Passage3
If a friend helps you a lot，what do you do in return？You could just say＂thank you＂. Or you could write a thank-you note，which is more formal and polite. But most people don’t do this.
“People don’t seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often,”Amit Kumar from University of Texas says.
Why are people hesitant(犹豫的)about sending thank-you notes?And how do most people react(反应)when they receive one？
Kumar and his team asked some students to each write a letter of thanks to another person. Then, they questioned both the writer and the recipient(接收者)about the letter and how it made them feel.
They found that people don’t like to write thank-you notes because they feel like they have to think too much about it. They worry about what to say and how to say it. They overthink the “correctness” of what they are writing.
But people really like receiving thank-you notes. “When you are a recipient. you pay attention to the warmth of the thank,” Kumar says. “How heartfelt was it? How friendly and warm? ”
In addition，some writers also feel that it might be awkward(尴尬的)for the recipient to receive a letter of thanks.
“They(recipients) feel especially positive(积极的)when they were in the receiving end of these expressions” Kumar says. “They don’t really feel awkward at all.”
If people knew that writing a thank-you note can have such a big influence on the recipient，they would do it more often, Kumar says.
“Simple, small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference in how we treat other people and how we feel,” he says.
33. The underlined word “this” refers to（指代）“________”
A. receiving thanks
B. reading a thank-you note
C. saying “thank you”
D. writing a thank-you note
34.According to Kumar, people may________when they write a letter of thanks.
A. feel like they have too much to say
B. think it is no use giving their thanks
C. worry too much about what they write
D. feel awkward to give thanks themselves
35.How do people feel when they receive thank- you notes?
A.Lucky
B.Shy
C. Warm
D. Surprised
36.Kumar’s study shows that ( )__.
A. we should give thanks to people quite often
B. a thank-you note can make a difference in life
C. writing a thank- you note is difficult for writers
D. saying “thank you” is very important in our lives
37. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Take time to thank
B. The importance of “thank you”
C. Rules of saying “thank you”
D. How to write a thank-you note

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

Passage 5
Dear Mum and Dad
I am writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment, we are staying near Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high! During different periods of the day, the colours of the rock turn dark blue, purple, yellow and red. Ayers Rock is a centre of local Aboriginal culture. The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and their ancient stories describe the spirits that created the world.
The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British relatives, and they are like us in many ways. The foods that Australians like most are ham and beef with lots of salad. They also grow grapes and other fruits. They love all sports, but the game that they like most is Australian football. Because most Australians live near the coast, they also love going to the beach for swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun.
Although it is December, it is summer over here. The sun is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the middle of the country has no trees or grass, just rocks and sand and kangaroos!
Australians speak English, but in their own way. For example, when they say "G'day" and “No worries”，they mean “Hello”and“Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”
On the second day, we went horse riding. The horse that I rode was lazy, so I was left far behind the others. But I enjoyed the slow and relaxing ride.
Later this evening, we are taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home.It has been a wonderful trip.
Love,
Tony
