In China, as in many countries, the north－south divide runs deep. People from the north are seen as hale and hearty, while southerners are often portrayed as cunning, cultured traders. Northerners are taller than southerners. The north eats noodles, while the south eats rice—and according to new research, when it comes to personality, that difference has meant everything.

A study published Friday by a group of psychologists in the journal Science finds that China’s noodle－slurping northerners are more independent, show more “analytic thought” and divorce more frequently. By contrast, the authors write, rice－eating southerners show more qualities traditionally associated with East Asian culture, including more “holistic thought” and lower divorce rates.

The reason? Cultivating rice, the authors say, is a lot harder. Picture a rice paddy, its delicate seedlings tucked in a bed of water. They require careful tending and many hours of labor—by some estimates, twice as much as wheat—as well as reliance on irrigation systems that require neighborly cooperation. As the authors write, for southerners growing rice, “strict self－reliance might have meant starvation”.

Growing wheat, by contrast, the north’s staple grain, is much simpler. One Chinese farming guide from the 1600s quoted in the study advised aspiring farmers that “if one is short of labor power, it is best to grow wheat.”

To produce their findings, the authors evaluated the attitudes of 1，162 Han Chinese students in Beijing and Liaoning in the north and in Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan and Sichuan in the south. To control for other factors that distinguish the north and south—such as climate, dialect and contact with herding cultures—the authors also analyzed differences between various neighboring counties in five central provinces along China’s rice－wheat border.

According to the authors, the influence of rice cultivation can help explain East Asia’s “strangely persistent interdependence”. For example, they say South Korea and Japan have remained less individualistic than Western countries, even as they’ve grown wealthier.

The authors aren’t alone in observing the influence various crops have on shaping culture. Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 book Outliers also drew connections between a hard－working ethic (measured by a willingness to fill out long, boring questionnaires) and a historical tradition of rice cultivation in places such as South Korea and Japan, given that the farming of such crops is arguably an equally boring chore.

During his college years，Rogers  41  a summer in an Idaho logging camp(伐木场).When the boss had to leave for a few days，he put Rogers in charge.

When Rogers finished，Tony  53  the spadeful(铲子)of sand he had held and tears streamed  54  his face.

New Yorkers and visitors to the Big Apple will get to ring in the Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year in the U.S., in style with a fireworks display on the Hudson River set to music written by Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun.

The display is part of the second annual “Happy Chinese New Year: Fantastic Art China” festival held in New York on February 5-10, 2016. The China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), the U.S.-China Cultural Institute and the Cultural Associate of the Committee of 100 announced this year’s events on November 18 at a press conference at the Lincoln Center.

The “Fantastic Art China” festival will feature a larger and more diverse series of artistic and cultural events across New York’s top cultural venues (地点) and landmarks, including the Lincoln Center, Empire State Building and Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

This year’s theme focuses on exploring the complicated relationship between sound and image, said Professor Yu Ding from CAFA, who is also president of Fantastic Art China and in charge of the festival’s design. Lunar New Year, which celebrates the “Year of the Monkey” in 2016, is an opportunity to bring China’s modern art to mainstream America, and the festival serves as  an innovative approach to establishing cultural exchange between China and New York City, Yu said.

UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Tan Dun’s music is a new edition that will be featured  at several venues, including a major art exhibition at the Javits Center, events at the Lincoln Center and the fireworks display on the Hudson, which will take place on the evening of February 6. Five barges (游艇) on the river will launch the fireworks designed by CAFA that will tell a story about celebration and conservation.

“We Chinese are fond of nature, so the best way to celebrate the Lunar New Year is to salute with the sounds of nature, such as sounds of water, stone and bamboo,” said Tan Dun at the press conference, “And it will be fun to use the music of water during the firework display.”

In addition to the fireworks, a special lighting show at the Empire State Building will illuminate New York City during the holiday. 

 Chinese New Year is being recognized as a public school holiday for the first time in New York. Children from the National Dance Institute, which represents 75 schools, will perform traditional Chinese dances at the Lincoln Center and the Javits Center. And, in celebration of the “Year of the Monkey” events will feature a conservation message about the endangered golden monkey in China.

When two Bangs meet

Sheldon Cooper is a scientific genius on the popular American TV show---The Big Bang Theory. He finally met his match last year: Stephen Hawking.

This is not the first time that the scientist has appeared on TV. He has also been on Star Trek (in 1987) and The Simpsons (in 1989). Each time, he played himself.

Hawking, 71, is perhaps the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He has spent his whole life studying the beginning and the end of the universe, including the Big Bang theory.

The Big Bang theory explains the early development of the universe. According to the theory, about 13.7 billion years ago everything was all squeezed together in a tiny, tight little ball, and then the ball exploded. The results of that explosion are what we call the universe.

Hawking has always tried to make science more popular with people. His book: A Brief History of Time was published in 1988. In the book he shares his understanding of the universe in simple language. The book tries to explain many subjects about the universe to common readers, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones (光锥).

Hawking’s achievements are even greater if you think about his disability. When he was 21, Hawking caught a bad illness that slowly stopped him from moving or talking. Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chooses his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer (合成器).

Hawking also believes that there might be aliens in space. However, he believes they are probably very dangerous, so we should not look for them. “I imagine they might exist in very big ships ... having used up all the resources from their home planet,” Hawking said in a British documentary named Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking. 

29. What does the “two Bangs” in the title refer to?

  A. The director of the TV show and the founder of it.

  B. The director and the actor of “The Big Bang Theory”.

C. The scientific genius on the TV show and the one in real life.

D. The founder of the “Big Bang” theory and Sheldon.

30. The Big Bang theory mainly explains _____.

A. how the universe started                               B. what the universe is like

C. how old the universe is                              D. how the universe exploded

31. According to the passage, which of the following about Hawking is TRUE?

A. He was born with a disability.                     B. He played an artist in Star Trek.

C. He uses a computer to communicate.       D. He believes aliens are our friends.

 I ______ to reach the manager for the last two hours but the line is always busy.

A. tried                         B. have tried                C. had tried                 D. have been trying

The bad economic situation set people 　　　 why so many banks and companies are left 　　　 down one by one. 

A. thinking; closing　　　　B. thinking; to be closed

Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list.    36   . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter -- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.

l         Experience fear.

I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind.    37   .

l         Create space.

The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it.    38   . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight(逃避)" response in the body.

l         Control the breath and feel the fear.

Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body.    39   .

With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one.    40   . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.

A.     Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.

B.     We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do.

C.     Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.

D.     So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.      

E.      When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.

F.      But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.

G.     As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

    It was the men's skating finals of the Winter Olympics when l was 16.  Someday I'd be in the Olympics. In fact, it was my dream.

    That night I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brians: American Brian Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. Naturally l was for Brian Boitano,a northern Californian like me. We had skated on the same ice.  I held my breath in amazement. Boitano performed successfully. The gold medal! I jumped in the air when his score went up.

    But what happened next is what I'll never forget. Brian Boitano sat in front of the camera with his coach, surrounded by a group of journalists.  He was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me.  I could never be in the Olympics, I thought.  I could not talk in public like that. Just the idea of a press conference terrified me.

    I loved skating partly because I didn't have to talk. I could express myself with my jumps and dances better.  I didn't have to stand up and give a speech like some teachers expected.  I could feel the blood rush to my face if I thought a teacher was going to call me. I stared at my shoes.  1 was sure I'd make a fool of myself.

    The next day l was at the rink（溜冰场）as usual.1 was practising a combination of jumps that had once seemed impossible.  1 worked very hard the next few years - on the ice and especially off.  After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. They became familiar faces. And they got to know me. So when my big moment came four years after Brian's, I was ready.

    Sometimes I think my biggest accomplishment was not winning the gold but talking to the press afterwards. When you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.

    Fear can stop you dead in your tracks. Fear can kill a dream. What are you afraid of? What scares you more than anything else? This year, walk right up to it and conquer it, step by step.

21. What information can we get from the second paragraph?

A. The author lived a hard life.          

B. The author comes from Canada.

    C. The author once skated with Orser.

    D. The author wished Boitano to win the match.

22. What is one of the reasons why the author liked skating according to the passage?

    A. She could build up her body to be healthier.

    B. It could help her to get closer to her idol.

    C. She could better express herself with body language.

    D. The possibility of her being a world champion was great.

23. What the author felt the most satisfied with is that     ．

    A. she lived up to her coach's expectations

    B. she became a world champion as planned

    C. she managed to overcome her inner fear eventually

    D. she handled the balance between her career and life

24. What does the author mainly want to tell us?

    A. Face a fear bravely.            B.Practice makes perfect.

    C. Bad times make a good man.    D.Failure is the mother of success.

We eat what our friends eat, according to a new study presented at the Agricultural and Applied Economic Association’s 2013 annual meeting in Washington, D.C.

The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (U of I) and Oklahoma State University, provided fresh confirmation of how much our environment influences our eating habits. The scientific team analyzed the lunch receipts from a restaurant in Stillwater, Oklahoma that agreed to use three menus designed by the researchers for three months in 2010. One group of diners — the control group — used the restaurant’s original menus with item and price listings. The second group received menus with calorie counts and the third group used menus that had both calorie counts and a traffic light symbol designed to indicate calorie ranges. A green traffic light meant a food option was 400 calories or less, a yellow light indicated 401 calories to 800 calories and a red light was placed next to choices with more than 800 calories.

By analyzing diners’ receipts, the researchers found interesting patterns in what patrons（老主顾）ordered. They also interviewed servers and found that people who were part of larger parties and received menus with traffic lights typically ordered healthier options, which the researchers say suggests the influence of peer pressure.

The researchers then created a model to assess how customers felt about their choices. Based on the popularity of menu items, the researchers determined the probability that individuals were satisfied with their choice. Interestingly, this gauge（测量标准）of satisfaction was influenced by expected factors such as price and calories, but also by fellow diners’ menu choices as well. They found that even if a customer initially felt less satisfied about their choice of say, a salad, they felt better about it if their friends ordered an item within the same menu category.

“The big takeaway from this research is that people were happier if they were making similar choices to those sitting around them,” study author Brenna Ellison, an economist at the U of I, said in a statement. “If my peers are ordering higher-calorie items or spending more money, then I am also happier, or at least less unhappy, if I order higher-calorie foods and spend more money.” So if you’re hoping to eat better, try dining with friends who do too.

33. The scientific team came to their conclusion by ________.

A. analyzing receipts from diners using specially designed menus.

B. studying information from the receipts

C. comparing calorie counts and ranges that appear in different menus

D. analyzing the connection between diner’s choices and calorie counts

34. According to the research findings, those who ordered healthier options tended to ______.

A. ask the servers for recommendations and notice the calorie counts

B. eat with friends and be concerned about calorie ranges of the food

C. be more affected by their friends’ preference of the choice of food

D. have a much unhealthier eating habit when they ate alone

35. The word “takeaway” is closest in meaning to ________.

    A. conclusion     B. success    C. illustration      D. judgment

Whether you're a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect you’re your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development.    36    No matter your age, there are 5 ways to show respect.

●Respect their belongings.

One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things.  For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal boundaries.    37    And never borrow things without asking first.

●Punctuality .

38    Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew（宵禁）.Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.

●_39    Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated .A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.

●Be kind.

Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them.  Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements.    40

A．Be a good listener.

B．Celebrate with them.

C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect.

D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.

E. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.

F. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.

G. Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.

The other day, BBC broadcast its documentary(纪录片) “Are Our Kids Tough Enough? — Chinese School”, in which the British and Chinese teaching styles competed against each other, with both sides tested after four weeks to see who comes out on top.

In this unique experiment, five Chinese teachers took over a British classroom with 50 teenagers aged 13 and 14 in a British school for one month and taught them in a typical Chinese way: no talking, no questions and experiencing the severe classroom discipline within an extended school－hour from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. In the meantime, another group of students were guided in the British teaching style: free talking, free questioning, thinking for themselves and relaxing learning atmosphere.

At the end of the documentary, all the pupils took part in the same exams in a few subjects. Next is the result.

　　Faced with the result, many netizens in Britain made a strong suggestion to their Education Minister that Britain should learn from China and adopt China’s educational style.

Dear Minister,

____

____. It is said you are collecting opinions from Chinese students. The following is my view.

____

Your sincerely，

When I was a child I had a model railway set. As I drove my train around the track I set myself   21   goals: “Keep the train at a constant speed” and “let it travel as   22    as I can”. This was fun and exciting. Finally, I was   23   to find myself driving the train around bends （弯道）at full speed. Of course, the train went off the rails, but it did not   24   me.

The few   25   I had only served to reassure (使……确信) me that it was possible. I just  26   the majority of failures and kept trying to repeat the   27   of successes, since I had   28   motivation. It was only then that my father  29   what I was doing and stopped me so that I restarted to   30   what I was doing. Interestingly my father had to try hard to get the train   31   out of my hands. I had not realized that I had been  32   them so tightly. For the first time in my life I noticed my heart   33   rapidly.
