14.A disastrous competition is going on in England,with billions of dollars and hundreds of lives in danger.OK,that's not true.But competitors from around the world gathered on Thursday to compete for the title of 2012's World's Biggest Liar.
Each participant is given up to five minutes to make up the best lie in the competition,which was started in honor of 19th-century Bridge Inn owner Will Ritson,who was reportedly famous for his lies.Competitors gather at the Bridge Inn every year for the competition,a small pub in northwestern England.Anyone can take part in the competition.Well,almost anyway; the reporters note that lawyers and politicians are banned,who is said to enjoy"an unfair advantage"in the proceedings (進程).
A study published this past July in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior found that nearly all lies are detectable through visible facial muscle (肌肉) reactions in the person telling a lie."Thus,while interpersonal deception (欺騙) often is highly successful,signs of hidden emotional states are communicated clearly to the informed observer,"the study concluded.
A churchman of Carlisle reportedly holds what may be the greatest lie of all time in the competition,simply stating,"I have never told a lie in my life."
In 2003,Abrie Krueger of South Africa became the first non-Brit to win the competition.Ironically,Krueger was accused by some of cheating.
In 2006,comedian Sue Perkins became the first female to win the competition,telling a tale about people riding camels to work as a result of climate change.
Last year's winning entry came from Glen Boyland,who told a lie about competing in a snail-racing (蝸牛賽跑) competition with Prince Charles.
56.The article begins withB.
A.a piece of news                       
B.a lie told by the writer
C.the passage's topic sentence             
D.a case from the competition
57.The competition is held at the Bridge Inn becauseC.
A.its present owner is hospitable           
B.most local people are liars
C.it once had a good liar as its owner      
D.it is a tourist attraction
58.When the writer wrote"Well,almost anyway"(Para.2),he or she realized thatA.
A.the previous sentence was not exact       
B.the previous sentence was all wrong
C.the next sentence would be exact          
D.the reporters didn't agree with him or her
59.Paragraph Three mainly tells us thatD.
A.lying requires extraordinary skill        
B.liars are able to find each other out
C.most lies are believed in everyday life       
D.liars always show signs of lying
60.Ais mentioned just because his or her lie was special.

Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.We didn't always agree,but we learned   the key to living together:giving in.cleaning up and holding on.

13.The financial crisis is reminding Americans of a lesson they first learned in childhood:Share and share alike.They are sharing or swapping tools and books,cars and handbags,time and talent.
The renewed desire to share shows up in a variety of examples:A car-sharing service has had a 70percent membership increase since the crisis occurred.Some companies encouraged his employees to take vanpooling.Governments are putting bikes on the street for public use.How-to-swap Web sites are increasing quickly.
The economy reflects the way Americans have cut back,especially on daily items:Department store sales dropped 1.3percent in June.People are not buying cars,and as a result,auto sales dropped 27.7percent last month.They are not paying others to do what they can do themselves-Home Depot reports increased attendance at in-store do-it-yourself clinics.And although paint sales are down in general,according to Sherwin-Williams,individual consumers are still buying.
When Tom Burdett needed to cut some tiles at his home outside Annapolis,he refused to buy expensive tools.So he asked his neighbors and friends for help.Sure enough,someone had just what he needed.And when that friend needed help fixing a satellite dish,Burdett volunteered to help.
The sharing mind-set is not new to the American culture,but many Americans give it up when the nation changed from an agricultural society to an industrial one,said Rosemary Hornak,a psychology professor at Meredith College in Raleigh,N.C.They moved farther from their families and did not have time to connect with new neighbors because they worked so much,she said.
Neighborhood conversations tell more of the story as the movement grows organically (持續(xù)地) in communities across the Washington region and the nation.On one street in Arlington,for example,neighbors are collecting their separate money for mulch (覆蓋料) and dividing it among themselves.

32.What is the text mainly about?B
A.Introducing a new way of life.B.Sharing in the financial crisis.
C.How to reduce the living expense.D.How to handle the financial crisis.
33.Why do people in modern times give up the sharing mind-set?C
A.Because they don't need it at all.B.Because they aren't interested in it.
C.Because they are busy with work.D.Because they hate being disturbed.
34.The underlined phrase"cut back"in Para.3probably meansD.
A.shared     B.helped          C.abandoned      D.reduced
35.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.
A.more and more Americans solve problems in their daily life by helping each other.B.if the prices of service goes down,individual consumers won't do something themselves.
C.the sharing-mind set is a strange to many Americans.
D.when the crisis ends,Americans will abandon the sharing-mind set.
