A woman wears a face mask to protect her from polluted air in Lanzhou, China, in December. A new study showed air pollution might put people more at risk for heart disease than scientists had thought. Kristin Miller, a doctoral student at the University of Washington, said chances of getting the disease were related to not only which city a woman lived in, but also where in the city. The study found that the effects of air pollution were often larger within cities than between cities. The new findings make experts suspect that current pollution limits may be inadequate. Scientists examined rates of heart attack, stroke (中风) and other cardiovascular (心脏血管的) events in women with long-term exposure to air pollution. The study involved women over the age of fifty who had no sign of cardiovascular disease at the start of the research. The study followed the women for as long as nine years to see how they would develop cardiovascular problems. The researchers also examined levels of fine particles (粒子，微粒) in the air in 36 areas across the country. That information came from the Environmental Protection Agency. The extremely small particles came from industrial smoke and traffic, along with things like wood-burning fireplaces in houses. In the study, every ten-microgram increase in pollution was linked to a twenty-four percent increase in the risk of a cardiovascular event. But it was related to a seventy-six percent increase in the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. But just how do particles in the air damage the cardiovascular system? The particles may cause the lungs to swell and release chemicals from the pollutants into the blood. The chemicals then could damage the heart. 1.The passage mainly talks about______. A. the effects of pollution on women B. how to protect women from air pollution C. how air pollution damages a person’s heart D. the relationship between air pollution and heart diseases 2.The case of the woman wearing a face mask shows ______. A. people are paying more and more attention to their health B. the woman is afraid of getting heart disease C. Lanzhou city is more heavily polluted than other cities D. air pollution is becoming more and more serious 3.We can learn from the passage that _______. A. air pollution is more serious than scientists thought B. the control of air pollution is effective in some cities C. people throughout a city have the same risk of getting heart diseases D. air pollution affects women more than men 4.The study implies that ______. A. air pollution has a bigger effect on older women than younger women B. small particles in the air mainly come from industrial smoke C. the rise in air pollution may lead to a higher death rate from cardiovascular disease D. air pollution has been affecting people for as long as nine years in the city of Lanzhou

When you enter a crowded room or go on a picnic or to a party, who is the most attractive and appealing person? It is the person who is cheerful, has a smiling face and behaves as if he or she is enjoying every moment of the event! Such people have an optimistic opinion on life. They are the ones with a positive attitude. On the other hand, let’s see that fellow in the corner with a long face. He is most probably thinking about the time and money wasted in having fun. He is a pessimist, one with a negative attitude. A person with a positive attitude gets on well with the job at hand. He doesn’t worry about what’s gone before or what might happen in the future. If there is a problem, he quickly thinks of ways to solve it. If the problem cannot be solved singly, he seeks help from someone else. He doesn’t feel that it’s beneath his dignity to seek assistance. When Sonal lost her history notes days before an important examination, she sat down and cried. Then she pulled herself together, borrowed a friend’s notes, worked day and night and managed to copy down whatever she had lost. Sonal passed the exam with flying colors. It’s just not possible, even for the greatest optimist, to smile all the time and feel good all day. Everyone has a period of blues now and then, when everything seems sad and without cheer. But once you develop a positive attitude, once you realize that life is a series of ups and downs, dark clouds and bright sunshine, in no time at all, you’ve bounced back, ready to welcome the world again with open arms and a huge smile! So from this moment on, keep your face to the sunshine and you’ll never see the shadows. 1.What might be the best title of the passage？ A. To live with an aim in life B. To be a pessimist or optimist C. Life is full of ups and downs D. Develop the positive attitude 2.The case of Sonal suggested that _______. A. a person can solve the problem once he thinks of a way B. Sonal made up for what she had lost by working day and night C. Sonal was a pessimist because he lost her history notes D. the history notes that she lost was not important for her 3.The underlined phrase bounced back in the last paragraph means_______. A. moved back and forth B. jumped up C. returned to active state D. came back 4.According to the last paragraph, which of the following statement is TRUE? A. If you always look at the shadows, you will be in high spirits. B. It is impossible for a person to be in a good mood all the time. C. A negative attitude will make you welcome life with a big smile. D. When someone feels sad, he thinks the world comes to an end.
How did a high school football coach build a championship dynasty by never playing to win? In Smith Center, Kansas, Roger Barta, 64, a longtime coach and former math teacher at Smith Center High School, wearing a red shirt, stood before his players. “…Guys. We don't talk about winning and losing. We talk about getting a little better every day, about being a team.” Over the next four months, his team went on to beat other teams, winning another perfect season. Barta grew up in Plainville, and when a back injury ended Barta's playing career, he wasn't sure whether he wanted to be a college student. One summer, he took a job in the Kansas oil fields. It took him a single rainy day of working in the field to realize that university was for him. “I almost froze to death,” he says. He looked around at his co-workers, who were aged beyond their years. "They were all missing fingers and teeth. I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life." He returned to Fort Hays State to earn a mathematics degree and went on to get a master's in math education at the University of Georgia. Today, Barta spends as much time helping players figure out what they want to do with their lives as he does coaching. To most kids here, Barta is not just a winning coach but also a mentor(导师，顾问). Barta insists that the members of his team be well-rounded. During last year's playoffs(附加赛), for instance, Joe Osburn was struggling with Macbeth in English class. Barta told him that either he mastered Shakespeare or his season was finished. Barta got the captains involved, and they took turns quizzing Osburn on his lines of Shakespeare. He pulled his grades up and kept playing. “Roger likes everything about football,” says Barta's wife, Pam. “But what he loves most is watching the boys learn a little more.” 1.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A．How Barta built a championship dynasty? B．Barta’s career as a coach. C．How Barta taught his students football skills. D．Barta’s attitude towards winning and losing. 2.From the the passage we know Barta . A．hurt his back in an oil field B．didn’t want to be a college student C．wasn’t satisfied with being an oil worker D．began his playing career at high school 3.Which of the following statements about Barta is TRUE?? A．He earned his master’s degree from Fort Hays State. B．He helps his players deal with life. C．He likes Shakespeare very much. D．He loves football more than anything else. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．How to Be a Good Football Coach B．A Brief Introduction to Roger Barta C．Coach and Math Teacher—Roger Barta D．Life Coach—Roger Barta
When you think of snowy winter festivals, Sapporo in Japan probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. In Japan, there are winter festivals every year that draw great crowds and offer lots of attractions to everybody. The biggest one is the Sapporo Snow Festival which is held every year in February on Japan's snow covered northern island, Hokkaido(北海道). The Sapporo Snow Festival was the first of its kind held in Japan, and it is still the biggest. Every year, 2 million snow lovers rush to Sapporo, the biggest city in Hokkaido, to enjoy the Snow Festival in the first two weeks of February. At the Festival, you can see hundreds of snow sculptures made by artists from all over the world. Some are a couple of building stories high and weigh tons. There are ice sculptures too, and ice bars where you can go inside and have a beer. The Sapporo Snow Festival was started in the 1950's by a group of high school kids. Feeling very bored in winter, they started a snow sculptures competition. Every year, more kids took part in the competition and now the festival draws snow artists from 15 different countries. There are also musical performances, light shows, and snowball fights. Every major area has its own snow festival. One of the most popular is the Iwate Snow Festival. It's held in the small town of Shizukuishi in early or mid-February. Iwate is also famous for its yearly fireworks displays, where festival-goers can watch the colors reflected off the snow. In Iwate, you can see traditional Japanese musicians and dancers perform on floats. If you want a truly unique winter festival experience, northern Japan is a great place to go.

But alopecia(秃头症) had 3her just a little of it. Hill, a wig(假发) maker, was about to change that. At 30, Hill knows from experience how a woman feels when she 4her hair.

Anxiety is the proper emotion when the immediate personal terror — of a volcano, an arrow, a stab（刺伤）in the back and other disasters — is directed against one’s self–disappears. The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified（不具体的）and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety — for good times may end. If the world is going badly — it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus；the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this unclear sense of unease. It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work. While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom（症状）which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life–insurance policy which may have out–of–date provisions in it, into having a conference with Bill’s teacher even though his report card looks all right. People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, and don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all or drive so tensely that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads. 1.In the world that produces anxiety, _____. A. people have sudden uneasiness B. everything goes well C. people are clear about their life D. danger is almost everywhere 2.The author holds that _____. A. anxiety is a good thing B. anxiety is a symptom of mental illness C. some anxiety can lead to changes for the better D. no anxiety is bad for society 3.Accidents of the road tend to be caused by _____. A. all those who are too anxious B. all those who have anxiety C. those who have no anxiety D. those who are not anxious enough 4.The best title for the passage would be _____. A. Anxiety B. The Right Amount of Anxiety C. Anxiety vs Safety D. Different Attitudes to Anxiety
In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car! Not all past predictions have been proved wrong. A few of them have been surprisingly accurate (正确无误). Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card, the fax machine and even the internet years before they happened. But for each prediction that has come true, some others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past. Robot Helpers Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other working environments. Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes. So why hasn’t happened? Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy(笨拙的). And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange. At home we seem to be doing fine without them. Telephones of tomorrow? In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet. Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked (忽略) something obvious: people desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower? Probably not — it could be uncomfortable! Just because technology doesn’t always mean people will want to use it. And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring. 1.The passage mainly deals with______. A. predictions that can catch our imagination B. predictions that haven’t come true C. new technology can benefit our life D. predictions that have come true 2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Technology doesn’t always mean people will want to use it. B. Predictions don’t need to consider people’s practical use of the technology. C. Not all the high-tech things people thought we’d be using by now are widely used. D. High-tech things are not always convenient to people’s life. 3.Robot Helpers haven’t been used in most people’s homes because ______. A. using the kind of robots at home is simply a waste of time and money B. the kind of robots hasn’t been developed yet C. people find it difficult to control the kind of robots D. the kind of robots won’t bring people practical use 4.How does the writer find the flying car? A. It is too difficult to imagine. B. It is too crazy an idea to realize. C. It is likely to appear in the future. D. It has been the focus of the news.
