people dancing or shouting on the square. they are a flash mob (快闪族). confused by their name? actually, a flash mob, organized with the help of the internet or other digital communications networks, is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and shouting something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds, and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive.bill wasik, senior editor of harpers magazine, organized the first flash mob in manhattan in may 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on june 3, 2003 at macys department store involving 100 people gathering on macys department store. following this, about 200 people flooded the lobby of the hyatt hotel, applauding in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next participants pretending to be tourists on a trip invaded a shoe shop in soho. a later mob saw hundreds of people in central park making bird noises.wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to tease hipsters (追逐时尚的人), and highlight the cultural atmosphere of agreement and of being part of “the next big thing”. many web logs, chat rooms and web groups are devoted to the craze. though flash mobs were originally regarded as useless, the concept has already developed for the benefit of political and social events. flash mobbing takes advantage of the efficiency of communicating information on websites and by email, and protesters can similarly use the “on and off” concept to be involved in political events. such flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock or frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. they also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.the flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. people use it to do many things. for example, in 2009, hundreds of michael jacksons fans took part in a flash mob to remember him, gathering outside the railway station in liverpool, singing and dancing michaels famous song, beat it together. in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to warn people against negative words. flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.21 a flash mob is most likely to .a. give out leaflets of a brand bicycle to the passers-byb. gather in public places performing and leave quicklyc. plan to go mountaineering on the first day of horse yeard. sit for days in front of the city hall for higher wages22according to the passage, what contribute(s) most to the popularity of the flash mob?a. harpers magazine b. the governmentc. political events d. digital networks23the purpose of the writing is .a. to amuse and interest b. to argue and advisec. to describe and introduce d. to question and commentfannie cratty wasnt really my aunt. i only referred to her as “my aunt fannie” because the name always made my father laugh and gave my mother cause to look angrily at both of us-at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. as a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large victorian farmhouse owned by fannie cratty. during those years my mother helped aunt fannie make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in glenfield. aunt fannie was well known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as aunt fannie was alive (and she lived to be ninety-six!), she never made the jam without ms. cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret. each august, when blueberry season would roll around, my mother would prepare me for aunt fannies visit. it was vital that i should be on my best behavior. after all, the woman was old, wealthy, very strict with children. whenever she was at the house, i didnt need to be reminded to guard my thoughts and watch my tongue.one year, after i had been particularly helpful with the jam process, aunt fannie gave me a quarter(25分硬币) and then made me promise that i would never spend it. “hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. i still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” it had obviously worked for her. so, i kept the 1938-quarter into a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.i now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from aunt fannie. in peoples eye aunt fannies success was due to that secret recipe. but to me, it was just a common recipe. neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but i keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. and that is a fortune that anyone can build. 24paragraph 2 implies that my mother .a. used to forget the secret blueberry jam recipe b. wanted to show off her excellent cooking skillsc. was unable to make the jam without aunt fannies directiond. tried to convince aunt fannie that she would keep the secret 25according to paragraph 4, the author believed that aunt fanni was rich because .a. she had kept her first quarterb. she had never wasted moneyc. she had worked very hardd. she had kept her promise26the author thinks that we can feel wealthy if we .a. share our wealth with othersb. have good fortune and moneyc. know the secret of a jam reciped. own lasting love and friendship27which would be the best title for this passage？a. an old quarterb. valuable thingsc. blueberry jam reciped. memories of old timewhen a child is told he is uncool, it can be very painful. he may say he doesnt care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. but ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending its not there.helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. if you say, why are you worried about what other children think about you? it doesnt matter! children know that it does matter. instead, an active way may be best. you could say, im going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.if a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. the teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. this is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. a teacher can also raise a childs popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. it even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.there are things that parents can do at home, too. be friendly when your child brings others home to play. encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider super. when you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.what you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.28a child who has been informed of being uncool may _.a.care nothing about itb.develop a sense of angerc.do something uncool purposely d.pretend to get hurt very much29a teacher can help an unpopular child by _.a.seeing the child as the teachers favouriteb.asking the child to do something for partnersc.forcing other children to make friends with the child d.offering the child chances to show his good qualities30how can parents help their child fit in better?a.by cooking delicious food for him.b.by being kind to his schoolmates.c.by forcing him to invite friends home. d.by taking him to have picnics in the park.31which of the following is true?a.children dont care about others comments on them.b.its only a teachers work to make children popular.c.parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.d.inviting childrens friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.analysis of the composition of quicksand shows that there are four key ingredientssand, obviously water, clay and salt. together these materials form a structure resembling a house of cards, with large water-filled gaps between the sand particles, which are loosely glued in place by the clay. as long as its left alone, the structure remains stable. but as soon as its disturbed, by stepping on it, the clay changes from a jelly-like consistency to a runny liquid. the effect is the same as stirring a pot of yoghurt. liquefying(溶解)the clay makes the quicksand about one million times runnier, and the whole house of cards comes tumbling down, with you inside it.very quickly, the sand sinks to the bottom and the water floats to the top. this is where the salt comes in. when theres enough salt present, as soon as the clay particles liquefy, electrical charges make them begin to stick together to form bigger particles and these also settle with the sand. quicksand is a mixture which looks like solid, but behaves more like a liquid.despite its murderous reputation, quicksand does not such people under and swallow them, although it can hold a person in firm grip. the human body is more buoyant(有浮力) in quicksand than in water, and sooner or later anyone trapped in it will float.unlike most liquids, quicksands viscosity, or “runniness” can suddenly change if it comes under pressure, for example under a human foot. the surface gives way and the victim quickly sinks in up to the knees, surrounded by an area of dirty things that turns semi-solid around its victim. escaping from the quicksands grip(紧握) requires a large amount of force. without something solid to pull at, people often find they are stuck fast. pulling at one leg simply makes the other one sink further.so how do you escape from quicksands control? stay still and call for help. staying still stops you sinking any further, until-with luck-help arrives on the scene. if no one appears and you need to draw yourself out, gently lie down on your back until your body is floating on the sand. next, roll over onto your stomach and pull yourself forwards with your hands, so that you gradually “swim” towards firmer ground. it is a slow and dirty business, but it works.this technique has one barrier: it goes against a very powerful human nature. faced with danger in the open, nine out of ten stay on their feet so that they can run away, in which case it can worsen the situation.32which ingredient of the quicksand make someone trapped in it stuck and stuck fast?a. sand b. clay c. water d. salt33from the passage we can learn that _a. as long as you are strong enough, you can pull yourself up from quicksand on your ownb. clay glues sand particles loosely, which makes quicksand stable, unless it is disturbedc. because anyone trapped in quicksand will float, there is little possibility of him dyingd. looking like solid ground, quicksand is actually liquid34if someone is trapped in quicksand, what should he do?a. remain calm and wave for helpb. stand in quicksand and get ready to run away as quickly as possiblec. “swimming” is one of the best choices
