She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about ones fellow man?Not so, say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to seek the reasons why people didnt act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency.Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma from diabetes(糖尿病)? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it steam pipes? Or is it really smoke from a fire? Its not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person wont get the help he needs.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be tested. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the tests. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the testing room and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, neednt. They do not feel any direct responsibility.Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other persons trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.25. The purpose of this passage is _. A. to explain why people fail to act in emergencies B. to explain when people will act in emergencies C. to explain what people will do in emergencies D. to explain how people feel in emergencies26. The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies when _.A. they are in pairs B. they are in groups C. they are alone D. they are with their friends27. The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that _.A. they are afraid of emergenciesB. they are unwilling to get themselves involvedC. others will act if they themselves hesitateD. they do not have anydirect responsibility for those who need help28. The author suggests that _.A. we shouldnt blame a person if he fails to act in emergenciesB. a person must feel guilty if he fails to helpC. people should be responsible for themselves in emergenciesD. when you are in trouble, people will help you anywayC来源:学。科。网Z。X。X。K Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson had to pay $1,500 to have “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie shes making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.“I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”Nelsons movie is a documentary a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters song.A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.Nelsons lawyers say this piece of musics history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.Experts estimate that Warner/ Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.”Nelsons lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.29. Jennifer Nelson had to pay Warner Music Group to _.A. own the copyright on a songB. have a song sung in her movieC. have it play a song in her movieD. have it write a song for her movie30. The history experts statement can prove that the “Happy Birthday” song _.A. has always been very popularB. has more than 200 years historyC. does not belong to Warner Music GroupD. was initially owned by another company31. According to Nelsons lawyers, to sing the “Happy Birthday” song, people _.A. should pay the Hill sistersB. need not pay for any purposeC. should pay Warner Music GroupD. need not pay except for commercial use32. If the court supports Nelsons lawyers claim, _.A. Warner will return about $8 millionB. she can obtain the copyright on the songC. Warner will have to pay her for her damagesD. she only needs to pay a little money to use the songDWe can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? And Paul - why didnt pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car? When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends - or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog.” Thats being friendly. But lucky dog? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the dog bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck.Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.33. This passage is mainly about _.A. how to interpret what people sayB. what to do when you listen to others talkingC. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with peopleD. why we go wrong with people sometimes34. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that _.A. we fail to listen carefully when they talkB. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they sayC. people usually state one thing but mean anotherD. we tend to doubt what our friends say35. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to _.A. being friendlyB. a bit of envy C. a lucky dogD. your luck第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Today our life and work rarely feel light or pleasant. Instead, the whole experience of being alive begins to melt into one enormous obligation(责任). 36 We say this to one another with great pride. 37 We are unavailable to our friends and family, unable to find time for the sunset, to finish off our obligations without time for a single mindful breath. This seems to have become the model of a successful life.Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We lose the relaxation that gives us help. 38 Poisoned by the
