If Mickey Mouse slips (滑倒)on a banana skin on TV, viewers laugh. But for ordinary people, falling is not   36 . For example, if you   37 over a stone or fall off your bike, you have to take days to get well. For   38 people, the result of a fall could be worse.
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, USA, wanted to know why some people are   39 likely to fall than others.
The researchers found that   40 means more than planting your feet on the ground and standing tall. Your brain   41 your sense of balance with information from your eyes and inner ears and the   42 from your feet and legs. If something goes wrong with any of these, you’re   43  to fall. People   44 to fall more often as they grow older because their senses are slower.
State of mind is important too. The research shows that when people know they’re walking on a slippery surface, they   45 their pace and walk with flatter feet. As a result, they fall less often.
“We actually   46 people slip and fall,” researcher Mark Redfern said. People of different ages fall on   47 in his lab. Cameras   48 their falls and a computer analyzes the information. Scientists then can   49 people who fall often how to be more watchful.
“If they get   50 to a lifelike but controlled environment, people can   51 learn to handle the   52 thing,” Redfern said.
Falls happen to everyone sometimes.   53 you see someone fall, think about why and offer a helping   54 . This person’s painful experience may   55 you from falling at the same place.

Drinking a lot of water does not do any good to the body, according to two experts in the United States. In fact, they warn, drinking too much water could be, in certain cases, harmful.
In a study, Dr Stanly Goldfarb and Dr Dan Negoianu, both of the Renal, Electrolyte and Hypertension Division at the University of Pensylvania, the United States, have denied the popular belief that drinking a lot of water clears body toxins(毒素)better, improves skin, and helps reduce weight.
Dr Goldfarb and Dr Negoianu say that they found little proof to back the public opinion that drinking 8 glasses of water every day benefits health. At the same time, they fond little proof of harm in drinking 8 glasses of water every day.
It is widely believed that in some cases-such as athletes, people who live in hot, dry environments, and those with certain medical conditions-drinking a lot of water indeed helps, but no studies have been done to prove the benefits of this practice in average, healthy people, the website medheadlines.com reports.
The study at the University of Pennsylvania also examined reports that some people experienced increased headaches when their consumption(消耗)of water was low. In one small study, which the doctors reviewed, the group drinking the most water reported fewer headaches than the control group, “but the difference in the number of headaches was o small between the two groups as to be considered unimportant.”
The researchers concluded that there is no scientific proof to support that average, healthy people need to drink at least 8 glasses of water each each day.
The website medheadines.com says that, according to an Indian doctor, drinking too much water is harmful. If water enters the body more quickly than it can be removed, problems can occur.
小题1:What’s the key message delivered in the passage?
A.Drinking too much water might bring harm.
B.Whether to drink enough water makes no difference.
C.Drinking too much water may cause headaches.
D.Average, healthy people should drink more water.
小题2:We can learn from the passage that 8 glasses of water every day_______ .
A.proves good for the bodyB.has scientific proof of harm
C.is sure to reduce headachesD.is generally considered necessary
小题3:Who may agree that drinking lots of water helps to lose weight?
A.The two experts.B.The Indian doctor.
C.The general public.D.The website.
小题4:According to the passage, we know that_______.
A.the website medheadlnes.com is developed by an Indian doctor
B.the study was carried out by two experts with an Indian doctor
C.the two experts performed the study at the University of Pennsylvania
D.drinking 8 glasses of water every day can cure certain diseases

Back in 2003 I had a pet rabbit named Alaska.Due to the rules the landlord had set,he had to be kept in the basement(地下室).One night I went downstairs to feed him.Keep in mind I’ve always thought the basement was frightening.As I was facing his cage and putting the bowl of water inside,a big shadow appeared behind me,as if a big,tall man were standing behind me.I turned around and nobody was there,but I got the distinct(清晰的)feeling that I was being watched.I basically dropped the water bowl and ran upstairs shouting for my mom.Ever since then I can’t go down there alone.
Once I was trying to get to sleep,and I slept with the lights off.All of sudden I wanted to leave the room eagerly,but I couldn’t get out of my bed,I was too scared.The feeling of someone looking closely at me was so upset,I was physically afraid to move or breathe.I opened my curtains to let the street light in,thinking the light would help me feel better to move.That did nothing.I must have sat there on my bed for about fifteen minutes before I got up.I didn’t sleep in there that night.I’ve never felt anything so upset!
Then there are all the little things,like seeing things in the comer of my eye,hearing doors open or close when I’m home alone,and the feeling of being watched.Once when my sister wasn’t home(we share a room)I heard someone breathing from her bed and heard the sheets rustle(沙沙声).Last week,I felt someone patting me in the shoulder when I was alone in my room.Sometimes I’ll be looking something and I’ll see one or more contorted(扭曲的),angry faces.
I realize that when one is looking for something to happen they can make things happen or imagine it.These are the moments in which I know nothing was imagined,so I wanted to share them and get your opinions.Thanks so much.

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street comer and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives(察觉) something different about it. 
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception(感知) is the minds’ interpretation of what the senses — in this case our eyes — tell us.
Many psychologists(心理学家)today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.
小题1:Perceiving is an action that takes place ______.
A.in our eyesB.only when we think very hard about something
C.only under the direction of a psychologistD.in every person’s mind
小题2:People perceive different things about the same scene because ______.
A.they see different thingsB.they can not agree about things

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient(耐心). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his best to help. To make a good friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
There are three steps to being friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
49  Sally wants to tell students the ways to_____.
A  find friends       B  plant trees         C  get happy          D  keep fit
50  What makes good friends? A good friend should_____.
A  be lovely and cool                         B  be kind and patient
C  have lots of money                         D  have good looks
51  According to the text, you can________your friend after a fight.
A  buy a present for                                  B  never say a word to
C  have dinner with                                   D  write a letter to
52  What is the best title of the text?
A  Teenagers and friendship.                        B  The good friends around you.

People seem to have a natural need for friends and with good reason. Friends increase your enjoyment of life and relieve feelings of loneliness. They even can help reduce stress and improve your health. Having good friends is especially helpful when you are going through any kind of hard time such as when you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, or depression.
When you are with good friends you feel good about yourself, and you are glad to be with them. A friend is someone who —
