23、e when people were a litter nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away form that. 5Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance out first, or never saying “Thank you“ when others hold the door ope
24、n for them. We get lazy. And in our laziness, we think that something, like a simple “Thank You“ doesnt really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact that no matter how nicely we dress, or how beautifully we decorate we home, we cant be truly elegant without good manners because elegance and
25、good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of the good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. Havent you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? Its funny how that happens. But it does. Take the long-lost art of saying “Thank you“ like wearing a l
26、ittle makeup or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying “Thank you“ can make you feel better about yourself. Good manners add to you image while an angry face makes the best dressed person look ugly. Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q11: What is
27、 the passage mainly about?Q12: What does the speaker say about the people of the past?Q13: According to the speaker, how could we best improve our image?Passage Two“Go to the playground and have fun.“ Parents will often say to their kids. But they should remember playgrounds can be dangerous. Each y
28、ear about 200,000 children end up in hospital emergency rooms with playground injures. Many injures involve falls from too-high equipment onto too-hard surfaces. Nearly 70% of the injuries happen on public playgrounds. Recent studies show they maybe badly designed that protective services are inadeq
29、uate and their equipments is poorly maintained. Parents should make sure that the equipment in playground is safe and that children are playing safely. Last year the national program for playground safety gave the nations playground a grade of “C“ for safety after visiting more than 3,000 playground
30、s nationwide. Parents should watch closely. They should always be within shouting and running distance of their children. Young children dont understand cause-and-effect, so they may run in front of moving swings. Theyre also better at climbing up than getting down, so they may panic at the top of a
31、 ladder. Its important for children to know youre watching them. Once they feel that sense of security, thats when they can be creative.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q14: What is the cause of playground injures? Q15: What should parents do to prevent playground inju
32、res? Q16: What does the speaker say about young children? Passage ThreeFor 25 years I was a full-time thief, specializing in picking pockets. Where I come from in southeast London, thats an honorable profession. Anyone can break into a house and steal things. But picking somebodys pocket takes skill
33、. My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London. We worked hotel and theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers, restaurants. Now we dont steal anymore, but this crime is worldwide. Here is how to protect yourself:6Professional pickpockets do not see victims, only handba
34、gs, jewels and money. Mothers with babies, the elderly, the disabled are all fair game. My preferred target was the lone female, handbag at her side, the right side to be exact. So if Im next to her I can reach it cautiously with my right hand across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carri
35、es her bag on the left, and I tended to steer clear of them. Women whose bags are hanging in front of them are tricky for the pickpocket, as there isnt a blind side. If you want to make it even harder, use a bag with handles rather than a strap. For men, one of the best places to keep a wallet is in
36、 the back pocket of tight trousers. Youll feel any attempts to move it. Another good place is in the buttoned-up inside pocket of a jacket. Theres just no way in. Even better, keep wallets attached to a cord or chain that is fasten to a belt.A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and off guard.
37、The perfect setting is clothing store. When customs wander among the racks, they are completely absorbed in the items they hold up. The presence of a uniformed security guard is even better. A false sense of security makes a pickpockets job much simpler.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage yo
38、u have just heard.Q17: Why does the speaker say that picking somebodys pocket is an honorable job in southeast London?Q18: According to the speaker, who is most likely to become a victim of pickpockets? Q19: In the speakers opinion, what is the best place for a man to keep his wallets? Q20: What is the perfect setting for picking pockets, according to the speaker?
