【題目】(Teresa Lopez, from Cali, Colombia)

Where I’m from, we're pretty relaxed(1) _______time. We don't like to rush around. So we don't mind if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend you're going to their house for dinner, its OK if you arrive a bit late. We like to enjoy our time slowly. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop by our friend’s homes if we have time. We don't usually have to make plans to meet our friends .When we see each other, it's polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!

(Marc LeBlanc, from Lausanne, Switzerland)

In Switzerland, it's very important to be on time. We are the capital of clocks and watches,

after all! If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you're expected to be there at noon. If you're even 15 minutes late,(3)你的朋友可能會發(fā)瘋，So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it's impolite to keep others(2)_________.Also, we never visit a friend's house without calling first We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do some interesting things, or go somewhere together.

【5】In which country is it OK to be 15 minutes late for dinner?

【答案】

【2】are free

【3】your friend may get/be/become mad/angry/crazy./

your friend could get/be/become mad/angry/crazy./

your friend might get/be/become mad/angry/crazy./

maybe your friend will be/get/become mad/angry /crazy.

【4】everydaycenter/centre

【5】Colombia./It is OK to be 15 minutes late for dinner in Colombia

【解析】文章是兩位分別來自哥倫比亞、瑞士的少年講述自己國家關(guān)于約會是否守時的習(xí)俗。

【1】Where I’m from, we're pretty relaxed(1) _______time我來自的地方對于時間是非常放松的。About是介詞，關(guān)于，對于；I think it's impolite to keep others(2)_________.我認(rèn)為讓別人等是不禮貌的。Keep sb doing sth使某人做某事，讓某人做某事；根據(jù)句意答案應(yīng)為 (1). about (2). waiting

【2】We often just drop by our friends' homes if we have time意思是：如果我們有時間，我們只是順便拜訪朋友家。have time有時間，有空，同義短語是be free,所以答案是(1). are (2). free

【3】表示可能的情態(tài)動詞有may,could,might,還有副詞maybe；表示發(fā)瘋的短語有：get/be/become mad/angry/crazy故答案為：your friend may get/be/become mad/angry/crazy./

your friend could get/be/become mad/angry/crazy./

your friend might get/be/become mad/angry/crazy./

maybe your friend will be/get/become mad/angry /crazy.

【4】daily形容詞，每日的，日常的;同義詞是句子We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives.中的everyday；central是形容詞，其名詞形式是第一段最后一句We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!中的center

【5】根據(jù)第一段第三句If you tell a friend you're going to their house for dinner, it's OK if you arrive a bit late.知答案是Colombia./It is OK to be 15 minutes late for dinner in Colombia

【題目】They tell us when to get up or when we’re running late for work and whether we are in danger of missing our favourite TV programme. But while our daily activities depend on clocks that tell us the time science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. Circadian rhythms---the human body’s own internal(體內(nèi)的) clock—have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour. They are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns.

In recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism (內(nèi)在機(jī)制) can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music.

The latest example, from experts at Harvard University in the US, shows that the human body clock can even influence whether or not we are likely to tell the truth. Researchers found it was easier for people to tell lies in the afternoon because as they were tired, the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down. Tiredness made it easier for them to tell lies ---especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end.

“The body clock has a great effect on us all,” says Professor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University. “Most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. But the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. That’s because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. One reason may be to ensure we get home safely. When our ancestors (祖先) were coming home after hunting all day, their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece.”

So what effects do circadian rhythms have and what’s the best time of day to take advantage of them?

【1】The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to_____ .

A. our health and behaviour B. scientists and experts

C. our daily routines D. circadian rhythms

【2】The research referred to in Paragraph 3 found that people would rather ______ .

A. tell lies when they are tired B. tell lies if they are rewarded

C. get angry as they become tired D. break down because they are tired

【3】According to the passage, when are people most quick-thinking?

A. In the morning. B. Around midday.

C. In the late afternoon. D. In the early evening.

【4】What information will the writer probably give following the last paragraph?

A. An explanation of how the human body clock controls the body.

B. Examples of how the human body clocks control the body.

C. Examples of the most suitable time to do different activities.

D. Some practical suggestions to prevent people from lying.
