When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with
14、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 me and my groceries out the door. The words
15、came out in the same tone (腔调) 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 with each other. Sometimes it indicates th
16、e 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 says “Have a nice day” to you, you may
17、find it heart- warming because 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 salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and al
18、l 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 sincere, it is always spoken. The point
19、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. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the authors security.27.What does the unde
20、rlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The sales-girl is rude. B. The sales-girl is bored.C. The sales-girl cares about me. D. The sales-girl says the words as a routine.28.By saying “Have a nice day,” a stranger may _.A. try to be polite to you B. express respect to youC. give his blessing to you D
21、. share his pleasure with you29.According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a nice day”_.A. sincerely B. as thanks C. as a habit D. encouragingly30.What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Daya Social CustomB. Have a Nice Daya Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Daya Heart-warming Greet
22、ingD. Have a Nice Daya Polite Ending of a ConversationBI have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the babys point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where
23、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 crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkin
24、d 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 anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldnt follow a timetab
25、le 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 weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babie
26、s 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 from Oxford and Essex University using a sample(样本)of 10,419 child
27、ren 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. Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar le
28、vels. I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.31.According to Paragraph 2,one reason why a baby cries is that it feels_.A. sick B. upset C. sleepy D. hungry32.What does the author think about Dr King?A.

The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35.The author supports feeling the baby_.A. in the night B. every four hoursC. whenever it wants food D. according to its blood sugar levelCI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a
31、white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager 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 the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brak
32、es. 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 sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it ha
33、ppened 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 wouldnt stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there a
34、nd I had to try 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 it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and
35、 ask someone at the stop for help.But on 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 I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself,
36、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 help looked sillyC. she was normal and independent D. being fond bl

39、cided to walk to the next stop, hoping_.A. to find people there B. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself there D. to find people more helpful thereD Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies h
40、ave used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoonsthe slowest time periods of the week
41、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 sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally woul
42、d 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 advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract made
43、 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 sports attract few viewers, and the ratings(收视率)are unusually low. Howe
44、ver, 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, to certain advertisers.
