“Have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have_a_nice_day. Next！” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔調) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart?warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
1.How does the author understand Maxie's words?
A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D.Maxie really worries about the author's security.
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.The salesgirl is rude.
B.The salesgirl is bored.
C.The salesgirl cares about me.
D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
3.By saying “Have a nice day”， a stranger may________.
A.try to be polite to you
B.express respect to you
C.give his blessing to you
D.share his pleasure with you
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Have a Nice Day — a Social Custom
B.Have a Nice Day — a Pleasant Gesture
C.Have a Nice Day — a Heart?warming Greeting
D.Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a Conversation

There are various reasons why cancers appear to be on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these years, there are more cancer sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (診斷), doctors can more easily recognize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly diagnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and conditions of modern living, including heavy smoking and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions than before.
We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examination of the blood.
Researchers in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time.
The researchers believe the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.
The test examines very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂質). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer.
The researchers say the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray.
1.Who will fail cancer from the study of the researchers?
A. The young. B. The middle age and the older.
C. The man. D. The woman.
2.The underlined words "such a test" refer to ________.
A. the test that shows which persons have cancer and which don’t
B. the test that may be able to show cancer very early in its development
C. a simple medical test that cannot find cancer when it is small
D. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way
3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients’ blood.
B. People living in better conditions are most likely to be attacked by cancer.
C. X-raying is the best way to determine whether a person has cancer or not.
D. Cancers have nothing to do with a person’s habits and living conditions.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A simple way to cancer B. Cancers can be cured
C. How to find cancer D. Early discovery of cancer

Does stress cause gray hair？Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color.In fact，it is an_old_wives’_tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying.Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.
As one ages，the hairs on the head also age.In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while.The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled.Hairs on the head grow and eventually die.They are replaced，but in the process something else happens.
When new hairs are replaced，the color or pigment (色素) is also added to them.However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available.At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too.Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty.
Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss.It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying.However，there is no sound evidence to support this.
On the other hand，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension.Does stress cause gray hair？There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations.
1.The underlined phrase in the first paragraph most probably means ________.
A．clever remarks B．silly remarks
C．exciting remarks D．disappointed remarks
2.The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A．every part of body is replaced with age
B．hairs will grow weak but not die
C．skin becomes wrinkled with age
D．every part of body ages with age
3.What might play the most important role in the graying process?
A．Genetics and the amount of sleeping time.
B．The amount of food people eat and living environment.
C．The amount of pigment and genetics.
D．Genetics and the amount of water people drink
4.According to the passage，continuous pressure may result in ________.
A．a(chǎn) person’s fatness B．a(chǎn) person’s fitness
C．a(chǎn) person’s weight loss D．a(chǎn) person’s hair loss
5.From the passage we can infer that ________.
A．stress causing gray hair is still in question
B．gray hair has nothing to do with tension

Over the years, the recommendations of my friend Philip have led me to work with three of my favorite clients (客戶). I am certain that my relationships with these three clients have helped me meet many other wonderful people. Needless to say, I owe Philip a lot. Without him, these relationships wouldn't have happened.
Philip is bright, friendly, and inspiring. Sometimes his ideas pay off in a huge way. He is very successful. But this brilliant, creative, friendly man has a bit of difficulty when it comes to small commitments. These little behaviors are annoying things — last?minute cancellations, missed phone calls, and the like. While they do trouble my life a little bit, it's nothing really major that would make me back out of the relationship. Philip always apologizes for these minor defects. I always accept his apology. When I take all the good things and weigh them against the times he's let me down, he is so far ahead that he gets a “l(fā)ifetime pass”. And, I tell him so. When I do, he feels good and I feel better for forgiving him. To this day, we are friends. I am his friend because when I consider someone's actions, I ask myself, “Am I better off or worse off because of having this person in my life?”
With Philip, the answer has always been, and will always be, in his favor. Philip has been such a good friend and having him in my life has been such a good thing that I am grateful. This will always override (忽略) any of his “negative” behaviors. That's a lifetime pass. How many people do you have in your life to whom you have given a lifetime pass? Is the number high or low in your opinion? Most people want a higher number.
1.Why does the writer owe Philip a lot?
A.Because Philip has never troubled him as a good friend.
B.Because Philip has solved many of his annoying problems.
C.Because Philip has helped him meet many wonderful people.
D.Because Philip has offered him many good ideas that work well.
2.Which of the following can best describe Philip?
A.Every dog has its day.
B.All that glitters is not gold.
C.There are spots even on the sun.
D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
3.What does the underlined word “defects” in Para. 2 mean?
A.Praise that you give to someone for something they have done.
B.A fault or a lack of something that means that something is not perfect.
C.Something that you wear to change your appearance and hide who you are.
D.A very strong feeling that almost makes you sick, caused by something unpleasant.
4.What's the best title for the text?

After I made it to the city center, I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing. With growing confidence, I decided to take the subway to the hotel, not realizing that the network didn’t go that far. Impressed with the cleanliness of the station, I bought a ticket and boarded the first train that came along.
After a few minutes I asked in English of course a young man seated next to me where I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel. Wearing a smart business suit and tie, he would surely speak English, wouldn’t he? Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand me but seemed very friendly. I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters. He looked at it, and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage （車廂） subway map. Next, he raised three fingers of his right hand.
In Australia, raising fingers at someone is not usually nice, but this man wasn’t smiling. At the next station he showed me two fingers. Now in Australia, that’s really rude, but I got the message. When we stopped at the third station, he didn’t just point to the door, but got up, took me out of the train, and led me to the top of the stairs, and out onto the street. Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me.
All this came from a man who couldn’t speak my language, and I couldn’t speak his. I was now speechless, especially when he refused my offer of money. I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip.
This experience made it clear I had to learn some Chinese quickly or my adventures might start turning into bad luck.
1.The author decided to take the subway because ________.
A．he lived near the city center

B．still remained puzzled
C．a(chǎn)nswered the author directly
