Traveling on an airplane can be a very tiring task even in the best of conditions, Sophie Murphy noticed an awful tension on a recent flight from Sydney to Melbourne. She first thought it was caused by typical bad-tempered passengers. But as the flight neared its end, it became obvious that something was very wrong.
A teenage boy with Down syndrome(唐氏综合症)who was traveling with his family had become upset and would not return to his seat, regardless of the cabin crew's warnings over the loudspeaker that it was almost time to land. The pilot was forced to circle above the airport, delaying the landing—and angering people on the already tense flight.
As the boy's elderly parents failed to persuade him to get off the floor and back into his seat, Murphy, who had been a teacher for more than 20 years, stood up and quickly headed to the back of the plane.
She found the boy in the passage between rows of seats, lying on his belly. She began chatting calmly with him, asking his name, his favorite book, and his favorite characters. He told her he felt sick and she tried to comfort him.
Minutes later, he allowed her to hold his hand—and then together they got properly back into airplane seats. Murphy asked for sick bags, and held them as the boy threw up several times. As she helped him clean up, she repeatedly told him everything would be okay and that they'd get through it together.
After the plane was finally able to land, no one was impatient to step off the flight as one might expect. Instead, calmed passengers— obviously following Murphy's amazing example— allowed the boy and his family to depart first, smiling at them as they passed. His parents tearfully thanked Murphy for what she had done, and a doctor sitting nearby also let her know he had even taken notes on her expert way of handling the situation.
24. Why was the landing delayed
A. Because a family ignored the warnings. B. Because a boy refused to sit in his seat.
C. Because smoke was coming out of the engine. D. Because the pilot had to change the destination.
25. Murphy successfully handled the "awful tension" by___________.
A. fighting against unfair treatment B. calling on other passengers to join her
C. communicating with the boy D. asking an experienced doctor to help
26. What changed the angry passengers' attitude at last
A. The teacher's efforts. B. The plane's safe landing.
C. The crew's behavior. D. The boy's improvement.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Murphy
A. Generous and careful. B. Patient and energetic.
C. Wise and honest. D. Kind and cool-headed.

Our sense of smell, which we normally take for granted, is nowadays being increasingly used for purposes which might surprise us if we realized them.
One area in which smells are created to achieve particular results is marketing. For some time producers have taken advantage of our sense of smell with regard to household goods.
When pleasant smells are passed through a store's air conditioning system, people tend to spend more time in the store and buy more. For example, the smell of chocolate is used in sweet stores, while the smells of leather and perfume are used in clothes stores.
In a test, people looked at the same types of shoes in two rooms— one filled with cleaned air, the other with a smell of mixed flowers. Eighty-four percent of the people preferred the shoes in the room with the smell of flowers. In fact, many said they would have paid up to US $10 more for a pair.
Smells also have other uses. Research has shown that certain smells can help to calm anxious people and increase their feeling of safety. Smells such as that of flowers and pine forests might therefore be used to relax patients in doctors' and dentists' waiting rooms, and to make the environment more pleasant and less stressful to them.
Some companies are experimenting with different smells to produce different effects on their workers according to the time of day.
For example, early in the morning they might put the smell of lemon in the air conditioning system to wake people up. In the middle of the morning, when the atmosphere tends to become more tense(紧张的), the smell of wood could be used to calm people down. Before lunchtime the smell of melting butter would encourage people to go to lunch on time. After lunch, when people often begin to lose attention, the smell of mint would increase their watchfulness.
While some of these uses of smells may be helpful and effective, not everyone would agree with their use to control customers in stores. It has been suggested by consumers' organizations that one way to avoid this new subconscious(下意识)pressure to buy is to go shopping when people are less likely to be influenced by smells.
28. We can conclude from the text that__________.
A. smells are widely used in different shops B. different smells can keep people feel happy
C. smells are effective if used in suitable cases D. hospitals take advantage of the sense of smell
29. What kind of smell is effective when the students are having a lesson according to the text
A. Butter. B. Leather. C. Wood. D. Mint.
30. The 4th paragraph proves that
A. pleasant smalls attract people's attention to stores
B. people prefer the shoes with the smell of different flowers
C. right smells increase people's view of the value of a product
D. people want to pay more money because of good smells
31. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph5 refer to
A. patients B. doctors C. smells D. waiting rooms
D
In 1968 Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson set an intelligence test for a class of primary school children at "Oak School"(an invented name)in San Francisco. The teachers were told that the intelligence test had two purposes. Firstly, it would measure the IQ of the children and secondly it would predict 20% of students who, no matter what their performance to date was like, would be likely to make the most progress during the next school year. The teachers were then told who the predicted top improvers would be.
At the end of the school year, eight months later, the intelligence test was carried out again and, perhaps not surprisingly, the results showed that the 20% of children who had been predicted to improve the most, did in fact do so. They showed, on average, an increase of 12 IQ points on the test, compared with an increase of only 8 points for the other children.
But the fact is that no results of any test were used to predict who would be the top performers. Instead, the lucky children who the teachers were told would be the top improvers were given this label as a matter of chance. This study shows that the label that you are given, and your interaction(互动)with others who notice that label, can have a big influence on the results that you achieve. This phenomenon(现象)has been called the Rosenthal Effect. It is also known as the Pygmalion Effect, related most famously to the George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, which shows the effect that two men have in changing an untidy flower girl into a well spoken lady.
For ethical(道德的)reasons the researchers at "Oak School” only concentrated on trying to produce positive results in the children's performance. However, it is worth asking yourself what the effects on the 20% of students considered least likely to improve in the following school year might have been. A frightening thought.
32. What did the study find about the predicted top performers at the end of the school year
A. They showed more interest in tests B. They really made the most progress
C. They became less confident than before. D. They were as intelligent as the other children.
33. How were the top performers chosen
A. According to the teachers' judgement. B. Based on the test results.
C. By chance. D. Openly.
34. What can we infer about the 20% of students mentioned in the last paragraph
A They might be willing to accept positive results B. They would likely have frightening thoughts
C. They would likely make the least progress. D. They might work much harder than before.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The Rosenthal Effect. B. A play by George Bernard Shaw.
C. A school in San Francisco. D. The labels given to children.
