AHave you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days.I was discouraged, tired, and plain sad. My focus was on me.After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials I was.I expressed my upset state t o my mother, hoping for some pity.Instead, she said, “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too.Why don't you make her some cookies and take them to her this afternoon?”I didn't really want to, but decided that I didn't want to go back to my other problems just yet.I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate.Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small note of empathy(共鸣）.That afternoon I dropped by my friend's house.I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit. Before she could say anything I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” The look that came over Jamie's face was one t hat I could never put into words.It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun；it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.I got back into the car and for some amazing reason. I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barrie attempted to describe, “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”21 The author made cookies and arranged them on a plate______.A. so as to show off his skillsB. to stop thinking about his own worriesC. not to let his mother feel downD. not to show his sadness to others22. How did Jamie feel when seeing the author's coming?A. S he lit up very soon.B She was surprised and scared.C. he couldn't express herself.D. She poured out all her worries.23. What do you think of the author's mother?A. Sympathetic.B. Willing.C. Instr uctional.D. Selfish.BAfter years of hearing drivers complain about scratches on their cars, Japan’s Nis san Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing — a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin (弹性树脂) that is able to heal minor marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石头碎片) or even on-purpose destruction.The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they’re gone, there is no trace that they were ever there.The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for atleast 80 percent of all incidents.But the complete auto-healing won’t come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $100 US to the price of a car.It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X-Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven’t been made yet, if it’s a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores, as well.24. From the article, we can find that _________.A. the paint has already been used on cars by nowB. marketing this paint in Europe is not under wayC. car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapesD. it beats other products of its kind in its lengthy effect25. The paint used on cars can _________.A. last 3 years before it is reapplied againB. fade only in a few daysC. reduce car scrape incidents to 20 percentD. help to protect minor paint damage26. What does the underlined part refer to?A. somewhere in JapanB. name for one kind of paintC. certain models of NissanD. a word standing for a car-dealer store27. What can be inferred from the article?A. The paint might work better in summer than in winter.B. The paint was developed by Nissan Motor Company.C. The mark on the car could disappear as soon as the pain is applied.D. The paint is very popular in Japan.CIt is the goal of politicians everywhere-----how to win and keep the trust of voters.Now researchers at the University of St Anurew’s in Scotland say they may have the answer. They believe politicians could learn a lot from recent advances in science. A growing number of studies have shown that people do judge a book by its cover. Researchers say most ofus make quick judgments about a person on the basis of how they look.Studies suggest that people are less likely to trust those with particularly masculine(男性的) features, such as a square jaw, small eyes or a big nose. “ They are considered dominant(支配的) and less trustworthy,” says Ms Cornwell. “It doesn’t mean that men who lo ok more masculine are less trustworthy-----it’s just our first impression.” Those with less masculine features-----larger eyes, a smaller nose and thinner lips are thought to be more trustworthy.The researchers are putting their science to the test at t he Royal Society’s annual summer exhibition in London. They have copied the faces of Prime Minister Tony Blair, Conservative leader Michael Howard and Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy stressing their dominant and trustworthy features. “ We have used a computer program to change the shape of their faces and features. We hope it will help people to understand our work.”So should we expect to see them at the exhibition getting tips?“I don’t think it’s something they will want to try,” says Ms Cornwell. “It’s not really possible with television. We all know what they look like.”28. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to _____.A. the researchersB. their featuresC. Tony Blair, Michael Howard and Charles KennedyD. computer programs29. According to the passage, we know that _____.A.facial features might give people some wrong impressionsB.people with good facial features must be trustworthyC.people with bad facial features could not be trustworthyD.we should judge people by their facial features30. According to Ms Cornwell, we can infer that _____.A.the science will give politicians great helpB.politicians won’t think highly of the scienceC.politicians could be successful with the help of the scienceD.politicians will be satisfied with the science31. What’s the best title for the passage?A. The Other Sides of PoliticiansB. How to Win the Trust of V otersC. How Science could Help PoliticiansD. An Important Discovery for PoliticiansDBefore World War II Chicago, Illinois, standing at the southern end of huge Lake Michigan ,had the reputation of being one of the toughest, most lawless and corrupt cities in the world, It earned its ill reputation largely from those who sold strong wine during the days of 1919 to 1933, when a law forbade Americans to make or sell strong wine in any form..Chicagoans have a great pride in their city.
