I had figured that the job would be easy. However, the actual situation was not what I had expected. The customers were hard to please. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough skimmed milk. However, I kept at it.One rainy day, Hank, one of my regular customers, came in looking sad and defeated. I asked what the problem was and if we could help, but Hank wouldnt tell me any details. He just said he felt like going to bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.Before he left, I handed him a bag of his favorite type of doughnuts along with his iced coffee. He looked at me skeptically because he hadnt ordered anything else except iced coffee.“Its on me,” I told him. “Have a nice day.”He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back out into the rain.The next day was a horrible one. The rain kept pouring down and I spent my afternoon hanging out the window, handing people their orders. Whats worse, no one felt like tipping that day.However, around 7:00 pm, Hank drove up to the window. Instead of ordering anything, he handed me a single pink rose and a little note. He said that few people take the time to care about others nowadays and he was glad there were still people like me in the world. I was speechless and very touched; I hadnt thought that I had done anything incredible.The note read:Christine,Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday. I was sincerely touched by you. It is so nice to meet someone thats nice, warm, sensitive and unselfish. Please dont change your ways because I truly believe that you will excel. Have a great day!HankLater, I did come across more complaining customers. But anytime I felt sad or just sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness.

Coffee Shop KindnessBTaking a bottle of water into the exam hall could help students improve their grades, researchers claim.A study of university students found that those who brought drinks, especially water, with them as they sat their exams performed up to 10 percent better than those who did not.Psychologists said it was unclear why drinking water would improve your performance but said that being better hydrated (与水结合的) could have a helpful impact on the brain, and knowing you had a bottle with you might make you feel more reassured.The researchers studied hundreds of university students in their first and second years of degree courses and at pre-degree foundation level and observed what drinks, if any, they brought into exam halls with them.Their study, presented at the British Psychological Society annual conference in London on Wednesday, found that those who brought drinks in with them averaged five percent better in exams.The students coursework and predicted grades were considered in the calculations to ensure it was not simply the case that more intelligent students were more likely to bring drinks with them.For students at foundation level, grades improved by 10 per cent while there was no significant benefit for those at second year level.Mark Gardner of Westminster University, one of the collaborating researchers, said: If it turns out to be that the effect is indeed larger for younger students we think it could be important those students could be more anxious and the water is having an effect on exam anxiety, perhaps through beliefs about the positive effects of water.Or it could be that the younger students might not eat as healthily, have possibly been out late the night before, and might need to drink more water to stop them being dehydrated (脱水).31. Where was the result of the study released? A. At a conference. B. In a newspaper. C. In a TV program. D. In a magazine.32. Why were the students coursework and predicted grades considered in the calculations? A. Because the researchers wanted to ensure the study was more scientific. B. Because more intelligent students were more likely to bring drinks.C. Because less intelligent students never brought drinks to exam halls. D. Because students coursework and predicted grades were more important.33. To what degree can drinks help younger students improve their grades? A. Less than 5%. B. 10%. C. Over 10%. D. 5%.34. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Being better hydrated can have a helpful impact on the brain of any one of us. B. Knowing they have water with them may make students feel more confident. C. Perhaps the positive effect of water is that it can have an effect on exam anxiety. D. Psychologists now know why drinking water can improve students performance.35. The passage mainly tells us _. A. being dehydrated is one of the serious problems students might have at school. B. water works better than other drinks in helping improve students performance. C. what younger students usually do before they go to their examination rooms. D. taking some water into the exam hall can help students improve their grades.CSomeday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the websites youve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, its likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a policeman or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen - the 21st century replacement of being caught naked (裸露的).Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though its important to reveal(透露) yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. Actually few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think, like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is noWhen opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is slipping away, and that bothers me.But people say one thing and do another.Only a small part of Americans change anybehaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track (跟踪) automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will submit personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券)But privacy does matter - at least sometimes. Its like health: when you have it, you dont notice it. Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.36. What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century replacement of being caught naked”? A. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology. B. In the 21sth century people try every means to look into others secrets. C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age. D. Peoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.37. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A. There should be a distance even between friends.B. There should be fewer quarrels between friends.C. Friends should always be faithful to each other.D. Friends should open their hearts to each other.38. Why does the author say we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret?A. There are always people who are curious about others affairs.B. Many search engines profit by revealing peoples identities.C. People leave traces around when using modern technology.D. Modern society has finally developed into an open society.39. What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it. C. They rely more and more on electronic equipment. D. They use various loyalty cards for business deals.40. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that_.A. its importance is rarely understoodB. it is something that can easily be lostC. people dont treasure it until they lose itD. people will make every effort to keep itDIf you dont want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret, according to a British market research document released last week.Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nations people by fridge contents.They say those people can be separated into five categories：nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddiest (whatevers in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.A fridge full of vitamins enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddiest, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life.Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop. The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard, also, someone who is not into long term planning.Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.41. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. Some researchers are fond of staring at other peoples fridges.B. People dont want others to know about their secrets.C. There are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people.D. The food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality.42. According to the passage, people who belong to food faddiest_.A. prefer to ask others about what to do nextB. will try their best to stay healthyC. of ten stay up late to finish their job D. dont care much about money when buying things43. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. “Fast food fanatics” usually do not stock their fridges with fresh fruit.B. “Food faddists” like to stock their fridges with all kinds of vitamins.C. “Martyr mums” care themselves more than others.D. “Nutrition nerds” are always organized and successful in their jobs.44. What will those who often dine out put in the fridge? A. All kinds of food they like. B. Fruit, vegetables and meat.C. Only something to drink. D. Food rich in vitamins.45. What is this passage mainly about?A. What people store in their fridges. B. Fridge contents and its owners secret.C. What we should store in our fridges. D. How to keep our fridge contents secret.第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答案填涂在答题卡标号为5660的相应位置上。下面是各留学国家的资讯及其学位申请者的信息，请阅读下列资讯和申请人的信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读以下留学国家的信息：New friends.
