21、You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?

The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.

Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.

Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers(顾客) usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.

There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these at once. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see and even reach them.

Except what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time(and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it is quieter on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait for your turn.

So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come out with just the things you want.

【1】Many supermarkets put red stickers on products to ________.

A．make them look more beautiful

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A．several rules that every business should follow

B．several ways supermarkets use to sell more products

C．some advertisements that make customers buy more

D．some advice when people go shopping in supermarkets

【4】Perhaps the writer agrees that ________.

A．people like soft and slow music in supermarkets

B．things are cheaper in supermarkets than in other shops

C．people should just buy things they need in supermarkets

D．people should leave the supermarket with a trolley full of things

22、Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.

Be calm (冷静的). Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved (卷入) in a fight will be punished, no matter who started it. There are no winners in a fight.

Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn’t stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.

________ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.

23、When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.

Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.

Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.

Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.

What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.

For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.

Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.

【1】We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.

A．relaxed

B．worried

C．hungry

D．proud

【2】How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?

A．They ate it in a polite way.

B．They only ate its best part.

C．They ate every part of it.

D．They shared only one piece.

【3】In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.

A．was just a rich businessman

B．worked hard all the time

C．lived a rich but healthy life

D．knew how to make money

【4】The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A．the best part of the watermelon

B．the writer’s busy life

C．the writer’s decision of making money

D．the writer’s hope of enjoying life

【5】It can be learned from the passage that ______.

A．one has to work hard to reach his goal

B．a friend in need is a friend in deed

C．watermelon is the healthiest fruit

D．one should keep work-life balance

24、We all know that plants are delicious food for insects(昆虫). But some plants are able to develop ways to protect themselves from insects.

Some plants have physical features(特点) that stop insects from landing on them. For example, the passion plant’s(龙珠果的) leaves have little spiky(有尖刺的) hairs all over them. They are like spikes, pushing out of that plant. There are so many that no room is left for the insects to land on. So the insects can’t eat them. The little hairs serve as a physical feature that helps protect the passion plant from insects.

Other plants protect themselves using chemical things, like the potato plant. The potato plant is able to give out a chemical all over its leaves. The insect swallows this chemical as it eats the leaves. This chemical discourages the insect from wanting to eat more of the plant. How? Well, this chemical makes the insect feel full, like it’s already had enough. The insect no longer feels hungry so it stops eating the plant. So, by giving out this chemical, the potato plant protects itself from insects.

【1】What is true about the passion plant?

A．It doesn’t have any leaves.

B．Its leaves are full of spikes.

C．It is too small for insects to eat.

D．Insects like to eat spikes of the passion plant.

【2】The underlined word “discourages” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.

A．鼓励

B．吞噬

C．阻止

D．使灰心

【3】How does the potato plant protect itself?

A．It gives out a chemical making insects feel full.

B．It has too many leaves for insects to eat.

C．It has bad leaves for insects to eat.

D．It gives out a chemical to kill insects.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．How to grow plants.

B．Two ways for plants to protect themselves.

C．The relationship between plants and insects.

D．How to make plants stay away from insects.

25、

Japanese students work very hard 【1】many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures 【2】 their parents. Their parents always tell them to study harder so【3】they can have a wonderful life in the 【4】 . Though this may be a good idea for those clever students, it can have terrible results for others. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the 【5】. They feel that everyone else hates them. And they don’t want to go to school at all. They became dropouts(辍学).

Though most Japanese parents are worried 【6】 their children, they do not help them【7】any way. Many parents think it is the teachers’ work to 【8】 their children.

Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with 【9】, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.

Many Japanese schools usually have strict rules about many things, 【10】as the students’ hair, their clothes and things in the school bags. Such rules are bad to the feelings of the students.
