26、   Starbuck’s founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso(浓咖啡) in a bar. He took a good product, repackaged it and globalized it. But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-sounding offerings on their menus.

Now, I am part-Italian and like most Italians, I think that Italy represents the height of coffee culture, against the standard by which all coffee should be measured. My Italian friends and family hate the idea of adding a little sugar juice or other things to their valuable cappuccino(卡布基诺). I have a coffee machine at home, which is to the Italian kitchen what the kettle is to the British. As far as I’m concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes(拿铁) and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.

You’d never ask for a latte in Italy. If you did, you’d get served a glass of milk. Coffee and espresso are the same in Italy. Then there’s the Australian “white coffee”, a halfway house between a Starbucks-style latte and a macchiato(玛奇朵). The “white coffee” has gone global so much that recently it replaced the cappuccino on Starbucks’ menu in some parts of the US.

What’s more, Italians don’t waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet. Still, when it comes to taste, Italians are trying to reclaim the ground. Part of the problem is the price of coffee. Most Italian bars will not charge more than one euro a cup, which means there isn’t the choice to purchase more high-quality coffee. Italian flavor is held back by the way the coffee is boiled.

I still think I’ll be sticking to home-made coffee from my trusted machine. And I’ll continue to drink it in the Italian way.

【1】What’s the purpose of telling the story of Starbucks in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the topic of the passage. B.To introduce the history of Starbucks.

C.To present the standard of good coffee. D.To explain the key to the success of Starbucks.

【2】In the author’s opinion, the coffee served in Starbucks and other branded stores _______.

A.contains too much sugar juice B.represents the Italian coffee culture

C.is very different from that served in the US D.cannot meet the Italian standard of good coffee

【3】Italians prefer home-made coffee due to the fact that _______.

A.home-made coffee is much cheaper

B.they can produce proper Italian coffee at home

C.each family has a tradition to use the coffee machine

D.they can have access to the Internet when drinking coffee at home

27、   Whenever we see a button, we are eager to press it because we know something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some buttons are actually fake (假的), like the “close” button on a lift.

Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts “close” buttons are a complete scam, at least in the US—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.

It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.

But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control. “Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “Having a lack of control is connected with depression (抑郁).”

Experts have expressed that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.

But Psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.

“That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said, “Even though I have real doubts (怀疑) about the traffic light buttons, I always press them. After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?”

【1】What was the author’s main purpose in writing the article?

A.To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.

B.To tell the uses of fake buttons.

C.To explore people’s different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.

D.To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.

【2】What does the underlined word “scam” mean？

A.Trick. B.Tool. C.Button. D.Mistake.

【3】According to John Kounios, people who press fake buttons _______.

A.don’t know that what they press is fake B.should give up this habit

C.consider what they do to be meaningless D.probably do so to kill time

29、   School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That's no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately remove the powerful social labels from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the "wrong" clothes.

Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends.

As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes the symbol of law and order. The uniform means his or her special duties to the wearer and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear different uniforms. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours in school is to get education.

Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children's "creativity." First, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They just copy their classmates. Second,while students are in school, their job is to master reading, writing and maths. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.

【1】In Paragraph 1, the word "benefits" probably means______________.

A.tasks B.messages C.differences D.advantages

【2】From the passage we learn that uniforms in general ___________.

A.prevent the wearers from being laughed at

B.help the wearers keep their duties in mind

C.are seen as a symbol of power

A.they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms

B.they believe that uniforms will make students less creative

C.they don't agree that uniforms can remove social labels

D.they think that school uniforms are too popular

【4】The author would probably agree that __________.

A.it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not

B.students’ individuality may not come from school education

C.students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose

D.school uniforms help to create equality among students
