17、he is interested in it and wishes to know something about it. There is 36 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad 37 on what people are curious about.

18、 have a strong wish to know what they are 40 home or taking outside, or why they have come home so 41 or late.

19、 may lead to a small talk 44 often brings harm, loss of honor or disrespect to others, and thus 45 their feelings.

24、 when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a you

25、ng American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand wen

26、t horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife whe

27、n they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. H

28、e called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never

29、seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.56.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _.A. wan

33、g C. impossible D. goodBA couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy

34、in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didnt find him. The mother felt very sad and didnt know how to face her husband.When the father went to the police station after hearing that

35、the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said I love you, darling.The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost h

36、er only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The familys relationship became stronger over that time.Sometimes we s

37、pend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships.

40、ted. B. Careful. C. Hard-working. D. Broad-minded.CHave you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing. By putting thoughts into word

41、s, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process（过程）of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.” Try this experiment. Explain how youll increase your br

42、ain power, even if you have no idea how right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “Ill learn chess,” or “Ill read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. Youll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actual

43、ly do this, youll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now. Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journa（日志）of your ideas the n

44、ext time youre working on a big project, youll probably have more success. Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. Thats an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an ex

45、planation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and youre half-way there. Writers dont always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.

57、 meal, for example, drinking water. It is true that a person should drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy. However, drinking water right after eating or even during a meal may disrupt (扰乱) digestion. It might affect the natural levels of acid and bile (酸和胆汁) that are necessary for prope

58、r digestion. Whats more, drinking cold water after eating might slow down （减慢）digestion. So try to avoid drinking water at least an hour after a meal, and avoid drinking it while eating. Though walking after eating is healthy, doing it immediately after a meal is not. Doing so will make it difficult

59、 for the digestive system to take in nutrients (营养) from the food. Besides, the blood will flow towards other parts of the body, like legs, hands, etc., which will make the digestive tract not have enough amount of blood flow that is needed for proper digestion. So we should wait for at least 2 hour

60、s after eating, and then begin exercising. Sleeping should also be avoided right after eating. This is because going to bed right after a meal will lead to improper digestion. Whats more, such a habit will also make you put on a lot of weight. Therefore, wait for an hour or two, and then go to sleep

61、. Many of us have the habit of drinking tea just after lunch or dinner, which is really unhealthy. The tea leaves are rich in （富含）acid which prevents the protein in the food from digesting. The best time to drink tea is at least one hour after eating. Eating fruits right after a meal may fill the st

62、omach with air and cause discomfort. They will also take time to reach the digestive tract, disturbing the entire process of digestion. To protect your stomach from digestive problems, eat fruits before or after 1-2 hours of a meal. In a word, if you avoid doing all the above things after eating, yo

63、u will surely make your digestion easy, and you will be less likely to have digestive problems.Things to avoid immediately after eating Drinkingwater Drinking water immediately after eating or during a meal may disrupt digestion by (81)_ the natural levels of acid and bile. Drinking cold water after

64、 eating probably reduces（减少）the (82) _ of digestion. Dont drink water until at least an hour has passed after a meal. Going for a walk If we walk right after a meal, our digestive system will have (83)_ taking in nutrients from the food. Walking right after a meal can not result in (84)_ digestion b

65、y causing insufficient (不足的) amount of blood flow in the digestive tract. Dont (85)_ out within two hours after eating. (86)_ Going to bed right after eating can (87)_ the digestive system working properly. Going to bed right after eating can (88)_ one to gain weight. Drinkingtea The tea leaves are

66、(89)_ a large amount of acid, which prevents the protein in the food from digesting. Drink tea at least one hour after eating. Eating fruits Eating fruits right after a meal may fill the stomach with air and make you feel (90)_. Fruits should be eaten before or after 1-2 hours of a meal.第七部分 书面表达（20
