18.Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness,but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labour through your work,you may say that you're"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.For some people that peak comes during the forenoon.For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自語)as"Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle,but you can make your life fit it better.Habit can help.Dr.Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour.This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up energy and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.Get up with a yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.

32.If you want to work better at your low point in the morning,you shouldC.
A.change your energy cycle                        
B.overcome your laziness

8.Once many years ago,I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming.Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide.In closing she called me a hero.
That got me thinking about what a hero is.Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car?If so,how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life?
Today I looked up the word"hero"in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant.It read"a person who does something brave"and also"a person who is good and noble".
That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave.So I thought about something very important.And I remembered what happened to me years ago.
After my marriage of twenty years ended,I was in such a condition.I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery.When I returned home,someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend.That wonderful card probably saved my life.That person,without even knowing it,saved a life and became a hero.
The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy.In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero.I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤兒院).Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world.The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten.Hopefully,most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared.If it works,we will also become"heroes".
56.The main idea of the passage isB
A.why the writer should be a hero     
B.what a hero exactly is
C.whether the writer is a hero             
D.that everyone is a hero
57.Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?A
A.Because his story saved her son's life.
B.Because he saved a family from a burning car.
C.Because he asked her son not to kill himself.
D.Because he was cute and kind to everybody.
58.What does the underlined word"it"in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?
C
A.The wonderful card the writer received.
B.The action of sending the card.
C.The fact that the sender helped the writer.
D.The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.
59.According to the writer,who can be considered as a hero?D
A.A person who is brave
B.A person who writes wonderful stories.
C.A person who can hold a door for others
D.A person who helps someone in trouble.

6.In the United States,30 percent of the people have a"weight problem".To many people the cause is obvious (明顯的):they eat too much.But scientific evidence (證據(jù)) does little to support this idea.Going back to America of 1910,we find that people were thinner than today,yet they ate more food.In those days people worked harder physically,walked more,used machines much less,and didn't watch television.
Several modern studies,moreover,have shown that fatter people don't eat more on average than thinner people.A 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers showed that fat people eat less than slim (苗條的) people.
Studies also show that slim people are more active than fat people.A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting facts:
The more the man ran,the greater loss of the body fat.
The more they ran,the greater increase in food intake.
Thus,those who ran the most ate the most,yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
29.Nowadays many Americans have the problem thatC.
A.they are too slim              
B.they work too hard
C.they are too fat           
D.they lose too much body fat
30.According to the passage,how many people in 900 Americans have a"weight problem"?D
A.150.B.300.C.600.D.270.
31.Is there any scientific evidence to support the idea that eating too much is the cause of a"weight problem"?C
A.Yes,there is plenty of evidence.
B.Of course,there is some evidence to support this.
C.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.
D.We are not sure.
32.The Americans in 1910A.
A.a(chǎn)te more food and had more physical activities
B.a(chǎn)te less food but had more physical activities
C.a(chǎn)te less food and had less physical activities
D.had more problems.

13.A study involving 22brands of lipstick(口紅) found that 55percent contained small amounts of lead(鉛)which affected women's mental health.
Underwriters Laboratories showed that 12of the lip products tested positive for the harmful substance(物質(zhì)) with the highest levels at 3.22parts per million.
Dr.SEAN Palfery,medical director for the Boston Lead Poisoning Prevention Program,warned that even low-level lead exposure causes a serious health risk and could affect mental health.He said:"What we know now is that even the lowest levels of lead can harm your IQ,your behavior,your ability to learn."
Many anti-lead activists also stress the need to protect children and pregnant women.Dr.Halyna Breslawec,chief scientist for the Personal Care Products Council,added:"If you were serious about the public health aspects of lead poisoning you would not be looking at lipstick."
Currently there are no standard set by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) limiting levels in lipstick and it is up to manufacturers to decide on the safety tests performed.Lead is not put in lipstick on purpose but many color additives(添加劑) contain small levels of lead naturally found in soil,water and air.
Janet Nudelman of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics(化妝品),stated:"Clearly the concerning part is that more than half of the lipstick brands do contain lead,but nearly half of them don't,proving that it's possible to produce lipstick without lead."
The recent findings prove that progress is being made.A 2012study by the FDA found the highest lead level in lipstick was 7parts per million.And another study conducted earlier last year showed that 400popular lipstick brands comprised small amounts of lead.
Lipstick made by L'Oreal,Maybelline,Cover Girl,NARS and Stargazer landed in the top ten,causing the FDA to consider whether it should recommend an upper limit.
33.What does the passage mainly about?B
A.How to make lipstick without harmful lead.
B.Lipstick containing lead affects women's health.
C.Lipstick does great harm to women's stomachs.
D.The best ways to reduce lead in lipstick.
34.The main reason why some lipstick brands contain lead is thatA.
A.many color additives in lipstick have small levels of lead
B.producers put small levels of lead in lipstick on purpose.
C.there are no standards limiting lead levels in lipstick.
D.it is up to producers to decide on the safety tests.
35.The underlined word"comprised"in Paragraph meansA.
A.contained         B.produced       C.destroyed        D.reduced.

3.The Israeli farmers who pioneered the revolutionary technology known as drip irrigation weren't trying to solve  one of the world's most urgent problems.They were just trying to survive.They lived in the desert,and they didn't have enough water to grow their crops.
In its simplest form,it was little more than a pipe with holes in it.But behind each hole was a hi-tech dripper that let out just the fight amount of water.Snaked along a row of crops so that the holes were positioned directly above the roots,the pipe could direct each precious drop of water directly to the plants,getting a bigger harvest while using a very small amount of the water.
Over time,the farmers improved upon the technology,perfecting the drippers that regulated the flow of water,and connecting the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when.
If the global population kept growing,the rest of the world would increasingly resemble their little community in the desert.So they began selling their irrigation systems in other parts of the world,eventually expanding to more than 110countries.Netafirm,the company says it's lifting people out of poverty and conserving water at a time when the importance of doing so has never been clearer.
The mass adoption of drip irrigation won't save the world by itself.To avoid the coming catastrophe,nearly everybody will,in some way,have to do more with less,perhaps through accepting and using other new technologies.Otherwise,it's going to get ugly.

32.Why is drip irrigation called"the revolutionary technology"?C
A.It saves the world all by itself.    
B.It is controlled by computers.
C.It makes irrigation more effective.
D.It provides deserts with water.
33.What does"one of the world's most urgent problems"in Paragraph l refer to?A
A.Lacking water.  B.Lacking labor.    
C.Lacking food.   D.Lacking energy.
34.How does the drip irrigation help farmers with crops?B
A.By drilling holes on the pipes.    
B.By regulating water via drippers.
C.By snaking pipes along the crops.
D.By placing pipes just above roots.
35.Which of the following will be the best slogan for Netafirm to sell the irrigation systems?A
A.Less water;More harvest.    
B.New technology;New world.
C.More grain;Less starvation.
D.Water saving;World surviving.
