Ideas about social class –whether a person is “working - class”or “middle - class”–are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting. The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a most important thing, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. 【小题2】. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training)to make such long-term plans.【小题3】 . In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle –class supervisors (管理者). Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感). In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position. 【小题4】 .They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music andclothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. 【小题5】 .

Everyone has his own way to take the holiday selfies. How can you take the best holiday selfies? 【小题2】◆‘Food chew’styleWant to let everyone know how exciting your holiday food choices are? 【小题3】 You can also cut off a piece to show off what’s inside. But don’t have food hanging out of your mouth. Remember, food always looks best before being eaten.◆‘I’m so adventurous’styleRock climbing, hiking, surfing, or skiing? 【小题4】 Just let the natural settings make people go “wow”. One commonly used gesture is spreading out an arm to show how thrilled you are. But remember that no one likes a sweaty selfie.◆‘I am cultured tourist’style【小题5】 You can also try an optical illusion(视错觉)by making it look like you’re holding up the leaning tower of Pisa, touching the top of the Eiffel Tower, or picking the Sphinx’s nose.A.Just taking a selfie against a famous cultural site makes you look great.

高考英语阅读七选五专项训练(10题)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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

专项练习一For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.1 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today.Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉).This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 4 .By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.5 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.A.As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.B.Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.C.He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.D.However, he did not get much business for those products.E.He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.F.Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.G.As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.专项练习二Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people inindustrialized nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 1The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.2 So they are called "diseases of civilization".Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 3 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 4 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.B.But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C.In that case, they would live much healthier.D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F.People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.G.Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".专项练习三For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 1 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65 –team US men’s college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 2 Teams compete against each other in a single – elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 3 Colleagues against bosses.Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little – known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little – known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 4College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a namefor their university and themselves. 5 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post – season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A. Husbands against wives.B. The players will go all out for the games.C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.D. College students will ignore piles of homework.E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.专项练习四Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”4They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 5 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.专项练习五1 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2 . The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 3 It included such items as automobile sand new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “li fe-enriching”level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 5 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A.Then a third level appeared.B.Human wants seem endless.C.When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.D.There are several levels of wants in one’s life.E.At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F.Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G.Different people have different wants on each level.专项练习六We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 1 .So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结结巴巴)over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never h ave to do that again.”Cheep up! 2 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 3 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 4 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 5 .A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.D. Say what you have to say and then stop.E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.F. Never forget your audience.G. Give it a try and see what happens.专项练习七There is an English saying:“ 1._.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 2. ___Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 3._. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍耐) the pain for thelongest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 4.___.5.___. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing , making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A. Laughter can prolong one’s life.B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.D. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.E. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.专项练习八Why do some people have many friends while others do not? 1 However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illi nois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. 2 .The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation (积极性) and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others ,they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.3 After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all – white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown – eyed people were cleverer than blue – eyed ones because of an agent (化学作用) for brown colour found in their blood. Blue – eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown – eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue – eyedstudents became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown – eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. 4 .So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(同情) with them in their troubles. 5 .A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behaviour to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore(忽略)others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behaviour but also their confidence and their performance.F.You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students.专项练习九The seven Cs of a good letterWhat is the secret of writing a good letter? Here are two main ones.

AFour habits to live a happier lifeHaving a happier life is something we all always struggle for, and being happy includes so many aspects — mental, physical and spiritual — of our lives. One of the key principles of having a happier life is to always do things that bring us happiness. 1Consider the following habits to improve your life and make it as happy as you possibly can.Praise others.Be kind to others, like praising them. 2 Don't be afraid to tell people how great they look, or how awesome their smile is. It'll do them good, and do you good too!Focus on the present moment.Take some time every day to focus on the present moment. 3 Try not to think about negative past experiences and hug the time you have now. You'll soon find that even theslightest thing that you do at this moment can bring about happiness for many hours and days to come.Learn to control your emotions.4 And it's definitely not worth the emotions. Don't compromise on your happiness just because someone is trying to pick a fight. Just let it go (不要理会) and be happier.5Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a child's laugh or something as huge as a million-dollar deal. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.A. End each day with thankfulness.B. Of course, everyone loves to be happy.C. It is the only certain time we have in our life.D. It can make people happy and give them confidence.E. It's not worth the argument when your partner is testing your patience.F. So it is important to develop the right habits to ensure we live a happier life.G. Try to set aside a few hours a day, doing something fun to make yourself happy.BDo women talk more than men? 1 According to the latest research from the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. According to her study, little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts. 2These differences will continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do. In private conversations, men and women speak in almost equal amounts. 3 Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure (结构) of a relationship.4 “When a woman teaches another woman,” says Professor Tannen, “she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. When a man teaches a woman, however, he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.5 ”Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias (偏向) in its programming; otherwise, male speech patterns would not arise at all.A. And he uses his language to show this.B. Do men talk in the same way as women?C. However, they say things in a different style.D. Women are far more silent than men in public conversations.E. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.F. More women are encouraged to help each other, talking about their doubts.G. Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.CThe exciting game of footballFootball is one of the most popular sports in the US. 1 That kind involves kicking a round ball into a net and is called soccer in North America. American football, however, uses a ball that is pointy (尖的) on both ends. While it does include some kicking, there is more throwing and catching involved.In football, there are 11 players from each team on the field at one time. Each team tries to move the ball across the opposing team's goal line to score. The quarterback (四分卫) throws the ball, and the person who catches it tries to run past the opposing team's players. The way to stop someone running with the ball is to tackle him. That means hitting right against him and trying to knock him down to the ground. 2The biggest professional football organization in the US is the National Football League (NFL). The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl, and it is one of the most watched television events around the globe. 3 For example, millions of toilets are flushed (冲洗) at the same time during half-time. Also, 14,500 tons of chips are consumed during the game.Most sports fans are happy with just sitting in the stands and cheering on their teams. 4 They dress themselves in their team's colors. Some of the excitement happens before the games even begin. Fans gather and hang out in the parking lots outside the stadiums and have huge parties. 5 There are also endless amounts of sodas and beers. All of these combined with the game itself make football one huge and popular social event.A. However, it isn't the game of football played in other parts of the world.B. As a result, professional players have to be strong and quick.C. It is an exciting sport that can sometimes get pretty rough.D. There are many amazing facts about the Super Bowl.E. It is also the wealthiest sports league in the world.F. Everything from sandwiches to chips is served.G. For some, that is not enough.DThere are a number of tips that you can follow to help you find a job that suits your personality.List your strong and weak pointsBefore you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 1 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organising others, could be perfect.Ask others for their opinionsAlthough you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 2 They may come up with ideas that you haven't considered.You should, however, make sure that they aren't so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.Find out what potential jobs involve3 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.4When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it is possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don't enjoy. 5 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, then the chances are that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.A. Take a personality testB. Consider what delights youC. Think about what makes you happy and then analyse why.D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very important.E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.F. Sometimes, it isn't immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.答案A 1-5 FDCEAB 1-5 BECGAC 1-5 ABDGFD 1-5 GEFBC解析A篇(日常活动)本文是说明文。

北京高考英语阅读理解七选五专项训练

七选五Daily life has its satisfactions, such as the perfect reply to a friend’s text message, the first after-work drink, or the unexpected gift. ____1____ That moment when the mess of 21st-century existence disappears into the non-judgmental embrace of a soft bed.Somehow we have pushed this pleasure to the back of the queue. A third of American adults report sleeping less than the recommended seven hours. Many of us feel under-rested. For some, the problem is modern life: emails, to-do lists and screens. ____2____Now there’s increasing evidence that a lack of sleep is associated with higher risk of depression, cancer, and other problems. Research published in the European Heart Journal reports that heart disease was lower among people who went to sleep between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., no matter how long they slept. ____3____But after the appearance and rise of sleeping aids, is sleep the next part of human experience that will become increasingly tracked, counted and compared? We sigh at LinkedIn users who claim to wake up at Sam and learn Mandarin while meditating. But when people overcommit to sleeping well, it can be counter-productive.____4____ In his book Overcoming Insomnia and Sleep Problems, Oxford professor Colin Espie writes about ‘orthosomnia’, where people are so focused with sleeping well that they become too anxious to do so. The marketing of sleeping aids adds to this.Espie says we each have a sleep pattern that we figure out through trial and error. Genetically, some humans are larks and some are owls; the larks may just have better cardiovascular health. For an owl to try to fight their natural schedule, and sleep earlier, wouldn’t necessarily help.Basic sleeping advice is notably consistent, including keeping a regular pattern, cutting back on alcohol and caffeine and taking away all bedroom distractions. Instead of just loading sleep advice on individuals, we could integrate aspects of it into public health. ____5____ Employers could be sensitive to the different needs of their workers.A good night’s sleep is a profound pleasure. As far as possible, it should also remain a simple one.A.Such research is all well and good.B.The risk is that we ignore the problem.C.Then there are those who can’t sleep when they try.D.For other people, it’s the demands of work or family.E.But does any of these really compare to the joy of going to sleep?F.Schools could start later to coincide with children’s body rhythms.G.Stressing ourselves out about a lack of sleep can worsen the problem.Stare at a blank wall in any room, and you are unlikely to learn much more than the paint color. But a new technology can inconspicuously scan the same surface for shadows andreflections. ____6____ But they can be got by one tool and analyzed to determine details including how many people are in the room—and what they are doing.This tool could gather information from a partial view of a space. It can spy on activity from around a corner. ____7____As people move around a room, their bodies block a portion of any available light to create delicate and indistinct “soft shadows” on walls. ____8____ But these faint (微弱的) signals are usually drowned out by the main source of environment light. “If we neglect whatever we are observing, you would just be left with camera noise—and signal,” says Prafull Sharma, a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Sharma and other researchers did the experiment by filming a wall in a room as its occupants moved around and averaging the frames over time. ____9____ Then the team fed the videos into a machine-learning model to teach it which soft shadow patterns indicated which behavior. The resulting system can automatically analyze footage of a blank wall in any room in real time, determining the number of people and their actions.____10____ It can register only group sizes and activities for which it has been trained, and it requires a high-resolution camera; a standard digital camera creates too much background noise, and smartphone camera results are even worse.A.The technology is thought advanced.B.These can’t be caught by the human eye.C.They recorded various activities of the people in the room.D.Brightly colored clothing can even cast a light reflected glow.E.It also can monitor someone who avoids a camera’s line of sight.F.The system is considered a unique and wonderful discovery by camera specialists.G.Although this system can function in any room, it performs poorly in dim lighting.The 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago in China to guide agricultural production. They also reflect China’s rich history through the seasonal festivals, special foods, cultural ceremonies, family gatherings and even healthy living tips that correspond with each solar term.____11____Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, lively spring-like scenery starts blossoming: the river water defreezes. wild geese move from south to north and trees and grass tum green again.____12____In northern China, the spring drought is common and the precipitation of this season accounts for only 10 to 15 percent of annual average rainfall. At this time of year, farmers begin to plough their fields. It’s the right time to prepare for spring sowing when the day gets warmer.____13____During Rain Water period, extra care is needed to deal with a returning cold spell and humidity, which is the amount of water in the air.____14____It is strongly advised not to take off the thick coats too early and to keep warm, especially the elderly and children.The wet and humid weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people’s spleen and stomach according to Chinese medical practice.____15____People in Beijing often eat porridge(粥) cooked with a kind of Chinese herb medicine to resist cold and wet weather. Honey, dates and Chinese yam are also very good nourishment(营养) to put in the porridgeA.With Rain Water coming, insects become more active.B.A bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.C.Therefore, Rain Water is considered as a key period to water the fields.D.According to an old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil.E.The temperature in most of the basin areas increases quickly during Rain WaterF.One of the 24 solar terms, which is very important in spring, is called Rain Water.G.The fast increase in air humidity due to rainfall can result in lower temperature and wet weather.Alternative medicine has become much more popular in the West in recent years. ___16___ And they are turning to treatments such as homeopathy, yoga, and acupuncture(针灸)to complement or sometimes even replace the western medicine.Acupuncture is based on the idea that energy flows through the human body along 12 lines or meridians(经络), which end up at the organs in the body. ___17___ To remove the blockage, an acupuncturist inserts(插入)very fine needles into the body at points along the meridians. This stimulates the flow of energy, and restores the patient's health.Acupuncture only really became well-known in the West in the 1970s as people began to travel more frequently between the two areas of the world. ___18___ However in the last few years it has become more established as an alternative to western medical treatments, since clinical tests have shown that acupuncture is effective for some conditions. ___19___ Many sportspeople have experimented with acupuncture when fighting injury. Martina Hingis, the famous tennis player, had a wrist injury cured through treatment, and NBA legend Kobe Bryant also used acupuncture on his leg. It is also used to treat depression, stress and anxiety.___20___ In the past some people have experienced allergic reactions, broken needles and even punctured lungs while being treated, although this is very uncommon.A.The treatment is often used to relieve headaches, dental pain, etc.B.Illness is the result of a blockage of the energy flow to these organs.C.The treatment is thought to increase the body's resistance to infection.D.In the Far East, acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of complaints.E.However, before you go, check if the acupuncturist is qualified and registered.F.At first, doctors in the West often doubted about the medical value of acupuncture.G.It seems that people are becoming increasingly worried about the side effects of drugs.Overthinking the Small Stuff?How many decisions have you made over the last day, week... month?Drive or Uber? Suit or no suit? Italian or Thai? iPhone or Huawei?While today’s freedom of choice has obvious benefits, the constant pressure to make perfect choices can often rob our freedom, heighten our anxiety and lower our productivity.___21___ For starters, trying to perfect every single decision is a 'mission impossible,' making it pretty in vain.____22____ And finally, research shows that trying to nail every decision reduces our ability to perform at our best and make great decisions about the things that really matter.The irony is that people who try to make the perfect decision every time tend to suffer more anxiety about their decisions, feel less satisfied with them afterward and, unsurprisingly, are less productive than people who just go with ‘good enough’.“The habit of aiming for the best possible option every time actually robs people of satisfaction and effectiveness,” wrote Barry Schwartz on the Paradox of Choice. ___23___ However, they're generally less happy about what they eventually decide upon.Better than trying to maximize every choice is to make a ‘good enough’ choice that meets a basic level of satisfaction. So you didn’t get the best possible hotel at the best possible price? Move on. So the shade of yellow you chose to paint the sunroom was a little dark? Again, move on! ___24______25___ The reason is that they aren’t wasting precious time and energy on decisions that don’t really matter. So as you think about all the decisions you have to make in the day or month ahead, focus your precious time, talents and attention on the things that truly matter. A.There are a few reasons for this.B.But some researchers do not agree with it.C.Secondly, it can be mentally and emotionally exhausting.D.Much more important issues are waiting for your attention.E.Besides that, every decision you make may disappoint you.F.Such ‘maximizers,' as Schwartz calls them, spend more time and energy reaching a decision. G.Schwartz found that 'satisficers' who live by the ‘good enough’ rule actually get more done.参考答案:1.E2.D3.B4.G5.F【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。

Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host. , King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech.

What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinnersA. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.B. Drinking Malvern water.C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.D.
