7．Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone，not in features but in footsteps.As he grows you also age，and your ambitions become more unachievable.You begin to realize that your boy，in your footsteps，could probably accomplish what you hoped for.But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten.Science projects waited until the last moment.Book reports weren't written until the final threat.
I've been a newspaperman all my adult life.My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English.But Jody？When he entered the tenth grade he became a "vo-tech" student（技校学生）.They're called "motorheads" by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him "motorhead"，I was shocked. "Hey，he's a good kid，" I wanted to say. "And smart，really."
I learned later that motorheads are，indeed，different.They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes.And they don't often make school honor rolls（光荣榜）.
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education.We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have.I began to learn this when I had my car crashed.The cost to repair it was estimated at ﹩800. "Hey，I can fix it，" said Jody.I doubted it ，but let him go ahead，for I had nothing to lose.
My son ，with other motorheads，fixed the car.They got parts（零件）from ajunkyard，and ability from vo-tech classes.The lost was ﹩25 instead of ﹩80.
Since that first repair job，a broken air-conditioner，a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs.They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead：publishers need printers，engineers need mechanics，and architects need builders.Most important，I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll.But he made mine.

（3）The author let his son repair the car because he believed that.
A．His son had the ability to fix it
B．it would save him much time
C．it wouldn't cause him any more loss
D．other motorheads would come to help
（4）In the author's eyes，motorheads are.

8．Five years ago，David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict（有瘾的人），" he jokes. "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me，so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled（有褶皱的）." Today David wears casual clothes （便装） to the office.He hardly ever wears a necktie. "I am working harder than ever." David says， "and I need to feel comfortable."
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work.In the United States，the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual.In the early 1990s，many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday.This became known as "casual Friday". "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing." said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes？ "One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code." "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work，" says Owen Black，the owner of a software company， "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative （保守的） dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes.In a study conducted by Levi Company，85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale （心境，士气）.Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity.Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive，if you have to wear one every day，" one person said. "For the same amount of money，you can buy a lot more casual clothes."
（1）David thinks he was "a clothes addict" because.
A．he disliked cheap clothes
B．he always kept his suit neat
C．he often cleaned his office
D．he spent a little on clothes
（2）Why does David Smith wear casual clothes now？
A．He feels at ease.
B．He looks handsome.
C．He went to a new company.
D．He can't afford expensive suits.
（3）What can we learn from the text？
A．Casual clothes can impress others.
B．People fought for "Casual Friday".
C． "Casual Friday" used to be popular.
D． "Casual Friday" was given as a prize.
（4）What is the advantage of casual office wear？
A．Making workers more easygoing.
B．Making workers more attractive.
C．Improving workers' ability.
D．Saving workers' money.
（5）Which does Owen Black probably agree to？
A．Comfortable clothes are cheap.
B．Nobody like conservative clothes.
C．Young people like casual clothes.
D．U.S.employers like casual office wear.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.7 -
9．Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too，US researchers reported on Tuesday.
They found that when people listened to their favorite music，their blood vessels （血管） dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing，or taking blood medications.
"We have a pretty impressive effect，" said Dr Michael Miller，director of preventive cardiology （心脏病学） at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
"Blood vessel diameter improved，" he said. "The vessel opened up pretty significantly.You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise." A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins.
When blood vessels open up more，blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots （凝块） that cause heart attacks and strokes. "We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health，" said Miller，who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans.
Miller's team tested 10 healthy，non-smoking men and women，who were told to bring their favorite music.They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel function.
Compared to their normal baseline measurements，blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music.Listening to music they disliked — in most cases in this group heavy metal — blood vessels narrowed by six percent，Miller said.
Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. "I asked myself what other things make us feel really good，besides calories from dark chocolate of course.Music came to mind. ...It makes me feel really good，" he said.
Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual.
（1）The underlined word dilate （in paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to "".
A．widen
B．move
C．change
D．increase
（2）According to the passage，which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up？
A．Taking exercise.
B．Listening to unpleasant music.
C．Bursting into laughter.
D．Taking drugs like statins.
（3）It can be inferred from the passage that.
A．blood clots are caused by heart attacks and strokes
B．music is better than chocolate for your health
C．the style of music has different effects on different people
D．a person's overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets
（4）What is the passage possibly taken out from？
A．A scientific journal.
B．A school textbook.
C．A medical brochure.
D．A local newspaper.
（5）What'the best title of the passage？
A．Pleasant Music Cures.
B．Research into Blood Vessel.
C．Music and Heart Attack.
D．Music and Happiness.组卷：1引用：1难度：0.6
