阅读理解。     The British are known as people who love to stand in line, but a new research (调查) shows that the
British are only about average (平均数) at waiting politely in a queue. The French are the best. It"s the
Germans who don"t have a good habit (习惯) of standing in line. They can"t stand to wait for anything. They
begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesn"t seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast
enough for them.
     The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line-to get tickets,
to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that
they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half
minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British
in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others" time.
     The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do.
In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said," I" m terribly sorry. I didn"t realize there was a
queue. Do go before me." People smiled and said."Oh, that"s all right, one more won"t matter much."It was
also found in France, where 80% of the people didn"t mind standing in line. only if they were treated politely.
While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said,"If only they could learn
from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing,
they might find that the queue then moves faster." 1. The research shows that the people in _______ are the most polite in standing in line. A. Sweden
B. Britain
C. France
D. Germany 2. The Germans spend more time than the British in queues because they _______. A. always talk a lot with others

阅读理解。     It is said that more than four-million people die each year from smoking. That number is increasing.
Seven in ten of those deaths are in developing countries. These numbers are frightening.
     Yet people around the world continue to smoke. In the United States, about forty-seven-million adults
(成年人) smoke. This year alone, more than four-hundred-thirty-thousand Americans will die of diseases,
which have something to do with smoking. One day last month, thousands of Americans tried to stop
smoking. They were taking part in the Great American Smokeout. The American Cancer Society has
founded the Great American Smokeout every year for twenty-five years to show the dangers of smoking
and provide support for people who decide to stop smoking. The American Cancer Society says smoking
harms the body greatly. It warns that smoking even a small number of cigarettes (香烟) is dangerous.
     It is not easy to give up smoking. However, doctors say you probably will live longer if you do stop
smoking. You will feel better and look better. You also will protect the health of family members who
breathe your smoke. 
      The American Cancer Society says there is not just one right way to stop smoking. They say any way
to stop smoking that is effective (有效的) is worth trying. This could include (包括) taking long walks or

阅读理解。    Mr. Ma, a famous mental doctor (心理医生) from Beijing once said at an important meeting, "Now
many young students can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they

    “When can I get a cellphone?”The answer is when your parents think you need one,though many
kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13. Some younger kids may have them because their
parents see it as a matter of safety and convenience. For example,a kid can call mom and dad when
sports practice is over. And a cellphone can give kids almost instant access(快捷通道)to their parents if
something goes wrong or they need help.It can give parents quick access to their kids so they can check
on them and make sure they"re OK.
     If you do get a cellphone,make some rules such as how many minutes you’re allowed to spend on the phone, when you can use your phone,when the phone must be turned off,and what you will do if
someone calls you too often,and so on.
    You’ll also have to learn to take care of the phone in your life. Keep it charged (充电)and store it in the safe place so it doesn’t get lost. And whatever you do,don’t use it in the bathroom. I know someone
who dropped her phone in the toilet!
