Having worked at a 7-Eleven store for two years, I thought I had become successful at what our manager calls “customer relations”. I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an automatic “sir”, “ma’ma”, and “thank you” would see me through any situation that might arise, from comforting impatient or unpleasant people to apologizing for giving out the wrong change. But the other night an old woman shattered my belief that a simple and plain response could smooth over the rough spots of dealing with all kinds of customers.

The moment she entered, the woman presented a sharp contrast to our shiny store with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. Walking as if each step were painful, she slowly pushed open the glass door and hobbled (蹒跚) down the nearest aisle. She coughed dryly, wheezing (气喘吁吁) with each breath. On a forty-degree night, she was wearing only a faded dress, a thin sweater too small to button, and black slippers with the backs cut out to expose calloused (满是老茧的) heels. There were no stockings or socks on her blue-veined legs.

After wandering around the store for several minutes, the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She picked up a can of corn and stared with a strange intensity at the label. At that point, I decided to be a good, polite employee and asked her if she needed help. As I stood close to her, my smile became harder to maintain; her red-rimmed eyes were partially closed by yellowish crusts (痂); her hands were covered with layer upon layer of dirt, and the unpleasant smell of sweat rose from clothes.  

“I need some food,” she muttered in reply to my bright “Can I help you?”

“Are you looking for corn, ma’am?”

“I need some food,” she repeated, “Any kind.”

“Well, the corn is ninety-five cents,” I said in my most helpful voice.

“I can’t pay,” she said.  

For a second, I wanted to say, “Take the corn.” But the employee rules flooded into my mind: Remain polite, but do not let customers get the best of you. Let them know that you are in control. For a moment, I even entertained the idea that this was some sort of test, and that this woman was someone from the head office, testing my loyalty. I responded dutifully, “I’m sorry, but I can’t give away anything for free.”

The old woman’s face collapsed a bit more, and her hands trembled as she put the can back on the shelf. She dragged her feet past me toward the door, her torn and dirty clothing barely covering her bent back.  

Moments after she left, I rushed out of the door with the can of corn, but she was nowhere in sight. For the rest of my shift, the image of the woman haunted me. I had been young, healthy and proud. She had been old, sick and desperate. Wishing with all my heart that I had acted like a human being rather than a robot, I was saddened to realize how weak a hold we have on our better instincts.

24. How did the writer feel about his job at 7-Eleven before the old woman came?

A. He found room for improvement in developing customer relations.

B. He was quite satisfied with his service manner.

C. He considered himself successful in dealing with all interpersonal relations.

D. He thought himself inexperienced after working in the store for two years.

25. The detailed account of the old woman is intended to show ________.

A. how she presented a sharp contrast to the other customers

B. how she surprised the writer with her unusual appearance

C. how sick, poor and desperate for help she was

D. how inappropriate it was for her to enter a place like this

26. Why did the writer refuse to offer free food to the old woman?

A. Because he thought it as an entertainment. 

B. Because he wanted to pass the test to show his loyalty.

C. Because the old woman was an head official. 

D. Because his instinct gave way to the employee rules.

27. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. What for. B. How Come. C. If Only. D. Never Ever.

C

Calling vegetables and fruits “ugly” can be a recipe for sales success, according to a new study.

A French supermarket chain made international headlines when it began marketing misshapen produce as “ugly” in 2014. Since then, food stores around the world have launched campaigns to sell “imperfect produce”. Some have been successful, while others haven’t — but until now, researchers hadn’t adequately explained why consumers rejected imperfect produce, or what marketing approach was most likely to whet their appetites.

The researchers conducted seven studies that tested the effects of “ugly” labeling by having participants purchase produce at a farmer’s market and online, and by examining people’s impressions about misshapen foods. Interestingly, they found that consumers expected the imperfect produce to be less tasty and even less nutritious than more traditionally attractive foods.

But it’s not all bad news for unattractive foods. The researchers also found that when the produce is labeled “ugly”, consumer hesitancy disappears — and it’s not because of humor or originality. Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is appearance, which makes them aware of their bias (偏见) and significantly increases their willingness to buy the less attractive produce.

“We’re pointing to the source of the rejection,” explains John Meredith, the lead researcher. “It makes people aware of the limited nature of their objection to the unattractive produce and makes it clear to consumers that there are no other problems in the produce other than attractiveness.”

The research also found consumers spent more on the misshapen produce labeled “ugly” instead of “imperfect”. And even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25 percent discount, it turned out to be more profitable for sellers, as the cost of acquiring the ugly produce was lower. However, if the price reduction was too sharp, participants expected the “ugly” foods to be of low quality.

28. What is the new study mainly about?

A. Food quality. B. Marketing approach.

C. Consumer demand. D. Bias against appearance.

29. What does the underlined phrase “whet their appetites” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Stimulate their desire of buying. B. Satisfy their need to eat better.

C. Discourage them from trying out. D. Raise their concerns about nutrition.

30. Why are people willing to buy ugly-labeled produce without hesitation?

A. They are happy to spend less and have more.

B. They are curious about the special shapes of produce.

C. They are attracted by the funny and creative idea of labeling.

D. They are led to believe ugly produce has no quality problems.

31. Which way helps food sellers make more profit according to the study?

A. Call the ugly produce “ugly”. B. Label the ugly produce “imperfect”.

C. Group the produce by its attractiveness. D. Price the ugly produce at a sharp discount.

D

The fish eggs, all 200 of them, were settled and ready to go. The ground crew had counted the eggs carefully, and sealed them tightly within a plate filled precisely to the edge with seawater.

The countdown, and then—ignition (点火)! For two full minutes, the precious eggs suffered a violent shaking as the rocket’s engines exploded to life, and then rise to the heavens. These eggs were on their way to low Earth orbit. Next stop: the moon.

Well, they haven’t actually left yet. But after a recent simulation (模拟) designed to re-create the intense shaking of a typical takeoff, researchers in France found that the eggs survived. It’s a crucial discovery in the progress of the Lunar Hatch, a program that aims to determine whether astronauts could successfully raise fish on a future moon base.

Finally, Cyrille Przybyla, an aquaculture (水产养殖) researcher at the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea who led the research, dreams of designing a lunar fish farm that uses water already on the moon to help feed residents of the future Moon Village set to be established by the European Space Agency (ESA).

Przybyla’s hope is to offer lunar residents fresh, inviting, protein-rich fish—not just packets of freeze-dried food. “I proposed the idea to send eggs, not fish, because eggs are very strong,” he says.

Besides, Przybyla suggests there will be other benefits for astronauts who may one day find themselves raising animals in space. “From the psychological point of view, it’s better to have a reminder of Earth–you have a garden; you have a tank with fish,” he says.

Designing self-contained and self-supporting systems for food production beyond Earth will be crucial for future space exploration programs, says Luke Roberson, a researcher at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. And he says Przybyla’s study is “a great first step” toward showing that aquaculture is a practical part of that future.

32. What is Paragraph 2 about?

A. An imagination. B. An experience.

C. An experiment. D. An adventure.

33. Why do the researchers want to send the eggs to the moon?

A. To offer eggs to astronauts as food.

B. To test whether the eggs are strong.

C. To promote aquaculture on the earth.

D. To see the possibility of raising fish on the moon.

34. What’s the psychological advantage of raising animals in space?

A. It can get rid of loneliness.

B. It diversifies the space food.

C. It gives astronauts something to do.

D. It helps astronauts remember the Earth.

35. What’s Luke Roberson’s attitude to the plan to raise fish on the moon?

A. Doubtful.         B. Favorable.        C. Disapproving.     D. Neutral.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One morning in December, Tom Carr was playing with his friend Dot as usual in the yard. Tom was nine years old, and Dot was seven. Tom took very great care of his friend.

     Then a man who Tom knew rode into the yard in a hurry. It was Mr. May, who lived at the next station, where there was a big farm. “Fire!” He cried to Tom's father. “Fire! One of the worst fires I've ever seen in my life. Come along, Carr.”

     Mr. Carr called his men out. In an hour or so Mrs. May and her baby drove up. Tom and Dot ran to meet them. “Thank you, dear,” she said. “The smoke is so bad at home that I was afraid it would choke(使窒息) the baby.”

     She went to the house, and Tom and Dot were following her, when Tom stopped. “Look there, Dot,” he said. “The brown calf(小牛) has gotten out of the yard!” The men were in such a hurry to fight the fire that they forgot to close the gate, and the brown calf was running away. Tom ran at once to bring the calf back, and Dot ran after him.

     About half a mile from the farm yard the open land came to an end, and the bushes(灌木) began. The calf ran into the trees, and the children followed. The trees were not thick at first, and it was very easy to follow the brown calf through the bushes. But the calf ran into a deep valley, where Tom could not follow it.

      “Oh, what a pity, Dot,” he said. “The calf is lost now. It will disappear into the bushes. But give me your hand. We must go home!”

     Tom now tried to find his way home. He felt sure he could easily get home, for they had only gone a little way into the bushes. They walked on and on, and Dot got very tired. Tom took his friend on his back, and carried him for a long way. “Oh, how thick the smoke is!” said Dot. There had been smoke in the air all day, but now it was very thick. The fire had to be getting closer.

书面表达二：

  Tom began to feel very scared. He tried to move faster, but he could not find the way out of the bushes. He was getting tired because Dot was too heavy to carry for a young boy. At last he came into an open space with a large pool in the middle. "Look, I've found some water, Dot!" Tom shouted. While Dot was drinking, Tom looked around and found a hole in the rocks nearby. He quickly made his clothes and Dot's wet, for the approaching smoke could choke them, and then the two children hid in the shelter, waiting for the fire to pass.

  When Mr. Carr came back to the yard, he was told that the two kids got lost. He immediately ran out to search for them. Mr. May ran after him. They soon found the footprints of the children and followed them into the bushes. They both felt afraid because a big fire had just passed through the bushes. "Poor children, the fire could have burnt them to death!" thought Mr. Carr worriedly. While they walked on without hope, there came a sweet voice. "Mr. Carr!" It was from Dot, who was being carried by Tom. "Thank goodness, you are safe!" Mr. Carr jumped with joy and hugged the brave kids.
