Specialists in marketing have studied how to make people buy more food in a supermarket. They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the more interesting and more expensive things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you see it and want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. One study showed that when a supermarket moved four products from floor to eye level, it sold 78 percent more.
Another study showed that for every minute a person is in a supermarket after the first half hour, she or he spends $50. If someone stays forty minutes, the supermarket has an additional $5.00. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money.
Some stores have red or pink lights over the meat so the meat looks redder. They put light green paper around lettuce (生菜) and put apples in red plastic bags.
So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decided you should buy it.

Although each baby has an individual schedule of development, general patterns of growth have been observed. Three periods of development have been identified(确定),including early infancy (幼儿期),which extends from the first to the sixth month; middle infancy, from the sixth to the ninth month; and late infancy, from the ninth to the fifteenth month. Whereas the newborn is concerned with his or her inner world and reacts primarily to hunger and pain in early infancy, the baby is already aware of the surrounding world. During the second month, many infants are awake more and can raise their heads to look at things. They also begin to smile at people. By four months, the baby is searching for things but not yet grasping them with its hands. It is also beginning to be wary(谨慎的) of strangers and may scream when a visiting relative tries to pick it up. By five months, the baby is grabbing objects and putting them into its mouth. Some babies are trying to feed themselves with their hands.
In middle infancy, the baby concentrates on practicing a great many speech sounds. It loves to imitate actions and examine interesting objects. At about seven months, it begins to crawl, a skill that it masters at the end of middle infancy.
In late infancy, the baby takes an interest in games, songs, and even books. Progress toward walking moves through standing, balancing, bouncing in place, and walking with others. As soon as the baby walks well alone, it has passed from infancy into the active toddler(蹒跚学步)stage.
51. What is the main subject of this reading passage?
A. Growth in early infancy. B. The active toddler.

Hemingway was born in Illinois, his family took him as a boy on frequent hunting and fishing trips and so acquainted him early with the kinds of virtues (美德)such as courage and endurance, which were later reflected in his fiction (文学作品). After high school, he worked as a newspaper reporter and then went oversea to take part in World War I. After the war he lived for several years in Paris, where he became part of a group of Americans who felt strange from their country. They considered themselves a lost generation. It was not long before he began to publish the powerful novel “The Sun Also Rises”. His subjects were often war and its effects on people, or contests, such as hunting or bullfighting, which demand stamina and courage.
Hemingway's style of writing is striking. His sentences are short, his words simple, yet they are often filled with emotion. A careful reading can show us, furthermore, that he is a master of the pause. That is, if we look closely, we see how the action of his stories continues during the silences, during the times his characters say nothing. This action is often full of meaning. There are times when the most powerful effect comes from restraint (适度).Such times occur often in Hemingway’s fiction. He perfected the art of expressing emotion with few words.

A.money B. time C. energy D. weapon

Task 4(3 points each, 15 points in all)
Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No. 61 through No. 65).
Trees have a spectacular(壮丽的 ;奇观的)survival record. Over a period of more than 400 million years, they have evolved as the tallest, most massive, and longest-lived organisms ever to inhabit the Earth. Yet trees lack a means of defense that almost every animal has: trees cannot move away from destructive forces. Because they cannot move, all types of living and nonliving enemies-fire, storms, microorganisms, insects, other animals and, later, humans-have wounded them throughout their history. Trees have survived because their evolution has made them into highly compartmented (分隔的)organisms: that is, they wall off injured and infected wood.
In that respect trees are radically different from animals. Fundamentally, animals heal, they preserve their life by making billions of repair, installing (安置) new cells or rejuvenated (恢复活力的) cells in the positions of old ones. Trees cannot heal; they make no repairs. Instead, they defend themselves from the consequences of injury and infection by walling off the damage. At the same time they put new cells in new positions; in effect, they grow a new tree over the old one every year. The most obvious results of the process are growth rings, which are visible on the cross section of a trunk, a root, or a branch.
61. The author's main purpose in this article is to explain the
A. life cycle of a tree B. way trees survive
C. importance of trees to human progress D. dangers trees face
62. The author describes trees as all of the following EXCEPT .
A. tall B. green
C. massive D. long-lived
63.The author implies that almost every animal is able to protect itself from destructive forces by doing which of the following?
A. Moving away. B. Calling for help.
C. Climbing up a tree. D. Remaining with its group.
.As it is used in the last sentence of Paragraph l, the pronoun “they” refers to _ .
A. enemies B. animals
C. humans D. trees
65.According to the context of the passage, you can guess the meaning of the verb " evolve" is .
A. (of people or animals) reaches the stage of full development
B.breed (farm animals); grow or produce (crops)
C. (of plants, animals, etc.) gradually develop from a simple form to a more complex one
D. (cause somebody /something) to grow gradually

2. How I Finance My College Education
While the cost of college education has risen sharply in the past few years, students have several ways to pay for their college tuition and fees. Mostly their parents will pay. And some students may apply for a bank loan and others wiU try to find a part-time job. Besides, many students will be awarded a scholarship. In these ways, students can pay, at least partly, for their college education.
For me,I’ll let my parents pay for my college education. This is because my parents have once promised to do so if only I could be admitted into a university. And what’s more, I want to concentrate on my studies during my college years and I won't let the tuition problem distract me from my school work.
Therefore, depending on my parents is my reasonable choice. Only in this way can I fulfill my school work. Only in this way can I fulfill my dream of future and my parents will feel rewarded and be proud of me.
