I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up; and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (in many countries, eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons). Then he related an incident(event, matter)and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time. I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together, so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, it is plain that the manager did not.
According to this passage, many people will have a good opinion of those who ______.
A．have never made any mistakes
B．often make mistakes but correct them in no time
C．admit their mistakes
D．forget other people's mistakes easily
Why do people shrink？
Did you ever see the movie Honey，I shrunk the kids？ It’s about a wacky dad（who’s also a scientist）wh0 accidentally shrinks his kids with his homemade miniaturizing invention．0ops! ____（1）．
For older people，shrinking isn’t that dramatic or sudden at all． It takes place over years and may add up to only one inch or so off of their adult height（maybe a 1ittle more，maybe less）， and this kind of shrinking can’t be magically reversed，although there are things that can be done to stop it or slow it down．_____（2）．
There are a flew reasons．As people get older，they generally lose some muscle and flat from their bodies as part of the natural aging process．Gravity （the force that keeps your feet on the ground） take hold，and the bones in the spine，called vertebrae，may break down or degenerate，and start to collapse into one another_____ （3）．But perhaps the most common reason why some older people shrink is because
of osteoporosis．
0steoporosis occurs when too much spongy bone tissue（which is found inside of most bones）is broken down and not enough new bone material is made．______（4）． Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured． Older people—especially women，who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with--are more likely to develop osteoporosis．As years go by，a person with osteoporosis shrinks a little bit．
Did you know that every day you do a shrinking act？ You aren’t as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning．That’s because as the day goes on，water in the disks of the spine gets compressed（squeezed）due to gravity，making you just a tiny bit shorter．Don’t worry，though．_____（5）
A．They end up pressing closer together，which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter．
B．0rice you get a good night’s rest，your body recovers，and the next morning，you’re standing tall again． C．0ver time．bone is said to be lost because it’s not being replaced．
D．Luckily，there are things that people cab do to prevent shrinking．
E．The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely Visible while trying to get back to their normal size．
F．But why does shrinking happen at all ？

Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take their place. Automobile travel caused problems for city hotels, which did not have enough parking space for so many cars.
People who traveled by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to reach a hotel. The answer to the motorists' problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of HOTELS.
Motels were much smaller than hotels. Built on ground level, often in separate units, they were more convenient for people traveling. The separate units also made them quieter than hotels, best of all, there was more than enough room for cars to park. ,
Now, many big hotels in the cities are being torn down. They can no longer make enough money to stay in business. In their place, many small motels have been built on the outskirts(近郊) of cities. Motels have become a big business in the United States.
The first hotels were built______.
A．with hundreds of rooms
B．around the city centers
C．near railway stations
D．quite close to roads.
【C1】
A．parts
B．areas
C．regions
D．classes

This factor is exercise. In the cities, it is often faster and less frustrating to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so tenants must climb stairs. City dwellers(居民) can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.
On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact the opposite is often true. To go to school, work or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies？ Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog." That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog？" There' s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn' t see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn' t think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he？ Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn' t important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words？ One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks？ Does what he says agree with the tone of voice？ His posture？ The look in his eyes？ Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
This passage is mainly about ______.
A．how to interpret what people say
B．what to do when. you listen to others talking
C．how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D．why we go wrong with people sometimes
