But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like th e “c lose” button on an elevator．Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the elevator doors to shut. But according to experts, the buttons are a complete trick—the doors will not close any faster however hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, making sure that all elevators stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only firefighters and maintenance workers(维修工) can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys. But to normal elevator riders, the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control. Experts have showed that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer-controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”. They still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.That habit is here to stay, John Kounios, a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US, told The New York Times. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not try the chance?”25. The author writes the text to______________.A. inform readers of kinds of fake buttonB. analyze what roles fake buttons playC. explore different ways to push buttonsD. explain why fake buttons were introduced26. The underlined “for t his same purpose” in Paragraph 4 p robably refers to_____________.A. making people more patientB. improving people’s bad moodC. helping people build up confidenceD. offering people a sense of control27. What can we know from John Kounios’ words?A. Pressing fake buttons is of no meaning at all.B. People don't know that what they press is fake.C. Some people press fake buttons just to kill time.D. People are supposed to quit pressing fake buttons.CHave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, th ey have been given a new name — phubbers（低头族）.Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while ot hers are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.28. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A. To advertise the cartoon made by students.B. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.C.

Advice on how to use a cell phone.B. People who are addicted to phubbing.C. The possible consequences of phubbing.D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.DCounterfeit(假的) medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries. Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too little or none of the active ingredients of the real thing.People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases, counterfeits cause death. Twenty children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen(对乙酰氨基酚).The medications contained ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeit. The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries. The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States, Canada, Japan and New Zealand.But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify. And there are existing methods, like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Other ideas include things like special tracking codes for drug packages. People could send a text message with the code and get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database. Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms(全息图)on their products as a security device.32.

It shows the danger of counterfeit drugs.D. Some measures are being taken to fight counterfeit drugs.35. Which of the following country may have serious problems of counterfeit medicines?A. Canada.B.
