20、hen my turn came to take the 10-pound plastic doll home. The doll really did look like a live baby from a distance. It even had a pleasant baby powder smell. I took the baby home and named him Tyler.My friends and I went out for supper that night. As it was rather cold, I decided to wrap Tyler in a

21、blanket and carry him in that way. When I walked into the restaurant, I noticed some very strange looks and quite a few raised eyebrows. My friends and I decided to make a game out of the whole situation. I stood in the corner pretending to rock Tyler to sleep while my friends kept looking into the

22、blanket and say,“h的ow” I could not help but laugh. And although it was funny to myfriends and me, some of the people did not think it was so funny that I had a baby. I overheard one couple say, “ Whywould she bring a baby here? ”These people were giving me rude looks and forming judgments about me b

23、ecause they thought I was a teenage mom. Others just smiled at me sympathetically（同情地）and felt sorry for me because I was only a child with a child. During our meal, my friends and I received strange looks from the others in the restaurant. I was so glad to finally go home.I learned a lot through my

24、 experience with the “ ThinkIt- Over baby. The doll surely strengthened my thinking that I was not ready to be a parent, but it also made me more aware of the larger picture. It opened my eyes to the judgments people make about others. People do not realize that some things are not the way they seem

25、. I was only carrying it around for a class project. The people in the restaurant were so quick to judge me because they thought I was a teenage mom.

29、d it was only the second thing he had ever won in his life.The first thing was an Afghan blanket at a church raffle（ 抽獎(jiǎng)）when he was 25 years old. But this was much bigger: it was $120,000! He had won the Big Cube （骰子）,a state lottery game. To win, a player must first guess which number a turning cub

30、e will stop on. The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X, 100X, 500X, and 1000X. If he is correct, the player must then guess which of two selected variables is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears on the cube does not ensure that you will win any money.Sam correctly guess

31、ed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two variables. One variable was the number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period. This was a tough de

32、cision.Finally, Sam threw a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the teenager. He picked right. The stop sign was run only 76 times, but the teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had just won 1000 times 120, or $120,000. Sam dreamily left the lottery studio. Talking exci

Where we live a

37、nd how we live after we are born are important too. Our skin color depends to a large extent on how much sunshine we get.During the cold winter months, people keep themselves covered. A group of light-colored people will all seem to be pretty much the same color in these months. But when summer arri

38、ves and they go to the beaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and a few will not tan at all. Each one has inhertedgl|承）a different ability to tan.Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and had to work in the field all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to

39、 work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because the peasant had a tan.During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines, and mills. Working for long hours in dimly-lit factories and mi

40、nes made their skin pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get a tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth.In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves wh

41、ite with lemon juice, many women spend their time under sunlamps. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotions（洗齊U） that darken the skin artificially withoutexposure to sunlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundre

42、ds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest-paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents.So there are three answers to the question Where does our color come from? ”It comes from the genes we inherit. It comes from

43、 the conditions in which we live. And it can come from a bottle that we buy at the drugstore on the corner.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?Nowadays women do their best to keep their skin as light as possible.Nowadays only rich people can have a tan.Before the Indus

44、trial Revolution most working people had an outdoor job.Everybody will get the same tan if the conditions are right. 50.Usually a rich man gets his suntan.A. by traveling to sunny countriesB. from a bottle of lotionC. by doing outdoor workD. in the fields.According to the author, our color doesn t c

45、ome from.A. the genes we inheritB. the diet we are onC. the condition in which we liveD. the lotions we buy at the drugstore.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word bleaching?A. making whiteB. having a tanC. going to the beachesD. staying indoors all dayDWhich gender is

46、 the most talkative? No matter what you answer, you are partially right.A recent Gallup Poll showed that both men and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of that is challenged in a research published in the

47、 November issue of Personality and Social PsychologyReview.In a recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and wome

48、n regarding talkativeness.They found a small but reliable tendency（ 趨勢）for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.The type of speech was also explo

49、red in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while men s speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was

50、very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.This passage mainly talks about a research conducted by.A. Gallup PollB. Personality and Social Psychology ReviewC. Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres D. the author.Which of the following statements describes the main idea of the passage?

51、Women are born more talkative than men.Men are born more talkative than women.Women and men are talkative in different cases.Women are no more talkative than men.The underlined word gender_means.A. peopleB. nationalityC. cultureD. sex.Talking with strangers,.women are more talkative than with people

52、 they knowmen are more talkative than with their wiveswomen prefer to listen more rather than speak moremen speak a lot to have their opinions acceptedEThe use of the word imitation（ 模仿）reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in

53、 the way of crime or violence. First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous. For example, I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were in the playground and had seen them p

54、utting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree; fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hung. I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通電觸死）his guard, the technique of doin

55、g this being shown in detail. This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen any details of criminal techniques, such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe; if we we

56、re consulted before production, I used to advise that the details should not be shown. When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this, since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.Every time I gave a talk in a prison

57、 someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954. This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed only by natural sound - one of the most brilliant film sequences（ 連續(xù)鏡頭 ）of all time. I remember our dis

58、cussions at the time. We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believed therefore that it was relatively safe. When talking in prisons some years lat

59、er I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied, so perhaps we were wrong.The writer thinks that .the details of the criminal technique should be keptthe details of the crime should not be shown on the screenchildren should not imitate what they saw on the

60、screenit was dangerous to imitate what they had seen on the screen 58.Parents in prison agreed to film checking because .they did not want their children to follow themthe crime on screen could be imitated without difficultythey had given a talk on itthey had made mistakes59.All the following statem
