when german. scandinavian and french invaders settled in england and created a common language for communication.today it is the official language of the uk, the usa, australia, new zealand, canada,

departure (起程) time. it is amazing how few people really do this carefully. once i arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. my secretary had got the ticket for me and i thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. when i arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. therefore, i had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.the second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. this can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. a few years ago i was sent to tulsa, oklahoma. i flew there from london via(经由)dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. i arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. the only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because i had no dollars, i offered to pay in pounds instead.“listen! i only take real money!” the driver said angrily. luckily i was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing (令人难堪的). the third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. i feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in may, when it is still fairly cool in london or manchester, to places like athens, rome or madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.46. according to the passage, its obvious that_ a. the author learns some rules of traveling from his own experience.b. the author doesnt plan his trips or journeys carefully.c. englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they traveld. the america taxi driver never travels to england.47. what should you make sure first before setting off?a. when you will leave. b. where you will go.c. how you will travel d. whom you will go with.48. according to the passage, the driver was angry because_a. the author gave him false moneyb. the author did not give him the local currencyc. the author did not give him moneyd. the author had no enough change49. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.b. you dont have to take credit cards when traveling.c. you should know more about the weather of the place youll visit.d. you should take enough change when you travel to other countries.50. what is the main idea of the passage?a. a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. b. always check and double-check departure time.c. it is important to have the local currency with you when you arrive in a country.d. to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.参考答案-4650 aabca i usually doubt about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago.while any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. still, 1 was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. in fact, the analysis showed, normal children between 9 and 17 have a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. why are americas kids so stressed? the report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation (孤独) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. given that we cant turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation to cope. at the top of the list,nurturing (培育) is a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. no child is an island. strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. to help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on tvs and computers. your family will thank you later.they will then have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep. limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. its not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. keep your expectations for your children reasonable. many highly successful people never attended harvard or yale. make exercise part of your daily routine. it will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. sometimes anxiety is unavoidable,but it doesnt have to ruin your life.31.what does the author thinks of the conclusion that people in america are unhappier than 50 years ago?a. surprisingb. confusingc. illogicald. questionable【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。根据surprising令人吃惊的；confusing令人困惑的；illogical不合唱里的；questionable可疑的。i usually doubt about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain
