Growing up at a distance – geographical and emotional – from my unfriendly father
meant I always doubted his feelings for me. Until his final few days…...
I grew up completely lacking hugs. 31 of my parents was the cuddly (令人想拥抱的) type. Greetings involving kissing embarrassed me, and hugging generally just made me
feel 32 .
Then one hug 33 all that. One month before my 40th birthday my dad had a heart surgery. As he 34 , days later, he grabbed me and hugged me so 35 that I had to push with all my might(力气) to 36 my head from pressing down on his newly stitched
(缝合) chest.
It was a hug to 37 all those we had never had. Days later as he slowly started to gain 38 he told me for the first time ever that he 39 me, and through my tears I told him I loved him too.
I began planning how to bake him better – with carrot cakes, victoria sponges, jelly and ice cream. And I imagined wheeling him through the park and feeding him home-made goodies. Then he 40 .
I felt cheated. All my life I had 41 whether my dad loved me – I doubted it. Just as I got 42 that he did, he passed away.
My parents 43 when I was two years old and, while I had monthly contact with my dad, I used to 44 the visits to see him and my bitter stepmother and count the hours
until I could go home again. Each stay 45 in an uncomfortable slight and quick kiss on the cheek from Dad as he said goodbye—a moment I felt embarrassed and uncomfortable about for hours in advance.
46 , standing beside the hospital bed watching my sleeping father was painful. I
felt like a little girl at his bedside, 47 to talk to him yet again. I became fixated (异常依恋) with his fingers—fat and soft, lying gently beside him. Slowly they transformed from
fleshy sausages to stone—white and immovable. It was his fingers that told me he had 48 from this life.
49 time moved on my sadness and anger at his untimely death began to fade. I realized that his statement of me from his deathbed had filled a gaping hole of insecurity I
had constantly carried around.
To a child a hug says so many things. It tells you that the person hugging you loves you, cares 50 you. A hug also confirms that you are a lovable being.

BEIJING—Three Carrefour stores in Shanghai, three in Central China’s Hunan province and two in Southwest China’s Yunnan province have been fined 500,000 yuan ($76,000) each for overcharging customers.
A hearing（听证会）will be held to decide the final amount of the fines. Carrefour representatives will be able to respond to the charges at the hearing, according to regulators.

Some 53.3 percent of those polled said a lack of market supervision encouraged retailers to “dare” to en gage in deceptive pricing.

resulted in the false pricing.

WASHINGTON — President Obama and his wife, Michelle, handed out Halloween treats to area children and military families at the White House Sunday evening．Local students between 6 and 14 years old, along with children from military families, were invited to celebrate Halloween on the North Lawn．
The president and first lady, along with Mrs．Obama's mother, Marian Robinson, spent about 30 minutes passing out goodie bags．Obama wished each child a happy Halloween
as he distributed the treats, pausing occasionally for hugs or to comment on costumes．Later, the military families continued the celebration inside the White House．
The first couple joked to assembled reporters about children walking the long driveway
in order to work off （消化掉）the snacks ．"This is the Let's Move method of
trick-or-treating," Obama said, referring to Mrs．Obama's campaign to combat childhood obesity．
The goodie bags contained a box of White House M&Ms, a cookie made by pastry chef Bill Yosses, and dried fruit．
As they made their way across the lawn, the children meet a vast range of costumed characters ranging from a spooky Frankenstein （科学怪人,小说《弗兰肯斯坦》的主角）to the Scarecrow from "The Wizard of Oz．" Music from a jazz band dressed in pirate gear rang out across the White House grounds．
Multicolored pumpkins and gourds lined the driveway — individually, in gravity-defying stacks and as part of a large mound over 5 feet tall．Pumpkin-headed scarecrows （稻草人）made of cornstalks loomed over the path with menacingly raised arms．Under the White House portico, a mobile resembling bats flying through clouds fluttered around a lantern．Some of the local trick-or-treaters were students at Bancroft Elementary, which helps tend the first lady's White House garden, and Tubman Elementary, which has a relationship with the White House chefs．
After trick-or-treating ended, the Obamas stood near the front door, welcoming the military families inside, helping children climb the short flight of steps and thanking parents
for their service．

Some students get so nervous before a test that they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. He says that when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources which he calls ‘cognitive horsepower’ that students could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. What the two researchers think happens is when students put it down on paper, they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise（重新认识）the situation. They might realize it’s not as bad as they might think it was before and, in fact, it prevents these thoughts from popping up when they’re actually taking a test.”
The researchers tested the idea on a group of anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort. Finally, those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.
Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. As a result, highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.
What the experts have shown is that for highly test-anxious students, who do their writing intervention, all of a sudden, there is no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these testing situations.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
63. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. anxious students often do well in the exam
B. students usually get anxious before the exam
C. why anxious students can’t do well in the exam
D. a psychology professor who studies highly anxious test-takers
64. The underlined phrase ‘popping up’ means________.
C. disappearing suddenly
D. appearing suddenly and unexpectedly
65. In the second test, students who ________ did better.
A. sat quietly before the exam
B. couldn’t focus on the exam
C. felt nervous when taking the exam
D. had written about their feelings before the exam
66. Which is Not true according to the text?
A. Not all students feel anxious before the exam.
B. Students can write about their worries at home and in the library.
C. There is no relationship between test anxiety and performance for students in the exam.
D. Anxious students can improve their performance by writing about their fears before the
exam.

EBay will launch an online group gift-buying service today designed to make it easier
for several people to chip in, buy and pay for gifts using their social-network and e-mail contacts．
EBay North America Vice President Christopher Payne says it is going to be a major
step forward in social commerce, which is the still-small practice of selling products through social networks．Online retail experts aren't as certain, but eBay says the new tool makes it easier for friends and relatives to chip in （凑钱）for gifts because it eliminates the headache of collecting contributions．It can also be used for family members to pitch in to buy, say, an expensive child seat for a mother．
Anything on eBay that's available immediately, rather than up for bid, can be purchased this way starting today at groupgifts．eBay．com．If members of an extended family wanted
to buy a gift for one member, one person would choose a gift — or have one recommended by eBay — and invite family members to chip in using Facebook or e-mail．Those who wanted to join in would choose an amount to contribute （or agree to pay a requested amount）and pay using either PayPal or a credit card．They could also add a personal note．If enough people don't chip in, the organizer can ask people to contribute more or choose a less expensive gift．
"I see myself using this most in cases when I typically might not buy someone what they want because of price," says Nitzan Shaer of Boston, who was part of an online test of the site．
EBay, with its 200 million products, millions of sellers and mobile commerce proficiency,
is a logical place to pull together the products, groups of buyers and payment tools, Payne says．
At least 12 sites, such as FrumUs．com and eDivvy．com, facilitate （便于,利于）group purchases but don't sell products．Although a handful of retailers, including Victoria's Secret and 1-800-Flowers, sell products through Facebook, Payne says he expects social commerce will take off as rapidly as shopping using mobile devices．EBay did more than $600 million in sales on mobile devices last year and expects mobile sales to increase to $1．5 billion this year．
Although one in five consumers surveyed said they'd used Facebook for shopping in
the past year, 88% said they would not be buying holiday gifts through a social network, mobile phone or smartphone．Of these, 26% were reluctant because of security or privacy concerns, and 20% were unclear about the benefits of using phones or Facebook to shop．67．What procedure should be followed if your extended family intends to buy your grandpa an 80th birthday gift?
①Asking family members to contribute more money if enough members don’t chip in
②Choosing a gift at groupgifts．eBay．com
③Paying using PayPal or a credit card
④Contributing or agreeing to pay a requested amount of money via Facebook or e-mail
A．②-①-③-④C．②-④-①-③B．①-③-②-④D．②-③-④-①
68．Where can we most probably read this text?
A．In a research paper C．In a microblog B．In a travel magazine D．On a website
69．What does “it” mean in the 2nd paragraph?
A．The online group gift-buying service
B．People’s social-network and e-mail contacts
C．A major step forward in social commerce
D．The still-small practice of selling products through social networks
70．It can be inferred from the text that ______．
A．through eBay’s new tool, 200 million products on eBay are available to online shoppers
B．social commerce can eliminate the headache of collecting contributions
C．eBay’s new tool will gain mass adoption by online shoppers
D．with the help of eBay’s new tool, FrumUs．com and eDivvy．com will also sell products

Tourism
Tourism is becoming a booming industry in our country. It promotes the development of economy as well as the development of hotels and shopping facilities, and jobs are created for local people, too.
Still, the arrival of visitors pushes the businesses in transportation and things of local color. Local people then benefit from these improvements. Meanwhile, the amusement parks, zoos and other scenes will gradually be developed to attract more and more tourists. What’s more, tourism is favourable for the exchange of culture and science between people from different countries.
