Acmodation(住宿)：You can have a room in a 4- bedroom fiat, which will cost about$100 a month with other regular living costs of about$150 a month for one person. For further information：acc waikatoacnz可知答案为B。$5000(学费)+$100(住宿费)x12(months)+$150(生活费)x12=$8000BSports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant(保证；授权) time in front of the television have been invented in the UK.The shoes named Square Eyes contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny puter chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter(传话器) passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the days efforts.The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University in London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I wanted to deal with that with my design.”Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the remended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals exactly one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers(计步器) normally clip(夹在) onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”4. According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to _.A. keep a record of the steps of the wearerB. deal with overweight among teenagersC. enable children to resist the temptation of TVD. prevent children from being tricked by TV programs5. Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?A. They regulate a childs evening TV viewing time.B. They determine a childs daily pocket money.C. They have raised the hot issue of overweight.D. They contain information of the receiver.6. What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?A. The exact number of steps to be taken.B. The accurate number of hours spent on TV.C. The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.D. The way of changing steps into TV watching time.7. pared with other similar products, the new design _.A. sends teenagers health data to the receiverB. counts the wearers steps through shaking.C. records the sudden movement of the wearerD. makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一款智能运动鞋，利用孩子们每天的所走的步数来决定孩子看电视的时间，起到控制体重的作用。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,she says, And I want to tackle that with my design .”可以推断出这个设计是为了解决孩子超重的问题。故B项正确。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.”可知这种鞋子利用走路的步数来控制孩子看电视的时间。故A项正确。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Health experts suggest that a child take 12 000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television.”可以推断出健康专家给出了每天合适的运动量和看电视时间。故C项正确。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat.”可以推断出类似产品可以用晃动鞋子作弊，但是她设计的鞋使得懒惰的青少年也很难作弊。故D项正确。CI went online to check if my pay was in my bank account. To my amazement, I discovered that not only had I been paid, a pany Id never worked for had also paid me! I knew Id have been beside myself if my own salary was not in my account, so I tried to get the money back to the right person. It is easier said than done.The bank couldnt help as it wasnt a bank problem. The human-resource department as the pany that paid me was unable to help as I didnt have enough details.

Thankfully I had sympathetic call operator who gave me a name, so I again rang the pany “Daniel” worked for.I expected the bank would contact me to arrange to take the money from my account and repay Daniel. I heard nothing for a month and the money remained in my account when Daniel called, explaining hed tried to get back his money but had been unsuccessful as neither the bank nor his pany felt it was their error. He had rung to ask if I could speak to the bank, but after chatting for a few minutes we realized we could probably fix this problem ourselves.We decided I would take the money from my account and he would pick it up from me. Due to my busy job I was unable to meet Daniel personally but he left me a lovely bottle of wine in exchange for what was rightfully his. I never had any intention of keeping Daniels pay, but red tape（繁琐手续）made it difficult to do the right thing.

Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a mon manner to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am, laughing hard while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor, we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness and bring a little light into our lives.Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.12.

There are many influences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are mon. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears. _16_The most mon reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment. _17_ Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.PRAISE: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific: _18_ and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions (互动) like this a day. If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie, say something like, “That is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home.”MODEL: Explicitly tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING: They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want._19_ Rather, use very mild punishment (light scolding, short loss of privilege, a brief time-out). More severe punishments (shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying._20_ Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be pletely removed, but with the right encouragement, k can be dramatically lessened.A. It is not what that is, but about practice.B. As ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.C. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go.D. “That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!”E. Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.F. “You did a good job, but what you said was not what Id like to know!”G. Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can bee a problem.【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. C 20. E【解析】本文是一篇议论文。让你的孩子停止撒谎是具有挑战性的，孩子的撒谎有很多原因，不应该一味惩罚孩子。本文介绍了由研究支持的三个更好的解决方法。【16题详解】根据上文提示Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears.（大多数父母都是用关于圣诞老人或牙仙的生活和活动的故事来补充的，或者是减轻恐惧。）承接上文，G项Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can bee a problem.（父母这样做是出于爱，但对一些孩子来说，撒谎会成为一个问题。）切题。G项中的Parents do this与上文中的Most parents add to that吻合。【17题详解】根据上文提示The most mon reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment.（对说谎的孩子最常见的反应是解释为什么它是错误的和受惩罚的。），再根据下文Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.（这里有三个更好的得到研究支持的工具使用），故B项As ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.（作为改变行为的方式，这些都是无效的。）指出上文那些解释都是无效的，下面有更好的方式。【18题详解】根据上文提示When your child obeys, praise him
