On Christmas Day, 2003, a woman named Nancy Sue Brown took her daughter and grandchildren to see a movie at an AMC theater. When the movie was over, the crowd made for the exits. A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor” sign in the slippery area. No one slipped due to the wet conditions, but someone did manage to knock over the sign. And by the time Ms. Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor. And shortly thereafter, so was she. Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way, and she fell. Unfortunately, Ms. Brown had undergone a back operation, and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have. So she and her husband accused AMC．
AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor” sign above was to warn of danger, and therefore, courts should encourage the use by not allowing Brown’s case to proceed(继续进行). AMC referred to a case about a December,1998 incident where a “wet floor” sign, not in use, fell to the floor causing another trip-and-fall. In that case, Georgia’s Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store, but didn’t go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs couldn’t give rise to legal responsibility in trip-and-fall accidents. In the Brown case, the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMC’s argument that the former case applied.
But the Browns argued something surprising that the “wet floor” sign was, itself. dangerous, because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping risks.” That’s right- the safety sign, used in the way it was designed, was itself dangerous. The court thankfully didn’t accept that argument, at least not entirely. But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury(陪审团)-“a merchant’s selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”.
24．According to the text, Ms. Brown___________.
A．slipped on the wet floor B．tripped over a warning sign
C．knocked over warning sign D．was knocked down by the crowd
25．AMC mentioned the 1998 case in order to__________.
A．accept its legal responsibility for Ms. Brown’s loss
B．prove Ms. Brown had some physical problems
C．stress that it had no legal responsibility for the accident
D．prove other customers were responsible for the accident
26．What can we learn about the Brown’s case from the last paragraph?
A．It would be judged by jury. B．It would not be allowed to proceed.
C．The court would rule in favor of AMC． D．The court accepted all the arguments of the Browns.
27．The underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refers to “_______”.
A．danger B．customer C．business owner D．equipment in public places
C
Many of us know what it feels like to be an outsider (被排挤的人) high school. Some give in to the pressure to fit in; others remain “on the bottom of the social food chain”. However, Alexandra Robbins, the author of the book The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth believes what makes people unpopular in high school, mainly an unwillingness to obey, tends to translate into success as an adult.
Robbins has spent the past decade analyzing the behavior of high school students. She found the things that make a student different make them a target. But in adulthood and outside of the school setting, the things “that make you different make you interesting, fun, and often successful,” she told the UK’s Daily Mail.
She researched the qualities that people found most valuable in adults. The top qualities are: creativity, free-thinking, vision, authenticity, self-awareness, honesty, curiosity, love of learning, and courage. “Those are qualities that are far more likely to be found in school outsiders than in the popular kids,” she said.
According to Robbins, when people are in with a popular crowd, they are more likely to hide aspects of their identity in order to fit into the group. As she put it to Y, “You are more likely to have goals of social dominance(强势)rather than forming actual true friendships. You are more likely to let other people pressure you into doing things. None of those things is admirable or useful as adults.”
Meanwhile, in the eyes of Robbins, the outsiders are much more self-aware and much braver than the popular students. They are brave because they are sticking to being themselves in a challenging environment.
There are many celebrity examples of progress from unpopularity to later fame. Hollywood director Steven Spielberg was laughed at for being Jewish in high school. JK Rowling, author of hugely popular Harry Potter, was teased in school as a glasses-wearing child who lived mostly in books and daydreams.
Robbins encourages students to participate in out-of-class activities. “They will automatically meet people with similar tastes,” she told Daily Mail.
28．According to Robbins, what can make a student a target in high school?
A．Difference to others B．Pressure to fit in
C．Unwillingness to obey D．Behavior of high school students
29．Why do popular kids tend to be not as successful as outsiders?
A．They may have goals of forming actual true friendships
B．They may hide aspects of their identity to fit in
C．They may force others into doing things
D．They may stick to being themselves in the society
30．Which of the following statements is true?
A．Young people who are outside are successful as adults
B．JK Rowling is one of celebrities of unpopularity
C．Unpopular students develop skills while the popular don’t
D．Robbins encourages young people to be themselves
31. If this passage comes from a paper, on which page would it be?
A．Literature B．Food C. People D. Finance

Stories like Amie's really 48 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 49 and it doesn't cost a thing except for a little extra thought. Maybe it means offering a friend a hug, prais
