A few days ago I was sitting in a Thai restaurant enjoying a meal when I got a phone call from a friend I hadn’t spoken to for a long time. Full of enthusiasm and excitement I talked slightly louder than usual and in Spanish, my mother tongue.
A few minutes into the call the lady sitting beside me got up, seemingly upset, and asked the restaurant staff to relocate her to a table as far away as possible from “this man who won’t get off his phone”
I sank in my seat out of embarrassment. I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to go over and apologize. Before getting up I looked around to see where she was and I found she was, indeed, at the table furthest away from me. I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window, looking a bit sad.
Right then I quit my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture and decided to conduct an experiment. Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet, I took one out. When signing my check I asked the waiter to secretly charge the lady’s meal to my credit card instead of her bill.
I left the restaurant, letting the waiter know I would be back in a few hours to pick up my credit card. I returned later as promised, excited to learn the result.
To my pleasant surprise, things turned out the best possible way. A group of restaurant staff approached me with joy, telling me that the lady had dined there many times, but they had never seen her smile and laugh like she did upon receiving the smile card and the $0 check.
24. Why did the lady ask the restaurant staff to relocate her?
A. She didn’t understand Spanish.
B. She preferred to stay on her own.
C. She wanted to sit beside the window.
D. She felt bothered by the author’s phone call.
25.What did the author want to do first after he ended his phone call?
A. Apologize to the lady.
B. Pay for the lady’s meal.
C. Conduct an experiment.
D. Give the lady a smile card.
26. According to the text, the lady_______.
A. was unfriendly to others
B. was too poor to afford a meal
C. was not happy deep in her heart
D. was particular about where she sat
27. What is the best title fir the text?
A．A poor lonely lady
B．A smile card apology
C．An improper phone call
D．An unpleasant experience
C
Teenagers around the world can be happy with the news that the brain will ignore parents’ order when they tap on their smartphones. A new scientific study from the University College London has shown that humans may temporarily go deaf when they’re focusing on something visual at the same time.
The researchers played the normal-volume sounds in the background. And 13 volunteers experienced inattentional deafness as their visual tasks became increasingly difficult. “We found that when volunteers were performing the demanding visual task, they were unable to hear sounds that they would normally hear,” Maria Chait said in a statement. “The brain scans showed that people didn’t filter out the sounds on purpose. They were not actually hearing them in the first place.”
The findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggest that the centre of sights and the center of sounds share limited resources. Inattentional deafness is a common everyday experience and the study explains why, according to UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience Professor Nili Lavie.
If you try to talk to someone focusing on a book, game, or television program and don’t receive a
response, they aren’t necessarily ignoring you. They simply might not hear you at all. This could also explain why you might not hear your bus or train stop being announced if you’re absorbed in your phone, book or newspaper. However, some loud sounds will still be able to break through.
Some situations could become potentially dangerous when the quieter ones go unheard. As you can imagine, in the operating room, when a doctor concentrates on his work, he might not hear the equipment beeping. It also applies to drivers who concentrate on complex directions. Fortunately, experts have given us some useful tips on preventing such situations.
28.What has the University College London found?
A. Teenagers like to play visual games.
B. Smartphones have a good effect on ears.
C. Teachers don’t allow students to use phones.
D. People can’t hear well while using their eyes.．
29. What’s the attitude of Nili Lavie to the study?
A. Doubtful.
B. Negative.
C. Approving
D. Critical
30. What will you most probably hear if you are concentrating on a book?
A. Fire alarms.
B. Words from the TV.
C. What your parents say to you.
D. Announcement in the station.
31. What will the author probably talk about in the next paragraph?
A. How to become a good driver.
B. How to help improve hearing.
C. Situations related to deafness.
D. Advice for people with visual tasks.
D
Have you ever been faced with trying to stay positive when others around you are negative? A negative person can bring you down and throw your positive plans out of the window. Whether you deal with a family member, friend or co-worker who is negative, there are things you can do to remain positive in the face of negativity?
Whatever you do, don’t argue with a negative person. Arguing only adds fuel to the fire. I have noticed when my children are crabby, it is best to avoid trying to convince them to analyze and adjust their attitude. As soon as I take the approach of being in opposition to them, the situation gets worse before it gets better. Sometimes the best thing to do is remain silent and let negativity pass.
You know how difficult it can be to give love and positive attention to negative people. Unfortunately, that is often exactly what they need. A negative person is usually afraid he is unlovable. How do you show love when someone is negative? You must listen to what he is trying to tell you. Acknowledge the feelings he has by saying something like, “You sound very angry right now.” How might you help a negative person? Offer a hug even if you get rejected. A negative person often has difficulty accepting love from others.
If you have negative people on your life who are affecting your mental and physical health, you need to decide whether or not you want these people in your life. Some people are so negative that you have no other choice but to remove them from your life. However, some people, such as your children, are difficult to remove from your life, in this case, professional counseling(咨询) may be the answer.
32.What does the underlined word “crabby” in Para.2 mean?
A. Quite excited.
B. Very lonely.
C. Easily annoyed.
D. Highly optimistic.
33. What’s the main idea of Para.3?
A. Negative people need care.
B.Negative people make us happy..
C. Negative people can be hurt easily.
D. Negative people are hard to get along with.
34. What does the author suggest doing?
A. Focusing on positive things.
B. Trying to change negative thoughts.
C. Controlling our own negative thoughts.
D. Staying away from some negative people.
35. In which section of a magazine can we most probably read the text?
A. Health
B. Relationships
C. Lifestyles
D. Entertainment.

作文：
Dear Bruce,
Glad to hear you want to join the interest group of Chinese Art. I’d like to give you some
advice.
Of the two subjects covered, both are highly recommended. Personally, I prefer Beijing Opera, one of the most popular Chinese traditional arts. In recent years, more and more foreigners have begun to learn about Beijing Opera, through which they can learn much about Chinese history. Moreover, the costumes and the facial makeup will amaze you. Besides, I like Beijing Opera and I have taken part in many competitions, making it possible for me to help you. That’s why I think Beijing Opera would be a better choice.
Hope you’ll fall in love with Beijing Opera.
Yours,
Li Hua
Dear Bruce,
Glad to hear you want to join the interest group of Chinese Art. I’d like to give you some advice.
Personally, I prefer paper-cutting, one of China’s folk arts with a long history. By the Song Dynasty, it had become an important part of everyday life. You can learn much about Chinese culture on history by learning paper-cutting. Moreover, you can improve your taste in art and your drawing ability. Besides, my grandma is a good at paper-cutting and she would be willing to help teach you. That’s why I think paper-cutting would be a better choice.
Hope you’ll fall in love with paper-cutting
Yours,
Li Hua
