yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general．Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes．People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform．The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes．Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform．What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits．They save on other clothes．They save on laundry bills．They are tax-deductible（可减税的）．They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them．Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement．When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems．Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes．Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.56．It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.A．still judge a man by his clothesB．hold the uniform in such high regardC．enjoy having a professional identityD．will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform57．People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.A．suggests quality workB．discards his social identityC．appears to be more practicalD．looks superior to a person in civilian clothes58．The chief function of a uniform is to _______.A．provide practical benefits to the wearerB．make the wearer catch the public eyeC．inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD．provide the wearer with a professional identity59．According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______.A．are usually helpfulB．have little or no individual freedomC．tend to lose their individualityD．enjoy greater popularity60．The best title for this passage would be _______.A．Uniforms and SocietyB．The Importance of Wearing a UniformC．Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD．Advantages and Disadvantages of UniformsBObesity is becoming one of the bigg est threats to children’s health, a recent nationwide investigation has warned, pointing out that students’ physical indicators are declining because of a lack of enough exercise.The past five years have witnessed fast growth in the number of fat children—in some big cities, the number has even doubled, the survey showed.In Beijing, for example, latest figures from the local education authorities show that the height, weight and chest measurement of young students keep expanding, while physical indices, such as lung capacity, speed and strength, are going down.The blood pressure of half the secondary school students is above normal; and the number of obese students has increased by 50 percent compared with five years age.In the urban areas of Beijing and five other economically more developed regions, the average obesity rate of male students in primary schools has reached 12.9 percent.Nationwide, the obesity rate of children is 8.1 percent and 3.1 percent in urban and rural areas.“China has entered the era of obesity,” Beijing-based Workers’ Daily quoted Ji Chengye of the Child and Adolescent Health Section of the China Preventive Medicine Association as saying．“Childhood is the first age group affected by obesity, to which society has not paid enough a ttention,” Ji said．“Obesity in childhood will influence health for life,” the expert added.The increase in indoor activities such as watching television, surfing the Internet, playing computer games or doing homework, is one of the main reasons for childr en’s obesity,according to Ji, because it means lack of exercise and little chance for burning calories．Another reason is consumption of excessive junk food．“In the past, children used to drink water．Now they prefer sweet beverages; and some have totally g iven up water,” Ji said．He also blamed intensive promotions of sweets and junk food, which make it hard for children to resist the temptation.Also, because of pressure of competition to enter good higher schools, teachers sacrifice students’ physical exer cise time for classes.For instance, about 60 percent of school masters in Beijing admitted that the one hour of outdoor physical exercises per day is not always followed.“Problems of obesity will not only influence children’s physical and psychological d evelopment but also become a “time bomb for the country’s future economic development and public health

of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple words．Many found their memories letting them down towards the end of the day, but the following morning, those who had slept well could recall much more.Researchers, writing in the journal Nature, said the brain could “rescue” lost memories during the night.When the brain is first asked to remember something that memory is laid down in an “unstable” state, meaning that it is possible that it could be lost．At some point, the brain consolidates those it deems important into a “stable”, more permanent state．However, the Chi cago researchers suggested that it was possible for a “stable” memory to be made “unstable” again．This would mean that memories could be modified then filed away again in the face of new experiences.The 12 volunteers tested in the experiment were played words created through a speech synthesizer which were purposely difficult to understand．Initially, the written version of the word from the audio version only．Tests revealed that the ability to recall the right word tended to tail off as the day ended.How ever, when the volunteers were retested after a good night’s sleep, they were able to recall some words that they had “ forgotten” the previous evening.Dr Daniel, one of the study authors, said: “Sleep consolidates memories, protecting them against subsequent interference or decay．Sleep also appears to “recover” or restore memories.” He said: “If performance is reduced by decay, sleep might actively recover what has been lost.”Dr Karim Nader, from the Department of Psychology in McGill University in Montreal, said: “Memory research is undergoing a transformation---no longer is memory thought to be a hard-writing of the brain, instead it seems to be a process of storage and restorage.”Sleep helps some memories “mature” and also prunes out unimportant memor ies. 68．What does the first paragraph implies?A．A busy day makes people forget things easily.B．People need a good night’s sleep after a busy day.C．A good night’s sleep helps memories.D．A good night’s sleep helps people forget a busy day.69．The words the 12 volunteers played in the experiment were not ____A．created through a speech synthesizerB．hard to understandC．available at the beginningD．designed to test people’s ability of understanding70．According to the passage, memory_____A．is a hard-writing of the brainB．is not a process of storageC．is not a process of restorageD．will be mature with the help of sleep71．Which of the following is NOT true?A．When people first remember something, the memory is in an “unstable state”.B．The brain will change those important unstable memories into stable.C．Once the memory become stable, it will never become unstable again.D．Sleep can

Or , perhaps of mechanical men who have been created as guards or soldiers by a mad genius（天才）? Or maybe you think of man like robots who act , think , and look like human beings . In fact robots like these have more to do with science fiction films than with real life . In the real world robots are machines that do jobs which otherwise have to be done by people . Robots either operate by themselves or under the control of a person .In a car factory , for example , robot machinery can put together and paint car bodies . On the sea bed remote – controlled underwater machines with mechanical arms can perform tasks too difficult for divers . Robot spacecraft can explore the solar system and send back information about planets and stars .Many robots have computer brains . Some robots are fitted with cameras , sensors , and microphones which enable them to see , to feel , and to hear . And some robots can even produce electronic speech .All this does not mean that a robot can think and behave like a human being . Present day robots have to be programmed with a good deal of information before they can carry out even simple tasks .46. According to this article , which of the following is NOT true about robots in real life ?A. Some robots are as creative as artists .B. Some robots can help make cars .C.

The passage is mainly about .A. robots in fiction filmsB. man’s great helper — robotsC. the relationship between man and robotsD. how robots came into beingBWhen I was 21, I came to live in London . I shared a damp basement flat with a beautifulex – art student from Bright . Her name was Sam . She had long brown hair and a slim figure that I was madly jealous of . She ate three chocolate bars for breakfast every morning .I used to lie in bed looking at her eating and getting dressed , wondering how she could possibly have so much sugar without losing her teeth , her figure or her complexion . She’d put on her make – up in under a minute , throw on whatever clothes happened to be lying around the room , and rush off to work looking like a model on the cover of a fashion magazine . Like me , she was just an art teacher in a secondary school .I , on the other hand , used to put on weight if I even smiled at a bar of chocolate . I’d already lost several upper teeth , my face was spotty and I looked like a heavyweight boxer whatever I wore .My morning reaction to Sa m was always the same . I’d shut my eyes , pull the blankets over my head and force myself back to sleep . I knew that I really ought to get up , too . But I have never been what you’d call a morning person . The teaching job I was doing at the time was th e only period of my life , thank goodness , that I’ve had to be anywhere by 8 : 30 a.m. Anyway , I needed a few extra comforting dreams after the shock of seeing Sam looking so beautiful . Going back to sleep to shut everything out , and using my bed as a favourite means of retreat , became an addiction — my worst habit .Of course , I overslept and was late every single day of the week . Eventually I was told if things didn’t improve I might be given the sack . So I gave up my job and got married . I blame it all on Sam and her beauty .50.

The headmaster liked the way she talked .A pair of red ballet shoes set all alone on the table caught her eye .“ That is Taglioni’s shoes , I’m very sorry that there’s nobody who can wear it today . Her feet were small and perfect , ” he said .Toglioni ! The greatest dancer of all the time ! The name sent an unusual feeling through her .He look at her shining eyes , then he asked , “ How would you like to try it on ? ”As in a dream , she pulled on the red shoes .“ Why . They fit perfectly ! ” He said happily . “ Little Pavlova , I’ve seen your dance . You are very good . ”And she had won Toglioni’s shoes .She , little Anna Pavloa , was going to be a great dancer .
