8.The ninth week of SEAL(Sea,Air,Land) training is referred to as Hell Week.It is six days of no sleep,physical and mental suffering and one special day at the Mud Flats (泥沼)where you will sink into the mud.
It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that we came down to the mud flats and spend the next 15 hours keeping alive in the freezing-cold mud,the cold wind and the strong pressure from the instructors to give up.
As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening,my training class,having broken some of the rules,was ordered into the mud.We sank into the mud until only our heads could be seen.The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would give up---just five men and we could get out of the cold.
Looking around the mud flat,it was clear that some of us were about to give up.It was still over eight hours till the sun came up---eight more hours of coldness.Our cries were so loud that it was hard to hear anything.And then,one voice began to fly through the night---one voice raised in song.
The song sounded terrible,but it was sung with great power.One voice became two,and two became three,and before long everyone in the class was singing.
We knew that if one man could rise above the suffering then others could as well.The instructors warned us of more time in the mud if we kept up the singing---but the singing went on and on.And somehow,the mud seemed a little warmer,the wind a little weaker and the morning not so far away.
If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world,it is the power of hope.The power can change the world by giving people hope.
So,if you want to change the world,start singing when you're up to your neck in mud.

B.He was physically and mentally crazy.
C.He went through some hard tests.
D.He sank into the mud for the week.
52.Why did the class have the experience at the Mud Flat?A
A.Because it was one of the training courses.
B.Because the weather was terribly bad.
C.Because the instructors were strict with them.
D.Because they wanted to break the rules.

5.As part of an effort to improve treatments for life-threatening illnesses,a team of scientists have created rabbits that glow in the dark.
Their efforts have produced two rabbits out of a litter of eight that went from being a normal,soft white to glowing green in the dark.The rabbits were born at the University of Istanbul as part of the collaboration between scientists from universities in Turkey and Hawaii.
The rabbits glow to show that a genetic operation technique can work efficiently,though the specific color is more cosmetic than scientific."The green is not important at all-it's just a marker to show the experiment can be done successfully,"said University of Hawaii associate professor,Stefan Moisyadi.
To produce the glowing effect,researchers injected jellyfish(水母)DNA into a mother rabbit's embryos.Then those embryos were inserted back into the mother.Similar experiments have resulted in glowing cockroaches(蟑螂)and cats.
Eventually,the researchers hope the technique can lead to new ways to produce medicines,Moisyadi said.
"The final goal is to develop animals that are able to produce beneficial molecules(分子)in their milk that can be cheaply extracted(提取),especially in countries that cannot afford big factories that make drugs,which  usually cost US $1 bn to build.Then they will be able to produce their own protein-based medication in animals,"Moisyadi said.
The rabbits are expected to have the same life span as their non-glowing counterparts,but Moisyadi said he understands people can object to this kind of experimentation involving live animals.
"To the people against,I say:think about,what are the benefits and what are the injuries?"Moisyadi said."And if the benefits outweigh the injuries,let's go with the benefits."
Moisyadi,a native of Turkey who is now with the University of Hawaii,started developing the project in 2006,and researchers are now waiting to see if pregnant sheep produce similar results.
31.What do we know about the glowing rabbits?D
A.They live shorter lives than ordinary rabbits.
B.Their fur became green after the experiment.
C.They were chosen from a special species of rabbits.
D.The color that they glow isn't of interest to scientist.
32.Why did scientists conduct the experiment to create glowing rabbits?C
A.To research  animal genes.
B.To improve animal species.
C.To produce cheap,beneficial medicine.
D.To improve animal's ability to resist disease.
33.Which animal wasn't used as the test subject?C
A.The cat.B.The jellyfish.C.The sheep.D.The cockroach.
34.Which of the following is TRUE,according to the passage?C
A.The project is supported by people.
B.The success rate in creating the rabbits is 20%.
C.The project has been conducted for more than nine years.
D.The project is mainly conducted by Turkish scientists.
35.What is Moisyadi's attitude towards such experimentation?B
A.Doubtful.B.Supportive.C.Disapproving.D.Indifferent.

Falling
You're falling,falling,falling…and then you wake up.Thi s dream is said to mean you are afraid of something or worried about something.There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it.Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something.Maybe you're not doing well in school or work.

Trying to run,but going nowhere
