The question is “How are you?”.The answer Americans give, of course is, “Fine.” But when Russians hear this ,they think one of two things: you are experiencing a rare moment of fineness or you are lying.If you ask a Russian “How are you?” , you will hear the truth. I have experienced many painful minutes of silence after my grandmother made her answer: “Terrible,” to which she might add, “Why? Because being old is terrible and I am very old.”“Fine makes Russians think that Americans are telling a lie,” I explained recently to an American-born friend,“That they just want to go home, eat a frozen dinner in front of the TV, and wait out the hours before going to work to make money again.”The thing most Russians dont realize is that, in English, “How are you?” isnt a question at all, but a form of “hi”, like the Russian “privyet!” So guide books for Americans who are traveling to Russia had better tell them not to greet Russians by using American approach “How are you?” because it will confuse and upset Russians. “Why ? Does my face indicate illness?” is what they have in mind when meeting this question. 21. When you ask a Russian “how are you” the Russian will _. A. answer “fine” B. tell you the truth C. make no answer D. get angry and walk away22. If an American answers “fine” to the question “how are you”, the Russian will think _. A. he is not honest B. he will go home C. he likes watching TV D. he is living a bad life23. We can infer Russians answer to “how are you” can make Americans feel _. A. happy B. angry C. puzzled D. touchedBWicked! Notice the intonation(语调). It means “wonderful”, “great”, “cool”, “splendid”. It came into English from United States slang(俚语) in the 1980s or maybe earlier. Certainly it arrived in Britain in the late 1980s. It was part of a trend(趋势) which goes back decades to use bad words to mean good things, or some good words to mean bad things. I mean you might remember saying, “ Thats great” meaning “ It isnt great”. And always theres been this use of the word “naughty” to mean “nice”. Its mainly used as an adjective in front of a noun, for example “ We had a wicked time!” Or, of course, you can use it alone by just saying “ Wicked!” as a reaction thats how youngsters use it. And youngsters, of course, knowing that grown-ups are now using it as well, have decided to use other bad words in the same sort of way Ive heard young people in recent years use words like “ evil” meaning “good”, or “brutal” meaning “good”. “Wicked” is still around. This means, of course, that the traditional sense of “wicked” is now being squeezed（挤） out. So with wicked, intonation(语调) is the only way to tell the old meaning from the new meaning, so you have to be careful, and pay very careful attention to the context. And please pay attention that the use of the word is spreading . The other day, for the first time, I heard somebody say “wicked cool”, meaning “very cool”.24. What does the text mainly tell readers?A. The changing meaning of English words.B. The change of the word ”wicked” in meaning.C. The way to use English words.D. English words from American slang.25. The author tells readers to pay attention to the intonation of the word “wicked” because_.A. the word is easy to misunderstandB. there is another word with the same pronunciationC. its intonation decides its meaningD. there are many meanings of the word26. According to the text, which of the following words is often used to express its opposite meaning? A. Cool. B. Wonderful. C. Splendid. D. Evil.27. According to the text, we know that the word “wicked”_.A. has been used in Britain for more than 20 yearsB. is only used in front of a nounC. has lost its old meaningD. was first used by American childrenCWhen talking about colds, maybe some people say it is very mon. During the cold winter days, many people will plain the cold winter makes them catch a cold, and what they feel upset are not only the headache, cough but also the runny nose. It is so embarrassing when they forget to take a handkerchief along with them. Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face. pared（与.比较） to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. Its possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University. “It seems that positive(积极的) feelings may reduce (减少)the danger of illness,” said the studys chief researcher Sheldon Cohen. In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill. In this study, Cohen has interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time. Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness . So if you are worried about your health, look on the brighter side more often. 28. The underline part in Paragraph 5 is probably means _. A. sad B. not positive C. thoughtful D. outgoing 29. What did the study find? A. People who felt happy never got ill.B. Peoples feelings didnt influence their health.C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.D. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses.30. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness?A. Eating. B. Laughing C . Crying D. Sleeping.31. What is the best title for this passage? _A. Smiles can fight colds B. Cause of colds foundC. The danger of colds D. How people get sickDI had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people make a bad situation worse by blaming(责备) themselves. One January, I officiated（主持）at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased（已故）woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. Its my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I hadnt insisted on her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. Its my fault.” When things dont turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume（假设）that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty(内疚). Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping Mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sensethere is a reason for everything that happens. The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby es to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone es to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not pletely give up that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.32. What is true about the two deceased elderly women? AThey both died of old age. BThey died from hard work. CThey werent used to the change in life.DThey died due to the fact that family members didnt care about them.33. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _. Athey cannot find a better way to express their sadness Bthey believe that they are responsible for what has happened Cthey dont know the natural course of events Dthey dont know things often turn out in the opposite direction34. The underlined part“the world makes sense”in Paragraph 3 probably means that _. Aeverything in the world is planned in advance Bthe world can be understood in different ways Ctheres an explanation for everything in the world Dwe have to be wise in order to understand the world35. People have believed since early childhood that _. Aeverybody is at their mand Blife and death is an unsolved mystery Cevery story should have a happy ending Dtheir wishes are the cause of everything that happens 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Create a Fitness Challenge with Your FamilySet a goal（目标）.
