15.A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.
According to the results of an international passenger survey,Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch,compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.
The Airline Passenger Experience Association(APEX) spoke to around 1,500 people,aged 18 and older,who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States,United Kingdom,Germany,Japan,China,Singapore,Australia and Brazil.
The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off.They are also the first to take out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming.Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively-when not drinking-choosing to work while flying at 35,000 feet.
Meanwhile,Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers-spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality.Comparatively,Brazilians conduct their conversations online via email,messaging apps or social media.
Despite plane food having a bad reputation,seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacks and meals.In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers.
The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flight entertainment."The industry has greatly improved the comfort,entertainment and on board service,and passengers are accepting those improvements"said Russell Lemieux,APEX executive director."At the same time,passengers are demanding more from their air travel experiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey."he added.

32.What can you probably see in the flight according to the passage?C
A.Brazilians choose to drink.
B.Americans do in-flight shopping.
C.Germans chat to kill the time.
D.The Chinese switch off the seat-belt sign.
33.When on board the plane,B.
A.passengers from one nation have little in common
B.most passengers like to read in-flight magazines
C.more than half of the passengers don't enjoy plane food
D.most people tend to use in-flight time to have a good sleep.
34.What can we learn from the last paragraph?C
A.Flyers care little about entertainment.
B.Flyers are not satisfied with the improvements.
C.Flyers are expecting better flight experiences.
D.Flyers have more and more demands from airlines.
35.What's the purpose of the passage?D
A.To entertain readers with interesting stories.
B.To encourage people to behave well in public.
C.To criticize impolite behaviors on the plane.
D.To inform readers of the results of a survey.

3.My daughter Kelly is a cautious person.She needs to warm up to situations,is hesitant to try new things.When with close friends,she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants,"Girls rule,boys drool."But when that comfort zone is not around her,she is shy and nervous.
This has been challenging for me at times."Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me.But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence.This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team.This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels.And this year she completed her first kids'triathlon (三項全能).
On Saturday,with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day,we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon.We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her,we got all the equipment she'd need,and we kept talking about the race.But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn,she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times.She was nervous but trying to keep it together.
And then it was her turn.From the second she jumped into the water,my heart soared(快速上升).My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen.She dominated that swim,crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life.It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that.It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before.
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling.She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day.I won the chance to see my girl shine.
Shine on,sweet baby.

10.Meet Ben Saunders:adventurer,athlete,motivational speaker.Ben,at the age of 23,was the youngest man to ski solo (單人滑雪) to the North Pole.He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge (雪橇) over 1,420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions.This year,as well as planning a return to the Arctic,Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn,carrying all his supplies on his sledge.
Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure."Everything that could go wrong did go wrong.We were attacked by a bear.We started running out of food.It was just desperate.And we didn't get to the Pole; we didn't get there,so we had no media interest.No one heard about it:no book deal,and no speaking.I was so unhappy."
People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole.I said,"No,I can get there,"and I did.Self-belief,I see it as being a bit like a muscle-it's my belief that the more you stretch (伸展) yourself,the stronger it gets.If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker.So that's one of the lessons I've figured out along the way.The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self-belief.
"My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me.If I kne w it was possible,if I knew I could do it without too much bother,I wouldn't be interested."Why?"Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it.Not that long ago,running a marathon was seen as the top point of human attempt,and now I wouldn't be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year."
People's horizons (見識) are changing."I'm not particularly gifted,and I'm absolutely average.I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it.That's it.And that's the thing that attracts me:with enough training and enough determination,enough focus and preparation,how far can we go?And I don't think I've found out yet."

24.What do we know about Ben Saunders'first adventure?B
A.It was supported by his company.
B.There was no press coverage.
C.It was well planned and organized.
D.He actually reached the North Pole.
25.According to Ben Saunders,if you want to stretch your self-belief,you shouldA.
A.try something adventurous     B.often test your confidence   
C.aim to reach the North Pole    D.always stretch your muscles
26.Ben Saunders was excited about his Antarctic adventure becauseC.
A.he wanted to exercise his body
B.he liked running a marathon
C.he knew it might be achievable
D.he was sure he could do it easily
27.What can we learn from the last paragraph?C
A.We may never know our possibilities and energies.
B.We have to change our views about adventure.
C.We should have a reason for going on an adventure.
D.We have to be especially talented to have an adventure.

6.For many parents,raising a teenager is like fighting a long war,but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries,the parent-teen war is about boundaries:Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part,this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents'point of view,the only cause of their fight is their adolescents'complete unreasonableness.And of course,the teens see it in exactly the same way,except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article,I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no-win situation is quarrel on unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teen's hair,the cleanness of the bedroom,the preferred style of clothing,the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.Second,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third,needing to be right.It doesn't matter what the topic is-politics,the laws of physics,or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong,for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately,as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other,they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

24.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?D
A.Both can continue for generations.
B.Neither can be put to an end.
C.Neither has any clear winner.
D.Both are about where to draw the line.
25.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?B
A.The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
B.The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
C.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
26.Parents and teens want to be right because they want toB.
A.give orders to the other          B.gain respect from the other
C.know more than the other        D.get the other to behave properly
27.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?D
A.Causes for the parent-teen conflicts
B.Examples of the parent-teen war
C.Future of the parent-teen relationship
D.Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
