19、rect habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?Finding：A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.Step：Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes,

20、at least twice a day.2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30%wash their hands only 4 times a day-half of the number doctors recommend.Step：We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs（

21、病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.Step：Be aw

22、are of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海綿）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.36. What is found out about American seniors?A. Most of them have good habits.B. Nearly 30%of them bathe thre

23、e days a week.C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day37. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands .A. twice a day B. three times a day C. four times a day D. eight times a day 38. Which of the following is true ac

24、cording to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.CA kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.39. The text probably comes from _.A. a guide book B. a popular magaz

25、ine C. a book review D .an official documentB Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” t

26、o all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may well be successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because things dont turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example，you ma

27、y fail to obtain a new job，another chance will come around soon), Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams in your face. Thats bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists (悲觀者) have suspected all along. Its called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. I

28、ts author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to

29、handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “Whats interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situations outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themsel

30、ves to perform better. ”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Do

31、nt put all your eggs in one basket,” and “ Dont count your chickens until they hatch. “ To have a confident and optimistic approach to lifes problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien，the American comedian says, ”Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”There are pros and

32、 cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Dont feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.40. What is the passage mainly about?A. A book that has recently been published.B. The dangers of being too optimist

33、ic.C. How to become successful in life. D. The benefits of defensive pessimism.41. The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” in paragraph 4 means _.A. it is quite simple to understandB. there is no real proofC. its not a dangerous thing to doD. the cost is not so high42. The writer would

34、probably describe himself as _.A. an optimistB. a defeatist C. a realist D. a scientist43. Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe? A. “Every cloud has a silver lining.”B. “Dont put all your eggs in one basket.” C. “Whatever will be, will be.” D. “The glass is

35、half full not half empty.”CAccording to sociologists（社會學家）, every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification（階層）. Class, power and status are important in deciding peoples rank in society.Class means a persons economic position in society. A commonly used classification is lowe

36、r class, middle class and upper class. While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well. One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class. Interestingly,

37、 a surgeon earning 500,000 a year and a bus driver earning 50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. Obviously, people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise（行使）big power, but people who take order

38、s from others have less power. Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however. For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding （相應(yīng)的）economic class. Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class. To our knowledge, the

39、re arent too many people who arent millionaires in the U.S. Senate!Status is the honor or respect attached to a persons position in society. It can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social

40、class or have a lot of power over others.44. What can we learn about “the middle class” from Paragraph 2? A. People earning 50,000 a year belong to the middle class. B. Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class. C. People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class. D. Sociologists hav

41、e a clear definition of the middle class.45. According to the text, we know that _. A. power and class do not always correspond with each other B. status refers to a persons economic position in society C. people with high status have a lot of control over othersD. class is less important in decidin

47、” the boy asked me.I moved my hand to let him know that I did not understand his question.“When I was a kid, my parents used to buy me a new pair of shoes every year.That was such a wonderful feeling.Something I have never forgotten.The smell of the leather and the pride I felt when I walked around

48、the store showing off my new shoes.”The salesman came walking down the aisle with a large box.He sat it down on the floor, took out one boot and handed it to the young man.The boy closed his eyes.He placed the boot against his nose, and drew in a large breath.I did not know what to say as tears bega

49、n to fall on the young mans cheeks.“What type of accident did you have?” I asked him.“Farm accident,” he said, as he tried to clear his voice.“Do you want the cowboy boots?” the salesman asked him. “Oh, yes!” he answered. “I see buying a new pair of shoes still gives you that good feeling you talked
