26、People from all over the world visit Disneyland to have fun, not to get sick. But last week, an outbreak of measles(麻疹)spread from the Southern California theme park. As of Monday, January 19, at least 52 people have got the easily spread illness.
The majority of the reported cases of measles are from people who visited the park before. According to the California Department of Public Health, these people were exposed to the illness at Disneyland from December 17-20.
Officials believe the cause is likely someone who caught measles abroad and visited Disneyland, but this has yet to be proved. However, in 2014, California had its highest measles infection rate in nearly twenty years. There were 66 cases of measles reported in the state―23 of them in Orange County, where Disneyland is located.
Measles spreads very easily. It can be caught from coughing and sneezing. Crowded areas like theme parks are especially suitable for its spread.
The illness starts with a fever and develops into symptoms including a cough, runny nose, red eyes and so on. About three out of ten people infected with measles will develop another health problem, including an ear infection or pneumonia(肺炎).
The best way to guard against measles is to get vaccinated(打疫苗). An unvaccinated person is 35 times more likely to catch measles than someone who received a vaccination.
【1】What’s the possible reason of this illness’s occurring in California?
A. There were too many people visiting Disneyland.
B. Somebody with measles visited Disneyland.
C. California is a place fit for this illness’s spread.
D. Some people ate something that had gone bad.
【2】After visiting Disneyland some people ___________.
A. had a lot of fun B. were found missing
C. lost their lives D. became seriously ill
【3】How many people suffered from measles in California in 2014?

27、 Americans wear black for mourning (哀悼) while Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as monsters. Chinese honor them as symbols of God. Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities (对立)with the West, as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string. Now in the University of California, Berkeley, a psychologist, has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures—polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.
His findings go far toward explaining why American cultures seem to be aggressive and Chinese cultures so passive, when compared to each other. More importantly, the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways. The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth, said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing Scholar, who is now a UC Berkley assistant professor of psychology. And Americans could profit enormously from the Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life, he said.
“Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument,” said Peng. “The problem is that at the interpersonal level you really don’t need to find the truth, or maybe there isn’t any.” Chinese people, said Peng, are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages, because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions. They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans, he added.
In studies of interpersonal (人际的) argument, for example, when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school, Peng found that Americans were “non-compromising (折中), blaming one side—usually the mother—for the causes of the problems, demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise” in dealing with the conflict. Compared to this angry, blaming American method, the Chinese were paragons (模范) of compromise, finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle.
【1】In Paragraph 1, the author sets examples in order to ____.
A.expose the contradiction between Chinese and Americans
B.show the differences between Chinese culture and American culture
C.find the reason for the differences
D.generalize the main idea of the passage
【2】In the opinion of Peng, compared with Americans, Chinese are____.
A.likely to find the truth in life
B.unwilling to admit their own failure
C.unwilling to have a general idea of things
D.likely to know advantages and disadvantages of things
【3】The studies show___.
A.an American treats his or her mother badly
B.different ideas of treating the aged
C.different personality of Chinese and Americans
D.different hobbies of Americans and Chinese
【4】The main idea of the passage is___.
A.polarities between American and Chinese cultures
B.extreme ends of the string
C.different attitudes towards the aged
D.different manners in social occasions
28、How to Start a Friendship
To increase the chances that a friendship will grow, children need to express openness to others.
A very basic way to show openness is to exchange greetings with kids around them.【1】 If another child says "Hi!" to them, they usually look away or say nothing because they feel awkward and shy. But they are giving the other child the impression that "I don't like you, and leave me alone!" Actually, that's not how they feel, although that's what they're showing. On the other hand, some outgoing children may go so far that they keep greeting anyone even if the other children feel uncomfortable with this behavior. It doesn't open the door for friendship.【2】
Praising is another easy way to show openness to friendship. Everyone feels good to receive a sincere praise, and usually likes people who are kind enough to notice his best side!
【3】It could mean lending a pencil to a classmate, saving him a seat, helping him carry something, or sharing a lunch treat. Kindness leads more kindness and it's one of the best ways to begin a friendship. It is true that kind children are better liked by the other kids. But if they try to buy friendship with money or expensive gifts, it will never work.【4】
Showing openness just opens a door to friendship.【5】To increase the chances that a friendship will grow, children need to send their friendship invitations to kids who might come in.
A.Actually, it shuts the door.
B.However, shy children often have trouble with this.
C.Instead, it is to show weakness rather than kindness.
D.Expressing openness to others opens the door to friendship.
E.But it doesn't guarantee that anyone will walk through that door.
F.Small kindnesses can also be a good way to send invitation for friendship.
G.Extend their friendship invitations to the right kids who want to come in.
