When I was very young, I usually watched my grandma throwing out the crusts of the bread that were not fresh for the birds ・ Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds apart from the odd
sparrow or starling・ Later on, we discovered packets of "wild bird food" at the local store, which
brought in more interesting species. Since then feeding garden birds has come a long way for me.
Today, I can enjoy a wide variety of birds.Sometimes I wonder if we might be feeding our garden
birds better than our kids.
All this comes at a cost to us of an estimated £200 million a year. But I firmly believe what the
scientists from a university said, “Our generosity is having a major effect on the behavior, ecology
and even evolution of these familiar species. ” Take the goldfinch for example. When I began
birding in the 1960s, this was a fairly rare bird, found along low bushes or in fields with weeds.
Today, they can be seen in four out of five gardens.
During the bitter winter of 1890-1891, workers in London gave the small amount of their
packed lunches to starving songbirds. And in the 1980s, the British were encouraged to offer food to
garden birds・ Then, in 2005, came Springwatch, who put paid to the widespread belief that we
should only feed garden birds during the winter. In fact, we should provide food all year round： the
most crucial time is the early spring, when natural resources are at their lowest.
Some argue with greater reasons that because most birds coming to feeders are the larger,
commoner and more aggressive species, they will gain an unfair advantage over the smaller and
weaker ones・ But this ignores one major benefit of feeding garden birds 一 the way it connects
millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who may find it hard
to gain access to the wider countryside, including young children and sick, old, disabled people who
prefer to stay at home most of time.
24. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. The author sets a life goal. B. The author spreads a family
tradition.
C. The author develops a lasting hobby. D. The author chooses a promising
career・25. What does the author want to express in the first two paragraphs?
A. It is helpful to affect those around. B. It is worth making the great effort.
C. It is our duty to protect the ecology. D. It is valuable to be generous to
them.
26. What do the underlined words "put paid to" in the third paragraph mean?
A. Come up with. B. Bring an end to.
C. Offer evidence for. D. Express approval of.
27. What does the author think of feeding garden birds?
A. It causes fierce survival struggle among species.
B. It can satisfy the requirements of certain people.
C. It makes it possible for people to step into nature.
D. It encourages people to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
C
Body language varies significantly across cultures. But what remains consistent across all
known cultures are microexpressions. Microexpressions occur in everyone in a second, often without
their knowledge・ These facial expressions including surprise, anger, fear, disgust, happiness, and so
on can reveal our true feelings about another person or situation.
People might try to hide or obscure （模糊）them in different ways informed by culture, but to
a practiced reader the true emotions are always visible. In the Philippines, showing both positive and
negative emotion is a sign of openness and honesty・ But visible negative emotion is seen as rude or
aggressive while expressing too much positive feeling is considered embarrassing in Japan. However,
when we evaluate people from both countries for their microexpressions, we find that they actually
experience emotions at more or less the same level of frequency.
A few years ago, my husband and I traveled to Qatar to lead a body language discussion for
200 HR （人 力资源）leaders・ Women's bodies were completely covered, so we couldn't see
thposture or gestures. When standing on stage, all the men looked only at my husband and all the
women merely at me. Luckily, we knew from the videos we'd previously made of Qataris that the flashes of emotion in th&r faces reflected the same feelings we might find from audience members
anywhere else in the world. And so we could adjust what we want to show accordingly, and felt just
as comfortable as we would have at home.
To recognize and understand miroexpressions, you should first study the common
microexpressions to know the typical feature of each. And then educate yourself on the local body
language 一 including masking techniques before visiting or interacting with another culture. Third,
when you're in the moment, pay much more attention. You can't interpret microexpressions if you
don't notice them. Fourth, listen to your intuition （ 直 觉 ） .When you notice a tiny facial
movement, ask yourself, "What could that mean?” Besides, you might also try to imitate the
movement.
28. What is special about microexpressions?
A. They are brief and unaware. B. They are hidden and unusual.
C. They are natural but unnecessary. D. They are flexible but unavailable.
29. What is most useful for the body language discussion according to the author?
A. Getting well prepared・ B. Being well organized.
C. Reacting with others actively. D. Using body language accordingly.
30. Which stage will you be in if you keep your focus on others，face?
A. Step One. B. Step Two.
C. Step Three. D. Step Four.
31. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Developing Greater SocialSkills B. Getting Better atReading People
C.Behaving More Differently inPublic D. Learning Moreabout
Microexpressions
D
Scientists from around the world examined whether supplements marketed are good for brain
health, particularly in those aged over 50. Despite the claims of some supplements that they could
improve cognitive （认知的）skills, no clear evidence was found to back this up.
The report said, "For the handful that have been researched, several well-designed studies of
supplements for brain health found no benefit in people with normal nutrient levels. It's unclear whether people who lack nutrition can benefit their brains by taking a supplement. The pills failed to
protect against dementia （痴呆）and did not slow the process or improve the symptoms of the
disease and the report said that a healthy diet rich in fruit and vegetables, being physically active and
getting sufficient sleep were linked to better brain function. ”
The value of the food supplement market in Britain is expected to reach more than £1 billion by
2012 and supplements sold on the high street for brain performance cost up to £26 for 60 pills. And
Caroline Abrahams, the charity director at Age UK said that people were better off spending money
to improve diets.
The report did find evidence suggesting that supplements could benefit people diagnosed with
lacking vitamin. It added that these should only be taken if advised by a doctor because some
supplements could interact with medicines or contain high levels of nutrients, which could be deadly.
Supplements were not strictly controlled in the way that medicines were and may not contain
high-quality ingredients or what was on the label, the report said.
The Health Food Manufacturers' Association, which represents the British supplement industry,
said that the report was based on the American market. In Britain products could only make claims
approved by the European Food Safety Authority, such as the zinc （锌）contributed to normal
cognitive functions, a spokesman said.
32. What is the finding of the scientists about the supplements?
A. They bring about no positive effect. B. They break the balance of normal life.
C.They get people to get addicted to them. D. They are hardly suitable for the
younger.
33. The author uses the third paragraph to show people should____________.
A. be aware of their needs clearly B. change their daily diets regularly
C. take control of the market strictly D. make use of their money properly
34. What should people do if they do need to take supplements?
A. Follow professional suggestions.
B. Be sure of the vitamins they lack.
C. Refer to the instructions of the labels.
D. Avoid taking together with other medicines.35. What do the British authorities think of the report?
A. Annoying. B. Unacceptable.
C. Worrying. D. Favorable.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
There are many barriers on the way to success・ Fortunately, most of them can be overcome
36 I'd like to show the four most important strategies I know to overcome success
barriers.
1. Decide what success means to you.
Everybody wants success. For some, success means making a lot of money ； for others it
means having great relationships with great people. If you're not clear on what success means to you,
you're going to chase an unclear version of success, which constitutes a major barrier in achieving it.
37 You're never going to catch it.
2. Look at the barrier as an outsider.
Imagine that the goal you want to reach is not yours — it's someone else's. And the obstacle
that prevents reaching it is theirs as well. And as an outsider, you have a taste for problem solving.
38 It's like seeing your situation with new eyes, and often you'll be amazed at the resolutions
you'll see with these new eyes.
3. Inform yourself.
39 They have a good comprehension of the situation and the obstacle, so it's easy for them to
see appropriate ways to overcome it. How to do these? By constantly learning, especially in the areas
where you want to achieve performance, and keeping yourself very well informed.
4. Keep trying.
I find that many people don't overcome obstacles because they only try one or two ways to
overcome it, and if these don't work, they give up. In order to overcome the obstacle, you'll need to
try several solutions, and move from one to another based on the results you get. 40
A. It's like chasing a ghost.E. Eventually you'll find the best solution.
C. It's not always easy, but it's almost always possible.
D. Give this strategy a try in dealing with obstacles you face.
E. If a solution doesn't solve your problem, look at the problem again.
F. The people who are best at overcoming success obstacles are very well informed・
G. Well-informed persons must get information from many different news resources.
