How often do you think about fighting germs?•Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.•Step：Be aware of germs.

About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day37. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands .A. twice a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD. eight times a day38. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.C．A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.39. The text probably comes from __________.A. a guide bookB. a popular magazineC. a book review D .an official documentBAre you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it ashalf full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and thatgenerally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that ifsomething is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of thesequestions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic,cheerful and outgoing. You may well be successful at work and inlove.But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example，you may fail to obtain a new job，another chance will come around soon), Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams in your face. That's bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists (悲观者) have suspected all along. It's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation’s outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better. ”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” and “ Don’t count your chickens until they hatch. “ To have a confident and optimistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien，the American comedian says, ”Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.40. What is the passage mainly about?A. A book that has recently been published.B. The dangers of being too optimistic.C. How to become successful in life.D. The benefits of defensive pessimism.41. The u nderlined sentence “This is not rocket science” in paragraph 4 means ______.A. it is quite simple to understandB. there is no real proofC. it’s not a dangerous thing to doD. the cost is not so high42. The writer would probably describe himself as ______.A. an optimistB. a defeatistC. a realistD. a scientist43. Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?A. “Every cloud has a silver lining.”B. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”C. “Whatever will be, will be.”D. “The glass is half full not half empty.”CAccording to sociologists（社会学家）, every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification（阶层）. Class, power and status are important in deciding people’s rank in society.Class means a person’s economic position in society. A commonly used classification is lower cla ss, middle class and upper class. While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well. One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class. Interestingly, a surgeon earning ＄500,000 a year and a bus driver earning ＄50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. Obviously, people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise（行使）big power, but people who take orders from others have less power. Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however. For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding （相应的）economic class. Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class. To our knowledge, there aren’t too many people who aren’t millionaires in the U.S. Senate!Status is the honor or respect attached to a person’s position in society. It can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.44. What can we learn about “the middle class” from Paragraph 2?A. People earning ＄50,000 a year belong to the middle class.B. Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class.C. People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class.D. Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class.45. According to the text, we know that _____.A. power and class do not always correspond with each otherB. status refers to a person’s economic position in societyC. people with high status have a lot of control over othersD. class is less important in deciding a person ’s social rank46. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A B C D P=paragraphDIt had been a long time since I had been to Jacksonville, Florida. I had driven to town hoping to see the old barber shop where my hair had been cut as a child.I parked my truck and decided to try and locate a telephone to see if the Florida Barber College had moved to a new location.After walking about a block I saw an open shoe store. I walked inside and asked if I could use their telephone book. Unable to find a listing for the Barber College, I picked out the number of a local beauty salon, hoping they might tell me if the barber college was still in business. The number was busy, so I decided to wait and try again in a few minutes.As the salesman and I stood talking the front door opened and a young man about twenty came into the store pushing himself in a wheelchair. “I need a new pair of shoes,” said the customer. As he turned the corner, there was a blanket across his lap. I was shocked to see that the young man had no legs.“A gift for a friend?” I asked the boy. “No,” he replied. They are for me,” he continued, with a smile on his face. I just smiled back and watched to see what would happen next.“What type of shoe would you like?” asked the clerk. “How about a pair of cowboy boots?” The man pointed to the back wall where three or four pairs of boots were displayed. The salesman, sharply turning, headed off to the backroom.“Isn’t this fun?” the boy asked me. I moved my hand to let him know that I did not understand his question. “When I was a kid, my parents used to buy me a new pair of shoes every year. That was such a wonderful feeling. Something I have never forgotten. The smell of the leather and the pride I felt when I walked around the store showing off my new shoes.”The salesman came walking down the aisle with a large box. He sat it down on the floor, took out one boot P1 P4 P3 P2 P2 P1 P4 P3 P3 P2 P1 P2 P3 P4P4 P1and handed it to the young man. The boy closed his eyes. He placed the boot against his nose, and drew in a large breath. I did not know what to say as tears began to fall on the young man’s cheeks.“What type of accident did you have?” I asked him.“Farm accident,” he said, as he tried to clear his voice.“Do you want the cowboy boots?” the salesman asked him.“Oh, yes!” he answered.“I see buying a new pair of shoes still gives you that good feeling you talked about,” I told the young man, as I smiled.“Yes it does.” he said “And I may have someone, and his feet to share it with some day.”47. Why did the young man want to buy a new pair of shoes?A. Because he bought a pair every year.B. Because he wanted to send a new pair to a friend.C. Because he hoped to keep it for memory.D. Because he enjoyed the feeling of possessing a newpair.48.
