singers sing about them, and lovers and friends talk about them. We know that we can "control" emotions,
express" emotions and " feel" emotions. Is it possible that we can smell emotions? Are we able, like some
animals, to smell fear?
Sometimes you can see what emotions a person is feeling. When people are happy, they smile; when they
are sad, they might cry; when they are angry, their faces might turn red; when they are feeling shy, they might
sweat (出汗). These are all physical reactions (反应), so can we say that emotions are physical reactions to
something in our lives?
The problem is that emotions don"t always include physical reactions that we can see. Some people are
good at hiding their emotions, and different people can have different physical reactions to the same emotion.
Some people"s faces, for example, go white when they are angry and some people"s faces turn red. Some
people go quiet when they are angry and some people shout.
Sometimes there is a physical reaction that we can"t see. For example, a person might he nervous and feel
sick inside, but other people might not be able to see that We might be able to see or smell emotions, but we
can"t touch them. Can we describe them? In one way we can describe emotions. Everybody has some idea
what "happy" and "sad" mean. But in another way it is difficult to describe emotions. Is the way you "love" your
pet, your family, your friend, or your husband and wife the same? I always think it is strange in English that
we often write "love" at the bottom of a Christmas card or a letter to a relative we hardly know or hardly ever
see. We might write "love" al the bottiom of a letter to someone of the opposite sex (性别) who is just a friend,
but we wouldn"t write "love" at the bottom of a letter to somebody of the same sex even if we know that friend
much better.
Some people say that emotions are just a chemical reaction, but I don"t want to believe that. I don"t know
what they are, but life would be boring without them.
B. you might know it when you"re in danger.
C. you might smile when you"re happy.
D. you are good at hiding your emotions.
B. They don"t seem to like to talk to others.
C. They often talk to people in a loud voice.
D. They write to their friends or relatives.
B. We can hardly see a person"s feelings from his face.
C. We might smell or see emotions, but we can"t touch them.
D. We write "love" at the bottom of the letter to our closest friends.
B. It is just a chemical reaction.
C. It"s a physical reaction to something in our lives.
D. It can be controlled, felt, expressed and known easily.

Cleaning our home, love or hate it, is one job you have to work on. But that is not to say everyone spends
the same amount (量) of time or effort on making their places cidy. A new survey by CIF-experts on making
cleaning jobs easier shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven (炉), where you live
in the UK may show how much effot you put into the job.
BATHROOM
25% of men have never cleaned the toilet, but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in ten Welsh men
said Lhey never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You are not alone - a quarter
of a million British people say the same. 20% of Scottish people regard window-cleaning as their most hated
job.
KITCHEN
36% of people in the southeast say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the northeast
spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes, especially the kitchen. In sharp contrast (强烈的对比)
to that, 49% of Welsh people put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.
BEDROOM
18% believe cleamng starts here: thaCs the percentage of women who clean wear- ing their dressing gowns (a kind of clothes). 51% of women in the northwest may be staying in bed and giving their husbands a cuddle (拥抱) as a" thank you" for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.
LIVINGROOM
32% of women in the northeast tum up the CD player to help make the cleaning more fun. Almost six in
ten women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energet- ic exercise.

It"s no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half and no one knows
that better than CIF. For all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF s top tips:
●Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head. Give it a quick squirt (喷) with CIF bathroom spray (喷剂)
once a week.
●Stainless steel (不锈钢) tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Orchid Oxy-Gel lifts dirt easily

I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to New York in 1956. At first, I
held several jobs to eam a few dollars. Later, to live a better life, I bought my own taxi car. Till now, I"ve been in
the taxi car business for thirty-five years. I know there is a lot about taxi drivers that is not so good. Because of
this,people get the wrong impression (印象) that they are bad.
In fact, taxi drivers are just like other honest people. You can read in the papers almost every week where a
taxi driver tums in money or jewels people leave in their cars. One time in Brooklyn, I found a ring in my car. I
remembered helping a lady with a lot of bags that day, so I went back to the store where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her in order to retum the ring. I didn"t get as much as "Thank you. " Still, I
felt good because I had done what was right.
In all my years of driving a taxi car, I have never had any trouble with the public because I always try to be
nice to everyone. I try to be honest toward others. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try,
the easier it gets.
I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. It"s something that makes a man a good guy. This is
also my way to live by.

D. since he was 19

C. some money

Imagine that you are the first person ever to see Hawaii. What would be the first thing you would set foot on? The beach, naturally. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. These islands cover l,600 miles and are about 2,300 miles west of California. Most of them are covered with fine white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world. Another wonderful thing about the beaches of Hawaii is the water temperature. The year-round average (平均) temperature of the water at the famous Waikiki Beach is 23℃! The same is true of air temperature. In fact, there are no real seasons in Hawaii. There is a difference of only two or three degrees between the hottest day of summer and the coldest day of winter. That"s why the Hawaiians don"t have a word for weather in their language. Perhaps the nicest thing about Hawaiian beaches are the waves. The earliest settlers (定居者) in Hawaii, the Polynesians, quickly leamed how much fun it was to ride the waves. They developed a sport which is now very popular on the islands called body surfing. You go out into the ocean, wait for a big wave to come towards you, jump on it, and ride it all the way to the beach. Now imagine once again that you are the first person ever to set foot in Hawaii. What do you think would be the second beautiful thing you would notice? Would it be those strange triangles ( 三角形状物) rising out of the water hundreds and hundreds of meters high? What are those beautiful things? They are volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands. They made the islands at first. Because of them the islands are still growing. The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the world"s most active volcano. It has been erupting (喷发) for thousands of years. Even when it isn"t erupting, smoke comes out of the earth from a thousand little holes. In 1950 Mauna Loa erupted for twenty-three days. That erupting produced the greatest amount of lava (熔岩) in modem history. In 1960 it erupted again. That time it added a kilometer of beach to the island. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the world. These volcanoes could be dangerous to the population of Hawaii. In fact, hello, the second largest city in Hawaii, is built just under Mauna Loa. The volcano could erupt at any time. Most people believe that it will erupt sometime in the next twenty-five years. But the people of Hilo do not seem worried. They live with the danger as part of their lives. |

A. volcanoes are more active because the area of the island is enlarging B. the visitors to Hawaii can probably see more than one active volcano C. Mauna Loa is the tallest mountain in the world because it has erupted so often D. people in Hilo are sure that more visitors will come because of volcanoes |

Most people do not like to think about disasters (灾难) , so they do not prepare for them. This is a deadly mistake. Whether you can be alive or not is decided by preparation. Here are some tips that could save your life. 1. Getting through the first hour ● Choose an out-of-town person that each family member can call after the disaster if you become alone. Besides, choose two nearby places where family members know to meet. One shouid be close to your home. The other should be outside your neigh- bourhood. Keep your important papers at the bank or another safe place. ● Leave a disaster-supply kit (一套装备) ( see Part 5) near the front door. Make sure you keep it filled with fresh food and water. ● If you are advised to move to the safe place, leave the area right away. 2. The disaster-ready home You may have some time to prepare before certain types of disasters. Take hurricanes (飓风) as an example. ● Bring in anything that could fly around or blow away. ● Prepare your car for leaving. ·Fill bottles with drinking water. ● Keep your radio on for weather information. 3. The safest places ● Hurricane: stay in an inside space with no windows. Class could break and hurt you. ● Earthquake(地震) : get under the nearest heavy desk or table. This will protect you from falling things. 4. Preparing for the worst -do this now! ● Hurricane:during the hurricane season, keep a two-week supply of drugs. Have wood and nails (钉子) ready to cover windows. ● Earthquake: move beds away from windows, heavy pictures or mirrors. Place large and / or heavy objects on lower shelves. Learn how to shut off the electricity and water. 5. Your disaster-supply kit ● First-aid (急救用的) kit and drugs; spare clothes; a radio; car keys; important phone numbers. |
