You can be surprised when you pay your bill.When you arrive,a doorman greets you,and a porter takes your bags. Tip the porter atleast $ 1 per bag. If the doorman calls a taxi for you, tip him $ 1. If he has to stand out in the rain,you might want to tip more.The porter takes the bags to your room. Sometimes the desk clerk will direct you to the room,and the porter will follow with the bags. The porter or bellman will open and show you the room. If y ou don’t like the room,ask the porter to call the front desk about a replacement.The next thing you should do,no matter what sort of hotel, is to find the emergency and fire exits.

As a child, Tina was a violinist and spent her free time practicing and practicing. One day she participated in a violin contest and realized that she would never be more than an ordinary violinist and that she enjoyed singing more. She gave up the violin, took up singing and became a leading international opera singer. Her courage to give up is what allowed her to become a world famous opera singer. Now try to guess what these somewhat successful people have in common-Larry Page,Tiger Woods,John McEnroe and John Steinbeck. Yes, they all dropped out of Stanford. Look at many other successful people and I bet their past is also filled with things they did at one time and then gave up. There are a number of cognitive(认知的）processes that make it hard for us to leave our present situation and move ) on to something new—even when we feel miserable with the present situation. We think “I've invested so much in this already. If I quit,all will have been wasted. M Once we have something,we hate to lose it. Things we don’t have yet don’t carry the same value. These cognitive thoughts might help explain why people stay stuck in bad jobs, bad marriages, unhappy friendship,etc.To sum up, sometimes you’ve got to stick with somethings even through tough times；but sometimes you have to have the courage to give up. You have to be open to the fact that sometimes giving up is the right way forward.24.What can be learned about Tina Kiberg?A.She used to be a violin player.B.Her talent in violin was ignored.C.She was forced to give up the violin.D.She considered herself the best violinist.25.What do we know about many successful people from Para. 2?A.They felt miserable in universities.B.They were faced with many failures.C.They usually have nothing in common.D.They know well when to give something up.26.Why are people unwilling to give up according to Para 3?A.Because they have wasted too much.B.Because they stay stuck in bad conditions.C.Because they are afraid of losing what they have.D.Because they feel miserable with the present situation.27.What is the author’s comment on “giving up” according to the passage?A.It carries little value.B.It leads to hard times.C.It is sometimes a better choice.D.It is always very important to be successful.Question 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.Regular exercise can help you build stronger muscles, shake off illnesses?and make your cloth es fit a whole lot better. But there’s another benefit: even moderate exercise seems to take years off your age. Of course, you cant change your age, but exercise can improve your health so that you look and feel younger than you are.Exercise gives you more energy. Exercise fires up your brain and body so you feel more energetic. Exercise puts your body in a state of excitement,which means more vitality and a greater sense of well being. Daily tasks become less tiring and require less effort. It's the kind of energy that makes you feel like you are a decade or two younger.Exercise keeps your skin soft and glowing. Researchers studied a small group of adults between ages 20 and 84. The frequent exercisers who were over age 40 had skin that resembled the younger skin of people in their 20s and 30s. The difference had nothing to do with sun exposure, which would age your skin faster, reported the research team, they guess that exercise creates body substances that help slow aging in skin, though they say more research is needed to learn how exercise works.Moreover,exercise helps you sleep soundly. Restful sleep is like a fountain of youth, and exercise helps you achieve it. Research shows that regular exercisers fall asleep more easily and are more likely to experience deep sleep. Exercise tires you out,sure,but there's v more to it than that. Sleeping well helps all the systems in your body function optimally,so d you're less likely to suffer sleeplessness. A recent study finds that getting at least 150 minutes of exercise per week improves sleep quality by 65%.28.What do we know about sun exposure according to the passage?A.It leads to faster aging in skin.B.It encourages more exercise.C.It makes the exerciser sweat.D.It creates body substances.29.What can we learn from Para, 3?A.The researchers think exercise helps the skin work faster.B.The researchers are not sure how exercise works on skin.C.Exercise brings more sun exposure to the skin.D.Exercise only works on people under 40.30.How does exercise affect people's sleep?A.

Exercise and Sounder Sleep,B. Exercise and Stronger Muscles.C. Exercise Increases Sun Exposure.D. Exercise Makes You Look Younger. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.Every year, Americans throw away 50 billion food and drink cans, 27 billion glass bottles and jars, and 65 billion can covers. More than 30% of our waste is packaging materials. Where does it all go? Some 85% of our garbage is sent to a dump,or a landfill, where h can take from 100 to 400 years for things like cloth and aluminum （铝）to decompose. Glass has been found in perfect condition after 4,000 years in the earth!We are quickly running out of space. It's time to learn the three R's of the environment ：reduce, reuse,and recycle.Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. For example：you can buy products that don't have a lot of packaging. You can also look for things that are packed in materials that don't require a lot of energy or resources to produce. Instead of buying something you're not going to use very often, borrow it from someone you know. Save energy by turning off lights that you are not using.Instead of throwing things away,try to find ways to use them again! Bring cloth bags to the store with you instead of taking home new paper or plastic bags. You can use these bags again and again. Plastic containers and reusable lunch bags are great ways to take your lunch to school without creating waste. Use all writing paper on both sides.In some towns you can leave your recyclables in bins outside your homeland a truck will come and collect them regularly. Other towns have recycling centers where you can drop off the materials you've collected. Things like paper and plastic grocery bags, plastic and aluminum cans and bottles can often be brought to the grocery store for recycling. Whatever your system is,it's important to remember to clean and sort your recyclables!32.What does the first paragraph tell us?A.How much waste Americans produce annually.B.How many things Americans waste each year.C.How a landfill contains waste.D.How long glass can endure.33.What does the word decompose (Para. 1) probably mean?A.
