25、讀理解AThis is a story that happened in Europe in the 17th century. Tulips (郁金香) were introduced into Holland before the 17th century but it did not take long for the flowers to gain popularity among the upper classes. Flowers of such beauty soon became symbols of power and the rich tried their best to

26、 lay their hands on some to display them in their gardens. When more people learned of the prices that the rich were willing to pay for tulips, they knew they just found a “get-rich-quick” gold mine. By 1634, the whole country was so attracted by tulips that all other activities almost came to a sto

27、p. People were trading in tulips and even buying and selling bulbs (球莖). At that time, one rare bulb cost as much as ten tons of cheese. Many made a fortune in the beginning. As the prices moved in one direction, they only needed to buy low and sell high, buy high and sell higher. After the gains, c

28、onfidence rose and many sold away all their property in order to invest more money in tulips, hoping to make more money. The desire was so strong that those who were watching also rushed to the tulip market. Everyone thought that the high demand for tulips would continue forever and prices could onl

29、y go up because more and more people from all over the world would start to like tulips. When the prices of tulips was much higher than it should be, few people bought them for planting in their gardens. The real demand for the flowers seemed greater than it really was. Many people were buying them

30、for speculation (投機(jī)), not appreciation. In 1637, for some unknown reasons, a group of people suddenly realized the danger. The prices of tulips began to fall and the market crashed. When confidence was destroyed, it could not be recovered and prices kept falling. Soon the nobles and the rich became

31、poor. Cries of suffering were heard everywhere in Holland. 56. Why did the upper classes buy tulips in the beginning? A. Because the prices of tulips were low.B. Because they wanted to make a fortune.C. Because tulips were introduced from abroad.D. Because tulips were beautiful and represented power

32、.57. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. greed(貪婪) was the reason why so many people were mad about tulips B. tulips became popular among the upper classes very slowly C. people who were mad about tulips bought them for appreciation D. when the prices were extremely high, most people plan

33、ted tulips in their gardens58. The passage is mainly about _. A. Europe in the 17th centuryB. buying and selling tulipsC. being mad about tulipsD. the life of the nobles and the rich BThere are numerous similarities between Muhammad Ali and his 23-year-old daughter Laila. She is the only one of his

34、nine sons and daughters to have those genes that led to the ring(拳擊場). Her fathers great status had nothing to do with Lailas decision to pursue a boxing career. She has always been proud of his achievements, but he was never a great man to herjust dad. What attracted her to take up boxing was the u

35、nusual sight of two women in the ring on the television screen when she was about to watch a Mike Tyson fight five years ago. She was very excited and said to herself, “I can do that. ”Lailas father would prefer her not to take up the dangerous sport. Johnny McClain, her husband and manager (former

36、boxer himself) feels the same way. Even though both the men in her life worry about her, theyre 100 percent supportive. “They dont want me to get hurt, ” she says. Long before entering the ring, Laila was a fighter. Being the daughter of an outstanding boxer made her an easy target for high school k

37、ids to see how tough she was. They, not she, failed in the test. For the public, her biggest test took place last summer in the New York State when she took on Jacqui Frazier Lyde, the daughter of Joe Frazier, her fathers most famous opponent (對手) during the 1970s. That fight provided the biggest sh

38、ot in the arm that womens boxing has received. News reporters poured in. Some called it “Ali/FrazierGeneration”. No match involving women had ever attracted so much attention. Laila had a narrow victory in the fight. Like it or not, she accepts the fact that she is the face of female boxing. And she

39、 hopes that her name and fame will help get the public to take it more seriously. The name Ali has and always will bring her attention. But she is determined to make her own mark on opponents faces as well as in boxing history books. She says, “I want womens boxing to get its due respect. ”59. Laila

They were joined by Sam Gosling of the University of

53、Texas at Austin and Peter J. Rentfrow of Britain's Cambridge University. The results of their study were published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin in December, 2009. The subjects（接受實(shí)驗(yàn)者）were asked to judge the personality of people they had never met. The judges examined picture

54、s of one hundred twenty-three people. The people in the photographs had been told how to stand. They looked into the cameras without showing their feelings. The same people also were photographed the way they themselves wanted to stand. Those who wanted to smile could smile. Then the judges attempted to decide what the people were like. The researchers compared the judges opinions with the way the people who were photographed thought of themselves. Three people who knew those in the photographs well also provided information
