12．Governments all over the world make public reports about the condition of their economies．Most countries，including the United States，have used a measure called the gross national product （國民生產(chǎn)總值）or GNP．It includes all goods and services produced by citizens of the country anywhere in the world．
Recently the American Commerce Department has started using a new method to measure production．It is known as the gross domestic product（國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值）or GDP．It counts only goods and services that have been produced within the nation's borders．Money earned by foreign companies operating in the United States is included in the GDP，but money earned by American companies operating in other countries is not．
Economic experts generally approve of the change．They say that the gross domestic product provides a truer measure of the economy．They also note that most other industrial countries use this method．Therefore it will be easier to study the economies of different countries．Some officials also hope the new system will help them make better economic policy decisions．It will provide them with a clearer understanding of economic activity in the U．S..The new measure is less likely to be affected by sudden changes in foreign oil prices or in the value of the American dollar in other countries．
Economic experts believe that the change from GNP to GDP will immediately reduce the value of American production by at least 40，000million dollars a year．But that is really a very small change in the American economy-less than 1%．The Commerce Department reports the unofficial gross domestic product once every three months．The government also continues to report GNP as it has four times a year since 1941．

36．To report the American GNP，the government should not consider goods and services producedD．
A．by American companies at home          
B．by American companies in China
C．by American companies in Singapore      
D．by Japanese companies in the United States
37．To report the American GDP，the Commerce Department should count money earnedA．
A．by both American and foreign companies in America
B．by American companies within its own borders
C．by foreign companies in the United States
D．by American companies in its foreign markets
38．GDP is considered better than GNP by some economists becauseD．
A．it is something new              
B．it is used by most countries
C．it is easier to calculate            
D．it is less likely to be affected by the foreign market
39．What will happen to the value of American economy if GDP is used to replace GNP？C
A．It will be seriously affected．
B．It will not be affected．
C．It will come down a little．
D．It will slightly go up．
40．How often are the reports of GDP issued by the American Commerce Department？B
A．once every four months                  
B．once every three months
C．once every six months                   
D．once a year．

11．Many animals recognize their food because they see it．So do （1）C．When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat．You can also use other （2）B  when you choose your food．You mayC（3）C it because it smells good or because it（4）D  good．You may dislike some types of food because they do not look，smell or taste very nice．
Different （5）D use different senses to find and choose their food．A few animals depend on only one of their senses，while most animals use more than one sense．
Although there are many （6）A  types of food，some animals spend their lives eating only one type．The giant panda eats only one（7）B  type of bamboo．Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the （8）C．A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage，even though there are plenty of other （9）B  in the garden．However，most animals have a moreA（10）A diet．The bear eats fruits and fish．The fox eats small animals，birds and fruits．The （11）C  of these animals will be different depending on the season．
（12）C  have a very varied diet．We often eat food because we like it and not because it is （12）B  for us．In countries such as France and Britain，people eat foods with too much （14）A．This makes them overweight，which is bad for their health．Eating too much red meat and animal （15）A，such as butter，can also be bad for the health．Choosing the right food，therefore，has become an area of study in modem life．

10．When several people look at the same person，it is not unusual for each of them to see different things； when you are alone observing one behavior or a person at two different times，you may see different things．The followings are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions（感知，認(rèn)識）：
（1）Each person's perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning，education，and personal experiences．
（2）Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what've observed．It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person．Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person； or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship．Most people do not use the same standard to measure their parents，their friends，and strangers．
（3）Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don't see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs，desires，or temporary emotional states．This is a process known as selective perception．Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory information is particularly obvious，but it can be done．We can ignore the   stimulus--"He's basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting（入店行竊）．"We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information--"All kids get into mischief（頑皮）．Taking a book from a bookstore isn't such a big deal．"We can change the meaning of the contradictory information---"It wasn't shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later．"…

26．The first factor given by the author that affects our perception isB．
A．our hearing and visual abilities        B．cultural background and personal experiences
C．the experience one learns from others   D．critical measures taken by other people
27．While observing a particular person，D．
  A．one is likely to take all aspects into consideration      
  B．one pays more attention to his/her advantages
  C．children often differ from grown-ups in perception       
  D．one tends to choose certain aspects to look at
28．Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ becauseA．
  A．they follow different standards                          
  B．either of them may be slow to catch information
  C．the time for observation is not long enough
  D．each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions
29．The underlined word"stimulus"in Paragraph 4refers toC．
 A．something attractive             B．selective perception      
 C．contradictory information        D．shoplifting
30．The worst thing in selective perception is thatB．
A．the information received runs against your desire
B．facts can be twisted or totally ignored
C．importance of the contradictory information can be overrated （估計(jì)過高）
D．misbehaved children may not be punished．

9．Blind imitation is self-destruction．To those who do not recognize their unique worth，imitation appears attractive； to those who know their strength，imitation is unacceptable．
In the early stages of skill or character development，imitation is helpful．When I first learned to cook，I used recipes （菜譜） and turned out some tasty dishes．But soon I grew bored．Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own？Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle； they help you get going，but once you find your own balance，you fly faster and farther without relying on them．
In daily life，imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously （下意識地） hold poor role models．If，as a child，you observed people whose lives were bad，you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did．If you do not make strong choices for yourself，you will get the results of the weak choices of others．
In the field of entertainment，our culture glorifies celebrities．Those stars look great on screen．But when they step off screen，their personal lives may be disastrous．If you are going to follow someone，focus on their talent，not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors．
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique．Think of the movies，books，teachers，and friends that have affected you most deeply．They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration，not desperation．The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them，but by those who do what has been done inside them．Creative people have an endless resource of ideas．The problem a creator faces is not running out of material； it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination．
Study your role models，accept the gifts they have given，and leave behind what does not serve you．Then you can say，"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors'tragedies and declare victory，and know that they are cheering me on．"

36．Imitation proves useful when youC．
A．know you are unique
B．lose the balance of life
C．begin to learn something new
D．get tired of routine practice
37．To avoid the bad result of imitation，we shouldB．
A．forget daily fear and pain
B．choose the right example
C．a(chǎn)sk others for decisions
D．stay away from stars
38．According to the author，the world moves on because of those who areB．
A．desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B．ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C．eager to discover what their ancestors did
D．willing to accept others'ideas
39．The trouble a creator faces isD．
A．the lack of strong motivation
B．the absence of practical ideas
C．how to search for more materials
D．how to use imagination creatively
40．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？A
A．To highlight the importance of creativity．
B．To criticize the characters of role models．
C．To compare imitation with creation．
D．To explain the meaning of success．

8．Around twenty years ago I was living in York．（16）Though/Although I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree，I could not find satisfying work．
I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with a friend of mine，for I had lost my flat．I had attended five interviews with a company and one day，between bus runs，they called to say I did not get （17）the  job．"Why has my life become so hard？"I thought （18）painfully  （painful）．
As I pulled the bus over（19）to drop（drop） off a little girl，she handed me an earring（耳環(huán)）saying that I should keep it in case somebody claimed （認(rèn)領(lǐng)） it．The earring （20）was painted（paint ）black and said"BE HAPPY"．
At first I got angry．Then it hit me-----I had been giving all of my attention to what was going wrong with （21）my life rather than what was right!I decided then and there to make a list of fifty things I was happy with．Later，I decided to add more things to the list．That night there was a phone call for me （22）from a lady who was a director at a large hospital．She asked me （23）if/whether I would give a one-day lecture on stress （24）management （manage） to 200medical workers．I said yes．
My day there went very well，and before long I got a well-paid job．To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of thinking（25）thatI completely changed my life．

5．My morning routine includes shopping at the local convenient store to buy The Daily News．One morning not long ago，the convenience of the store prove（36）Ato people stuck in the（37）Dbehind two small boys．As I approach the counter to （38）Bthe attendant，I noticed the two little guys standing at the front of the line，which was growing （39）Cby the minutes．
The man behind the counter clearly agitated（心煩意亂的） with the boys as his （40）C rose above the morning chatter in the store and he said to them，"Look，you （41）D nineteen cents more to pay for this candy．If you don't have it，you won't （42）A it．"
I （43）C，as the small boys shuffled （移步） from one foot to another without any （44）B，just staring at the attendant，their wide eyes filled with tears．The people waiting （45）A in the line began to complain loudly，"Just go，boys!"I shouted（46）D the noise，"I've got the nineteen cents．Take this dollar for my （47）Cand keep the change towards their candy．"
The attendant seemed relieved to have the matter settled．Everyone in the line turned to look at me with the（48）Aof the two small boys who quickly snatched the candy and （49）C the store．
I handed over the dollar，smiled at the attendant and left．As I made my way to my car a small voice called out to me，"Hey，Lady!"I （50）B to see one of the boys standing around the corner of the building．"That was pretty （51）B!"
