Everywhere you go, you will always find "the white-haired boy", sometimes called "the fair haired boy". He gets special treatment, as if he were above everybody else. You will find him in school, in college, at home, or where you work.

In school, he is the teacher's pet, her darling who can do nothing wrong. Sometimes she lets him do little jobs for her. He comes to class in the morning, all shiny and clean. He is always raising his hand, ready with an answer to the teacher's questions. He knows all the answers. He "gets into your hair", especially if you are at the bottom of the class and the teacher thinks you are stupid. How you hate the white-haired boy!In college, he walks-more often strides-across the school grounds as if he owned them. Sometimes he wears a colorful football or basketball shirt or sweater, with a bright red, or green or yellow college letter proudly worn on the front of it-as a big B, for Bullfinch University. What broad shoulders, what muscles he has! He makes the girls happy by just smiling at them. He has the mark of success on him.

At home, "the fair-haired boy" is his mother's choice, her favorite. Sometimes, he is the oldest son-at times, the youngest. If you are in between, you are out of luck.

On the job, you might meet another of these "white-haired boys"; you cannot escape them. For some strange reason, he is the man who always moves ahead. He gets better and better jobs, with more and more money. You, however, stand still, wondering why, and trying to explain to yourself why you hate him so much. Then, you discover that there are others who share your feelings. One of them asks, "What does he have that I haven't got?" You ask yourself the same question. Finally, there comes a day when you decide to stop hating him. Is it perhaps because he has been made boss and you find yourself working for him?

I was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot Country, Maryland. I have no accurate (准确的) knowledge of my age,
never having seen any record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as
horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus
ignorant (不知情的). I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom
come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or autumntime. A lack of information concerning
my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages,
but I could not tell. Why the same right ought to be taken away from me! I was not allowed to ask my master
about it. He considered all such questions on the part of a slave improper and impolite. The nearest estimate
(估计) I can live makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from
hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named
Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark.
My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the
correctness of this opinion, I know nothing and I have no means to know. My mother and I were separated
when I was but an infant-before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland
from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child
has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it,and hired out on some farm a considerable distance
off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labor.

1. It can be learned from the text that ____.

[ ]

A. the slaves forgot the exact time when they were born
B. the writer didn't know whether his master was his father
C. the writer was about twenty-seven years old in 1835
D. the writer's mother left him as soon as he was born

2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph l refers to ____.

[ ]

A. their birthdays
B. my age
C. a record
D. Maryland

3. According to the passage, when the writer was very young his mother ____.

[ ]

A. ran away
B. was light-skinned
C. had several children
D. was sent to work elsewhere

4. The author was most probably raised ____.

[ ]

A. by his grandparents
B. by an old woman slave
C. with his master's support
D. together with other children

5. How does the writer feel about not knowing his age?

[ ]

A. Curious.
B. Unhappy.
C. Astonished.
D. Ashamed.

Do you wonder why you prefer chocolate to fish, science-fiction movies instead of romantic comedies or jazz rather than rock? The reason may have become obvious long before you were born, coming at the start of your family tree.

Researchers recently looked into heritable (可继承的) effects on consumers shopping habits and discovered people appear to inherit---through genetics, fondness for specific products such as chocolate, movies, jazz, ears and mustard.

“We found that many, though not all of them are in fact heritable or influenced by genetic factors.” said marketing professor Itamar Simonson in Stanford University and assistant marketing professor Aner Sela in the University of Florida.

They surveyed fraternal (异卵性的) and identical (同卵性的) twins on their consumer patterns. Results show far more similarities among responses from identical twins, who unlike fraternal twins share matching genes.

Emily Easley said she can totally see shopping habits being genetic, based on her and her mother’s shopping behaviors

“We commonly purchase the same thing.” said Easley. “One time I came home and was wearing a new purple T-shirt with some floral design around the neck and found that my mom had bought the exact same one, in the same color. It’s always just so interesting to visit her and see my exact clothing in her closet.”

Researchers also revealed people seem to inherit other tendencies that affect financial decisions such as choosing a compromise (妥协) option, avoiding extremes, and looking for the best option available.

Dianne Marlz said her grandmother, mother, daughter and she all have shopped carefully in their lifetimes.

“So is that inherit?” she asked. “It depends on your definition. My children definitely got it from me, as I did from my mother and from hers. But I think it’s more a matter of having observed the behavior and decision-making process of the elder, who had the most impact on each of us. Some of it is definitely taught.”

Researchers are quick to note they don’t completely believe the effects of mature (养育) but rather want to illustrate nurture’s and nature’s combined influence on consumer judgment and choices.

“The current research suggests that heritable and other inherent preference components play a key role in behavior and deserve much more attention in marketing and decision-making research.” they said in a statement.

59. The author presents this passage mainly by ________.

A. providing several examples

B. testing an idea by reasoning

C. analyzing some data

D. describing the result of a research

60. Easley told a story of her mother to _________.

A. complain about her mother wearing her clothes

B. prove her mother had no taste for clothing

C. show her mother’s genes influenced her in shopping

D. express her gratitude to her mother for buying her clothes

61. In the opinion of Dianne, _________.

A. parents should teach children hoe to do the shopping

B. female family members like to go shopping

C. spending money wildly is her family tradition

D. shopping habits are more nurtured than inherit

62. The passage mainly tells us that genes may ________.

A. influence the way you shop

B. change your way of doing things

C. lead to bad behaviors

D. affect all your decisions greatly
