A traveler came out of the airport. There were a lot of taxis. He asked every taxi driver about his name. Then he took the third one. It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel. “How much does it cost for the whole day?” The man asked. “100 dollars,” said the taxi driver. This was very dear (昂貴的), but the man said it was OK.

The taxi driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening they went back to the hotel. The traveler gave the taxi driver 100 dollars and said, “What about tomorrow?” The taxi driver looked at the man and said, “Tomorrow is another 100 dollars.” And the man said, “That’s OK! See you tomorrow.” The taxi driver was very pleased.

The next day the taxi driver took the traveler everywhere again. They visited all the parks and museums again. And in the evening they went back to the hotel.

Where do you come from?” He asked. “I come from New York.” “New York,” the taxi driver said, “I have a sister in New York. Her name is Susan. Do you know her?” “Of course I know her.

Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation（感覺）of warmth encourages emotional warmth. While a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise deeisions – those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.

Psychologists （心理學(xué)家）have known that one person’s feelings of another’s “warmth”is a powerful factor in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is an important thing needed to be thought about carefully. Even there are studies showing that a “cold” person may be more skillful. Much of this is deep into very early childhood experiences. Bargh argues, when babies’ sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, especially warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “ mother ” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to give strength to the need for warm physical touch from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.

Feelings of “ warmth ” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those sensations influence judgment in many countries.

To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh did an experiment in which 41 college students took part in. A research assistant handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that. The students were asked to rate （評估）the personality of “Person A” based on the description. Those who had just held the warm drink thought Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.

56. According to Paragraph 1. a person’s emotion may be affected by _______.

A. the visitors to his office

B. the psychology lessons he has

C. his physical feeling of coldness

D. the things he has bought online

57. The writer mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that _______.

A. adults should develop social skills

B. babies need warm physical touch

C. caregivers should be healthy adults

D. monkeys have social relationships

58. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. feelings of warmth and coldness are studies worldwide

B. social skills do not come from physical experiences

C. physical temperature influences how we see others

D. skillful persons are often cold to others

59. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships.

B. Developing Better Drinking Habits.

C. Experiments of Personal Emotion.

D. Physical Sensations and Emotions.

Dear Editor,

    I am writing to ask what has happened to the young. They are not as polite, hardworking or clever as my generation(一代人). I'll give you an example.

    Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. it was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers(青少年) sitting on the seats near me. I don't know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(懷孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They slowly did so but gave me an impolite look. I took off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn't follow me.

    I worried about the future of our country. How could these young people become responsible (有責(zé)任心的)workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after School instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this "lost generation ".

Dear Editor,

I read Mr. Johnson’s letter about the problem of today’s young people with much interest.

He described teenagers on a train not giving seat to a pregnant woman and her daughter. I was the woman. We must have seen things differently. I found the teenagers helpful and kind. Did Mr.

Johnson see the teenagers help me off the train? Did he see them carry me shopping bags to a taxi for me? Did he see them friendly to my daughter? Obviously(明顯地) not.

"Older" people often say today's youth isn't as good as their generation. Their parents said that about them. Mr Johnson must accept(接受.) that the world is changing and young people are changing with it. I find today's young people are changing with it. I found today's young people mostly kind and more fun than my generation.

Perhaps Mr. Johnson should really try to get to know some young people before he calls them the "lost generation".

2. When Mr. Johnson was young, he usually          after school.

    A. went to the library                        B. read newspaper

    C. went to McDonald' s                      D. helped people in trouble   

3. In the second letter, Mrs. Black         .

     A. discussed the problem with the old

     B. told another story about the young people 

     C. wanted to show her thanks to the young people

     D. wanted the "older" to understand the young

4. Which of the following is the correct order of what happened?

    ①Mrs. Black wrote to the newspaper.

 ②Mrs. Black took a taxi With her daughter.

③Mrs. Black got on the train with her daughter.

    ④Mr. Johnson asked the young to give her seat.

    ⑤Mr. Johnson thought the young might follow him.           

    A. ②③④⑤①    B. ③②④⑤①       C. ③④⑤②①    D. ⑤③①④②

5. From the two letters we can learn that             .

      A. Mrs. Black didn't like the old like Johnson 

      B. people have different ideas about the young 

      C. older people are more helpful than the youth  

      D. people should talk more about the same story

About a week ago，when I was playing basketball at our local park，I noticed a small group of boys picking on a smaller，skinnier boy．They were   1   him names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked dirt in his face．  2  I saw that，I walked over to the group．

I stepped   3  them and the smaller boy，and asked them politely what this boy had done worthy of   4  they were doing to him．One of the boys replied，"He's weird．" At that，I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird，and the   5  was" No．" So，I asked another boy what the word" weird"  6  ，and he said，" Different．"That was my cue（暗示）．I told them that everyone is  7  ，and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them．They all stood   8  for a moment，and then the most amazing thing happened．One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry to him．He  9  to let him play with them．

I thanked the boy for being so   10  ．As I looked around，I realized that there were dozens of other people at the park   11  no one else had stopped to help this boy．I felt happy that the boy was strong enough to stand up against his friends to  12  someone in need，but I felt sad that  13  else had even taken a second look．
