Jeff Deck pulled down his dark car and headed to Brennan‘s Market with his partner Benjamin Herson. ―The store was pretty clean.‖ Deck says, ―but then we saw it.‖ In the fruit section. Deck and Herson approached a young woman who was making signs.

―excuse me. Ma‘am. ―said Duck. ―I‘m a professional typo (排版错误) hunter and fixer. The sign for Washington apples is missing an n. It reads Washington‘‖

She nodded her head and went back to her signs.

―we can fix it ourselves.‖ Deck said. ―I have my typo-correction tools right here.‖ Deck carries the tools with him at all times, even to weddings.

―Oh, no. We have a special marker for the signs.‖ She said.

Deck an Herson went off by themselves and quietly debated changing it without permission- a bold move they don‘t like to make unless absolutely necessary. Then they asked another employee. Who cheerfully agave them permission to put in the missing n. ―It was the classic if Mom says no ask Dad move.‖ Deck says

Deck spent much of last year travelling across America, righting wrong writing on sings as small as board notices and as big as advertising boards. And with his determination. Deck was awarded the Indiana Jones of typos at the end of the year. Sleeping in tents or friends- of –friends coucjhes. Deck spent the year living on hamburgers and pancakes as he searched for the wild mistakes.

Crossing into Arizona from New Mexico., they jumped over a wire fence and ran across a board adverting tourists to bring their ―camera‘s‖ ―That was a big one.‖ Deck says. ―The punctuation was about the size of my head.‖ At an Office Deput in Texas. Deck and Herson spotted a number of wrong signs, all nine feet high. Their friend and host Psula advised them to use a rolling stepladder and change the signs themselves. ―I worked at an Office Depot for five years,‖ she said ―They won‘t care.‖

Deck was raised in New Hampshire, graduated from Dartmouth with a degree in creative writing, and spent a couple years in Washington D. C., at Ruck & Minerals margarine. He realized his true calling at a Dartmouth reunion in 2007. ―There were classmates caring cancer, and I was doing nothing.‖ He remembers. ―I started thinking about how I could change the world i n my way. ―deck is proud of what he is doing.

If you don't want to send the wrong message, watch how you punctuate1 your texts.

Text messages that end with a period are perceived to be less sincere than messages that do not, according to newly published research from Binghamton University. A team of researchers led by Celia Klin, associate professor of psychology2 and associate dean at Binghamton University's Harpur College, recruited 126 Binghamton undergraduates, who read a series of exchanges that appeared either as text messages or as handwritten notes. In the 16 experimental exchanges, the sender's message contained a statement followed by an invitation phrased as a question (e.g., Dave gave me his extra tickets. Wanna come?). The receiver's response was an affirmative one-word response (Okay, Sure, Yeah, Yup). There were two versions of each experimental exchange: one in which the receiver's response ended with a period and one in which it did not end with any punctuation3. Based on the participants' responses, text messages that ended with a period were rated as less sincere than text messages that did not end with a period.

According to Klin, these results indicate that punctuation influences the perceived meaning of text messages. Even though most of the important social and contextual cues were missing, the sincerity4 of the short messages was evaluated differently depending on the presence or absence of a period. "Texting is lacking many of the social cues used in actual face-to-face conversations. When speaking, people easily convey social and emotional information with eye gaze, facial expressions, tone of voice, pauses, and so on," said Klin. "People obviously can't use these mechanisms5 when they are texting. Thus, it makes sense that texters rely on what they have available to them -- emoticons, deliberate misspellings that mimic6 speech sounds and, according to our data, punctuation."

In some very recent follow-up work, Kl in‘s team found that a text response with an exclamation mark-an‖!‖ is interpreted as more, rather than less, sincere.

―That‘s not surprising, but it broadens our claim,‖ said Klin,‖ Punctuation is used and understood by texters to convey emotions and other social information. Given that people are good at communicating complex information in conversations, it‘s not surprising that as texting evolves, people are finding ways to convey the same types of information in their texts.‖

63. Students taking part in Klin‘s experiment________

A. divided the messages into two groups

B. responded to the message with one word

C. sent messages containing an invitation

D .told their feelings on different messages

64. The underlined word ―cues‖ in Para.3 probably mean____.

A. topics that warm up conversations

B. evidences that help express oneself

C. customs that people usually follow in society

D. emotions that texters try to hide in the messages

65. According to Kin‘s research, which of the following messages might be the most preferred one?

A. ―No problem!‖

B. ‖Okey?‖

C. ―I‘d love to.‖

D. ―Sure.‖

66. What ?s the passage mainly about?

A .How emotions are conveyed in text messages

B. How wrong messages are avoided in text messages

C. How complex information is expressed in text messages

D. How punctuations influence communication I text messages

How Super Are Supermarkets?

Buying e week‘s groceries is tiring. You want to get it over and done with quickly, so you head for the neare st supermarket, you find everything you need under one roof, and you feel glad that those days of going in and out of different shops in the high street are over. Supermarkets seem to be a big plus. There is a downside, though.

In the UK 90% of all the food people consume is bought at 5 different supermarket chains. This makes these companies extremely powerful, which lets them use their huge buying power to squeeze small suppliers to get the best deal. Milk is a good example. Supermarkets like to use t hings like milk, which is the top of almost everyone‘s shopping list to attract customers. To offer the lowest price possible to the consumer, the supermarkets force dairy farmers to sell milk at less than the cost of production. Supermarkets guarantee their good profits while farmers are left struggling to make ends meet, and the taxpayer pays to support the system without even knowing it.

It would be nice if local grocers supported local agriculture. But for the big supermarkets this just doesn‘t make sense. Supermarkets don‘t want little farmers thinking they can decide prices. So supermarkets have started a global search for the cheapest possible agricultural produce. In many supermarkets it is difficult to find anything which is produced locally.

UK farmers used to grow a lot of apples. Not anymore. In 1999 36% of apples were imported. By 2015 the figure had risen to 80% and the domestic production of apples had fallen by two thirds. The consumer might just be happy to get a reasonably priced meal made up of foods from Thailand, Spain, Italy and Zambia, but we should also bear in mind the Influence on local producers.

Then there‘s packaging. Supermarkets like everything to be packed and wrapped so it can be piled neatly on shelves. Supermarkets produce nearly 10 million tons of waste packaging in the UK every year, of which less 5%is recycled. Some supermarkets make sure that large recycling bins are obvious in their car parks, showing that they are environment-friendly. But that is just an image.

When a new supermarket is planned there are claims about the number of new jobs that will be created. Unfortunately, the number of jobs lost in the area is larger than the number of new positions in the supermarket. On average each new supermarket leads to the loss of 276 jobs.

However, the modern world is all about shopping, and the freedom to buy whatever you what, so it would be impossible to stop people shopping at some particular kind of shop. But some measures do need to be taken when small

su ppliers lose profits, local producers suffer, sea levels rise and jobs are lost, anyway, we can‘t just care about a free car park and special offers.

67.The author mentions ―milk‖ in paragraph 2 to explain how supermarkets ____________.

A. cheat the taxpayers

B. support local dairy farmer

C. harm small suppliers ?benefits

D .provide customers with the cheapest product

68.According to the passage, supermarkets keep price advantage by_______________.

A. competing against each other

B. importing foreign products

C. purchasing local products

D. reducing product tax

69.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

CP: Central Point P:Point SP: Sub-point C:Conclusion

70.What is the author‘s attitude towards supermarkets?

A. Critical

B. Sympathetic

C. Doubtful

D. Cautious

The Next North-European Ice Age

Global warning doesn‘t just mean that the world will slowly get warmer. __71__The latest predictions are that northern Europe could even be thrown into an ice age. While areas of south-eastern Europe, such as Greece, would continue to get hotter and drier, Britain could find itself, in the winter months at least, surrounded by sea ice.

__72__This is one of the biggest expanses of ice in the world-around 1,500 Km long and 600 km wide .It is so big that if it all melted(融化).sea levels would rise by 7 meters, Due to greenhouse gases, the Greenland ice sheet is melting at an alarming rate. __73__.

The link in the chain of events is what some call the Gulf Stream and others call the Atlantic Conveyor. This is the stream of warm water that comes up from Central America and flows across the Atlantic to northern Europe. This huge mass of warm water accounts for the relatively high temperatures enjoyed by Britain. __74__At its northernmost point it cools and sinks because the waters from warm areas has a higher salt content. making it heavier than the water near the Arctic. The cold water then flows south close to the ocean floor, back towards central and south America to complete the cycle.

__75__They have observed that the water flowing from the melting Greenland ice sheet is flowing into the path of the Gulf Stream. The water from the melted ice will stop the water in the Gulf Stream sinking in the north, thereby cutting off the deep southerly current, which, in turn, will cut off the northerly flow of warmer water. At that point the seas around Britain will begin to freeze.

A.Unfortunately, things are not so good.

B.It could cause certain areas to get colder.

C.The reason for this concerns the Greenland ice sheet.

D.It is transported across to Europe near the surface of the Atlantic.

E.Researchers in northern Europe don‘t think global warming is a bad thing.

F.Scientists begin to make predictions of an ice age in northern Europe.

G.But how could it threaten to throw northern Europe into a new ice age?

提示词：毛利族舞蹈：Mori Dance

On the second day after the Spring Festival, my family visited the International Temple Fair.

Arriving at the front gate, we were amazed to see beautiful decorations like balloons and cartoon figures, which added to the festival atmosphere .we couldn‘t wait to get inside.

Exploring the fair, we visited many stands of foreign foods and goods, such as European handcrafts, Spanish products as well as Japanese and Korean delicacies. It was a great chance to buy and try many things from different countries.

Then we were attracted by loud and beautiful music. We followed the music and found a great New Zealand Mori dance. It was the first time that I had watched such a performance at the scene. I loved it very much and luckily, my whole family got the chance to take photo with a Mori Dancer.

Such was my special experience in the International Temple Fair, a discovery and rediscovery of foreign cultures.
