Tips for waiting in line
When lining up at the supermarket
checkout counter, the lines next to us always seem
to be moving
faster than the one that we are standing
in.
Now the New York Times has put together
the research of scientists to give you some
insights into the math
and psychology of queuing. It also offered tips on
picking the
fastest line no matter if you’re
lining up in a supermarket, a bank
or anywhere else.
Picking someone with a full
chart
US mathematician Dan Meyer believes
that a
chart(购物车)
full of items doesn’t tell the whole
story.
“Every person requires a fixed
amount of time to say hello, pay,
say goodbye and clear out of the
lane,” he said. And that amount of
time is an average of 41 seconds per
person.
On the other hand, the time that each
item takes to be rung up is only three seconds.
That means if there
are five people ahead of you, each with ten items
in their charts,
the waiting time will be 355 seconds. But if there
is only one
person ahead of you ,with 50 items in the chart,
the waiting time
is 191 seconds. You do the math.
Study the customer
How many people are ahead of you is one thing, and
who they are is
another. For example, if they are old people
– and this is not
ageist(年龄歧视的)
– they tend to move slower and delay the
checkout
process.
The items in their chart are also important. For
example, four
bottles of the same milk will definitely go faster
than four
completely different items.
Choose a “serpentine
line”
In some places, there may be just one
line leading to several checkout counters. The
person at the head
of the line goes to the next available counter.
This is known as a
“serpentine(蛇形的)
line”. You should always choose a serpentine
line
because even if one of the cashiers or customers is
slow, it won’t
hold up an entire line.
Go left
According to Robert Samuel, a US science writer,
around 90 percent
of people are right-handed, which means they tend
to go to the
right. So heading to the opposite direction
– left –will give you
a
better chance of finding a faster line.
If there are 6 people before you, and
they buy 72 items altogether, then you have
to
wait
about ________seconds.
A.
462
B.
318
C.
246
D. 216
22. What we
needn’t consider
before deciding which line to stand in?
A.
The number of people before
you.
B.
The quantity of the goods to check out before
you.
C.
What kind of people before
you.
D.
How many left-handed people before you.
23. We can learn from
the passage that________.
A. most people are used
to
choosing checkout counters on their right
B. we should always avoid lining up behind a
crowded cart
C. 7 cups of the same kind
need as much time as 7 different ones to be
checked
out
D. the cashiers and customers in
a “serpentine
line” are slow
B
"Selfie," taking a picture of yourself
to post on social media, became an official word in
the Oxford
dictionary in 2013. The idea seems simple, just
pose and snap a
photo of yourself with your cell phone camera. How
difficult could
that be?
But in 2014 a reported 15 people died
while taking selfies. That number has risen each
year since then.
Thirty-nine deaths connected to selfies were
reported in 2015. And,
this year has seen more than 70 such
deaths.
Researchers from universities in the
U.S. and India have released findings from the
first study of
deaths due to selfies. The investigators examined
the causes
and characteristics of
the
deaths.
The researchers found that people who
take selfies for sharing on social media often have
a
narcissistic tendency. The
report
says these people "use selfies as a form of
self-identification and
ex-pression." They
may take selfies in more dangerous settings because
they seek
greater attention.These dangerous situations can
lead to injury,
and even death. The researchers define a selfie
death as "death of
an individual or a group of people that could have
been avoided had
the individual(s) not been taking a
selfie."
One example of a dangerous selfie in
the study involved bicycle races. People sometimes
get on the track
to take a picture of themselves with the racing
bicycles behind
them. Crashes and injuries have resulted. Another
example described
people standing on train tracks trying to get a
selfie as a train
moves toward them from behind. The most common
cause of selfie
death was falling from high places. It caused 32 of
the 172 deaths
during the last two and one-half years. Drowning
was another common
cause of death.
And it might be more dangerous to be a
man with a smartphone. Although women take more
selfies, males were
far more likely to die during selfies. 75.5% of the
reported deaths
were of men. About one-third of the 172 reported
selfie deaths had
a single death
while 24 incidents
involved the deaths of groups. Two of the incidents
killed seven
people each.
24. What’s
the
passage mainly about?
A. selfie
deaths on the rise
B. the danger of
taking
selfies
C. what a selfie death
is
D. the causes of selfie
deaths
25. What does the
underlined phrase in
Paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A. A physical state.
B. A psychological
state .
C. A
difficulty.
D.A camera.
26. Which of the
following is an example of selfie deaths?
A. A man addicted to taking
selfies
died.
B. A taxi-driver died with one of
his passengers
taking selfies.
C. A man fell off the cliff while
taking a selfie
and died .
D. An old lady died from heart
attack when taking
a selfie.
27. From the passage,
we can learn that________.
A. selfie deaths are always
single
deaths
B. women are more likely to die during
selfies
C. it is dangerous to participate
in bicycle
races
D.selfie deaths happened in various ways

I worked lots of extra hours my first
Christmas season as a saleslady for
Dancer’s, the department store
in my small hometown. I’d started
the job, which paid 85 cents an
hour, that summer of 1966 after getting a work
permit at age 15. I
soon learned how to fit shoes, measure and cut
cloth, and keep the
shelves of shirts and underwear nice and
neat.
We closed at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve,
and at 5:55 a local farmer came in to find gifts
for his wife. I
knew Mr. Johnson, whose daughter was in my class,
so I went to help
him. We wandered through the sweaters, dresses and
skirts, and
nightgowns(睡衣).
We talked about size and color and what I thought
Mrs. Johnson would like. After nearly an hour, Mr.
Johnson decided
on a nightgown with pretty pink slippers to
match.
By my third Christmas at
Dancer’s, I
was an experienced salesclerk. Mrs. Johnson had
come into the store
in late summer, and we visited while I helped her
shop. As she
commented on pretty colors and design, I made
mental notes. When
Mr. Johnson made his last-minute appearance on
Christmas Eve, I was
ready. I told him, “Mrs. Johnson
was in not too long ago, and I
noticed how much she liked this royal blue sweater.
She’d also told
me that she really needed new boots.
I’d found some perfect boots
in her size and had put them aside for Christmas
Eve. ” Mr. Johnson
was impressed, and I think more than a little
relieved. We
completed the sale by 6:10 with everything wrapped
in paper and
ribbons!
I worked for Dancer’s three
more
holiday seasons and was always there just before
closing on
Christmas Eve, when Mr. Johnson knew I had the
answers he needed.
Years later, I can well remember he once told me
that the big
stores in cities had more goods and lovely
Christmas fantasies in
their window but it’s only in a
small town that neighbors take care
of neighbors.
28. What do we know
about the author’s job in
Dancer’s ?
A.
She enjoyed her work in Dancer’s
.
B.
She worked long hours to get a good pay.
C.
It took her a long time to know what she should
do.
D.
She could also help some customer make
decisions.
29.What did the author do before Mr.
Johnson’s appearance on her third
Christmas
in
Dancer’s?
A. She talked with his daughter.
B. She kept his wife’s need and
taste in
mind.
C. She kept an eye on his wife for quite a long
time.
D. She looked into the sales record of the
store.
30. What can be
inferred from the passage?
A.The author worked for Dancer’s
for 5 years in all.
B.
Mr. Johnson doubted whether the author could help
him.
C.
Mr. Johnson valued the sincere relationship in
his
neighborhood.
D.
Mr. Johnson didn’t believe the
big stores in cities had what he
wanted.
31. What may be the
best title for the text?
A.
My Working Experience in
Dancer’s
B.
Mr. Johnson’s Christmas
gift
C.
Last-minute Appearance on Christmas Eve
D.
Christmas Gifts with neighbors’ consideration
D
A new
‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf has
got heatedly welcomed since lanched. A
new
‘paparazzi-proof’ scarf could
be a game-changer for
celebrities(名流)
who prefer to shy away from the stage light. The
ISHU scarf is the creation of Dutch-born fashion
entrepreneur Saif
Siddiqui and is designed to ‘give
people their right to privacy
back’. A host of celebrities
including Cameron Diaz, singer Joe
Jonas, Bayern Munich footballer Jerome Boateng and
music producer
Major Lazer have worn the ISHU after it was spotted
at London
Fashion Week last year.
It works by
reflecting the light back into a camera,
effectively becoming
‘invisibility
clothes’ for celebrities who
don’t want their photo
taken.Anyone wearing the scarf is protected from
mobile flash
photography, with the fashion
accessory’s fabric effectively
blocking out any unwanted pictures, although it
doesn’t stop
no-flash photographs from being taken.
The 28-year-old
Siddiqui was inspired while visiting family in
Amsterdam in 2009
when his friends attempted to take a photo of him
using an iPhone
in front of some bikes.“He
noticed that the bike’s reflector
carried the flash of his mobile camera in a way
that confused the
faces of his friends in the
picture,” the ISHU website explains.
“He immediately realized that if
developed into the right product,
this feature would be an ideal solution for his
friends and is now
available to the public who want to keep their
private moments in
public private. “Saif put
together a team of experts who dug into
the science of light and reflection, and how to
blend technology
with fashion.”
He told Decoded
Magazine: “The ISHU scarf
effectively allows an individual to
control what pictures and videos are taken of him.
“There are no
more unwanted pictures and videos on Snapchat,
Instagram, or
Facebook! Everyone carries a phone with them
nowadays that has an
amazing camera. So, it all made sense to
me.” More ISHU products
are set to launch in August, with mobile phone
cases set to launch
in the next few weeks. The ISHU is currently sold
out but you can
pre-order it online for
£289.
32. Why did Saif
design the
‘paparazzi-proof’
scarf?
A. To help protect
people’s privacy.
B. To make a rich
profit from the celebrities.
C. Because the scarf
is to get a heated welcome.
D. To dig into the
science of light and reflection.
33.
How did Saif get the creative idea of producing
scarves?
A. He was inspired
by the photographs of bike.
B. He was inspired
when his friends attempted to take a photo of
him.
C. He was inspired
when finding his friends’ picture
was not ideal.
D. He was inspired
while cycling with his family members.
34.
Which of the following statement might be
true?
A. The paparazzi-proof scarf can prevent any
unwanted pictures
being taken.
B. There might be fewer unwanted pictures and
videos on
internet.
C. ISHU will be only used to effectively control
pictures
taken.
D. Customers will mainly buy ISHU products
online.
35. Who might most
need the
‘paparazzi-proof’
scarf?
A.
reporter
B.
fans.
C.
photographers
D. singers

Make Your Brain Smarter
You know that eating a sensible diet and getting
plenty of
exercise help make your body healthy and strong.
But did you know
that there are ways to make your brain healthier
and smarter?
Studies show that when the brain is forced to do
something new, it
creates new neural
(神经的)pathways.___36___
● Limit your TV viewing
Watching an average TV show requires very little
brain power and
brings the same result as neglecting physical
exercise. ___37___ If
you watch TV, choose something educational
and
informative.
● Use your non-dominant
hand
If you are right-handed, use your left hand for
everyday
activities, or use your right hand if you are
left-handed.___38___
Brushing our teeth is something most of us do
daily. We really
don’t put that much thought into
it — but maybe we should. Experts
suggest that we can stimulate this right brain by
changing things
up and working with our non-dominant hand. So the
next time you
brush your teeth, open the tube, apply your
toothpaste and brush
with the opposite hand.
● Shower with your eyes
closed
Hop in the shower and shut your eyes. Even if you
drop the soap
— that’s okay.
Use your different senses. ___39___ Using your
fingers to make fine distinctions between objects
or textures can
rewire the brain areas involved in touch suggests
Larry Katz, a
professor of neurobiology at Duke University
Medical Center and
author. This has been true for brain-imaging
experiments with blind
Braille readers and monkeys trained to use their
fingers to get
food.
● ___40___
Can playing
“Chopsticks” on the piano make
your smarter? Well,
according to a study published in The Journal of
Neuroscience, it
can. Kids who received at least three years of
instrumental music
training outperformed children without training in
fine motor
skills, vocabulary and nonverbal reasoning skills.
Apparently,
people who are better able to move to a beat show
more consistent
brain responses to speech than those with less
rhythm. The study
findings suggest that musical training might
sharpen the brain’s
response to language — making you
a little smarter.
A Learn a new
language.
B Move to the beat of your own
drum.
C Your brain will become weak
just as your
muscles do.
D Walking for exercise requires
little time
and brings the same result as running.
E Doing familiar things in a new
way will
cause your brain to create new neural
networks.
F The more pathways you have, the
faster you
can think and the better memory you will
have.
G Searching for the soap or
shampooing while
feeling the textures with your eyes closed
works
your brain and
helps make
you smarter.

Dear Tom,
I’m glad to learn that you will
come to Huizhou University to
study Chinese for six months. You asked me to look
for a Chinese
host family for you in your last e-mail and I have
found one, which
I think should meet all your
requirements.
The family’s flat, located in the
center of the city, is a
little far away from the university where you will
learn Chinese.
But it is within easy reach of the bus station, so
you don’t have
to bother about the transport. The host family is
made up of four:
a married couple and their two sons. The host and
the hostess are
considerate and friendly, and their elder son is
about your age. As
for the monthly rent, it is about 1000 yuan, which
ensures you a
family type of living at a low cost. As the family
requests, you
are supposed to do some housework, such as mopping
the floor, and
doing the dishes. You won’t find
a better choice than
this.
I’m looking
forward to your
arrival!
Yours ,
Li Hua
