Millions of British people have ditched the traditional „thank you‟ and replaced it with the le formal „cheers‟, according to a survey.Although the average person will say „thank you‟ nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to throw in a „cheers‟ or „ta‟ where it‟s needed, rather than risk sounding old fashioned.One in 20 now say „nice one‟ instead, while younger generations are more likely to offer a „cool‟ than a „thank you‟.„Merci‟, „fab‟ and even „gracias‟ were also listed as common phrases to use, as was „much appreciated‟.One in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the Food Network UK for Thank You Day, which is marked on November 24, 2011, said a formal „thank you‟ was now not often needed in everyday conversation.More than one in ten adults said they regularly won‟t say thank you if they are in a bad mood.Most people declared that saying thank you was something drilled into them by their parents.A huge 70 percent of those questioned will say thank you to a person‟s face without even meaning it, while a fifth avoid saying it when they know they should — on at least two occasions every day.It seems our friends and family get the brunt(压力)of our bad manners with half admitting they‟re not good at thanking those closest to them — many justifying(为……辩解)the lack of thanks because their family „already know I‟m grateful‟.When spoken words won‟t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people.A third will still send a handwritten thank-you note — but 45 percent admit it‟s been more than six months since they bothered to send one.A quarter of British people say thank you with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone.Another 15 percent bake a cake.It follows that 85 percent of people will be annoyed at not getting the gratitude(感激)they feel they should receive.56.Most of the people who took part in the survey say that they say “thank you” ________.A.when they are in good moodB.completely out of habitC.when they feel truly gratefulD.purely out of politene 57.The underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.A.abandonedB.usedC.sharedD.grasped
58.It can be learned from the paage that _______.A.different ways of expreing gratitude are all fashionable B.people should avoid saying “thank you” nowadays C.a thank-you note is still appreciated by most people D.people in a bad mood never say “thank you”
59.Which of the following is TRUE according to the paage?
A.Most people expre their gratitude to others by buying food for them.B.About fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should.C.Most people may feel natural when they fail to receive others‟ gratitude.D.Many people think it unneceary to say thanks to their family members.B

The Importance of Setting Speech Goals
A speech is a wonderful opportunity to inform, persuade or entertain.The best speeches often take on a combination of all three of these components.However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals.Goals keep you, your speech and your audience focused.What a goal is
In the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes to accomplish.For example, the goal of a eulogy(颂歌)might be to celebrate the life of a loved one.The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate and persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question.Why a goal is important
Without a goal, a speech is without direction.The goal informs the structure and content of the speech.For example, if a speech‟s goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them, the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal.A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.A goal is incredibly important to the speech‟s ability to connect with an audience.If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well.This severely reduces the effectivene of the meage.Aside from informing the audience of the content and structure, a speech‟s goal drives the speaker to greater heights.If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject, but never establishes the goal, they won‟t know where to start in the research, organizing and writing of the speech.___________________________________
If you have been charged with(被委以)delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first.There are several things to take into consideration.First, think about who you will be speaking to.The demographic(人口统计)of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them, or whether they will be able to sit through.Second, think about the topic itself.If the topic is something controversial, it may worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the iue.Finally, consider your resources.A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research, and sometimes takes more time to write.63.According to the paage, what three components does the best speech combine? A.Informing, delivering and entertaining.B.Informing, persuading and entertaining.C.Informing, writing and delivering.D.Informing, writing and persuading.64.The goal of a speech at a political gathering might be _______.A.to persuade the audience to vote for a candidateB.to celebrate the life of a person you admire C.to entertain the audience with humor and magic
D.to persuade the audience to buy new products
65.All the following indicate the importance of a speech goal EXCEPT that _______.A.a speech will lose its direction without a goal
B.a speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speech
C.a speech goal can help the speaker know about the research, organizing and writing D.a speech goal makes it poible for the speaker to achieve whatever he wants in life 66.Which of the following can be filled into the blank as the subtitle for the last paragraph? A.How to achieve a speech goal
B.How to deliver a difficult speech
C.What to consider to establish a goal
D.What to consider to deliver a speech D
Kepler 22b, a planet more like Earth than any yet discovered, has been identified as a potential future home for mankind.Kepler 22b contains both land and water and has temperatures which average around 22℃.It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life.It is, however, 600 light years from Earth.The planet, where a year lasts 290 days, was first spotted two years ago.However, NASA scientists using the agency‟s Kepler space telescope have now concluded that it offers the best hope yet for future human habitation outside the Solar System.One of the key standards for a planet to be habitable is that it remains roughly the right distance from its main star to be neither too cold nor too hot.This range of ideal temperatures is known to scientists as the “Goldilocks” zone, as the temperature is “just right” for life.Bill Borucki, Kepler principal investigator at NASA Ames Research Centre, said: “We have now got good planet confirmation with Kepler 22b.We are certain that it is in the habitable zone and if it has a surface it ought to have a nice temperature.”
There are now three planets outside the system, known as exoplanets, which experts believe could potentially be colonised(建殖民地)by future generations.In May, French astronomers identified Gliese 581d, which is far closer at around 20 light years away.It is about six times the ma(质量)of Earth and is one of a family of at least six planets.In August, a team from Switzerland reported that another planet called HD 85512b and 36 light years away seemed to be habitable.The planet is in the constellation of Vela, measuring around 3.6 times the Earth‟s ma.According to an online catalogue that indexes bodies outside our solar system, a total of 47 exoplanets and exomoons are potential habitable candidates but not enough research has been done to be sure.67.Whether a planet is suitable for mankind to live on doesn‟t depend on ________.A.whether there are proper temperaturesB.whether it is close enough to Earth C.whether there is atmosphere around itD.whether there is land and water on it 68.In what way is Kepler 22b like Earth? A.Its ma.B.Its size.C.Its conditions.D.Its shape.69.It can be learnt from the paage that ________.A.Kepler 22b is closer to Earth than Gliese 581d B.Kepler 22b is most likely to be habitable of all C.Kepler 22b‟s year lasts longer than the earth‟s D.Kepler 22b‟s ma is greater than HD 85512b‟s 70.We can infer from the paage that ________.A.the farther a planet is away from the earth, the more likely it is to be habitableB.the longer a year of a planet lasts, the farther it is away from the Solar SystemC.the smaller ma a planet has than the earth, the le poibly there is water on itD.the more potential habitable exoplanets are found, the more research we should do

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。There are many destructive(破坏性的)forces when it comes to nature, which have destroyed whole cities and killed many people.They‟re really terrible, but they occur somewhat often, and this is why you see so many charities these days which focus their efforts on helping people who have been affected by natural disasters.While the world is a very beautiful place to live in, there will always be parts of the world where natural disasters happen more often than in other places, where properties and lives are destroyed.Only the people who live in the country where tsunamis and earthquakes as well as other disasters occur experience these, and we can only imagine the suffering that they go through.For some people out there, the world is cruel, but they have no choice but to stay where they are.A lot of the time people simply cannot afford to move away, as they might not be able to get a job when they leave.In 2004, there was a tsunami in the Indian Ocean.A tsunami is a large wave that towers hundreds of feet into the air, and covers whole areas when it comes crashing down on to dry land.This particular tsunami was caused by an earthquake that happened in the middle of the sea, shooting the water away from the ground and towards dry land.This tsunami actually reached thirty meters in height, and was one of the worst tidal waves the world has ever seen.Over 200,000 people were hurt in the disaster.In 2005, we also saw a hurricane happened in the United States.This hurricane was known as hurricane Katrina, and is perhaps the worst in the history of the world.It happened in 2005 and destroyed millions of properties in the area.It also took the lives of nearly 2,000 American people.It was known that for ten days, the wind swept through the area, meaning the most powerful country in the world became helple in their attempts to save the people who were affected by the hurricane.Finally, in 2008 we saw yet another natural disaster.This time it was a cyclone(旋风), which is similar to a hurricane but happens in a circular motion(圆周运动).This cyclone Nargis had been one of the strongest to have ever occurred, reaching a death toll of nearly 150,000 people.All of these were terrible disasters that were unavoidable.Title: Forces of Nature
