives. For example, when a chief fireman sees a fire, he immediately makes decisions about how best to position his men. His past experiences help him foresee what might happen and choose the best plan for fighting the fire. His brain can instantly predict how different plans would work out, and he can rule out any bad or dangerous plans without putting his men at risk in real life.
So how does all this answer your question about tickling? Because your brain is always predicting your own actions, and how your body will feel as a result, you cannot tickle yourself. Other people can tickle you because they can surprise you. You can’t predict what their tickling actions will be.
1.What is the best title for this passage?
A. How Does the Brain work?
B. Why Can’t I Tickle Myself?
C. The importance of Prediction
D. The Importance of Our Brains
2.Our brains cannot predict what will happen when we______.
A.walk down the stairs
B.eat our breakfast
C. suddenly lose our balance and fall
D. ride a bike
3.The phrase “rule out” in Paragraph 4 means______.
A. decide that something is not suitable B. think about
C. act according to the rules D. expect
4.The passage is probably taken from______.
A. a scientific report for experts
B. a textbook for medical students
C. a book for children
D.a research paper for doctors

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is unusual for what it contains: the news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the comments and special features(特寫)as well, from editorial page to feature articles, from interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre, and music. A newspaper is even more unusual for the way one reads it never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next.
A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality, that is, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But this immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it also mean that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than temporary value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and order, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness(意識) as you change and apply the techniques of reading.
1.What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean ?
A．wide coverage B．speed in reporting news
C．various style D．popularity among readers
2.According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the same newspaper is that ___________.
A．people are interested in the same kind of news
B．different people prefer different newspapers
C．people scan for the news they are interested in
D．people have different views about what a good newspaper is
3.A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because ___________.
A．readers like to read different newspapers
B．it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality
C．readers are difficult to please
D．it tries to serve different readers
4.The best title for this passage would be ___________.
A．The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper
B．The Importance of a good Newspaper
C．Good Newspapers and Bad Newspapers
D．Some Advice on How to Read a Newspaper
