Phil, our youngest is about three years old. We have known one thing over these years. Whenever _16_ approach long before we are aware of them, my dogs begin to _17_ them. They began to hide and shake. I am _18_ sure that they wont eat, either. Since this has become part of our lives, whenever we know _19_, we will make every _20_ to take them into the yard a number of times. Because once the storm is here, fear steps in where natures calling（想上厕所的感觉）ends. Anyway, it was my recent _21_ with Ricky that made me realize that dogs arent the only ones who have _22_ fears. I talked; he listened. I was not sure if he could pay attention to me. Experience has proved that he didnt _23_. He just tried to survive the talk.“Ricky, youve _24_ these storms so many times before and nothing _25_ has happened to you” I said. “Its just sound” I reasoned. “Sound has never _26_ you.” Regardless of my comforting words, he _27_ to shake a bit. _28_, this talk brought to light a new inspiration: we people do _29_ things. We fear things that we have no real _30_ of or no past experience with and build upon that fear without logic. People say “Its how I feel.” Actually, thats the exact _31_ for many limitations people have come to call failures in lives. Theres no real evidence indicating that we should _32_ going to school, starting a new job, asking for a raise and so on.Dogs just dont have the _33_ to find reasonable alternative choices. We do.

NOK 2,260BAn average 30-year-old person who has eaten three meals a day since birth has eaten more than 30,000 meals to date. Even if youve only eaten half that much, you have to admit this: youve let some of that breakfast, lunch or dinner go to waste. And it turns out that were all to blame for this shaming fact: 30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost. That's about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.That's the weight of more than 8.6 million full-grown blue whales, the largest creatures on earth. That's the weight of more than 2.3 million Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence. Thats as if each person in China, the world's most populous country with more than 1.3 billion people, had one ton mass of food they could just throw into the dustbin. It's almost unfathomable, isn't it?Setting aside that big number, we find the people with the most money are the ones who waste the most. Per capita( 人均 ), European and North American countries waste between 95 and 115 kilograms of food. Sub-Saharan African, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries waste much less between 6 and 11 kilograms per person.Here's another statistic: all the food that the world's richest countries waste is about equal to all the food that sub-Saharan Africa produces. The numbers: 222 million tons and 230 million tons, respectively( 分别地). Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent. And these numbers come as we've just been reporting about rising food prices around the world in the past week.And my own personal tip: if I eat at a restaurant and can't finish it all, I ask for a doggie bag. I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid. There's no reason to waste food. It's up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely. 41. According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, how much food do people produce each year in the world?A. About 3.3 billion tons. B. About 3.9 billion tons.C. About 4.3 billion tons. D. About 5.6 billion tons.42. What does the underlined word "unfathomable" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Unreasonable. B. Unimaginable.C. Impossible.D. Understandable. 43. It can be learned that the food the rich waste can support_.A. half the people in Europe B. most people of AmericaC. most people of Asia D. most people of Africa44. The author gave his personal tip based on the fact that _.A. he was once very poor B. he was once a farmerC. he once worked in a restaurant D. the price of food is very high 45. What is the purpose of this article?A. To show the author's opinion of food. B. To let us live more wisely and not waste food.C. To show the amount of wasted food a year.D. To ask the richest countries to help African people.CAll of us have taken an instant dislike to someone, and then felt guilty about being too judgmental. But now it seems we should place more trust in our first impressions. Most people can accurately judge a total stranger following a short meeting, according to scientists.And in general, the more confident the people are, the more likely they are to be correct in their assumptions. Jeremy Biesanz, who led a team of researchers from the University of British Columbia, said: “Many important decisions are made after very brief encounters which employee to hire, which person to date, which student to accept”. Although our first impressions are generally accurate, it is necessary for us to recognize where they may be not good enough.The researchers arranged for two groups of more than 100 people to meet in a meeting. Much like speed-dating, the volunteers spoke to everyone in their group for three minutes each. At the end of each three-minute chat, they were asked to rate each other's personalities, and how well they thought their impressions “would coincide with someone who knows this person very well”.To find out what the person was “really” like, the scientists had his friends and family fill out his personality reports. Generally speaking, the more confident the volunteers felt in accurately rating another's personality, the closer their ratings were to those of the other person's friends and family, the researchers said.However, the participants with the highest accuracy were those who rated themselves moderately（适度）accurate those highly confident of their judgment were less successful. The scientists concluded that, although we know people are different from each other, a good judge of character knows that in many ways people are mostly alike. For example, almost everyone would prefer being kind to being unfriendly.Therefore, while first impressions can be generally accurate, they are not conclusive in working out whether somebody really is “better” than someone else.46. The volunteers joined a meeting which was _.A. interestingB. complexC. seriousD. brief47. The underlined phrase “coincide with” in Para. 3 can be replaced by _.A. agree withB. appeal toC. get along withD. set an example to 48. What are the conditions for being a good judge?Being talkativeGood social relationshipsA proper degree of confidenceKnowing that people are mostly alikeA.B. C. D. 49. In the authors opinion, _.A. many important decisions are made with the help of strangersB. people tend to have better impressions on friends than on strangersC. we shouldnt depend on first impressions completely to judge othersD. accurate judgments on others can help us make as many friends as possible50. What topic is the passage mainly concerned with?A. We should not doubt our ability to judge others.B. Our first impressions on a stranger are usually accurate.C. Confidence determines whether people can succeed or not.D. Its an important task to make a good judgment about strangers. DOn Friday, Japanese researchers announced a population clock that showed a dangerous situation that the Japanese nation would disappear in 1,000 years if the falling birth rate kept the present level. Researchers in the northern city of Sendai said that Japans population of children aged up to 14, which now stands at 16.6 million, was falling at the rate of one child per 100 seconds. It would lead to a terrible result that there would be no children left in Japan in 1,000 years.“If the rate keeps falling at that rate in our country, there will only be one child who is able to enjoy the following Childrens Day left on May 5th, 3011,” said Hiroshi Yoshida, a professor at Toholu University. “But 100 seconds later, a national disaster that there are no children left in Japan will happen,” he added, “The nations people will disappear for the birth rate has fallen t
