a. he asked the writer to pass his kindness on b. he asked the writer to be careful c. he asked the writer to repay his kindness d. he asked the writer to be honest22. what can we learn from the mans action? a. where there is a will, theres a way b. a friend in need is a friend indeed c. help others, but not ask for anything d. good is rewarded with good23. which of the following can best describe the man who picked up the writers wallet? a. loyal b. noble c. honest d. promisingbdo you drink water thats been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? have you noticed it tastes different?tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire(获得) off taste. many people think that this is because of microorganisms. but thats not what makes old water taste not fresh. for that we can thank carbon dioxide. after about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its ph and giving it an off taste. but its most likely safe to drink.however, back to those microorganisms. if you use a dirty glass day after day, there is more of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share the glass with another mouth as well. but assuming(假设) you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably wont have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.as for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottle, warns dr. kellogg schwab, director of the johns hopkins university water institute. a chemical called bisphenol-a, or bpa, along with other things used to make plastic can leach(过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun, he explains. bpa, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease to cancer. schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isnt meant to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle. or dont buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.24. tap water begin to acquire an off taste because of_ .a. carbon dioxide b. bpac. the glass d. the microorganism25. according to paragragh 2, tap water thats been left sitting out for 12 hours_.a. contains few microorganisms b. tastes better c. is still safe to drink d. is most likely undrinkable26. what should we do with plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car? a. refill them with fresh water b. clean them and use them again.c. use them after they cool down. . d. throw them away.27. which of the following is true about bpa?a. it is safe for people to use. b. it is a kind of new material.c. it can cause great harm to people. d. it is the main material to make plastic.cit is widely known that any english conversation begins with the weather. such a fixation with the weather finds expression in dr. johnsons famous comment that “when two english meet, their first talk is of weather.” though johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this english weather-speak.bill bryson, for example, concludes that, as the english weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. he argues that” to an outsider, the most striking thing about the english weather is that there is not very much of it.” simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the british isles.jeremy paxman, however, disagrees with bryson, arguing that the english weather is by nature attractive. bryson is wrong, he says, “because the english preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象).” the interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” according to him, the weather in england is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the english as well as the outsider.bryson and paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the english. both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. the english weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. english weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, in other words, english weather-speak is a means of social bonding.28. the author mentions dr. johnsons comment to show that_. a. most commentators agree with dr. johnson b. english conversations usually start with the weather c. the comment was accurate two hundred years ago d. dr. johnson is famous for his weather observation29. what does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to? a. a social trend. b. an unknown phenomenon. c.a historical concept. d. an emotional state.30. according to the passage, jeremy paxman believes that_. a. bill bryson has little knowledge of the weather b. there is nothing special about the english weatherc. english people talk about the weather for its uncertainty d. the english weather attracts people to the british isles31. what is the authors main purpose of writing the passage? a. to explain what english weather-speak is about. b. to analyze misconceptions about the english weather. c. to find fault with both bill bryson and jeremy paxman. d. to convince people that the english weather is changeable.dsummer surfing usa15-day tour for beach loversvisit these beautiful southern california surfing beachesel capitan in santa barbara, surf riders in malibu, the wedge at newport beach, doheny at dana point. accommodations (住宿): single or double rooms in beachfront hotelsprice includes: daily surfboard use, 3-hour beginners classnightlife activities: beach meals, club dancing, moonlight tripsadditional activities: visit universal studios and disneylandtour beverly hills and see the movie stars homes tour cost: single room at $1,999double room at $2,300hazels personal servicesdo you ever have questions like these ?where can i get my hair cut for a reasonable price?
