faraway village-the chances are that youll be disturbed by jet planes, transistor radios, oil-powered engines, etc. we seem to be getting used to noise, too. some people feel quite lonely without background music while theyre working.scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. however, some people are fond of listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓). the noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.one recent report about noise and concentration(专注). suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. it goes on to say that a background noise which doesnt change too much (music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.21. according to this passage, the noise pollution_. a. has become the worst in the countryside b. has become better in big cities c. has spread from cities to villages d. has been controlled in modern cities22. what does background music refer to?a. music played while people are working. b. music played in the backyard.c. noise that continues while youre listening to other noises.d. music used to help people to concentrate.23. some people have their hearing

the adventures of harry potter. it was a live web chat to mark world book day. and, rowling - who has always insisted she would write only seven potter books- was asked by a fan if she intended to write books about harry after he leaves hogwarts, the academy for wizards (巫师学院) “probably not. but ill never say never. thats because every time i do immediately break the promise. she replied. rowling, whose wealth was recently estimated at us $1 billion, is writing the sixth potter book. in the web chat, she was flooded with 16,000 questions from devoted readers of her wizard sagas ( 英雄传奇) the release in june last year of the fifth book was billed as the worlds biggest book launch. asked what would happen if fiction( 幻想) became fact. rowling said, “ i think id most like to spend a day with harry. id take him out for a meal and apologize for everything i put him through.” then she jokingly warned that even tougher times faced potter, “ in book six, the wizarding world is really at war again. and he has to make himself useful.” “if i was harry potter, i would hide because i know what is coming”. she said.24. from the passage we can know that j.k.rowling_.a. has finished writing all the books harry potter.b. is considering stopping writing more than harry potter.c. is still writing books about harry potterd. has no idea about whether to go on writing or not.25. where does

mistake in her writing. cinformal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos(禁忌) in a particular culture. latin americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. they expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. you may feel free to ask similar questions of your latin american friends. the french think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. for them, arguments can be interesting and they can cover pretty much or any topic as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent(智慧的) manner. in the united states, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. in japan, china, and korea, however, people are much more private. they do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious(和谐的) business relationship theyre trying to build. middle easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. it is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from saudi arabia about his wife or children. as a general rule, its best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. this can get you into trouble, even in the united states, where people hold different views. in addition, discussing ones salary is usually considered unsuitable. sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. instead, be friendly and praise your hosts team. 28. the author considers politics and religion _ . a. cheerful topics b. taboos c. rude topics d. too serious29. which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author? a. sports. b. children. c. personal feelings. d. families. 30. in which country may it be suitable to talk about the family with your business friends? a. in france. b. in saudi arabia. c. in korea. d. in the usa. 31. what shouldnt you do when talking about sports with colleagues from another country? a. praising your own countrys sports. b. criticizing your own countrys sports. c. praising the sports of your colleagues country. d. criticizing the sports of your colleagues country. d dear highlights, my sister is always in a bad mood, which gets me in a bad mood. what should i do? tessa, virginiait can be hard to be around someone who is in a bad mood. since you cant change another persons mood, try to focus on what you can control: your own mood and reaction. you might find it easier to stay in a good mood if you leave your sister alone when she feels grumpy (脾气暴躁的). the next time she is in a bad mood, go to a quiet place in your house. read, exercise, draw, listen to music do something that makes
