The French are the best. It's the Germans who don't have a good habit of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn't seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that they move alongfaster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said," I' m terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a queue. Do go before me. " People smiled and said. "Oh, that's all right, one more won't matter much. "It was also found in France, where 80％of the people didn't mind standing in line only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, "If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster."56. The research shows that the people in _______ are the most polite in standing in line.A. SwedenB. BritainC. FranceD. Germany57. The Germans spend more time than the British in queues because they __________.A. always talk a lot with othersB. like waiting in lineC. don't follow the rule of queuingD. don't know the rule of queuing58. According to the research, which of the following is TRUE ?A. The British didn't care about the queue jumper.B. The Germans were angry with the queue jumper.C. The French treated the queue jumper badly.D. The Swedish enjoyed themselves while queuing.59. From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could__________.A. have a good habit of standing in lineB. save others' time while queuingC. move quickly when queuingD. take exercise in queues60. The result of the research shows that__________.A. people in Europe hate waiting in lineB. standing in line is a kind of exerciseC. there are always queue jumpers all over the worldD. people who are good at standing in line think they move along faster第Ⅱ卷 (共50分)五、任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)Nowadays in school life，a lot of students develop a fear of tests. It’s not because tests are something to be afraid of. Most students are afraid of tests mainly because they don’t have enough self-confidence and they don’t always think they are well prepared. If you follow the tips below, it’s not difficult to overcome(克服)your fear of tests.People who know that they are not well-prepared are usually those who fear test most. However, most studentsdon’t know when they are truly prepared for a test. As long as(只要)you know that you have studied well and long enough, you have a reason to believe that you are well-prepared.Be confident about yourself. Confidence before a test can bring about two things: either you fail the test and feel as if your confidence was unfounded(毫无根据)or you could actually do well in the test because of your confidence. Some students find that they experience the first result. However, this is only because those students might not have followed the first tip mentioned above. As long as you have studied well, you will be more confident of your chance to succeed in a test. If you feel as if you have not studied hard enough, then you will not be as confident as you should be.Ask your teacher about the main points that may be covered in the test while getting ready for the test. In this way, you will know what you should prepare for and you can get confidence in the test. But you have to be brave enough to ask. Most students do not ask if their teacher doesn’t give the information first, so make sure that you ask.You should know that tests just check your knowledge and don’t lose heart because of one test failure. As long as you think that there is another tomorrow, you can overcome your fear of a test. However, make sure that you are going to prepare well for the other tests.Fear can be a problem in the process of achieving success. However, with the right attitude(态度)and preparations, you can overcome your fear of tests by using these tips.Title: 1 to overcome your fear of tests2Prepare wellYou should make good preparations.If you have studied well and long enough, you would 3that you are well-prepared.Be 4Confidence before a test can have two 5 .●You could fail the test and feel as if your confidence wasunfounded.●Your confidence could lead to your 6 in the test.Confidence comes from 7 hard enough.Ask your teacher You can ask your teacher what the test may 8 .Hold a positiveattitudeKeep in mind that tests just 9 your knowledge.
