“Where would we be right now if I did not have the restaurant? How else would I be able to provide for our family? Who give me, a man without 36 ,a job?” My father 37 say these things on our car rides to the stores that supply our 38.
He would tell me stories of long, hard hours spent 39 in the hot kitchen and helping all the 40. Now I 41 late on weekends to welcome him, 42 that he will tell me something 43 .He always knows how to inspire me. I could never understand 44 he grew to be so wise without even having the opportunity to complete high school.
“Make sure you get a job 45 you have to wear a tie!” he’d always say with a smile. They were like a paintbrush(畫(huà)筆) that began 46 this beautiful picture in my head that I have entitled(有資格的)my 47 in life.
My father has worked day in and day out,with few days off, for 20 years, never 48 .He would explain how this is 49 he had to do to make my 50 better. My father worked hard so that I 51 go to the best schools. He worked to supply me with 52 that would provide a job where I had to wear a tie.
My father is a 53 in which I can only hope to catch a reflection(反省)of myself. He is the one I strive to model myself after. 54 , when I make a great name for myself as a doctor, someone will ask, “Where did you get such a great work ethic (道德) ?”
“My father!” I’ ll say, adjusting(調(diào)整) my 55 and I’ ll smile.

Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behaviour when they are watched. Do you?
A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity donation, collection box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.
Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behaviour. Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow coded into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realizing it.
It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler. When no other fish are around, however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish it is supposed to be cleaning.
The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to make them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it was a picture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption 'I Want You' It encouraged hundreds of thousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese.
According to the report, why does a person behave better when he feels he is being watched?
A. He does not want to be shamed by others.
B. He needs to show he is a good person.
C. He desires others to like him more.
D. He feels he will receive some social reward.
What is the text mainly about?
A. It describes changed behaviour when observed.
B. It details ways to control people's behaviour.
C. It tells how to make people work harder.
D. It discusses different advertising methods.
Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?

The worst earthquake in 40 years shook South Asia on Sunday, starting with horrible waves that swept entire villages into the sea. At least 20,000 people in six countries were killed in the disaster, and millions were left homeless.
The quake shook deep beneath the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It was felt more than 3000 miles away in East Africa, where heavy tides kept fishermen at home and resorts(度假勝地)closed.
It was as if the sea had struck the land. Residents of Sri Lanka, a small island country off the coast of India, ran to the hills to find safety from the tsunami. Many took their radios, televisions, and other valuables with them. The disaster hit Sri Lanka hardest. Of its 20million people, 1 million lost their homes, and 10000 died.
“The water simply raised itself up and huge waves came ashore,” wrote eye-witness(目擊者)Peter Thomas from India. “It was moving very fast. The force broke the glass walls of a restaurant on the beach here and damaged hundreds of boats.”
In some places, the tsunami struck with no warning. “The weather was fine with no clouds,” wrote an eye-witness in Indonesia. “Suddenly the seawater just hit the city. In some parts the water was up to chest level.”
A massive(大眾的)effort to help the affected countries is already underway. Leaders from around the world have promised to help, and teams of aid workers and doctors are rushing to the sea. “The United States stands ready to offer all the help to those nations most affected.” Said White House spokesman Trent Duffy. Organizations from the Red Cross to the International Monetary Fund have started fund-raising(籌款)drives to make up the costs of rebuilding.
【小題1】 The underlined word “tsunami” in Paragraph 5 can probably be replaced by “__________.”
A.fierce wind | B.heavy rain | C.terrible storm | D.large waves |
A.A sudden storm started with thunder and lightning. |
B.The seawater rose suddenly and flooded the land. |
C.Huge waves came upon the land, damaging the buildings and boats. |
D.The sea struck the land, causing heavy losses. |
A.lack of help | B.international efforts |
C.the fighting against the disaster | D.the result of disasters |
A.Tens of Thousands of People Are in Danger |
B.Storm Caused Disasters in South Asia |
C.Terrible Quake Hits South Asia |
D.International Aid for South Asia |
A.In a textbook. | B.In a newspaper. |
C.In a travel guide. | D.In a dictionary. |

When movie star Scarlett Johansson was photographed naming in Los Angeles recently, she attracted a lot of attention; for the 27-year-old actress was wearing Vibram FiveFingers, so called because they look more like gloves than shoes, with a space for each toe.
Strange though they may look, these so-called barefoot shoes, which reproduce the effect of barefoot running but with less pain, are just one brand in a range of minimalist footwear. These super-thin sports shoes are causing a stir in the world of running and fitness. Why? Because some experts believe they could make you a better, more efficient runner and that traditional trainers could be doing you more harm than good.
"Wearing a shoe that has lots of cushioning and support affects the way your body naturally moves and studies suggest that this carries a higher risk of injury," explains Matt Wallden, an athlete performance expert. "But with barefoot shoes, the foot can actually feel the firmness and shape of the ground, which allows your body to respond effectively.'"
But before you rush out to invest in minimalist footwear, be careful. These kinds of shoes are not meant for everyone, or at least not straight away.
"Ordinary sports shoes with support are good for beginners whose bodies are not used to the impact of running," explains Patrick Davoren, former Olympic athlete. "If you are not in great condition, then running in minimalist footwear may cause injuries and will turn a lot of people off exercise and running.
If you are currently injured, and figures show that in any given year 65% of all runners are, it can be tempting to try anything that promises to get you back on the road, trail, or beach. But barefoot running is not a method of treating injury nor is it a magical way of suddenly turning you into a great athlete.
Even if you're used to running, when you start using minimalist shoes you should build up your distance gradually. Start_off'by doing just 10% of what you'd normally run and increase the distance by no more than 10% every week. And a word of warning - you may never have soft feet again
1.The Vibram FiveFingers are shoes ______.
A.specifically designed for women
B.that have lots of cushion inside
C.safest for people who enjoy sports
D.that are much thinner than normal sports shoes
2.The underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A.experts B.feet C.shoes D.runners
3.According to Matt Wallden, the new shoes ________.
A.make feet more sensitive to the running surface
B.will produce immediate improvements
C.force your body to move less naturally
D.increase the chances of getting hurt
4.The author suggests that new users of Vibram FiveFingers should ________.
A.run in the shoes every day at top speed
B.begin with a shorter running distance than normal
C.occasionally run barefooted to harden their feet
D.make sure they are already very fit before using them
5.Where would you probably read this article?
A.A travel book. B.A movie website.
C.A sports magazine. D.A science journal.
