You silly woman Oh, I seeYou have 45 minutes to tell me all about itI can do it in oneIve had this habit since I was a little kidAt the age of four, I was the only kid in the neighborhood who said, Mother, may I go out to play? instead of Can I? I had learned that lesson the hard way when I had raised my hand and asked my teacher, Can I leave the room? She replied, You can if you are ableIf you are asking for my permission to leave the room, I will reply, Yes, you mayThus the difference between Can I? and May I? was permanently carvedThe doctor looked at his watch and reminded him kindly, You now have 38 minutes left, MrAceAll rightWhen I came home from school, I always announced my entrance by calling out, It s I, MotherEven at that age I began passing this invaluable grammatical knowledge to all the kids, along with my explanations of the correct usageThey began passing it onto their mothers, who in turn began eying me suspiciously, calling me that strange boy , and telling them not to play with meButYou have 16 minutes left The doctor saidOn second thought you can tell me about that on your next visitIs Thursday OK?SureBut in meantime, Doctor”The doctor interrupted him In the meantime, I have a simple little exercise I would like you to tryWhen you hear someone commit a grammatical fault, you softly and slowly count to ten; the urge to make a correction will disappear gradually by itselfAnd that s it?

Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayer which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear popular in the US and UK that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of Londons Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name.But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.60People use iPlayer to _Alisten to music Bmake a call Cread newspapers Dwatch TV programs online 61We can infer that the Independents “i” is aimed at _Aold readersByoung readers Cfashionable women Dengineers62Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _Aportable Benvironmentally friendly Cadvanced Drecyclable63The writer suggests that _A“i” products are often of high qualityBiTeddy is a live bearCthe popularity of “i” products may not last long Dthe letter “b” replace letter “i” to name the productsCAmerican Watersports Tuesday-Saturday Located on the beach of the Sea Gardens Beach Resort, there are fun things to rent for the whole family.

if you are a man, you should be big and strongAnd while weve grown accustomed to research finding that such stereotypes （固有观点） play a part in the workplace obese women, for example, have a harder time climbing up the career stairway a recent study has found that a worker s body size can have a big effect on the size of his or her pay envelopeThe study found that obese people were identified as undisciplined, dishonest and less likely to do creative workOn the contrary, the researchers point out that employers and fellow employees associate values of self-discipline, hard work and confidence with thin peopleExperts say it s just another sign that as a society, weve fixed into our heads the unrealistic, media-driven physical ideals that show up in the workplace and therefore the walletThe researchers say that employers don t purposely think of these things when they re evaluating a personMuch of the problem is the result of unconscious decisions based on deep-rooted social stereotypesIt s no secret that the mass media have much to do with what decides the image our society finds pleasing and acceptableTV shows such as Mad Men and NCIS present powerful men with a very cool lookCougar Town on the other hand, celebrates skinny career woman Jules Cobb, a successful businessman who claims she s never eaten real ice cream because she s so concerned about her weightThe researchers suggest that employers look at their assumptions about employees weight, because they may be rooted in discriminationAn employment lawyer, Marshall Tanick, will be leading a conference this spring on how weight and attractiveness relate to unfair treatment, especially salaries in the workplaceNationally, there have been few claims, the lawyer saidSome cases have simply not been very solid , he said, and some employees have been too embarrassed to follow through with a caseIn addition, discrimination cases are generally tough to win, because so much is subjective That would be an uphill battle, he said72According to the body-size stereotypes we can infer that _ Aan extremely thin woman is unacceptable Ban obese person tends to be hard-working Can attractive person tends to get higher salary Da strong man is suitable for tough work73We can conclude from the passage that the body-size stereotypes _ Aare formed through constant influence of media Bhave become quite unacceptable to people Cresult from people s unconscious responses Dare playing an important role in people s daily life74The lawyer said the underlined words at the end of the passage because _ Apeople are unaware of the size-discrimination Bstereotypes influence people s judgment in size-discrimination cases Cthe employers wouldnt abandon their unfair treatment Devidences are hard to obtain in a size-discrimination case75What s the best possible title for the passage?
