Therewe found my son, and he was just inches away from the edge of the cliff, fast asleep. Brandy wasbeside him, leaning (倚靠) against him to keep him away from the edge. When I picked Adam up,Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly. She must have been holding Adam there for hours!I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house. She hesitated a momenton our doorstep, no doubt remembering the time Id driven her away.“Come on, girl.” I said. “This is your home now.” Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she wasreally welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door.

Evenimages of eyes on a charity donation box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put moremoney in a donation box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on thebox.Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany andBettina Rockenbach from the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people actbetter when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behaviour. Theirreport also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched issomehow coded into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realising it.It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the groomingfish cleans other fishes. When other fishes are around, it is gentler. When no other fishes are around,however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish which are supposed to be cleaned.The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to makethem feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it第6 页，总共11 页was a picture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who waslooking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption “I Want You”. It encouraged hundreds ofthousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight theGermans and Japanese.28.

It details ways to control peoples behaviour.C. It tells how to make people work harder.D. It discusses different advertising methods.30. According to the text, which of the following statements is true?A. People pretend to behave better when they are watched.B. Grooming fishes bite other fish in a fish tank when they are alone.C. People donate more money when they feel they are watched.D. Soldiers fought better during World War II because of a poster.31. Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?A. In a newspaper. B. In a scientific journal.C. In an advertising magazine. D. In a science fiction.DFor most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of theenthusiasm or interest that trains, jets, and even bicycles afford to Americans. Dr Christopher Wilk isa member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without theelevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as weknow it would be impossible. In a sense, they argue, the elevators role in American history has beenno less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have beenlocked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spreadhorizontally(水平地), and elevators pushing them towards life in close groups of towering vertical(垂直的) columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to besuch a brief, boring, and even awkward experienceone that can involve unexpectedly meetingpeople with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that werehanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directedall his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind第7 页，总共11 页and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience.“After 150 years,we are still not used to it,”Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learnt to cope with the mixture ofcloseness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from justabout every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today, as the worlds urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, andmore crowded, Americas total number of elevators900，000 at last count, according to ElevatorWorld magazines “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”are a force thats becoming moreimportant than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that welooked seriously at just what kind of force they are.32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The general view of elevators. B. The particular interests of experts.C. The desire for a remarkable machine. D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.33. The authors purpose in mentioning cars is _.A. to contrast their functions with elevatorsB. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD. to explain peoples preference for elevators34. According to Prof Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other lifeexperiences?A. Vertical direction. B. Lack of excitement.C. Little physical space. D. Uncomfortable conditions.35. The author urges readers to consider _.A. the exact number of elevator lovers B. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the role of elevators in city development D. the relationship between cars and elevators第二节(共5 小题；每小题2 分，共10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it.They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problemsand possibly cancer._3
