Directions : In this part,there are four passages, each of which is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
According to psychologists(心理学家),all emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or goo
D.When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world.It can be created by a person ’ s thoughts.
Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.
Psychologists think that there are two types of emotions :positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfie
D.They include anger, fear, despair,sadness and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions inorder to be happy.
Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try and means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly.

Passage 2
Do you ever automatically say “God bless you” when someone sneezes? Did you ever cross your fingers when making a wish? Most people who do these things never think about why they do them. They just do them.
But there is a reason. Both acts are meant to insure good luck. They are little superstitions that have come down to us from an earlier time, when everybody believed in good and evil spirits. And even in our modern world,when men are traveling to the moon,we are still practicing some of these ancient habits in our daily lives.
In ancient times, men believed that the soul lived in the hea
D.Every time someone sneezed, he was risking the danger of dislodging that soul and blowing it out the nose into the outside world.So,as insurance against a lost soul, people would say “God bless you” to he sure that God would catch the soul and return it to its rightful owner.
Some people today toss a bit of salt over their left shoulder if they happen to spill any at the dinner table. This practice once had a serious purpose. In an earlier time, men believed that evil spirits always stood on their left side and good spirits on the right. So any time they spilled some of the precious stuff, they would throw a bit of it over their left shoulder to keep away the evil spirits.
Since the evil spirits stood on the left, and the good spirits on the right, the right side was considered the lucky side of the body. Putting your best foot forward meant starting out on the lucky side, with your right foot first. That was a guarantee of good luck at whatever you were about to do. We still speak on putting your best foot forward”,although we don’t always start walking with the right foot.

Passage 3
We don’t have beds in the spacecraft, but we do have sleeping bags. During the day, when we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we have chosen to sleep.
On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft ; the craft’s computers call us on the radio.
On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit(轨道) the sun “ rises ” and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes, then it “ sets ” as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.
It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut (宇航员) sleeps differently :some sleep upside down, some sideways, and some right side up. When it ‘ s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float(漂浮)up to the flight deck(驾驶舱), Then I get into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me.

Passage4
To understand the marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods,and then relied on “ persuasive salesmanship ’,to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.
Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale,the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.
This concept does not imply that business is benevolent(慈普的)or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction— the firm and the customer—and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant part of the public brought about a prompt restoration(恢夏)of the Classic Coke,which was then marketed alongside new. King Customer ruled!
