He wanted to change the tone(音色，语调) of his voice. While all this was happening, a man who was working nearby watched carefully and listened with great interest to the conversation that followed:Lady, can you give me the job of cutting your lawn(草坪)?I already have someone to cut my lawn, answered the woman at the other end of the phone.Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.Im very satisfied with the person who is cutting my lawn.The boy said, Lady, Ill even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free.No, thank you.With a smile on his face, the young boy thanked the lady and hung up the phone. The man then walked over to the boy and said: Son, I like your attitude(态度). Id like to offer you a job.No, thanks, said the boy.But youre looking for a job, arent you?No, sir, answered the boy.

His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 4,56 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, said George Vaillant, the psychologist(心理学家）who made the discovery. And because they felt good about themselves，others felt good about them.”Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47.Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mental health scores with their boyhood一activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working-at any age- is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence-the underpinnings(基础） of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.”35 . What do we know about John?AHe enjoyed his job and marriage.BHe had few childhood playmates.CHe received little love from his family.DHe was admired by others in his childhood.36 . Vaillants words in Paragraph 2 are mentioned as_Aa description of personal values and social valuesBan analysis(分析)of how work was related to competenceCan example for parents expectations of their childrenDan explanation why some boys grew into happy men37 . Vaillants team made some discoveries by_Arecording the boys effort in schoolBjudging the mens mental healthCcomparing different sets of scoresDmeasuring the mens problem solving ability38 . What can we learn from the last paragraph?ACompetent adults know more about love than work.BEmotional health is necessary to a wonderful adult life.CLove brings more joy to people than work does.DIndependence is the key to ones success.Do you look like your name? Scientists say theres a good chance you do.This comes from a new study published in a magazine. Researchers from Israel found thatour given names may have something to do with our facial (面部的) appearances.Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university, along with her team, did eight different experiments (实验) in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions:whether people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos of peoples faces andguess each persons name from a list of four choices. They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent of a random (随机的) guess.Whats more, when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country, they were able to best match the faces to the names. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it, to match their names. One study especially backed up this idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by people easily, was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.“Earlier research has shown there are cultural stereotypes (偏见) carried by names, includinghow someone should look. For example, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, influence peoples facial appearances,” Zwebner said.The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.“If a name can influence appearance, it can influence many other things. This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,” said Zwebner, who recently had a baby herself.“As parents, it was really difficult for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meanings of names.”39 . One of the purposes of the experiments is to_.Agive the students a chance to know each otherBexplain what influences our facial appearancesCfind out different characteristics carried by different namesDsee if people can correctly guess a persons name based only on a photo of a face40 . People could match the faces to the names more easily.Awhen they did a random guessBwhen the faces are from other countriesCwhen the faces are from their own countryDwhen they have more knowledge themselves41 . The underlined part “backed up” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “ ”.AsupportedBchangedCcomparedDcancelled42 . Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 are mainly to show.Athe results of changing namesBnames have something to do with appearancesCthe importance of cultural stereotypes carried by namesDthe importance of a hairstyle in guessing different looks43 . According to Zwebner, we know that.Afacial appearances may influence namesBwe shouldnt think of others just according to their namesCa name may influence many things and should be well chosenDwe should pay less attention to the meanings of names and be ourselvesCeilidh DanceWelcome to Edinburgh Ceilidh Club!

This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, youll probably buy more than you plan to. Unluckily, however, just this advice isnt enough for consumers (消费者) these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper advertisements. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, dont buy anything just because its cheaper than usual! “New and improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package (包装) influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (原料) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands(商标、牌子) and different size of the same brand.Another suggestions for consumers is to buy ordinary items(商品) instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in ordinary packages. These products are cheaper because producers dont spend much money on packing or advertising.The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores arent very attractive, and they u
