26、A group of people from Denmark have formed the B-Society. According to them, human beings are divided into types: A-People, and B-People. A-People have no problem getting up in the morning, and operate much better earlier in the day. However, B-people are better later in the day. “I’m useless early in the morning,” says one of the members of the B-Society.”All I can do is drink coffee, and stare into space. People used to get up early because they had to feed the animals. But I haven’t got any cows or chickens, so I can sleep late,” She adds. Since the society was set up, the B-Society has welcomed several thousand members.

Right now, the B-Society is fighting hard for businesses to join its B-certification (证明) list. Companies that are “B-certified” basically give their employees the opportunity to come in when they want. In some companies, employees arrive at any time up to 3:30 pm --- each to their own rhythm (节奏).

And it is not just businesses that are benefiting from this. Teenagers who can’t get out of bed in the morning, and parents who never quite get the kids to school on time, can now benefit from B-classes. From next year, a school in Copenhagen will offer classes which start later in the day (at 10 instead of eight). And even the government seems to like the idea.

The B-Society was founded by Camilla Kring, a professor from the University of Copenhagen. On her website, she says, “When B-people’s work rhythms are considered at the work place, their productivity (生产力) and quality of life is increased, which can increase productivity for the entire organization.”

She adds that, “B-Society will create a new daily rhythm in schools and other institutions (机构) as an alternative to the current rhythm of ‘early at work and early at home’. We are working for the establishment of kindergartens, primary and secondary schools as well as universities that open between 10 am and 8 pm.”

Would you like to work for a B-certified company?

【2】 In B-certified companies, employees can ____.

【3】In Camilla Kring’s opinion, B-people _______.

A. are more hard-working than A-people

B. have a better quality of life than A-people

C. are more productive if given more freedom

D. like the rhythm of “early at work, early at home”

【4】The author’s purpose in writing this text is to _____.

A. stress the importance of getting up early

B. express his attitude towards the B-Society

C. introduce a group having a special daily rhythm

D. call on people to work for B-certified companies

27、A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".

The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt severely. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I was starving!

As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. Actually, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

A．quit

【2】The author referred to his experience in the 7th year to ______.

A．treasure his precious old days

C．defend himself from prejudice

D．convey his gratitude to the teacher

【3】What happened to the author eventually during his first marathon?

A．He succeeded for a strong will.

B．He quit running halfway.

C．He was awarded the first prize.

D．He walked to the end.

【4】What did the author feel by mile 23?

A．He passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"

B．He became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt severely

C．He was starving!

D．He was encouraged by his wife.

【5】What does the story mainly tell us?

A．One is never too old to learn.

B．Failure is the mother of success.

C．Family support is the fountain of success.

D．Success can be acquired with a great effort of will.

28、   I order most of my foods and other things online and the store delivers them for a very small fee. The fee is much less than what I used to spend traveling to a store and home and trying to get everything I bought up to my apartment. Most importantly, the goods are cheaper.

For the past couple of months, my receipt(收据) has included another receipt. That receipt can give some money off the price of gas at a local gas station. That is to say, with the receipt, you can pay less when you fill your car up with gas. Through this past weekend, I have collected 12 of these receipts. Each receipt can help to save 6 cents or 7 cents each liter if you buy up to 75 liters. This is pretty sweet.

I don’t have a car. So today I took all the receipts to my company and gave them to my co-workers. It was fun. We ended up talking about the kinds of cars they had and how much this could save them on a full-up. They even told me they could give me a ride to some place if I needed one.

I felt relieved that I was able to give them all away. The deadline on them is at the end of next month and I wanted to make sure they would all be used.

There are 13 happy people from this exchange – the 12 I gave receipts to, and me.

【1】What does the author think of shopping online?

A.It saves much money. B.It wastes too much effort.

C.It will replace shopping in stores. D.It is very popular with young people.

【2】What did the author receive besides the ordered goods?

A.Free gas. B.One receipt.

C.Two receipts. D.Some money.

【3】After receiving the receipt, the co-workers __________.

A.lent their cars to the author B.gave the author some money

C.offered to give the author lifts D.showed their cars to the author

【4】How did the author feel after giving away receipts?

A.Proud. B.Regretful.

C.Worried. D.Pleased.

29、The British----and especially the English----are bad at complaining. Because of British politeness rules, according to which conflict should be avoided, people either just do not complain, or sometimes bottle it up and then outpour it in another way in other umimportant situations. In fact, there is a TV programme which show the British in typical situations where they would be perfectly reasonable in complaining, but they don’t. In one scene, a woman reads a newspaper over people’s shoulders and the people say nothing or look embarrassed.

The British are also well-known for putting up with bad service everywhere from restaurants to airports and railway stations because the standard rules of behaviour say that it is bad to draw attention to yourself. This is why, when you travel on the tube in London and there is yet another delay, the passengers will look at each other, sigh, smile wearily and raise their eyes to heaven. They might even say, “Huh! Typical!” in a resigned(顺从的)tone of voice that says that there’s nothing that can be done about it. When complaints are made, they are made in an apologetic or a humorous tone of voice. In France ,on the other hand, angry passengers might riot(闹事)and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London underground provides.

Americans and other Europeans, who are much more direct and in-your-face than the British, often wonder why British people always say “sorry” or “excuse me” when they complain. “It’s like they’re apologizing for something that isn’t their fault, they say. They are missing the point. British people are not really sorry ---it is because the word ‘sorry’ actually works as a distancing skill. This is important in terms of negative politeness and not drawing attention to yourself. If you do not say ‘sorry’ or use other distancing words like ‘could’, ‘would’, ‘might’, ‘possibly’ and so on, you will be seen as rude.”

【1】What does the underlined part “bottle it up” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Put something into bottles   B. Not do anything dangerous

C. Cause problems by hesitating   D. Not allow emotions to be seen

【2】The French tend to _______.

A. tolerate bad service   B. enjoy taking the subway

C. make a complaint humorously   D. express their dissatisfaction directly

【3】When the British say “sorry”, they actually want to _______.

A. try not to be rude   B. apologize sincerely

C. show their feelings directly   D. draw attention to themselves

【4】Which can be the best title for the text?

A. How to complain   B. Complaining politely

C. Poor service in Britain   D. Politeness rules across the world

30、Today was another enlightening day at my new American school. Back in China, lunchtime is a____hour. We eat, talk, and most importantly, take a short nap (小睡) to____for the afternoon. This relaxing routine of our midday break allowed for a____escape from the day’s demands. But here? It’s like a ____against the clock.

The bell rang, and everyone____to the cafeteria. I followed, naively (天真地) thinking I’d have____time to eat and perhaps even close my eyes for a moment. However, I barely had time to finish my sandwich before the next bell hit. Where did the time go?

And the nap? Forget about it. There’s no____for that comfort here. In China, we have these cozy mats in the classroom for our post-lunch rest. But in America, the ____of napping in school seems as____to them as the absence of a nap is to me.

At first, I felt quite sleepy in the afternoon classes. I ____that brief break we get in China.

But then I noticed something. Even without the nap, my classmates were hardly tired. Perhaps they’re used to this fast schedule, or maybe they____on pure youthful energy. Who knows?

I’m beginning to_____that life here is simply faster. People eat_____, converse rapidly, and shift swiftly. It’s a(n) ____   with the life style back in China, but perhaps it’s not harmful, just another____of life.
