1.On September 15,eel Salvador,Guatemala,and Honduras celebrate their own independence days.On October 16,Mexico follows suit.Each country above has its own nature,but what combined them is local traditions and Spanish culture.Here are four destinations worthy of planning a trip.
Tazumal,eel Salvador
El Salvador is home to some rather impressive May an ruins that show off this once great civilization.Tazumal is one such place,which is believed to be more than 7,000 years old and was left abandoned sometime around the 13th century.However,large areas were extensively restored in the ' as and ' 50 s,giving visitors a taste of the past.
Antigua,Guatemala
The 16th-century city of Antigua is surrounded by volcanoes,churches,and Baroque buildings,combining European style with pre - Hispanic traditions,making its way to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sjye.aies.It's possible to visit most of its attractions on foot,including the arcs de Santa Catalina,the Central Park,and the Palacio de Ayuntamiento.

2.My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler's checks,and is asleep at the moment.His blue duffel (粗呢) bag lies on the floor where he dropped it.Obviously,he postponed as much sleep as he could.When he walked in and we hugged,his electrical system suddenly switched off,and he headed directly for the bed,where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.
It was his first trip overseas,so weeks before it,I pressed travel books on him,and a tape cassette of useful French phrases;drew up a list of people to visit;advised him on clothing and other things.At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase,he headed for the duffels,saying that suitcases were more for old people During the trip,he called home three times:from London,Paris,and a village named Ullapool.Near Ullapool,he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off.In the village,a man spoke to him in Gaclic(蓋爾語) and,too polite to interrupt,my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes,trying to nod in the right places.The Frenchman he learned from the cassette didn't hold water in Paris.The French he talked to shrugged(聳肩)and walked on.
When my son called,I sat down at the kitchen table,leaned forward and hung on every word.His voice came through clearly,though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication.When I interrupted him with a"Great!" or a "Really?",I knocked a little hole in his communication.So I just sat and listened.I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure.It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me.In my book,he was the first man to land on the moon,and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.
The unused checks are certainly evidence of that.Youth travels light.No suitcase,not much luggage and a nim expense account,and yet he went to the scene,and came back safely.I sit here amazed.The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you've never seen is a night you would gladly tun into a week.

3.Medical errors(ME)are among the most important patient safety challenges facing hospitals and healthcare systems nowadays.Since the Institute of Medicine(IOM)report in 1999 "To Err is Human," an increasing number of studies have shown how common and deleterious ME are,especially in hospital medicine.With this,healthcare leaders invested time and resources toward identifying and reducing ME.
A medical error is defined as "an incidence when there is an omission or a mistake in planning or execution that leads or could lead to unintended result." While the majority of ME do not lead to an apparent adverse effect,a significant number of patients either suffer a permanent injury or death from ME every year in the United States and around the world as a result of those errors.
Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer.It is estimated that more than 200,000 patients die annually in the United States from ME.Furthermore,in addition to the harm inflicted on patients,medical errors are associated with an increased healthcare cost.In a 2008 report,it was estimated that medical errors cost the healthcare system in the United States more than 17 billion dollars annually.
The first step in combating ME and improving patient safety is to study the different types of medical errors to better understand why medical errors happen.The causes,types,and rates of ME can vary from one institution to the other and change over time,especially as we implement changes in our healthcare delivery.Therefore,it is important to capture,track and analyze all medical errors as possible at the institutional level.
As most of the nonmedication medical errors are hard to capture electronically and manual chart review is both unmanageable and time consuming,self-reporting is still the most reliable approach to capturing ME.Unfortunately,underreporting of ME is a commonly reported challenge even when healthcare institutions mandated reporting.While there is no agreement on what defines "underreporting of ME," it commonly refers to the lack of reports on significant ME events.
(1)What does the underlined word "deleterious" probably mean in the first paragraph?
A.Important.
B.Useful.
C.Harmful.
D.Adequate.
(2)What is the worst effect of ME?
A.Annual patients deaths.
B.Heart disease and cancer.
C.Increasing healthcare cost.
D.Destruction of healthcare system.
(3)What is the first step to fight against ME to improve the patient security?
A.To do research on the different types of ME.
B.To figure out the reason why ME happens.
C.To identify different institutions over time.
D.To analyze the changes in the health delivery.
(4)Why is self-reporting still the most reliable way to capture ME?
A.Because less typical medication ME events recorded.
B.Because the patients are willing to offer the report of ME.
C.Because healthcare institution gives the authority to the patients.
D.Because there is difficulty in electronic capture as well as manual inefficiency.組卷:6引用:2難度:0.5 -
4.While it may be commonplace,snubbing(冷落)one's friends can have serious impacts on relationships,and there are a variety of factors that may drive individuals to ignore their friends in favor of an electronic screen,according to a new University of Georgia study.
The study reveals positive associations between depression and social anxiety and increasing snubbing:depressed people are likely to snub their friends more frequently,and socially anxious people,who prefer online social interactions,might also exhibit more snubbing behavior.These people are really sensitive to their messages.With each buzz or sound,they consciously or unconsciously look at their phones.The device's various applications are key drivers contributing to this dynamic.
The finding also shows that agreeable individuals have a lower instance of snubbing in the presence of their friends.People who have agreeableness as a personality feature tend to show cooperative,polite and friendly behaviors in their interpersonal relationships and social settings.Though agreeable people may prioritize strong friendships,an exploratory study reveals they are also more likely to turn to phones in the presence of three or more people.
That dynamic may influence the spread of snubbing in the context of a work environment. "It's ironic(諷刺意味的)that while so many people believe that snubbing behavior is rude,they still do it." Sun said. "A majority of people snub others,and in a group,it may seem OK,because it's just me,the speaker doesn't notice I'm using the phone.The number of people in a group can be one reason."
Alternately,disabling or turning over a phone can indicate a show of respect for a situation and focus on a person.That,too,is a signal - I am listening to what you are saying and I am focusing on you.
(1)What can cause snubbing behavior?
A.Social requirements.
B.Unhealthy mental condition.
C.Frequent social interactions.
D.Limited communication devices.
(2)What can be inferred about the agreeable people?
A.They are insensitive to phone messages.
B.They are more likely to snub their friends.
C.They attach importance to firm friendships.
D.They get accustomed to groups with more people.
(3)Why do some people continue snubbing behavior even if they know it's rude?
A.The majority are using phones.
B.They don't like the environment.
C.The speaker doesn't care about it.
D.They think they will go unnoticed.
(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.How snubbing behaviors can be avoided?
B.Why people are addicted to phone messages?
C.Why people snub their friends with their phones?
D.How phones influence people's social interactions?組卷:13引用:4難度:0.5

5.Healthy See,Healthy Do Visit the grocery store on an empty stomach,and you will probably come home with a few things you did not plan to buy.But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases.The location of store displays (擺放) also influences our shopping choices.(1)
The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food.Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks.(2)
(3)
Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city's crowded urban checkout areas,so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study.(4)
Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed,just 4 percent bought anything from the checkout area.Among those who did,however,customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines.(5)
The potential influence may seem small,but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers' eyes to nutritious,lower-calorie foods.Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout counters throughout New York City.
A.These foods give people more energy.
B.They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.
C.And it may make or break some healthy eating habits.
D.The supermarkets began to offer nutritious,lower-calorie foods.
E.These findings caught the attention of New York City Department of Health.
F.They replaced candies and cookies with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter.
G.And a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can change customer behavior.組卷:48引用:8難度:0.5

19.A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that the door was always closed.It was a very old and shabby house.The owner,an old man,was hardly seen to come out.Every time he did come out,he was always alone,no one else with him.When his neighbors or passers-by greeted him,he would not say hello.All that he did was nothing but simply just glare at them
The boy knocked on the door and waited,sweating from fear of the old man.The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house,and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
The door was still closed.Dusk found the boy lingering (流連,逗留) on and hesitating what to do.As he was ready to walk away,the door slowly opened. *What do you want?" the old man said,impatience flashing in his eyes.The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份額) to meet for school with selling the magazines.So got up the courage and said, "Uh,sir,I am selling these magazines and uh,was wondering if you would like to buy one from me."
The old man just stared at the boy without a word.The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines(小雕像) on the fireplace mantle(壁爐地幔). "Do you collect dogs?" The little boy asked. "Yes,I have many collections in my house.They are my family here and they are all I have." The boy then felt sorry for the man,as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
"Well,I do have a magazine here for collectors.It is perfect for you.I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much." The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, "No,boy.I don't need any magazines of any kind,now goodbye."
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale.He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned.The boy went home and then had an idea.He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt.The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he ha real live dog and a large family.
