9．Complaints（投訴） should be made to a responsible person．Go back to the shop where you bought the goods，taking with you any receipt（收據(jù)） you may have．Ask to see the seller in a large store．In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain directly．In a chain store，ask to see the manager．If you telephone，ask the name of the pers on who handles your enquiry，otherwise you may never find out who deals with the complaint later．
Even the bravest person finds it difficult to stand up in a group of people to complain，so if you do not want to do it in person，write a letter．Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write．At this stage，you should give any receipt number，but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article．If you are not satisfied with the answer you get，or if you do not get a reply，write to the managing director of the firm，store，or organization．Be sure to keep copies of your own letter and any you receive．
If your complaint is a just one，the shopkeeper may offer to replace or repair the faulty article．You may find it an attractive solution．In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for the money back，but this is when you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once．Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well．And you have suffered some special loss，if，for example，a new washing machine tears your clothes，you might receive money to repair them．
56．The shoppers may make a complaint becauseB．
A．they dislike causing a fuss（大驚小怪）
B．it doesn't do what is claimed（要求） for it
C．the article is not up to standard
D．they are at fault in buying the article
57．If you write a letter to complain，A．
A．it is important to keep a record of what you say
B．it is necessary to send receipts
C．say how you feel about the matter
D．a(chǎn)sk what receipt numbers you should give
58．You can demand your money back only ifB．
A．the article cannot be replaced or repaired
B．you have gone back immediately
C．the article has not gone up in price since you bought it
D．the article has defects（缺陷）
59．You may be able to claim extra money whenC．
A．you have been hurt
B．you can't find something special
C．damage has been caused by the faulty article
D．your clothes have been torn or lost．

分析 文章講述如何抱怨，在不同的場(chǎng)合應(yīng)當(dāng)向不同的人抱怨．

解答 BABC
56  B   細(xì)節(jié)題．第一段中指出，"如果你買的東西有問(wèn)題，或者名不副實(shí)，那么你要求找回公道并不算是一種乞求．"很顯然，選項(xiàng)B符合題意．A中的短語(yǔ)意思是大驚小怪，D是指顧客對(duì)購(gòu)物這一行為本身不滿意，而不是對(duì)商品不滿意．
57  A  細(xì)節(jié)題．由第二段第一句話Even the bravest person finds it difficult to stand up in a group of people to complain，so if you do not want to do it in person，write a letter．Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write．可知，如果你寫信進(jìn)行投訴，一定要對(duì)投訴信作個(gè)備份，故選A．
58   B  細(xì)節(jié)題．第三段第三句提到，"某些時(shí)候你有權(quán)拒絕調(diào)換商品，要求把錢退還給你，但條件是你幾乎還沒(méi)有使用該商品，而且在購(gòu)物后很快就來(lái)投訴．"其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)皆不符合題意．故選B．
59   C  細(xì)節(jié)題．由最后一段中And you have suffered some special loss，if，for example，a new washing machine tears your clothes，you might receive money to repair them．可知，如果你在使用不合格商品過(guò)程中受到損失或傷害，你可以要求商家承擔(dān)責(zé)任、要求索賠．故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

20．"Mummy，I don't know what to play with．"Steve interrupts his mother，who is talking to a friend，for the fourth time．"You've got a room full of toys!"his mother says，impatiently．In fact it is thejumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve's lack of interest in his dolls，cars and stuffed （packed） animals．Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor，listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother's desk or following her into the kitchen saying："Mummy，I am bored．"
A family therapist （心理醫(yī)生） explains why children lose interest when they have a whole"toy shop"at home："According to their brain development，little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once．There is always just one favorite toy for the moment．All the rest is left lying about．"What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys？Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the child's knowledge．If he/she takes no more notice of a toy，a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away．Be warned though the child will always say he/she wants it then!A talk with relatives and friends may also help．Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie，and we like her way．A small set of shelves in her child's room holds the toys and books that are the current （at present） favorites．When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys，they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room．The box of"old"toys goes into the cupboard．When her child says she is"bored"，they also get something from her cupboard-it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn't seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy．
Some favorite toys stay out all the time，and there is a collection of dolls which sits in the corner，but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something"fresh"to play with．

4．Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think．They may let you surf the Internet，listen to music and take photos wherever you are，but they also turn you into a workaholic（工作狂）．
A study suggests that，by giving you access to emails at all times，the smartphone adds as much as two hours to your working day．Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles．The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours，but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails，or making work calls．
Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails．Some workers say they are on call almost 24 hours a day．Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up，while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night．The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am，with more than a third checking their first email in this period，and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight．
Ghadi Hobeika，marketing director of Pixmania，said："The ability to access millions of applications has made smartphones invaluable for many people．However，there are disadvantages．Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day，seven days a week，and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work．The more constantly in touch we become，the more is expected of us in work．"
67．With a smartphone the average UK working day isC．
A.2 hours       B.9 to 10 hours          C.11 to 12 hours               D.24 hours

1．Decision-making under Stress
A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages，causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative （負(fù)面的） consequences of a decision．
The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways．
"Stress affects how people learn，"says Professor Mara Mather．"People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress．"
For example，two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images（影像） with either rewards or punishments．In one experiment，some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience； in the other，some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water．In both cases，the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress．
This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress-at those moments，only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind．But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect．Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better，but negative consequences are also easily recalled．
The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women．While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress，their responses to risk turn out to be different．
Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way．In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big，men may tend to do better，when caution weighs more，however，women will win．
This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men：they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction．

68．We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend toB．
A．recall consequences more effortlessly
B．keep rewards better in their memory
C．make risky decisions more frequently
D．learn a subject more effectively
69．According to the research，stress affects people most probably in theirA．
A．ways of making choices
B．preference for pleasure
C．tolerance of punishments
D．responses to suggestions
70．The research has proved that in a stressful situation，C．
A．women find it easier to fall into certain habits
B．men have a greater tendency to slow down
C．men are more likely to take risks
D．women focus more on outcomes．

18．Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too？Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself？Well，apparently it's because we have mirror neurons （神經(jīng)元）in our brains．
       Put simply，the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something，our brains imitate （模仿）it，whether or not we actually perform the same action．This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile，talk，walk，dance or play sports．But the idea goes further：mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people．
       Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel．Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language．A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to （for example："The hand took hold of the ball"），the same mirror neurons were triggeredas when the action was actually performed （in this example，actually taking hold of a ball）．
       Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior．Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning．However，it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders．
       Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact （互動(dòng)）．Indeed，it may turn out to be the equivalent （相等物）for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics．And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well，perhaps you'll understand why．
72．Mirror neurons can explainC．
A．why we cry when we are hurt                  
B．why we cough when we suffer from a cold
C．why we smile when we see someone else smile 
D．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late
73．The underlined word"triggered"in the third paragraph probably means"A"．
A．set off         B．cut off          C．built up             D．broken up
74．We can learn from the passage that mirror neuronsA．
A．relate to human behavior and interaction      
B．control human physical actions and feelings
C．result in bad behavior and social disorders           
D．determine our knowledge and language abilities
75．What is the passage mainly about？D
A．Ways to find mirror neurons．
B．Problems of mirror neurons．
C．Existence of mirror neurons．
D．Functions of mirror neurons．
