　　C

　　A woman heads into a popular New York City coffee shop on a cold winter morning. Just ahead of her, a man drops a few papers. The woman pauses to help gather them. A clerk at a busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something. "Enjoy", the young woman says, smiling widely. "Have a nice day." She sounds like she really means it. These are the common situations we may see every day.

　　However, in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand, Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying "Excuse me" almost no longer exist. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her. According to one recent study, 70 percent of the U.S. adults (成人)said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago.

　　Is it really true? We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see. In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world. They performed three experiments: "door tests" (would anyone hold the door open for them?); "paper drops" (who would help them gather a pile of "accidentally" dropped papers?); and "service tests" (which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase 购物)

　　In New York, 60 tests (20 of each type)were done. Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions (职业), and income levels. And guess what? In the end, four out of every five: people they met passed their politeness test, making New York the most polite city in the study.

　　44, What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?

　　A. People are not as polite as they used to.

　　B. "Excuse me" is not welcome nowadays.

　　C. Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude.

　　D. People don't care about manners any more.

　　45. What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage?

　　A. The study was reported in many cities of the world.

　　B. New York was the most suitable city for the experiment.

　　C. Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other.

　　D. Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist.

　　46. What is found in the study?

　　A. More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities.

　　B. Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests.

　　C. Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.

　　D. Many people in the experiment passed the tests by guessing.

　　D

　　This is not a diet (减肥食谱) or a hard exercise program. Nobody can stick to those for long. Instead, it's a simple way to make weight loss — a natural part of the life you already live. And guess what? It's fun! You don't have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises. It's about balancing calories(平衡卡路里) in tiny ways that add up to big benefits (好处). You just use some tricks the "naturally thin" people do. Pick the ones you like, stick with them, and you'll lose weight and be strong!

　　Talk it UP! Every time you pick up the phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and half hours more every day than thin people, according to a study.

　　Get face time! We use e-mail so much that we've forgotten what our colleagues look like. Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you: and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person. And go out of your way: go to a bathroom or a copy machine on another floor and take the stairs, of course.

　　Think about your drink! Consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink. A glass of regular beer has 140 calories and a serving of wine has 126 calories, while a strawberry daiquiri has about 300 and a margarita 340.

　　Reduce a total of 100 calories each day and you'll be able to lose about 10 pounds in a year. This is really not difficult to do.

　　47. What is mainly talked about in the passage?

　　A. How to do exercises daily.

　　A. Thin people sit fewer hours daily than heavy people.

　　B. People deliver messages to their colleagues in person.

　　C. More people walk around when they talk on the phone.

　　D. Heavy people make longer phone calls than thin people,

　　49. What does the writer mean by “face time” in Paragraph 37

　　A. Time for getting to know each other. B. Time for sharing ideas face to face.

　　C, Time for doing small jobs. D. Time for sharing ideas by email.

　　50. Which of the following probably has the most calories?

　　A. Strawberry daiquiri. B. Regular beer.

　　C. Margarita: D. Wine.
