    The worst days of any summer are the rainy ones. We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. In winter, with its cloudy days and bitter cold, we dream of those days at the beach, lying on the sand and enjoying the bright and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and it rains.

    As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasn’t fair. We suffered through months of school and experienced bad weather for those short ten weeks of freedom.

    On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out at the rain like a bird in a cage. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, so I was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was at work. It was those days that I would watch whatever was on television or read any books that I could find lying around. I’d pray each night that the rain would not be there the next day.

    As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as exciting. Everything seems uninteresting. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer comes, I hate how hot it is. And then I look forward to the rain, because the rain brings with it a cold front, which makes me comfortable. Rainy days are still the worst days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful — and quite cooler — weather tomorrow.

    1.When the author was a child, he ______.

    A. liked staying indoors B. hated rainy days

    C. dreamed on summer days D. preferred cooler weather

    2.We can learn from the passage that the author ______.

    A. could enjoy the brilliant sun in winter

    B. preferred reading to playing outside

    C. had no brothers or sisters

    D. was often left alone at home

    3.As an adult, the author views summer rain differently because ______.

    A. rain makes the weather cooler

    B. his summer holiday is very short

    C. he knows it won’t last long

    D. he can better deal with his spare time

    Death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases --- clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be revived(复活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.

    Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.

    To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.

    1.For a person who suffers from the clinical death, _________.

    A. his most important organs are damaged.

    B. he still has the possibility of getting back to life.

    C. he cannot avoid final death.

    D. he is still very much alive

    2.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to __________.

    A. slow down the body’s metabolism.

    B. bring vital cells and tissues back to active life.

    C. cool the organism.

    D. delay the coming of biological death.

    3.How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death?

    A. By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.

    B. By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.

    C. By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.

    D. By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.

    4.All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state except the fact that__________.

    A. her heart beat again.

    B. she regained her normal breath.

    C. she rejected a penicillin injection.

    D. she acted as lively as a healthy monkey.

    Do women’s minds work the same as men’s? Absolutely not. At least, that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject either as a matter or frustration or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this minefield, and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women. But being different, they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being better or worse.

    There is, however, a definite structural variation between the male and female brain. The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most complex intellectual processes-the link between the two halves of the brain.

    The two halves are linked by a trunkline of between 200 and 300 million nerves, the corpus callosum. Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus callosum in women is always larger and probably richer in nerve fibres than it is in men. This is the first time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men and it must have some significance. The question is "What?", and, if this difference exists, are there others? Research shows that present-day women think differently and behave differently from men. Are some of these differences biological and inborn, a result of evolution? We tend to think that is the influence of society that produces these differences. But could we be wrong?

    Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. For most people, the left half is used for word handing, analytical and logical activities; the right half works on pictures, patterns and forms. We need both halves working together. And the better the connections, the more harmoniously the two halves work. And, according to research findings, women have the better connections.

    But it isn't all that easy to explain the actual differences between skills of men and women on this basis. In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at "language subjects" and boys better at maths and physics. If these differences correspond with the differences in the hemispheric trunkline, here is an unalterable distinction between the sexes.

    We shan't know for a while, partly because we don't know of any precise relationship between abilities in school subject and the functioning of the two halves of the brain, and we cannot understand how the two halves interact via the corpus callosum. But this striking difference must have some effect and, because the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect, we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing.

    1.Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

    A. Results of scientific research fail to support popular belief.

    B. Brain differences point to superiority of one sex over the other.

    C. Biologists are conducting research where psychologists have given up

    D. The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.

    2.The corpus callosum functions in __________.

    A. forming the nerve fibers.

    B. differing man from woman.

    C. enabling the brain to work.

    D. processing the most complex intellectuality.

    3.According to the passage it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by ______factors.

    A. social B. psychological C. physical D. biological

    4."these differences" in paragraph 5 refer to those in ________.

    A. school subjects

    B. skills of men and women

    C. the brain structure of men and women

    D. activities carried out by the brain

    5.At the end of the passage the author proposes more work on ________.

    A. the brain structure as a whole

    B. the functioning of part of the brain

    C. the distinction between the sexes

    D. the effects of the corpus callosum

    It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.

    I was the nurse on duty that day. I didn’t think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.

    “Are you all sick?” I asked.

    “Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.

    But when it came to descriptions of their problems, things got a little unclear. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.

    Something was wrong, but I didn’t say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded, “Take your time; it’s warm here.”

    Then I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address—they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.

    I looked out at the family gathering close together by the Christmas tree. The little one was pointing at the television and saying something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at something on the Christmas tree.

    I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working on Christmas, began to feel pity for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there’s a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.

    We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we claimed that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. We needed presents. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things available that could be presents. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.

    Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the four-year old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”

    1.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

    A. Working on Christmas Day

    B. Christmas Day is Coming

    C. A Happy Family

    D. A Pale Woman and Four Small Children

    2.What kind of person do you think the author is?

    A. Hardworking and outgoing

    B. Serious and careful

    C. Hardworking and warmhearted

    D. Serious and stubborn

    3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Something was wrong with one of the children’ s head.

    B. The pale woman forgot to write the address.

    C. One of the children had a language problem.

    D. The whole family pretended to be sick.

    4.It can be inferred from the text that ______.

    A. The author didn’t think there would be any patients on Christmas Day

    B. The woman was uncomfortable when she lowered her head

    C. The family appeared in the emergency room on Christmas Eve

    D. The woman and four small children were satisfied and grateful

At school, all the teachers work very hardly, encouraging us to build up our confidence. Wherever we meet with difficulties, they are ready to come to our help. Meanwhile, our school also did a lot for us. For example, the library stays open up in the evenings. At home, we are also taken well care of and our parents often tell us to have good rest.
