Mencken said it first: “For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat and wrong.” And how often I am determined to keep pounding on that simple and neat solution until I make it work, or else I finally give up altogether. But success will surprisingly come when I decide to look at the thing from a wholly different perspective (视角).Several all night convenience stores in New York City had a problem with teenagers hanging out in their parking lots late into the night. Not that they didn’t like kids; but customers complained (抱怨) that they were afraid to approach them in the dark and push through them to enter the store. Neighbors complained that they couldn’t sleep with the noise.Managers tried various methods to solve the problem. They asked the kids to move away from the doors so customers didn’t have to push through them. Th ey asked them to throw their cigarette butts and trash (垃圾) in outdoor dustbins and not litter the parking lot. Each solution was simple, neat and completely ineffective. It seemed that any of them should have worked. But none of them did.Finally, one man came up with an unusual idea. Finding that asking the teens to change their behavior didn’t work, he tried something different. He just piped easy-listening music into the parking lot especially suited for mature listeners.No more loitering (闲逛).31. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To give advice.B. To make us laugh.C. To analyze a problem.D. To tell us an interesting story.32. The managers failed to solve the problem because _____.A. the kids didn’t like themB. their solutions were too complexC. they were not polite enough to the kidsD. they asked the kids to change their behavior33. Why did the kids leave the parking lots?A. They didn’t like the music.B. They got bored of playing there.C. They came to know it was unsafe.D. They were moved by the manager.34. By telling the story, the author intends to tell us _____.A. kids today are tough to deal withB. a simple solution is usually betterC. it’s better to calm down teenagersD. we should look at a problem in different perspectivesBA Chi ld’s History of the WorldProduct DescriptionV. M. Hillyer, the first headmaster of Calvert School, spent many of his school years studying only American history. Believing that studying world history would broaden children’s horizons (眼界) and give them a better understanding of the world and history in general, he set out to write an understandable and comprehensive (综合的) world history children could enjoy. A Child’s History of the World functions to familiarize young children with some historical events and people of significance while reading like a good story. The subjects are covered in chronological order, from the beginning of the world to the end of the Cold War. This gives the child a linear (线状的) view of world history that allows for the details to be filled in the future. A Child’s History of the World is a basic reader and is not intended to be used as a supplementary (补充的) reader.Customer ReviewsThis is a must-have book. It is complete and interesting and is easy to use and understand. My girls are so close in age that I was able to use it with all three at once and they loved it. And it’s inexpensive! Love the way it is written.——Katrena R. from Shingle Springs, CA This is a great book. Everyone (elementary/primary aged) should have this book in their homeschooling library. My kids (ages 4-9) have all enjoyed this book. It is interesting and well written for young ones. There is a lot of information packed into this book and it is presented in a way that is not boring for kids. It is kind of like a story of the world.——Patrice T. from Seattle35. From A Child’s History of the World, children can _____.A. improve their grades greatlyB. know many important people in the pastC. know important events mainly in AmericaD. get to know many historical details36. According to Katrena R., her children _____.A. learned history from a book togetherB. read A Child’s History of the World to each otherC. each had a copy of A Child’s History of the WorldD. used A Child’s History of the World to improve their writing37. From the two reviews, we know that children enjoy A Child’s History of the World mainly because of _____.A. its writing styleB. its simple wordsC. its low priceD. its amusing storiesCWe all know that global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, largely carbon dioxide, which is given out by everything ranging from home appliances(电器) and cars to the heating andlighting systems of office buildings. But since we don’t see the gas, most of us simply shake our heads and then continue with our bad habits. Now, researchers at Arizona State University are trying to change that.Directed by associate professor Kevin Gurney, the Hestia Project’s main goal is to make something that is currently intangible (无形的) into something a little more tangible, by allowing all of us to visually see how much each and every one of us is “contributing” to global warming.In order to obtain a complete picture of the city’s environment, the team begins by collecting data from all different sources. Then, using special software they divide the emissions (排放) into three categories — commercial entities (实体) (office buildings and industrial plants), households and vehicles. This is the stage where things start to get really interesting. That’s because instead of showing all this information using graphs that we all instantly lose interest in, they create a visual “film” that shows not only the carbon emitted by each entity, but also the exact location it is coming from and the amount, which varies depending on the time of day or season. For example, the car emissions during rush hour are the highest, as is the case for commercial buildings during the day, especially during winter months when the heating is on.Kevin knows that some of the data shown may start a blame game among the residents (居民) of the city. However, he is hoping that the people will go beyond that and instead use it to make changes in their daily lives.38. According to the text, most people ignore the problem of greenhouse gases mainly because _____.A. the problem is not very seriousB. bad living habits are hard to changeC. greenhouse g ases can’t be seenD. they think they have done nothing wrong39. With the efforts of Kevin’s team, people can _____.A. see a film about the effects of greenhouse gasesB. study methods of cutting greenhouse gasesC. know a certain place’s emi ssion at different timesD. get information on emissions with various graphs40. By saying “some of the data shown may start a blame game among the residents of the city”, the author means that _____.A. Kevin’s team may get criticizedB. the Hestia Project may be treated as a gameC. residents may feel guilty of their bad behaviorD. people may accuse each other of carbon emissions41. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To introduce a research project.B. To give advice on cutting emissions.C. To show the harm of carbon emissions.D. To call on people to protect the environment.DAmong all mass media (大众传媒), newspapers are regarded as the most effective source of promotion. Advertising in newspapers is a highly efficient way to explore the best opportunities for your business. Advertising in newspapers is still regarded as the most useful in the age of online media. Here you will come to know why it is so beneficial.Firstly, as an advertiser, you must focus on the cost of the promotional medium. Newspaper advertising gives you the opportunity to get the highest response in minimal (最小的) budget in comparison with other media. Newspaper ads also give the option to manage the cost according to the availability of resources with you. Text classified is especially for this purpose. It takes very small space, but it does not mean that it has no response. It helps focus on target audience as it is divided into categories.The most beneficial aspect of newspaper advertising is trust building. The print medium is one of the oldest mass media. So, newspaper advertising always helps in branding.Meanwhile, this form of advertising gives you complete freedom to target the specific geographical location. If you want to only cover the local residents (居民) of a particular city then regional language newspapers are best for you. If your focus is to compete with countrywide players then give ads in a national newspaper.You can also focus on a particular group of population by advertising in certain newspapers. Every newspaper gives the special attention to a particular part of population. Dainik Jagran mainly entertains the middle and lower classes of population while Times of India is the newspaper for modernized parts. The target audience of any newspaper can also be divided on the basis of age group.42.
