    9．At the beginning of my 8：00 a．m．class one Monday at UNLV（拉斯维加斯内华达大学），I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been．One young man said that his weekend had not been very good．The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful．
    His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before："Every morning when you get up，you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day，"I said to the young man．"I choose to be cheerful．"
    "Let me give you an example，"I continued．"In addition to teaching here at UNLV，I also teach out at the community college in Henderson，about seventeen miles down the freeway from where I live．One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson．I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive．But just then my car died．I tried to start it again，but the engine wouldn't turn over．So I put my flashers on，took my books，and marched down the road to the college．"
    "As soon as I got there，I called AAA（美国汽车协会） and asked them to send a tow truck （拖车）．The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what had happened．'This is my lucky day'，I replied，smiling．"
    "Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day？"She was puzzled，"What do you mean？"
    "I live seventeen miles from here"．I replied．"My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway．It didn't．Instead，it broke down in the perfect place：off the freeway，within walking distance of here．I'm still able to teach my class，and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class．If my car was meant to break down today，it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion．"
    51．According to the passage，if one wants to be cheerful，he shouldD．
    A．have a good time every day         
    B．be interested in his job．
    C．earn a lot of money by working hard

    A．roll back                       
    B．start to work

    17．Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens researches into the history of humans in Britain，a group of leading archaeologists （考古学家） says．In a letter addressed to the justice secretary，Ken Clarke，40 archaeologists write of their"deep and widespread concern"about the issue．It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years，regardless of their age．The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance．
    "Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied，whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension，is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice，"they write．
        The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites，including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3，000 BC．Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time，but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground．
        The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk，where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950，000 years ago．If human remains were found at Happisburgh，they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was．Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed．
        Before 2008，guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest，while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains．The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary，but has so far failed to revise it．
        Mike Parker Pearson，an archaeologist at Sheffield University，said，"Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem，but we feel that we cannot wait any longer．"
        The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied，or on what records should be kept．
     
    24．According to the passage，scientists are unhappy with the law mainly becauseB．
    A．it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
    B．it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
    C．it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
    D．it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains
    25．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？C
    A．Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time．
    B．Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh．
    C．Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time．
    D．Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed．
    26．What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains？D
    A．The Ministry of Justice did not intend to protect human remains．
    B．The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857．
    C．The law on human remains hasn't changed in recent decades．
    D．The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law．
    27．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？D
    A．New discoveries should be reburied，the government demands．
    B．Research time should be extended，scientists require．
    C．Law on human remains needs thorough discussion，authorities say．
    D．Law could bury ancient secrets for ever，archaeologists warn．

    1．Tropical fish hobbyists will tell you their tanks are a source of relaxation，but recent research suggests the fish might disagree．
    Many American households contain a fish tank，whose average size is less than 10gallons．Yet a study comparing the behavior of common freshwater fish found that those kept in such small tanks were more aggressive than those in larger ones and were more likely to fight．
    "If people kept dogs in these conditions，they'd be put in prison，"said the author，Ronald Oldfield．"In larger tanks，the fish were not in continuous eyesight of each other．They were swimming around，checking everything out rather than beating each other，"he added．"It's something we should think about．"
    The study consisted of two experiments．In one，Dr．Oldfield tested the effects of overcrowding by keeping tank size constant（不变）while increasing the number of fish．In the other，he tested environment by placing three fish in tanks of different sizes．He then recorded their behavior at least two hours after feeding，to eliminate （排除） competitive behaviors related to food．While aggression seemed to remain constant regardless of the number of fish in a tank，it dropped off considerably once the fish were placed in a l00-gallon tank with several plants and rocks to form shelters．
    The findings confirmed what he found when observing Midas in the wild．"If you go out and observe these fish swimming in a river，"he said，"they're not aggressive at all，really．"This conclusion is not news to Justin Muir，the owner of a fish tank business．"More volume of water is always better．It keeps the fish healthier，and the tank is more stable．"

    41．We can conclude from the study thatC．
    A．The fish in small rivers are more likely to fight than those in larger ones．
    B．If you keep fish in tanks of less than 10 gallons，you'll be put into prison．
    C．People haven't paid enough attention to the feeling of fish in smaller tanks．
    D．The fish in the wild are more likely to fight than those kept in tanks．
    42．The underline word"aggressive"probably meansB．
    A．polite         
    B．violent          
    C．enthusiastic          
    D．frightened
    43．How was the first experiment performed？A
    A．By putting more and more fish in the same tank．
    B．By putting fish in tanks of different sizes．
    C．By putting some food to test the behavior of fish．
    D．By putting fish in a tank with plants and rocks．
    44．The two experiments prove thatD．
    A．food competition results in the aggressive behavior of fish
    B．fish become more aggressive as more fish are put into a tank
    C．crowding is the main cause of the aggressive behavior of fish
    D．fish become less aggressive when placed in a 100-gallon tank
    45．The best title for this passage might beB．
    A．Animals'Right to Live at Ease
    B．Picture of Relaxation Only if You're Not Inside
    C．How to Keep Tropical Fish as Pets
    D．How to Deal with Fish's Aggressive Behavior．
