Scientists don't know why this happens. They used to think that we inherited (继承) this tendency from our animal ancestors (祖先), but this may not be true. Monkeys are our closest relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys prefer to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right - handed monkeys as there are left - handed ones. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. You' 11 see that some of them will prefer to swing from their right hands, and others will use their left hands. But most human beings use their right hands better, and this makes life difficult for those who prefer to use their left hands.
Most of us use our right hands ______ the left ones.
A.as well as
B.not so well as
C.much better than
D.more better than

M: Why did you choose to ha an author?

WHERE ALASKA IS:Way the hell far from you. Beyond Mars.
HOW YOU GET THERE:You sit in a variety of airplanes for most of your adult life.
WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THAT WILL TRY TO KILL YOU:Bears.
I am quite serious about this. Although Alaska is now an official United States with modem conveniences such as rental cars and frozen yogurt, it also contains a large number of admitted bears, striding freely about the landscape, and nobody seems to be the least bit alarmed about this. In fact, the Alaskans seem to be pround of it. You walk into a hotel or department store, and the first thing you see is a glass case containing a stuffed bear the size of a real one. Our hotel had two of these. It was what we travel writers call "a two-bear hotel". Both bears were standing on their hind legs and striking a pose that said:"Welcome to Alaska! I'm going to tear your arms off!"
This struck me as an odd concept, greeting visitors with a showcase containing a major local hazard. It' s as if an anti-drug organization went around setting up glass display cases containing stuffed drug smugglers, with little plaques stating how much they weighed and where they were taken.
Anyway, we decided the best way to deal with our fear of bears was to become well informed
about them, so we bought a book, Alaska Bear Tales. Here are some of the chapter titles, which I am not making up.
"They'll Attack Without Warning"
"They'll Really Attack You"
"They Will Kill"
"Come Quick ! I' m Being Eaten by a Bear !"
"They Can Be Funny"
Ha ha ! I bet they can. I bet Mr. and Mrs. Bear and a bundle of hilarity as they fight playfully over the remaining portion of a former tourist plumped up by airline food. But just the same, I' m glad that the only actual, nonstuffed, practicing bears that we saw were in the zoo.
What is the tone of the story?
A.Serious.
B.Complex.
C.Comic.
D.Disapproving.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. (77) The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.
For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the NorthAmerican to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other. (78) The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.
On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.

W: Are you a student in the intensive English program? May I see your ID card? Um, yes, we can certainly help you. Where are you staying now?
M: I just arrived yesterday. I'm staying at the hotel across the street.
W: Okay, please complete this form. Will you be living alone or do you have a family with you? Or, would you be interested in sharing homing?
M: Yes, I have a wife and child. They aren't here yet, but they'll ha coming as soon as I am settled in. My daughter is 4.
W: Okay, so you need a two-bedroom apartment, or would you prefer a house?
M: An apartment is fine, preferably close to school.
W: We have two choices available. This two-bedroom is two blocks from campus, but it doesn't have central heat and air. There is a slot in the wall for a unit air conditioner if you want one. It's $ 500 a month. Then, for $ 650 a month, there is this one. It's in a modern apartment complex, about 10 minutes from the university by bicycle, but it's closer to shopping, a movie theater, and other things. And the complex has a swimming pool and a Laundromat (自助洗衣店).
M: Could I see them both? I'm not sure which I would want at the moment. Sure I'd love to be closer to school, but my wife and daughter would probably like the benefits of the other one.
W: Sure. We can go right now if you would like.
