My Side of the Car B. Huckleberry FinnC. Great Expectations D. A Night to RememberBIt happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obamas Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US President. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words,“a wonderfully written book.” However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liarAnd it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. In The World Book Day survey, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As Im not one to lie too often, Ill admit here and now that I havent read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984. I think its absolutely outstandingAsked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth!The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named JK Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King. Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the storySo which books have you lied about reading if any and which is your favorite?（ ）59. The main reason why people lie about reading is to _.A. make fun of the listener B. impress the listenerC. please the listener D. interest the listener（ ）60. The underlined word“proceeded”in the passage probably means“_”.A. wanted B. happened C. continued D. stopped（ ）61. What is the best title for the passage?A. Are You A Book Liar? B. Readers Are All LiarsC. World Book Day D. Dreams From My FatherCNeddine Parker is up by 7 in the morning. After her morning exercises and some housework, she drives to the local hospital, where she volunteers once a week. What makes Parkers routine so extraordinary is that she is 104 years old.“I dont know why Im still here,” she said.Dr. Thomas Perls of the Boston University Medical Center is trying to figure that out. As the director of the New England Centenarian (百岁老人) Study, he studies there “super humans”, those age 100 years and older.“Its like winning the lottery”, he said. “Youve got to choose the right numbers and the right combination.”Researchers believe about 30 percent of aging is genetic. For those who get to extremely old ages, family history may play an even more important role.Reuben Landaus mother lived to 100, and three of his brothers and sisters into their 90s. Landau is nearly 102, and he still practices law a few hours every day. Both Landau and Parker are remarkably healthy. They take few medications and have no major illness.Perls has found that many centenarians lack a type of gene E4 that is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. One study found the gene is in 29 percent of young men, but only 15 percent of centenarians. Perls also believes they may have a “protective gene”, one that helps them survive what might kill others. Parker, for example, smoked until she was 100 and had a stroke at 89.However, living into your 100s isnt just genetics. Aging successfully has much to do with environment and behavior. Landau watches what he eats and exercises his body and mind every day. Hes convinced its why hes still in good health. “People still have to do the right things to get to very old age,” said Perls. So its not just the cards youre dealt, but how you play the hand.（ ）62. According to the first two paragraphs, what Parker doesnt know in fact means _.A. why researchers are studying herB. why she still can manage her routineC. why she volunteers once a week in the hospitalD. why she is still living at the age of 104（ ）63. By saying “Its like winning the lottery”, Dr. Thomas Perls means _.A. it is quite unusual to be a centenarianB. it is very difficult to find “super humans”C. it is a tough job investigating the aging processD. it takes a long time to win a lottery（ ）64. Why are Landau and Parker remarkably healthy according to the research?A. Because they are remarkably active in mind.B. Because they lack a gene linked to illness.C. Because they are fond of social work.D. Because they enjoy sports and housework.（ ）65. According to the last paragraph, centenarians can live long, still depending on _.A. the genes they inheritB. environment and exerciseC. the right things to do before agingD. a close personal relationshipDAs more Americans go to mainland China to take jobs, more Chinese and Americans are working side by side. These cross cultural partnerships, while beneficial in many ways, are also highlighting tensions that expose differences in work experience, pay levels and communication.In the last few years, a growing number of Americans in their 20s and 30s have been heading to China for employment, attracted by its faster growing economy and lower jobless rate. Their Chinese coworkers are often around the same age. But the two groups were raised differently. The Americans have had more exposure to freemarket principles. “Young Americans were brought up in a commercial environment,” said Neng Zhao, 28, a senior associate at Blue Oak Capital, a private firm based in Beijing. “We werent. So the workplace is a unique learning process for my generation.”Managers hiring workers in China appear to be paying for Western experience. Foreigners tend to earn 10 to 15 percent more than their Chinese counterparts (persons working in similar positions), said Michael Norman, senior vice president at Sibson Consulting, an American firm. That imbalance does not go unnoticed by Chinese workers. “There is definitely the belief that Americans get paid more for the same work.” said Ting Wang, 25, an associate at Wild China, a travel company based in Beijing. On the other hand, Chinese workers have a deeper understanding of the influences, like Confucianism and Communism, which play a part in their countrys culture and economy.It is important and necessary for Americans working in China to adjust, said Mr. Norman, who works on management and work force issues for multinational companies operating in Asia.“In the West, there is such a bonus on getting things done quickly, but when you come to work in China, you need to work on listening and being more patient and understanding of local ways of doing business,” he said.（ ）66. More Americans go to China to take jobs because _.A. they want to experience different culturesB. Chinese workers are easier to cooperateC. they cant find proper jobs in AmericaD. the economy of China is developing rapidl
