Women are friendly．But men are more competitive．Why? Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin （荷尔蒙催生素）．Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently． "Women tend to be social in their behavior．They often share with others．But men lend to be competitive．They are trying to improve their social status," said Professor Ryan． Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions （互动） such as falling in love or giving birth． But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy． Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship． Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37．Half of the participants（参与者）received oxytocin．The other half received placebo （安慰剂）． After a week, the two groups switched with participants．They went through the same procedure with the other material． Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions．Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions．The questions were about telling friendship from competition．And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions． The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better． Professor Ryan thus concluded: "Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions．And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors （因素） that are mainly hormonal．" 1.What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text? A.Placebo． B.Oxytocin． C.The gesture． D.The social status． 2.What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment? A.Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way． B.Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love． C.Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others' success． D.Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences． 3.Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment? A.To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions． B.To know the differences between friendship and competition． C.To know people's different abilities to answer questions． D.To test people's understanding of body language． 4.The author develops the text by______． A.explaining people's behaviors B.describing his own experiences C.distinguishing sexual differences D.discussing research experiments

If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a "lesson" in sorting garbage, as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations. It’s now required that people should sort garbage into four categories, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan. More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People’s Daily. According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy, under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash, the study noted. According to Xinhua News Agency, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. In the past, some previous garbage regulations didn’t give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage. "It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting." Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily. He also added "the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone" Aside from China, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill, reported Xinhua. There is a fixed time for disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time. In Germany too, people are asked to sort waste into specific categories, reported HuffPost. For example, in Berlin, people have yellow bins for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard. 1.What can we learn from paragraph 1? A.Poisonous waste belongs to four categories in sorting. B.People will be fined not less than 200 yuan. C.All the cities use the same regulations as Shanghai. D.Shanghai works as a pioneer in garbage sorting. 2.Which statement is true according to the passage? A.Garbage-sorting system have been built in 46 major cities. B.Not all the public attach importance to garbage sorting. C.People aren’t fined clearly if they fail to sort garbage now. D.People may be put in prison because of littering in Germany. 3.What can be inferred from Liu Jianguo’s words? A.He thinks highly of the legal regulations in garbage sorting. B.The sorting action should be changed from compulsory to voluntary. C.Legal guarantee is a must to promote garbage sorting. D.There is a growing concern over garbage sorting worldwide. 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Shanghai Puts Garbage-sorting Into Practice B.Regulations Are of Great Importance C.Garbage Is Hard to Recycle Appropriately D.Cities Get Serious About Waste

I recently came in contact with celebrity magazines. My family isn’t one to give money for pictures of skinny, drunk celebrities with paragraphs about their relationships and shopping cart times. Thus, I was excited to finally get a chance to read about other people’s attractive yet troubled lives. Right away I noticed how each magazine seemed to be a copy of the other. They had headlines and pictures that were almost the same. Still, the pictures of perfectly constructed faces with cute designers outfits going on with their daily lives made me read on. Wait, celebrities taking their dogs for walk? Spending an afternoon at a park? All of these things seemed so ordinary—things my own family and I do together often. I suddenly realized how unextraordinary the people in these magazines were. They are simply normal people who happen to have a cool job and much money. For some reason, pictures of them doing things like buying milk at the store appeal to millions of readers. Then, when these regular people mess up, their mistakes is painted onto hundreds of newspapers and internet sites. What if every time we made a mistake, it was made public? Have you ever failed a test? Imagine seeing pictures of you on the front of a newspaper with headlines like, “Regular Schooling Isn’t Enough”. You’d be embarrassed. Now, I’m not necessarily taking the celebrity’s side. I’m more realizing the fact that these people we were crazy about are just ordinary human beings with many photographs following them around. Role models? I’d think not. Personally, I’d rather look up to people in any community who have accomplished a lot instead of an ordinary person walking his dog in Berverly Hills. 1.What do we know about the author’s family? A.They admire celebrities very much. B.They often buy celebrity magazines. C.They are not interested in celebrities. D.They are curious about the life of celebrities. 2.What does the author think of celebrities? A.They live happy life. B.They seldom do usual things. C.They deserve people’s admiration. D.They are just ordinary people like us. 3.Who is most likely to be the author’s role model? A.Celebrities who live ordinary live. B.Common people who do great things. C.Extraordinary people who accomplish a lot. D.People who make great contributions to communities. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To describe the actual life of celebrities. B.To ask us to be realistic about other’s mistakes. C.To show people’s different attitudes towards celebrities. D.To advise us to have a right attitude towards celebrities.
