To Whom It May Concern: On March 5, 2012 , I bought a Perfect Muffin Kit(松饼粉 ) from your store at Midfield Shopping Center. The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very friendly and told me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”. Unfortunately, this product did not live up to what it promised . The muffins I made were far from perfect . I followed the directions in the package very carefully . First , I removed the bag of mix from the box. Then , I poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and stirred it. According to the directions, after stirring the mixture , I added half a cup of dried prapes, nuts , berries, or another favorite ingredient(配料 ) . My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce (沙司 ). I find that a bit of hot sauce makes pizza and soup taste very delicious. So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it. Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the baker at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes. When the muffins finished baking, I was very excited to eat the “Perfect Muffins” as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon tasting the muffins, I discovered that they were not perfect. These muffins were , in fact , absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was interested in eating these supposedly “perfect” muffins. I would appreciate a full refund(退款 ) of $3.99 for this product as soon as possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect muffins so that you can experience it for yourself . Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely , Michelle Bauer 1.This letter is most likely addressed to _______. A. a local storeowner B. the owner of the muffin mix company C. the clerk at a local muffin bakery D. George, the cashier who sold the muffin mix 2.The tone(语气 ) of the author can best be described as ________. A. embarrassed B. hopeless C. disappointed D. disgusted 3.the author was unhappy with the product because________. A. the directions of the product contained a mistake B. it was not up to the promise made on the box C. it was too difficult to follow the directions D. it was worth less money than she paid for it 4.The author’s main purpose in writing this letter is to ________. A. prevent others from making the same mistake B. persuade the company to change the wording on their box C. get back all the money paid from the shop D. complain about how bad the muffins tasted

Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them. According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble. Think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way. Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool. These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it. 1.What do most people think causes bad behavior? A. Being forced by others. B. Not having enough will power. C. Enjoying their first experiences. D. Following the examples of their friends. 2.The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____. A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers C. self-control should be developed when one is young D. everyone can be challenged by different temptations 3.In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____. A. without self-control, no one can succeed B. bad habits don’t always lead to bad results C. applying self-control correctly is important D. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A. My First Sip of Beer B. Do You Have Will Power ? C. Will Power Benefits Us D. Dark Side of Self-control

Should ecigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed．More than half of the people questioned in a survey think ecigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration，but 47 percent believe the ecigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit． “In the hunt for a safer cigarette，ecigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer，” Zogby International，which conducted the survey，said in a statement． About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about ecigarettes，which are batterypowered，or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution．They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell．Sold mostly on the Internet，ecigarettes were first made in China． Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using ecigarettes，saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit．The WHO said people who smoke ecigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs． Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that ecigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden，because they don’t produce smoke，but 46 percent disagree．Men who were aware of the availability of ecigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit．Young people，aged 18－29，and singles were the groups most open to trying ecigarettes．Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide，according to the WHO． 1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．American smokers ought to try ecigarettes． B．Americans have different opinions about ecigarettes． C．Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America． D．Most of the Americans don’t like ecigarettes． 2.According to Zogby International，ecigarettes ______． A．are much safer than common cigarettes B．are popular among people who want to quit smoking C．will take the place of traditional cigarettes D．are produced in a safer way by manufacturers 3.What do we know about ecigarettes from the passage? A．Most Americans are familiar with them． B．They are a good choice as there is no nicotine． C．They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen． D．Most people buy them on the Internet． 4.What’s the attitude of the WHO towards ecigarettes? A．Negative B．Supportive C．Doubtful D．Indifferent

LONDON (Reuters)—New faces given to a Chinese man after a bear tore off part of his face and a FrenchCaribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities (怪异)，researchers said． The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove longlasting without major problems．Despite the tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants，neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society，they reported． Only three people have received face transplants．The world’s first was carried out on French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog．In 2007，her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily，overcoming two periods of rejection． In 2006，Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30yearold hit by a bear．While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation，two years later the man was doing well，his doctors said．“This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face，and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society，” Shuzhong Guo and colleagues at Xijing Hospital in China wrote． A French team described their work on a 29yearold man who suffered from Von Recklinghausen disease，an illness that changes the shape of his face．“The man，who was not named，was given a new nose，mouth and chin in a 2007 operation．He began to work 13 months after the transplant has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue，” his doctors said． “Our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement，” Dr．Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the HenriMondor hospital outside Paris wrote． 1.What’s the main idea of this passage? A．Face transplants can work． B．Face transplants help regain confidence． C．Three people have received face transplants． D．Disfigured people need face transplants． 2.The underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 4 means “________”． A．removing B．recovering C．repairing D．rejecting 3.What problem resulted from the facial operations? A．The patients wouldn’t accept the facial change． B．It was hard for the patients to get along with others． C．It took some time for the patients to recover from the operation． D．The patients usually suffered from tissue rejection．

It is common for people to buy flowers when they go to a gathering, visiting a sick friend, or attend a wedding or birthday party.
