A study found that young people have a stronger and more unpleasant scent (气味) than the elderly，while elderly people’s smell was the most distinctive，less intense and unpleasant. Researchers said the change in our smell is driven by the chemicals we release through our glands (腺) and the bacteria on our skin.
To test whether or not it really exists，scientists collected a series of samples from three groups of 12 to 16 donors，aged 20 to 30，45 to 55 and 75 to 95.Volunteers wore special T－shirts fitted with underarm pads (护垫) as they slept for five nights，after which the pads were cut up and put in glass jars. A separate group of 41 people aged 20 to 30 was then asked to smell two jars at a time and asked which group of the donors was older，as well as rating how strong and unpleasant each smell was.
When asked to specify whether a particular sample was from a young，middle aged or old person，they were much more successful at identifying older people. Despite being the most distinctive，the older people’s smell was also rated as being obviously less intense and less unpleasant than those from the other groups.
Researchers said their findings appeared to contradict people's negative ideas about the old person’s smell but admitted other factors，like smelly breath or skin，could be to blame for its bad reputation.
“Similar to other animals，humans can give off body scents that allow us to identify biological age，avoid sick individuals and pick a suitable partner. Elderly people have a distinctive scent that younger people consider to be not very unpleasant. This was surprising given the popular conception of old age scent as smelly. However，it's possible that other sources of body scents，such as skin or breath，may have different qualities,” said Dr Johan Lundstrom，who led the study.
1.What do we know from the study?
A．People of different ages give off different scents.
B．People's scent can only be changed by the bacteria on their skin.
C．People show great interest in old people's scent.
D．People's scent can help distinguish a man and a woman.
2.Which of the following ages of people have the chance to participate in the study?
A．16 B． 77 C．74 D．56
3.According to the passage, people usually think that________．
A．old people's scent is simply from their breath
B．old people have a bad reputation mainly for their skin
C．old people's scent is terrible and unpleasant
D．old people give off a more pleasant scent
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To tell old people how to remove their terrible scent.
B．To prove that people often hold wrong ideas.
C．To show how researchers carried out their study about the scent.
D．To report the findings of a study about people's scent.

For anyone still doubting the belief that our emotions influence our physical health, a new study from New Zealand should be able to settle the matter. It reports that the physical wounds of healthy seniors healed more quickly if they wrote about their most upsetting experiences.
This confirms the results of a 2010 study, and extends those findings to cover older adults—a group that is likely to suffer wounds (as from surgery), and one with less access to other ways of lowering tension (such as exercise).
Reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, a research team led by the University of Auckland’s Elizabeth Broadbent made a study featuring 50 healthy adults ranging in age from 64 to 97. They were asked to write for 20 minutes per day for three consecutive(连续的) days.
Half were asked to write about the most upsetting experience in their life, describing their deepest thoughts, feelings, and emotions about the events, ideally not previously shared with others. The others were asked to write about their daily activities without mentioning emotions, opinions or beliefs.
Two weeks after the third day of writing, all participants received a standard 4mm skin biopsy(皮下活体组织检查) on their inner arm. The very tiny wounds caused by the biopsy were photographed regularly over the following days to determine the rate at which they healed.
On the 11th day after the biopsy, the wounds completely healed on 76.2 percent of those who had done the expressive writing. That was true of only 42.1 percent of those who had written about everyday activities.
“The biological and psychological mechanisms(机体) behind this effect remain unclear,” the researchers wrote, noting that those who had done the expressive writing did not report lower stress levels or fewer depressive symptoms than the others in the control group. Even if they weren’t consciously aware of feeling more relaxed or positive, the expressive writing appeared to have caused some sort of bodily reaction—probably involving their immune systems—that hastened their recovery.
1.What was the difference between the two groups of participants in the study?
A. What they wrote.
B. Where they wrote.
C. When they wrote.
D. How often they wrote.
2.According to the text, the experiment lasted .
A. about three days B. about a month
C. about two weeks D. about ten days
3.The underlined word “hastened” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. speeded B. showed C. limited D. ruined
4. What would be the best title of the text?
A. Sharing with others can reduce stress.
B. Skin biopsies are likely to cause wounds.
C. Expressive writing heals physical wounds.
D. Upsetting experiences influence our emotions.

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption（摄入） of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels(标签).
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without knowing that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance（抵制and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we know the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.
1.From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.
A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential
B. people are tired of diet products
C. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
D. diet products are misleading people
2.One psychological effect of diet products is that people are likely to _____.
A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
B. pay attention to their own eating habits
C. watch their weight rather than their diet
D. try out all kinds of diet foods
3.The purpose of writing this passage is _________.
A. to warn people of the side effect of diet products
B. to tell people how to lose weight
C. to advise people to eat diet products
D. to introduce some diet products
4.Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Here is some information from a tourist guide to Patapsco Valley state Park Maryland, USA.
Wildlife and Nature Appreciation
While visiting Patapsco Valley State Park, you will see a variety of natural habitats. Throughout spring and fall, dogwoods, maples, redbuds, and many varieties of wildflowers color the forest. This park is also home to many small mammals and birds. If you pause during your journey through the forest, you are likely to see rabbits, grey squirrels, and red foxes. Along the banks of the river, birdwatchers will spot Canada geese and wood ducks all year round
Fishing
The Patapsco River meanders through the park and is a popular attraction for anglers (钓鱼者). The Department of Natural Resources' Fisheries Service assigns the river as a put-and-take fishery(渔场) with adult rainbow and brown trout in spring and fall. Anglers also enjoy catching naturally reproducing smallmouth and largemouth bass, bluegill, redbreast sunfish and yellow perch.
Fishing opportunities have been specially set aside at Lost Lake for youth under 16 and seniors 62 years of age and older. This area is also designed for anglers with disabilities.
Trails
Adventure seekers will enjoy hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding on the park's popular trail system. More than 17 miles of challenging and rough single track trails follow the ridges, steep hillsides and stream valleys in the park. These trails are also excellent gateways for wildlife viewing, birdwatching and general nature appreciation. Please respect the rights of nearby private property owners by using only blazed (有路标的) trails. Remember that the park is a natural area with certain dangers, such as poison ivy, slippery trail surfaces, insects, etc. You are responsible for having the necessary skills, knowledge and equipment for a safe visit.
Discover History along the Trail
Enter another time as you explore Patapsco’s trails. Layer upon layer of history tells the story of man’s interaction with nature. Native American hunted, gathered and fished here for centuries. In the 1700s, the valley became one of the earliest sites for America’s Industrial Revolution. Early settlers cut down trees for charcoal used to fire iron furnaces(熔炉). The river’s current was dammed and channeled to power iron, paper, grain and textile mills (纺织厂). Towns and tobacco farms were established throughout the valley.

Facebook managed to put its vast treasure trove(宝藏) of user data to good use before Friday’s tragic terror attacks in Paris. The social network customized its safety check feature let users know whether their friends and loved ones in Paris are safe.
Users in the area are being alerted(通知) by Facebook’s mobile apps, asked them whether they are safe, and offering to check on any of their friends. The app has also been sending out alerts to anyone who has friends in Paris, and Facebook’s website lets anyone check on the status and whereabouts(去向) of their friends as well as.
Most people have seen Facebook’s safety check for the first time today, and the company actually lanched it in respond to the Nepal earthquake earlier this year. At the time, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote: “When disasters happen, people need to know their loved ones are safe. It’s moments like this when being able to connect really matters.”
Facebook wasn’t the only tech company to direct reach out to its users in Paris after the terror attacks. AirBnB（空中食宿） sent its customers in Paris a email advising them staying in place and follow the directions from local authorities, and Uber（优步） used its app to advise users “not to move if absolutely necessary.”
