Honeybees are disappearing for unknown reasons around the United States．Last winter, bees disappeared from 23 percent of American beekeeping businesses．Causes of the phenomenon, however, have remained a mystery．

       Now, scientists from several universities and the United States Department of Agriculture say they have a possible explanation for the bee decline（數(shù)量下降）．It is a little known virus called Israeli acute--paralysis virus （IAPV） ．The virus kills bees．Researchers in Israel first described it in 2004 , but until now, bee experts hadn’t paid much attention to it．

       When trying to find out why the bees were disappearing, a research team at Columbia University studied bee colonies （ 群體）, some with and the others without decline．The research turned up large numbers of two types of fungi （真菌） once suspected of causing the bee decline．The research results, however, showed that the fungi were almost as common in colonies without a decline as they were in colonies with a decline．The researchers concluded that the two fungi probably weren’t the cause．

       Studies of the presence of IAPV, however, showed more interesting information．In those studies, done by a team at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, the virus showed up in 83 percent of samples from colonies with symptoms （癥狀）．Only five percent of samples from symptomless colonies had it．

       Scientists still don’t know whether IAPIV can single--handedly cause the bee decline．They believe that even if the virus is making colonies sick , it could have a partner in crime．It’s possible, for instance, that insects or chemicals in the environment weaken bees, making them more likely to catch IAPV．

       Scientists are still trying to figure out how IAPV came to the United States．The United States currently allows bee products to be imported from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand．If it turns out that this trade is spreading disease, the rules might eventually change．

According to the passage ，IAPV is a virus that ______．

       A．hasn’t attracted much attention

       B．well-known to doctors and scientist

       C．was first found by Austrian researchers

       D．is dangerous to animals and human beings

The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably means______．

       A．the virus could also cause other damages

       B．there must be something that is the real cause

       C．IAPV is not the only cause for the bee decline

       D．the virus may be caused by the polluted environment

From the third and fourth paragraphs, we know researchers draw their conclusions by means of _______．

       A．calculating      B．comparing      C．examining           D．investigating

What still remains unknown to American scientists according to the passage?

       A．How and why to kill IAPV．

       B．How IAPV came to America．

       C．Whether bee products should be imported．

       D．How to change the rules of the bee products trade．

The best title for this passage would be _____．

       A．Bee Disease         B．How to Kill IAPV

       C．A Virus—IAPV     D．Two Types of Fungi

Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.

When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often

gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.

The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.

So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.

Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.

The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear _______.

   A. by raising his own examples       

B. based on his own experience

   C. by mentioning some studies                                                                             D. by mentioning some typical patients

The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to_______.

   A. support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health.

   B. introduce a famous expert.

   C. let the reader know the different colours of cartoon faces.

   D. show how to control one’s temper.

The underlined phrase “holding on to” in this passage possibly means“_______”.

   A. removing      B. keeping up      C. getting rid of    D. learning about

The best title for this passage is probably _______.

   A. Forgiveness                      B. Forgiveness Is Good for Health

C. A Secret to Keeping Health          D. Anger Is Bad for Health

Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of discomfort. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(著裝)—and the people with whom he or she works.

Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very strict standards for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company’s attitude is, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary. Like it or not, you will be judged by your appearance.

This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional ” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your choices, recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等級(jí)) down from what you would normally wear on business-professional attire days.

Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man—and the woman. When you’re in doubt, it’s safe to be on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A．How to dress properly in a business setting.

B．How to choose appropriate attire.

C．Appropriate attire will make a big difference

D．Improper dress will make a person uncomfortable.

2.Which statement best describes “dress-down days”?

A．You can wear whatever you like.

B．People are usually more careful about dressing.

C．We can’t judge a person’s taste by his clothes.

D．People’s clothes don’t receive much attention.

3.Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage about business dress?

A．Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for an occasion.

B．Think about how others will dress if invited to a dinner.

C．For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.

D．Ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.

MY Chinese friend is going to the US and he is nervous about what to talk about. “Talk about the weather,” is my advice.

“How are you?” is often followed by comments about the weather. “Nice day today.” “Cold/hot enough for you?” “Will it ever stop raining?” “Some winter we’re having.” “Can’t remember a winter/summer so cold/hot.” “Whew, it’s hot out there.”

These introductory statements are often followed by a long conversation entirely about weather conditions. Past, present and – with global warming – speculation (推測(cè)) about the future.

Our fascination with weather might seem silly, but the real purpose behind those endless discussions is small talk. Weather’s a safe topic of conversation. As a group, we Americans seem to enjoy chatting with those around us. Whenever we stand in line at the grocery store, we tend to engage in this sort of conversation with other people standing in line with us. If I were seated next to another American on any form of public transport, I’d expect both of us to make some harmless comment about the weather as a way of acknowledging (承認(rèn)) each other’s presence (存在). At parties, the weather is a common topic, especially with those you are meeting for the first time.

In contrast we are taught to avoid certain topics like religion and politics. Weather is neutral (中性的); you don’t have to have an opinion about it, just make a statement of a fact. What is truly interesting is the fact that we can go on and on about it.

My Chinese friend has a hard time understanding why we put so much effort into this topic – and why I warn him about bringing up much more “interesting” subjects like salaries or how much something costs.

Sometimes it is tricky (復(fù)雜的) to wend (行走) one’s way through winding cultural roads, especially those that are never taught in books.

1.What does the writer suggest her Chinese friend should talk about with people in the US? (No more than two words)

2.Why do Americans enjoy talking to people around them about the weather, in writer’s opinion? (No more than ten words)

3.List four topics that people should avoid talking about in the US. ( No more than 5 words)

I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high way at 85 mph   42   we realized we were   43   . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $ 20 bill. I was so   44   because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on   45   seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.

For the next two years, whenever I was  55   of the “pizza incident,” I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”

I have learned two things from this   56   . Maybe I was a fool for   57    in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a   58   pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will   59   up with you.

This reflects the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand times, a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that accident at least a thousand times.
