Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasnt moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, hes an old guy!For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “Hows it going?” But he did something different-he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you dont give any thought to the question and just mumble含糊 something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!”But that wasnt the end.He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.”The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling. Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name. Marty. I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.21. According to the writer, when mon people ask you “Hows it going?” .A. they dont really care what you may answer B. they are just practicing their conversation abilityC. they are inquiring about your private informationD. they dont expect to hear any negative answers22. What was most customers reaction to Martys behaviors?A. They thought it worthless. B. They were in some way moved.C. They thought it awful and odd.D. They felt somewhat offended.23. What does the writer intend to express through the text?A. Our everyday life is always full of surprises.B. Most customers enjoy being treated this way.C. Being different is a good way of doing business.D. A little positive action can make a big difference. BJumping across citiesForget about expensive gyms; the new sport in cities is free-running. Since it started in a Paris suburb around 1995, free-running has attracted lots of fans in cities around the world. Instead of walking normally, free-runners jump over or around anything cars, buildings, trees, or streetlights in their way.One of the sports inventors told our reporter how free-running started.It was boring where we lived. There was nothing for us to do after school. We had done playground games like football and basketball when we were kids but we wanted something new and exciting. We started learning how to jump and run between buildings and we loved it. Walking is a waste of time. Free-runners have to use their imaginations. Everything a tree, a streetlight is part of our outdoor gym. We are like children because we have never stopped playing in the street. The sports website has lots of rules, for example, dont break peoples windows, dont jump on flowerbeds and dont be rude to people who want you to stop. Safety is also very important. You must start with the easy moves you have to do thousands of small practice jumps before you try anything difficult. If you made only one mistake, you might hurt yourself badly.A local person said, “Its good that young people have something to do. But when they jump off buildings like cats, they sometimes frighten other people.”Dont try this at home: the basics of free-runningBlind Jump: a jump where you cant see the landing spot.Tic-tac: run and put your foot on a small step, go forward and jump over the next thing.Basic Jump: run and jump, land on two feet while bending your knees. To finish roll into head-over-heels.Cat Jump: run towards a wall, put both hands on the top of the wall and jump through your arms.24. Free-running started _.A. about twenty years ago B. with the help of schoolsC. in big cities of America D. among famous sportsmen25. Free-runners shouldnt _.A. use their imaginations B. start with the easy movesC. jump on flowerbeds D. run between buildings26. According to the passage, free-running is a(n)_sport.A. ancient B. expensive C. safe D. exciting27. The purpose of this passage is to _.A. explain the importance of outdoor activitiesB. introduce some information about free-runningC. warn children not to join in dangerous sportsD. advise people to do more exercise at home first CShopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf. Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver. When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white packageblue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm. The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesnt contain as much as it appears to. It is believed that the better-known panies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging! The most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”28. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text? A. The cost of its package.B. The price of the product. C. The color of its package.D. The brand name of the product.29. The underlined part “the colors turned the customers off” (in Para.3) means that the colors- A. attracted the customers stronglyB. caused the customers to lose interest C. tricked the customers into shoppingD. had weak effects on the customers30. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales? A. The way to promote goods. B. The discovery of a genius. C. The team to produce a good product.D. The brand name used by successful producers.31. Which of the following would be the best title for this text? A. Choice of Good ProductsB. Disadvantages of Products C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks DWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal. After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym. In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% and is growing.32. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently. B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.33. This text is mainly the relationship between _.A. Americans and the French B. life style and obesityC. children and adults D. fast food and overweight34. The text is mainly developed _.A. by contrast B. by space C. by time D. by importance35. Where does this text probably e from?A. A TV interview B. A food advertisement C. A health report D.
