I was able to buy it a little earlier a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldnt fit. I let a salesman fool me into buying one. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the TV set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The TV set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until TV stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didnt get any channels (频道) showing all-night movies, or I would never have gone to bed.来源:学_科_网Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into an advertisement, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the TV set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) by shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the TV set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldnt return it when it was broken.来源:学科网C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.2. Which of the following a best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1?A.ended all their programs B.provided fewer channelsC.changed to advertisements D.showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting it B.By turning it on and offC.By switching channels D.By having it repaired4. How does the author sound when telling the story? A. Curious B. Excited C. Cautious D. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure(身材). Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you put on weight or keep it off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage over-eating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when theyre in poorly lighted places, and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors increase our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room ate 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more delicious, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when you want to eat less, go to a blue room.Downsize the dishes. Big bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon instead of a smaller one, total intake(摄入) increases by 14 percent. 5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about _.A.their home comforts B. their body shapeC.house buying D.healthy diets6. A home environment in blue can help people _.A.digest food better B.reduce food intakeC.burn more calories D.regain their appetites7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Is Your House Making You Fat? B.Ways of Serving DinnerC.Effects of Self-Consciousness D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to the applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next school year.This year, 25,310 students have accepted places in higher education institutions, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record of 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and get ready for their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students now realize that they are likely to leave university up to15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure(数字) increases to 90% during vacations,” he said.8. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A.It is a waste of time. B.It is a time for relaxationC.It is increasingly popular D.It is required by universities9. According to Tony Higgins. Students taking a gap year _.A.are better prepared for college studiesB.know a lot more about their future jobC.are more likely to leave university in debtD.have a better chance to enter top universities10. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A.Hes puzzled B.Hes worried C.Hes surprised D.Hes annoyed11. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A.Attend additional courses. B.Make plans for the new termC.Earn money for their education D.Prepare for their graduate studiesDTwo traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things arent always what they seem.”The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable (好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good nights rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field. 来源:学&科&网Z&X&X&KThe younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen? Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”“Things arent always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(密封) the wall so he couldnt find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I ask God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things arent always what they seem.”12.
