You are walking down the street.　 Suddenly it starts to rain and you don’t have an umbrella.　 What do you do? Run or walk?

Most people would choose to run because it will get you out of the rain faster.　 But if you run, you also run into more raindrops.　 So what should you do?

Franco Bocci, a teacher at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that you should consider the wind direction and your body shape when you try to decide to move slowly or quickly in rain, according to the BBC. 　　

When there is no wind and the rain is landing directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run as fast as possible.

But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is walking at the same speed as the wind.　 This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry.

When the wind blows from the side, you'll have to think about one more thing—your body shape.　 Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops.　 So a fatter person should run, while a thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind.

“In general (大体来说)，the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general, Bocci told BBC News.　 “If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an optimal speed.　 Otherwise (否则），it is better to run fast. ”

Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you in the middle of the street.　 But the best way to stay dry is still to carry an umbrella.

1.According to Bocci, when it rains and there is no wind, what should you do?

A.Walk slowly. B.Run as fast as you can.

C.Wait until the rain stops. D.Walk at the same speed as the rain.

2.Walking at the same speed when the wind comes from behind will 　　　　 .

A.help you walk easily in the rain B.keep any rain falling on you

C.stop you from falling over D.keep your body mostly dry

3.If the wind comes from the side, a thin person should consider________.

A.how fast he can run B.how long the rain will last

C.what the speed of the wind is D.what clothes he is wearing

4.The underlined word “optimal” probably means________.

A.合适的 B.极限的 C.缓慢的 D.难以超越的

You’ve probably seen it before－two elderly people walking hand in hand down the street and looking very much like each other. They look so much alike that they could be brother and sister.

Do you believe that people who live together for many years would look alike? It’s strange. but scientists say it’s true.

How scientists proved it? In a study, scientists found young couples only showed similarity by chance. However, elder couples were very likely to look like each other. The similarity could be very subtle(微妙) and could be found in wrinkles(皱纹) or furrows, etc. Besides, some couples look far more alike than other couples.

The scientists thought of several possible reasons:

1. Diet. “We are what we eat.” As couples usually share the same diet, will they probably look alike? For example, if both partners eat a high fat diet, their faces will tend to look fat. However, the scientists ruled this out(排除) using another small study.

2. Environment. Will elderly couples show similarity because they live together in the same area for a long time? The environmental factors(因素) such as sunshine and wind affect the skin in similar ways. The scientists ruled this possibility out as well.

3. Empathy(移情作用). This is the theory(理论) the scientists believe in. Couples grow to look similar because they are empathizing with each other. They copy each other’s facial expressions. For example, if one partner often smiles in a certain way, the other is likely to copy it. In this way, their faces share similar wrinkles and furrows.

1. The old couples look ________ than the young couples.

A. much more alike　　 B. more different

C. less alike　　　　　 D. 1ess different

2. Scientists think that the old couples look alike in their ________.

A. ages　　　　　　　　 B. education

C. appearance　　　　　　 D. abilities

3. How many reasons did the scientist think of about it?

A. One.　　B. Two.　　C. Four.　　 D. Three

4. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Your diet can affect your appearance.

B. You will look slim if you eat a high fat diet.

C. Old couples look similar because they are empathizing with each other.

D. Old couples usually share similar wrinkles and furrows.

5. Which is the theory the scientists believe in?

A. Empathy.　　 　　　　 B. Diet.

C. Environment.　　　D. Wrinkles.

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳答案。

A

So, let’s imagine you are walking down the street drinking a box of tea. You finish drinking the tea. Now, what do you do with the box? Do you drop it on the ground? Or, do you do the right thing and drop it in a trash can? Hopefully, you drop it in the trash can because, besides harming the environment, littering is also very impolite.

Recently, a magazine published a list of the most polite cities in the world. They looked three things: did people litter, did shop clerks say thank you and did people hold the door open for the person behind them? The top three politest cities were New York, USA, Zurich, Switzerland, and Toronto, Canada. Hong Kong, China was number 35. Shanghai wasn’t even on the list.

Does that mean that Shanghai is not a polite city? Well, maybe. There are different ways to judge(判断) politeness but the survey was looking at how a visitor to a city would feel when walking around its public places. Visitors don’t like to step over empty tea boxes as they walk down the street. They don’t like it when they buy something and the shop clerk doesn’t say thank you or even give them a smile. They also don’t like it when someone lets a door slam(砰然关上) into them instead of holding it open.

Shanghai is a nice city but it is not always the most polite city. I don’t think this is intentional(有意的). I think it’s just a lack of awareness(缺乏意识). China is becoming a popular place for tourists to visit. When they come to Shanghai they will find a friendly city: it would be nice if they also found a polite one. And, remember, being polite makes you feel good, too. It’s nice to be nice.

1.The following cities EXCEPT ________ are on the list of the most polite cities in the world.

A. Shanghai　　　　　　 B. Toronto

C. New York　　　　　　 D. Zurich

2.How many cities are mentioned in this passage?

A. Four.　　　　　　　　 B. Five.

C. Six.　　　　　　　　　 D. Seven.

3.Why is Shanghai not always the most polite city in the survey?

A. Because people there don’t realize the importance of politeness.

B. Because people there are not friendly enough

C. Because the food there is not delicious.

D. Because the city is too old.

4.In the survey, it is looked to be impolite ________.

A. to give visitors a smile

B. to drop tea boxes into the trash can

C. to say thank you to visitors

D. to hold the door closed for visitors

5.The writer mainly wants to tell us ________.

A. not to drink tea in the street

B. to hold the door open for anybody

C. to remember to be polite in public places

D. to travel to the most polite cities more often
