3.What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion?It means that we live among competing interests.Your roommate's need to study for an exam may take priority(優(yōu)先)over pizza.Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade.And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.
  In such a world,persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our point of view.When we persuade,we want to influence how others believe and behave.We may not always prevail-other points of view may be more persuasive,depending on the listener,the situation,and the merits of the case.But when we practice the art of persuasion,we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
  Some people,however,object to the very idea of persuasion.They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives.Just the opposite,we believe that persuasion is unavoidable-to live is to persuade.Persuasion may be ethical(合乎道義的) or unethical,selfless or selfish,inspiring or degrading.Persuaders may enlighten our minds or catch our vulnerability(弱點(diǎn)).Ethical persuasion,however,calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners.Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make.Therefore,the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
  Beyond its personal importance to us,persuasion is necessary to society.The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system,guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution(美國(guó)憲法).

A.changing others'point of view

C.unwelcome behavior      
D.never successful

18.This is not a diet.It's a simple way to lose weight.You don't have to give up the food you love or join a gym.You just follow some habits thin people have.Keep them,and you'll become thin.
◆Wake-up  When you wake up in the morning,sit up slowly without using your hands.With legs straight out,
lean forward(前俯) until you feel sore(酸痛的) in your back.It will use up 10calories.
◆Start with soup  Order a clear soup,and have it before the main food.In this way,you'll feel fuller,so you'll
eat less when the main food comes.
◆An apple or more a day  Apples are full of fiber(纖維) and water,so your stomach will want less.Studies
show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight.

15.What you do each morning affects your entire day.The choices that we repeatedly make decide the life we live.(36)G
Manage your energy,not your time.
If you think about it,you'll probably realize that you are better at doing certain tasks at certain times.For example,my creative energy is highest in the morning,so that's when I do my writing each day.However,I spend my afternoons on phone calls,and emails,which don't need my creative energy to be high.(37)D What task is that energy best suited for?
Prepare the night before.
It is really necessary to spend a few minutes each night organizing your to-do list for tomorrow.When I do it,I'll outline the article I'm going to write the next day and develop a short list of the most important items for me to do.(38)F
(39)A
Sounds simple,yet nobody does it.It took me a while to get over the urge(渴望) to open my inbox,but finally I realized that everything can wait a few hours.Nobody is going to email you about a true emergency (a death in the family,etc.),so leave your email alone for the first few hours of each day.
Turn your phone off.
This reduces the urge to check text messages.This simple method reduces the possibility that you waste time on meaningless tasks.
You've got 25,000mornings.(40)B

A.Don't open email until noon.
B.What will you do with each one?
C.Leave your phone in another room.
D.What type of energy do you have in the morning?
E.Try your best to finish your work in the morning.
F.It takes 10minutes that night and saves 3hours the next day.
G.Here are the methods that I've found to get the most out of my morning.

12.Dinosaurs ruled the planet for millions of years,and they are generally believed to have gone extinct.But the reality is that modern versions of dinosaurs are all around us.Scientists have been exploring similarities between birds and dinosaurs; and new research shows that these two types of animals are directly linked.
The connections between birds and dinosaurs are explored in a new museum exhibit called Dinosaurs Among Us at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
According to Mark Norell,the director of the exhibit and an expert at the museum,it is based on new scientific evidence collected over the last two decades."I think this is really going to shake up the way people think of dinosaurs"Norell told reporters."One could argue that we still live in the age of dinosaurs."
The exhibit includes ancient fossils and lifelike models of dinosaurs of all sizes to show the evolution of dinosaurs into birds.It examines several properties that are shared between the two species,including feathers,complex brains,the shapes.And sizes of eggs,and the ability to fly.Birds today make nests,lay eggs and tend to babies.Fossil research shows that some dinosaurs also made nests and laid eggs.Also,birds have hollow(中空的)bones,which don't weigh much and allow birds to take more air into their lungs.These adaptations help with flight.Some dinosaurs had these properties as well.In addition,the exhibit shows that there are many similarities between the legs,claws; and feet of dinosaurs and birds.
Norell noted that the research behind this exhibit is the result of advanced scientific,techniques; and new technologies.For example researchers used a scanning (掃描) process called computed tomography (CT) to look inside the brains of extinct dinosaurs.It combines with many X-rays to produce a 3D image."Modern technology tells us more than we thought we could ever know about the connections between dinosaurs and birds,"Norell said.

32.What's the main idea of this text?D
A.Experts.have discovered many dinosaurs'fossils.
B.A new museum has opened for visitors to New York City.
C.Research has been done on the lifestyles of birds and dinosaurs.
D.An exhibit shows the connections between birds and dinosaurs.
33.What does the underlined word"properties"in Paragraph 4 mean?B
A.Advantages.
B.Characters.
C.Changes.
D.Activities.
34.One of the similarities that dinosaurs and birds share lies inB
A.their lungs    
B.their light bones
C.the shapes of their nests    
D.the number of their eggs
35.What did Mark Norell try to show by mentioning CT?C
A.The importance of the research.
B.What connects dinosaurs and birds.
C.The application of modern technology.
D.How dinosaurs lived millions of years ago.
