Before midnight on Thursday, in malls across the US, people start queuing up outside the locked entrances of stores, making longer and longer lines, holding coupons (优惠券), sipping coffee and hot chocolate, rubbing their hands and stamping (跺脚) their feet for warmth, excitedly chatting, and waiting for the clerks to open the door when the time arrives.Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which fell on Nov 28，2014, “has become in recent decades a special American holiday”, said the International Business Times. Indeed, up to 147 million Black Friday shoppers were expected to put up with the dark of night and the elbows(手肘)of other shoppers so that they could bring home some bargains, according to the US National Retail Federation.But why does the shopping festival have such a name?The name was first used in Philadelphia in the 1970s. The streets and sidewalks of the city became so packed with traffic and crowds on the day after Thanksgiving Day that the local police did not look forward to it. Because of this, they called the day “Black Friday”, said The Huffington Post. However, others believe that Black Friday takes its name from the fact that because of the increase in sales on the day, shops are able for the first time in the year to move out of the “red” that is, debt and into the “black”, or profit. Businesses, of course, try to take advantage of this day. A decade ago, retailers (零售商) opened at 5 or 6 am. Now, many of the big stores open at midnight.People really seem to like the whole experience of queuing up before midnight, “for it isnt just about the bargains”, noted CNN. “For many shoppers, its just fun to be part of a large crowd. Those who go to the malls at midnight are driven by the same thing that makes a million people get together in Times Square each New Years Eve.”56. Which of the following statements about Black Friday is TRUE?A. It is a special day in the US on which government hands out coupons to customers.B. It is a shopping festival in the US that falls on the second Friday after Thanksgiving.C. It has been a traditional American holiday since the founding of the nation.D. It is an opportunity for Americans to get things they want at a much lower price.57. According to The Huffington Post, the name of “Black Friday” may be first used _. A. at the beginning of the 20th century in the US B. by American people who expected to bring home bargains after Thanksgiving Day C. by the police to show their displeasure toward heavy traffic caused by shopping crowds D. to describe the bad weather on the day58. According to the article, people who queue up for Black Friday _. A. usually help each other to find good bargains B. have great fun as part of the waiting crowd C. have a lot of complaints about the service of the retail clerks D. have to wait until 5 to 6 am to start shopping59. What is the article mainly about? A. The shopping habits of Americans. B. An introduction to the origin and influences of Black Friday. C. Tips on how to get good bargains on Black Friday. D. Peoples mixed feelings toward Black Friday.BYou may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But thats not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldnt know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff (悬崖).In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities. Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride (过山车).Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemicals, especially endorphins and dopamine, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr. In addition, when youre scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.“Watch people walking out of a haunted house (鬼屋), and youll see lots of smiles and high fives (击掌),” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, dont worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident.“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so youre better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.60. Whats the best title for the passage?A. Ways to build up team spirit.B. Fear, a sign of weakness.C. Love your fearD. Different ways to deal with fear.61. Which of the following is True according to the passage?A. Fear is harmful to our health. B. Fear is something to be avoided. C. Experiencing fear helps us to build a sort of endurance to fear.D. People who get scared easily have no chances to get changed.62. The underlined phrase “bond with” is closest in meaning to _.A. get closer to B. fight against C. look down upon D. be more careful with63. Which of the following is Not mentioned to experience fear?A. Read scary books or see scary movies.B. Take a scary roller coaster ride.C. Attend challenging trips or physical activities.D. Take some medicine containing endorphins and dopamine. CThe Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England, is the best place in Europe for discovering dinosaur bones.
