    　　Rockets(火箭)can fly far out into space．Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon in the USA and Russia．Several rockets without men inside them have been sent to other worlds much farther away．On Nov．7, 2007, China’s first lunar probe, Chang’e I, successfully has completed its 1,580,000 km flying journey to the moon．

    　　I am sure that you are asking ‘How does a rocket fly?’ If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up, until it is quite big．Do not tie up the neck of the balloon, let it go．The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly．The air inside the balloon tries to get out．It rushes out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air．

    　　This is how a rocket works．Of course, the rocket is made of metal．The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong．There is gas inside the rocket, which is made very hot．When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air．The jet velocity(喷射速度)is always faster than the flying speed．

    　　We’re sure that one day rockets with man may be able to go anywhere in space．

    　　Not all memories are sweet．Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences．Wars and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional(精神上的)scars．Often they appear again in dreams．

    　　Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories．The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience．They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去)the effect of sad memories．

    　　In November, some scientists tested a drug(药)on people in the US and France．The drug stops the body producing chemicals(化学品)that fix memories in the brain．So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased．

    　　The research has caused plenty of argument．Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it．

    　　Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war．They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories．

    　　“Some memories can destroy people’s lives．They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a dream．They usually come with very sad emotions．” said Roger Pitman, a scientist of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School．“This could relieve(减轻)a lot of that suffering．”

    　　But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity(特质)．They also help us all get away from the mistakes of the past．

    　　“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are．I’m not sure we want to erase those memories,” said Rebecca Dresser．

    (1)

    The passage is mainly about _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    a new medical invention

    B．

    a new research on memories

    C．

    a way of erasing sad memories

    D．

    an argument about the research on the pill

    (2)

    The drug tested on people can _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    cause the brain to fix memories

    B．

    stop people remembering their experiences

    C．

    prevent body producing certain chemicals

    D．

    erase the emotional effects of memories

    (3)

    The word “scars” in Paragraph One is close in meaning to _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    good stories

    B．

    sad feelings

    C．

    experiences

    D．

    memories

    (4)

    We can infer(推断)from the passage that _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    people doubt the effects of the pills

    B．

    the pill will stop people’s bad experiences

    C．

    taking the pill will do harm to people’s health

    D．

    the pill has probably been produced in America

    (5)

    Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?

    [　　]

    A．

    Some memories can destroy people’s lives．

    B．

    People want to get away from bad memories．

    C．

    Experiencing bad events makes us different from others．

    D．

    The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories．
