5."Have a nice day!"may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says"Have a nice day"with a smile,I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
"Have a nice day.Next!"This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words come out in the same tone (腔調(diào)) with a fixed procedure.They are spoken at me,not to me.Obviously,the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.
The expression in one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it,you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say."Oh,you just had a tooth out?I'm terribly sorry,but have a nice day."
The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says"Have a nice day!"to you,you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere,meaningless social custom at times,there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl,the waitress,the teacher,and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way,it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere,it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

33.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?D
A.The salesgirl is impolite.
B.The salesgirl is angry.
C.The salesgirl cares about the author.
D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
34.By saying 44 Have a nice day!",a stranger mayA.
A.try to be polite to you                                                       
B.express thanks to you
C.give his blessing to you                                              
D.share his happiness with you
35.What is the best title of the passage?D
A.Have a Nice Day-a Polite Ending of a Conversation
B.Have a Nice Day-a Pleasant Gesture
C.Have a Nice Day-a Heart-warming Greeting
D.Have a Nice Day-a Social Custom.

4.Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (預(yù)測) in reaction to climate change,which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.
Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world,changing some living patterns,scientists say.
Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen,while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.
"Predicting species,reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,"said the researchers of several U.S.universities.They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.
The study,published on the Nature website,uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species.It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.
"Across all species,the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance-for both leafing and flowering-that results from temperature increase,"the study said.
The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change,it said.
Plants are necessary for life on the Earth.They are the base of the food chain,using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water.They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.
Scientists believe the world's average temperature has risen by about 0.8℃since 1900,and nearly 0.2℃every ten years since 1979.
So far,efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃this century-a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common,leading to drought,floods,crop failures and rising sea levels.

29.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?B
A.Plants'reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems.
B.The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists'expectation.
C.Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.
D.Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.
30.We can learn from the study published on the Nature website thatC.
A.plants'flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafing
B.there are 1,634 plant species on the four continents
C.scientists should improve the design of the experiments
D.the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change
31.Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants becauseB.
A.they can prove the climate change clearly
B.they are very important in the food chains
C.they play a leading role in reducing global warming
D.they are growing and flowering much faster than before
32.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world's temperature?A
A.It needs to be controlled within 2℃in this century.
B.Its change will lead to weather extremes.
C.It is 0.8℃higher in 1979 than that of 1900.
D.It has risen nearly 0.2℃since 1979.

2.Whenever we see a button,we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases,for example,on a doorbell.But some buttons are actually fake (假的),like the"close"button on a lift.
Many people are in the habit of pressing the"close"button because they don't have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut.But lifts'"close"buttons are a complete trick,at least in the US-the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US,making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter.Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.
But to normal lift riders,the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists,fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.
"A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases well-being,"said Ellen J.Langer,a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.
For example,pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names either.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster,but that was before computer controlled traffic signals were introduced.
But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little"white lies'',they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close,it is considered to be worth the effort.

25.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A
A.To analyze the functions of fake buttons.
B.To describe different fake buttons.
C.To explore various habits of pushing buttons.
D.To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.
26.What can we learn about the"close"buttons on a lift in America?D
A.They work when people press them hard.
B.They were designed for a sense of control.
C.They never speed up the door-closing process.
D.They take the safety of the disabled into account.
27.What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?A
A.They can make people feel better.
B.They help computers work faster.
C.They can control the traffic signals.
D.They help pedestrians cross safely.
28.Which may be the best title for the passage?C
A.Buttons in the USA
B.Buttons Always Lie
C.Buttons May not Work
D."Close"Buttons on Lifts'

19.With freezing temperatures on the way,now it is the time to take steps to protect your four-legged family members from the cold,wet weather San Antonio winters often bring.With a few simple measures,you can ensure your pets stay happy and healthy throughout winter.
What is the best way to protect your pets during freezing cold weather?Bring them inside.Pets (especially cats) are safer indoors.Can't have your pets inside the house?Purchase a dog house or give your pet a safe,warm place to rest.
Certain pets are more vulnerable (易受傷害的) to cold temperatures than others.Short-haired dogs,very young or old dogs and all cats should not be left outside during winter months.Short-haired dogs may benefit from a sweater while outside.

First,we took a train out to a Small town near Tarragona,about an hour away from Barcelona centre.I was already amazed by how different everything looked from the city as the train rushed through small towns,all sitting on the coastline.
When we arrived,we were greeted by the sight of a small wind instrument band and about a dozen people dancing in a circle.While my friend later told me that it is a traditional Catalan dance called La Sardana,at the time I was totally confused at what I was seeing!It seemed so strange but yet so lovely that they were doing this dance completely for themselves.
Once we had been fully entertained by the dancers,we finally went inside for the Calatada and it was soon revealed to me what it actually was.We sat down at the table and a huge plate of leeks (大蔥) was placed in front of us.It was explained to us that you have to peel the leeks with your fingers,dip them in a (delicious!) sauce and eat them.This sounds easier than it was.
My friend had been right in the end,it had been an extremely fun day and it felt great to get involved in a local tradition of a place I am temporarily calling home.It really inspired me to learn more about the Catalan culture,although hopefully next time it will be something less messy!
