26、Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.
To begin with, “muzak” (音乐广播网) was intended simply to create a soothing (安慰) atmosphere. Recently, however,it has become big business—thanks in part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman, an American marketing expert, has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.
However, it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. Dr. Milliman found, for example, that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play uptempo_music to keep the customers moving—unless of course, the resulting indigestion (消化不良) leads to complaints!
【1】Background music means ________.
A.light music that customers enjoy most
B.fast music that makes people move fast
C.slow music that can make customers enjoy their meals
D.the music you are listening to while you are doing something
【2】Restaurant owners complain about slow music because ________.
A.it results in indigestion
B.it increases their sales
C.it keeps customers moving
D.it decreases their sales
【3】We can know from the text that ________.
A.background music was first used in big department stores
B.proper music can increase the selling of goods
C.light music has a bad effect on production
D.restaurant owners had better play slow music to comfort their customers
【4】The underlined expression “uptempo music” probably means ________.
A.slow music
B.fast music
C.light music
D.classical music
27、 Five great unusual study spaces
Independent coffee shops
Nowadays,independently owned coffee shops are found everywhere in the city.【1】 You can study in the quiet spot without being disturbed while enjoying a cup of coffee and your favorite snacks.
Outside
Reading outdoors is not possible for the entire year.But the spring,summer,and fall can provide students with the perfect mix of light,noise,and breeze for ideal studying.Throughout the city there are parks and squares where you will be able to find your perfect spot.【2】
Student spaces
This suggestion may seem obvious at first.However,students tend to pick the same spaces designated for studying when they look for a place on campus to read.Try going to a space that isn’t a designated quiet space but rather an activities room,dining hall,or music room.【3】 Try out a variety of spaces to discover the noise level that works best for you.
A pub
During the late afternoon and early evening,especially on week days,many pubs are fairly quiet and empty.【4】 You can really enjoy the peaceful atmosphere there.
A museum or gallery
【5】 This provides students with another fairly quiet place to read.Not only will students be surrounded by wonderful visual stimuli,the inspirational aspect of these institutions can also prompt students to put more effort into their work.
A.Think it over and you’ll get the answer.
B.Maybe it is the best place for you to make friends.
C.So finding a quiet spot could not be difficult for you.
D.Try to avoid areas where you’ll see a lot of schoolmates who you know.
E.You can really focus on your studying while calming down with a beer.

28、When I entered Oxford University, I wasn’t particularly interested in joining the rowing club. I just wanted to know what it was like to row in one of those narrow boats, so I signed up with the intention of quitting after the first session. At least that’s what I thought.
Six months later, I found myself sitting in a rowing boat with three teammates, waiting for a 2000-meter race to start. In the boat alongside us sat a crew from the university’s team, two of whom had won medals at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. My crew was only rowing at college level and we had only trained a few times as a team, so facing such strong athletes was quite terrifying. I tried to focus my mind on the race, not on my opponents.
Go! We pushed off with all our might and rowed as fast as we could. As we reached the halfway mark, the other crew was ahead of us. But to my amazement we were gaining on them. If we could win the race, we would get through to the final! We pushed even harder, ignoring the pain in our legs and drawing energy from the cheers of our college friends. I could already sense the sweet taste of victory.
But then, disaster. One of my teammates lost control of his oar (桨), knocking him nearly out of the boat. We came to a sudden stop, and watched as our opponents crossed the finishing line. It was the most disappointing moment in my life. I wanted to punch my teammate who had ruined everything and push him into the water. But when I saw how angry he was with himself, I gave him a hug.
Although we lost, I’m still proud of how well we did that day facing a much stronger team. What I remember now is the thrill of racing, not the pain of defeat.
【1】Why did the author join the rowing club?
A.He was fond of rowing.
B.He was curious about rowing.
C.He signed with the team.
D.He wanted to quit another club.
【2】How did the author feel before the race?
A.Disappointed.
B.Amazed.
C.Worried.
D.Surprised.
【3】Why did they lose the game?
A.They were out of boat.
B.A group member made a mistake.
C.They were worn out.
D.The opponents were too strong.
【4】What lesson did the author learn from his experience?
A.Failure is the mother of success.
B.Trying your best is the best award.
C.Two heads are better than one.
D.Modesty helps one go forward.
29、Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. 【1】 If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
【2】 We take that knowledge later to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
Though we are limited (限制) within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! 【3】 Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.
When there’s a decrease in the economy (经济), those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skill set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn more money.
When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you can get close to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. 【4】 Good networking can do much good to you in your later life.
【5】 You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip (说闲话), having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.
A.So they choose not to go to college.
B.We come to know that ours is not the only culture.
C.A good education makes you a more interesting person.
D.It means a good education leads to excellent networking.
E.There is a very terrible side to earning a good education too.

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
One day, my brother and I were alone in our apartment. The reason was that my parents had both gone for a ball party and had left me in charge of everything. I was doing my homework while my younger brother was watching TV. All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong! My younger brother had rushed to the door before I decided to answer the door. We both thought that our parents had come home. As a result, he unlocked the door and opened it.
Outside of the house stood a man who wore a black raincoat and black rubber boots. He looked no different from other people and he said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home so he could talk with them.
Without any thinking, my brother said, “No.” He asked if we would like to buy some comic books, which he was selling. I quickly explained to him that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parents’ permission. However, it seemed that he was not willing to follow my advice and he had an intention to enter our house.
Then, I realized something terrible would happen. As I was about to close the door, he forced his way into our house. He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother’s hands with some rope which he took out from his pocket. I tied up his hands but I tied itin a special way so my brother could untie himself as we often did. The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen.
Soon, he went upstairs to search the bedroom for something valuable. I managed to teach my brother to untie the roop on his hands. He then untied me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police, but line was dead.
