20、rea and then try again.We found an open area. I threw the kite up as John ran off. It rose up and promised a high flight. But John was so pleased that he stopped short to look upward.

24、ats. We are bombarded with the word. Unfortunately, most people dont know that trans fats truly are and why they are so bad for us. A lot of food production companies want to get your dollars by printing “Trans Fat Free” on their label(标签). Sadly, they may not be telling the truth.So what is a trans
25、 fats really? A trans fat is a liquid(液体)fat that is turned into solid. Although there is a very small amount of natural trans fats in meal and dairy products, most of them are created by adding hydrogen to light fat. Food-makers do this because it makes the products last longer on the shelf. Have y
26、ou ever wondered why cookies can still be crispy and “tasty” after six months to a year on a store shelf? Its because of trans fats. Trans fats are typically found in things like donuts, French fries, cookies, microwave popcorn, and potato chips.Why are trans fats bad for you? Trans fats raise the b
27、ad cholesterol(胆固醇) in your body and lower the good cholesterol that the body needs. Fatty foods do cause overweight. Trans fats build up in the body and block book flow to the heart. People whose diet contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of heart disease and stroke.Why can the food-
28、makers label trans fats free when it isnt? Because of the way the nutrition labeling laws work, the FDA(Food and Drug Administration) has allowed that if a food has less than 0.5 grams per serving (一份) it can be classified as trans fats free. Read the label and you may discover that the package actu
29、ally contains 6 servings, and if you just are three of them, you might have eaten 1.49 grams of trans fats.Besides, in most fast food restaurants, ingredient and nutrition information are not listed. You may be shocked if you know what you are eating. An article in Mens Health magazine pointed that
30、in KFC, hydrogenated(氢化的) oils appeared 91 times among the ingredients from the menu list. How do you really know if there are trans fats in the food you are eating? One way to truly understand what you are eating is to read the label. Another is to understand your ingredients. Anything on the label
31、 that says hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, even if the package says “Trans Fats Free”, has trans fats in it. You had better not buy that product. Make a different choice, a choice for your health.53. The expression “are bombarded with” in Paragraph 1 probably means A. are tired of B. hear mu

Buy Trans Fats Free Products Now! D. Dont Eat in Fast Food Restaurant!DThe “halo effect” is a classic findi
34、ng social psychology. It is the idea that general evaluations(评价) about a person (e.g. she is likeable) influence judgments about their specific traits(品质)(e.g. she is intelligent). Hollywood stars give the perfect example. Because they are often attractive and likeable, we naturally consider they a
35、re also intelligent, friendly and so on. That is, sometimes, not true.In the 1970s, well-known social psychologist Richard Nisbett set out to prove the fact that we actually pay little attention to our thought processes in general, especially to the halo effect.Nisbett wanted to examine the way stud
36、ents made judgments about teachers. They had been divided into two groups to watch two different videos of the same teacher, who happened to have a strong Indian accent. One group watched the teacher answer a series of questions in an extremely warm and friendly manner. The second group saw exactly
37、the same person answer exactly the same questions in a cold and distant manner. In one the teacher appeared to like teaching and students, and in the other he came across as someone powerful who didnt like teaching at all.After each group of students watched the videos they were asked to evaluate th
38、e teacher on physical appearance, mannerisms and even his accent (mannerisms were kept the same across both videos). The same as the hale effect infers, students who saw the “warm” one evaluated him more attractive, his mannerisms more likeable and even his accent as more pleasing. This was unsurpri
39、sing as it backed up the idea s on the halo effect. At the same time, for those who had seen the other video, the result was just the wrong way around.The surprise is that students had no clue why they gave one teacher higher evaluations. Most said that how much they liked the teacher had not influe
40、nced their evaluation of his individual traits at all.The halo effect is fascinating and now well-known in the business world. For example, books that have “Harvard Classics” written on the front can ask twice the price of the exact same book without it. The same is true in the fashion industry.So t
41、he next time you consider buying a pair of designer jeans or decide whether you like someone, ask yourself whether the halo effect is operating. Are you really evaluating the traits of the person? This simple check could save you wasting your money or refusing a royal friend. Or perhaps, even if you
42、 do check, youll still never know.56. Why does the author mention Hollywood stars in the first paragraph?A. To help us to evaluate others.B. To explain what the halo effect isC. To show us the background of the storyD. To tell us Hollywood stars are not truly friendly57. Which one do you think is NO
43、T an example of the halo effect?A. You make friends with the people who have good judgmentsB. You prefer to buy the products advertised by a movie starC. You pay more for a simple T-shirt with a famous designers name on it.D. You believe your teachers are intelligent because they appear likeable58.
44、What can we learn from the passage?A. People can do nothing to avoid the halo effectB. People use the halo effect widely in the business worldC. People often wonder how the halo effect works before shoppingD. People sometimes dont realize the halo effect when they make judgments59. The passage is ma
45、inly about A. the cause of the halo effect B. the development of the halo effectC. the evaluation of the halo effect D. the influence of the halo effect七、还原句子。Ive been singing and performing poems since I was six years old. I used to sing for my mothers friends. I have written three books of poems a
46、nd songs. I gave all the money from the books to childrens charities. Money from the second book was spent on homeless children in Bosnia. I visit patients at a local hospital every Saturday morning. I talk and sing for them. I guess thats whats really fulfilling(令人满意的)to me when I sing to someone w
47、ho is dying, and someone who is really sick and who doesnt even know whats happening. Everyone can give love, and love is what everyone wants. Thats a really important lesson to me. Making someone happy makes you happy, and they go on and make others happy and its like a chain(链). You change when you get older, but love is ageless.
