    A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car. He tried again and again but couldn’t get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried. Arthur stopped and asked, “It looks like you’ve got a problem,” Arthur said.

“I’m afraid so. I’m in a big hurry and I can’t start my car.”

“Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you’re sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi.”

“No trouble at all. I’d be glad to help.”

The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat. After placing it on the ground, he turned to get the other one. Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking, he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.

It was from the bank. There had been a robbery (抢劫)!

Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before. Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions. Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank. People asked each other, “What happened?” But everyone had a different answer.

Arthur, still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him.

She looked at the suitcase and then at him. Arthur was surprised. “Why is she looking at me like that?” He thought. “The suitcase! She thinks I’m the bank thief!”

Arthur looked around at the crowd of people. He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run.

    As is known to everyone, we all care about what others think of us and want to be liked, 1.However, there are also many smaller, simpler things you can do, which can affect how others view you.

※Prove you are paying attention.

To really show someone your interest in him or her, try bringing up a topic the person mentioned earlier. Did your co-worker talk about working with his son on a science fair project last week? Follow up and ask how it went. 2.In fact, sometimes it says more that you can recall and show interest in even the small happening in another person’s life.

※Handle criticism in a wise way.

While you want to be generous with your praise, be careful with your criticism. For example, if someone makes an error, don’t call that person out in front of a group. 3.Anyhow, be always gentle with criticism and only offer it when it's truly needed.

※Ask for advice.

Asking someone for advice is a great way to get people to like you. It shows that you respect the other individual's opinion.4. When you make someone feel better about himself or herself, that person will most certainly end up liking you for it.

A new study suggests that people who drank a certain amount of alcohol(酒)had a lower risk of cancer and death than those who drank more or none during a nine-year period. And with each additional drink a week, the risk of cancer and death from any cause increased, the scientists reported.

However, the study found only an association between alcohol and cancer and death, and did not prove cause and effect, the researches said. What sets the new study apart, said lead study author Andrew Kunzmann, is that previous studies looked at cancer and death separately. “What our study does is combine the two outcomes together and we find that lighter drinking is associated with the lowest risk of cancer or death,” Kunzmann said.

But Kunzmann noted that the participants(参与者)were all older adults. That means that “we’re not really showing what happens in younger people if they drink,” he said. Also, it’s difficult to account for other lifestyles that could have affected the results. “These could also influence health. But the results did take into consideration differences in diet, smoking and education among participants,” Kunzmann noted.

The researchers said that they hope their study sparks conversation about reducing the suggested alcohol intake in countries’ guidelines. “We’re not telling people what they can or can’t do or what they can or can’t drink,” Kunzmann said. “We’re just trying to give them reliable evidence so that they can make their own informed, healthy decisions.”

1.What is the finding of the new study?

A. Nondrinkers are least likely to have cancer.

B. Drinking helps lower the risk of cancer.

C. Lighter drinking is helpful to health.

D. Heavy drinkers are at more risk.

2.Which of the following best explains “previous” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A. Future.    B. Present.

C. New.    D. Former.

3.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. The result is of little value.

B. The research has its limitations.

C. The participants are all adults.

D. The influence of diet is included.

4.What does the researchers suggest people do about drinking?

A. Make their own decisions.

B. Reduce the amount they drink.

C. Have additional drinks occasionally.

D. Drink according to the countries’ guidelines.
