We dont stop, we keep our faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead, and in doing so, we are not just protecting ourselves but are avoiding overloading other people as well.We make use of stereotypes (刻板的模式) as convenient ways to make quick judgements about situations and people around us. They may not always be accurate, and they can often be dangerously wrong, but they are used regularly.The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict experience. By using limited clues to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people or places we may choose to limit our communication. We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe they will not offer something we enjoy.In the city, styles of dress are particularly important with regard to self-presentation. Different groups often use clearly identifiable styles of clothes so that they can be easily recognized. It is becoming increasingly common for brand names to be placed on the outside of clothes, and this labeling makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly, and lets others tell at a distance whether an individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associate with.In England, where social grouping or class continues to make social distinctions（区分）, clothes, hairstyles, peoples pronunciation and the manner of speaking are all clues to our social group. Class distinctions tend to be relatively fixed, although in the city where greater variety is permitted, they are more likely to be secondary determining factors of friendship and association.1. People walking in cities ignore the surroundings because _.A. they do not wish to talk to other people B. everyone else is expressionlessC. the environment is already familiar to them D. there is too much information to take in2.According to the passage, the main disadvantage of using stereotypes is that they _.A. are likely to lead us into dangerous situations B. may make us miss some pleasant experienceC. can rarely be relied on D. make us mentally lazy3. From the passage we may conclude that _.A. stereotypes can help to understand people fully B. people are becoming more interested in fashionC. dressing can send messages about individuals D. stereotypes can do more harm than good to people4. It would appear that in England, a persons class _.A. might be less important in making friends in a city B. is mainly determined by his pronunciationC. plays less of a role than it did in the past D. is something that can be changed easily BLying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲豹)saw Jeb and his son, Tom before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar, It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougars enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb. “Tom, no” shouted his father. But Tom broke and ran and thats the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougars claws(爪子)got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled（吼叫）and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father. “Knife, Tom, ” shouted Jeb.The boy ran to his fathers bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougars attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougars back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains. The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.5.

Blues is slow, sad, and sorrowful. 18 In the words of the song, “You aint been blue, till youve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad. The color green is natural for trees and grass.

A Brownout is an expression for a reduction in electric power. Brownouts happen when there is too much demand for electricity. The electric system is unable to offer all the power needed in an area.
