9、m. He suddenly appeared in class one day, 16 (wear) sun glasses. He walked in as if he 17 (buy) the school. And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City. For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt 18 (please), because there were many empty seats in the room. But she quickly real

10、ized that it wasnt her, it was probably the fact that she sat in 19 last row. 20 he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong.

13、my friend Maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing

14、me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business. The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along wi

15、th each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say. “oh, you just had a tooth out? Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger

16、 says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming became someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The sale

17、girl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be s

18、incere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.26. How does the author understand Maxies words? A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author. B.

As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the babys point of

22、 view.Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a babys blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by cry

23、ing and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr. Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. Ive never heard

24、 anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldnt follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weakness

25、es of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes fro

26、m Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s,taking account of parental education, family income, a childs sex and age, the mothers health and feeling style. These results dont surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapid

27、ly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.31.

29、e baby will sleep well. B. The baby will have its brain harmed.C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level. D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35. The author supports feeding the baby_.A. in the night B. every four hoursC. whenever it wants food D. according to its blood sugar level

30、CI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldnt bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through

31、 the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “Im awfully

32、 sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn

33、t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as i

34、t drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because

35、I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.36. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought . A. she might be recognized B. asking for

36、 help looked silly C. she was normal and independent D. being found blind was embarrassing37. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she . A. began to run B. hit a person as usual C. hit a lamppost D. was caught by something38. At the request stop that evening, the girl . A. stopped a big lorr

37、y B. stopped the wrong bus C. made no attempt to stop the bus D. was not noticed by other people39. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus? A. Other vehicles also stopped there B. It was unreliable for making judgments. C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl. D. It t

39、s of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sports programs for the major U.S. media company is that events are often held

40、 on Saturday and Sunday afternoons the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to s

41、ell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the adverti

42、sing departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These s

43、ports attract few viewers, and the ratings(收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting

44、of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those manag

45、ers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.41.
