20.It was a winter morning,just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005.While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival,he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.After putting in 10hours of labor,he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike,a black Kona 18speed,was our only transport.Trevor used it to get to work putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品雜貨),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I to the newspaper and told them our story.Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help.One wonderful stranger even bought a bike,then called my husband to pick it up.Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another,but but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole.And it has influenced (影響) us to be more mindful of ways we,too,can share with others.No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting.

32.Why was the bike so important to the couple?A
A.They used it for work and daily life.
B.It was their only possession.
C.The man's job was bike racing.
D.It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
33.We can infer from the text thatC.
A.the couple worked 60 hours a week.
B.people were busy before Christmas
C.life was hard for the young family.
D.the stranger brought over the bike
34.How did people get to know the couple's problem?C
A.From radio broadcasts.
B.From TV news.
C.From a newspaper.
D.From a stranger.
35.What do the couple learn from their experience?B
A.Strangers are usually of little help.
B.An act of kindness can mean a lot.
C.News reports make people famous.
D.One should take care of their bike.

8.Correctly understanding the signals that people give away with their body language is a useful skill to understand what they are really thinking,regardless of what they are saying.But research has proven that some body language is often misunderstood.
The Eyes of a Liar
Most people say that someone cannot look another person in the eyes and lie,but that is not true.It has been found that some liars have no problem staring someone in the eyes and lying.
And what about people who avoid eye contact (接觸)?Are they dishonest?In fact,nervousness and shyness can make people drop their eyes,even when they're telling the truth.
Eye Contact is Good
Many believe that more eye contact is better.However,directing a fixed stare at another usually makes the other person uncomfortable.Eye contact that lasts a few seconds is best for showing attention and sincerity.Any eye contact longer than that may be regarded by the other person as rude or aggressive.
Hands Behind the Back
Some people mistake a person putting their hands behind their back when standing as a sign of power.This type of body language is actually not a sign of strength but that of someone who is not trustworthy.People like to see a person's hands in order to know what they are doing with them.To gain others'trust,a person should keep their hands front.
Fast-Talkers Can't Be Trusted
Many people have been faced with,a fast-talking salesman who has tried to fool them into buying something.But fast-talk doesn't necessarily mean someone is trying to bamboozle you.On the contrary,slower speakers who take too many pauses may be trying to make up details as they go along.
Remember to take all things into consideration-cultures,societies,personal habits-and use as much information as possible when judging another person based on his or her body language.

32.Which of the following is true about eye contact?B
A.People who avoid eye contact are dishonest.
B.Proper eye contact shows attention and sincerity.
C.A long stare at others is considered good manners.
D.Looking into someone's eyes can make them tell the truth.
33.When communicating with others,we should keep our hands front toC.
A.show our belief in themB.defend ourselves from harm
C.show that we can be relied onD.prove that we are powerful
34.The underlined word"bamboozle"in the last paragraph can be replaced by"D".
A.impressB.a(chǎn)ttackC.a(chǎn)pproachD.cheat
35.What can be the best title of the passage?B
A.Ways to Use the Right Body Language
B.Misbeliefs about Some Body Language
C.How to Judge a Person by Body Language
D.Body Language Gives Away Your Real Thoughts.

15.I wandered into the small store where I usually buy milk,when the store owner received a call from a customer.The customer and his wife had shopped there several months earlier.He noticed that his wife really liked one thing in the store,so he wanted to buy it as a surprise.
But the customer was in Tennessee,far away from the store which was in Maine.What's more,he had been to the store several months earlier,and it was difficult to believe that the store owner would remember him,or what he was looking for.
The store owner took a few close-up photos with her camera,and e-mailed them to the customer on the computer.The customer looked at the photos,decided which one he wanted.They talked and discussed a price over the phone.She took care of the credit card transaction (交易) online,and promised the gift would be shipped out that afternoon.
The store owner was really smart.She was willing to push herself to find new ways to make the transaction actually happen.And it did work.However,it was the first time she had ever done it.
I was amazed that the store owner discovered a creative solution that could lead to a new way of doing business.I was impressed by what she did-so easily,but how difficult it is for many of us to make that leap(飛躍,跳躍).I'm not just talking about technology,but about learning how to adapt to change.Most people hate or fear change unless they get to know exactly what change needs to be made.However,we should realize that challenge and opportunity go hand in hand.

5.Weather experts said this year could be one of the strongest EL Nino events in recorded history.El Nino means severe weather conditions in parts of the world.In eastern Africa,for example,Kenya and Uganda are preparing for possible flooding.Yet South Africa and Malawi are already dealing with extremely dry weather.
El Nino is Spanish for"the child".It usually begins in December,near the celebration of te birth of Jesus Christ.In fact,the weather event was named in his honor.El Nino develops when winds off the west coast of South America weaken.This permits warm water in the western Pacific to expand toward the east and the Americas.At the same time,clouds and rain over the warm water move east,too.El Nio conditions normally appear only about twice every 10 years.Usually,El Nino conditions continue for about 12to 18months.They bring warm weather to some areas.These areas become wetter than normal,while others become drier.
The United Nations Children's Fund warns that many people are at risk from hunger,disease and water shortages resulting from El Nino.In the east and southern Africa up to 11million children could be affected.East African countries usually experience heavy rainfall during the El Nino.Southern Africa usually has little rainfall which may lead to wildfires or drought(干旱).
Weather changes caused by El Nino depend on the strength of the condition.In the early 1980s,strong El Nino was linked to dry weather in Australia and Asia,rain and flooding in South America and high temperatures in many parts of the U.S.The years later,smaller El Nino caused trouble in parts of the U.S.It caused severe floods in the Southeast and the Middle West.Tom Di Leberto is a meteorologist(氣象學(xué)家) at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Washington,D.C.He said this year could be the third strongest El Nino on record.But we will not know for sure until all the weather records are examined.

12.The author writes the text to tell usC.
A.many countries are preparing for the coming floods
B.Africa will probably suffer a lot form this year's El Nino
C.this year could be one of the strongest El Nino on record
D.11million children could be affected by this year's El Nino
13.The second paragraph is mainly aboutB.
A.what El Nino actually means
B.how El Nino comes into being
C.when El Nino will occur next time
D.why El Nino causes weather changes
14.Which of the following countries often suffers from flooding caused by El Nino?A
A.Kenya   B.Malawi   C.Australia   D.South Africa
15.The author mentioned the 1980s'El Nino and the 1990s'El Nino toB.
A.explain why so many countries were affected by El Nino
B.prove weather changes caused by El Nino depend on its strength
C.a(chǎn)rgue that El Nino conditions usually appear about twice every 10years
D.show scientists doubt wheher this year will have the strongest El Nino.
