AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1. The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of t he white horse because he knew ________.A. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the nameB. the picture of the white horse wasn't good for the barC. people would understand the picture different from the nam eD. a picture of a black horse showed good luck2. Mr. Webster agreed with the stranger ________.A. because he knew he was an artistB. though he didn't like the black horseC. though he wasn't ready to do it at firstD. because he want ed to change the picture3. More and more people came to the bar because ________.A. it had changed its nameB. they wanted to show t he mistakeC. the bar had a black horseD. the black horse was bet ter than the white one4. From the story we have learned that ________.A. if your business isn't good, you'd better change the name o r the pictureB. when you have difficulty, don't give upC. if you are in trouble, you should take others' ideasD. when a good name is given, it can cause successBWhy do people lie? A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________. A．he feels very nervous B．he is trying to calm down C．he wants to draw attention to himself D．he wants to rel ease heat7．Where is this passage probably taken from?A．A website B．A magazine. C．A newspaper D ．A letter.CMany pet owners see their pets as family members. However ，when they have to go away on business or for some other rea sons, they feel guilty about it and wish they could do somethin g for their deeply loved pets. The Pet Hotel is set up especiall y for this reason.What do we offer?The Pet Hotel offers pets large rooms and the latest equipme nt. Like other hotel rooms，we offer color TVs，suitable beds，sofas and other pieces of furniture for pets. We prepare great food for the little guests，walk them at least twice a day，and provide them with all kinds of amusements（娱乐活动）. In addition，we brush and clean pets.

But climbing telephone poles? Now that's a whole different story.In 1978, I became the first female lineman in Columbus, Geor gia. I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it. I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself.I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at other outdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997.I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy (假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encourage d me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around to wn and show him the wires I'd spliced (加固) that day. People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, “Look, that's a woman up that pole." One day I heard a man sa y, “Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!" Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential. Sometimes I felt a little nerv ous,but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could have d one what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it.5.When the author first became a lineman, .A. she was sure to be promotedB. she loved it and went all out for itC. she tried her best to convince her husbandD. she received immediate recognition from colleagues6.What is needed to be a lineman according to the author?A.

Open-minded and supportive.CMotorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after e ngineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has b uilt a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning fork s to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving ov er them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “forme d in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing s imple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones.”There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan —one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving ove r them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tone s.The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,” wrot e one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playi ng fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a sl ow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick.”8. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes i s depended on _____.A. how far the grooves areB. how big the grooves areC. the number of the groovesD. the speed of the car9. The underlined word “optimal” in the passage might mean _ _______.A. fastestB. possibleC. bestD. slowest10. In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.A. drive very fastB. drive slowlyC. open the windows wideD. keep the windows closed11. What’s the best title of the passage?A.A New Type of MusicB. Melody Roads in JapanC.A Musical Road SurfaceD.A New Invention in JapanDBabies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. New rese arch suggests they're lipreaders too.Florida scientists discovered that starting around age 6 month s, babies begin shifting from the eye gaze(注视)to studying mouths when people talk to them.“In order to imitate you, the baby has to figure out how to sha pe their lips to make that particular sound they're hearing，” e xplains psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic Univ ersity, who led the study. “It's an incredibly complex process.”Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movem ents that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies s tart shifting back to look you in the eye again — unless they h ear the unfamiliar sounds of a foreign language. Then, they sti ck with lipreading a bit longer.In the experiment, David Lewkowicz tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? The y showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish t o babies of English speakers. A device tracked where each b aby was focusing his or her gaze and recorded how long the gaze lasted.They found a dramatic shift in attention: When the speaker us ed English, the 4month olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6 month olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8 and 10 month olds studied mostly the m outh. At 12 months, attention started shifting back toward thespeaker's eyes.It makes sense that at 6 months, babies begin observing lip m ovement, Lewkowicz says, because that's about the time babi es' brains gain the ability to control their attention rather than automatically look toward noise.But what happened when these babies used to English heard Spanish? The 12 month olds studied the mouth longer, just lik e younger babies. They needed the extra information to decip her (破译)the unfamiliar sounds.“It's a pretty interesting finding，” says University of Iowa psyc hology professor Bob McMurray, who also studies baby spee ch development. The babies “know what they need to know a bout, and they're able to draw their attention to what's importa nt at that point in language de velopment.”12. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Babies Learn to Talk from Hearing SoundsB. Babies Learn to Talk by Reading LipsC. How Babies Learn Language after BirthD.
