When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life，she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of a cliff and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.

Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall，who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90­minute search.

Three days later，a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holden if he would like his dog back.

A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope，found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

The dog had initially been knocked unconscious but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said. “It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.

It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle”．

In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics.

One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores，the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.

Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.

When it comes to the selling of houses，businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.

24.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?

   A．To save customers time.                        B．To show they are high quality foods.

   C．To help sell junk food.                            D．To sell them at discount prices.

25.According to Paragraph 3，which of the following encourages customers to buy?

   A.  Opening the store early in the morning.  

   B.  Displaying British wines next to French ones.

   C.  Inviting customers to play music.          

   D.  Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.

26.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?

   A．The house structure is a key factor customers consider.

   B．The more costly the house is，the better it sells.

   C．An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.

   D．A good first impression increases sales.

27.What is the main purpose of the passage?

   A．To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.

   B．To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.

   C．To report researches on customer behavior.

   D．To show dishonest business practices.

Recently the Barbican Museum in London held an exhibition called the Rain Room. During the time this exhibition was open, my twitter stream was filled with photos of people standing in the rain room, accompanied by the caption “rain room@ the barbican!” and a location attachment to prove that they were indeed in the rain room.

This got me thinking. What were people actually saying by Tweeting about their visit? I think all they were doing was fulfilling the obligation that we have to share. Not sharing in the sense of treasuring a moment with people close to us, but sharing in the sense of “tell the world that I am doing a thing”.

It’s not sharing; it’s showing off. When we log in to Facebook or Twitter we see an infinitely updating stream of people enjoying themselves. It’s not real life, because people only post about the good things whereas all the dull or deep stuff doesn’t get mentioned. But despite this obvious fact, it subconsciously makes us feel like everyone is having a better time than us.

This is the curse of our age. We walk around with the tools to capture extensive data about our surroundings and transmit them in real-time to every friend we’ve made. We end up with a reduced understanding of reality because we’re more concerned about choosing a good Instagram filter(过滤器) for our meal than how it tastes.

I don’t think that it’s inherently（内在的、固有的）wrong to want to keep the world updated about what you’re doing. But when you go through life robotically posting about everything you do, you’re not a human being. You’re just a prism that takes bits of light and sound and channels them into the cloud.

The key thing to remember is that you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you are detracting from them because all your efforts are focused on making the look attractive to other people. Once you stop seeing things through the eyes of the people following you on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, you can make your experiences significant, because you were there and you saw the sights and smelled the smells and heard the sounds, not snapped a photo of it through a half-inch camera lens.

28.What do we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A. Rain Room exhibition received a large audience in London.

B. Most of people feel obligated to share their experience with friends.

C. Many people want to inform others of their experience by Tweeting.

D. All people having gone to the Rain Room took pictures.

A. we are surrounded by various tools to capture our daily data

B. we are more concerned about how our life seems to be to others

C. we transmit our experience immediately to everybody we know

D. we gain more extensive perception of reality with digital tools

    The desire to be noticed by peers（同龄人）is a natural tendency. Your style—the way you dress up, the way you carry yourself, the trends you follow—plays a key role in helping you stand out from the others.   31   The following tips can help you.

1. Be yourself.

Why be a second-rate version of anybody else when you can be the first-rate version of yourself. Nothing will help you stand out of the crowd more than your own features because there can be only one you. Everyone has their own belief, their own way of thinking, their own experiences that shape their styles. However, self-doubt and fear of disapproval drive many to abandon their own ways and follow what everyone else is doing.   32 

2. Keep an open mind.

Open-mindedness helps you see things from a different perspective, understand others, find opportunities, and learn from others.   33   There are several styles that you should explore and determine which suits your own personality. Nobody knows what fashion you are enthusiastic about. But you should be clearly aware of your own true feelings about it.

3. Keep up with the recent trends

Fashion is always changing.   34   As society changes, so does fashion. Changing trends reflect the changes in people's taste. Similarly, your senses of fashion changes as you gain more experiences in life. Keeping track of the latest fashion will help you redefine your style.

4. Wear your confidence

Your attitude towards dressing can make a significant difference on how you look. You can wear a very beautiful dress, but if you can't carry it with confidence, it will not look good on you.   35  . Don't wear an uncomfortable dress just because everyone or your friend is wearing it. Remember, it's okay to have your own style as long as you are confident with it.

A. Also, it tells a lot about your personality.

B. What worked yesterday may not work today.

C. Copying others will make you just another face in a crowd.

D. Having an open mind can be very helpful in defining your style.

E. On the other hand, even an average dress looks great on people who wear it confidently

F. It is not absolutely necessary to follow every new trend, and you can enjoy the ones you like.

G. Simply following the fashion trends or wearing expensive clothes will not help you get a distinct style.

    Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he senses that he    56   (stare) at, he may feel uncomfortable.

    The same happens in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see    57    anything is wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel uncomfortable. Eyes do speak, right?

       58   (look) too long at someone may seem to be rude. But things are different when   59   comes to a stare at the opposite sex. If a man    60   (glance) at a woman for more than 10 seconds, that means he wishes to make her know he is admiring her. Normally, the speaker in conversation will look at the listener at times to make sure that the listener does pay attention to   61     the former is saying. A poor liar usually makes himself    62   (expose) by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest    63   (communicate). Actually, continuous eye contact exists in lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time to show love that words cannot convey.

       64   (evident), eye contact should be done according to the specific situation and the relationship    65    two people.
