Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez, chief of American Girl Scouts, are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word “bossy”. Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?

The campaign claims that terms like “bossy” are improperly applied to females, preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future “leaders”. From its first application, the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men. It first appeared in 1882, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, mentioning “a lady manager who was extremely bossy”. As late as 2008, the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males, claim the Ban Bossy campaigners. “To me, the reference is always in association with women,” says Helen Trim, director of Fresh Minds. “I have three brothers and my family still call me ‘bossy’ today.” Her father is the only other family member who could be considered in that way, says Trim, but nobody would ever call him so.

Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed, rather than banned. “But the thing with ‘bossy’ is that there’s an infantile(幼稚的) element to it” , says Sara Mills, professor at Sheffield University. “You think of ‘bossy’ as being like a little kid who’s claiming more than he has the right to claim.”

It's not just “bossy” under fire. “Pushy” is another target. The implication is that women shouldn’t present themselves as powerful and confident, Mills suggests, which some women are willing to listen to and accept. Trim points out that many modern female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled “bossy”. And she rarely, if ever, hears the word used within her company. But she says that the damage may be done much earlier in a woman's life. “It does come about from those early teenage years.” she says. “I think it’s impossible to ban a word, but if people are replacing it with words like ‘confidence’ or ‘assertiveness’, we would all be in a much better place.”

24. More evidence is provided to show “bossy” is more applied to females by _________.

A. the Oxford English Dictionary B. the Ban Bossy campaigners C. Helen Trim at Fresh Minds D. some experts in education

25. Trim's family still consider her bossy because ______.

A. she is expected to lead in her family B. she is the boss of her company C. she is a powerful and confident female D. her father considers her that way 26. The underlined part “under fire” most probably means _________. A. definitely replaced B. strongly criticized C. improperly applied D. eagerly expected

27. How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against “bossy”? A. Objective. B. Angry. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic. C

Increasing numbers of airports, especially in Europe, are promoting a “silent airport” idea. It is to reduce noise pollution, such as airport-wide announcements, without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.

International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on. This is all changing. Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to create a calm, relaxed atmosphere without being disturbed by announcements. “Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges(休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.

In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland—a country where the tourism slogan(口号) is “silence, please”—became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept. As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.

Lost track of time in the shops? Too bad.

Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals will be made only in exceptional（尤其） emergency circumstances.

Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display system and interactive kiosks(交互式自助服务机), together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicate with passengers. At Munich airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler’s language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger. Passengers can tap a “you are here” display to get directions and approximate walking time to their destinations.

Of course, an airport will never be as silent as a temple. There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements along with boarding calls. But at silent airports, the latter can be restricted to specific gates, as has adopted in Helsinki. 28. What is Angela Gittens’ opinion on the silent airport concept?

A. It makes airport noise-free.

B. It is intended for passengers’ benefit.

C. It has changed international airports’ reputation. D. It has encouraged the catering industry in airports.

29. What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport?

A. Their boarding time. B. Finland’s tourism slogan. C. The shop’s opening hours. D. The “you are here” display. 30. Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the text? A. To show its popularity. B. To introduce Infogate kiosks.

C. To prove Heikki Koski’s words. D. To be compared with Helsinki Airport. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Silence, please. This is an airport. B. Can airports be as quiet as temples? C. Silent airports all around the world. D. Technology helps airports become interactive.

A new study says that regular fish consumption has been shown to improve cognition (认知) and help people fall asleep. Fish is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids--a kind of fat that caries numerous health benefits. “Neurons(神经元)need omega-3 fatty acids for proper cell membrane(膜)structure and function,” explains Don Vaughn, MD, a neuroscientist at UCLA, of the importance of a fish-inclusive diet. “It then comes as no surprise that the dietary insufficiency of omega-3 fatty acids leads to poor cognition.”

While previous studies showed a relationship between omega-3 consumption and improved intelligence, none established a link among improved sleep, intelligence, and fish consumption. The new study covered 541 children in China, almost evenly split between boys and girls. The researchers tracked, fish consumption along with the kids’ performance on both verbal(口头的)and non-verbal skill tests such as vocabulary and coding. Parents helped record how well the kids slept. After all the data was collected and analyzed, the researchers found that children who were reported eating fish at least weekly slept sounder and scored 4.8 points higher on their IQ exams than those who were reported eating fish “seldom” or “never”.

Previous studies showed a relationship between omega-3s, the fatty acids in many types of fish, and improved intelligence, as well as omega-3s and better sleep. But the new findings revealed sleep as a possible medium pathway, the potential missing link between fish and intelligence.

“Sleep is essential to brain health and function. The brain strengthens important memories, forgets useless information, and continues practicing skills learned during

the day,” says Dr.Vaughn. “Good sleep underlies high performance in memory and problem solving.”

The researchers on the team also noted that poor sleep is often accompanied by antisocial behavior, poor cognition, and a variety of other problems, all of which could be lessened by increasing the amount of fish or omega-3 fatty acids in their diet. 32.What do we know about omega-3 fatty acids from Paragraph l?

A. Their main source is fish. B. They lead to poor cognition.

C. They work positively on neurons. D. Their health benefits remain a mystery. 33. Compared with the previous ones, the new study first_________. A. built a link between omega-3s and sleep

B. showed a relationship between omega-3s and health C. connected omega-3 consumption and improved intelligence

D. combined fish consumption, improved sleep and intelligence together 34.The author writes Paragraph 4 to show_________. A. how the brain chooses useful information B. why sleep is important to our mental health C. why sleep has a positive effect on intelligence D. how the brain strengthens important memories 35.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Omega-3s can help improve sleep quality. B. Omega-3s are found to be beneficial to health. C. Consuming fish can benefit sleep and increase IQ. D. Consuming fish can give us a positive attitude to life.

Shopping therapy (疗法) is the practice of using the shopping experience to help overcome depression (沮丧) or other emotional problems. 36 Some experts think it happens as a result of deep- seeded human needs.

Many people benefit from shopping therapy. One of the most obvious things is the enjoyment people get from the items they buy. 37 When people shop, they often buy things they really care about on some level. For example, when people come home with a new shirt or a new computer, they assume that the item is going to improve their lives in some way. This can help reduce many feelings of unhappiness. 38 Some experts think humans are linked with the need to constantly achieve and fight for improvement. People make a decision to buy something, and then actually follow through this plan. This is one way people can take action to directly change their own lives.

People who don't actually have any money to buy things still benefit from shopping therapy. For them, simply browsing (浏览) can be a nice experience. 39

The simple act of leaving home and spending time around other humans is another possible reason for the effectiveness of shopping therapy. 40 Many people even use shopping as a specific social activity by bringing people they care about along with them and turning the process into a pleasant activity. A. So shop until you start feeling better.

B. That’ s because it helps them form future shopping plans. C. Many people shop for this reason without even realizing it. D. Other people have the feeling of achievement after shopping.

E. Many people have gone into debt due to shopping therapy addiction. F. There is sometimes a sense of community in the shopping experience.

G. Most people find joy in buying new things, no matter how small they may be.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am one of your customers. Recently, I ordered a silk scarf for my mum as a birthday gift . To my disappointment, there are the following problems.

To begin with, it didn’t arrive on schedule, which missed my mum’s birthday and let me down. Besides, it is of the wrong color, which should be blue instead of red. Sadly, my mum hates red the most! What bothers me the most is the quality of the scarf. It is not made of genuine silk and even gives off a bad smell, making the whole thing absolutely unacceptable!

I am not satisfied to have received such poor service, hoping that you can return my money or deliver a new one to me .I’d appreciate it if you can take it into consideration.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours

Lihua
