题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping.
Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim (声称) made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim(受害者) of fraud (欺骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation(名声).
Another problem is that the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue! Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items whose design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.
Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large van pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated(使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late !
Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.

“Everybody in this city wants a car, and I’m no exception. A car brings with it the freedom to travel”, said a friend of mine while reading a car magazine. I might not agree with him, but no doubt he was speaking for a rapidly growing number of middle-class Chinese. While it is true that all the waiting, walking, being part of a crowd, and sweating, are somewhat unpleasant, there are many problems which can arise when our lives rely too much on this invention.
First of all, in terms of polluting the environment, driving a car is the worst act an average person can commit. Beijing now finds itself at the top of the list of the most polluted capital cities in the world with Mexico City in the second place. Research also shows that by 2010 around 90% of total pollutants in Shanghai have come from cars. These pollutions are extremely dangerous to our health. They can damage the lungs, cause cancer, and damage the brain.
Apart from environmental problems, relying too much on cars also creates social problems such as traffic jams, road accidents, and noise pollution. The jeeps that proudly drive through the Hutongs in Beijing as if they are in a race often annoy me, and to make it worse, these drivers seldom respect cyclists.
Of course, we cannot forget the convenience that cars bring us when we need to travel far, but I often find it faster to cycle from one place to another within the city of Beijing, especially with the growing traffic jams.
Since people travel further and more frequently than before, cars will certainly be important in the future. At the same time, however, let us work hard to make sure that this invention brings us a more convenient lifestyle rather than trouble and disease. Let us make good use of cars.

Most people think a person’s taste in food is so unique and random that it couldn’t possibly reveal anything about his/her character.
But other subtle(奇妙的) things that people do can help us make up our mind about a person’s character. Should we really be so quick to dismiss what a person eats?
Dr. Alan Hirsch is a US neurologist (神经科医生) who specializes in the treatment of people who lose their sense of smell or taste.
In order to investigate the possible link between people’s choices of snack food and personality, Hirsch quizzed a sample of 19, 400 people. He made all participants undergo two well-known personality tests.
These tests define each of the volunteers according to widely accepted personality categories. Hirsch could then check his own results against these in order to find interrelation between their choice of snack food and personality type.
Hirsch also tested the volunteers on questionnaires designed to assess depression, because depressive illnesses are known to coincide with losses of sensation and preferences for certain foods.
The volunteers were then tested on their preference for snack foods and the pleasure value they assigned to each food. Hirsch also quizzed married partners on their choices to find out how people with different food choices differed in their compatibility (兼容性) for each other.
The study revealed surprising links between perfectionism and the urges to chew tortilla (玉米饼) chips and even a connection between introversion (内向) and the consumption of cream crackers.
Dr. Hirsch used the same technique of testing for associations between different personality types and the flavors of ice cream people prefer.
Finally, while some will feel this test provides a good assessment of their personality, others will disagree with the assessment.

A. giving his participants tests
B. following his participants

D. treating his participants as patients

A. there are two well-known personality tests on earth
B. depressive illnesses coincide with losses of sensation
C. volunteers are eager to know their own characters
D. what one eats connects with one’s personality
