In fact, I helped (sadly to sa y) push certain products by placing them in a certain fashion. Through said experience, I tend to know some of the best wa ys to counter the impulsive nature of buying things that are un necessary.The following is a 3- point list to counter the need to buy some thing shoved in your face…Don't bring the kids.You wouldn't believe (or maybe you parents would) how muc h more junk parents buy for their kids that is completely impul sive. Working as a checker at a grocery store, I quickly learne d that most of the time kids were with their parents, the parent s would buy something else within 10 feet of the check stand. Bring exact cash.I like to use my debit card because I am able to track every pe nny better, but holding and letting go of cash is much tougher for me personally. So, if I am going through a tough time budg eting properly, I will bring the allotted (限定的)amount of cash to the place of business and only allow tha t to be used.Ignore salesman.If you are at a department store and someone asks if you nee d help, try to ignore their push as much as possible. Sure, if y ou know nothing about laptops, get their advice, but even the n I suggest doing your research pre-shop. Salesman could care less what you want.

Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But co unterfeit drugs may contain too little or none of the active ingr edients of the real thing.People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases counterfeits cause death. Twenty children in Bangladesh die d last year after being given acetaminophen(醋氨酚). The medications contained ingredients that looked, smell ed and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The W.H.O. estimates that upto thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countri es are counterfeit. The problem is less widespread among ind ustrialized countries. The W.H.O. says counterfeits make up l ess than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries lik e the United States, Canada, Japan, and .But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medi cine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several compan ies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identif y. And there are existing methods, like a machine that can qui ckly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Ot her ideas include things like special tracking codes for drug p ackages. People could send a text message with the code an d get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database.

But you can’t possibly understand Shakespeare’s lan guage if you’re just reading it in your head. Shakespeare is dif ficult; it’s not a 21st century text. You have to use different wa ys to understand it.The new teaching way focuses on how actors come to unders tand Shakespeare’s language. In fact actors have the same n ervousness about Shakespeare’s language as young people i n schools do. But in six to eight weeks they get to a place of c omplete confidence about the play. Pupils can do as well. Exercises devised are to let children aged 11 to 14 imitate the methods of professional actors. Written and oral assessment s developed alongside the lessons will show how well student s have understood the texts.In one task pupils will work on creating four key physical figur es of king, warrior(勇士), lover and joker, finding which lines of their chosen charac ter go with those features first and then acting them out. Thro ugh this they can examine how a character such as Macbeth can switch dramatically within one scene from soldier to kingly figure to trick planner. It’s really creative but you’re still gettin g a really wonderful model of understanding. It’s miles away fr om a “chalk and talk” method.Educators think Shakespeare should be a central part of ever y young person’s education. Developing a love of Shakespear e at a young age often leads to a lifelong passion for literature and helps to improve a child’s reading and writing.32. How will young people learn Shakespeare?A. Reading them aloud.B. Reciting them.C. Cooperating with actors.D. Acting them out.33. You cannot understand Shakespeare’s words easily beca use________.A. they are pieces of literatureB. their expressions are differentC. ordinary people cannot understand themD. they are performances34. The underlined sentence “It’s miles away from a ‘chalk and talk’method.” In Paragraph 5 means_____.A. Chalk and talk are far away from each otherB. It is much better than the traditional wayC. Chalk and talk are quite differentD. By chalk and talk we can understand Shakespeare35. What’s the best title of the reading passage?A. The New Approach to ShakespeareB. The Introduction to ShakespeareC. How to act Shakespeare’s playsD. Shakespeare’s work s in the English curriculum第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）All children in the have to receive an education, but the law d oes not say they have to be educated at school. A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school. 71 There are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the today. Some parents prefer teaching their ch ildren at home because they do not believe that public school s teach the correct religious values; others believe they can pr ovide a better educational experience for their children by tea ching them at home. 72David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at hom e. Guterson says that his children learn very differently from c hildren in school. 73 For example, when there is heavy sno wfall on a winter day, it may start a discussion or reading abo ut climate, snow removal equipment, , polar bears,and winter tourism. A spring evening when the family is out w atching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellit es and the space program. 74Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools, but critics say that home-schoolers are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing w ith other people in adult life. 75 And most parents don’t hav e the time or the desire to teach their children at home, so sch ools will continue to be where most children get their formal e ducation.A. Learning starts with the children’s interests and question s.B. Children who are educated at home are known as “hom e-schoolers”.C. In some countries, however, children are educated by th eir parents.D. Parents often give their time to help with classroom or afte r-school activities.E. They also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.F. Interestingly, results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on nation al tests in reading and math.G. If the Brazilian rain forests are on the TV news, it could be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate, and how deserts are formed.第三部分：完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）One year ago, I traveled 15,000 kilometers from Australia to t he .
