三、 阅读理解
21. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving tuck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why 1 refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it is an agreement we have and we trust each other to honor it: we don’t go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust. We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
64. Why did the author get impatient while driving?
A. He was lonely on the road.                               B. He was slowed down by a truck.
C. He got tired of driving too long.                       D. He came across too many traffic lights.
65. What was the author’s immediate action when the traffic light turned red?
A. Stopping still.                                                        B. Driving through it.
C. Looking around for other cars.                         D. Checking out for traffic police.
66. The event made the author strongly believe that_____.
A. traffic rules may be unnecessary                    B. doubting others is human nature
C. patience is important to drivers                      D. a society needs mutual trust
67. Why was the author proud of himself?
A He kept his promise.                                   B. He held back his anger.
C. He followed his inclination.                      D. He made a right decision.

22. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words to how they carry themselves while taking orders to the bill’s total.
“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”
So Rick van Baren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home(实得收入). The results were clear---it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up.
“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
56. According to the passage, a customer gives the cab driver a tip for ____.
A. driver’s politeness   B. being there    C. driver’s attitudes           D. driver’s mimicry
57. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages for the three areas researched?

58. According to the passage, we know the writer seems to _________.
A. oppose Mr. Green’s idea about tipping
B. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping
C. give his generous tip to the waiters very often
D. think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonable
