Many of us already know about several American superstitions（迷信）. Having a black cat cross your path, walking under a ladder, and breaking a mirror are all bad luck. In addition, there are many other superstitions that are worth knowing. Understanding them will keep you safe from evil spirits —if you believe in such things —and impress your American friends when you mention them.

Like the superstitions in other cultures, American superstitions often involve the things important in daily life, such as health, numbers, and marriage. For example, have you ever had a cough that would not go away? According to one American superstition, you should take a piece of your hair and put it between two slices of buttered bread. Next, feed this hair sandwich to a dog and say, “Eat well, you hound, may you be sick and I be sound.” This will trick the evil spirits and help your cough. It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it.

In American superstitions, the number three is very important. Often, Americas will say, “All things come in threes.” Three is lucky because it represents the traditional family: mother, father, and child. Therefore, gifts, letters, and guests will often arrive at your home in groups of three. However, it is also possible for bad events, like accidents and funerals, to come in threes as well.

Another time people pay attention to superstitions is when they get married. During a wedding, brides must wear or carry “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue”. The old and borrowed things will bring luck to the person who gives them to the bride. The new and blue things will bring good fortune to the bride herself. The next time someone you know is getting married, be sure to recite this phrase.

As it would be unlucky to discuss one more superstition, we will wind things up here. Keep your fingers crossed, and stay lucky!

The passage is most probably entitled        .

    A. American’s Bad Luck                 B. Cross-culture and Superstitions

    C. American Superstitions               D. Daily Life in Superstitions

    B. you will make people surprised when you try this trick

    C. only if you raise your eyebrows can the trick work

    D. you will believe in the trick after you try it

Nothing says love like a dozen long – stemmed roses on Valentine’s Day. More than a million roses will be sold during this festival for lovers, the biggest day of the year for the nation’s rose industry. It’s going to remain the most popular flower because love never goes out of style.

Yes, a rose is a rose is a rose. But selling them is no longer a beautiful experience for traditional flower shops. Supermarkets now offer convenience to the busy and discount rose shops help those hopelessly in love save money. Roses only is a good example of a discount rose retailer that was transformed from a traditional shop to answer the challenge in the’ 90s.

Inside this store on Sixth Avenue near 40 th Street, contemporary white furniture and wall – to – wall mirrors give it an expensive look. Customers move about freely among the counters, looking eagerly at the roses in more than 50 colors from shelf to shelf. Some customers say it’s the high quality of the roses that attracts them there. “I spent $ 20 but the flowers looked like I paid 60 or 70 dollars,” says one customer.

Studies show more people are buying roses in ones, two and threes these days. In fact, more than half of all roses are sold in bunches of fewer than a dozen. But Roses Only's low prices encourage people to spend. Even on Valentine's Day, when the price of a dozen roses and delivery can soar as high as $150, 12 of Roses Only's most expensive flowers sell for just $35. The company's key to success is to hold prices down by controlling every link in the rose chain. It grows its own roses in the sunshine of the Andes Mountains. In addition, the company also sells other items such as ballons and stuffed animals.    

       While discount rose retailers are witnessing their business bloom, U.S. rose growers aren’t able to compete with the fierce foreign competition. More than 57% of roses sold in the USA are grown in other countries. The biggest foreign producers are Colombia and Ecuador, which accounted for almost 90% of the total imported last year. The trend has hurt domestic rose growers such as Johnson Flowers of California, considered to be this country's leading producer.

Now, instead of fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. "We have a few big fighting overseas rivals, the Johnsons are trying to work with them. “We may also widen our business to include the service area and be a representative for overseas flower producers.”

       As a result of severe competition, those in the rose business long for the good old days, whereas ordinary people benefit from the low price.

60．What is the central theme of this text?

A．The US rose business is going from bad to worse in spite of the efforts made.

B．The rose will remain the most popular flower as love never goes out of date.

C．The rose business is trying to meet the challenges in the market to succeed.

D．The rose industry plays an important role in American economy.

61．How does Roses Only obtain success in the discount rose retailing field?

       A．By setting up more chain stores across the country.

B．By selling roses in supermarkets.

C．By selling high quality roses at a low price.

D．By selling roses by the dozen.

      You will spend hours at the gym training your body,
but do you ever think about training your brain? Here are four ways to keep
your brain mentally (腦力上地) active and healthy. 
      


      Play games
      


      Your brain is a muscle just like the ones in the rest
of your body. If you don’t use it, you will lose it. For example, doing a
crossword puzzle (縱橫填字游戲) once a day is a good way to give the
brain the exercise it needs. This kind of puzzle is good at training different
areas of the brain. But remember that when doing this puzzle, you should
gradually increase the complexity (復(fù)雜度);
otherwise, it will become repetitive (重復(fù)乏味的) and
stop being mentally challenging.
      


      Talk aloud
      


      Although it might sound strange to you, talking aloud
is a great way to boost your memory. A good exercise to try is counting
to 99 in threes as fast as you can. 
      


      Be a team leader
      


      If you find you can do your work very easily, you
should find a new task. It is important that your job should be mentally
challenging. Complex jobs are often more challenging and make the brain work a
little harder.
      


      Learn a language
      


      A study found that, compared with those who could
speak only one language, the people who could speak two languages had a slower
rate of cognitive (認(rèn)知能力) decrease. Learning a new language is very
challenging and it makes sure that different areas of the brain have their
lights on. 
      


      1.What is the main idea of this passage?
      


      A．Why you
should train your brain.
      


      B．How to be a
good team leader.
      


      C．Training the
brain is more important than training the body.
      


      D．How to make
your brain healthy and work actively.
      


      2.Which word can replace the word "boost" in
the third paragraph?
      


      A．Change.           B．Promote.          C．Decrease.         D．Lose.
      


      3.We should gradually increase the complexity when
doing crossword puzzles because ______.
      


      A．if we don’t use our brain, we will lose it
      


      B．we should
make our brain face different challenges
      


      C．our brain is
a muscle like other parts in our bodies
      


      D．these puzzles
can work on different areas of the brain
      


      4.Which group of people have a slower rate of
cognitive decrease?
      


      A．Those who don’t often do crossword puzzles.
      


      B．Those who don’t often count to 99 in threes.
      


      C．Those who do
their work very easily.
      


      D．Those who can
speak more than one language.
