Well, the most-watched TV programmes every week are very popular dramas that are usually on at least four times every week. They are dramas based in one neighbourhood that try to describe ordinary life in the UK - we call these dramas soap operas or soaps.In the early days of TV, there were often dramas on during the day. Back in those days, it was traditional for the husband to go out to work and for the wife to stay at home and look after the house and the children. Most of these daytime dramas were aimed at entertaining the housewives who would traditionally be at home, probably doing the washing. Companies selling washing powder would advertise their products at times when these dramas were on, and sometimes those companies would even sponsor (赞助) the drama. Hence the word soap.So what about the word opera? Well, thats because these dramas are often an exaggeration (夸大) of real life. They are supposed to represent ordinary life but to make them entertaining, lots of dramatic events like murders, divorces, affairs (风流韵事) etc. all happen probably much more regularly than they would in a normal neighbourhood. Most soap operas these days are shown in the evening. Each show will have several different storylines happening at once that continue over several shows. The same cast members will appear in every show too. There are lots of different soaps on in the UK on different channels but there are three main popular ones. Coronation Street has been on since 1960. It is set in a suburb of Manchester and its supposed to represent working class life in the north of England. Then theres Eastenders which started in 1985, set in the East End of London and Emmerdale, which is set on a farm in Yorkshire, in the north of England. 56. The text is mainly about _.A. some popular soap operasB. how people spend their spare time in the UKC. why soap opera is so calledD. how companies sell soaps57. Which opera should you watch if you want to learn about peoples life in London?A. Coronation Street.B. Eastenders.C. Emmerdale.D. None of the above.58. The underlined part “cast members” in paragraph 4 probably means _.A. actors and actressesB. people who sell washing powderC. characters in Coronation StreetD. opera producers59. We may infer from the second paragraph that _. A. companies often sold washing powder from door to doorB. soap operas were produced only for womenC. men didnt like watching TVD. today more women go to work60.Which of the following stories takes place in Manchester?A. Coronation Street.B. EastendersC. EmerdaleD. None of the above.BWhen I was small and my grandmother died I couldnt understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that crying does so, too.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to be helpful. Study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and more friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we dont even know were very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, dont fight it. Its a natural and healthy emotional response (反应).61.Why didnt the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. The author doesnt give the explanation.62.It can be inferred from the text that _.A. there are two ways to keep healthyB. crying does more good to health than laughingC. crying and laughing play the same rolesD. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health63.According to the author, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.64.What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Power of Tears B. How to Keep HealthyC. Why Do We Cry D. A New Scientific DiscoveryCSometimes you need to make phone calls to get a job. Calling is the first step where you can show your ability to an employer. Here are some tried and true tips:Get the person responsibleYou need to talk directly to the person who would supervise you. In a small business, you might ask to speak to the “person in charge”. In a larger one, you would ask for the name of the person in charge of the particular department youre interested in.Get the name of the personIf you dont have the name of the person you need to speak to, ask for it. Usually, you will be given the supervisors name and your call will be transferred to him or her.Get past the receptionistIn some cases, receptionists and secretaries will try to screen out your call. If they find out that youre looking for a job, they may transfer you to the Personnel Department or ask you to send an application or resume. Here are some ways to keep from getting screened out:* Call backCall back a day later and say you are getting ready to send some correspondence (信件) to the person who manages such and such. You want to use the correct name and title and request that they give you this information. And this approach usually gets you what you need. Say “thank you” and call back in a day or so. Then ask for the supervisor or manager by name.* Call when the secretary is outYou are likely to get right through if you call when the receptionist is out to lunch. Other good times are just before and after normal work hours. Less experienced staff members are likely to answer the phone and put you right through.Ask three times for an interviewSometimes, the supervisor you contact just simply rejects you. Then, you can try asking three times for an interview! Although this approach does not always work, asking the third time works more often than most people would believe.Arrange a timeIf the person agrees to an interview, arrange a specific date and time.65.In the writers opinion, who should you talk to if you want to get a job by making phone calls?A. Receptionists or secretaries of the right department.B. The person in charge of the Personnel Department.C. The person who may be your future supervisor.D. A less experienced staff member.66.To get past the receptionist, you had better _.A.ask him or her to put you through to the Personnel DepartmentB.send some correspondence first to the managerC.make the phone call to a less experienced staff memberD.always ask three times for an interview before arranging a time67. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. show you how to find a better jobB. show you a special way to find a jobC. teach you the skills of making telephone callsD. tell you its not easy to find a good jobD Are you one of those who always fear whenever a dog is approaching? If you are, you have got phobia (a very strong feeling of being afraid of something). Of all human fears, phobias may be the most uncontrollable. They are most often caused by a particular situation or object. In general, phobias can mainly be divided into three varieties. To begin with，agoraphobia is a fear of staying in strange surroundings, for example, an unfamiliar place, or an open area. Social phobia refers to the anxiety people show when they have to stay or perform on social events, for instance, speaking in front of the class. Lastly, there are a wide range of specific phobias. People suffering from this kind of phobia are terrified of specific objects or creatures, such as spiders, perhaps to your surprise, clowns. Besides, there are about six hundred and fifty phobias having been listed by psychologists (心理学家) as yet. Faced with their phobias, many people choose to do nothing but just escape the situations or objects they fear. Psychologists, however, warn that if not treated properly, this kind of anxiety will get worse, so that it may disturb the sleep pattern, cause physical symptoms, and finally affect their daily activities. As for treatment, clinical research has discovered that medicine for anxiety is not successful in curing phobias. However, the anxiety
