26、   At times we can all get angry when we are driving. It might be because we are stuck in a traffic jam or caught behind a very slow driver. It might also be because we think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. Whatever the reason, it seems that getting angry in a car is something that happens more and more often and there is now a special term for it: 'road rage'.

Some experts even think that road rage is a kind of mental illness! How can we recognize this＇illness' of road rage?

There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive driving and aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different forms:

＊Driving much faster than the speed limit.

＊Increasing your speed very quickly.

＊Driving very close behind the car in front and sounding the horn(喇叭） or flashing the headlights.

＊Changing lanes(车道）very abruptly and blocking another car.

＊Moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park.

There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include:

＊Making rude signs at people.

＊Shouting at people and threatening them.

＊ Deliberately driving into another person's car.

＊Hitting somebody.

＊Using a weapon such as baseball bat, or even a gun or a knife.

Road rage is certainly not a joke. There have been incidents of road rage which have led to serious injuries and even attempted murders. Experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving such as car chases where this kind of driving seems to be positive. Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious enough.

Experience shows that driving problems can be controlled, but it takes a long time. In the UK in the last 30 years, the police have been quite successful in reducing the number of people who drink and drive. They are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. Let's hope they can have the same success with road rage.

【1】Which of the following statements does NOT describe aggressive driving?

28、History tells us that footwear was one of the first things ancient people learned to make. Footwear helped them across rocky paths or hot sands without injuring themselves. The earliest footwear we know of was simply a piece of plaited (编织的) grass or leather tied to the feet.

The ancient Egyptians seem to have invented the first footwear with a firm sole (鞋底) — sandals. Egyptian royalty usually wore sandals that had a different style from those with lower status (身份), while slaves were not allowed to wear anything on their feet. The sandal is still the basic form of footwear in many countries, particularly those with a hot climate, whereas in cold climates, an entirely different type of shoe appeared — the moccasin — a slipper-shaped shoe made of soft but strong leather.

The Greeks were the first to develop shoes with heels (鞋跟). Then, in the Middle Ages, shoes with long points at the toe became very chic for the nobility. These shoes were often very difficult to wear. Other trends followed, with square-toed shoes, wide shoes, and even shoes that could make a woman stand two feet taller. Not surprisingly, these sometimes led to accidents. Even today, fashion rather than comfort often leads to the kind of shoes women wear.

Mechanical shoemaking appeared in the 1800s in North America. Until then, shoes had been made with the same kinds of hand tools used by the ancient Egyptians. And in 1858, a machine was invented that could stitch (缝合) the sole of a shoe to the upper part. Now it was possible to make shoes that were shaped to fit either the left or right foot. Toward the end of the 1800s came a new type of shoe that was specifically designed for sports — the sneaker — and it soon become an all-time favorite.

【1】What did shoes often show in ancient times?

A．The rich resources.

B．People's different beliefs.

C．People's status in society.

D．The changeable climates.

【2】What does the underlined word “chic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Valuable.

B．Convenient.

C．Fashionable.

D．Comfortable.

【3】Before mechanical shoemaking appeared, _____.

A．shoes were often very difficult for people to wear.

B．all the shoe patterns made by the Greeks were the same.

C．the only function of footwear was to protect people's feet.

D．people wore the same-shaped shoes on their two feet

【4】How does the text mainly develop?

A．By providing examples.

B．By making comparisons.

C．By following the order of time.

D．By following the order of importance.

31、

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a 【1】 conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about 【2】: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only 【3】 of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.

In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly 【4】 between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over 【5】 things. Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his 【6】 to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad 【7】 is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn't matter what the topic is--politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg--the 【8】 of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority--someone who actually knows something--and therefore to 【9】 respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to 【10】 that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
