Many people think that keeping a diary is something that teenage girls do. It’s seen as a place to write down secrets, things you don’t want anyone else to know. The stereotype (模式化观念) is that only women keep diaries. In fact, keeping a diary is a very old tradition. It can be useful for many different types of people. Many famous people have kept diaries. Many powerful people have kept diaries. Some of these people include famous writers and presidents.
Keeping a diary is said to have health advantages. Studies show that keeping a diary, that is, writing out thoughts daily, can reduce asthma symptoms (哮喘症状).
Writing uses your left brain, which is thoughtful and organized While your left brain is busy, your right brain is free to create and feel. This allows you to use all of your brain power to better understand yourself, others, and the world around you.
The key to successful diary keeping is not stopping any thoughts from coming through. This even means allowing thoughts that influence you to come out in your writing. It helps make your feelings clearer, and is especially useful if a person is faced with a hard decision. Sometimes just writing down the ideas you agree and disagree helps you better understand a problem. You begin to see a problem from different ways. This is helpful if you don’t agree with others.

Like people from most countries, the people of the British Islands speak their own dialects (方言). A dialect is a different version (版本) of a main language. It has different words and is related (相关的) to the culture of the place in which it is spoken. It is usually spoken with a certain accent (口音). Although it may be different, a dialect is usually not so different that an outsider can’t understand what is being said.
Speakers of dialects in Britain are often proud of them. For this reason, when you visit an area with a dialect, especially when it is a place visited by tourists, gift stores will sell books about the local words.
The dialects of Northern Ireland have many words that the other British have never heard of. An unusual example I recently learned from this part of the world is “boke”, which means “vomit (呕吐)”. The nearly poetic (诗意的) words of the Cockneys (伦敦东区的人) of the East End of London are famous throughout the world because they can be so clever and humorous. Here is a piece of rhyming slang (押韵俚语): A “whistle and flute” is Cockney for “suit”.
It is true that there are fewer dialects in Britain today than there were a hundred years ago，and far fewer than there were 200 years ago. The reason is quite clear: The modern world and its chances for communication have made the differences between people much smaller. When people speak and listen to more people from a much larger area than their mothers and fathers did, the differences between the ways they speak get smaller.
This means that there are now far fewer problems understanding each other for the people of the British Islands. Also, English speakers from all over the world can generally understand each other. Of course, without dialects, it will be much more difficult for English as a second language to have such a big success all over the world!
31. According to Paragraph 1, we know that a dialect ______.
A. represents the main language
B. has nothing to do with culture
C. is a local version of a main language
D. is too difficult for an outsider to understand
32. How do people in Britain usually feel about their dialects?
A. They take no notice of them.
B. They are not satisfied with them.
C. They are glad to show them before others.
D. They are too shy to speak before other people.
33. According to the passage, which of the following about the dialects in Britain is TRUE?
A. A “whistle and flute” has a different meaning from “suit”.
B. There are more dialects in Britain than in other countries.
C. The number of the dialects in Britain is getting smaller now.
D. It is easier for English to be more successful without these dialects.

34. Now people of the British Islands can understand each other better because ______.
A. they don’t speak in dialects any more
B. they seldom talk to their mothers and fathers
C. they like to stay there instead of going outside
D. they speak and listen to more people from a much larger area
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The influence of British culture B. Dialects in the British Islands
C. The dialects with certain accents D. The speakers of dialects in Britain
D
Do you look like your name? Scientists say there’s a good chance you do.
This comes from a new study published in a magazine. Researchers from Israel found that our given names may have something to do with our facial (面部的) appearances.
Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university, along with her team, did eight different experiments (实验) in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions: whether people can correctly guess a person’s name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.
During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos of people’s faces and guess each person’s name from a list of four choices. They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent of a random (随机的) guess.
What’s more, when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country, they were able to best match the faces to the names. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.
Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it, to match their names. One study especially backed up this idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by people easily, was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.
“Earlier research has shown there are cultural stereotypes carried by names, including how someone should look. For example, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, influence people’s facial appearances,” Zwebner said.
The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.
“If a name can influence appearance, it can influence many other things. This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,” said Zwebner, who recently had a baby herself.
“As parents, it was really difficult for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meanings of names.”
36. One of the purposes of the experiments is to ______.
A. give the students a chance to know each other
B. explain what influences our facial appearances
C. find out different characteristics carried by different names
D. see if people can correctly guess a person’s name based only on a photo of a face
37. People could match the faces to the names more easily ______.
A. when they did a random guess
B. when the faces are from other countries
C. when the faces are from their own country
D. when they have more knowledge themselves
38. The underlined part “backed up” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “______”.
A. supported B. changed C. compared D. cancelled
39. Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 are mainly to show ____
