AIt seemed like a typical November day，two years ago，as I walked out of the convenience store，Walgreens. It was just a month after my grandmother had passed away and I spent my days running useless errands（跑腿）hoping to fill the loss in my heart. I was angry because I couldn't even remember what I went there to buy but I ended up spending over＄20 on nonsense just to waste time and money，both of which I didn’t have.I was mad and confused at everyone in the store，especially，a young girl walking through the store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was begging her grandmother for ice cream just like I used to when I was little. Who knew that I，an 18 year old，could be jealous of the three-year-old little girl，but I was，because at the end of the day she had something I didn’t have any more. ----- A grandmother by her side.Feeling tired and hopeless，I began walking to my car. Suddenly，a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window. “Exc use me，excuse me，”she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot，I simply pointed to my car. “No，excuse me，”she said again. She handed me a three- page booklet（小册子）．“It looks like you need this.” she said calmly with a warm smile on h er face.I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used book. But by the time 1 looked up，she was gone. I didn't know what it was exactly, but I knew that , if my grandmother had anything to do with this，I didn't want to let it go.I felt a sense of relaxation as I opened the first page. It explained how peoplepass on，but their spirit remains with us. This was the first time since my grandma had passed that I felt her being with me，just like I had wanted. I finally felt happiness from the surprising change in events.I couldn't，a nd still can't，believe what had happened to me on that day. It was real. It was a miracle（奇迹）．And，I'11 remember it for the rest of my life.21.

They are seen as the uniform of the high-flying career businesswoman，but it seems trouser suits are not the best way to make a good first impression.Research has shown women who wear skirts and jackets are considered as more confident，higher-earning and easier to adjust to society than those wearing a trouser suit.Scientists also found that opinions of others，based just on the clothes they are wearing，are formed within seconds of first meeting. So while trouser suits are linked with strong will and success，a skirt suit gives a better first impression.Professor Karen Pine，who co-led the research at the department of psychologyat the University of Herttordshire，said，“We make very rapid judgments about people within the first few seconds of meeting based on their cloth ing.”“It was surprising that studies have suggested that women who dress in a more mannish style were seen as having greater professional status（职业形象）．The ski rt suit seems to balance professionalism with attractiveness，”added Pine.Researchers showed 306 volunteers a series of pictures of a man or a woman wearing suit before asking them to rate on a number of personality traits（个性特征）. The facial features of the man and woman in the pictures had been covered ，so the volunteers were only making judgments about what they were wearing.The woman was rated more confident and having a higher salary and easy to adjust to society when she was wearing skirt suits.25. The text mainly talks aboutA. women wearing skirt suits seem to be more successful in societyB. trouser suits are not suitable fo r career businesswomenC. mannish style suits are viewed as having greater professional statusD. we can make rapid judgments about people just based on their clothing26. Ac cording to the text，women wearing skirt suits seem to＿．A. be more attractive and confidentB. be more beautiful and professionalC. have a higher salary and positionD. have stronger will and competence27. Researchers showed volunteers pictures of men or women in order toA. make judgment about the difference between their looksB. make judgment about who looks more attractiveC. distinguish the different personality traitsD. offer evidence to their research28. We can infer from the text that＿．A. women wearing skirt suits will be more successful than menB. women wearing trouser suits won't be successfulC. skirt suits will help women make it in hunting a jobD. suits will bring people more good luckCWhy do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behaviors? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them. According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first sip (小口) of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette —it tastes awful. So even though smoking and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) that you need will power to resist, they neve start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits aren’t self-control failures —far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.29. What do most people think causes bad behavior?A. Being forced by others.B. Not having enough will power.C. Enjoying their first experiences.D. Following the examples of their friends.30. The author mentions his experience in the Second paragraph to prove ____.A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimesB. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersC. self-control should be developed when one is youngD. everyone can be challenged by different temptations31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My First Sip of BeerB. Do You Have Will Power ?C. Will Power Benefits UsD. Dark Side of Self-controlDSometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and th at other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The“in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim managers to sell their images as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can peopl e permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is ‘‘in”, fat is “out”.It’ s not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for people’s obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed sincelast century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate , millions of people are spending more of their time exercising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.32. What does the word “taboo’’ refer to in the passage?A. A crime committed on impulse.B. An unfavorable impression left on other people.C. A strong desire to do something strange or terrible.D. Behavior considered unacceptable to the society.33. What does the underlined phrase “in” look probably mean?A. The fashionable look.B. The hidden look.C. The usual look.D. The inside look.34. According to the passage, the common belief is that _________.A. fat people are full of energyB. thin people are more successfulC. fat people prefer to have fat bossesD. thin people are less image-conscious35. People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of _________.A. their need to kill timeB. their love for sportsC. their concern for healthD. their belief in hard work 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
