I found a large cancer that spread over much of the 4 of her mouth A careful examination later 5 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer. During her next appointment, I explained to her the 6 of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, "I know you're worried about me, but I'm just 7 ." I thought otherwise.

"When can I get started on fixing my dentures (假 牙)?" Surprised to see her at all, I answered 13 , "Let me take a look in your mouth and we'll see about it." I couldn't believe my eyes. The cancer that had 14 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone-only one small area of redness 15 . I had read of such things happening, but had 16 seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I've seen many others because they keep getting 17 to see. In fact, miracles are daily events for me now.

| Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30, and at 6:30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba. "Hey, Sheba," she said, "I've got no time for you now, but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club." Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet (兽医). When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office. "Listen, doctor, I'm really in a rush to get to a meeting-can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?" "Sure," said the doctor. Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring. "This is Dr. Sterne," said an anxious voice. "I want you to get out of.that house immediately," said the doctor's voice. "I'm coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!" At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived. "Where's Sheba? Is she OK?" shouted Joanne. "She's fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she's OK now." Just then, the two policemen reappeared ffom the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him. "My God," said Joanne, "how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?" "I think he must be a burglar," said the doctor. "I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba's throat; it turned out to be three human fingers." |

| Apparently, we are safe neither at home nor in the business office. We use water in both places, but the research shows that chemicals added to our local water supply to kill harmful bacteria can have unwanted side effects. These chemicals can cause potential harm through drinking and in seemingly harmless activities as cleaning one's house. They are released (set free) from water by daily actions like water running out of tap, spraying from garden pipes, or splashing in dishwashers and washing machines. As the water is moving, these chemicals are released into the air and then breathed in. Once inside our bodies, they start to affect our health. Does this mean we should stop bathing? No, say the scientists, but we should put all pollution into perspective. Activities at home such as the burning of coal, cooking oil, or even candles release carbon monoxide and particulates such as cigarette ashes which have been proven as harmful to health as working or living near heavy traffic. New rugs, bedding, and even clothing give off that "new smell," which is a sure sign of chemicals. In the office, newly applied paint, newly purchased telephones and other telecommunications equipment, and computers release polluting chemicals, too. As offices and homes often have inadequate ventilation (通风), these chemicals can build up to become health problems. Their poisonous effects are only now being slowly recognized. These facts suggest that, at a minimum, proper airing of newly purchased goods with an obvious chemical smell is a wise warning. Home and office windows should be opened during good weather. Evenone's car needs to be ventilated as well while in the garage. We need further research to understand better other potential health dangers, too. For example, the effects of overcrowding of schools (carbon dioxide build-up), the factory work environment (an endless list of potentially dangerous substances), and even home heating and cooling (the air conditioner may be our enemies, not our friends) have only recently started to come to light. Until we understand the effects of our new technological environment better, we can only hope that "there is no place like home." |
| 1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? |
|
[ ] |
| A. The air we breathe in is harmful. B. The water in everyday use is unsafe. C. Chemicals are added to the drinking water. D. Chemicals are released in the running water. |
| 2. In Paragraph 2, the underlined sentence means that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. bathing should be done with caution B. homes and offices should be aired often C. any pollution should be taken into consideration D. we should prevent any pollution from doing harm to us |
| 3. What is the purpose of the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. To call on us to guard our water. B. To show us that no place is like home. C. To make us aware of the pollution around us. D. To argue that neither homes nor offices are safe. |

| Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. "Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures," William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the everchanging 21st century, even the word "habit" carries a negative meaning. So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新). But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become. But don't bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they're there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. "The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder," says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. "But we are taught instead to 'decide', just as our president calls himself 'the Decider'." She adds, however, that "to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities." "All of us work through problems in ways of which we're unaware," she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life. The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. "This breaks the major rule in the American belief system-that anyone can do anything," explains M.J.Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will... and Ms. Markova's business partner. "That's a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you're good at and doing even more of it creates excellence. This is where developing new habits comes in. |
| 1. Brain researchers have discovered that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the forming of new habits can be guided B. the development of habits can be predicted C. the regulation of old habits can be transformed D. the track of new habits can be created unconsciously |
| 2. The underlined word "ruts" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. zones B. connections C. situations D. tracks |
| 3. Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova's view? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Decision makes no sense in choices. B. Curiosity makes creative minds active. C. Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind. D. Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas. |
| 4. The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. to give up our traditional habits deliberately B. to create and develop new habits consciously C. to resist the application of standardized testing D. to believe that old habits conflict with new habits |

| The Mississippi The Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its discovery in the 16th century. The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name-"misi" meaning "great" and "sipi" meaning "water". When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater. 1_____. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2480 miles long. Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping away farms, towns, everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. 2_____. Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is a remote place, the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. They keep to themselves, farming the rich soil of the delta. 3_____. 4_____. Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond. In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis XV. This city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West. Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. 5_____. New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world, and one of the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic. |
| A. It was the Mississippi that made the city what it is B. Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the flood waters C. Therefore, as we know, it's the third longest river in the world D. It is known that the "Great Water" has also been a frontier river E. However, they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortune F. The "Great Water" always remains a thread, for the streets of the city are below the'level of the river G. They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and preserving their own traditions |
