However, folklorists view myths and legends as two completely different entities. The primary distinction is that myths typically involve magical or supernatural beings, while legends are based on the lives of ordinary individuals.Urban legends are effective in that they play upon our greatest fears. Rationally we are aware that the majority of these tales are false rumors that have been circulated far and wide, varying in degree in their retelling. However, as emotional beings we do occasionally fall under their spell. Interestingly, these legends do, at times, turn out to be either partly or completely true, which further justifies and expands our belief in them. Today's urban legends are typically cautionary accounts designed with the intention of keeping us on firm moral ground or frightening children into proper behaviour. The majority of modern urban legends centre around every topic imaginable, from supernatural events to Internet and email scams (骗局).We are all familiar with the popular legend of the kind-hearted soul who picks up a hitchhiker, usually a female, who then mysteriously disappears once her destination has been reached. The driver always discovers soon after that his apparent passenger has long been deceased. Also, many a child has delayed eating their Halloween candy until they returned home for it's proper parental inspection for hidden razor blades. Further,there are countless rumors regarding internal organs being cooked as the result of prolonged exposure to tanning beds, stomachs exploding from mixing Pop Rocks candy with cola, and alligators living in the sewers of the city of New York. Most of these urban legends have no basis in reality, nor have they ever been verified.Tales do exist, which supposedly contain at least some level of truth. Halloween stunts portraying fakehangings apparently have resulted in people accidentally hanging themselves. Individuals have, particularly in past times, been mistakenly presumed dead and buried alive. And, there have supposedly been dead bodies discovered under hotel mattresses after guests have complained of a foul odor in their room. Of course, it may never be possible to truly know whether any of these stories are valid, and if they are, it is usually assumed that their occurrence is rare.Urban legends continue to fascinate and intrigue us. The question of their validity is of little consequence in terms of their power to captivate our attention. Some urban legends are short-lived, while others remain over time to teach, caution, or simply, make us laugh at their ridiculousness.1. Folklorists think the major difference between myths and legends is that ______D__________.A. legends are more believable than mythsB. myths can be traced back to earlier agesC. legends are usually scary while myths are notD. they are about different beings respectively2. Many people believe urban legends because_________C_______.A. they never doubt the truthfulness of the storiesB. they have a confiding (轻信的) natureC. the fear roused by the stories worksD. urban legends are usually based on daily life3. What can be learnt about current urban legends from Paragraph 2? AA. They cover a wide range of topics.B. The content of them is more imaginative.C. They sound scarier to children.D. They are spread more widely.4. Parents will check the Halloween candy because ________B________.A. they have ever found dangerous things in itB. it is said that there may be razor blades in itC. they want to see whether the candy is nutritiousD. they don't allow their children to eat candy5. As for the truth of legends, the author thinks ________C________.A. all of them are trueB. they can be verified sooner or laterC. some of them come trueD. it's stupid to believe themQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage.There are a lot of contamination stories that have to do with the unintentional injection of drugs. One particularly widespreadlegend reports that drug dealers have been coating temporary tattoos (纹身) with LSD (幻觉剂). The dealers give these tattoos to children, who put them on and absorb the LSD through their skin. Supposedly, this is a scheme to get the kids addicted to LSD so they become regular customers (a particularly doubtful notion, since LSD does not seem to be physically addictive). Despite repeated public announcements that this story is not true, concerned people continue to spread the word about these drug-laced (掺有毒品的) tattoos, posting warnings in police stations, schools and other public places.Not all urban legends deal with such morbid, weighty issues. Many of them have no cautionary or moral element at all: They are simply amusing stories or ordinary jokes told as if the y really occurred. One common "news story" reports that a man took out an insurance policy on an expensive box of cigars, smoked them all and then tried to collect a claim, saying that they had been damaged in a fire. Another tale tells of a drunk driver who is pulled over by the police. The officer asks the man to step out of the car for a sobriety test, but just as the test is about to begin, a car veers into a ditch up the road. The officer runs to help the other driver, and the drunk man takes the opportunity to flee the scene. When he gets home, he falls fast asleep on the couch. In the morning, he hears a loud knocking on his door and opens it to find the police officer from the night before. The man swears up and down he was home all night, until the officer asks to have a look in his garage. When he opens the door, he's shocked to see the officer's police cruiser parked there instead of his own car.This story about the police car, in various forms, has spread all over the world. It even made it into the movie Good WillHunting, relayed by one of the characters as if it had happened to one of his friends.6.

DA. to check if a driver has got a driving licenseB. to find out whether a car is a stolen oneC. to see whether there are drugs in a carD. to test whether a driver is conscious enough9.

So, what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.The cheerful Mr Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dickens, is seen in illustrations as someone who is plump—and happy. In 18th century paintings beauty is equated with rounded bodies and soft curves.But nowadays being overweight is seen as indicating neither a cheerful character nor beauty but an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes (糖尿病).So what do you do? Diet? Not according to England's chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson. He says that physical activityis the key for reducing the risks of obesity, cancer and heart disease. And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that being inactive is as serious a risk factor in heart disease as smoking.So, having bought some cross trainers, how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Is going to the gym the answer? Luckily for those who find treadmills (跑步机) tedious, the Health Development Agency believes that physical activity that fits into people's lives may be more effective. They suggest taking the stairs rather than the lift, walking up escalators, playing active games with your children, dancing or gardening. And according to a sports psychologist, Professor Biddle, gyms are not making the nation fit, and may even cause harm.There's new scientific evidence that too much exercise may actually be bad for you. Scientists at the University of Ulster have found that unaccustomed aerobic exercise releases dangerous free radicals that can adversely affect normal function in unfit people. The only people who should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trained athletes.So, should we forget about gyms and follow some expert's advice to reduce sedentary (久坐的) activities and increase exercise in our daily life? After all, getting off the bus a stop early and walking the rest of the way can't do any harm! One final thought: How come past generations lacked gym facilities but were leaner and fitter than people today?11. According to the passage, what should we do to avoid obesity? DA.

The more physical activity, the better.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage.Whatever the world thinks of the US these days, American labels dominate this year's annual Business-Week ranking of the 100 most valuable global brands. US brands claimed 62 places, including 8 of the top 10 spots. The ranking is based on a detailed analysis of how much of each product's sales are driven by the brand name, weighted for such other factors as market leadership, stability, and the ability to cross national borders.What is it, exactly, that's keeping US brands aloft? Credit a combination of smart brand management and sheer luck. That American brands are born and nurtured in the world's largest and most eclectic (包容的) economy confers a huge advantage. By the time they venture overseas, issues of quality, consistency, and logistics have largely been resolved. And many brands have been in the global market-place for so long that few consumers can say with any certainty where they originated.At the same time, American marketers have worked hard to imbue their products with American values that are still attractive overseas. "I think the core values of Levi's—democracy, freedom, independence—certainly are viewed as the best of America and its virtues," says Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Philip. Marineau, whose brand still struggles at home but is coveted in markets such as Asia. Far more important, marketers have learned to weave their products into the local culture by hiring local managers and adapting everything from packaging to serving sizes to flavours to the local market.For other brands, however, victory overseas means adheringstrictly to the formulas that propelled them to the top in the US. Take for example Dell Inc., which added 12% in brand value this year, to $10.4 billion. It has strived to replicate (复制) exactly the model that made it famous at home. That means mass customization, direct-to-the-buyer sales, and fast turnaround. Today, Dell is the largest foreign seller of PCs in China and is going strong in Europe.Some brands have overcome an anti-American prejudice by appealing to shared values. Nike's "Just do it" message of individual empowerment and athletic achievement plays as well in Jakarta as it does in Jefferson City. The emotional appeal has proven especially powerful in regions such as Western Europe and Asia, where Nike is racking up the greatest sales growth.16.
