Some people are able to lead other people by the nose.” For example, if a wife “leads her husband by the nose,” she makes him do whatever she wants him to do. Some people are said to be “hard-nosed.” They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is “hard-nosed,” chances are he will never “pay through the nose,” or pay too much money, for an object or service. It is always helpful when people “keep their noses out of other peoples business”they do not interfere. The opposite of this is someone who “noses around all the time. “ This kind of person is interested in other peoples private matters. He is considered “nosey.” Someone who “keeps his nose to the grindstone” works very hard. This can help a worker “keep his nose clean,” or stay out of trouble. One unusual expression is “that is no skin off my nose.” This means that a situation does not affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person “cuts off his nose to spite his face.” That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry. More problems can develop if a person “looks down his nose” at someone or something. The person acts like something is unimportant or worthless. This person might also “turn up his nose” at something he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He “has his nose in the air.” In school, some students “thumb their nose” at their teacherthey refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be “right under your nose,” or easily seen. 25. Which of the following can best describe a “hard-nosed” person? A. Wise. B. Stubborn. C. Jealous. D. Generous. 26. A person will not welcome if he_. A. “noses around all the time” B. “keep ones nose clean” C. “keeps ones nose to the grindstone” D. “keep ones nose out of other peoples business”27. The expression “turn up ones nose” is similar with_. A. “that is no skin off ones nose” B. “look down ones nose”C. “have ones nose in the air” D. “thumb ones nose”28. Something “right under your nose” means_. A. something hard to understand B. something a teacher asks in classC. something a student refuses to do D. something easy to findCSeek books that interest you. Reasonable prices.

A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyse information and the reliability of sources. 36 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 37Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 38 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 39 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)40 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A. Make choices that are right for you.B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.D. And examine the findings of the original research.E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an authors point of view.G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）China is known as a country of etiquette (礼节) and ceremonies.
