I. Reading Comprehension:
Passage 1
Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses---in this case our eyes---tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

A four-year study conducted by the Infant (婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.
The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the ideal way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician (儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter. 11. 12. 13. 14.

About one hundred and thirty years ago, Thomas Edison of the US invented the light bulb(电灯). Edison's bulb has turned night into day ever since. But today, many want to turn the light off.
The European Union recently decided that by 2009, people should stop using the Edison-style light bulb. Instead, they should use compact fluorescent lamps (节能灯).
\"CFLs save energy and last longer. They can save money in the long run,\" said a British official. CFLs use 67 percent (67%) less electricity than the older bulbs. They last up to 10 times longer. Scientists say that if everyone used CFLs, electricity use would be cut by 18 percent. There would also be much smaller amounts of greenhouse gas given off.
But it's difficult to make people change their lighting habits. First the CFLs are more expensive. They cost eight times the price of the older bulbs. Many people don't like the CFL bulb. They find it too bright. You cannot change the light of a CFL, either. 16. When was the Edison-style light bulb invented? B A. Early this century. B. About 130 years ago.
C. A century ago. D. In the 1920s. 17. What do many people want today? A A. To turn off the light. B. To make night even brighter. C. To turn day into night. D. To turn night into day. 18. Who says that CFLs should take the place of the Edison-style light bulb? B

B. CFLs cost more than the Edison-style light bulb. C. You can adjust(调节) the light of a CFL. D. People find CFLs are not bright enough.
