• 1．While wearing T-shirts，jeans and a baseball cap are classic American style choices；the preppy（學(xué)院風(fēng)格） look is what sophisticated（高雅時髦的） British youths wear．But when it comes to the best-dressed nation，neither the US nor the UK tops CNN's list．So which country has the best fashion sense？Take a look．
  Italy
     Italy is a nation that values outward appearance．Elegance（高雅） is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful（優(yōu)雅的）．They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store．
     Both men and women have a good understanding of style，dressing themselves up with well-groomed（講究的） hair and a smart pair of shoes．It is no wonder that so many of the best fashion designers are Italian!
  Sweden
     Retail（零售） giant H & M continues to spread affordable Swedish style around the world．What has been called the "Swedish fashion miracle" actually comes from the "less is more" philosophy（信條）．
     The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear，but they don't lack creativity．
  France
     The French have a chic（別致的） air about them．They appear casual and elegant without being over-dressed or under-dressed，and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices． "The laissez-faire（自由放任的） approach to fashion is something many people love - and the looks they wear are something we all want to emulate on a daily basis，" said The Huffington Post．
  
  （1）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text？

  
  A．Wearing jeans is American style．
  B．Wearing T-shirts is American style．
  C．British young people like the preppy style．

• 2．One day，when I was working as psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office．It was David．He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly．His head teacher had referred him to me． "This boy has lost his family，" he wrote． "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and I'm very worried about him．Can you help？"
     I looked at David and showed him to a chair．How could I help him？There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to，and which no words can describe．Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically．
     The first two times we met，David didn't say a word．He sat there，only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me．I suggested we play a game of chess．He nodded．After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me．It's not easy to cheat in chess，but I admit I made sure David won once or twice．
     Usually，he arrived earlier than agreed，took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down．It seemed as if he enjoyed my company．But why did he never look at me？
     "Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，" I thought． "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering．" Some months later，when we were playing chess，he looked up at me suddenly．
     "It's your turn，" he said．
     After that day，David started talking．He got friends in school and Joined a bicycle club．He wrote to me a few times，about his biking with some friends，and about his plan to get into university．Now he had really started to live his own life．
     Maybe I gave David something．But I also learned that one-without any word-can reach out to another person．All it takes is a hug，a shoulder to cry on，a friendly touch，and an ear that listens．
  
  （1）When he first met the author，David

  ．
  A．felt a little excited
  B．walked energetically
  C．looked a little nervous
  D．showed up with his teacher
  （2）As a psychologist，the author

  C．He went into university soon after starting to talk．
  D．He got friends in school before he met the author．

• 3．If you think that Internet shopping on a Sunday gets you the best deals，then think again．Tuesday is actually the best day of the week if you want to grab a bargain，according to an exhaustive analysis of on-line shopping．Thursday is the second best day followed by Friday-but Sunday is when you are least likely to make a saving．
     The study also looked at months and found that the pre-Christmas rush in November is when there are most bargains around on the web-and not the January sales．US retailer（零售商） reporting service Sum All examined 3，000 companies and half a billion transactions（交易） as part of its report．It worked out the average discount（折扣） offered to consumers on each day of the week and over different times of the year．
     The best day of the week was Tuesday where savings were 4.81 percent，followed by Thursday on 4.80 percent．In third place was Friday at 4.65 percent，then Wednesday at 4.13 percent and Monday at 4.11 percent．Only the foolish would shop on a Saturday where the discounts were typically 3.84 percent-and Sunday was the worst with 3.37 percent．
     The analysis by month is even more surprising as most people think that waiting until the post-Christmas sales would yield the biggest discounts．In fact，November is when you will get the largest savings at 5.99 percent on average．January came in second at 4.95 percent，followed by May at 4.50 percent．
     The worst month to buy online was March where you could expect to save just 2.76 percent．Consumers and experts have been speculating for years about the best time to shop online．
     Booking a flight has almost become a science with some claiming that buying six weeks before you travel guarantees you the best price．However，a recent analysis by the US Airlines Reporting Commission found that was not actually the case．
     Not only did the six-week window fail to pile up，in some cases the best fares were on sale as long as 24 weeks before departure．The ARC said that booking well in advance is best advised for busy routes or long haul flights（長途航班），as the price only tends to go up．
  
  （1）If a buyer wants to buy cheap goods online，he'd better go to the shop on

  ．
  A．Tuesday
  B．Thursday

  D．Sunday
  （2）Most web sellers often provide bargain on the web
