A
My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer’s road trip.
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book Jim Trelease’s The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem. I thought. So I put Roald dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls’s Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring (恢复) electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, “The book you read in the car.”
Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we’ve started something that will pass on to the next generation.
1、Why did the author start reading in the car?
A．She wanted to have a better journey. B．She wanted to keep a family tradition
C．Her children were addicted to music. D．She wanted to kill the time.
2、How did the children react after the author read a few lines?
A．They kept quarrelling. B．They hid themselves.
C．They soon settled down. D．They continued to fight in their seats.
3、What can we learn about the author and her family’s trip to the beach?
A．They were caught in a storm. B．They enjoyed reading on the road.
C．They had a good time on the beach. D．They thought it had passed too quickly.
4、Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Better Reading than Traveling B．Books that Changed My Children
C．Road Trips Full of Challenges D．Reading Makes Great Road Trips

B
Soaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of germs. It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study builds on past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect”.
It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience（良心）by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands. A few years ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadn’t cleaned.
This finding fascinated W. S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything from the past, any kind of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.
He decided to test hand washing’s effect on one kind of bad feeling: the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choice makes us feel that we’ve lose the other. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating（夸大）the positive aspects of their choice.
He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students one CD as a gift. Some students then use liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed（嗅）it. “Actually, you do not need water and soap,” says Lee.
Later, the students again had to rank all the music. People who didn’t wash their hands had the normal response — they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as even more attractive than before. But this wasn’t true for the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same. “they feel no need at all to justify the choice,” say Lee.
But the implications of it just aren’t clear. Schwarz says it’s too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder, but perhaps if they don’t go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.
1、The Macbeth effect refers to the fact that ________.
A．Shakespeare did scientific research before writing Macbeth
B．soaping up one’s hand may help wash away the inner confusion and make a decision
C．people feel less guilty by getting rid of invisible germs from their hands
D．people feel less ashamed after washing their hands
2、According to Lee, after people make the choice ________.
A．they will overstate the goodness of their chosen choice
B．they will feel regretful for not choosing another
C．they will feel free due to the feeling of losing the other choice
D．they will think nothing of their chosen choice any more to calm their inner conflict
3、According to Lee, the hand washers consider the judgment of choice ________.
A．more scientific B．unnecessary
C．a little convincing D．absolutely useless
4、What does Schwarz need to research more?
A．Whether people need to justify their choice.
B．Whether people feel more sorrow after washing hands.
C．Whether washing hands help over a long period of time.
D．Whether washing hands is helpful to make a choice.
5、What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．Is Washing Hands Necessary to Defeat Tension?
B．Washing Hands, Washes Our Mind
C．Washing Hands, Helps Make a Better Choice
D．Washing Hands, Reduces the Stress of Decision
