As an experienced photojournalist in Nashville, Tennessee, I was hired by USA Today newspaper to photograph a spinal bifida (脊柱畸形) corrective surgical procedure. It was to be performed on a twenty-one week old fetus（胎儿）in uterus（子宫）at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier than twenty-three weeks had survived.
The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section cut was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mother’s thighs（大腿）. The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and no part of the child was to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently moving the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.
As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one’s hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor’s finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, “What happened?” “The child reached out,” I said. “Oh. They do that all the time,” she responded.
The surgical opening to the uterus was closed and the uterus was then put back into the mother and the C-section opening was closed.
It was ten days before I knew if the picture was even in focus(对焦). To ensure no digital manipulation(篡改) of images before they see them, USA Today requires that film be submitted unprocessed. When the photo editor finally phoned me he said, “It’s the most incredible picture I’ve ever seen.”
1.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. it’s a very common surgery nowadays.
B. there was little risk in the operation.
C. the writer was really a terrific photographer.
D. the baby’s little hand reacted the doctor’s finger.
2.In 1999, people believed that it was ________.
A. possible for a fetus 21 weeks born to survive
B. likely for a fetus born 21 weeks to become abnormal
C. right time for a fetus born 21 weeks to receive an operation
D. risky for a fetus 21 weeks in uterus to receive an operation
3.From the second paragraph, we can see that the surgery was ________.
A. challenging but successful
B. demanding and unsuccessful
C. simple and short
D. long-lasting and difficult
4.The underlined “It” in paragraph 3 refers to________.
A. the uterus B. the arm of the fetus
C. the picture D. the head of the fetus

How to Calm Your Teen's Nerves before an Exam
Stress is a feeling of physical, mental and emotional strain of tension which disturbs or interferes with normal physiological balance. Stress can be overwhelming(压倒一切的) for anyone, but it can be especially difficult for a teen that has not yet developed effective coping skills. A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. So, how can parents help their teen stay calm before an exam?
Recognize when your teen is under stress.
Teens can feel an immense pressure to do well on exams. For some teens, just the idea of taking the test can bring them into a panic(恐慌). 1. Emotional symptoms include: excessive(过多的) of uncontrollable drying, aggression or mood swings, and panic attacks.
What should parents do?
--Be involved
Parents need to be involved in their teen's work. What they look for is your presence--to talk, to dry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. 2.
--Help them get organized
Help your teen think about what she has to study and plan accordingly. 3.
--Give them a nutritious diet
It's important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. __4._ If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
--Show a positive attitude
5. If you panic, blame, or apply to much pressure, your teen will have an undue increase in their stress levels. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most important, reassure your teens that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.
A. Together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
B. A parent's attitude will dictate their teen's emotions.
C. Physical symptoms of stress and anxiety include: lack of sleep, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite of irregular eating.
D. Encourage your teen to relax.
E. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but don't let them focus on those fears.

Life’s coincidences (巧合) can be good or bad, but they always surprise us. I moved to Anderson in 2004 from a small town in New York. One day I stopped at a red light and was behind a car with a license plate that read “Pearl Harbor Survivor”. My father was a Pearl Harbor survivor, so I jumped out of my truck and tapped to his window. He rolled the window down and I asked if he was a Pearl Harbor survivor.
“Yes,” he said. The lights turned green so I got back in my truck, turned left and went home straight. Then, I said to myself, “Why didn’t I get his name and phone number?” I went to the local Legion Post and asked if there was a Pearl Harbor survivor here on their roster (花名册). They told me yes and his name was Bronsil Metz. I looked up his name in the phone book and gave him a call. However, I failed to reach him anyway. I then drove to his address. With no answer to the door, I left a note saying that I would like to speak with him.
The next day Metz called me back and we arranged to meet at his house. I gathered my father’s picture albums and drove to his house the next morning. My father passed away years ago, so I was filled with excitement about talking to someone with similar experiences. We two went through the albums. As I turned the pages, he started pointing out the people he knew as well as those familiar buildings. My father was a great record keeper, so after Metz named people in some pictures, I took the photos out and on the back, in my father’s handwriting, were the names, substantiating that Metz did really know the people. At that moment, I was stunned (愣住) .
1. When the author saw the “Pearl Harbor Survivor” license plate, _________.
A. he was driving on the expressway
B. he was trapped in a traffic jam
C. he was waiting for the lights to turn
D. he was looking for a new friend
2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. The Pearl Harbor survivor hurried home.
B. The author disliked talking with strangers.

D. The author regretted for not asking for the survivor’s contact information.
3. The underlined word “substantiating”inParagraph 3 probably means _________.
A. arguing B. denying
C. confirming D. doubting

A. The author met Bronsil Metz in a small town in New York.

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is likely that the two pets will get along smoothly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is surprising that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.
The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
1.The underlined word smoothly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. early B. mostly
C. quickly D. well
2.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A. They eat and sleep together.
B. They watch each other’s behaviors.
C. They learn to speak each other’s language.
D. They know something from each other’s voices.
3.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.
A. have common interests
B. have appeared to become smarter.
C. have a common body language
D. are not so smart as was expected
4.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A. We should learn to get along well with others
B.We should know more about animals.
C. We should live in peace with animals.
D. We should learn more body languages.
