Dear Miss Manners,
    My friends'kids always ask for gifts or say,"You didn't give me a gift"for their birthdays or Christmas.This is done while their moms are present,and they don't say anything. How do I ask my friends to tell their kids that it's rude to ask people for gifts?
                     Paul
Dear Paul,
    Never mind the mothers,who are obviously not going to teach them manners.I suggest responding directly and pleasantly to the children with,"Why-were you planning to give me one?"Their astonishment should give you the opportunity to explain politely that we are not supposed to force others to give gifts and giving presents is generally expected to be mutual.
Dear Miss Manners,
I am celebrating a milestone birthday with a formal theme party at a club.The time of the party is 7 p.m.to midnight.It includes a cocktail hour at 7,with dinner following.
    Can I add the 7 p.m.cocktail hour to the invitation?I would hate guests to misunderstand and think that they could arrive anytime between 7 and midnight.
                                     
                   Caroline
Dear Caroline,
    The temptation to tell one's guests when they are expected to leave is one with which Miss Manners sympathizes.Clear signals are often neglected.If the hosts do not rise from the table to announce coffee in the living room as the final act,guests feel awkward about being the first to get up.And then some people just never know when to go home.
    However,putting both starting and finishing times on an invitation,often done for cocktail parties,indeed suggests that they may arrive during the event-not toward its end,to be sure,but not necessarily at the starting point.
    You are giving a dinner party,so you should inform your guests that it will start at 7,as drinks before the meal are part of the routine.That tells them to arrive on time-and you can only hope that they will take themselves off at a decent hour.
70.According to Miss Manners,the proper way to deal with a kid asking for gifts isC.
A.to ignore the kid's request for gifts
B.to scold the kid for asking for presents
C.to tell kids gift giving is voluntary and two-way
D.to advise the kid's mum to teach him proper manners
71.Which of the following does Miss Manners advise you to do at a party?D
A.Suggest guests arriving during the event.
B.Directly remind guests to leave at a proper time.
C.Inform guests of both starting and finishing hours.
D.Give guests clear hint when they should leave the party.
72.In witch part of a newspaper can you find this passage?A
A.Advice Section.
B.Live Chats Section.
C.Entertainment Section.
D.Classified Ads Section.

5.A new graph has revealed exactly how long you'11 need to sweat it out in the gym to neutralize (抵消) swallowing a favorite fast food.
While eating fried chicken,pizza and burgers will all entail a gym session of over an hour doing cardio(有氧運動)or lifting weights,women have it far harder than men and must work extra hard to banish calorie-packed meals.
After a classic McDonald's favorite,the Big Mac,men would need to do 42 minutes of cardio or 57 minutes of weightlifting.
As for women,fifty one minutes of cardio would help counter the 24 grams of fat in a Big Mac---over a quarter of the recommended daily allowance---or an hour and eight minutes of weightlifting.
However,the 450g Tesco chocolate cake was by far the worst offender.Clocking in at a whopping 1,710 calories and 90 grams of fat,only a hardcore gym session is going to shift the calories you've absorbed from this dessert.The average woman would have to lift weights for almost four hours to work off the calories in this cake.
Comparatively a chocolate bar seems healthy,with 237 calories which would take 25 minutes for the average woman to run off.Alternatively you could spend thirty three minutes doing weightlifting exercises.
Men will have to complete 40 minutes of cardio and 53 minutes of weightlifting while women will have to complete 48 minutes of cardio and 64 minutes of weightlifting against the calories in French fries.
32.The fat of the recommended daily allowance for women isAgrams.
A.18             B.20                     C.24           D.30
33.According to the passage,Dis the unhealthiest food.
A.French fries       
B.the Big Mac      
C.a chocolate bar  
D.Tesco chocolate cake
31.Compared with men,women must spendAto consume the calories in French fries.
A.11 more minutes lifting weights        
B.8 less minutes doing cardio
C.8 more minutes lifting weights          
D.11 less minutes doing cardio
35.The main purpose of the passage is toA.
A.inform us to stay away from fast food    
B.offer us advice on how to keep healthy
C.tell us some information about fast food    
D.suggest what we do to work off the calories.

9.As anyone who freelances(做自由職業(yè))knows,there are lots of advantages of working at home alone.But there are drawbacks too,like the potential loneliness.No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular:they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment,while making them get some work done too.But renting a co-working space does cost money.
Now a Swedish proiect is aiming to change that by turning people's under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces,available to freelancers for free.Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together.It was a great success,and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe,North and South America,Australia,India and Japan.Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space,or go find a Hoffice near them.
On a Hoffice day,everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour.After 45minutes,everyone;gets up to take a break,stretch,do qigong or yoga for 10to 15minutes.Afterwards,people can gather around again,and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day,as a way to motivate I each other.Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour,potluck-style(家常飯)or by bringing your;own lunch.
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment.As some freelancers describe,"By working at Hoffice,we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment,where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs.We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm,happy,inspired and creative during the working day."
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space;it's also about a free exchange of ideas.And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.

32.Hoffice was started toD.
A.change people's attitude to work    B.encourage people to be more social
C.improve people's working conditions D.provide a co-working space for free
33.What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?B
A.How people respond to Hoffice.    B.How a Hoffice day works.
C.What people share at Hoffice.     D.What Hoffice means to people.
34.Some freelancers'descriptions of Hoffice suggest that theyA.
A.benefit a lot from the working style    B.work longer than before
C.expect more people to join them         D.can't be separated from each other
35.What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?A
A.It is becoming increasingly popular.
B.It has been around for quite a few years.
C.It has created many new job opportunities.
D.It is suitable for people from all walks of life.

8.We are all attracted by magicians,who seem to be able to perform impossible acts,such as pulling white rabbits out of hats and cutting a woman in half.Like all performances,though,a magician's real secret is in practicing thoroughly before showing anyone their tricks.
Magic Matchsticks
You will need
•several matchsticks
•a handkerchief with hems (折縫) along the edges
What to do
1.Show the audience a matchstick.
2.Take a clean cotton handkerchief from your pocket,and shake it out,showing both sides to prove you are not hiding anything.
3.Wrap the matchstick in the handkerchief.
4.Ask one of the audience members to feel the matchstick inside the handkerchief,and break it.
5.Shake the handkerchief,allowing the unbroken matchstick to fall onto the floor!
The secret
Before you begin the performance,slip a matchstick into the hem of the handkerchief.When you ask someone to break the wrapped-up matchstick,make sure that they break the one hidden in the hem (when they feel it,they will think it is the one they saw you wrap into the handkerchief).
It's a good idea to have two or three handkerchiefs with matchsticks already secretly in the hems,as your audience is sure to be shocked and ask you to do the trick again.But don't let them realise that you are changing handkerchiefs,or they may become suspicious!

66.If a magician wants to succeed on the stage,he or she mustA.
A.practice the magic completely
B.have some magical matchsticks
C.recite the process thoroughly
D.keep the secret unknown forever
67.Which of the following pictures shows the step 3?B

68.One of the secrets of"Magic matchsticks"is toD.
A.make the hidden matchstick broken in the hem
B.keep audience from being suspicious during the magic
C.invite one of the audience to break the matchstick
D.confuse the two different matchsticks in the handkerchief.
