(A)

When a teacher mentions Flag Day" to the class, my deskmate Karen and I was to come up with an excuse to g6t out of the task. However, our teacher was very persuasive. That Saturday, we found ourselves standing along the Orchard road.

The heat was horrible. the mission was discouraging. we had been in the heat for four hours only to have our cans half-filled with street-sourced donations. No matter how sunny our smiles were, we failed to warm the hearts of most passers-by. We were crestfallen. We realized then that this was not just a task anymore but a burden many had refused to bear.

Our faces brightened up when finally one of the passes-by smiled and reached into her pockets. “A potential donor. After all that begging” we thought. But to our disappointment, all he did was to show us the flag sticker as proof of his past donation to a lucky can holder. Disappointed , we turned away and walked towards the nearby food court. Another hour had passed and our consul was still nowhere near filled.

We wanted to leave and return our cans in defeat. In fact, Karen, my equally disappointed partner, wanted to fill that cas with her own money, but gave up finding it hardly made any difference. Strangely, as we mourned our fate and complained at the miserliness of our fellow citizens, coins started clicking into our cans! Obviously, there was a heavy traffic of passers-by then heading to and from the food court since it was about lunch time. Our smiles returned and all sense of hopelessness and despair were replaced with pure joy and relief. Our cans were filling up and our efforts were not useless. Our confidence grew and we become braver. Karen and I even came near the potential donors with faith-we actually believed in our cause and the donors could sense it. In return, the donations came in more quickly and the cans clinked even more loudly

We were glad we actually stayed till our cans were filled. This task which we felt was a burden at first proved to be a meaningful activity. With the right attitude, correct location, patience and true sincerity to help the needy, we understood that Flag Day was truly for a very unportant cause.

(C)

Security guard, truck driver, salesperson---year after year, these jobs appear on lists of the unhappiest careers. Although many factors can make a job dismal unusual hours, low pay, no chance for advancement--- these three gigs stand out for another reason: a lack of small talk.

Psychologists have long said that connecting with others is central to well-being, but just how much conversation we require is under investigation. In one study, researchers eavesdropped on undergraduates for four days, then cataloged each overheard conversation as either small talk (What do you have there? Popcorn?(Yummy!) or serious (So did they get divorced soon after?). They found that the second type correlated with happiness---the happiest students had roughly twice as many substantive talks as the unhappiest ones. Small talk, meanwhile, made up only 10 percent of their conversation, versus almost 30 percent of conversation among the least content students.

However, don't just consider chat worthless yet. Scientists believe that small talk (which linguists describe as a form of phatic communication) could promote bonding. Chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago commuters varying directions about whether to talk with fellow train passengers something they typically avoided. Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey than those told to enjoy your solitude or to do whatever they normally would. None of the chatters reported being rebuffed. And the results held for introverts and extroverts alike which makes sense, since acting extroverted has a positive effect on introverts.

Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction. Similarly, one not yet published paper found that when volunteers broke the silence of the Tate Modern to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.

Of course, some of us are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger. In one study, people who were rated less curious by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (When did you last cry in front of someone?). But people who were deemed curious needed no help transforming conversations about mundane things like favorite holidays into intimate exchanges. A curious mind-set, the authors concluded, can lead to positive social interactions.

So go ahead, pry. Chitchat needn’t be idle. And nosiness isn’t all bad.

63. The author attributes the unhappiness felt by security guards, truck drivers and salespeople to______.

A．unusual hours and low pay

B．a lack of small talk

C．no chance for advancement

D．an absence of serious conversation

64. What was the conclusion of the study mentioned in the second paragraph?

A．Connecting with others is central to our well-being

B．We require 30 minutes of conversation every day to be happy

C．serious conversation is linked to happiness

D．small talk cannot help make us feel happy

65. The author used the Tate Modem example to demonstrate that____

A. connecting with others is key to our happiness

B. unserious conversation could promote bonding

C. small talk can help us feel connected to our surroundings

D. smiling can help people gain a great sense of belonging

65. Which of the following statement is true?

A. Chicago commuters generally avoid talking with fellow train passengers.

B. Small talk, is used excessively or incorrectly, can make people feel depressed.

C. The benefit of small talk is more obvious in introverts than in extroverts.

D. Most introverts fund it hard to turn small talk into something bigger.

Section C

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences listed below. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.

In the 19 century, millions of European went to the USA because they wanted to find a better life. Many of them couldn't find work in cities like New York._67_ The people, called settlers, travelled west through the mountains on the Oregon Trail.

Some of these people hoped to find gold in California. The journey sometimes took more than one year. There are a lot of films, called Westerns, about the settlers on the trail. In most of the film, we see the native Americans(American Indians) attacking the settlers, and the "Indians" killing many white people._68_ In fact, most of them were very helpful to the settlers.

_69_ many of them walked 3200 kilometers, the whole length of the trail. They had wagons, but the wagons were often too full, so people could not travel in them. Many parents also had to carry their small children. The people were very poor and many did not even have shoes— they walked the whole trail bare foot, in extremely cold temperature.

More than 50,000 people, including many women and children, died on the trail. A lot of people died from illnesses like cholera, because the drinking water wasn’t clean.

_70_Many people died under the wheels of wagons, for example, and from accidental gunshots.

A. Many of them lost their home.

B. There were also a lot of accidents.

C. They hoped they could make more money.

D. So they left and went to find farmlands in the west.

AB. It is true that the settlers ‘journey was extremely difficult

AC. But the truth is that the Native Americans were not the biggest problem for the settlers.

Section D

Directions: read the following passage carefully. Summarize the main idea in no more than 60 words.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates (气候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional (传统的), people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.

Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap-even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
