5.根据以下材料，回答40-43题 How men first learned to invent words is unknown；in other words，the origin of language is amystery．All we really know is that men，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could communicate with each other；and that later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be combined to representthose sounds and which could be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken，or written in letters，we call words． The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up before ourminds．Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer We live，the morecertain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，themore the number of words that mean something to us increases． Great writers are those who not oily have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in wordswhich appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions．This charming and telling use of words is whatwe call literary(文字的)style．AboVe all，the real poet is a master of Words．He can convey hismeaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move mento tears．We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accuratel3r，or they willmake our speech silly and rude．The origin of language．

Using 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while

creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill， your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient.

Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it，but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control

temperatures at different times of the day.

Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.

Take advantage of natural light Installing large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy

sun.Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.

Wrap(裹)your pipes Be sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating water accounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?

Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)

When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacingappliances?

Passage One

A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers.

―Last week, ‖ he said, my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn ’t get it back.

―How did you write your advertisement? asked one of the listeners, a merchant.

―Here it is, said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper, The other man took it and read,

―Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street.

―Now, ‖said the merchant, ―Ioften advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I ’ll buy you a new one. The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote:

―If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening does n’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known. This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when the opened the front door. (81) In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they hand been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.Why did the merchant say ―I often advertise and find that it pays me well ‖?

14.Passage Four　　Ideas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies, such as America and Australia,for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a m result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only ma short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it's normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard aspersonal.　　On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example,will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.　　To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts ofquestions that you don't want to answer.　　Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers, but also for people in daily life. Some societies have " universalist'' cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. "Particularist" ( 强调特性的)societies also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.What can be learned from Paragraph 1?
