    We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different times of day. This is so    1   that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one    2   understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process is not as    3   as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant    4  . We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they    5   do. As a matter of fact, they    6   to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious(神秘的) way of knowing the    7  . Their sense of time does not    8   information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.
    This    9   may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also    10  , including man, have this “inner clock” which    11   the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious    12  . Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.
    In the past, this did not really    13   because people lived in natural condition. In the    14   world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very   15 , then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.

    Facebook is now used by 30 million people in the UK, about half the population.                                   
    Joanna Shields, vice president of Facebook Europe, made the announcement this morning at a media conference in London.                                    
    She said: "We can announce today that we have reached 30 million in the UK, which we are really excited about."                                
    Globally, Facebook has more than 500 million registered users, a milestone it hit last summer. Last July, it also revealed that it had 26 million registered UK users. In the last eight months, it has attracted four million extra UK users, bringing the UK total to 30 million, while in January 2009, Facebook had only 150 million registered users.                                        
    Last year, Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder, said it was "almost a guarantee" that the site would hit one billion users. He explained: "If we succeed in innovating, there is a good chance of bringing this to a billion people...it will be interesting to see how it comes true."                  
    One third of women aged 18 to 34 check Facebook when they first wake up, before even going to the toilet, according to research. Twenty-one per cent of women aged between 18 to 34 check Facebook in the middle of the night, while 42 per cent of the same group think it is fine to post drunken photos of themselves onto the social network, a study by Oxygen Media found.    
    Shields was speaking this morning at the Financial Times Digital Media and Broadcasting Conference about the power Facebook's referrals can bring to media sites, such as newspapers and TV services.  
    She explained that the average Facebook user has 130 friends who they share links to media sites with on a regular basis. "Media companies which take advantage of that are really seeing the benefits", Shields said.            
    Shields refused to say whether Facebook would develop its own mobile phone operating system and also said it was "silly" that Google had recently disabled the feature (特点) which allowed Google users to sync their contacts with Facebook friends.

    Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids now，one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it，say some scientists.
    Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星)that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us. But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.
    Buy $ 50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one，the scientists say，we'll have a way to change its course.
    Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn't be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall，it would be the end of the world. “If we don't take care of these big asteroids，they'll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It's that simple.”
    The cure，though，might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them，” said a New York Times article.
    小题1:What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?
    A．They are heavenly bodies different in composition.
    B．They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
    C．There are more asteroids than meteoroids.
    D．Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.
    小题2: What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?
    A．It is very unlikely but the danger exists.
    B．Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.
    C．Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.
    D．It's still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.
    小题3: What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids?
    A．It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.
    B．It may create more problems than it might solve.
    C．It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.
    D．Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.
    小题4:We can conclude from the passage that ________ .
    A．while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world
    B．asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future
    C．the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime
    D．workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.
    小题5:Which of the following best describes the author's tone in this passage?
    A．Optimistic.B．Critical.C．Objective.D．Subjective.

    At night, bats fly through the air, catching hundreds of insects and other small animals. But during the day, they hardly move at all. Instead, bats pass the time hanging upside down from a secret spot.
    There are a couple of reasons why bats rest this way. First of all, it puts them in a position for takeoff. Unlike birds, bats can’t fly into the air from the ground. Their wings don’t produce enough lift to take off from a dead stop, and their hind legs are so small and underdeveloped that they can’t run to build up the necessary takeoff speed. Instead, they use their front claws to climb to a high spot, and then fall into flight.
    During the hours when most enemies are active, bats gather where few animals would think to look and most can’t reach. This allows them to disappear from the world until night comes again. There’s also little competition for these resting spots, as other flying animals don’t have the ability to hang upside down.
    Bats have a unique physiological adaptation that lets them hang around this way without using any energy. For you to hold your fist around an object tight, you contract（紧缩）several muscles in your arm, which are connected to your fingers by tendons（腱）；as one muscle contracts, it pulls a tendon, which pulls one of your fingers closed. A bat’s talons（爪）close in the same way, except that their tendons are connected only to the upper body, not to a muscle. To hang upside down, a bat pulls its claws open with other muscles. To get the talons to take hold of the surface, the bat simply lets its body relax. The weight of the upper body pulls down on the tendons connected to the talons, causing them to hold tight. Therefore, the bat doesn’t have to do anything to hang upside down.
    小题1:Bats hang upside down because________．
    A．they haven’t developed a pair of strong clawsB．they can’t start to fly from the ground directly
    C．they have no hind legs to support their bodyD．they can’t find quiet places to stay during the day
    小题2:The third paragraph tells us that bats’ hanging upside down_______.
    A．is to save their energy for night movementB．is a way to fight against flying animals
    C．is a great way to hide from dangerD．is a skill to compete for the flying places
    小题3:Why can bats hang upside down easily?
    A．Because their upper body is light.
    B．Because they have strong muscles.
    C．Because their talons are linked to muscles tightly.
    D．Because their tendons are linked to their upper body.
    小题4: What is the passage mainly about?
    A．The living habits of bats.B．How and why bats hang upside down.
    C．The importance of bats’ hanging upside down.D．How bats use their energy at night.

    To learn an instrument such as the violin or accordion（手风琴）takes years. The job opportunities for musicians are scarce and competition is fierce. Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good cash to get their children the best music teaching they can afford?
    The secret lies in the influence of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person’s IQ over time. Different instruments and different trypes of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string family coming out on top, potentially increasing you IQ by up to 12 points!
    When is a good time to start learning music? Experts have found that even the fetus（胎儿）can benefit from listening to classical music. Surround yourself and your family with good music from the first. The Suzuki Piano Method teaches children from the age of 3 years piano, with two lessons per week. From preschool, children can learn to read music and play from sheet music. Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional（成比例的）to the amount of practicing.
    Is there such a thing as an unmusical child? Shinichi Suzuki proposes that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be “unmusical”. Of course there are exceptional talents, compared to which others may seem to be slower learners.
    Is there any benefit for adults in starting an instrument? Apart from the purely relaxing aspect, yes. Learning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as an added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels. Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Ceilidhs (musical get-togethers) or arrange house concerts. It has been established that people who play instruments tend to be more emotionally balanced and more patient with themselves, others and life in general.
    So go ahead, sign up for that amateur orchestra, dust off your old trombone（长号）or take your first real six-string down from the attic（阁楼）; get out there and play!
    小题1:Playing which of the following musical instruments can help increase a person’s IQ most?
    A．The pianoB．The violinC．The tromboneD．The accordion
    小题2:According to Shinichi Suzuki,             .
    A．The progress in learning an instrument depends on natural gifts
    B．It is too late for an adult to start an instrument
    C．Every child has a natural talent for music.
    D．All people can understand and read music.
    小题3:What can be inferred from the text?
    A．Music can balance our life.
    B．Music can improve our living conditions.
    C．Playing instruments can make adults keep their IQ points.
    D．Playing instruments can help us get along well with others.
    小题4:By writing the text, the author mainly wants to        .
    A．persuade us to send our children to music schools
    B．express his great interest in musical instruments
    C．tell us the importance of Music in Development
    D．invite us to attend Ceilidhs

    Scientists made a great break through this year in England when the first "test tube" baby was born．The birth was the result of many years of research by doctors．The doctors did the research in groups to help the women who cannot conceive a baby in the normal way．
    What happened when the baby was born "from a test tube"? Well, the baby did not literally grow in a test tube．The first stage of the process was that the egg from the woman and the sperm from the man were put together in the test tube．After all, the embryo was put into the womb of a woman．This process was difficult．But it was successful, so the baby was eventually born, like any other, from a woman, only the woman wasn't the baby's real mother, but a sort of "carrier" of a baby produced by another couple．
    Obviously, this method is to help to couples who can't have children because of physical problems in the woman．But very difficult moral problems arise in the kind of situation．Take it for instance, a case that happened this year．A couple who wanted a baby advertised for a woman to have a child by the father of the couple．They offered the woman a lot of money．The woman was made pregnant by artificial insemination; in this case, the woman "employed" to bear the child was its real mother．When the baby was born, the woman refused to give it back to the couple．But, in the eyes of the law, the woman had a right to keep the children because she was its biological mother．
    You could argue that we should change the law to deal with this kind of situation．In earlier times, there were always healthy babies needing adoption, because family planning methods were not so effective as they are now．These days, however, most of the children who can be adopted are over six years old, often handicapped in some way．So a couple who want a young healthy baby cannot always adopt one, this is why the "test tube" baby is in demand．But is it normally right to use this method? Should we temper with nature in this way? Even if we change the law, would this be the right step to take ?
    小题1:The birth of the first "test-tube" baby is a great advance _____．
    A．on medical science
    B．in birth control
    C．on the research for babies
    D．in the lives of married women
    小题2:When we say a baby was born "from a test-tube", we mean_____ ．
    A．the baby didn't develop in the womb of a woman
    B．the baby has no biological parents
    C．the embryo was formed in the test tube
    D．the baby grew in the test-tube before it was born
    小题3:According to the law, who has right to keep the baby produced by the artificial method?
    A．The couple who want a baby．
    B．The biological mother of the child．
    C．The person who pays the money to the real mother．
    D．The father who advertises for a biological mother．
    小题4:According to the passage, people need "test-tube baby" because_____ ．
    A．family planning methods are not effective．
    B．they can't always adopt a young healthy baby
    C．they are unwilling to adopt a child．
    D．there are so many babies needing adoption．

    “People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help deal with climate change,” the world’s leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.
    Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
    Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel’s chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems associated with raising cattle and other animals. “It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport,” he said.
    The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are produced during the production. For example, ruminants (反刍动物), particularly cows, give off a gas called methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than CO2.
    Pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he was given unexpected support by Masterchef presenter and restaurateur John Torode. “I have a little bit and enjoy it,” said Torode. “Too much for any person is bad. But there’s a bigger issue here: where the meat comes from. If we all bought British and stopped buying imported food, we’d save a huge amount of carbon emissions.”
    Professor Robert Watson, the chief scientific adviser for the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, said government could help educate people about the benefits of eating less meat, but it should not regulate. “Eating less meat would help, there’s no question about that,” Watson said.
    However, Chris Lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group BPEX, said the meat industry had been unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and reduce them. “Some ideas were contradictory,” he said. “For example, one solution to emissions from cattle and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare. Climate change is a very young science and our view is there are a lot of simple solutions being proposed.”
    小题1:What is directly related to global warming?
    A．Consumption of meat. B．Growth of cattle.
    C．Methane from ruminants. D．Processing of meat.
    小题2:Who holds a view opposite to the others’ in the passage?
    A．Rajendra Pachauri.B．John Torode. C．Robert Watson. D．Chris Lamb.
    小题3:It is implied in the passage that _____.
    A．we should try to keep away from cattleB．ruminants should not be left outdoors
    C．the meat industry will soon close downD．we must do our duty to save the earth
    小题4: Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
    A．Less meat, slower global warming
    B．More animals, more greenhouse gas
    C．Less imported food, better our environment
    D．Greater diet change, smaller climate change

    About 45 percent of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to a recent survey. However, the benefits of getting enough sleep far outweigh the thrill of watching TV for one more hour or surfing the web. Getting a better night’s sleep will help you lose or keep your weight more effectively. Try these simple steps to improve your quality of sleep.
    Take time to relax
    So many of us go-go-go until it’s time for bed, but it’s important to take time to slow down and relax before sleeping. Do relaxing things, such as listening to soothing (抚慰的) music or deep breathing. Avoid stimulating (刺激的) activities such as writing e-mails, talking on the phone and watching TV. Some guidelines (指导方针): no e-mail after 8 p.m. and no TV or phone calls after 9 p.m..
    Darker is better
    Your body regulates your sleep cycle in response to the presence and absence of light, so dim the lights as evening approaches. Try getting ready for bed by candlelight. When you’re ready to sleep, make sure your room is as dark as possible.
    Put your thoughts to bed
    We all need time to process our day, but bed is not the place to do it if you want to sleep well. Take 10 to 15 minutes to record your thoughts in a journal. This effective technique will capture what’s in your mind so you don’t lie awake. Tell yourself you’re putting your thoughts to bed so that you can go to bed.
    No sugar or alcohol before bed
    These may wake you up. If you need a snack before bed, make it protein.
    Try to get more sleep
    Get an extra hour or two of sleep every night for a week and see how you feel. You’ll notice the difference!
    小题1:The purpose of writing this text is to ________________________.
    A．share some ways to slow down and relax before sleeping
    B．guide readers to improve their quality of sleep
    C．tell readers the importance of getting a good night’s sleep
    D．publish the results of a recent survey on quality of sleep
    小题2:According to the text, we know that __________________________.
    A．we should keep our bedrooms in strong light before going to bed
    B．writing a diary may excite us and influence our sleep
    C．we should never get up later on weekends than we do on weekdays
    D．candlelight is a good choice for our bedrooms when we’re getting ready to sleep
    小题3: We should take time to slow down because it can _________________________.
    A．inform us of the importance of sleeping
    B．signal to our body it’s time to sleep
    C．tell us to stop watching TV for making phone calls
