(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If so...

(Q = Question; A = Answer)

Situation I

Q: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?

A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.

Situation II

Q: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?

A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.

Situation III

Q: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?

A: No. Try other means: 1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.

Situation IV

Q: If I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?

A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for: “Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.”

Situation V

Q: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was loo busy or lazy to respond to it?

A: Don’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond(回复) to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “Yes,” you can say if ever asked, “I saw it.” No explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.

1.How will you quiet someone down in a public place?

A. By talking to him directly.

B. By pointing angrily at him.

C. By looking purposefully at him.

D. By making fun of him continuously.

2.The underlined word “belated” in Situation IV probably means ________.

A. delayed　　 B. returned　　　　 C. predicted　 D. regretted

3.You will get annoyed in a theater when ________.

A. a person is too rude to you

B. a person sits too close to you

C. a person is too active

D. a person talks too loudly

4.What is the passage mainly about?

C. Proper manners to offer help to others.

D. Modern ways to mind your manners.

Are you getting enough protein（蛋白质）? The question provides its own answer: If you are worrying about the amount of protein in your diet, then you are almost certainly eating more than enough.

You merely need to visit a western supermarket today to see that many people regard protein as some kind of excellent medicine — one food companies are profitably adding to anything they can. “When the Box says ‘Protein’, Shoppers say ‘I’ll take it’” was the headline of a 2013 article in The Wall Street Journal.

The intensity of our protein obsession can only be understood as part of a wider series of diet battles that go back half a century. If we now thirst for protein as if it were water, it may be because the other two macronutrients — fats and carbohydrates — have each in turn been made to seem poisonous (有毒的) in the public mind.

In the current nutrition wars, protein has emerged as the last macronutrient left standing. David L. Katz, an American doctor and public health scholar who is the director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center said, “First they told us to cut fat. But instead of whole grains and lentils, we ate low-fat junk food.” Then food marketers heard the message about cutting carbohydrates and sold us protein-enriched junk foods instead.

For decades now, there has been a tendency to think about what we eat and drink in terms of nutrients, rather than read whole ingredients in all their complexity. A combination of diet fads and clever marketing has got us here. It doesn’t matter whether we fixate on “low fat” or “low carbohydrates” or “high protein” — we are making the same old mistakes about nutrition in a new form.

1.How does the author begin the article?

A.By raising a question.

B.By giving an assumption.

C.By describing a phenomenon.

D.By illustrating a typical case.

2.How many kinds of macronutrients does food provide us with according to paragraph 3?

A.Two B.Three

C.Four D.Five

3.What is the author’s attitude towards protein according to the text?

A.Cold. B.Crazy.

C.Sensible. D.Critical.

Can you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.

Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.

The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.

Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here’s where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles — making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles — so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.

When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren’t fooled — they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.

As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they’re more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.

1.Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate________.

2.When asked to find the larger circle,________.

3.According to the passage, we can know that________.

4.Visual context may work when children get older than________.

5.Why are younger children not fooled?

To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence (智力)? The answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet．

If you ran into Smarter Child online , you would be surprised at this kid’s huge memory．It can recite many facts． For example , Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season．

He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US．However , if you ask Smarter Child other questions , you get stranger answers．A question about Smarter Child’s age returns． “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” Asking where he lives gets , “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California．”

Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank．To answer questions about spelling , for instance , Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online．For the weather , he visits www．intellicast．com．

Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet , an artificial being with the combined knowledge of , say , Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born．However if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A．I．, Artificial Intelligence , he must overcome two problems．

The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways．That’s why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather．It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself．

Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process (处理) information more exactly and faster than any human , he lacks common sense—a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child．

67．From the text we can infer that www．intellicast．com is a website___________．

A．which is specially designed to help Smarter Child

B．where we people can find Smarter Child

C．where weather forecasts are made

D．which is about artificial intelligence

68．It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to_______．

A．tell us how to spell a difficult word

B．tell us how the American government is run

C．provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare

D．learn how to tell right behaviors from wrong ones。

69．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A．Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information．

B．A．I．Artificial Intelligence is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer．

C．Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own．

D．We have similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein , Nixon and Spears．
