18、 Australia D. Austria B“Will you give my kite a lift?” asked my nephew to his sister.

19、e kite flew out of her hand and it fell flat as before. “Try again,” said I. They did, and with more care, but a side wind came suddenly.

20、. I told them to find a more open area and then try again.We found an open area. I threw the kite up as John ran off. It rose up and promised a high flight. But John was so pleased that he stopped short to look upward. The string became loose. The kite shook and came down to the ground. “I wont try

21、anymore. The kite wont fly.” said he angrily. I replied, “A few disappointments are not supposed to discourage us. And now try again.”And he tried and succeeded, for the kite was carried upward on the breeze as lightly as a feather. He was very excited to enjoy the sight. John began to roll up the s

We read about it in the news, and th

24、eres talk of passing laws against trans fats. We are bombarded with the word. Unfortunately, most people dont know that trans fats truly are and why they are so bad for us. A lot of food production companies want to get your dollars by printing “Trans Fat Free” on their label(标签). Sadly, they may no

25、t be telling the truth. So what is a trans fats really? A trans fat is a liquid(液体)fat that is turned into solid. Although there is a very small amount of natural trans fats in meal and dairy products, most of them are created by adding hydrogen to light fat. Food-makers do this because it makes the

26、 products last longer on the shelf. Have you ever wondered why cookies can still be crispy and “tasty” after six months to a year on a store shelf? Its because of trans fats. Trans fats are typically found in things like donuts, French fries, cookies, microwave popcorn, and potato chips.Why are tran

27、s fats bad for you? Trans fats raise the bad cholesterol(胆固醇) in your body and lower the good cholesterol that the body needs. Fatty foods do cause overweight. Trans fats build up in the body and block book flow to the heart. People whose diet contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of

28、heart disease and stroke.Why can the food-makers label trans fats free when it isnt? Because of the way the nutrition labeling laws work, the FDA(Food and Drug Administration) has allowed that if a food has less than 0 .5 grams per serving (一份) it can be classified as trans fats free. Read the label

29、 and you may discover that the package actually contains 6 servings, and if you just are three of them, you might have eaten 1.49 grams of trans fats.Besides, in most fast food restaurants, ingredient and nutrition information are not listed. You may be shocked if you know what you are eating. An ar

30、ticle in Mens Health magazine pointed that in KFC, hydrogenated(氢化的) oils appeared 91 times among the ingredients from the menu list. How do you really know if there are trans fats in the food you are eating? One way to truly understand what you are eating is to read the label. Another is to underst

31、and your ingredients. Anything on the label that says hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, even if the package says “Trans Fats Free”, has trans fats in it. You had better not buy that product. Make a different choice, a choice for your health.53. The expression “are bombarded with” in Paragraph

34、od Restaurant! D The “halo effect” is a classic finding social psychology. It is the idea that general evaluations(评价) about a person (e.g. she is likeable) influence judgments about their specific traits(品质)(e.g. she is intelligent). Hollywood stars give the perfect example. Because they are often

35、attractive and likeable, we naturally consider they are also intelligent, friendly and so on. That is, sometimes, not true.In the 1970s, well-known social psychologist Richard Nisbett set out to prove the fact that we actually pay little attention to our thought processes in general, especially to t

36、he halo effect.Nisbett wanted to examine the way students made judgments about teachers. They had been divided into two groups to watch two different videos of the same teacher, who happened to have a strong Indian accent. One group watched the teacher answer a series of questions in an extremely wa

37、rm and friendly manner. The second group saw exactly the same person answer exactly the same questions in a cold and distant manner. In one the teacher appeared to like teaching and students, and in the other he came across as someone powerful who didnt like teaching at all.After each group of stude

38、nts watched the videos they were asked to evaluate the teacher on physical appearance, mannerisms and even his accent (mannerisms were kept the same across both videos). The same as the hale effect infers, students who saw the “warm” one evaluated him more attractive, his mannerisms more likeable an

39、d even his accent as more pleasing. This was unsurprising as it backed up the idea s on the halo effect. At the same time, for those who had seen the other video, the result was just the wrong way around.The surprise is that students had no clue why they gave one teacher higher evaluations. Most sai

40、d that how much they liked the teacher had not influenced their evaluation of his individual traits at all.The halo effect is fascinating and now well-known in the business world. For example, books that have “Harvard Classics” written on the front can ask twice the price of the exact same book with

41、out it. The same is true in the fashion industry.So the next time you consider buying a pair of designer jeans or decide whether you like someone, ask yourself whether the halo effect is operating. Are you really evaluating the traits of the person? This simple check could save you wasting your mone

42、y or refusing a royal friend. Or perhaps, even if you do check, youll still never know.56. Why does the author mention Hollywood stars in the first paragraph? A. To help us to evaluate others. B. To explain what the halo effect is C. To show us the background of the story D. To tell us Hollywood sta

You prefer to buy the products advertised by a movie star C. You pay more for a simple T-shirt with a famous designers name on it. D. You believe

44、your teachers are intelligent because they appear likeable 58. What can we learn from the passage? A. People can do nothing to avoid the halo effect B. People use the halo effect widely in the business world C. People often wonder how the halo effect works before shopping D. People sometimes dont re

45、alize the halo effect when they make judgments 59.

47、s thats whats really fulfilling(令人满意的)to me when I sing to someone who is dying, and someone who is really sick and who doesnt even know whats happening.62 Everyone can give love, and love is what everyone wants. Thats a really important lesson to me. 63 Making someone happy makes you happy, and the
