There were often more than a dozen customers in the bank.D.More banks should be open to serve customers in the city center.57.The bank clerk wore a blank expression on his face probably because___________.A. he was feeling upset at that momentB. he felt puzzled and sensed something terribleC. he was required to keep silenceD.he was threatened with a gun by robbers58.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The custmomers didn’t wait in line but jumped the queue because of the confusionB. All the people in the bank except the writer put their hands up automaticallyC.Nobody answered the phone because all the clerks were busy with workD.the bank workers were foreced to fill the robbers’ bags with cash59.What’s the best title of this passage?A.A Street GangB. A Strange BankC.A Bank RobberyD.A Horrible AdventureBWinter depression(or winter blues)is a common suffering for those who live in our northern climate.Its clinical name is seasonal affective disorder(SAD)and up to 5% of the population(especially in northern states)may suffer from it.SAD is characterized by(其特点是)feelings of sadness and depression that occur in the winter months when the temperature drops and the days grow short.The depression is often associated with excessive eating or sleeping and weight gain.Women are twice to three times more likely to suffer from the winter depression than men.There are many effective treatments for winter depression,some of which you can do to help yourself.Increasing your daily exposure to as much natural light as possible can be helpful to many.Any time that you have the opportunity to gain access to more sunlight in the winter months,you should try to do so.Taking walks throughout the day(even if you don’t normally do so),sitting next to a south-facing window at your office,in a classroom,or at home will increase your sunlight exposure.Exercising next to a window or outdoors when possible is another activity that can help.Although it may be difficult to do,maintaining your schedule and lifestyle will help to keep the depression at bay.A regular pattern of sleep is the most important thing to maintain.It may be helpful,for example,to have your bedroom lights on a timer to turn on a half-hour before you wake.This may help in waking at a regular time every morning,when it is still dark outside in the winter months.Light treatment has shown to be effective for seasonal affective disorder.While you can buy expensive and specialized light treatment lighting fixtures for your home or office,some inexpensive alternatives are also available.Another lighting technique to try is to replace commonly used light bulbs in your home with brighter full spectrum(also known as broad spectrum)light bulbs.While more expensive than regular light bulbs,these bulbs provide light that is similar to natural sunlight.If none of these techniques seem to help your depressive symptoms,you should consider consulting a doctor or a mental health preofessional.The winter blues are a form of depression and can be readily treated with medicine or psychoterapy(心理疗法)when other self-help methods aren’t effective.Don’t be afraid to talk about this condition with a professional;it’s nothing to be ashamed of afraid of.With a little effort,the winter blues can be beaten.60.What do we know about winter depression according to the passage?A.It is very common where the weather is cool.B.It may lead to weight gain.C.It always occurs in southern states.D.It seldom affects men.61.What is the most important factor in the treatment introduced in the second paragraph?A.Exposure to natural lightB.Sports in winter months.C.Outdoor activitiesD.Exercising indoors.62.For winter depression,light treatment___________.A.is much more difficult than other kinds of therapyB.is so expensive that some may not be able to afford itC.encourages people to do indoor exercisesD.needs specialized bulbs to replace ordinary ones63.We can infer from the passage that_______.A.self-help methods do not work completelyB.psychotherapy is much more effective than medicineC.mental health professionals don’t recommend self-help methodsD.most people prefer self-help methods to medicationsCChildren of all ages love birthday parties at the Staten Island Zoo.Where else can you invite real party animals to join in the fun?Who is

It plays the role of a laptopC. It makes students confused about choosing booksD.It supplies the power to the system 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项），并在答案卡上将该项涂黑。
