of us havent read cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden cinderella in everyones heartwe all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity（默默无闻）.mary santiago has that secret dream, too. her story is featured in another cinderella story, a film set in a us high school. mary is shy but loves to dance. compared with other girls, she is invisible. however, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, joey parker, appears.joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are notkind, handsome and desirable. mary and joeys paths cross at a ball. they meet and fall in love with each other. but when mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her mp3 player, which becomes the only clue joey has to find the girl of his dreams. of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be dominique blatt and she takes in mary after her dancer mother dies. dominique treats mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure mary doesnt get into the top dance school. her two daughters are equally determined to stop joey falling for mary, even if that means embarrassing her.the story, though it mostly follows cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. there is also a lot less materialism in another cinderella story than in many similar movies.“the movie takes the cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic amber wilkinson. “yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”56. the first paragraph is mainly to _.a. inform us of the importance to marry a princeb. remind us why cinderella is popular all the yearsc. build interest and lead us to marys secret dream d. tell us how interesting the fairy tale cinderella is57. in the movie, mary santiago is the main character who _.a. is badly treated by the stepmother b. is brave in expressing her love c. has a dream of meeting a prince d. is embarrassed by the pop singer58. what can we infer from the passage? _.a. joey is just like other boys in marys class.b. not many people have a dream to be realized. c. the mp3 player helps joey in finding mary.d. marys mother influences her a lot in singing.59. what does movie critic amber wilkinson mean by his words about another cinderella story? _.a. the movie is exactly another copy of the cinderella fairytale.b. the movie is as good as the story cinderella.c. the movie and cinderella both focus on following your dream.d. the movie is based on the story cinderella while a little different from it. 60. the passage is mainly about _.a. an introduction to mary santiago b. an essay about dreams c. a review about a film d. an advertisement of cinderellabstatistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. as your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil (零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldnt do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的).fly on non-stop routesmost accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.choose larger aircraftalthough small aircrafts have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply (遵守) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefingthe information may seem repetitious (重复的), but its worth listening to the flight attendants. and even if youve flown before, it doesnt mean you know everything about the aircraft youre on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.store things safelynever put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. they may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence (气流).keep our seat belt fastened while you are seatedcabin crew always tell you this, but its important. you would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. the general rule of flying is this: if you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.let the flight attendant pour your hot drinksflight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.61. what is the overall reason for these air safety tips? _.a. what to do in the event of a crash. b. how to avoid turbulence.c. how to improve safety while you are flying. d. how to avoid injury.62. the underlined word “those” in the second tip refers to _.a. smaller planesb. passengers c. larger aircraftsd. safety records63. the underlined phrase “the general rule” in the fifth tip refers to _.a. anything the flight staff tell you to do b. general safety advicec. walking around the plane d. pouring hot drinks64. which of the following is not true? _.a. larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.b. take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.c. every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.d. seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.65. the best title of the passage should be _.a. the safest way to travel b. air safety tipsc. non-stop routes d. how to fly a plane cnext time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. and when youre doing your holiday shopping online, make sure youre holding a large glass of iced tea. the physical sensation（感觉） of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisionsthose are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist john a. bargh.psychologists have known that one persons perception（感知）of anothers “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, bargh argues, when babies conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. classic studies by harry harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. harlows work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. although no worldwide study has been done, bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.to test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. a research assistant who was unaware of the studys hypotheses（假设）, handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: the drink was then handed back. after that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “person a” based on a particular description. those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded person a as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“we are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says bargh.66. according to paragraph 1, a persons emotion may be affected by _.a. the visitors to his officeb. the psychology lessons he hasc. his physical feeling of coldnessd. the things he has bought online67. the author mentions harlows experiment to show that _.a. adults should develop social skillsb. babies need warm physical contactc. caregivers should be healthy adultsd. monkeys have social relationships68. in barghs experiment, the students were asked to _.a. evaluate someones personalityb. write down their hypothesesc. fill out a personal information formd. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively69. we can infer from the passage that _.a. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiencesb. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwidec. physical temperature affects how we see othersd. capable persons are often cold to others70. what would be the best title for the passage? _.a. drinking for better social relationships.b. experiments of personality evaluation.c. developing better drinking habits.d. physical sensations and emotions.dwhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, ”well, its so-and-sos fault.” or “i know im late，but its not my fault；the car broke down.” it is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. yo
