You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I dont know anyone in the office who is better liked than you. You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees personal-life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two wedding gifts, one funeral (葬禮) remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts. Its not only the collectedfrom who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collectedfor feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who dont know them outside the office, who wouldnt even recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives. This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in todays office setting.

In the dentists office,I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one. When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,“Dont worry.The dentist is very good.” “How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently. “Come on,he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork,”the assistant said. “The artwork?”I was puzzled. The chair went back.Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture,right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was!At that moment,I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

The word, it turns out, has a very dark past. The best guess for how “fake” became mainstream, argues Liberman, is that it was a kind used by thieves in the London underworld. But“how it got there, nobody in the world knows, and probably nobody will ever know,” he tells Quartz.Liberman is a professor at the University of Minnesota and the author of Word Origins and How We Know Them. He writes that early records of “fake” as an English adjective appeared around the middle of the 18th century. The word likely comes from cant, or thief jargon(行話).The OED mentions “fake” as a verb starting in 1819, which basically meantto do”in jargon, but also“to kill , wound, or rob”. An entry from a dictionary that year reads :“To fake any person or place, to rob them ;to fake a person may also imply to shoot, wound, or cut; to fake a man out and out, is to kill him.”Liberman traces the word next to Chares Dickens, who used “cly-faker”,where “cly” means pocket, in Oliver Twist. This is how he believes knowledge of “fake”as a word that means to steal, spread. Eventually it became a commonplace English word.28.The underlined word “fake” in Paragraph 1 probably means .A.lying B.true C.common D.interesting29.What can we learn about Anatoly Liberman?A.He is skilled in some foreign languages.B.He is interested in all the English words.C.He lived in England for a long time.D.He likes writing articles in English very much.30.What is mainly discussed in this passage?A.The history of English words.B.Some stories about English words.C.The importance of the English word “fake”D.The origins of an English word.31.What can we infer from this passage?A.We must focus on the words of Donald Trump.B.We should study English words very carefully.C.“Fake” likely comes from words used by a class of people.D.Anatoly Liberman likes to trace the commonplace English words.DPeople can be addicted to(沉溺于) different things e.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(強迫的):they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit(以賒欠方式), charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they dont need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets(預算), but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider peoples needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy(療法)” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.32. According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money _.A. and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys B. in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in lifeC. just to meet his or her strong psychological need D. and feels he or she is cheated33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. People spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.B. Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of peoples spending habits to increase sales.C. Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do.D. Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.34. What is the text mainly about?A. The psychology of money-spending habits. B. The habits of compulsive spenders.C. A special psychology of bargain hunting.D. The use of the psychology of spending habits in business.35. From the text we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters _.A. are really unreasonable B. need special treatmentC. are really beyond drugs D. can never get any help to solve their problems with money第二節(jié) (共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。We just went Christmas shopping this weekend, just to pick up a little here and there for the kids. 36 We have discovered how to save time and money through a little research.

This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 41 in with severe burn on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n) 42 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle. Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 43 . The doctor described the 44 , which caused the burns.
