When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about wha
14、t happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed p
15、rocedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, y
16、ou know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say “oh, you may have a tooth out? Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont
17、 know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thi
18、nking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they li
19、ke.26. How does the author understand Maxies words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happyD. Maxie really worries about the authors security.27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The sal

22、sation.BI have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the babys point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a babys blood sugar level lies. All we know is
23、that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feedi
24、ng schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King, who was against feeding in the night. Ive never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldnt follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feedin
25、g a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at
26、 age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This Research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of
27、 parental education, family income, a childs sex and age, the mothers health and feeling style. These results dont surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.I hope this research will put an end to
28、advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.31. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels_.A. sick B. upset C. sleepy D. hungry32. What does the author think about Dr King?A. He is strict.B. He is unkind.C. He has the wrong idea.D. He sets a timetable for mothers.33

The baby will sleep well.B. The baby will have its brain harmed.C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.D.
30、The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35. The author supports deeding the baby_.A. in the nightB. every four hoursC. whenever it wants food D. according to its blood sugar levelCI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. A
31、fter all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldnt bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, coming across me wandering through the traffic; motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sort
32、s of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “Im awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had be
33、en apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldnt stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had
34、arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on
35、 this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alon
36、e for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.36. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_.A. she might be recognizedB. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing37.

37、ot off the bus that evening, she_.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something38. At the request stop that evening, the girl_.A. stopped a big lorryB. stopped the wrong busC. made no attempt to stop the busD. was not noticed by other people39. What w
38、as the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.40. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping
39、_.A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereDSports accounts for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from
40、particular sections of the general public, and then they have soled audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sports programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoonsthe slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sports
41、events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media c
42、orporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most b
43、usiness travelers are men that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings （收视率）are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attra
44、ctive to certain advertises. It is made up of people from the highest incomes groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis if sponsors by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday
45、 trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs dont nee
46、d high ratings to stay on the air.41. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons. A. result in more sport events. B. get more viewers to play sports. C. make more people interested in television.D. bring more money to the television networks.42. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A. Because there would be few viewer
