A new scheme for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities in part of Eastern England． This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads．
Until now the Country Council has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed． Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, provided the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school．
The new scheme is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school． The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it will not undertake to provide free transport to the school． But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster．
Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in． Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a council official has said the cost of parents should be less than $6．50 a tenn．
They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington． The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children． The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new scheme．
The children the Council ran buses for in the past were those__________．
A.whose parents were worried about them
B.who would have had to walk otherwise
C.who could not walk
D.who had to travel a long way
答案：D
解析：
根据第二段第一句可知，到现在为止，乡村政务会只给住在3英里以外的学生提供巴士服务，这表示这些学生离家很远，因此答案选D。

Walking to Exercise the Brain
Do you think sitting and studying all the time will improve your grades?Think again.Getting some exer-
cise may help,too.
New research with old people suggests that taking regular walks helps them pay attention better than if
they didn't exercise.
Previous research had shown that mice learn,remember,and pay attention better after a few weeks of
working out on a running wheel.Mice that exercise have greater blood flow to the brain than those who don't.
Their brain cells also make more connections.
Neuroscientists（神经科学家）from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign wanted to find out if
the same thing is true for people.First,they measured the physical fitness of 41 adults,ages 58 to 77,after
each person walked 1 mile.Then,participants looked at arrows on a computer screen and had to use computer
keys to show which way one particular arrow was pointing.
Adults who were physically fit were faster at the arrow task,and their answers were just as accurate as
their less-fit peers,the researchers found.The fitter participants also had more blood flow to a part of their
brain responsible for paying attention and making decisions.
In a second study , 15 elderly people who completed a 6-month aerobic-training（有氧运动）course were
faster at attention tasks compared with 14 seniors who just did stretching and toning exercises（韵律操）for
the same amount of time.
So,even going for a walk every 2 or 3 days for just 10 to 45 minutes can help.That should be good news
for the elderly.
The effects of exercising on the brains of younger people haven't been studied yet. Still,it can't hurt to
take occasional breaks and go for a walk or run around with friends.Whatever you do,though,don't try to
read and walk at the same time.You could end up hurting yourself!
Walking regularly helps elderly people______________.
A:lose weight
B:become happier
C:concentrate better
D:look younger
答案：C
解析：
第二段提到：针对老年人的新的研究显示，经常运动能让老年人更好地集中精力。
第三段提到：以前的研究证明老鼠在轮子上奔跑数周后它们的学习、记忆力和精神集 中程度都有所提高。运动的老鼠大脑中的血液流量大于不运动的，它们的脑细胞的联系也更 频繁。
第五段提到：研究员发现身体健康的成年人完成箭头测试的速度更快，他们的答案和 身体状况不佳的参加者一样准确。
第七段提到：每两到三天出去散步仅仅10到45分钟都会对健康有益。
最后一段提到：不要一边走路一边看书，你有可能伤到自己。第二篇 本文介绍了一个有趣的现象：蚂蚁的身体能向外释放一种化学物质将自己的死讯告诉给 同伴。

Beauty has always been regarded as something praise worthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine (有男子气概的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. ′When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,′ says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
The author writes this passage to ____________.
A.give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
B.discuss the negative aspects of being attractive
C.demand equal rights for women
D.state the importance of appearance
答案：B
解析：
主旨题。本文虽然也提到了魅力有许多积极方面，但那并不是文章的主要方面。文章主要讲的是魅力给一些女性所造成的不利影响。由此可见，作者写这篇文章的目的是要讨论有魅力的消极方面。故选B。

It can be inferred from the passage that people′ s views on beauty are often ____________.
A.practical
B.supportive

D.one-sided
答案：D
解析：
推断题。由文章第一段可知，几乎每个人都认为有魅力的人会更幸福、更健康。他们的婚姻更美满，并且拥有更令人尊敬的职业。在找工作方面，私人顾问会给他们更好的建议。甚至法官对于有魅力的被告都会手下留情。由此可推出，人们对美的看法往往是带有偏见的，是缺乏事实依据的。故选D，one-sided“有偏见的”。

A.turns out to be an obstacle to men
B.is more of an obstacle than an advantage to women
C.affects men and women alike
D.has as little effect on men as on women
答案：B
解析：
推断题。由文章最后一段可知，有魅力的男性彻底击败了缺乏魅力的男性。而那些被认为最有魅力的女性常常得到最少的选票。由此可推出，在政界，对于女性来说，魅力是一个障碍，而不是优势。故选B。

How honest are Asians today?Do people in the region's smaller communities have more integrity than residents of the megacities?What motivates people to do the right thing?
Over a four-month period late last year,we tried to find out with a simple test.We visited 14 cities,towns and communities in nine countries.In each,we"lost"ten ordinary wallets filled with the local equivalent of ￥10 to￥50 in cash,a local address and phone number,classified ads from local newspapers,handwritten shopping lists,everything needed to make the wallets look real.Then we waited to see what would happen.
The results were more revealing than we expected.Overall,out of 140 wallets we dropped across Asia,80 were returned一 57 percent. A similar experiment in Europe resulted in almost identical totals.Out of 200 wallets dropped in Europe,116 were returnedes 一58 percent.In the United States,the return rate was slightly higher:80 out of 120一67 percent.
In the US,only one person declined to take the money in the wallet when it was offered as a reward for being honest.In Europe,more than a quarter refused to take the money.In Asia,a staggering 72 percent of those who returned the wallets一 58 of 80一said no to any reward.
"I cannot accept a reward for having done the right thing,"said a university student in Seoul. Among those who did accept the money,several said they intended to donate it to a charity or religious organization.
Within Asia we found other interesting results.Two-thirds of all our wallets were retrieved by men.But once the wallet was picked up,it made little difference whether the finder was male or fe-male.In our study,58 percent of the women who picked up wallets returned them and so did 56 percent of the men.
Are the people in Asia's giant population centers less honest than in its smaller cities?It seemed so. The lowest combined rate of return一still a respectable 50 percent一was in the three largest cities visited:Seoul,Bombay and Manila. The best rates of return were in the less populous cities一 Singapore;Inchon,Korea;Trivandrum,India;and Kamakura,Japan一with populations ranging from 180,000 to 2.8 million.
Compared with the US and the Europe,more people in Asia refused the money as a reward for being honest.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned.
答案：A
解析：
文章最后一段提到了“在亚洲人口密集的大城市里的人们不如那里中小城镇的居民诚实”，这是对第一段提出问题的回应。因此这句话是正确的。
第三段提到“在亚洲，有80个钱包也就是57％被归还”，由此可以看出本句的表述是错误的。
文章第三段的数据告诉我们，亚洲的归还率是57%，欧洲的归还率是58%，而在美国归还率为67%。因此本句的表述是正确的。
第四段讲到在美国仅有一人拒绝接受钱包里的钱作为酬谢，欧洲有1/4 的人拒绝，而亚洲有76％的人拒绝。相比而言，亚洲拒绝的人最多，因此本句的表述是正确的。
文章最后一段讲到在亚洲人口密集城市的居民不如人口较少城市的人诚实，但是并不是说全世界都是这样，因此选择C。
在文章最后一段中我们了解到镰仓和新加坡人口较少，但是我们并不知道两者比较起来谁的居民更多，因此选择C。
文章第六段第二句讲到亚洲测试的结果显示2/3的钱包是男士归还的，因此本句的表述是归还的。
