　　Finding_your_dream_job_may_be_as_simple_as_opening_that_bag_of_potato_chips_in_your_kitchen_cupboard. A study conducted by Alan Hirsch，neurological director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation，Chicago，found that job satisfaction is correlated to your favorite snack. “A person’s job selection reflects his essential essence and his personality，”he maintains. “Food choices — like selections of clothing，movies，and spouses — can provide insight in personality and character structure. Thus，the typical personality traits associated with snack preferences can be used to help predict occupational choices，because a person’s job selection also reflects his essential essence and his personality.”

　　People who choose potato chips to satisfy their snacking urges have high expectations not only for themselves，but for those around them. Competitive. They usually come out on top in business，sports，and social situations.

　　Self­assured and confident，those who prefer popcorn are best described as take­charge sort of people. They will not hesitate to assume extra work on the job or take on chores at social gatherings. Even though they are self­confident，popcorn lovers are modest and humble，and would never be considered showoffs.Popcorn buffs are hidden successes.(Teacher，artist，truck driver，nurse，judge，neurosurgeon)

　　*************************************************结束

　　Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.

　　At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.

　　I started wondering why 1 refused to run the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman wound, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it..

　　Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I

　　stopped because it's part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.

　　Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.

　　I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

　　63. Why did the author get impatient while driving?

　　A. He was lonely on the road.

　　B. He was slowed down by a truck.

　　C. He got tired of driving too long.

　　D. He came across too many traffic lights.

　　64. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?

　　A. Stopping still.

　　B. Driving through让

　　C. Looking around for other cars.

　　D. Checking out for traffic police.

　　65. The event made the author strongly believe that

　　.

　　A. traffic rules may be unnecessary

　　B. doubting others is human nature

　　C. patience is important to drivers

　　D. a society needs mutual trust

　　66. Why was the author proud of himself?

　　A He kept his promise.

　　B. He held back his anger.

　　C. He followed his inclination.

　　D. He made a right decision.

　　When my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days.

　　It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.

　　The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.

　　Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.

　　On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?

　　I’m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.

　　A. displayed

　　B. justified

　　C. ignored

　　D. ruined

　　58. Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of?

　　A. Airplane.

　　B. Subway.

　　C. Tram.

　　D. Car.

　　【语篇大意】作者描述自己从小妈妈培养自己的生活意识学会独立乘坐交通工具的生活经验以及对这些交通的看法。

　　55. B 细节理解题。四个选项是在乘坐交通工具日要不要做的事情，从第二段You can’t take any means of transportation more than once.可知乘坐这些交通工具一天不能超过两次，故答案为B项。

　　56. A推理判断解题。四个选项均为乘坐交通工具日所带来的好处，从作者的角度在孩提时期能顺利自己出门然后归来能学会生活、增强自信，故答案为A项。

　　57. D词义推测题。小时候学会这些是一件很好的独立意识培养，长大后妈妈给作者揭秘，但在小时候这样做会毁坏作者的独立意识，故答案为D项。

　　58. A细节理解题。在最后一段作者提到we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all.这是乘坐飞机时的感觉，故答案为A项。
