13、Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographsone photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove
14、any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements
15、 were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples. Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person
16、 tends to ropy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,“ he says, “is the common experience of the couples. “ There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to chan
17、ge their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.（分数：10.00）(1).Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of_.（分数：2.00）A.imitating the couples lifeB.grouping the couples againC.le

21、sBy adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children s language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the childrens language development. If a parent encourages the child to activel
22、y respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given
23、a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help child
24、ren find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5. 5 months ahead of the control gr
25、oup on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Children who talk a lot are more in

30、o sitting with people they don t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them. At American restau
31、rants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill. Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for
32、 bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day. Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag“. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but every
33、body knows you re taking the food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “ Sunday dinner“. This is an especially big noon meal. Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expect
34、ed and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.American people will never sit with people th

When a person feels like running away from something he
39、thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be crea
40、ted by a person s thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emot
41、ion. Psychologists think that there are two types of emotions: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sad
42、ness and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy. Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid t
43、he emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental e
44、nergy he needs for the examination.（分数：10.00）(1).We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something_.（分数：2.00）A.one thinks bad or goodB.one feels in dangerC.one faces in the outside worldD.one tries to escape from real life(2).Which of the following is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Children lea
