Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?
It's all about personal space, which means not only the imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯)when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水)makes you feel angry.
Whether people have had a stronger desire(渴望)to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire to have space to themselves. In a survey by Trip Advisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.
Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.
Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first .because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to your Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.
Preference(偏好)for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的)cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.
( )29. The writer mainly in this article.
A. tells us how to achieve personal space
B. explains why people need personal space
C. introduces some knowledge about personal space
D. argues(争论)for the importance of keeping personal space
( )30. Who might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?
A. A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume.
B. A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.
C. A person who hears strange noises when reading at home.
D. A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.
( )31. What can we know from the survey by Trip Advisor?
A. People need smaller personal .pace in recent times than before.
B. P eople have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.
C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people's needs.
D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.
( )32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.
B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won't be violated.
C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.
D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.

A new study warns that about 30% of the world people may not have enough water by the year 2025.
A private American organization called Population Action International (PAI) did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. These people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
PAI researchers Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three thousand million people may face water problems. At least 18 more countries are expected to lack enough water. The need for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount(数量) of water on the earth stays the same.
The report says lack of water in the future may cause several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also lead to more international conflict(冲突). Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would influence the ability to improve their economies(经济). This is because new industries often need a great amount of water when they are beginning.
The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One
way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water for agriculture.
The report also says a long-term solution to the water problem is to control population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.
( )33. The PAI study shows that countries will lack water by the year 2025.
A. at least 46
B. at most 46
C.18
D. 28
( )34. Which of the following problems is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It may bring about a lot of health problems.
B. It may cause more international conflict.
C. It may lead to the improvement of new industries.
D. It may influence the development of economies.
( )35. What is the way to solve the water problem in the long term?
A. To use water in different ways.
B. To realize the water problem.
C. To reduce water for farming.
D. To limit the rising birth rate.
( )36. Which of the following shows the structure（结构） of the passage?
A.①②→③④→⑤⑥
B.①②③→④→⑤⑥
C.①②③④→⑤→⑥
D.①②③→④→⑤→⑥

A mouse was surprised to discover that the farmer and his wife had a mousetrap(老鼠夹)in the house. It felt so frightened that it ran to warn everyone, "There is a mousetrap in the house!" and wanted to get some help from them.
The hen raised its head and said, "Mr Mouse, this mouse trap is only for you. I won't be worried about it." The mouse turned to the pig. "I am sorry, Mr Mouse, but the mousetrap has nothing to do with me either! " the pig said. Then the mouse turned to the cow. "It sounds like you have a problem, not me, " the cow said. The mouse returned to the house with head down and it was very sad.
That night the farmer's wife heard aloud sound and she rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she could not see that it was a snake. The snake bit(咬)the farmer's wife. The wife caught a bad fever and the farmer thought the best way to treat a fever was chicken soup. So the farmer killed the hen for the soup. The wife got worse and her friends came to visit her.

How to keep a good relationship with parents
In my opinion, I have too many rules at home. My parents never allow me to go out with my friends at night. They don’t allow me to choose my own clothes, either. And they pay too much attention to my exam results. I think my parents don’t quite understand me. However, I try my best to und erstand them. Although they don’t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much pressure, I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future.
In orde r to keep a good relationship with my parents, I study hard to satisfy them. It is
wise of me to listen to them and talk with them about my problems patiently.(help my parents with housework ;consider them as friends)
