E Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world. In rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertiser, hoping to sell their products. The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors. It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with case into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety. 【小题1】What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1? A. The exercise of rights is a luxury. B. The practice of choice is difficult. C. The right of choice is given but at a price. D. Choice and right exist at the same time. 【小题2】Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety? A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product. B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion. C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items. D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice. 【小题3】By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that . A. advanced products meet the needs of people B. products of the latest design fold the market C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry D. everyday goods need to be replaced often 【小题4】What is this passage mainly about? A. The variety of choices in modern society. B. The opinions on people’s right in different countries C. The Problems about the availability of everyday goods. D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions |

The day of the end-of-semester parly in my son's fifth grade class was approaching. While the other kids seemed thrilled about celebrating their accomplishments by playing games and sharing treats, Jeremy hated the very idea of the gathering. As he checked off the days leading up to the party，I noticed the way I had adopted to help my quiet child prepare for social events backfired ： the rising number of checkmarks felt more like a drum beating louder and louder than a nice way to get into the party groove (状态）. In order not to raise the pressure too high, I decided to contribute something that was easy to purchase?fruit. That big day came. On the way to school，I reminded Jeremy to make a purchase of some grapes. He chose the ripest bunch of red grapes, but insisted none of his classmates ever be able to detect he had something to bring to the party. Then as planned at the school gate I said a quick goodbye and ran to inform his teacher about the red grapes in his backpack and managed to be out of the classroom before 1 could be spied by my son. As I entered my own classroom a few minutes later, I set aside my worries and proceeded (继续）with my regular morning check-ins. Yet this time，I was more intentional(故意的） about taking extra time to help all of my students participate. Over time, I designed lots of techniques to make my quiet students feel more comfortable about sharing thoughts and opinions with others. So, what happened to Jeremy on that day? His caring teacher performed magic in class. An unusually specific question： “Does anyone have any grapes? ” encouraged Jeremy to take out the fruit. Because of the support he received, he remembers that day with pride for his courage, rather than regret for his inaction. 【小题1】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word“backfired” in Paragraph 2? A. Worked. B. Disappeared. C. Survived. D. Failed. 【小题2】What can we know about Jeremy? A. He is a selfish child. B. He likes to eat grapes. C. He is inactive in activities. D. Ho studies magic in class. 【小题3】What lesson did the author learn by helping her own child? A. Sharing can help reduce nervousness. B. Quiet children can be as active as anyone else. C. Teachers should try their best to help each student. D. More should be done to improve teachers' ability. |

Can you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother ? as much as we might like to dream that it were the case. Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation ? or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary? Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect. At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too. Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker. But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices(偏见) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy ? one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are. More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people. And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place. One study in 1975, for instance, found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway ? perhaps as a mark of respect, but still making interaction more distant. “Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space ? but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person,” says Frevert. Interestingly, the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures. Ultimately, Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety ? even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.” 【小题1】From paragraph 1, we can learn that _______. A. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearance B. most people are not afraid of being too beautiful C. we might always dream about being bothered by others D. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone 【小题2】Which is the benefit for beautiful people? A. An attractive plaintiff has more chances to get away with punishment. B. Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders. C. Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities. D. Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case. 【小题3】The writer mentioned the underlined sentence in the last paragraph to _______. A. persuade us to pay more attention to our looks from now on B. suggest that beauty can help make a better personality C. encourage us to focus more on improving our personality D. ask ugly people to have more confidence in their personality 【小题4】What might be the best title for the passage? A. Negative Sides of Beauty B. Sexist Prejudice C. Blessed with Beauty D. Beauty vs Ugliness |
