You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.
“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (禮儀) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “Elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward (尷尬的) places.”
We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.
He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.
If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (對(duì)角線地) across from each other to create distance.
When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle(三角形). And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.
New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act according to their decisions. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.
Why are we so awkward in lifts?
“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people, we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”
In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact(接觸) ,” she said.
小題1:According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.
A.turn around and greet one another
B.look around or examine their phone
C.try to keep a distance from other people
D.make eye contact with those in the elevator
小題2:Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator? (The point in the chart refers to one person.)

小題3:The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.
A.ignoreB.judgeC.put up withD.make the best of
小題4:According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.
A.the lack of space
B.someone’s odd behaviors
C.their unfamiliarity with one another
D.their eye contact with one another

It is a wonderful morning,as I write this:hot,but without being too hot. Outside my window,I can see the sunniest sky of the year reflected in a huge natural expand of water. It is the kind of sun that makes you well aware of summer’s temporary nature —a reminder that if I am ever to go around to book this year's holiday,time is running out .
It is now close to four years since I last took a holiday. This is because I have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I am not very good at it. You might say this sounds like saying you are not very good at drinking tea or listening to music.  What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks and going somewhere to do nothing?
So what is my problem? On the surface, I'm probably a bit of homebody. And I just find the pressure of being on holidy too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun. Somehow, packing a carefully itemized list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement of suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving somewhere for the fun of it.
Thankfully, I am not alone. This summer, most of my friends have decided not to have a break. And a recent survey highlighted the downside(負(fù)面)of holidays, with the results shoeing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levels returned to normal. And this year's the Idler magazine published its book of awful holidays .Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically--damaging vacations it's possible to take, along with 50 horrible holidays experiences voted for on the idler website. Over the last decade, The Idler has become well known for promoting the idea of an easy, lazy life. The leisure(休閑)industry might seem an unlikely target of its criticism, but Dan Kienan, the book's editor, says that he was flooded with entries from readers for his list of awful holidays.
小題1:According to the first paragraph We can know that the writer        .
A. has a strong desire to book a holiday
B. wishes that the weather would change
C. finds it is too late to enjoy the sunshine
D. realizes it’s time to decide whether to go on a holiday
小題2:What can be inferred from the sentence underlined in the passage?
A. people may find the man unbelievable
B. People think traveling is not so easy an act as drinking tea
C.The writer often regrets not taking a holiday.
D. The writer doesn't like drinking tea or listening to music
小題3:The reason why the writer dislikes going on holidays is that      .
A. it usually takes too much time
B. he is tired of making preparations too much for holidays
C. it is far less enjoyable than breaks planned in advance
D. he feels embarrassed when other people are having fun but he isn't
小題4:We can learn from the survey that a lot of people         .
A. pretend to enjoy their holiday
B. fail to relax while they are on holiday
C. feel that the benefits of going on holidays are limited
D. have made the some decision as the writer and most of his friends
小題5:The writer takes the book of Awful Holidays as an example to             .
A. damage the reputation of the magazine
B.prove his idea to be more popular than expected
C. indicate that his dislike of holidays is widely shared
D. foucs entirely on bad personal experiences of holidays

At first sight, you would think the collection of hundreds of colored shards(碎片)could be a work of abstract art. But the objects are the contents of the stomach of a sea turtle that lost its battle with plastic pollution.
Environmentalists examined the stomach of the turtle found off the coast of Argentina. What they found is the symptom of the increasing threat to sea turtles from a human addiction to plastic.
Sea turtles often mistake plastic items for jellyfish or other food. Ingesting(攝。﹐cean pollution can cause a digestive blockage and internal cuts. The result can be dangerous, followed by death.
Humans produce 260 million tons of plastic a year. When those products are pulled into the sea’s currents, the plastics are just broken into smaller pieces which are consumed by marine life at the bottom of the food chain. An examination of a green turtle found off Florida discovered that, over the course of a month, the animal’s faeces(糞便)had contained 74 foreign objects, including “four types of balloons, different types of hard plastic, a piece of carpet--like material and two 2--4 mm tar balls.”
“The oceans have become a giant refuse bin for all manner of plastics. All sea turtle species may be seriously harmed, “according to the biologists Colette Wabnitz, from the University of British Columbia. ”The symptom of this growing crisis can be seen inside and on sea turtles as well as their oceanic and terrestrial habitats. It is urgently necessary to directly confront the source of plastic pollution, redesign packaging and rethink the very idea of ‘throwaway culture’.”
Almost all marine species, from plankton to whales, have ingested plastic. But, even in small quantities, plastic can kill sea turtles, the biologists said.
Fifty out of 92 turtles found dead, stranded on the shorelines of Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil, had ingested a “considerable amount of man-made debris”.
小題1:What’s tile passage mainly about?
A.How to prevent the sea turtle from plastic.
B.Why plastic is dangerous to the sea turtle.
C.Protecting the sea turtle from being polluted.
D.Sea turtles suffering from plastic pollution.
小題2:The author mentions the “throwaway culture” probably in a(n) _________ tone.
A.praisingB.positiveC.ironicD.comedic
小題3:The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means _________.
A.a(chǎn) kind of foodB.a(chǎn) kind of fish
C.pieces of clothD.pieces of rubbish
小題4:The paragraph following the last one will probably talk about ________.
A.the way the biologists examined the sea turtle
B.some tips on how to make sea turtles avoid plastic
C.how to prevent plastic pollution
D.the reason why we should protect the sea turtle

I bought a Paul Smith shirt three months ago. For those who don’t know, Paul Smith is an English designer brand.
His shirts cost about 1,000 yuan and upwards. I paid 50 yuan for my colorful shirt from a street vendor in Beijing.
Of course my shirt was a knockoff, a cheap copy of the brand. After a few washes, little balls formed on the surface of the thin material.
Do I care? Not at all. You get what you pay for.
I have to admit I hate shopping. I don’t care enough about spending money on clothes. I have other priorities.
In You Are What You Wear, US writer Jennifer Baumgartner says people’s clothes tell a story about their personality.
She writes: “The clothes you choose to wear provide important information about you as a person: your approximate education level, your income, social status and even your level of self-esteem (自信).” When I started work as an undercover crime reporter, I had to shop for jeans and a hoodie (連帽衫) in order to fit in with a rough and ready (世故的) social group.
I bought the hoodie in a charity shop. My daughters were shocked. They thought I looked bad, but I knew my disguise was perfect.
Elizabeth L. Cline thinks she knows best when it comes to cheap clothes in her book Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion. She expresses sadness that clothing has been turned into a good that is thrown away after being used once or twice.
She looks down her nose at cheap fashion and longs for the good old days when department stores sold quality clothes at high prices.
I don’t agree. At least people now can choose what to wear without breaking the bank.
小題1:The underlined sentence in the article meant that         .
A.I don’t mind spending money on clothes
B.there’s not much point spending money on clothes
C.it is too much trouble to spend money on clothes
D.I never spend money on clothes
小題2:From the text we can infer that the author’s disguise         .
A.immediately won the admiration of his daughters
B.turned out unsuited to his plan
C.proved that clothes can’t show a person’s true personality
D.had something to do with his income
小題3:The author mentions Elizabeth L. Cline’s book to         .
A.express his anger at the poor quality of clothes
B.show his disagreement with her idea
C.show his dislike for how people treat their clothes
D.support her attitude toward spending money on clothes
小題4:Which of the following might be the best title for the story?
A.The variety of clothesB.You are what you wear
C.High cost of cheap fashionD.You get what you pay for

My oldest child, Emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of ______. These days, friends and family have begun _____ me with one question: What is she going to do after _____?
The job market is, after all, awfully ______. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank _____ a study showing that “recent graduates are ______ working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The ______ spot, according to the study, is for students who majored(主修) in STEM— science, technology, engineering and ______— areas in which recent graduates “have______ to do relatively well”.

Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his mood. If he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss’s secretary, there are keys to timing: don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline; don’t go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed; don’t go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
If you’re mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then, maybe he will dismiss you.
Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their boss may soon find they can’t get past the secretary.
To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.
小題1:What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A.Present problems.
B.Propose your solution.
C.Put yourself in the boss’s position.
D.Make the issue clear.
小題2:If you want to ask the boss for anything, it is important to find out first _________.
A.how he is feeling.
B.whether the boss had breakfast.
C.whether he is on deadline.
D.whether he had taken a vacation.
小題3:What is the best title of the passage?
A.How to Propose Your Solution.
B.Never Give in to Your Boss.
C.How to Argue with Your Boss.
D.Learn to Understand Your Boss.
小題4:From the passage, we can infer that_____________.
A.you don’t go into the boss’s office when you are angry
B.you can present the boss with a problem only.
C.when you offer advice to your boss, don’t think of the troubles he may have.
D.when you go into the boss’s office, keep your voice all the time.

Air pollution by sources ranging from cooking fires to auto fumes contributed to an estimated seven million deaths worldwide in 2012, the UN health agency has said.
"Air pollution, and we're talking about both indoors and outdoors, is now the biggest environmental health problem, and it is affecting everyone, both developed and developing countries," said Maria Neira, the World Health Organisation's public and environmental health chief.
Globally, pollution was linked to one death in eight in 2012, new WHO research found.
The biggest pollution-related killers were heart disease, stroke, pulmonary disease and lung cancer.
The hardest-hit regions of the globe were what the WHO labels Southeast Asia, which includes India and Indonesia, and the Western Pacific, ranging from China and South Korea to Japan and the Philippines. Together, they accounted for 5.9 million deaths.
The global death toll included 4.3 million deaths due to indoor air pollution, chiefly caused by cooking over coal, wood and biomass stoves. The toll from outdoor pollution was 3.7 million, with sources ranging from coal heating fires to diesel engines.
Many people are exposed to both indoor and outdoor pollution, the WHO said, and due to that overlap the separate death toll attributed to the two sources cannot simply be added together, hence the figure of seven million deaths. The new figure is "shocking and worrying", Ms Neira told reporters.
When it last released an estimate for deaths related to air pollution, in 2008, the agency had put the figure related to outdoor pollution at 1.3 million, while the number blamed on indoor pollution was 1.9 million. But a change in research methods makes comparison difficult between the 2008 estimate and the 2012 figures, Neira said.
In the past, for example, the WHO did not take into account the overlap between exposure to both forms, and only assessed urban pollution. Satellite imagery has made it easier to assess rural pollution, and new knowledge about the health impact of exposure has enabled a better count. "The risks from air pollution are now far greater than previously thought or understood, particularly for heart disease and strokes," said Neira.  "Few risks have a greater impact on global health today than air pollution. The evidence signals the need for concerted action to clean up the air we all breathe."
According to the WHO, some 2.9 billion people in poor nations live in homes that use fires as their principle method of cooking and heating. Carlos Dora, the WHO's public and environmental health coordinator, said that turned homes into "combustion chambers". Simple measures to stem the impact include so-called "clean cook stoves", which are a low-tech option, as well as improved ventilation, he said.
Countries also need to rethink policies, Mr Dora said, pointing to the impact in the developed world of a shift to cleaner power sources, more efficient management of energy demand, and technical strides in the auto industry. He also said transport policies needed a shake-up. With air pollution having sparked a recent scare in France, leading to restrictions on car use and the temporary scrapping of public transport fees in Paris, Mr Dora said such measures could be applied in the longer term. "You can't buy clean air in a bottle," he said."The air is a shared resource. In order to breathe clean air, we have to have interventions in the areas that pollute air." The WHO said it planned by the end of this year to release a ranking of the world's 1,600 most polluted cities.
小題1:The main idea of this article is that          .
A.In the past, the WHO did not take into account the overlap between exposure to both forms.
B.Air pollution by sources ranging from cooking fires to auto fumes caused an estimated seven million deaths worldwide in 2012.
C.According to the WHO, some 2.9 billion people use fires as their principle method of cooking and heating.

D.Air pollution
小題3:Which of the following is True according to the passage? .
A.The biggest pollution-related killers were heart disease, stroke, pulmonary disease and lung cancer.
B.Air pollution only affects developing countries.
C.The risks from air pollution are now not serious.

小題4:What is main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The air is a our shared resource.
B.The WHO will release a ranking of the world's 1,600 most polluted cities.
C.The government should make effective policies to control the air pollution.
D.The transport policies need a shake-up.

Every year in late April, students at Renmin University of China become the subjects of admiration and jealousy of their peers on other campuses in Beijing. Why? Because they get a week off in the middle of term, the so-called spring break.
It’s been a unique tradition of our school for a decade,” said Wang Yueran, 20, a journalism major at Renmin University, who organized a weeklong trip to Sichuan with 12 classmates last year.
But having fun is just one dimension of the spring break. Field trips, voluntary work, and social projects are all on students’ to-do lists. Experts say the spring break is not just for students to enjoy a few days off, but for them to gain new experiences beyond the campus walls.
Push them out
The traditional Chinese belief of the exploration of knowledge and truth emphasizes “reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles”, which indicates the importance of experience as much as theory. But while Chinese universities have the tradition of spring outings, what’s the benefit of making spring break an institution?
Qin Jianguo, of the student affairs office at Shenzhen University, thinks the idea of the spring break in some universities in China comes from the intention of pushing students out of the ivory tower to experience more diversity in their lives.
“Take traveling for example. A week traveling is a very different experience to a one- or two-day outing,” said Qin. “Students are expected to acquire the spirit of teamwork and compromise, and learn survival and communication skills when put out there in an unfamiliar context.”
Diverse approaches
Many countries have similar vacations in the middle of the semester for students to do things out of their own interest. Taking Japan as an example, instead of partying like their US counterparts, many Japanese students choose to work as interns or engage in study-related projects.
“The spring break is an opportunity for many of our students to put their learning to use,” said Hiroshi Kanno, dean of the Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy at Hitotsubashi University, in the school’s description of a recent spring break project.
As for Chinese students who take a week off around the Labor Day holiday, many tend to do volunteer work. Duan Zhipeng, a 22-year-old economics major at Renmin University, applied for a project to go back to his hometown in Jiangxi province to introduce his university’s enrollment policies and campus culture to local high school students.
Not a trend yet
Apart from Renmin University, only a few other universities, such as Yantai University, have a spring break for their students. The concept in China is still far from the culture and norms built around it in the US.
Wei Xiang, a professor specializing in holiday economics at Beijing International Studies University, said that the spring break is a good experiment for universities to make study schedules smoother in order to give students more options to arrange their own leisure and study activities.
小題1:According to the text, up to now, Apart from Renmin University, which University has a spring break for their students. 
A.Yantai University
B.Peking University
C.Suzhou University
D.Nankai University
小題2:The underlined word “it” refers to ______
A.field tripsB.exploration of knowledge
C.spring breakD.ivory tower
小題3:According to the passage,why do the students in the other universities admire the students at Renmin University?
A.Because they tend to do volunteer work.
B.Because they go home to meet their relatives.
C.Because they get a spring break.
D.Because they have lesser courses .
小題4:Which of the following is the best title?
A.Reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles
B.Spring break expands horizons
C.Enjoy yourselves
D.A weeklong trip
小題5:Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?
A.Spring break can help students to gain new experiences beyond the campus walls.
B.Students are expected to acquire the spirit of teamwork through pring break.
C.Spring break can help students tolearn survival and communication skills when in an unfamiliar context.
D.Spring break is not common in the US.

Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity(生產(chǎn)力) per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.
In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.
Longer hours do of course increase the GDP(國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in its interest. It is too early to explain the different trends(趨勢(shì))in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance?
小題1:Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?
A.Spain.B.France.C.Germany.D.America.
小題2:What message can we get from the text?
A.The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
B.Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
C.People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
D.Americans are happier than Europeans.

A.Americans and Europeans
B.Staying at Home

Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea”- and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm(魅力).
The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer, especially in August and September. As one travels the countryside, you’ll find more of its treasures: so many plants and animals, romantic castles(浪漫的城堡), secret gardens, and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy’ s spell.
Must-sees include Derbyshire, called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park. The great peaks were the muse(創(chuàng)作靈感)of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre, you can visit North Lees hall, where the real Eyre family once lived).
History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson). It is also known for its cathedral(大教堂), the charming tea shops, a small castle. One would never guess its violent past—built by Romans, it was once a center for arrow(箭) making.
Harry Potter fans shouldn’t miss a visit to Alnwick, which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies.
Let’s not leave out the Wessex region, where one can see one of England’s greatest mysteries, Stone Henge.
