Passage Two
The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people． The amount of sleep that each person needs varies． In general, each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy． Some people, however, can get by just a few hours of sleep at night．
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps． But everyone needs some rest to stay alive． Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this． Sleep is, after all, a very basic need． But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept !
AI Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey． They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept． But they were surprised． Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping． He did not even own a bed． He never needed one．
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news- papers． His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia． Herpin offered the only clue to his condition． He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be- fore he had been born． Herpin died at the age of 94, never having slept a wink． {TS}The expression“get by”, in the last sentence of the first paragraph is______

Passage Three
Americans are well known for the strange diets they always seem to be following． It seems that Americans like to diet almost as much as they like to eat． New types of diet plans are always coming out． Usually, though, they don't stay popular for long．
There are many diets on the market． It is often difficult to know which ones really work． It's also hard to believe how fast a dieter is supposed to shed pounds． A lot has been written about dieting． And some interesting facts about diets and foods have been discovered．
For example, did you know that the more celery you eat, the more weight you will lose? Celery has “negative” calories． The body burns up more calories digesting a piece of celery than there are in the celery stick itself．
Dieters shun potatoes because they think they are fattening． But they aren't． A potato has about the same number of calories as an apple． To gain a single pound, you would have to eat eleven pounds of potatoes !
Some dieters even worry about getting fat from licking postage stamps． But they have nothing to worry about． The glue on an average stamp has only about one-tenth of a calorie． Maybe a diet of post- age stamps would be popular?
This passage is all about______

How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?
These are two important questions that many people are asking today． Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time, They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage．
For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land． Now, empty land is scarce． But more and more garbage is produced each year． However, garbage can be a good fuel to use． The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels． As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source． Burning garbage is not a new idea． Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years． The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water． The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby, buildings． In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year． The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil．
Our fossil fuel supplies are limited． Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs． This method could also reduce the amount if garbage piling up on the earth．

In 1924, Nordic ski events were held at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France． But the American skiers came home without medals． Norway took most of the medals for cross-country and ski jumping events that year． They did the same for many years after． From 1924 through 1972, the American skiers had no medals to show for their Olympic trips． The U．S． was generally thought to be weak in ski competition
But in 1974 it was discovered that the U． S． record was slightly better than people had been led to believe． And Norway's record was not quite as good． The discovery was a surprise and a delight to American ski fans, but even more so to American skier Anders Haugen． After fifty years, Anders got the medal he should have won back in 1924．
In the ski jump event at Chamonix in 1924, Haugen had scored in fourth place． He had just missed earning a medal． His score was 17． 916, just slightly behind Thorleif Haug of Norway． Haug's score of 18 had won him the bronze medal．
But in 1974, Norway's National Olympic Committee did a check of all final Olympic results． There had been an error in computing Haug's score! So Haugen, now, an elderly man, traveled across the ocean for his award． On September 12, 1974, hewas given a bronze medal in a special ceremony at the Norway Ski Museum．

In 1924, Nordic ski events were held at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France． But the American skiers came home without medals． Norway took most of the medals for cross-country and ski jumping events that year． They did the same for many years after． From 1924 through 1972, the American skiers had no medals to show for their Olympic trips． The U．S． was generally thought to be weak in ski competition
But in 1974 it was discovered that the U． S． record was slightly better than people had been led to believe． And Norway's record was not quite as good． The discovery was a surprise and a delight to American ski fans, but even more so to American skier Anders Haugen． After fifty years, Anders got the medal he should have won back in 1924．
In the ski jump event at Chamonix in 1924, Haugen had scored in fourth place． He had just missed earning a medal． His score was 17． 916, just slightly behind Thorleif Haug of Norway． Haug's score of 18 had won him the bronze medal．
But in 1974, Norway's National Olympic Committee did a check of all final Olympic results． There had been an error in computing Haug's score! So Haugen, now, an elderly man, traveled across the ocean for his award． On September 12, 1974, hewas given a bronze medal in a special ceremony at the Norway Ski Museum．
From 1924-1972, U． S． skiers were considered weak in Olympic competition because they______

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think．This is the research result of professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations．
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character．
Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns．Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors．White--collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking．Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need．"The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says．"Think hard and engage in conversation．Don't rely on pocket calculators."

Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking．Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need．"The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says．"Think hard and engage in conversation．Don't rely on pocket calculators."
Faulkner's research findings are based on __.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations．
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character．
Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.

It was a case of emergency．The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke．She couldn't wake her mother, so she dialed "zero", An operator immediately called the fire department．Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided.
Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help．Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations．Here are some points.
Memorizing certain facts is important．Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live．Try to keep what they learn within their abilities．Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned.
Be sure your children know how to use the telephone．They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least．And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.
Practice over a period of several days．Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.
From this passage, why is it a good idea for children to learn how to use the telephone?

Be sure your children know how to use the telephone．They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least．And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.
Practice over a period of several days．Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.
Based on this passage, over-learning is good because __.

根据以下资料，回答511-514题。
You have been badly injured in a car accident．It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident．However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you．If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB and O．A simple test can indicate a person's blood type．Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood．Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be trans fused carefully．Basically, A and B cannot be mixed．A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B．O can give to any other group, hence it is often called the universal donor．For the opposite reason, AB sometimes called the universal recipient．However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital．In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality．Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O．The rarest is type AB．Other races have different percentages．For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.
A good title for this passage is __.

Cirque du Soleil (say it: Serk du So-lay) is being accused of out-dated thinking about the dangers of AIDS．It is a modern acrobatic circus from Canada that tours in the United States and other countries.
Last April, the company fired Matthew Cusick because he was HIV positive．This was after he spent four months learning his part in an act.
A spokesman for the circus said Cusick was fired for safety reasons．They said he was a danger to others.
He disagreed.
Hundreds of people picketed a show in San Francisco．They said that firing him was not legal．
Cusick says the company knew he was HIV positive when they hired him．It was not fair to let him put so much time into learning his act, and then fire him before he performed.
He says he is not a danger to others．People can only get AIDS if infected blood contacts another person's blood, or open wound.
The company says what their acrobats do is very, very dangerous．They perform tricks without nets．Someone might fall and get hurt．It could be bloody．They say it is too risky to let a person with HIV take part in an act.
People who run the circus say it hurts to be accused of discrimination.
Matthew Cusick says he feels hurt that he can't perform in the big blue and yellow tent.
Dozens of artists, actors, writers and entertainers got involved in protesting the firing of Matthew Cusick．Some names you might know are: the Actors' Equity Union (45,000 members), Rosie O'Donnell, Rod McKuen, and Chad Allen．They also protested at a showing in Orange County．They said "HIV discrimination is unacceptable."

Cirque du Soleil (say it: Serk du So-lay) is being accused of out-dated thinking about the dangers of AIDS．It is a modern acrobatic circus from Canada that tours in the United States and other countries.
Last April, the company fired Matthew Cusick because he was HIV positive．This was after he spent four months learning his part in an act.
A spokesman for the circus said Cusick was fired for safety reasons．They said he was a danger to others.
He disagreed.
Hundreds of people picketed a show in San Francisco．They said that firing him was not legal．
Cusick says the company knew he was HIV positive when they hired him．It was not fair to let him put so much time into learning his act, and then fire him before he performed.
He says he is not a danger to others．People can only get AIDS if infected blood contacts another person's blood, or open wound.
The company says what their acrobats do is very, very dangerous．They perform tricks without nets．Someone might fall and get hurt．It could be bloody．They say it is too risky to let a person with HIV take part in an act.

Years ago our cities were full of cars, buses and trucks．Now the streets are completely congested (拥挤的) and it is very difficult to drive a car along them．Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights．What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years? Will enormous ( 巨大的 ) motorways be built across them? With-big motorways cutting across them, full of noisy, dirty cars and lorries, our cities are going to be awful places．How can we solve the problem?
There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private cars．In 1989, for example, the authorities in Rome began an interesting experiment: passengers on the city buses did not have to pay for their tickets.
In Stockholm there was another experiment: people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus, trolley bus, train or tram in all the city.
In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles, and pedestrians are safe there.
In London there is another experiment: part of the street is for buses only, so the buses can travel fast．There are no cars or taxies in front of them.
What the writer worries about in a big city is __.

Pub hours shake-up revealed next week
By James Hardy Political Editor
PUBS and clubs will be allowed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britain's outdated licensing (许可证发放) laws.
Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill (议案) to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queen's Speech next week．Some public bars and clubs could be open all hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours.
Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism (破坏行为) after 11p.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same time．
The move will be opposed by some MPs (下院议员) who fear it will lead to increased alcoholism, drunken behavior and crime．But ministers say there will be controls on which pubs and clubs are allowed to open 24 hours a day.
Places which consistently attract violent drunks and troublemakers will be turned down.
Mr．Blair said: "We believe there should be greater flexibility in licensing．In the end, the evidence that we have is that it may help in the fight against anti-social behavior．At the moment the very fixed nature of the hours sometimes means that you get particular problems outside pubs and city centers at particular hours of the evening."
The big change will be accompanied by a strict action on petty criminals who cause misery to urban and rural communities.
In a bid to prevent criticism of the licensing improvement, the Govenment is to extend on-the-spot fines to a range of offences from vandalism.
The PM said yesterday petty crime was the single biggest cause of daily aggressive behavior for millions.
The "Bill" in the second paragraph refers to __．

Pub hours shake-up revealed next week
By James Hardy Political Editor
PUBS and clubs will be allowed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britain's outdated licensing (许可证发放) laws.
Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill (议案) to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queen's Speech next week．Some public bars and clubs could be open all hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours.
Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism (破坏行为) after 11p.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same time．

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don't know．This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is．If you are sitting at a table with people you don't know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order．You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
Most cities and towns have no roles about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars．Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day．
Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people．If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a "doggie bag"．It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you are taking food for yourself.
Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal．Some people have "Sunday dinner"．This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check．They are not included in the price of the meal, either．A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave．In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there．Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

Scotland provides superb opportunities to enjoy wild and grand scenery which is even more impressive than the postcards suggest．It also offers towns and cities with a rich cultural life, a good mix of accommodation and places to eat and drink．Friendly and welcoming, it is an interesting and colorful all-season destination, where landscapes and the environment, sport and leisure pursuits, heritage and history, culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience.
The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is: one of the last places inside the crowded and frenetic European Union where it is possible to be alone isolated countryside．This is not to say that Scotland, like everywhere else, does not have its tourist traps, its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots．But it is relatively easy to escape from them.
It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England.
Indeed, no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots．They successfully resisted English attempts at domination for seven hundred years, and many differences between the two countries persist.
Scotland's history, embodied in its castles, battlefields, and ancient links with France, Flanders and Scandinavia, is special.

Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable -- especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable -- especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times．Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade．And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority．In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade．And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece．But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared．Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century．And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority．By 1680, The umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.
By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe．Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight．It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.

Californian Michael Schwabe said goodbye to the gas pump two years ago．He leased an electric car．Schwabe says he gets more out of driving an electric car than just a charge.
"With the price of gasoline and with the problems with clean air, it's important we get electric vehicles out on the road."
On California roads there are about two thousand electric cars．By 2003, ten percent of all new cars may be required to have zero emissions．This is a mandate automakers say it is way ahead of its time.
Gloria Bergquist of the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers says, "The technology (for zero emissions) isn't here yet; it still needs advancement in driving range to make it more appealing to a wider consumer audience."
Auto makers blame it on the batteries．Power runs out on most cars after about 70 miles．However, some cars can now go more than 100 miles on a charge．Batteries are expensive．Carmakers say there is nothing they can do about it.
Tim Carmichael of the Clean Air Coalition says, "The automakers have not built a vehicle unless required to do so, so it's very important for the state to stay committed to this program requiting automakers to build small amounts in beginning years and then the market will take off." {TS}When did Michael Schwabe say goodbye to the gas pump?

When I was about 12 1 had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn't a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on．I put up with her as long as I could．At last, with great anger, I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly．Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not?"
True? I wanted to know how to strike back．What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change (like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change．
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it.
"That's just for you," he said．"You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it．But you've got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt．When something said about you is true you'll know it．You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．

Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games．Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules．Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun．Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.

Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.
They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things．Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film．If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward．The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near．But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories．In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory．When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak．This turns on a light to warn people in the factory．At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward．It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour.
Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains.

Mr．Hill works in a bank, and lives alone．The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Jack．Mr．Hill does not see his sister, or her family, from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Jack's seventeen birthdays.
Last week Mr．Hill had quite a surprise．He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast; he parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal．Just then, there was a knock at the door．He opened the door, to find a policeman standing on the door-step.
"What have I done wrong?" Mr．Hill asked himself．"Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?"
"Hello, Uncle," said the policeman, "My name is Jack."

Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less．That describes the way many of us live today．We are doing more, but enjoying it less．And when that doesn't work, we get the problem．In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach.
The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe．Satisfaction lies with less, not with more．Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek.
Arthur Lindman, in his very effective book, "The Harried Leisure Class," described the uselessness of pursuing more．His research focused on what people did with their leisure time．He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time．But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them．Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety．That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year.
Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this．The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago．It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more.
If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me．How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on?
The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things．The more I give up, the more I seem to gain．But words will never convince you．You must try it for yourself．

We first think of the traditional or nuclear family．This is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children．Most couples wanted to have four children, two boys, two girls.
Some nuclear families, however, may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them, that is three generations．This kind of family with grandparents, parents, and grandchildren is called an extended family．This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century, but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter．This is more possible now that American homes have become larger．What is interesting, however, is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families, this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family, with just two generations again living together, a grandparent and parents, with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits．
Now, the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family．In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children．As I said, this can be the result of the husband's death, of an unmarried mother, of a separation or divorce．There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children, for any of the same reasons．A motherless family may also be fatherless, but still a family with one adult．This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.
One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common．A single parent with one or more children will marry again．Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent．Together they will start what is called a blended family, which blends together or combines the children from two other families.

What is true to the fact in America?
A.
There are more and more members in a famil
B.
There are less and less members in a famil
C.
There is an increasing number of grandparents who refuse to look after their grandchildre
D.
There is an increasing number of grandparents who live separately from their childre

We first think of the traditional or nuclear family．This is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children．Most couples wanted to have four children, two boys, two girls.
Some nuclear families, however, may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them, that is three generations．This kind of family with grandparents, parents, and grandchildren is called an extended family．This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century, but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter．This is more possible now that American homes have become larger．What is interesting, however, is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families, this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family, with just two generations again living together, a grandparent and parents, with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits．
Now, the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family．In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children．As I said, this can be the result of the husband's death, of an unmarried mother, of a separation or divorce．There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children, for any of the same reasons．A motherless family may also be fatherless, but still a family with one adult．This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.
One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common．A single parent with one or more children will marry again．Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent．Together they will start what is called a blended family, which blends together or combines the children from two other families.

Key James, Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government, loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class, conservative, educated and still be truly black．Once, during an abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life．"If you understood what these women go through," the woman said, "you would realize that abortion is their only choice."
James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare．She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family．Now she discovers another child is on the way．"How would you counsel that woman?" asked James.
"Have an abortion," the woman responded．"That child would have a very poor quality of life."
"I have a vested interest in your answer," James said．"The woman I described was my mother．I was the fifth of six children born into poverty．And, in case you're interested, the quality of my life is just fine!"
"To mm the tables" means __.

Every year gray whales migrate from the Bering Sea in Alaska to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
Eleven gray whales have died in the San Francisco Bay in the last three weeks．No one knows why the whales are dying.
Last year 270 whales died along the whales' migration route．Many people think starvation is the cause．This year the dead whales seem to have more blubber (fat) on them.
Twenty years ago, the gray whale was listed as an endangered species.
Some scientists think that the larger number of whales makes it hard to find enough food．More whales create more pressure on the food supply, a supply that some scientists say may have dwindled as a result of the warm waters of El Nino.
Most of the whales have been dead for many days before they are found and studied．This makes it hard to find the reason for death.
65 whales have been seen in the San Francisco Bay Area this year compared to 17 last year．The whales could be dying from many diseases, but it may be over-population．
Which of the following is NOT a possible reason for whales dying?

Of all Barry H．Landau's anecdotes about his friendships with presidential dogs, perhaps the best is the one about the time the Clinton White House called to postpone his play-date with Buddy．
Yes, Landau is both human and an adult, a 60-year-old author, presidential historian, former White House protocol officer and memorabilia collector．But so enamored is he of dogs, and so well connected to a succession of presidents, that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy, Bill Clinton's Labrador retriever (拉布拉多犬) .
Logistics got in the way, though, and hence Clinton secretary Betty Currie's apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution, where Landau was doing research: "I'm sorry, but we'll have to reschedule Mr．Landau's play-date with Buddy."
Not surprisingly, this is a happy week for Landau, with the new Obama family dog, Bo, joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington．It's one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency.
"Having a dog just humanizes a president," he says．"It completes the picture．It's something people can relate to."
And Landau has related to the best of them．He's known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration．Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matching orange inaugural dog coats worn by LBJ's twin beagles (小猎犬) , Him and Her, and a photo of Landau kissing Clipper, JFK's German shepherd.

The traffic lights were red when the driver reached them．To the surprise of his passenger, the ear did not slow down．Unexpectedly the passenger was thrown forward in the vehicle as the driver put on his brakes at the last moment．The car stopped just in time.

The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday．Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-populated low regions around the globe.
The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans．It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors.
Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice．Both processes are caused by global warming．The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai.
Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say．But up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans.
The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the models with observed data．Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.

Many people use wood stoves and fireplaces to heat their homes．Scientists have become worried about the smoke that they give off．Harmful chemicals are in the smoke．The smoke is causing air pollution．The pieces of pollution, called soot, are floating in the air．They are too tiny to see．Scientists must use a microscope to see them.
Small amounts of soot are safe, but large amounts can be dangerous．The govenment wants to limit this kind of pollution．It may stop people from using their fireplaces.
The air is tested every day．When soot levels are high, more than 65 micrograms of soot per cubic meter, factories must stop making smoke．The government thinks that limit should be much lower.
Factories produce the most smoke and soot．But the government thinks that all types of burning should be limited．The soot levels from factories and homes could be limited．Home owners may have to install new wood stoves that they comply with the new law．Or, they may not be able to bum on days when the air quality is bad.
Residents of some towns are fined if they violate the burning ban．Scientists hope these new regulations will make the air cleaner and less harmful to breathe.
Why is it dangerous to burn too much wood?

At the first sight the planet Mars does not appear very welcome to any kind of life．It has very little oxygen and water, the temperature at night is below -50~Cand winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms．However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts．Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago．At that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water．In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists.
Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced．The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun's heat in the planet's atmosphere．With warmth, water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), simple plants could begin to grow．These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living．It is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years．In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in special closed environments．They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.

Train companies in Tokyo are taking action to reduce the number of people jumping in front of trains．They are fitting blue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere．The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capital's busy Yamanote Line．There has been an alarming rise in the number of people committing suicide at train stations．A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March．This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earlier．In 2008, Japan had nearly 2,000 suicides by jumping in front of a train; around six percent of all suicides nationwide．Suicides have risen sharply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions.
No one knows if the blue lights will work．There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces suicidal feelings． Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: "We thought we had to do something to save lives．We know there is no scientific proof that blue lights deter suicides, but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives." The Associated Press news agency reports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki Takahashi．She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea: "We associate the color with the sky and the sea．It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing suicide," she said．Other companies are watching this experiment with interest.
Why blue lights are installed in many train stations?

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think．This is the research result of professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations．
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character．
Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns．Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors．White--collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking．Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need．"The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says．"Think hard and engage in conversation．Don't rely on pocket calculators."

The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns．Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors．White--collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking．Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need．"The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says．"Think hard and engage in conversation．Don't rely on pocket calculators."
Faulkner's research findings are based on __.
A.
a survey of farmers in northern Japan
B.
tests performed on a thousand old people
C.
the study of brain volumes of different people
D.
the latest development of computer technology

Online distance learning is an instructional system which connects learners with educational resources．Students work on their own at home, at work, or at school and communicate with faculty and other students by means of e-mail, electronic meetings, videoconferencing, chat rooms, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication．There are both advantages and disadvantages to online distance learning.
There are many benefits to using online distance learning environments．Online education is available all the time, anywhere and to all people．However, there are weaknesses for some learners．The online learner only has the written text and no other face-to-face hints．This may confuse the learner and cause misunderstanding．While distance learning allows for an openness, it is also difficult because it is done by e-mail messages and writing, and therefore may take more time than face-to-face learning．Sometimes the messages can be overwhelming for many online students.
Universities, colleges and schools use online distance learning environments．These are important for students who may be unable to attend classes for various reasons like illnesses or busy everyday schedules．Some learners just want to further their studies at home．They enjoy the convenience of home learning as they take regular programs or enrichment classes.
Online courses keep learners very occupied at all hours of the day．There are a great many messages and other online resources to read and respond to．Most learners have regular jobs or attend regular school classes on ground as well．However, the benefits are clear．Online distance learning is becoming very popular．Some online classes have become a profitable business as they replace regular traditional means of learning.

It was a case of emergency．The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke．She couldn't wake her mother, so she dialed "zero", An operator immediately called the fire department．Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided.
Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help．Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations．Here are some points.
Memorizing certain facts is important．Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live．Try to keep what they learn within their abilities．Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned.
Be sure your children know how to use the telephone．They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least．And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.
Practice over a period of several days．Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.
From this passage, why is it a good idea for children to learn how to use the telephone?

Practice over a period of several days．Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.
