It was my birthday last Thursday. I decided to celebrate it by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a        part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is        ever crowded, because not many people know about it, so it is not usually      to book a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening      .
When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find it completely    . I looked around but not       table was free. One of the waiters      me. He came across and explained the situation. “A party of tourists came in about half an hour ago.” he said. “It was like an invasion(侵略). Suddenly the place was full! We can hardly      . ”
The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. “The people there are about to      , ” he said, “Just hold on and you’ll      a place there.” He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people       the corner table paid their       , got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.
      our table was almost out of sight. We tried to call the attention of the waiter       sent us there, but he, like all the other waiters,       the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. At last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very      with life. The waiter, now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our      
A few moments later he returned to our table. We could tell from his face that he had     for us.       a little sorry, he told us that there was      left. “All we can offer you” he said, “is an omelet(煎蛋卷) !”

Snapshots, the new fashion for an artistic portrait (肖像) photo: Take it underwater. Zhang Xiaomei, a 20 something Shanghai native who works in the media industry, tried it out twice.
"It was a completely different experience," says Zhang of her first such experience last May. "You get the feeling that you're cut off from the rest of the world. But also it s romantic and like a fairy tale."
She then successfully convinced her husband to be to have their wedding photos taken underwater a couple of months after her first try. "Can you imagine a 1.87-meter-tall man trying out something like a fishtail under the water?" Zhang says, laughing.
A commercial underwater photo portrait is perfect for post 80 and post 90 generations who adore taking snapshots, but are looking for new ways to be artistic, says Ai Cheng, owner and photographer of No.55 Underwater Photography in Shanghai.
Ai opened a studio in Shanghai's suburb of Songjiang two years ago, building a 5-meter- deep, fan-shaped pool equipped with heating facilities to start up the business. A 30-minute training on how to smile under the water so that you won't drink too much water and how to open your eyes underwater is offered in his studio for those who don't know how to swim.
Ai says most of his customers are female—half of them coming for an artistic portrait photo and the rest for wedding pictures. "Some of them drag their boyfriends or husband-to-be, who are unwilling to go down to the water, to shoot as well," he says.

Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology(意識(shí)形態(tài)) that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties. A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents”.
The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, house-hold helpers, clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women’s work” and “men’s work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.
Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearances.
So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned.
But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.
小題1:According to the biology-is-destiny ideology, women_______.
A．cannot compete with men in any field
B．a(chǎn)re suited more to domestic jobs than men
C．a(chǎn)re sensitive enough to be a good caretaker
D．a(chǎn)re too weak to do any agricultural work at all
小題2:Those who have prejudices against women think that_______.
A．women shouldn’t go out for work
B．women should earn money to add the family income
C．women going out for work should only do “women’s work”
D．women should take jobs to drill the special capabilities of the sex
小題3:The author thinks that the positions women hold outside_______.
A．a(chǎn)re determined by what they are better suited to
B．grow out of their household responsibilities
C．represent their breakthrough of sex discrimination
D．a(chǎn)re physically and emotionally suitable to them
小題4:What does the underlined sentence imply?
A．Sex roles are socially determined
B．Sex roles are emotionally and physically determined
C．Sex roles are biologically and psychologically determined
D．Sex roles are determined by education people take

The secret in re-remembering is to allow the full power of your memory to flow freely without “trying” to remember any one specific (特定的) thing.
I recently sat down to a relaxed and enjoyable dinner with some friends. At the beginning of the meal, a friend told us that his car had just been broken into and his briefcase (公文包) had been stolen. He was frustrated (懊惱的) because his diary and a number of other items important to him were in the briefcase. He said he could remember only four items that were in his stolen briefcase, that he knew there were many more, that he had to give a full report to the police within two hours, and that the more he tried to remember the more blocked he became.
Several of us at the table who were familiar with Memory Principles (規(guī)則) then took him through the following exercise; instead of continuing to allow him to think of what he could not remember, we asked him when he had last had his briefcase open. It turned out that it was at the office just before he left work, at which point he suddenly remembered that he had put two important magazine articles in the briefcase. We then asked him when he had last had the briefcase open before leaving home for work. It turned out to have been the night before, and he remembered having put in two more articles as well as a tape recorder, in preparation for the following morning. Finally we asked him to describe the inner (內(nèi)部的) design of his briefcase, and as he went through a detailed description, he remembered pens, pencils, letters and a number of other items that he had completely “forgotten” before.
Within 20 minutes, he remembered 18 additional items. The secret is to “forget about” whatever you are trying to remember and “relive” all experiences that connect in any way with the item you are trying to remember. This method works at once almost in all cases, and takes the form of a created Mind Map around the “missing” center.
This memory method, like the others, improves your memory as well as your creativity, and in addition gives you confidence when you realize that, no matter what you have forgotten, there is still a chance to solve any memory mystery (謎團(tuán))!
小題1:Which of the following shows how the man remembered the items according to the passage?

小題2:What does the underlined word “relive” mean in the passage?
A．go through againB．get out ofC．get used to againD．pay attention to
小題3:What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Forgetting — You can never really forget
B．Drawing — The better way to remember things
C．Re-remembering — Remember what you have forgotten
D．Replacing — Forgetting something instead of remembering

1. Mean old ladies
There is always a reason why an old lady gives you a serious look – you are being too loud, dressed improperly or not crossing the street in the right place. Sometimes it can be lovely, but if you are already having a bad day, a mean old lady can drive you mad.
What to do about it:
I’ve come to realize that when people start conflicts, it is actually an expression of their inner state expressed in an outside way. You, your personality, your looks or your actions have nothing to do with it. It is not personal, so why take it personally?
2. That person, who cuts in front of everybody in line
This is something that gets me angry. Even if I am not in a hurry, I still feel bad for the other people in line who are being treated unjustly. Are you more patient than I am or do you feel annoying too?
What to do about it:
If we have negative thoughts then we are wasting our energy on negativity. Situations like this could be a great opportunity to learn to control our first negative responses and practice understanding. After all, the person may just have a quick question or maybe there is an emergency.
Friends that tell you “I told you so”
It is one thing to admit that you made a mistake and another to hear it from a friend. Friends should be there to support you and cheer you up when you are feeling down, not make themselves feel better at your expense, right?
What to do about it:
It helps to remember that when people say “I told you so”, they may mean, “Please listen to my advice to avoid future mistakes.” If this is not the help you need – voice it out, without getting defensive.
小題1:According to the author, what can you do when meeting with a mean old lady?
A．Take it personally.B．Take it seriously.
C．Don’t apologize to her.D．Don’t get upset.
小題2:When seeing someone cutting in line, we’d better ________.
A．stop him immediatelyB．treat it with a good state of mind
C．pretend not to see itD．teach him a good lesson
小題3:The third tip intends to advise you ________.
A．not to keep silent at a friend’s improper suggestion
B．to tell your friend if they have misunderstood you
C．not to talk to your friend if they feel better at your expense
D．to apologize to your friend when you’ve done something wrong
小題4:What is the best title for this passage?
A．What to do when meeting with these people?
B．How to ask your friends for help when in trouble?
C．How to give advice to your friends when asked to?
D．What to say when faced with different situations?

No one knows why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few days—they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours; some may have hallucinations(幻覺).?
There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 per cent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep—office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.?
Children sleep more than grown-ups—perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend(傾向) to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.
小題1:According to the passage, some people are unable to think clearly because ___________ .
A．they have hallucinations
B．they feel sleepy during the working hours
C．they don’t have enough sleep
D．they are certain to be kept from going to bed
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．All grown-ups must have at least eight-hour sleep.
B．Most of grown-ups sleep for seven or eight hours.
C．Quite a few people need only 5 hours or less for them to sleep.
D．No grown-ups sleep more than ten hours.
小題3:Whether you have got enough sleep is judged by__________.
A．how many hours you have slept
B．how many hours you need to sleep
C．whether you do exercise and physical work
D．whether you feel fresh and energetic
小題4:According to the passage, a boy of 14 years old sleeps__________.
A．a(chǎn)s long hours as a grown-up
B．much longer hours than a grown-up
C．for 14 hours each night
D．for less than 8 hours per night

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
