Britains relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys pride of place as the UKs national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day. With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, 400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways? One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work. Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if theyre often drinking it and then go without, theyll feel tired and wont work well.” Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper. And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; theyre comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeines doing, Id say these 24 minutes arent wasted.” 56. What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.C. Tea break plays an important role in peoples life in Britain.D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.57. We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _.A. 400 is lost in working hours for each person B. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayC. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearD. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day58. Whats Psychologist Coopers attitude towards tea break?A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Negative. D. Positive.BThe first time I went for a walk around my father-in-laws neighborhood was garbage day, and I was shocked to see what people were throwing out. It was back in 1981, and I saw many people gathered in someones front yard. As I went nearer to see what was happening I got my first introduction to yard sales. For the few dollars I had in my wallet, I was able to buy a seven-inch black-and-white portable TV. I also bought a flashlight.The following weekend, at another yard sale, I saw a 14-inch color TV being sold for almost nothing. I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it. Now I had two sets and couldnt wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend.Spring ended, and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always wished to have back home.Then this new idea came to mind. I had heard about a man who traveled back home every few months. He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives. So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his resale business.Every few months I would gather several boxes of American “junk” televisions, toasters, fans, hair dryers, etc. and send them home. As word got out about my fathers “trash” market, people all came to buy these things.Three years later, when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home, I learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of “trash”. It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home up to date with the latest technology you no longer need.59. According to the text, a yard sale is a place where people _.A. sell their front yards at a low priceB. sell unwanted things in their own yardsC. gather in someones yard to enjoy thingsD. throw away their trash in someones yard60. The author felt he could not miss the offer because _.A. the second TV set was bigger B. the second TV set was color TVC. the second TV set was very cheapD. he wanted two TV sets very much61. What did the author think of the “junk” he bought?A. He thought they were valuable.B. He thought they were worth buying.C. He was not surprised to see them thrown away.D. He thought he could sell them for a good price.62. From the passage we can infer that _.A. The author comes from a poor countryB. The author often goes home to sell the “junk”C. The author buys the “junk” only to make profitsD. The “junk” is not welcomed in the authors home countryCThe Man Booker Prize for Fiction is awarded every year for a novel written by a writer from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to represent the very best in contemporary fiction. The prize was originally called the Booker-McConnell Prize, which was the name of the company that sponsored it, though it was better-known as simply the “Booker Prize”. In 2002, the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name, keeping “Booker”.Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize, but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted they think should be included. Firstly, the Advisory Committee formed by sponsors give advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and select the people who will judge the books. The judging panel (group) changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once.Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender and professions within the industry, so that a writer, a critic, an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society. However, when the panel of judges has been finalized, they are left to make their own decisions without any further involvement or interference from the prize sponsor.The Man Booker judges include critics, writers and academics to maintain the consistent quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales increase considerably, in addition to the 50,000 that comes with the prize.Worth 60,000 to the winner, the Man Booker International Prize is awarded every two years to a living author who has published fiction either originally in English or whose work is generally available in translation in the English language. The winner is chosen solely at the mercy of the judging panel; there are no opinions from publishers.The Man Booker International Prize reflects and reinforces the annual Man Booker Prize for Fiction in that literary excellence will be its sole focus. The Man Booker International Prize is significantly different from the annual Man Booker Prize for Fiction in that it highlights one writers overall contribution to fiction on the world stage.In seeking out literary excellence the judges consider a writers body of work rather than a single novel.63. We can learn from the passage that _.A. books can be submitted by writersB. the judging panel doesnt include women C. the judging panel advises on changes to the rulesD. the sponsorsare involved in choosing the judges64. The consistent quality of the prizeis guaranteed by _.A. the prize moneyB. the gender of the judgesC. the make-up of the panel of judgesD. by the increase in sales of the winner65. The Man Booker Prize for Fiction is quite different from the Man Booker International Prize in that _. A. it focuses on a single novel B. it highlights an authors overall work C. it offers much less money to the winner D. it is named after the company that sponsored it66. This passage suggests that both prizes mentioned in it _. A. are not awarded to women writers B. benefit the English literature greatly C. are awarded only to the English writers D. aim to promote book sales in the marketDThe brown widow spider became established in Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego.The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northward into Central California.The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa although it was first described from South America, which adds confusion as to where it might have originated. It is a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii, Florida, parts of Australia, South Africa and Japan. In North America, the brown widow was rest
