An important question about eating outside is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “I’m afraid of it,I’ll have to be some place cheap, because I have very little money .”The other person may say, “ OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.” This means that these two persons agree to “go Dutch”, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s,” or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They’re great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you.” That would be very nice.
American customs（風(fēng)俗） about who pays for dates（約會） are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business  world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means  “Come, as my guest（客人）.” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning

A. how to eat outside   B. where to eat outside

Judgment of character can be influenced by somehting as simple as the temperature of a drink held in our hands .according ot a US study published today,.
Researchers form Yale University conducted experiments that showed that people perceive(認(rèn)知)others as more generous and more attentive if they have just been holding a hot cup of coffee，and that the inverse is true for cold drinks．    
A second study found that people are more likely'to give somethine to others if they held．
something warm, and more likely take something for themselves if they something cold, In the study .published in the current issue of the journal Science, the research team built on earlier studies that show the physical distance between indivduals also influences social judgment about others.
The experiment suggests that the warmth of an object or the distance that is felt between people means more than simple metaphors(暗喻).Both instances, researchers said ,are literal examples of trust first experienced between motehr and child during infancy.
“When we ask whether someone is a warm person or cold person。they both have a temperature 0f 98．6(Farenheit,37 Celsius)，’’said Yale psychology professor John Bargh，who co-authored the study with Lawrence Williams at the University of Colorado．“These terms indirectly explains the primitive experience of what it means to be warm and cold·’’
“Physical temperatures affect not just how humans see each other,but also how humans behave，”said Bargh，“The power of temperature on character assessments has been backed up by recent brain imaging studies．”He added．“Physical warmth call make us see others as warmer
people，         cause us to be warmer,more generous and trusting as well

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Several years ago, Masaru Ibuka, the chairman of Sony, was at a company planning a meeting. Suddenly he had a brilliant idea. He stopped the meeting and asked everyone present what would happen if Sony removed the recording function and speaker and sold headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was crazy. Still, Ibuka kept thinking about his idea and worked at refining it. The result, of course, turned out to be the wildly successful Sony Walkman.
Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making waffles(蛋奶烙餅)for his son, he wondered what would happen if he poured rubber into his waffle iron(蛋奶烙餅烤模).So, he tried and the result looked something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still,when he took this idea to several existing shoe companies he was literally(確實(shí)地)laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather disappointed. Bowerman was determined and went on to form his own company, making NIKE athletic shoes.
Sometimes good ideas grow out of frustration. When Fred Smith was a student at Yale University, he had some paperwork that he needed to have delivered across the country the next day. Smith was amazed to find out that overnight delivery was impossible. He sat for a long while wondering why. Why couldn’t there be reliable overnight mail delivery service? He decided to design one. Smith did just that and turned his design into a class project. His business professor gave him only a C for efforts. However, Smith refined the idea in that class project and eventually turned it into one of the first and most successful overnight mail services in the world——FedEx.
81. What did Masaru Ibuka’s idea turn out to be? （no more than 2 words）
______________________________________________________________________________
82. What did Fred Smith’s teacher think of his class project? （no more than 8 words）

The story of printing is a long and complex one. Before the invention of printing, the spread of knowledge depended either on word of mouth or handwriting. Both took time and errors happened easily. 2000 years ago in the Western Han Dynasty, stone-tablet rubbing(拓印) was common for spreading Confucianism or Buddhism. This led in the Sui Dynasty (581-618) to the use of carving writing or pictures on a wooden board, which became known as block printing(木版印刷).
The first book with an exact date of printing appeared in China in 868. In the Tang Dynasty (618-907), this technology was gradually introduced to Korea, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Block printing reached its golden age during the Song dynasty (960-1279) as the government encouraged the publication of large numbers of books. Yet block printing had its drawbacks. All the boards became useless after the printing was done and a single mistake in carving could ruin a whole block. In the Song Dynasty, a man named Bi Sheng carved individual characters on pieces of fine clay(粘土). Then he hardened the clay by a slow baking process, resulting in pieces of movable type.
Movable type printing has a very important position in the history of printing, for all later printing methods such as wooden type, copper type and lead type printing all developed on the basis of movable clay types. During the 13-14th centuries, This technology spread to Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Europe. Later, German Johann Gutenberg invented movable type made of metal in the 15th century.
48. The main idea of this passage is about ____.
A.    the advantages of China’s printing
B.    the history of movable type writing
C.    the development of China’s printing
D.    the spread of China’s printing
49. The underlined word in the third paragraph probably means____.
A. features     B. benefits    C. disadvantages   D. styles
50. According to the passage, which of the following is right in order of time?
① lead type printing  ② copper type printing  ③movable clay type printing  ④ wooden type printing  ⑤block printing    ⑥ stone-tablet rubbing
A. ①⑥③④  B. ⑥⑤③④  C. ④⑥③①   D. ⑥④②⑤

I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.
After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.
I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.  
Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!

Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent（潛流） of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will appear, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from Isaac Newton.
Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is a baby now. That's because the search for a unified theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created after the problem can be solved.
But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon. For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein's day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theorists who could argue with Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare. Education is different, too. One key aspect of Einstein's training that-is little noticed is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager --- Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently about space and time and it wasn't long before he became a philosopher himself.
And Einstein was a clever musician. The interplay between music and math is well-known. Einstein would play his violin hard as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.
Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills. Those who stay in science don’t work alone and they sometimes do experiment together which takes years.
It's hard to imagine a renegade(背叛者) like Einstein standing it. “Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.”
小題1:According to the second paragraph, the next Einstein will ___________.
A．have to create new mathB．create a unified theory
C．have to be born nowD．push math to its limits
小題2: The underlined words “knotty” in the fourth paragraph means ____________.
A．easyB．interestingC．strangeD．difficult
小題3: Which of the following will be useful for the next Einstein to be born?
A．There will be music around.
B．There will be no problems to solve.
C．There will be suitable philosophy to study.
D．There are only a few physicists.
小題4:The bold words “unified theory” in Paragraph 2 refers to ___________.
A．a(chǎn)greementB．mathematical rule
C．unique ideaD．physical saying
