Think about the last time you felt afraid. Was it a fear of height? Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear you’d get into trouble at the office? In any case, you know what it feels like to feel fear.
But one woman doesn’t The woman, code-named “UM”, gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers. The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid.
UM can’t tell you what fear is because she’s never experienced it. “I wonder what it’s like to actually be afraid of something,” she said. The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease, which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice,small bumps around the eyes, and calcium deposits(钙沉积的)in the brain.
In the case of UM,the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear. In the interview, UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint, “I was walking to the store,and I saw a man on a park bench.He said. “Come here,please,” so I went over to him. He grabbed me by the shirt,put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me. I told him, “Go ahead and cut me,” I wasn’t afraid at all. And for some reason,he let me go.”
Doctors who have been studying UM’s condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her. They finally figured something out—increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels.Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals. Increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright.
1.The text starts by_______.
A. challenging the reader
B. solving daily problems
C. listing situations
D. giving explanations
2.Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name?
A. To tell her case from other patients
B. To respect her privacy
C. To meet the researchers’ demands
D. To ensure her safety
3.From UM’s case,we can know that Urbach-Wieth disease may________.
A. stop the brain from functioning normally
B. lead to a decrease in calcium deposits
C. stop the brain from responding quickly
D. lead to an increase in carbon dioxide
4.What will probably happen to UM from the last paragraph?

It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device,and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools.But think about it for a moment.On the Internet,a big online company can be run by two guys out of their garage.So it is only reasonable that people shopping on the Net would be a little leery of the security levels.
Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虚拟) shopping off the ground,and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.
Credit card companies,too,quickly saw the potential for Internet shopping,and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people.If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases,many credit card companies will happily refund(返还) your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you.Now that’s buying power!
There are other bonuses for online shoppers,of course.No line-ups,for one.No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.
When shopping online,consumers can sit down,have a coffee,and wear their slippers,not have to worry about their hair or parking and just click through sale after sale.Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier.And thanks to courier companies(速递公司)getting in on the act,you never need wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.
No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.

At first sight the planet Mars(火星)does not appear very welcoming to any kind of life. It has very little oxygen and water, the temperature at night is below 50 degrees and winds of 100 miles (161 kilometers)per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it at some time in the past, and it is believed that there would be enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melted. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think there may have been some form of life a long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes(火山); 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 fit to live on. It is judged 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 a special closed environment. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on Mars and the problems connected with living there.
1.According to the passage, the planet Mars has no __________on it.
A.animals B.mountains
C.dust D.winds
2.What is the topic of Paragraph 2?
A.Certain gases should be used to warm Mars.
B.Plants should be grown to make Mars fit to live on.
C.Mars could support life with right conditions in the future.
D.People could live on Mars in a special closed environment.
3.The most suitable title for the passage is __________.
A.No Life on Mars
B.A Study of Mars
C.The Future conditions on Mars
D.The Possibility of Life on Mars
