These rules are not officially established, but people do respect them. For example, on a bus, a person keeps a distance from another person, and people don’t like to touch each other. Many people come to work late because they prefer to wait for another bus if the fi rst one is too crowded. They don’t want to have to stand too close to another person, or maybe they are afraid of starting a conversation.A friend of mine in Colombia once said his mom got angry because he came home late, so he asked her, “Mom, what do you think of most people arriving at their jobs so late?” That gave her the answer to her question since everyone knows no one wants to get on a bus that is too crowded. His mother realized at that moment that customs have a big influence on a person’s life.Sometimes, people don’t like to make any kind of conversation or make eye contact(接触) with others. For example, when they are in line at a bank, they prefer to look up or down rather than look at other people.Moreover, people usually look down when they are in an elevator. Not only on a bus, in line at a bank, and in an elevator do people usually avoid talking to other people, but also in the streets when they are walking, they prefer to look down and to avoid contact with others.56. Why do many people get to work late in Colombia?A. They always think the next bus will be better.B. They don’t want to get on crowded buses.C. It’s an official rule in Colombia.D. They get into conversations and miss their buses.57. From the text we learn that .A. customs influence people’s livesB. a mother always understands her sonC. people respect each other in ColombiaD. people like to talk in elevators in Colombia58.

What People Do in Different SituationsB. Avoid Getting on a Crowded BusC. Special Customs in ColombiaD. Obeying Unwritten RulesBNow, it is winter and as you have probably noticed, virus(病毒) are everywhere — runny noses, sore throats, nothing quite like the common cold to make you feel so uncomfortable. But experts believe that there is no link between cold weather and catching colds. So why are we particularly easy to catch colds this season?Internal Medicine expert, Dr Meenakshi Jain of Max Hospital says, “One reason could be because people are likely to stay indoors, so the virus can spread easily. Also the virus grows strong and healthy under wet conditions.”The common cold can be caused by any of up to 250 kinds of virus. The most common group of them is the kind of virus that hits the nose, which is called rhinovirus. Rhinoviruses cause a third and half of all common colds.“This kind of virus is spread through the nose and respiratory passages(呼吸道), by touch, and by contact with particles(微粒) in the air that are created by sneezing or coughing.” Says Dr Jain.There is no way to treat the common cold. However, there are some tips that can help. Wash your hands regularly, so that germs get killed. Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth, which can limit your chances of infection(传染). Don’t share drinking glasses with anyone as this will prevent the spread of the virus. Drink lots of water. Make sure to eat enough fruits to boost your immune system(免疫系统). Get enough sleep and you’ll certainly become stronger.60. What does the writer think will make you suffer most?A. Runny noses.B. The winter.C. Sore throats.D. The common cold.61. A third and half of all common colds are caused by .A. the cold weather in the winterB. the virus that hits people’s noseC. the condition of the human bodyD. the warm temperature in the room62. The underlined word “boost” in the last paragraph probably means .A. improveB. treatC. changeD. Damage63. In the l ast paragraph, the writer mainly wants to tell us .A. some ways for the virus to spreadB. the common cold can not be treatedC. some tips on how to keep the cold awayD. exercise is important to people’s healthCMaking friends is a skill like most skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone. Join a club or a group. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activities. Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us or finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.Try to act self-confident even if you don’t feel that w ay. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person—Friendship is based on the same interests and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop.64. The best title of the text may be .A. FriendshipB. How To Make FriendsC. Meeting New PeopleD. Facing The Unknown65. You cannot make friends if you .A. avoid meeting peopleB. go to the peopleC. take some actionD. start a conversation66. Friendship is based on .A. self-confidenceB. meeting more unknown peopleC. more talking and smiling to peopleD. interests, taking from and giving to people67. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Making friends needs practicing.B. Making friends needs to be more active in getting in touch with people.C. When meeting someone, make him feel nice and easy.D. Before making friends with someone, judge if he’s too this or too that.DA weekend guideHere is your weekend guide to what is going on at the university of Colorad o…And it is a good weekend for football.

Morgan was worried about the large number of terrible fires in the factories of his city. He wanted to make something that would protect the people who had to fight the fire. They were often hurt. Sometimes they were killed by gas and smoke. They needed something that would help them put out fires quickly and safely.Morgan developed the safety hood(头罩). It was a hood to be worn over the face. Two tubes(软管) ran down the back leading to an air trap([空气阀] of clean air below.
