A
Everyone knows that eating too much junk food is not good to our health. Yet, what is it about junk food that is so completely irresistible(无可抗拒的)? For one thing, it’s everywhere. From chips in fast food restaurants to candy in supermarkets, junk food always seems available. Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking.
Make friends with dainty(讲究的) eaters.
Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in.
See happy movies and always get the smaller bag of popcorn(爆米花).
According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movie, compared to when they are watching a comedy. Viewers consumed almost 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when given a medium-sized container.
Eat breakfast.
Nutritionists have gone back and forth（来来回回）about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good breakfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight-loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising.
Divide your food and conquer overeating.
Any kind of dividing your food into portions slows down your eating. Any kind of marker makes you aware of what you’re eating and of portion size. Researchers advise reallocating（再分配）snack foods into small plastic bags. It sounds simplistic, but it works. 21. Why do people eat too much junk food though it is bad for our health?
A. It’s delicious from chips to candy. B. Because it’s available here and there. C. It’s easily taken everywhere. D. It’s easily bought in fast food restaurants. 22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. If people are watching a tragedy, they eat up to 29% more popcorn.
B. People are likely to eat more food when staying with friends.
C. Nutritionists have the same opinion about how much to eat in the morning. D. People prefer to snack from a large bucket.
23. What will he or she do if he or she wants to lose weight?
A. To eat nothing in the morning. B. To get up early and to go to bed late. C. To eat breakfast and exercise. D. To snack from a medium-size bucket.
B
Can you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.
Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.
The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.
Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here's where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles —making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.
When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren't fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.
As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.
24. Why are younger children not fooled?_____________. A. Because their brain can hardly notice related things together. B. Because older people are influenced by their experience. C. Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older. D. Because they are smarter than older children and adults.
25. Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_____________. A. children's and adults' eye-sight B. people's ability to see accurately C. children's and adults' brains D. the influence of people's age 26. When asked to find the larger circle,_____________.
A. children at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no gray ones around B. only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around
C. children at 4 got it right about 79 % of the time with gray ones around D. adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around 27. According to the passage, we can know that_____________. A. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background B. an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size C. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size
D. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size
C
What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority（优先）over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.
In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our point of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail — other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical（合乎道义的）or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or catch our vulnerability(弱点). Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution（美国宪法）.
28. According to the passage, persuasion means ________.
A. changing others’ point of view B. exercising power over other people C. getting other people to consider your point of view D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want
29. The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means“________”. A. fail B. win C. speak D. listen
30. The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________. A. unwelcome behavior B. difficult to do well C. a danger to society D. never successful 31. The passage mainly discusses ________.
A. people’s different opinions towards persuasion B. the reasons why people persuade C. that persuasion is both good and bad
D. that persuasion is important and it is all around us

Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 36 It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called “elevator music” because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has an new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 37 If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 38 Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 39 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
40 They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak! A. Some people don’t like Muzak. B. The music gives them extra energy. C. Music is playing in the background.
D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used. G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.

American English has its own idioms. Let’s say you buy something in a shop. And 61 you pay for it, you say: this cost 62 an arm and a leg! What do you really mean by 63 (say) so? Do you have to give them an arm and a leg? I hope not. Let’s listen to an American English conversation 64 (see) if we can find out what this means. A: Did you buy that new computer? B: Yeah, I did. But I 65 (buy) it. A: Why do you say so? Is there anything wrong with it?
B: Not exactly, but , as a matter of fact, it cost the way more than I 66 (expect) it to be. A: 67 did you pay for it? B: Let me just tell you it cost an arm and a leg.
When you say in American English that something costs an arm and a leg, it actually means that 68 price is very, very high, much 69 (high)than we can expect. If you use this idiom in the United States, everyone will understand you. But this is a(n) 70 phrase, so don’t use it in a formal business setting.

Micro movies have been booming recently. Unlike traditional movies, micro movies are played on new media like mobile phones, tablet PCs and so on. They are shot within a short period of time, and some can be finished in only one day. They usually last a few minutes or a little longer. With a budget of less than 10,000 yuan, it’s a cheap way for many young directors to realize their dreams of making movies. What’s more, micro movies cover a wide range of subjects and tell complete stories, which attract millions of people to watch them and share them with others on the Internet.
