| James was a curious young man. Everywhere he went, he liked to observe things and to 1 people-what they did, what they said and what they wore. Subconsciously, he was making quick 2 all the time. He couldn't really 3 it; it just happened. For example, he once saw a man whose body was 4 with tattoos (纹身). That man was strong and walked proudly. James imagined his 5 people up, sometimes with sticks and sometimes with his hands, speaking 6 words each time he opened his mouth. A troublemaker, perhaps, James 7 to himself. Sometimes James felt 8 for judging others this way, but that feeling was 9 and never really lasted. Then, one day, he saw a woman seated alone in a café. The woman was 10 , quite fat, and although she was not 11 , James could tell she was a short lady. 12 , James glanced across at her, looking at her from top to bottom. As his eyes reached her 13 , he got a shock. There she was, on her left foot, wearing a platform shoe that was at least 3 inches high. 14 could such a little middle-aged lady who was average-looking at best be so vain as to wear high platforms? Look beautiful? In that short moment of time, 15 thoughts flowed through James' mind. A second later, James' eyes naturally moved across to the lady's right foot. And there, he got an even bigger 16 -It was a flat shoe. She was not vain; she had a birth defect (缺陷)-uneven length of her legs. If anything, she deserved 17 and understanding, certainly not blame, not even mental ones. James was 18 with guilt. It was a(n) 19 lesson he learned about not 20 conclusions, about not judging people, especially so quickly. | ||||

| A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack-when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late-serious illness at home-he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech. Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. Sam's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?" The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job-with the only tool that could win, a laugh. Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum. |
| 1. Why was Sam late for his job? |
| A. Because he was ill. B. Because he got up late. C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam. D. He was busy applying for a new job. |
| 2. The main idea of this passage is ____. |
| A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor B. humor is important in our lives C. early bird gets the worm D. humor can solve racial discriminations |
| 3. The phrase "clamped off" in Paragraph 3 means ____. |
| A. tried to hold back B. tried to set C. charged D. gave out |
| 4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage? |
| A. Many lose life's battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor. B. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work. C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30. D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems. |

| Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old. The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup (民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress. Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry. The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age. The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry |
| 1. We can learn from the research that ____. |
|
A. only when people get older will they feel happier |
| 2. According to the research, when people get older, ____. |
| A. they miss the old days B. they are physically weak C. they have better self-control D. they are more emotional |
| 3. What would the author probably talk about next? |
| A. What influences happiness. B. How to live better. C. How to keep happier. D. Why women are less happier. |
| 4. The author is intended to ____. |
| A. advise how to reduce stress B. introduce a scientific finding C. describe how to do research D. talk about human emotions |

| Few of us make money by losing sleep. But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation (睡眠不足). Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown's business and engineering schools. They began thinking about ways to sleep better. They discovered they weren't alone in burning the midnight oil. Around 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night. The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative (有回复作用的) stages of the sleep cycle: REM (rapid eye movement)and deep sleep. What would it cost to design such a thing? Five years of research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists. Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009. The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors (传感器) that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states-REM, light, deep and waking sleep.The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you're not in REM sleep (which is when you're least groggy). In the morning you can upload the data to the company's Web site, and so track your sleep over time.Most of the feedback comes in the form of Zeo's ZQ score showing how well you've slept. "Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep," says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO. Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 pm. For now the company is selling Zeo online only. Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US level |
| 1. Who will support Zeo? |
| A. People full of imagination. B. People suffering sleeping problems. C. People having access to the Internet. D. People having bad lifestyles. |
| 2. Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock? |
| A. To wake them up on time in the morning. B. To earn enough money for their study. C. To improve the quality of people's sleep. D. To enjoy their life while working at night. |
| 3. To design the Zeo device, the three graduate students ____. |
| A. spent much time and money B. were widely supported by scientists C. worked by themselves all the time D. attracted many investors . |
| 4. What can we know from the passage? |
| A. Zeo has a direct effect on users' lifestyles. B. It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better. C. A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia. D. Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person |

these is true? How can children use fluoride safely? 1. ( ) This question is answered by Dr Marcia M. Rich who practises general dentistry in Newholt. She is also a lecturer at the University and a writer for the monthly magazine Your Dentist Cares. 2. ( ) My answer to the first question is to stress that fluoride works well and is safe when users follow instructions. Young children have a tendency to swallow toothpaste, which is why they should only have a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste on their toothbrush. If this simple measure is taken, parents can be confident that children will be protected against tooth decay, and come to no harm. 3. ( ) Almost all medicines have a negative effect-or even be deadly-if they are not taken as directed. So you are right-fluoride can be poisonous if it is swallowed in very large quantities. It is for the reason that fluoride supplements can only be obtained on prescription from the doctor or dentist. Please be assured that fluoride overdoses are rare-in fact, I have never heard of any fatal incidents related to fluoride poisoning. 4. ( ) Scientific studies have shown that fluoride can help to prevent cavities(牙洞) as long as it is used correctly. If fluoride is abused, there is a risk of illness or even deaths in extreme cases. If a deadly amount of fluoride is taken, immediate first-aid could save a life. A person who has swallowed a large amount of fluoride will probably start vomiting. If not, the patient should be given milk or antacid and taken to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment. 5. ( ) Taking too much fluoride while teeth are growing can lead to a condition called dental fluorosis. The most likely cause is the swallowing of fluoride toothpastes by young children. It can also be caused by inappropriate use of fluoride drop or other fluoride supplements, for example when fluoride is already present in drinking water. | |
