Unit 2 English around the world李仕才【阅读理解】Restaurant chefs, home cooks, and foodies — people who love good food — often say that we eat with all of our senses.First, we use our sense of sight to appreciate how a meal is presented, either on a dinner plate or a dining table. Our sense of touch can also be important when preparing or sharing food.Next, with our sense of smell, we breathe in the mouth-watering aromas (香味) rising up from the meal. Finally, we enjoy the food with our sense of taste.But what about our sense of hearing? Does sound also affect our dining experience?A new report answers, “yes, it does. ”That answer comes from researchers at Brigham Young University in the United States. They found that hearing is important in the eating experience.Hearing is often called “the forgotten food sense, ” says Ryan Elder, “if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less. ”On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.The researchers admit that the effects may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month, or a year, all that food can really add up.But besides not overeating, there is another upside.Hearing the noises of your meal as you eat, could help you to be more mindful of the experience and perhaps help you to enjoy it more.【文章大意】本文告诉人们享用食物时, 会用到五种感觉: 视觉、触觉、听觉、嗅觉和味觉; 并着重说明了听觉对人们进食量的影响。

Unit 2 English around the world李仕才一、阅读理解AMy daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.”But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon（三项全能）.On Saturday, with a thund erstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, a nd we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.1.Kelly is nervous when ________.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that______.A. the race began in the early morningB. Kelly was eager for her turn in the raceC. the whole family gave Kelly supportD. her brother’s birthday party was delayed.3.In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day” becauseKelly________.A. Took part in the sportB. Expressed love to herC. Won the gold medalD. Changed completely4.What kind of person do you think Kelly is?A. Timid and determinedB. Cute and confidentC. Fearful and energeticD. Sociable and brave【文章大意】本文讲述了“我”的女儿Kelly是个慢热型的人，和陌生人在一起她会很紧张很害羞，看到女儿赢得奖牌是作为父母最大的荣耀。

Unit 2 English around the world李仕才***阅读理解People who possess high selfesteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others. Dr. Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves， but with love and selfrespect anyone can be above normality and grasp success with the family， the office， or others.We have become too reliant on intelligence， beauty， and money for our own self esteem. The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals. In a series of reading Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements， how to change them into selffacing behavior， and how to take charge of your mental attitude. Where other motivational and selfhelp work stops with the theoretical plan for success， Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using selfesteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace， he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.Selfesteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations（肯定） and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of selfdestruction. These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control. People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander， faster， and more beneficial for others. Douglas approaches this process of selfdevelopment as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.For more than thirty years， Dr. Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drugfree children. He is the author of fifteen books， including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了自尊心强的优势以及如何培养自尊。

The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl，yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards.When somebody asks her，“How do you hear？” She responds，“How do you hear？Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie，and for us too，listening is not only hearing，but is understanding.We need to listen to what is said and unsaid，and also how it is said.It’s important to hear what people say accurately.As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug(萤火虫)．”If you miss something or you’re not sure you’ve heard accurately，ask the speakers.At this point you’re not evaluating what they say，but just looking for accuracy and understanding.Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don’t say.Why are they saying this now，instead of sooner or later？Why are they emphasizing these points，instead of something else?Listen to how it is said.People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say.While going through the next points，think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss，and see if any of these signals might come up.First，voices.When others speak，notice changes in their volume，pace，and tone.Second，body language.Notice gestures，eye contact，and facial expressions.Do these sync what they are saying，or do they tell a different story？Third，emotions.What is the person’s true feeling？Now you might not know for sure，but be considerate，open to understanding，and ask thoughtful questions.【解题导语】本文讲述了聆听的内涵。

If you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components, ” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use. ”The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degree thesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thief the moment he begins to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram/car and a serious theft.Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit, ” he says.Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.【文章大意】文章介绍了一种新型的防止自行车被盗的报警装置。

wet.James was so angry that he went upstairs 10.to_hit(hit) Smith over the head.Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe best-known example of external(外部的) influence causing language change is the “Americanization” of world culture,which has caused English words to appear in city streets all over the world.The effect is most noticeable in pop music.Foreign groups often record in English,and the words are picked up and repeated in the same language everywhere,even by children who otherwise have little or no mand of the language.I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count “one,two,three”,but only by adding the words “o’clock,four o’clock rock” at the end.Some people are often strongly critical of the influence of English on their language—especially when an English word replaces a traditional word.In1977,France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent(意义相同的) French expression existed—but the law seemed to be honoured more in the breaking than in the observing.Some other countries have considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect,and that the arrival of loan words(外来词) can greatly enrich a language(as indeed in the case of English itself,which has a long history of weling foreign words).However,not everyone is critical.In particular,mercial firms and advertisers are well aware of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring.In Japan,English is even used in television mercials,despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand exactly what was being said:the excellence implied by the mere use of English is apparently enough to mand the strategy to the advertisers.Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign languages,but surveys are slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected.Sentences of the type “The book sells well”,using an active construction for a passive meaning,have begun to appear in Danish(Bogen soelger godt).Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word,and do not translate it into the native form,e.g.drinks.There are many other such cases.1.Why could the Brazilian child speak “one,two,three” in English?A.Because he had seen these words everywhere in the street.B.Because he had learnt how to tell the time in English.C.Because he had made himself master of English.D.Because he had heard these words in songs a lot.2.What can we infer about the law passed in France in 1977?A.It was strict.B.It was unfair.C.It was often ignored.D.It was strongly opposed.3.Some Japanese mercials use English in the hope of .A.following the American trendB.being world-famousC.enriching JapaneseD.increasing sales4.The last paragraph is mainly developed by .A.providing examplesB.making parisonsC.explaining grammar rulesD.analyzing language changeBAccording to a historian，uniforms were introduced into the United States around 1979 to deal with the problems of violence among students.Statistical reports state that only 15% of primary schools and around 10% of secondary schools in the United States have strictly carried out the uniform policy.In recent times it has bee the most debated topic among parents and educators，with many critics stating the fact that wearing uniforms has no effect on the thought process of a student nor does it considerably reduce inequality among the masses.Students are instructed to follow certain rules：for boys，pants，shirts with turtlenecks，sweaters and jackets are acceptable，while in some schools，shorts are strictly forbidden；similarly，for girls，long skirts，blouses，pants and fla theeled shoes are acceptable.School uniforms in other countries such as Thailand，Indonesia，India and Pakistan were introduced during the British colonial period.In these countries，girls in senior schools usually wear broad trousers and boys wear pants and shirts.In preschool though，girls wear skirts and blouses and boys wear short pants and shirts.In other parts like New Zealand and Australia where the British colonial rule was in effect，the uniform system was followed in the public school system.The dress sense closely resembled that of the English students.The purpose of a school uniform is to promote team spirit，discipline and increase equality among all students.Though uniforms have intended to wipe out thediscrimination in the weaker section，critics have a different story to say.According to them，uniforms have no such great effect on students.This standardized dress has not helped students remove any barriers and is adding costs to the parents.In many countries，though students' wearing uniforms has produced some positive results，in the United States，the implementation(实施)requires a lot of efforts before we can achieve full success.1．What does the underlined word “masses” in the second paragraph refer to?A．Schools. B．Parents.C．Students. D．Teachers.2．What can we know about the uniform system in Australia according to Paragraph 3?A．The uniform system in the public school follows Britain.B．The Australian students dress more casually.C．The uniform system is the same as that in New Zealand.D．Most Australian students wear school uniforms.3．What's the intention of school uniforms at first?A．To encourage students to be more diligent.B．To improve students' academic achievement.C．To prevent students fighting with each other.D．To promote the equality among students.4．What's the attitude of the critics towards school uniforms?A．Supportive. B．Neutral.C．Negative. D．Factual.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过介绍美国目前校服的普及情况，讨论了校服的作用，最后指出在某些国家，如美国，校服制度的实施还需要努力。

Unit 2 English around the world李仕才【阅读理解】Restaurant chefs, home cooks, and foodies — people who love good food — often say that we eat with all of our senses.First, we use our sense of sight to appreciate how a meal is presented, either on a dinner plate or a dining table. Our sense of touch can also be important when preparing or sharing food.Next, with our sense of smell, we breathe in the mouth-watering aromas (香味) rising up from the meal. Finally, we enjoy the food with our sense of taste.But what about our sense of hearing? Does sound also affect our dining experience?A new report answers, “yes, it does. ”That answer comes from researchers at Brigham Young University in the United States. They found that hearing is important in the eating experience.Hearing is often called “the forgotten food sense, ” says Ryan Elder, “if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less. ”On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.The researchers admit that the effects may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month, or a year, all that food can really add up.But besides not overeating, there is another upside.Hearing the noises of your meal as you eat, could help you to be more mindful of the experience and perhaps help you to enjoy it more.【文章大意】本文告诉人们享用食物时, 会用到五种感觉: 视觉、触觉、听觉、嗅觉和味觉; 并着重说明了听觉对人们进食量的影响。

(2018·惠州高三调研)Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest.But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That’s true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years，and also spoke to these teens’closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27. This time, the questions surveyed each person’s overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced later health. Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight，family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues，such as anxiety and depression. And in these people，such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.Getting along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there arealso drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key.
