A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of （证明有……罪）shoplifting for the second time in six months.
Ana Luz, recently studying for her Phd, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops .
Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road ,Cambridge ,admitted stealing clothes worth ￡9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street London ,on March 9.
Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting（起诉）,said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies’ toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected ,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms（防盗警报装置）.
She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying ,Mr Lemoyne said.

Judge David Azan fined Luz ￡ 50, and warned : “You’ve got a criminal record .If you carry on like this ,you will end up in prison ,which will ruin your bright future you may have.”

When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car，before they left，they asked me about how to find accommodation（住所）．I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses， because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories．
“We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses，”they said．“Because we found that most families were away on holiday．”
I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened．My friends spoke little English，and  they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays” because Spanish word for “holiday” is “vacaciones”．So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”，which in English meant there are free rooms．Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”，because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result，they stayed at hotels！
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish，a word very similar to “DIVERSION” means fun．In English it means that workman is repairing the road，and that you must take a different road when my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign，they thought they were going to have fun．Instead， the road ended in a large hole．
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris，when someone offered me some more coffee，I said “Thank you” in French．I meant that I would like some more．However，to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away！ Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No，thank you”．
28. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ____ ．
A．learning English
B．finding places to stay in England
C．driving their car on English roads
D．going to England by car
29. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ________.
A．they would be able to practise their English
B．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
C．it would be convenient for them to have dinner
D．there would be no problem about finding accommodation
30. “No vacancies” in English means ____．
A．no free rooms B．free rooms C．not away on holiday D．holidays
31. If you see a road sign that says “Diversion”，you will ____
A．fall into a hole
B．have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
C．find that the road is blocked by people
D．have to take a different road

D
Have you noticed a change in NBA players’ dress since the new season began in November?
All players, including Philadelphia’s Allen Iverson, put on business casual clothes whenever they participate in team or league activities.
Don’t be surprised. It’s not like your idol is saying goodbye to hip-hop culture.
They do so only because of the new dress code that NBA has introduced to distance the sport away from gangster chic（痞子气的时髦）.
The rules ban baggy jeans, sneakers（运动鞋）and oversized gold and silver jewellery on many occasions including when players arrive and leave games and make promotional（宣传的）appearances. Jeans must be smart dress jeans.
Players will also now be required to wear a sport coat on the bench when they are not in uniform. The NBA already requires its coaches to wear sport coats, dress shirts, slacks（便装裤子）and shoes on the bench.
Suns forward Shawn Marion thinks it’s a good move : “I think it is appropriate, definitely, on the bench. I think you should be in a nice shirt and slacks.”
But others have a different view on the dress code. Denver Nuggets centre Marcus Camby and Charlotte Bobcats guard Brevin Knight said that players should receive extra money to cover clothing costs. Allen Iverson has even said he would fight such a rule.
32. The story is mainly about ____.
A. NBA’s players
B. NBA’s new dress code
C. the controversy（争议）caused by a new NBA rule
D. what dress NBA players should wear
33. The new rules were made because ____.
A. appearances are definitely important for stars
B. hip-hop culture is contradictory to NBA’s culture
C. the players’ image has affected the sport
D. all the players used to look like gangsters
34. Allen Iverson is mentioned in the second paragraph to ____.
A. show that he’s against the dress code
B. draw the attention of the readers, who may be his fans
C. give us an example of a player who often breaks rules
D. suggest that he used to wear things that the dress code bans
35. From the story we can learn that ____.
A. famous players like Allen Iverson lead the fashion
B. most NBA players are opposed to the new dress code
C. even some coaches find the new rule hard to accept
D. the new dress code only covers certain occasions

Evaluating Sources of Health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. __36__
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. __37__
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. __38__ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. __39__ Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．
__40__ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A．Make choices that are right for you.
B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something.
C．Be sure to work through the critical questions.
D．And examine the findings of the original research.
E．Distinguish between research reports and public health ad
