In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian(巴西的)university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students behavior. The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university calls, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student showed clearly lateness as 19 minutes after agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student left the friend late after 33 minutes. In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour, while, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. Arrived late may not be very important in Brazilian, neither is staying late.56. Why did the professor study the Brazilian students behavior? A. He felt puzzled at the students being late. B. He felt angry at the students rudeness. C. He wanted to make the students come on time later. D. He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.57. It can be inferred from the professors study of lateness in the informal situation that _. A. American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late B. neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatherings C. being late in one culture may not be considered so in another culture D. Brazilian students will not come thirty- three minutes after the agreed time58. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil_. A. it is important to arrive at the appointed time B. it is rude to keep the professor staying after calls C. it is normal for students to leave during lectures D. it is acceptable for professors to be late for class59. What is the main idea of this passage? A. It is important to be on time for class in the United States. B. The importance of being on time differs among cultures. C. People learn the importance of time from the culture they are in. D. Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher. B. Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment（营养）. The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form(丸剂), believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing(有营养的) food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesnt need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?In the modem western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw away the good habits and throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.Chinese diet is generally considered to be the healthiest in the world. It contains balanced nutrients as well as fibers. Its not right to eat too full or take in too much fat, salt or sugar. Remember: Healthy diet combined with regular exercise is the recipe for a happy life.60. From the first sentence we know that _, A. all kinds .of food you eat can be made into nourishment B. your body is made up of the food you eat. C. what you eat has great effect on your healthD. the more you eat, the better you will feel61. How do you understand the old saying underlined in the passage? A. Eating apples regularly does good to our health. B. Doctors are no longer necessary if we eat an apple every day.C. The apple is the best among all kind of fruits. D. An apple is a good way to cure illnesses.62. In modern western countries, _. A. people dont want to pay more attention to their eatingB. lots of peoples illnesses are caused or made worse by bad eating habits C. people throw everything into their stomachs without digestion(消化) D. people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves63. If we want to keep healthy, we should _ .A. only eat an apple a dayB. have balanced food and work out regularly.C. take as many vitamin pills as possibleD. throw everything into our stomachs slowly and carefully C.Many people have discovered that hobbies can be profitable as well as fun. Some people have such fine collections of bottles, flags, buttons or shells that others are willing to pay to see them or they offer to buy their collections for large sums of money.Some of the best collections arc owned by people who started their hobbies as young boys or girls. Some of the things that American children like to collect are stamps and dolls. Older people also save stamps, but they collect coins and things made of glass more often than dolls.Painting, writing and taking photographs are the best examples of hobbies that may become occupations. Every writer, artist and photographer probably started as a hobbyist before becoming a professional. Other hobbies that could be profitable include cooking, sewing and making things out of wood.Many doctors believe that hobbies help to make our lives more enjoyable. They believe that people who raise fish or collect recorders are too busy to spend their time worrying. Doctors also think that an active person, such as a baseball player, should have a restful hobby such as reading, while a person who sits at a desk all day should have lively hobbies such as tennis, golf or swimming. Most people in the United States agree with the doctor. It is difficult to find an American who does not have a favorite hobby.64. In the passage, “hobby” means _A. favorite occupation for ones spare timeB. interesting things after workC. all sorts of collections in one s lifeD. the best collections owned by people65. Hobbies can bring people not only _ but also _A. interest; worryingB. happiness; a large sum of moneyC. profit; a happy lifeD. material gains; great fun66. Which is true according to the writer?A.

Almost everyone in the United States_A. starts his hobby during his childhoodB. follows the doctors advice to have a hobbyC. spends a lot of money on the lively hobbyD. gets pleasure from his favorite hobby D.Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. But they think that their family members, especially their parents, dont know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in childrens growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose their childrens friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who chooses your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parents dont like? When children and their parents dont agree with each other, the conflict appears. The children think they are being watched all the time and they dont have enough freedom. They may become angry and even shout back when arguing with their parents. On the other hand, the parents feel sad and surprised why their children sometime be rude to them, for they think they have done everything right. In this case, both parents and children should control themselves, and try to think in the other way. You can find a chance and tell the other what you think of. Its also a good way to find someone else to help them. Spend more time with the other and find some activities than both are interested in, then things may turn better.68. Many teenagers think their_ know them better than their parents do.A. friendsB. teachersC. brothers and sistersD. classmates69. When teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is to_.A. go to their friendsB. talk with their parentsC. have a discussion with their familyD. talk with their friends on the phone70.

Parents should like everything their children enjoy.B. In all families, children can choose everything they like.C. Parents and children should try their best to understand each otherD. Teenagers can only go to their friends for help. E.Professor Martins report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.The Professor says, “Its true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject.”Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of 2 children, said, “Ive never heard such rubbish, Taking me for example, no harm is done to the education of my children who change school regularly-if they keep to the same system. In my experience-and Ive known quite a few of them-Army children are as well-adjusted(调整) as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesnt appear to notice is the fact that in such situations children will adapt much better than grown-ups.”When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency (倾向). “Our finding shows that while the very bright child can deal with regular change without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation.”72. Professor Martins report suggests that _.A. it may not be good for children to change schools oftenB. parents should not move oftenC. more and more children are mentally affectedD. children will make rapid progress if they stay in one school.73. According to the passage, Professor Martins personal feeling_ .A. is the opposite of what his
