But now one company has created water storage that they hope will prove to be just as convenient as a plastic bottle-but contains no actual plastic．

A layer atop the membrane can be peeled off just before drinking，for hygiene purposes．Skipping Rock Labs are hoping their new product takes off-and that it starts to put a dent into the plastic packaging industry．

18．To be punctual is important for us because people rather expect us to be on time for appointments．But it seems not easy to be on time every time．Here are some useful methods to help you be punctual．
Plan your route．If your destination（目的地） is unfamiliar，go online the night before to map out your route and see how long it's going to take．Then you will know when you have to leave the house．
Do as much as possible the night before．Make your mornings less stressful（有壓力的） by doing what you can the night before to make your time enough．Get your clothes ready．Set the breakfast table．Make your lunch if you need to take it．
Make a time table．You need to make a time table if you have lots of things to do in a day．For example，the time you get up，the time you leave the house，and the time you wait for the bus．You also need to estimate（估計） how long it takes．
Give yourself a gift of being early．If you plan to get to your destination 15minutes early，you'll probably never be late again．Being early seems a waste of time．But you can do something you love．Read the newspaper，read your favorite blogs and even call a friend．It really can be a gift．
8．The underlined word"punctual"probably meansA．

5．Meeting people from another culture can be difficult．From the beginning，people may send the wrong signal．Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship．
Different cultures emphasize （強(qiáng)調(diào)） the importance of relationship building to a greater or less degree．For example，business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust．Even with people at work，it is necessary to spend a lot of time in"small talk"，usually over a glass of tea，before they do any job．In many European countries--like the UK or France--people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office．
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures．I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion； instead there was an uncomfortable silence．The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better，I realized that they thought I was talking too much．In my own culture，we express meaning mainly through words，but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary．
Even within Northern Europe，cultural differences can cause serious problems．Certainly，English and German cultures share similar values； however，Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly．We think that they are rude．In fact，this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly．
People from different parts of the world have different values，and sometimes these values are quite against each other．However，if we can understand them better，a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other．
32．In some countries，eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people toD．
A．get to know each other                    
B．share the same culture
C．keep each other company                  
D．develop closer relations
 33．The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show thatD．
A．the English prefer to make long speeches     
B．even talk and silence can be culturally different
C．too many words are of no use               
D．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
 34．According to the text，how can people from different cultures understand each other better？A
A．By recognizing different values．
B．By sharing different ways of life．
C．By accepting different habits．
D．By speaking each other's languages．
 35．What would be the best title for the text？D
A．How to Understand Each Other．
B．Multicultural Environment．
C．How to Build Up a Relationship    
D．Cross-Cultural Differences．

5．On a cool November afternoon in Fleming Island，F(xiàn)lorida，Melissa Hawkinson，41，was driving her five-year-old twins home from school when she saw a sudden splash in Doctors Lake just ahead．What was that？She thought．As she drove up to the scene，she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore．"It was going down pretty quickly，"Hawkinson recalls．She stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water．Water is going to be cold，she thought．
     She took off her vest and leather boots，got into the icy water，and swam to the car，where she found Cameron Dorsey，five，trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him．
     Hawkinson tried to open the door，but it was locked．So she pushed and pulled hard on the partially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door．She pulled the boy free，swam to shore，and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock．The driver，the boy's suicidal father，swam back to land on his own．Afterward，Hawkinson sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket．"For ten or 15 minutes，I couldn't stop shaking，"she said．
     There's nothing visibly extraordinary about Melissa Hawkinson，an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and a sweet smile．Yet something made her different from the dockside onlookers that day．Why do some people act quickly，willing to take a risk for a stranger？What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it？Hawkinson，the Granite Mountain Hotshots （能手，高手）---19 of whom lost their life this past summer in Arizona---every hero who puts his or her life on the line to save another：what makes them brave？
     Moreover，can bravery be learned，or is it a quality with which you are born？The answer is complex．Bravery taps the mind，brain and heart．It comes from instinct，training and sympathy．Today，neurologists，psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery，trying to uncover the mystery．
21．It can be learned from the passage thatB．
A．Melissa Hawkinson was a 41-year-old nurse
B．Melissa Hawkinson was kind and courageous．
C．Melissa Hawkinson was picking up her five-year-old son
D．it was spring when the accident happened
22．What conclusion can we draw from the third paragraph？D
A．No one else was available except Melissa Hawkinson．
B．The father committed suicide because of the divorce．
C．The father was saved in the end by Melissa Hawkinson．
D．Not everyone was ready to risk saving the five-year-old boy．．
23．How does the writer find other people on the dockside？C
A．Warm and ready to help            
B．Thoughtful
C．Kind of cold-blooded             
D．Not skillful at swimming
24．What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage？A
A．To set us thinking what makes people brave．
B．To call on us to learn from such people as Hawkinson．
C．To remind people of risk while saving others．
D．To show people bravery can be learned．
