33、) according to your car maker. Consider this: Your car is up and running smoothly but the mileage (里程) figures indicate that you need to have it serviced. Certainly, this is the right thing to do but have you wondered what actually goes in to make you pay that servicing bill every 6 months? Servicin
34、g your car is a simple DIY (Do It Yourself) job that you can learn quickly and easily to save some good money.

Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skil
40、led writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young childor even an animal, such as a pigeoncan learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone“s p
41、ersonality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone“s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to desc
42、ribe what is “a nice face“ looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels, a
43、cts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people“s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military typespeople are described with such terms. P
44、eople have always tried to “type“ each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain“s (坏人) or the hero“s role. In fact the words “person“ and “personality“ come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask“. Today, most television and movie actors do no
45、t wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guy from the bad guy because the two types differ in appearances as well as in actions.（分数：10.00）(1).By using the example of fingerprints, the author tells us that _.（分数：2.00）A.people can learn to recognize facesB.people have different personalitiesC.peo

48、 in their behavioral and physical characteristicsB.human fingerprints provide unique informationC.people“s behavior can be easily described in wordsD.human faces have complex features(5).Which of the following is the major point of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Why it is necessary to identify people“s pers
49、onality.9B.Why it is possible to describe people?C.How to get to know people?D.How best to recognize people7七、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)There is a definite possibility that the climate of the world may be changing.
