A
My color television has given me
nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a
little over a
year ago because I had my
relatives give me money for my birthday instead of
clothes that
wouldn’t fit. I let a
salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued
model. I realized this a day later,
when I saw newspaper advertisements for
the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had
paid. The
set worked so beautiful when
I first got it home that I would keep it on until
stations signed off for
the night.
Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing
all
-night movies or I would never have
gotten to bed.
Then I
started developing a problem with the set that
involved static(
静电
) noise.
For some
reason,
when
certain
shows
switched
into
a
commercial,
a
loud
noise
would
sound
for
a
few
seconds. Gradually, this
noise began to appear during a show, and to get
rid of it, I had to change
to another
channel and then change it back. Sometimes this
technique would not work, and I had
to
pick
up
the
set
and
shake
it
to
remove
the
sound.
I
actually
began
to
build
up
my
arm
muscles(
肌肉
)
shaking my set.
When neither of these
methods removed the static noise, I would sit
helplessly and wait for
the
noise
to
go
away.
At
last
I
ended
up
hitting
the
set
with
my
first,
and
it
stopped
working
altogether.
My
trip
to
the
repair
shop
cost
me
$$62, and
the
sit
is
working
well
now,
but
I
keep
expecting more trouble.
21.
Why did the author say he was fooled into buying
the TV set?
A.
He
got an older model than he had expected.
B.
He couldn’t
return it when it was broken.
C.
He could have
bought it at a lower price.
D.
He failed to

signed
off
”
in paragraph 1?
A.
ended all
their programs
B.

again?
A.

shaking and hitting it
B.

channels

Your house may have an effect on your
figure. experts say the way you design your home
could
play
a
role
in
whether
you
pack
on
the
pounds
or
keep
them
off.
you
can
make
your
environment work for
you instead of against you. Here are some ways to
turn your home into part
of your diet
plan.
Open
the
curtains
and
turn
up
the
lights.
dark
environments
are
more
likely
to
encourage
overeating,
for
people
are
often
less
self-
conscious(
难为情
)
when
they’re
in
poorly
lit
places
–
and so more
likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t
have enough window light, get more
lamps and flood the place with
brightness.
Mind the colors. Research
suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one
study, people who
ate
meals
in
a
blue
room
consumed
33
percent
less
than
those
in
a
yellow
or
red
room.
Warm
colors
like yellow make food appear more appetizing,
while cold colors make us less hungry. So
when it’s time to repaint, go
blue.
Don’t forget the clock
–
or the radio. People who eat slowly
tend to consume about 70 fewer
calories(
卡路里
) per
meal than those who rush through their
meals. Begin keeping track of the
time, and try to make dinner last at 30
minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down
to eat. If
you
need
some
help
slowing
down,
turning
on
relaxing
music.
It
makes
you
less
likely
to
rush
through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls
and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about
22
percent more when using a 12-inch
plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a
large spoon
over a smaller one, total
intake(
摄入
) jumps by 14
percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more
liquid into a short, wide glass than a
tall, skinny glass.
25. The text is
especially helpful for those who care about ____.
A.
their home
comforts
B.
their
body shape
C.
house buying
D.
healthy diets
26. A home
environment in blue can help people ____.
A.
digest food
better
B.
reduce
food intake
C.
burn more calories
D.
regain their
appetites
27. What are people advised
to do at mealtimes?
A.
Eat quickly.
B.
Play fast music
C.
Use smaller
spoons
D.
Turn
down the lights
can be a suitable
title for the text?
A.
Is Your House Making You Fat?
B.
Ways of
Serving Dinner
C.
Effects of Self-Consciousness
D.
Is Your Home
Environment Relaxing?

C
More students than ever
before are taking a gap
year(
间隔年
) before going to
university. It
used to be the “year
off” between school and university. The
gap
-year phenomenon
originated(
起
源
)
with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants
between entrance exams in November and
the start of the next academic year.
This year, 25,310 students who have
accepted places in higher education institutions
have put
off
their
entry
until
next
year,
according
to
statistics
on
university
entrance
provided
by
the
University and College Admissions
Service (UCAS).
That is a record 14.7%
increase in the number of students taking a gap
year. Tony Higgins
from UCAS said that
the statistics are good news for everyone in
higher education. “Students who
take a
well-planned year out are more likely to be
satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course.
Students who take a gap year are often
more mature and responsible,” he said.
But
not
everyone
is
happy.
Owain
James,
the
president
of
the
National
Union
of
Students
(NUS), argued that
the increase is evidence of student hardship
–
young people are being
forced
into earning money before
finishing their education. “New students are now
aware that they are
likely to leave
university up to
￡
15,000 in
debt. It is not surprising that more and more
students
are taking a gap year to earn
money to support their study for the degree. NUS
statistics show that
over 40% of
students are forced to work during term time and
the figure increases to 90% during
vacating periods,” he said.
29. What do we learn about the gap year
from the text?
A.
It is flexible in length.
B.
It is a time
for relaxation
C.
It is increasingly popular
D.
It is required
by universities
30. According to Tony
Higgins. students taking a gap year ____.
A.
are better
prepared for college studies
B.
know a lot
more about their future job
C.
are more
likely to leave university in debt
D.
have a better
chance to enter top universities
31.
How does Owain James feel about the gap-year
phenomenon?
A.
He’s puzzled
B.
He’s
worried
C.
He’s surprised
D.
He’s
annoyed
would most students
do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?
A.
Attend
additional courses.
B.
Make plans for the new term
C.
Earn money for
their education
D.
Prepare for their graduate studies
