As an airport baggage handler checked through a customer at the roadside, he accidentally knocked over the man’s luggage. He quickly collected the fallen bags and apologized for his mistake. However, the traveler burst into anger, shouting at the baggage handler for his
carelessness.
The baggage handler calmly apologized and smiled all the time. The customer continued to scold the man, even as he turned away and headed for his gate. Through it all the
baggage handler smiled and remained calm.
The next customer in line witnessed the incident and admired the baggage handler’s
professionalism and self-control. “I have never seen such restrain and humility, “he said. “How do you keep your cool when somebody is attacking you so viciously?” “It is easy,” the baggage handler answered. “He is going to London, but his bags are going to Tokyo.”
I won’t recommend that we use revenge to relieve stress. But let me tell you about one of my friends who has found a way to go through most of his life unaffected by the turbulence (动荡)that disturbs most people.
He is one of the calmest people I have ever known and he describes how he keeps cool no matter how turbulent a situation becomes. He says, look at it this way. A traffic jam has no power to make me angry. It just stops my car. And that is the way I try to look at most of what happens to me.” With that philosophy, this guy goes through life with the calmness I can only envy.
My friend likes to say things like, A rude customer has no power to make me angry; he just fusses.” And, “A mistake I made has no power to make me upset; it is just a chance to do better.” He shows how we can truly find calmness in the midst of chaos（混乱)..
21. The airport baggage handler remained calm when the customer kept scolding him because ____
A. he was good at self-control B. he wanted to show his professionalism
C. he had decided to revenge the customer D. he knew well the airport rules.
22. What is the author’s attitude towards the baggage handler?
A. Appreciative B. Disapproving C. Concerned D. Sympathetic
23. Why does the author tell us about his friends?
A. To tell us what true calmness is B. To explain a special philosophy
C. To show his envy of the friend D. To advise us to have good manners
24. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. A Clever Baggage Handler B. Restraint and Humility in Life
C. A Philosophy for Everyone D. Calmness in Chaos
B
Go on a slow jog for just five minutes a day and you may gain a few extra years of life. This is all according to an American study, which focuses on the impact of jogging on life span. According to the research, even a short period of time may improve your chances of avoiding cardio ( 心的) and vascular (血管) diseases, which may lead to premature death.
“From a more traditional health perspective, five minutes sounds brave. But if it is energetic, intensive and the running steps are swift, why ever not?” said a medical doctor Tommi Vasankari from the UKK institute , as he considers the health benefits of quick spurts (冲刺) of exercise.
The researchers selected 55,000 clients from health centers and got through information collected over a period of 15 years. Of the sample , approximately one fourth of individuals claimed to have running as a hobby. From studying the information of those who passed away during the time period, it was evident that runners had a 45 percent lesser risk of dying from heart disease. Running increased the average life span by three years.
Then, the researchers faced a surprise: the amount run by the individuals had no impact on life span. The findings were then published in the New York Times newspaper. According to Vasankari, the findings should be treated with care, because the individuals themselves were the sources of the information used in the study. “ It is not objectively measured data. It makes it difficult to know whether an individual has run on average five or seven minutes.”
Quick jog, however, has reached the standard of health recommendations, Vasankari continues. According to American recommendations, heavy exercise should be practiced for an hour and fifteen minutes each week.
25. Among 55,000 clients, about ____ people take running as a hobby.
A. 2200 B. 14,000 C. 28,000 D. 42,000
26. In the opinion of Vasankari, __________.
A. he ignored the benefits of jogging B. jogging actually does him good
C. quick jogs are worth considering D. people should start heavy exercise
27. What’s the purpose of the author writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to take up jog every day
B. To show jogging plays a key role in our daily life
C. To tell us five-minute jogging a day can increase life
D. To analyse why scientists focus on the study of jogging.

C
Anyone who is afraid of failure and afraid to face challenges will never taste success, so said our professor in marketing. I laughed it off at that time, but got frightened when it actually happened in my life.
I landed in a small city in the Middle East to set up a firm, a world-class car rental firm. Having decided on the project, I earnestly settled in preparation. With a positive mind, I told myself nothing should stop me now, and was more than keen to make it a success.
However, the least expected thing happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Tension ran high in the region. Eventually the war broke out, and many people fled the country, leaving my firm in deep trouble.
As usual, “things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions.”I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up.”
I decided to hang on, telling myself, “I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles.” I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even threatened to take all my vehicles. I felt I made a wrong decision to move there. I was now ready to face failure.
I was living against all hopes, believing that something good would happen. After 2 months the war ended. My persistence paid off: people started flooding back and the car bookings picked up, five times over.
Success comes to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.
28. The main method the author uses to support his understanding of his professor’s viewpoint is _______.
A. offering analyses B. providing explanations
C. making comparisons D. giving examples
29. How did the author feel when the war between Iraq and Kuwait broke out?
A. Unconfident B. Indifferent C. Nervous D. Calm
30. What does the underlined phrase “water down” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?
A. get rid of B. smooth away C. make less forceful D. improve on
31. The author’s purpose of writing the passage is most likely to ________.
A. inform B. persuade C. describe D. entertain
D
An elephant is said never to forget. And to our great surprise, it turns out they can also tell the difference between human languages!
Elephants don’t have the best eyesight in the animal kingdom, but they make up for it with their intelligence. Scientists already know they are very smart--- elephants never forget a face and that’s where the saying came from--- but they didn’t know just how smart until this recent study.
Researchers played recordings of human voices for 47 elephant families at Amboseli National park in Kenya over a two-year period. The recordings were from Maasai adults and children, and Kamba men.
The Massai are a race who sometimes come into conflict with elephants over water and land that sometimes lead to the death of elephants or Massai man. They speak Maa, a sing-songy language.
The Kamba people usually work as farmers or employees for the park and rarely cause harm or danger to elephants. They speak Kikamba.
When the elephants heard Maasai men saying “ Look, look over there, a group of elephants is coming,,” they gathered together, started smelling curiously with their trunks, and moved away slowly. They didn’t run away in fear but became more careful and chose to walk away to avoid conflict.
When they heard Maasai women or boys, or adult male Kamba speakers, they didn’t show any concern.
“The ability to distinguish between Maasai and Kamba men delivering the same phrase in their own language suggests that elephants can distinguish different languages,” said Graeem Shannon, a visiting fellow in psychology at the University of Sussex and study’s co-author.
They can’t understand what the words mean, but can learn to connect a certain way of speaking with a possible danger.
“A lot of animals will run away at just the general danger caused by people, but a smart animal doesn’t do that, ” Shannon said.
32. According to the text, we learn elephants ______
A. can memorize well B. are the most intelligent elephantsn
C. can understand human words D. have the worst eyesight in animal world
33. The research was carried out to ____
A. record human voices B. record elephants’ daily life
C. know how smart elephants are D. know if elephants are smart
34. When elephants hear Maasai words, they _____
A. run away in a hurry B. gather around to fight back
C. send a warning with their trunks D. gather together and walk away slowly
35. According to the research, elephants judge danger from_____
A. the looks of the speakers B. the contents of different speakers
C. the meaning of the human’s words D. the way in which speakers talk
