Everyone hates to wait in lines, feeling that our precious life is slipping away. But it’s not always the 36 of the wait that we find so unbearable. Some people camp outside Apple stores for an entire night just to get the 37 product. But waiting 10 minutes in a grocery store just to buy a drink? Forget it. Actually, our behavior when waiting is 38 decided by the length of wait; the psychology of queuing is more important.

One obvious aspect of queuing psychology is that we get 39 when we wait in line. This issue is 40 in many ways, from magazines in hospital waiting rooms, to mirrors in elevators so that we can 41 our appearance, which help overcome boredom.

We really hate it when we 42 a short wait but get a long one. But studies show that we are more 43 when we are given an idea of how long we’ll wait. Walt Disney Co. shows overestimated (高估的）waiting times for 44 in its theme parks, and visitors often get to the front more 45 which makes them happy.

But perhaps the biggest 46 waiting has on our feelings is related to our understanding of fairness. Since the universally accepted 47 is “first come, first served”，any deviation (偏离）from this principle is regarded as 48 .

49 the snake-line was invented. It 50 all customers into one big snaking queue limited by ropes or barriers. When you reach the 51 of the queue, you are directed to the next available server. The snake-line isn’t always faster, but it offers 52 : you never have to see someone arrive after you and get 53 before you.

In life, waiting is 54 . But a better understanding of the psychology of queuing can help make it a bit more bearable. When all else fails, bring a book or a smart phone will also 55 .

第三部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节：(共l5小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A.

Every morning Molly gave her father the lunch bag before he set off for work.

One morning, besides his usual lunch bag. Molly handed him a second paper bag.

“Why two bags?” her father asked.

“The other is something else,” Molly answered.

“What’s in it?” asked her father.

“Just some stuff. Take it with you. ”Molly replied.

Not wanting to discuss the matter, put both bags into his briefcase, he kissed Molly and rushed off. At midday he opened Molly’s bag and took out the contents: three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny seashell, a small doll, and 13 pennies…The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket. Molly’s stuff included.

That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he was reading a newspaper.

“Where’s my bag, Daddy?” asked Molly.

“What bag?” her father responded.

“The one I gave you this morning,” said Molly.

“I left it at the office. Why?” said her father.

“I forgot to put this note in it, ” Molly said. “and besides, Daddy, the things in the bag are those I really like－I thought you might like to play with them. You didn’t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?”

“Oh, no, ” he said, lying. “I just forgot to bring it home. I’ll bring it tomorrow.”

While Molly hugged her father’ neck, unfolded the note that read, “Love you, Daddy”. Molly had given him her treasures—all that a 7-year-old girl held dear.

Love in a paper bag, but he missed it—not only missed it，but had thrown it in the wastebasket. So back he went to the office. Just ahead of the night guard, he picked up the paper bag. He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully. The bag didn’t look so good, but the stuff was all there and that was of great importance.

After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. It took a long time to tell. Everything had a story or a memory.

“Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life,” he thought.

We should all cherish the moment with the people we love. That’s what really matters. It’s so simple and so easily forgotten.

A. Stories behind treasures B. A special present

C. Father and daughter D. Love in a paper bag

A. She didn’t want to keep the things in one bag.

B. She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father.

D. She enjoyed playing with her father.

58. How did her father deal with the bag after he opened it?

A. He kept it in the drawer. B. He took it back home.

C. He threw it into the wastebasket. D. He put it on his table.
