湖北省黄石市2014高考英语阅读理解训练题（6）及答案“who made your t-shirt?” a geoetown university student raised that question. pietra rivoli, a professor of business, wanted to find the answer. a few weeks later, she bought a t-shirt and began to follow its path from texas cotton form to chinese factory to charity bin (慈善捐赠箱). the result is an interesting new book , the tra s of a t-shirt in the global economy(经济).following a t-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting, but it also frees rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade. she goes wherever the t-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner. in china, rivoli shows why a clothing factory , even with its poor conditions, means a step toward a better e for the people who work there. in the colorful used-clothing markets of tanzania, she realizes, the “it is only in this final stage of life that the t-shirt will meet a real market,” where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color .rivolis book is full of men able people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the “muddy-sweet smell (泥土香味) of the cotton. ”she says, “here in the factory, shanghai smells like shallowater texas.”rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections. she even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization.

is crying beneficial? and is there such a thing as a bad cry?the researchers analyzed the detailed accounts of more than 3,000 recent crying experiences and found that the benefits of crying depend entirely on the what, where and when of a particular crying episode (一段经历). the majority of persons reported improvements in their mood following a short period of crying. however, one third reported no improvement in mood and a tenth felt worse after crying. criers who received social support during their crying episode were the most likely to report improvements in mood.research to date has not always produced a clear picture of the benefits of crying, in part because the results often seem to depend on how crying is studied. the researchers note several challenges in accurately studying crying behavior in a laboratory setting. volunteers who cry in a laboratory setting often do not describe their experiences as making them feel better. rather, crying in a laboratory setting often results in the study participants feeling worse; this may be due to the stressful conditions of the study itself, such as being videotaped or watched by researchers. this may produce negative emotions, which neutralize (使无效) the positive benefits usually connected with crying.however, these laboratory studies have provided interesting findings about the physical effects of crying. criers do show calming effects such as slower breathing, but they also experience a lot of unpleasant stress, including increased heart rate and sweating. what is interesting is that bodily calming usually lasts longer than the unpleasant. the calming effects may occur later and overcome the stress reaction, which would account for why people tend to remember mostly the pleasant side of crying.research has shown that the effects of crying also depend on who is shedding the tears. for example, individuals with anxiety or mood disorders are least likely to experience the positive effects of crying. in addition, the researchers report that people who lack insight into their emotional lives actually feel worse after crying.12. we can infer from the passage that _.a. people dont like being seen cryingb. crying in public makes people feel betterc. a bad cry is as common as a good cryd. a good cry can sometimes help us face problems rightly13. the beneficial effects of crying can be shown when

crying.b. people who fail to understand their emotions.c. people who are anxious and nervous.d. people whose mood is not in order.15. the passage is mainly about _.a. the types of crying b. the way of cryingc. the psychology of crying d. the causes of crying参考答案 1215、daac *结束 highfield comprehensive schoolschool reportform teacher: g. baker pupils name: simon watkinsterm: summer 2010form:

(b) abdb *结束do you know what really troubles me? for some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me. for example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. all of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them. some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced. even foreign languages, especially french, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. i know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive. especi
