But its not always the length of the wait we find so _36_. Our beha

9、vior when waiting is only _37_ defined by the length of the wait. “Often the psychology of queuing is more _38_than the statistics of the wait itself,” said the MIT researcher Richard Larson, an expert on waiting lines.One obvious _39_of queuing psychology is that we get bored when we wait in line.

10、This issue is _40_ in many ways, from magazines in hospital waiting rooms to mirrors in elevators _41_we can check our appearance.We really _42_ it when we expect a short wait and then get a long one. But studies show that we are much more _43_when we are given an idea of how long well be waiting. W

11、alt Disney Co knows this _44_ than anyone else. It posts estimated waiting times for attractions in its theme parks. But according to Larson, these times are _45_ so that visitors get to the front of the queue more quickly than they expect. It keeps them _46_.But perhaps the biggest influence on our

12、 feelings about waiting in a line has to do with our sense of _47_. When it comes to queues, the universally acknowledged _48_ is first come, first served. Any deviation (违反) from this principle is regarded as unfair and can _49_ violent queue rage (大怒).Sometimes however, we are willing to make _50_

13、. For example, we are fine with the priority given to those with a more critical condition in hospital. _51_ in most situations, we demand fairness. Youve probably _52_ mild queue rage yourself in fast food restaurants, watching people in the other line move faster than you, _ 53_ yourself for havin

14、g chosen the “wrong” line.In order to solve this problem, the serpentine (蛇形的) line was _54_. Slate magazines website explains: “The serpentine line isnt always faster than multi-lines.

Some animals look like they do! However, these “eyes” arent for seeing-in fact, they cant see at all and are called fal

19、se eyes or eyespots.Its easy to be fooled by eyespots-after all, they look a lot like eyes. Yet despite their strong resemblance to real eyes, eyespots are just designs, or patterns, found on different parts of an animals body. Theyve also been spied on fish, owls and all kinds of insects.You might

20、wonder: if eyespots cant help an animal see, why do they exist at all? Scientists believe one reason is that eyespots can create a strong reaction in other animals.In the world of the peacock, eyespots can make a male really stand out from the crowd. Peacocks have long, beautiful tails, often decora

21、ted with dozens of eyespots. The female peacock has only a short, unattractive brown tail, with no eyespots at all. During the mating season, males fan out their tails for display while females sit back and watch. Studies show that the male with the most eyespots will have the most opportunities to

22、mate.Eyespots can also send an entirely different message, acting as a way for an animal to frighten its enemies away. The peacock butterfly has two sets of eyespots on its wings. At rest, the butterfly folds its wings above its body, displaying a dark underside. This helps the butterfly look less l

23、ike tasty food to hungry birds. At times, a sharp-eyed enemy will see right through the disguise and dive down to catch it. The butterfly waits until the last possible moment before the bird closes in to open its wings. Out flash its eyespots, as large as the eyes of an owl. This scary display often

24、 frightens the bird into flying off.The four-eyed frog of South American uses a similar approach to defend itself. When an enemy approaches, the frog will turn around, bend over, and lift up its rear end to expose the big, black eyespots. Often, thats enough to make its enemy run away.56. Which of t

25、he following is TRUE about peacocks?A. The female has fewer eyespots than the male.B. Males with the most eyespots are most popular.C. The male has a short and unattractive tail.D. Females open their tails to attract males.57. How many functions of animals eyespots are mentioned?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.

26、BIt isnt the first time I have picked tomatoes with Grandma. It is, however, the first time I realize why she requests my help.For as long as I can remember, Grandmas plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summers end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun hints at cooler days, G

27、randma requests my help in her tomato garden. She pats my head and assures me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandmas request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same,

28、her desire for my help seems to increase each year.Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe tomato, head in its direction, and then move to anot

29、her that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful. While Grandma says we need to agree on which tomatoes are ready to be picked, my participation does not seem very important. Grandma knows w

30、hich tomatoes are ready. It is as if she has been in the garden earlier that day, deciding which tomatoes will be picked. I often feel more of a hindrance(妨碍) than a help.It is not until today that I realize it is my company she cannot do without.There we are, lost in the tomato vines. As always, Gr

31、andma is walking from vine to vine, thanking me for my willingness to assist. I have to stand to spot the edge of Grandmas hat amongst the plants. I try to stay near her so I can hear her comments and directions.Grandmas eyes are always making good judgments, and they are no different in the vegetab

32、le garden. From afar she spots what looks like a ripe tomato. As she walks toward the garden, she evaluates the tomato a second time, but from a different angle. If it passes such inspection, I already know it will end up in the basket with the mound of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However,

33、Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side, kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face, and holds the tomato in her hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-

34、hearted smile.She then looks at me. I nod my head and smile. Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection. I know I smile, instead, at her.58. We can infer from the passage that as a tomato picker, the author is _.A. incompetentB. lazyC. enthusiasticD. skillful59. How does the auth

35、or “already know” the tomato will “end up in the basket”?A. The author is an expert gardener.B. The author is Grandmas assistant.C. The author has already inspected the tomatos ripeness.D. The author has spent a lot of time gardening with Grandma.60. The last two sentences of the passage suggest tha

36、t the author _.A. realizes Grandmas true intentionB. teases Grandma about her choice of tomatoesC. understands that Grandma wants reassuranceD. appreciates Grandmas skill in finding ripe tomatoesCCredit card rewards programs have traditionally featured airline miles, gift certificates, and cash back

37、 for customers who spend enough on their cards to rack up points. But recently, credit card companies have started offering a different kind of gift: Theyre handing out lower interest rates, refunding interest payments, and using other strategies to provide incentives for cardholders to pay down the

38、ir debt and make on-time payments. The deals, however, dont always work in consumers favor.The new Citi Forward card gives cardholders points and reduces their annual interest rate for making on-time payments and for staying under their credit limit. TD Banks Simply Flexible card changes customers i

39、nterest rates depending on how much of their balance they pay off. If they pay off 10 percent or more of their balance, then they get the lowest available interest rate; paying between the minimum payment and 5 percent of the balance gets them the highest interest rate. And Discovers Motiva card giv

40、es cardholders one months worth of interest back after six consecutive (连续的) on-time payments.Card companies say the idea behind the new rewards is to help customers get on top of their finances. “Its all about promoting financial fitness and giving customers the choices they need to help them manag

41、e their debt,” says Michael Copley, senior vice president of retail lending for TD Bank. He says he thinks the Simply Flexible card motivates cardholders to pay off more of their debt and attributes the companys relatively low delinquency(拖欠债款) rate to the product.Because of the continuing recession

42、 (经济萧条), companies have an incentive to keep their customers from sliding further under water. “This is in response to recognition on the part of issuers that they have to help their cardholders do a better job of managing their money so customers keep those cards for a long time,” says Ron Shevlin,

43、 senior analyst at Aite Group, a research and advisory firm. The challenge for companies, he says, is to balance the profitability of consumers who maintain a balance, and therefore pay interest fees each month, against the increased risk that those cardholders pose because they are more likely to d

44、efault (拖欠) on their debt. Rewards programs that encourage customers to maintain a balance while paying on time, such as the Motiva card, may help them strike that balance.According to consumer advocates and credit card experts, consumers who carry a balance may be better off selecting a card with t

45、he lowest interest rate rather than participating in one of these rewards programs, although they can help consumers improve their credit. “In general, I think these cards are great for people who dont have great credit and regularly carry a balance on their cards,” says Adam Jusko, founder of HYPER

46、LINK /www.IndexCreditC. “Customers who only occasionally carry a balance, on the other hand, would be better off finding a card with a more appealing rewards program,” he adds.61. The recent credit card rewards programs include _.A. air milesB. gift certificatesC. cash backD. lower interest rates an

47、d interest payment refund62. A cardholder of simply Flexible Card will get the lowest interest rate if he _.A. makes six successive on-time paymentsB. pays off the balance on time and stay under his credit limitC. pays off 15 percent of his balanceD. pays off 5 percent of his balance63. Michael Copl

48、ey holds that rewards programs _.A. dont always work in customers favorB. can help the customers pay off more of their debtC. will help the cardholders manage their financeD. can result in a relative low delinquency rate to the credit card64. The underlined phrase “to keep from sliding further under

49、 water” implies that _.A. the companies aim to help their customers during the recessionB. the companies are going to manage the money of their cardholdersC. the companies help the customers manage their finance better so they keep the cards longerD. the companies want to give the customers more cho

50、ices in the recession65. The consumer advocates and credit card experts suggest that _.A. the lowest interest card is a better choice for those who carry a balanceB. the customers who pay off the balance should not participate in any rewards programC. it is better for those who pay off the balance t

51、o select a lower interest cardD. customers who carry a balance should select a card with some rewards programsDOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerne

52、d. Ideas about social class-whether a person is “working-class” or “middle-class”-are one area in which changes have been extremely slow. In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that worker

53、s jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her “housekeeping”, would go out and squander the rest on beer and

54、betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-still is-inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a top priority, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. Both of these

55、provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisor

56、s. Social security and laws to improve job security, combined with a general rise in the standard of living since the mid-fifties of the 20th century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had

57、in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music

58、 and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in previous generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever type of job they may have) and the low-pa

59、id. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather than the old conflicts will reappear, but between different groups.66. Which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A. Life-style and occupation

60、.B. Attitude and income.C. Income and job security.D. Job security and hobbies.67. The writer seems to suggest that the description of _ is closer to truth.A. middle-class ways of spending moneyB. working-class ways of spending the weekendC. working-class drinking habitsD. middle-class attitudes68.
