  The country of Chile is struggling to recover from one of the most powerful earthquakes in history.The quake struck the South American nation early Saturday morning.It registered 8.8 on the Richter scale.Ex-perts say the earthquake in Chile is among the five most powerful earthquakes ever recorded.

  The epicenter of the earthquake is about 70 miles north of the city of Concepci6n.The area has been rocked by dozens of aftershocks since the big quake hit on Saturday morning.

  On Sunday, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet updated reports on the toll the earthquake has taken.“It’s an enormous catastrophe,” she said.Countless buildings and roadways have been destroyed or badly damaged.Rescuers continued to work around the clock to find survivors who may be trapped under the rub-ble of fallen buildings.Government officials estimate more than 2 million people have lost their homes.

  Bachelet assured people that food and medical aid were on the way.Ten thousand members of the Chil-ean military have been dispatched to help in the relief and recovery efforts.Many of the country’s major gro-cery stores have started giving away basic food and supplies to people in the affected areas.Secretary-Gener-al of the United Nations spoke to President Bachelet by telephone.He assured her that the United Nations“stands ready to assist the Chilean government’s rescue and recovery efforts ”.

  The earthquake in Chile comes less than two months after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that Haiti suf-fered in January.Although the earthquake in Chile was more powerful than the one in Haiti,the damage is unlikely to be as severe.Earthquakes are more common in Chile,and many buildings and homes there are constructed to withstand tremors better.Also,the area of Chile most affected by this earthquake is not asheavily populated as Port-au-Prince, where the epicenter of the Haitian quake was located.Furthermore, Chile is one of South America’s richest, best-organized countries.Its government has more supplies and people available to effectively respond to national emergencies.

  The energy released by the quake caused shock waves to roll across the Pacific Ocean in the form of tsu-namis(海啸)that have the potential to do great damage to coastal areas.Some of these waves struck the Chilean coast,causing major damage to seaside towns.Coastal communities in Russia,Japan,and the Unit-ed States were concerned,too,but there were no reports of severe damage from the waves that eventually reached the countries’shores.

  I teach biology at UNLV three times per week.Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my   1   how their weekend had been.One young man said that his weekend had not been so   2  .He had his wisdom teeth removed.Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so   3

Half of all bosses say a lack of sleep makes them irritable (易怒的) and prone to(有……倾向的) shout at their staff, a study said.

One in five managers also said being kept awake at night meant they were more likely to make mistakes, the Mori poll of 1,006 people revealed(显示).

Some 48% of people aged 35 to 44 said they did not get enough sleep compared to a national average 39%.

Among that age group, people with young children and managerial (管理的) jobs were most likely to suffer. 

The report, commissioned (委托) by the think tank De??mos and Ikea, said the issue of sleep had been forgotten in the work / life balance debate.

Report author Charles Leadbeater said, "On any working day, a quarter of all managers in Britain are likely to be in a bad mood because they have not slept well. "

"These sleep-deprived and shouty managers with a tend??ency to make mistakes are responsible for millions of British workers. It’s hardly a recipe for good management. "

And Mr. Leadbeater called on the government and em??ployers to take action.

A small loss of sleep is likely to have a big impact on people who lead stressful lives.

"Stressed out parents are already not sleeping enough. They are the people most likely to have their sleep disrupted and they are least able to recover."  

Apart from children keeping their parents awake, worrying about work is the biggest cause of wakefulness at night among managers.

Women are five times more likely than men to lose sleep because their partners snore (打呼噜).

The report predicted that there was likely to be a growing market of sleep-deprived people, with an increase in "public napping".

Opportunities to take a nap at work are also likely to in??crease, and the report recommended that employers take their responsibility for ensuring employees were well slept more se??riously.

Peter Jelkeby, marketing manager at Ikea, said the re??search confirmed suspicions Britons were not getting enough sleep.  

And he added: "This is having a detrimental effect on our society as a whole. "

9. Which of following is true according to the text?

A. Half of the people say a lack of sleep makes them irrita??ble.

B. 20% managers said being kept awake at night meant they were more likely to make mistakes.

C. Some 48% of people said they did not get enough sleep.

D. People with young children and managerial jobs were most likely to suffer.

10. What does the underlined word "detrimental" mean?

A 良好的.          B.有害的           C.片面的     D.致命的

11. Who that suffered sleep disrupted are least able to recover?

A. The bosses.                 B. Managers.

C. People aged 35 to 44.               D. Stressed out parents.

12. Apart from children keeping: their parents awake, ________is the biggest cause of wakefulness at night among managers.

A. worrying about work            B. their partners’ snoring

C. the relationship                        D. working conditions

阅读以下1-5段材料,然后从A-f中选出各段的主题。有一项为多余选项。
A. A good teacher acts in class
B. Acting: repetition of fixed words and movements
C. Teaching: a student-centered creative process
D. Similarities between teaching and acting
E. ( = AB) Differences between teaching and acting
F. ( = AC) A good teacher, not necessarily a good actor

       1   To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the
attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice
which is fully under your control; and you must be a- ble to act what you are teaching, In order to make
its meaning clear.
         2   Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class: he stands
the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, his hands and fingers to help him in his
explanations, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and
the musical note if his voice always changing according to what he is talking a- bout. 
       3   The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he will indeed
be able to act well in the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the
actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words
each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually
fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on
the stage. 
        4     A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they
ask questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say so, the teacher therefore
has to suit his act to the needs of his audience. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he
goes along. 
       5    As a good teacher presently, you must take your au- dience as your friends, take care of them, help
them and give them enough freedom and space. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class
 but were unable to take part in a stage play be- cause their brains wouldn't keep discipline: they could not
keep strictly to what another had written.

Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online ,make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation(感觉)of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.

Psychologists have known that one person's perception(感知)of another's “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either "warm" or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold,,person may be more capa­ble. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies7 conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958,showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow} s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.

Feelings of ‘‘warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Al­though no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm”or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judg­ment in dozens of countries.

To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study^ s hypotheses (假设),handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink,to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Per­son A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.

‘‘We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.

63.  According to Paragraph 1,a person’s emotion may be affected by _____

A. the visitors to his office                               B. the psychology lessons he has

 C. his physical feeling of coldness                    D. the things he has bought online

64.  The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that _____.

A. adults should develop social skills 、B, babies need warm physical contact

C. caregivers should be healthy adults               D. monkeys have social relationships

65. In Barghs experiment, the students were asked to _____.

A evaluate someone’s personality                       B. write down their hypotheses

C.  fill out a personal information form               D. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively

66. We can infer from the passage that _____.

A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences

B.   feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide ,

C physical temperature affects how we see others

D. capable persons are often cold to others
