If you do get lost, this is what you should do.Sit down and stay where you are. Dont try to find your friends let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.If you dont think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Dont just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.The most important thing to do when you are lost is stay in one place.56. How do you let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun?A. Stop now and then.B. Go on shouting or whistling.C. Shout over and over at the top of voice. D. Shout or whistle three times once a while.BI cry easily. I cried when a boy in the film suffered from an incurable disease. I cried when an athlete broke a world record. One night my wife and I were going to dinner at a friends. As we went towards the house, I noticed a car pulling out from the sidewalk. Just ahead, another car was waiting to back into the parking space. But before he could do so a yellow car came up from behind and sneaked into the space.While my wife went ahead into our friends house, I stepped into the street.“Hey,” I said, “this parking space belongs to that guy.” I gestured towards the man ahead, who was looking back angrily. At that moment I was feeling pretty manly. “Mind your own business!” the driver told me.“No,” I said. “You dont understand. That fellow was waiting to back into this space.”Things quickly heated up, until finally he jumped out of the car. My God, he was extremely large. He grabbed me and shook his rock of a fist at me. I tasted blood. I was terrified.Almost in a panic, I ran to my friends front door. As a former Marine（海军）, as a man, I felt absolutely embarrassed as my wife and friends asked me what had happened. All I could say was that I had had an argument about a parking space. They were sensitive and let it go at that. Perhaps half an hour later, the doorbell rang. For some reason I was sure that the huge man had returned for me. My blood ran cold. My hostess got up to answer it, but I stopped her. I knew I had to face up to my fear. I opened the door. There he stood. “I came back to apologize,” he said in a low voice. “I am ashamed of myself. The Brooklyn Navy Yard where Ive worked for ten years is closing. Today I got laid off. Im not myself. I hope youll accept my apology. ”I remembered that after I closed the door, I stood there for a few minutes alone with tears in my eyes. 60. What did the author do when a yellow car drove into the parking space? A. He beat the driver.B. He blamed the driver.C. He asked the driver to apologize. D. He ran to his friends house for help. 61. What do we know about the yellow cars driver?A. He was rude and liked fighting. B. He was famous for his bad temper.C. He lost his job and felt terrible that day. D. He tried to get the authors parking space.62. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. I became quite calm. B. I felt extremely frightened.C. I couldnt move with cold.D. I was too angry to say anything.63. What kind of person is the author?A. Direct and serious. B. Humorous and open-minded. C. Honest and ambitious.D. Warm-hearted and understanding. CHow Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?Mothers who feel their children dont appreciate them can add another grievance to the list: half the time, their children are lying to them. A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations. Still, mums should feel better than total strangers, who are told lies an astonishing 77% of the time.Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, asked 77 undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week, and write down whether they lied at any time. DePaulo named lying broadly, as “when you intentionally try to mislead someone”, so she would catch the smallest of lies.The students told an average of two lies a day. They said they had been studying when they had been out drinking. One told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would send him extra money. Female students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were pretty. “They are everyday lies,” says DePaulo.DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to. College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time. In close relationships, people were more likely to tell “kind-hearted” lies, designed to protect feelings, rather than self-serving lies.Romantic (浪漫的)partners fall somewhere between close friends and acquaintances. Students lied to romantic partners about a third of the time. DePaulo thinks that unmarried lovers can expect less honesty than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance.Mothers can take heart from one other finding. They may have been lied to, but at least their children talked to them. The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers - because they had little interaction with them.64. What is the meaning of the underlined word “grievance” in Paragraph 1?A. Opinion.B. Complaint.C. Belief.D. Difficulty.65.According to the passage, college students felt closest to _. A. mothersB. best friendsC. acquaintancesD. romantic partners66.Female students lied to their roommates to _.A. get money from themB. offer them the services C. gain more securityD. make them happy67. What is the purpose of this article?A. To present a fact.B. To argue an idea.C. To tell a story.D. To explain a theory. DWal-Mart is not just the worlds largest retailer(零售商). Its the worlds largest company，which sells in three months what number-two retailer Home Depot sells in a year.Wal-Mart exercises its power for just one purpose: to bring the lowest possible prices to its customers. At Wal-Mart, that goal is never reached. The retailer has a clear policy for suppliers: On basic products that dont change, the price Wal-Mart will pay, and will charge shoppers, must drop year after year. But what almost no one outside the world of Wal-Mart and none of its 21,000 suppliers know is the high cost of those low prices. To survive in the face of its pricing demands, makers of everything from bikes to jeans have had to close US plants in favor of obtaining products from abroad.Indeed, the real story of Wal-Mart, the story that never gets told, is the story of the pressure the biggest retailer constantly applies to its suppliers in the name of bringing us “every day low prices”. The giant retailers low prices often come with a high cost. Wal-Marts pressure can crush the companies it does business with and force them to send jobs overseas. Are we shopping our way straight to the unemployment line? Of course, US companies have been moving jobs offshore for decades, long before Wal-Mart was a retailing power. But there is no question that the chain is helping accelerate the loss of American jobs to low-wage countries such as Thailand. People ask, “How can it be bad for things to come into the US cheaply?” Sure, its great to have bargains. But you cant buy anything if youre not employed. There is no question that Wal-Marts drive to squeeze out cost has benefited consumers. By now, it is accepted wisdom that Wal-Mart makes the companies it does business with more efficient and focused. Wal-Mart itself is known for continuous improvement in its ability to handle, move, and track goods. It is legendary (传奇) for forcing its suppliers to redesign everything from their packaging to their computer systems. It is also legendary for quite straightforwardly telling them what it will pay for their goods. 68. How do suppliers meet the requirements of Wal-Mart?A. To sell even more goods in three months.B. To cut down the employment rate sharply. C. To charge shoppers at a much higher price.D. To run the business in a well-organized way.69. Wal-Marts low price policy results in_.A. more high-paying jobsB. better designed packagesC. bigger profit of its partnersD. more jobless American workers70. What can we infer from the passage?A. Still more quality goods will be provided. B. The food you get at Wal-Mart costs least. C. The value of Mal-Mart is over assessed.D. Wal-Mart is a very demanding company.71. Whats the best title for the passage?A. The Fortune Wal-Mart Makes B. The Wal-Mart you dont KnowC. The Biggest RetailerWal-Mart D.
