The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That’s one of the 36 rules. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 37 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their 38.
As the bus came near the Mile, a 39 suddenly rang out, “40! This is your driver speaking.” We 41 the back of the driver’s head. “Put your papers down. All of you.” The 42 came down. “Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go 43.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped in a red scarf. I saw her 44 every day. Our eyes met. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
Our voices were 46. For many of us, these were the 47 words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 48, to the strangers beside us. We couldn’t help 49. There was the feeling of relief(解脱) that we were not being robbed. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50. “Good morning, neighbor.” It was not so 51 after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, and many laughed.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a warm sound I had 53 heard before in bus No. 151.
When I 54 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day I was 55 off happily.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we can’t see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly in the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter to the eye and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can’t see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
56. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we think about our eyes B. we can’t see clearly
C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading
57. According to the passage, who is more likely to be nearsighted?
A. A tailor. B. A doctor. C. A guard. D. A painter.
58. People who are farsighted ________.
A. can’t do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty in reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
59. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________.
A. with wide open eyes B. with half-shut or narrowed eyes
C. straight at it D. at it indirectly
B
What would life be like without rich, creamy, mouthwatering, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate?
Life would be bitter for most Americans. They spend about $13 billion a year buying all sorts of chocolate treats.
However, for the African children who toil under slavelike conditions on cacao plantations, life is not sweet. The cacao bean is the main ingredient in the chocolate. According to a 2002 survey by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and the US Agency for International Development, about 284,000 children work in dangerous conditions on cacao farms in western Africa.
More than half those children are younger than 14. Many were sold into forced labor to work 12 hours or more a day on the cacao plantations.
A number of international organizations, including several African governments, recently began a program to eliminate(消除) child labor on cacao plantations. Under the program, government officials will remove children from abusive working situations while teaching farmers about child labor issues.
The program will also make borrowing money easier for cacao farmers. Officials hope farmers will use the money to invest in their farms and hire paid laborers.
60. The cacao bean is the main ingredient in _______.
A. treats B. coffee C. chocolate D. cigarettes
61. How many children under 14 work on cacao farms in western Africa?
A. About 284,000. B. About 142,000.
C. About 467,000. D. About 876,000.
62. From the passage, you can reasonably conclude that _______.
A. cacao farms in western Africa rely heavily on child labor
B. children in Africa know how to make the best chocolate
C. candy bars sold in the United States are made on plantations in Africa
D. eating too much chocolate is bad for your health
63. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Too Much Chocolate B. Chocolate: Sweet Success
C. Slaving over Chocolate D. Chocolate Grows on Trees
C
“Mind your own business,” we’re told. “Don’t talk about others behind their backs.” The problem with this advice is that, not only is it unrealistic, it’s also counterproductive(起反作用的).
Common sense holds that gossip（流言蜚语） hurts people’s feelings and damages relationships. But recent research shows the opposite — that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip.
Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior. “If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly, his gossip is letting you in on something,” says Dr. Ralph Rosnow of Temple University. “Gossip says: these are the boundaries and you are crossing them. You’re not abiding by the rules and you’d better get back in line.” Seen this way, gossip is a way to communicate criticism(批评) without conflict(冲突), giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face.
On the other hand, what about ill-willed gossip, the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don’t and, in nearly every country in the world, gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers. According to researchers, however, this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正确地). “If we read bad news about well-known people, or get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffee, our own problems begin to pale in comparison,” says Dr. Jack Levin of Northeastern University.
However, that doesn’t mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing, either. Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stress. This might be because while they’re busy talking about other people, they’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them.
64. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To encourage us to spread gossip about others.
B. To prevent us from spreading gossip about others.
C. To make a comparison between good gossip and bad gossip.
D. To recognize certain positive functions of gossip.
65. According to the passage, people in general think that _______.
A. it’s a bad habit to gossip
B. nobody pays attention to gossip
C. not all the gossip you hear is worth believing
D. it’s necessary to have a nice gossip with a friend or neighbor
66. The underlined phrase “abiding by” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_______”.
A. making B. breaking
C. obeying D. changing
67. It could be learned from the passage that _______.
A. people under much stress enjoy gossiping about others
B. in a way gossip helps us deal with our own problems correctly
C. in fact most people tend to believe gossip
D. the more there is gossip, the stronger relationships become between people

We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours’ sleep alternating (交替) with some 16-17 hours’ wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with (与……相符) the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what this cycle can be modified.
The question is not only an academic one. The case, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night, is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls insistently for round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed(颠倒的) routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 am one week, 8 am to 4 pm the next, and 4 pm to 12 midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.
One answer would seem to be a longer period on each shift, a month, or even three months. Recent research by Bonjer of the Netherlands, however, has shown that people on such systems will revert to their normal habits of sleep and wakefulness during the weekend and that this is quite enough to destroy any adaptation to night work built up during the week.
The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a crop of permanent(永久的) night workers whose nocturnal（夜间的） wakefulness may last through all weekends and holidays. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown. She found a high incidence of disturbed sleep, digestive（消化的）disorder and domestic disruption (扰乱) among those on alternating day and night shifts. But no abnormal occurrence of these symptoms（症状） among those on permanent night work.
71. The article is mainly about _______.
A. how the normal human daily cycle works
B. how to deal with the problem of shift work
C. a research on the normal human daily cycle
D. how to work better
72. According to the passage, the main problem about night work is that _______.
A. your life is disturbed by changing from day to night routines and back
B. people hate the inconvenience, the main problem on night shifts
C. not all industries work at the same hours
D. it is difficult to find a crop of good night workers
73. It can be inferred that the best solution to the problem seems to be _______.
A. not to change shifts from one week to the next
B. to make periods on each shift longer
C. to employ people who will always work at night
D. to find ways of selecting people who adapt quickly
74. If something works round the clock, it works _______.
A. all day long B. all the time
C. all night long D. at a regular pace
75. Which of the statements is TRUE?
A. Automation helps solve the problem of working at night.
B. A person can work more efficiently by frequent changes between day shifts and night shifts.
C. The adaptation to night work can be destroyed if the person reverts to their normal habits for even one day or two.
D. Those permanent night workers are more likely to have such a symptom as digestive disorder.
