A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.21. Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that _.A. they have beautiful colors and cool names B. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sports D. they are said to be helpful to health22. The main reason for people not to drink too much energy drinks is that they may cause _.A. heart problems B. nervousnessC. sleeping difficulty D. possible health dangers23.The underlined word “discouraged” can be replaced with _.A. disliked B. encouraged C. helped D. stopped24. From the passage we can know that _.A. advertisements are important in getting people to buy energy drinksB. sports players need to drink a lot of energy drinksC. energy drinks are helpful to teenagers studyD. energy drinks are especially aimed at teenagersBMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries like the UK or France people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead, there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.25. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to_. A. get to know each other B. keep each other company C. develop closer relations D. share the same culture26. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _. A. too many words are of no use B. the English prefer to make long speeches C. even talk and silence can be culturally different D. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature27. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better? A. By recognizing different values. B. By accepting different habits. C. By sharing different ways of life D. By speaking each others languages.28. What would be the best title for the text? A. Multicultural Environment. B. Cross-Cultural Differences. C. How to Understand Each Other. D. How to Build Up a Relationship.CIndian police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat. Either way, it could be the perfect crime, because the criminals are birds homing pigeons!The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back,pay up. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach moneyto the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in India. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an evenlazier and moreinventivecriminal mind one that avoids not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officerMohammed says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an advertisement in the newspaper asking for help.The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also,the amount of money demanded under 30,000 rupees seems too little for a car worth many times more.Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even ifthey start again,Mohammed holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said.29. After the car owner received a phone call, he_. A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried B. gave the money to the thief and had his car back C. sent some money to the thief by mail D. told the press about it30.The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to_. A. the car thief who stays at homeB.one of the policemen in India C.the owner of the pigeons D. one of those who put the ads in the paper31.The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show_. A. the money paid is too littleB.the thief is extremely clever C.how easily people get fooled by criminalsD.what Mohammed thinks might be correct32. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because_. A.he lives in the same neighborhood. B.he reads the ads in the newspaper. C. he has seen the car owners in the park. D. he has trained the pigeons to follow them.DVisit the Skywalk at Grand Canyon West Today!For Booking, Call: 1-866-944-7263Package Fee: $289 Per Adult; $274 Per Child. All Fees Included.
