    　　Everyone has got two personalities－the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．

    　　If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings．You're quite shy and you aren't very confident．

    　　If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的)person．You worry a lot and you're always easily upset．You're very stubborn(顽固的), but you aren't very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time．

    　　If you sleep curled up(卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive．You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt．

    　　If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality．You know your strengths and weaknesses．You're usually careful．You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people．

    阅渎理解

    　　How should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation(通货膨胀)？Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate．Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market．Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past．Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques．

    　　I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life．"The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound．It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands．Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control．This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves．"

    　　Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time．Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts．They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time．So it seems that the first clocks were human beings．

    　　However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time．They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun．They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks．Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past．

    　　Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home．After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?

    (1)

    阅渎理解

    　　Malaria, the world's most widespread parasitic(寄生虫引起的)disease, kills as many as three million people every year－almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African．In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't(or can't)seek care．It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works．In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long．

    　　Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches．As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body．Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect(感染)．They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain．If it doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years．The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite．Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth－and one of the most successful．Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control．Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations．Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming．

    　　For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make．Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it．Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive．If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next．

    (1)

    According to paragraph 1, many people don't seek care because___．

    [　　]

    A．

    they are too poor

    B．

    it is unusual to seek care

    C．

    they can remain unaffected for long

    [　　]

    A．

    have to kill female mosquitoes

    B．

    have ability to defend parasites

    C．

    have their red blood cells infected

    D．

    have sudden fever, followed by chills

    (3)

    Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?

    [　　]

    A．

    Its resistance to global warming．

    B．

    Its ability to pass on the virus frequently．

    C．

    Its outbreaks in cities with large populations．

    D．

    Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs．

    (4)

    A．

    no drugs have been found to treat the disease

    　　A small dog should be belly-up after eating a handful M＆M’s, at least according to conventional wisdom．But watching“Moose”, a friend’s five-pound Chihuahua, race around a living room after his sweet snack makes one wonder: Is chocolate truly poisonous to dogs?

    　　Dogs and humans have similar tastes．But unlike humans, our companions experience dangerous effects from eating chocolate－it can poison them and in some cases is fatal．Chocolate’s danger to dogs depends on its quality．

    　　Chocolate is processed from the bitter seeds of the cocoa tree, which contain a family of compounds known as methylxanthines(一种衍生物)．This class of substances includes caffeine and the related chemical theobromine(可可碱)．Chocolate contains a significant amount of theobromine and smaller amounts of caffeine．These chemicals can cause a dog’s heart to race up to twice its normal rate, and some dogs may run around as if“they drank a gallon of espresso,”according to Hackett．

    　　Dogs are capable of handling some chocolate, but it depends on the animal’s weight and the type of chocolate it eats．Unsweetened baking chocolate contains more than six times as much theobromine as milk chocolate, although amounts vary between cocoa beans as well as different brands of chocolate．Less than four ounces of milk chocolate is potentially fatal for Moose and other small dogs．

    　　Around every confection-centered holiday－Valentine’s Day, Easter and Christmas－at least three or four dogs are hospitalized overnight in the animal medical center at Colorado State．But in 16 years, Hackett has seen just one dog die from chocolate poisoning, and he suspects it may have had an underlying disease that made it more exposed to chocolate’s heart –racing effect．

    (1)

    The underlined expression“belly-up”probably means ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    dead

    B．

    poisonous

    C．

    running around

    D．

    having a headache

    (2)

    All of the following are true EXCEPT ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    chocolate’s danger to dogs depends on its quantity and quality

    B．

    people buy lots of chocolate around Valentine’s Day

    C．

    an ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate is safe for Moose

    D．

    there must be some theobromine or caffeine in espresso

    (3)

    What can we learn about Hackett?

    [　　]

    A．

    He is an animal doctor．

    B．

    He is a pet shop owner．

    C．

    He is the owner of Moose

    D．

    He is a doctor in a small hospital．

    (4)

    It can be inferred from the passage that Hackett believes that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    chocolate is truly deadly to dogs

    B．

    it’s OK to give chocolate to a big dog

    C．

    pets are usually ignored around confection-centered holidays

    D．

    a healthy dog probably could survive a chocolate poisoning

    (5)

    The passage is mainly about ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the poisoning of Moose

    B．

    the compounds of different chocolates

    C．

    a handful M＆M’s chocolate is poisonous

    D．

    the relation between methylxanthines and chocolate poisoning
