七、阅读理解。

A
Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally (文化的) programmed. In other words, we learn our looks—we are not born with them. A baby has generally unformed face features (特征). A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows (眉毛) by looking at those around—family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than do people in small towns.

4. People who live _______ are more friendly.

It’s not unusual for parents to stay with sick children round the clock. But the floor nurses noticed something special about Kathy. She was always smiling even on days when Michael was very ill or received bad news about blood tests. “It was never about Kathy or the sacrifices she was making,” says Debra, one of Michael’s nurses.“She never let Michael see how hard this was on her.”
One day, Michael told one of the nurses, Felice, that he was so impressed by what she and the other nurses did, he planned to enroll in the nursing program when he was healthy enough to go back to college.
Michael always believed he would conquer the disease. He’d done so with other hurdles in his life. Born a premature (早产的婴儿), he overcame a learning disability and was admitted into a regular classroom by the third grade. Despite good grades, he did poorly on his SATs, the college entrance exam. He gave up a trip to take a summer prep program at Widener University, south of Philadelphia, then entered as a freshman that fall. He was always told he was too short to play sports, yet he managed to become a linebacker (后卫球员) on Widener’s Division Ⅲfootball team.
When the third round of chemo (化疗) was finished, Michael returned home to await the results. A few weeks later, Kathy and Matthew were extremely sad when Selina Luger, the doctor in charge of Michael’s illness, pulled them aside in the hall of the clinic, out of Michael’s earshot，and told them, “The chemo didn’t work. Michael’s incurable.”
Matthew was shell-shocked at the news. Like his son, he always believed they would beat this. This can’t be the end of it, he tried to convince himself. Kathy wept against a hallway window while Dr. Luger and Matthew walked into an exam room.
6. We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.
A. Kathy didn’t care about her son’s illness
B. Kathy made fe w sacrifices for her son’s illness
C. Kathy cared much about her son’s illness but never showed her anxiety
D. Kathy didn’t feel sad despite her son’s illness

A. Two.
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.
8. What do we know about Michael from the passage?
A. He was born with the deadly disease.
B. He enrolled in the nursing program before he went to college.
C. He did well in his study in high school.
D. He acted as a linebacker just because he was too tall.
9. We can conclude from the passage that Michael’s father _______.
A. thought his son would make a recovery
B. was disappointed with his son’s disease
C. was sure that his son would be better very soon
D. doubted if his son would be well
C
In the USA Forbes magazine has published its annual list of the richest people in the world. Bill Gates of Microsoft is the richest man again for the eleventh successive year with a fortune of forty-four billion dollars.
There are a record 691 dollar billionaires according to Forbes magazine. Between them they have a fortune of two point two trillion dollars. The highest concentration of the ultra rich is in New York followed by Moscow and San Francisco and then London and Los Angeles. But in total the very wealthy live in forty-seven different countries with Iceland, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Poland entering the list for the first time this year.
Laksmi Mittal, an Indian born steel tycoon (巨头) enjoyed the biggest increase in personal fortune. His net worth has quadrupled (变成四倍) to thirteen billion dollars making him the world’s third richest man. Ingvar Kamprad, founder of the Swedish furniture chain Ikea, also saw a big increase in wealth taking him to the sixth place. Developing countries make more of a showing than in past years —there are for example three Russians and four Indians in the top sixty richest people, though surprisingly perhaps none from China excluding Hong Kong. Asian wealth is probably underrepresented as it’s usually spread among families whereas Forbes looks at individuals. Relatively few women feature in the list—among them is JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels ranked 620th with a fortune of 519 million dollars. New entrants to the list include the founders of the Internet search group Google Sergie Brin and Larry Page, each worth more than seven billion dollars after their company’s recent stock market debut.
