There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear.The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.Traditionally,a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking in clothes consciousness(意识).
This type of American culture is by degrees changing as man dress takes on greater variety and color.Even as early as 1955,a researcher in Michigan said that men attached rather high importance to the value of clothing in daily life. White collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol(象征)of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.The white collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his superiors(上司).Although blue collar workers were less aware(察觉到的)that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers.
Since that time,of course,the patterns have changed:the typical office worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,and the laborer a white shirt;but the importance of dress has not become less.Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups(阶层).
The passage tells us that _______.
A．our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activity B．the clothes that we choose to wear have something to do with our values and lifestyles C．our values and lifestyles are from the sign language D．the clothes we choose to wear depend on a set of information and immediate impression
A．men cared very much for clothes B．women were concerned greatly about what they wore while men didn’t C．both men and women paid great attention to their clothes D．neither men nor women showed interest in clothes
A．they are concerned about the impression their clothes make on their superiors B．they know very clearly that people will judge them on the basis of their clothing C．they want to impress and influence others D．they don’t want to be laughed at
A．Men thought the value of clothing in daily life was very important. B．Men didn’t pay attention to the importance of the value of clothing in daily life. C．Men thought little of the importance of the value of clothing in daily life. D．Men were concerned little about the value of clothing in daily life.
A．now men pay more attention to their clothes than women do B．women always like beautiful dresses C．people have paid more and more attention to the importance of dress D．American culture is changing greatly
Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun, see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address (="tell)" it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.
We can infer that passage is to ________.
A．explain how to use the Internet B．describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology C．tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the Internet D．introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
A．spend less time working B．have more free time with his child C．work at home on weekends D．work at a speed comfortable to him
A．reach a group of people at one time conveniently B．keep one’s communication as personal as possible C．pass on much more information than the latter D．get in touch with one’s friends faster than the latter
A．Computer: New Technological Advances B．Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship C．Computers Have Made Life Easier D．Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication

Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?
A．They are often forgotten by their owners. B．They are used to living outdoors. C．They build their own shelters. D．They like to stay in warm places.
A．To know when to bring them inside. B．To keep them from eating bad food. C．To help them find shelters. D．To keep them company.
A．run short of clean water B．dig deep holes for fun C．dirty the snow nearby D．get lost in the wild
A．To solve a problem. B．To give practical advice. C．To tell an interesting story. D．To present a research result.
Some people took a tourist bus to a mountainous area .The scenery was really _______and a couple of young lovers were _______ so much by the natural beauty that they got off the bus on the way.

The lovers were greatly _______by the news that no passengers on_______ survived. When they calmed down, they _______ and expressed their feelings in a few words.
The above story was told by a_______ when we were riding a tourist bus to a scenic mountain. He asked us to guess what the lovers said after the disaster that they had _______ escaped.
Often we read reports about traffic accidents, among which there were lucky ones who missed the bus and _______ the disaster. Those people usually said with a sigh of _______ “Fortunately I was not on board.” On our bus the passengers’ _______ to the guide were various.
But the answer was quite out of our _______.“If we hadn’t got down and delayed the bus, it would have passed the dangerous spot and all the passengers would have _______”
The story passed from person to person as a sort of wit (智慧) test, but I think _______ It actually serves as an examination of a person’s mind.

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of those unfortunate people who have sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get on my way there. When I was young I was so that I never dared ask strangers the way and so I used to round in circles and hope that I would happen to get to the place I was heading for. I am too shy to ask people for directions, but I often replies that puzzle me.

If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong but even this can have embarrassing (尴尬的) results. Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and him in the crowd behind me I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
