For most of us, success in school has very little to do with actual learning. The most important thing you have to master is how to play the grade games. you think out your own strategies for getting high marks, everything opens up to you.

At times, it can almost turn into a funny game of hit and . Some students haven't mastered the of test taking, and some fear under pressure or need more time or another way to what they know.

Today, as in every other day of the year, more than 3,000 U.S. adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3,000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths due to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death. Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised. First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors beat that among female by nearly 10 percent . The statistic is reversing (完全相反的). Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent . Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking level among youth. 1.According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____. A. traffic accidents B. smoking-related disease C. murder D. all of these 2. Every day there are over _____ high school students who will become regular smoker. A.75 B.23 C.30 D.3000 3.By "dropout" the author means ________ A. students who failed the examination B. students who left school C. students who lost their way D. students who were driven out of school 4.The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that ________. A. NCI has taken effective measures B. smoking is prevented among high school seniors C. there are many smokers who have died of cancer D. none of these 5.What is implied by the author is that ________. A. smoking rates among youth have declined very little B. there are now more female than male smokers among high school seniors C. high smoking rates are due to the increase in wealth D. smoking at high school are from low socio-economic backgrounds

It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations. Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few possibilities of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them. The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities. Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary (多学科的) team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.” 1.By “a A. university researchers know little about the commercial world B. there is little exchange between industry and academia C. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university D. few university professors are willing to do industrial research 2.The word “deterrent” (Line 3, Para. 1) most probably refers to something that ________. A. keeps someone from taking action B. helps to move the traffic C. attracts people’s attention D. brings someone a financial burden 3.What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career? A. Flexible work hours. B. Her research interests. C. Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. D. Prospects of academic accomplishments. 4.Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________. A．do financially more rewarding work B．raise his status in the academic world C．enrich his experience in medical research D．take advantage of better intellectual opportunities 5.What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university? A．Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market B．Develop its students’ potential in research. C．Help it to obtain financial support from industry. D．Adapt its research to practical applications.

The predictability of our death rates is something that has long puzzled social scientists.

Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s length”, people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away. When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should qu 1. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about __________.

The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 1. It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway. Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak". About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 2. If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 3. Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 4. Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries. 5. . They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax 【注意】：若选择答案【E】请在答题卡上涂黑【A+B】若选择答案【F】则请涂黑【C+D】 A. Some people don’t like Muzak. B. The music gives them extra energy. C. Music is playing in the backgr D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more. E. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used. F. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.
