　　A．

　　A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may go to choose a husband from many men.

　　The store is comprised of 6 floors and the men increase in positive attributes（品质，特点）as the shopper goes up the flights. There is, however, a catch（陷阱）. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.

　　So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1—These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, “Well, that’s better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what’s further up?”

　　So up she goes. The second floor sign reads: Floor 2—These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, “That’s great, but I wonder what’s further up?”

　　And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3—These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good-looking. “Hmm, better.”

　　The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4—These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good-looking and help with the housework. “Wow!” exclaims the woman, “Very tempting. But, there must be more, further up!”

　　And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5—These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good-looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic character. “Oh, mercy me! But just think…what must be awaiting me further on?”

　　So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 –You are visitor 3, 456, 789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day.

　　The majority of Indian women wear a red dot (圆点) between their eyebrows. While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital (婚姻的) status, the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion. The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects, and “bindi” is the one that is most commonly known. Traditionally, the dot carries no gender restriction: Men as well as women wear it. However, the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times, so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one.

　　The position of the bindi is standard: center of the forehead, close to the eyebrows. It represents a third, or inner eye. Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes: The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world, and the third one is there to focus inward toward God. As such, the dot serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer’s thoughts.

　　Red is the traditional color of the dot. It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife’s eyes to seal their marriage. According to Hindu beliefs, the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple. Today, people go with different colors depending upon their preferences. Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes. Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes, colors and variations, and can be worn by young and old, married and unmarried people alike. Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom.

　　24. Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead?

　　A. To indicate their social rank.

　　B. To show their financial status.

　　C. To show their religious belief.

　　D. To highlight their family background.

　　25. What is the importance of the third eye in Hindu tradition?

　　A. To pay respect to God.

　　B. To stay in harmony with nature.

　　C. To see things with a subjective view.

　　D. To observe the outside world more clearly.

　　26. Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi?

　　A. The red dot represented the blood of God.

　　B. Red stood for a wife’s love for her husband.

　　C. The word “bindi” means “red” in some Hindi dialects.

　　D. Red was supposed to bring good luck to a married couple.

　　27. Which of the following statements is true about the practice of wearing a bindi today?

　　A. Bindis are now used as a decorative item.

　　B. Bindis are worn anywhere on the face now.

　　C. Most Indian women do not like to wear bindis anymore.

　　D. Wearing a bindi has become more popular among Indian men.

　　Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.

　　People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.

　　The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.

　　I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money. 

　　What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.”  But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.

　　Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.”  To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.

　　32. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.

　　A. advantage

　　B. attraction

　　C. adaption

　　D. attempt

　　33. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.

　　A. attract people to buy their products

　　B. provide the latest information

　　C. improve people’s quality of life

　　D. deal with cultural diseases

　　34. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.

　　A. consider too much technology wonderful

　　B. have realized the harm of high-tech devices

　　C. can regain freedom without high-tech devices

　　D. may enjoy life better without overused technology

　　35. What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?

　　A. Neutral.

　　B. Skeptical.

　　C. Disapproving.

　　D. Sympathetic.

　　Sometimes they try to get out of a class to escape a teacher they don’t like. Here is some advice to solve this problem.

　　Ask yourself, “What can I learn from this teacher?” Even if you don’t worship his or her personality or lectures, dig deep until you find a subject in which he or she is very knowledgeable. Focus on that part of the teacher’s personality, and use him or her as a tool for learning. Not only will you gain more knowledge in that subject, but a closer relationship with your teacher may help you understand one another better.

　　37

　　Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips, tools, and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better.

　　38

　　If you still can’t get along, make an appointment with the school guidance counselor (辅导员). He or she will offer many tips and suggestions for you to get out of difficult teacher relationships.

　　39

　　That means they can help you and your teachers get rid of the bad impression on each other.

　　40

　　Your parents can meet with your teacher and try to work it out.

　　Teachers are there for more than just homework, and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner.

　　Undoubtedly, these will be a few teachers along the way who you will always remember and who might change your life forever.

　　Sometimes a guidance counselor can act as a mediator between you and the teacher.

　　If you’re too shy to talk to another student, study his or her actions and behavior in the classroom and try to follow that lead.

　　Guidance counselors have the right to blame teachers.

　　There must be something good in every teacher for you to learn from.

　　Students find it easy to get along well with their teachers.

　　If your relationship problems can’t be solved in school, then it’s time to tell your parents or guardians.

　　Students don’t always get along well with their teachers.

　　书面表达 One possible version：Looking back to the National English Speaking Competition I took several days ago, I have a lot to share with you.

　　For a start, I feel really delighted that I’ve won the first prize in the competition, which makes me understand the true meaning of the proverb “no pains, no gains”. Furthermore, in the five-day competition, I established a close friendship with students from all over our country, from whom I’ve learned a lot. More importantly, taking this competition has enabled me to overcome my fear of speaking in public, thus developing my self-confidence. Additionally, I owe many thanks to my tutor and the judges, without whose proper help, I couldn’t have done such an excellent job.

　　To sum up, I will always cherish this meaningful and memorable experience.
