The train shook back and forth, its wheels making a loud noise. Outside the windows the freezing cold of winter ruled. The train was filled with cold, tired passengers.
Suddenly a little boy 35 his way through the grown-up’s legs and sat down by the window. He was all alone among the unfriendly grown-ups. What a brave child, I thought.

What I received was a loud kiss on the face.
The boy quietly returned to his seat, leaned back and continued looking out of the window. I was so surprised. What just happened? A child kissed an 41 grown-up on the train. How could anybody want to kiss such a man that had so much beard (胡子)?

“He’s so happy to be alive,” the father said, “He has been very sick.” Father and son 43 into the crowd moving toward the exit. Then doors closed and the train went on.

What are emotions? As far as we know, human beings have always had emotions. Poets write about them, singers sing about them, and lovers and friends talk about them. We know that we can ‘control’ emotions, ‘express’ emotions and ‘feel’ emotions. Is it possible that we can smell emotions? Are we able, like some animals, to smell fear?
Sometimes you can see what emotions a person is feeling. When people are happy, they smile; when they are sad, they might cry; when they are angry, their faces might turn red; when they are feeling shy, they might sweat(出汗). These are all physical reactions(反應(yīng)), so can we say that emotions are physical reactions to something in our lives?
The problem is that emotions don’t always include physical reactions that we can see. Some people are good at hiding their emotions, and different people can have different physical reactions to the same emotion. Some people’s faces, for example, go white when they are angry and some people’s faces turn red. Some people go quiet when they are angry and some people shout.
Sometimes there is a physical reaction that we can’t see. For example, a person might be nervous and feel sick inside, but other people might not be able to see that. We might be able to see or smell emotions, but we can’t touch them. Can we describe them? In one way we can describe emotions. Everybody has some idea what ‘happy’ and ‘sad’ mean. But in another way it is difficult to describe emotions. Is the way you ‘love’ your pet, your family, your friend, or your husband and wife the same? I always think it is strange in English that we often write ‘love’ at the bottom of a Christmas card or a letter to a relative we hardly know or hardly ever see. We might write ‘love’ at the bottom of a letter to someone of the opposite sex (性別)who is just a friend, but we wouldn’t write ‘love’ at the bottom of a letter to somebody of the same sex even if we know that friend much better.
Some people say that emotions are just a chemical reaction, but I don’t want to believe that. I don’t know what they are, but life would be boring without them.
51.According to the passage, because you can ‘express’ emotions, ________
A. your face might turn red when you feel shy.
B. you might know it when you’re in danger.
C. you might smile when you’re happy.
D. you are good at hiding your emotions.
52.Which reaction is NOT mentioned when people are angry?
A. Their faces turn white or red.
B. They don’t seem to like to talk to others.
C. They often talk to people in a loud voice.
D. They write to their friends or relatives.
53.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Emotions only include physical reactions.
B. We can hardly see a person’s feelings from his face.
C. We might smell or see emotions, but we can’t touch them.
D. We write ‘love’ at the bottom of the letter to our closest friends.
54.In the writer’s opinion, what is ‘emotion’?
A. It’s hard to say what it is.
B. It is just a chemical reaction.
C. It’s a physical reaction to something in our lives.
D. It can be controlled, felt, expressed and known easily.

According to a survey(調(diào)查) by CIF, there’s room for improvement all over Britain.
Cleaning our home, love or hate it, is one job you have to work on. But that is not to say everyone spends the same amount (量) of time or effort on making their places tidy. A new survey by CIF―experts on making cleaning jobs easier ― shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven (爐), where you live in the UK may show how much effort you put into the job.
BATHROOM
25% of men have
never cleaned the toilet, but those in
KITCHEN
36% of people in the southeast say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the northeast spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes, especially the kitchen. In sharp contrast (強烈的對比) to that, 49% of Welsh people put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.
BEDROOM
18% believe cleaning starts here: that’s the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns (a kind of clothes). 51% of women in the northwest may be staying in bed and giving their husbands a cuddle (擁抱)as a “thank you” for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.
LIVINGROOM
32% of women in the northeast turn up the CD player to help make the cleaning more fun. Almost six in ten women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.
★ SHIFT (除掉) THE DIRT WITH CIF ! ★
It’s no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half and no one knows that better than CIF. For all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF’s top tips:
l Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head ― give it a quick squirt (噴) with CIF bathroom spray (噴劑) once a week.
l Stainless steel (不銹鋼) tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Orchid Oxy-Gel lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.
l Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue (燒烤) completely clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evenings. Perfect!
55.The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A. advertise a certain cleaning product
B. tell us the results of a certain survey
C. show us which is the hardest job at home
D. advise men to do more cleaning housework
56.From the survey we can know
that people in different parts of
A. have different ways to do housework
B. like to do different kinds of housework
C. have so many different kinds of tools on house cleaning
D. spend different amounts of time and effort on house cleaning
57.According to the survey, ________ spend the most time cleaning their homes.
A. people in
C. people in the southeast D. people in the northeast
58.CIF in the passage probably refers to ________.
A. an organization doing research on housework
B. some experts who give advice on doing housework
C. a company providing advice and products on cleaning
D. a TV show about providing cleaning products

Huihua, a Chinese girl, and Mary, an American student who was
studying Chinese in
Mary was worried. She found Huihua smiling a little and was not comfortable about it. “Tell me, Huihua, how could people laugh when someone fell like that?Do they care at all? Shouldn’t they go up and ask the young man whether he was hurt?
Huihua said, “They knew he wasn’t hurt too much.”
“But I still don’t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture, people would do anything but laugh!”
Chinese Perspective(觀點)
This is an example in which the Chinese and the westerners explain a smile differently. Very often, the Chinese people would also laugh or make a joke to ease the embarrassment(緩解尷尬) when they are caught in the embarrassing situation. However, if someone gets hurt seriously, it will not be a laughing matter any more. People will help him instead.
North American Perspective
A westerner would explain laughter in such a situation as a sign of either insensitivity(不關(guān)心) or, worse, pleasure that the person falling had hurt himself because that person was disliked. A westerner’s reaction would have been to rush over, help the person up, and to ask him, “ Are you okay?” If a westerner fell, he, like a Chinese person, might probably make a joke out of the incident (事件) if he was not hurt. If two close friends are walking together, and one trips but clearly isn’t hurt, a common joke is to say “ Have a nice trip”. However, this joke would be made only between two people who knew each other well.
