    8．When Regina Spektor moved to the Bronx from Russia as a young child of 9，she could speak no English and her family was so poor that they could afford nothing．Yet she carried with her a love of the piano and music．
    "For me，the thing that I loved the most was playing the piano，so when we left Russia I was so afraid I would forget how to play and I would just find a little table and play my pieces，"she told"When you spend your life doing something like playing the piano and then you take that away，it's so surreal．"（离奇的）
    Her father，Ilya Spektor，said that，little by little，the family saved enough money to afford their first apartment．
    "I was a photographer and，in six weeks，I found my first job in a big photo lab in Manhattan，"he said．On the subway one day，Ilya Spektor spotted a man carrying a violin case．The man also seemed to have an Eastern European accent．A conversation led to a visit and，eventually，Regina Spektor was introduced to Sonia Vargas，a piano teacher．She was a well-known professor who taught piano，took Spektor under her wing and trained her for years，at no cost．"I remember talking to Sonia，"Spektor said．"She said that when a student is ready，a teacher appears．So she said that I must have been ready to study piano，and so that's why she came into my life．"
    "Immediately，how she played，"Vargas said．"You can tell the sound．The sound tell you whether the person loves the instrument，loves the music．"
    Much later，while playing her own music and selling a CD that she'd created，Regina Spektor caught the attention of a music producer．The rest is history，complete with concerts around the world and performance in front of the Obamas at the White House．
    Regina Spektor greatly appreciated her parents，piano teachers and friends for helping her become the musician she is．"I love the idea that if you're walking toward the world，the world will take some steps towards you，"she said．

     B．could afford a new piano
    C．learned how to play the piano

    3．Out of the coldThere are no known cures for colds and the flu，so cold and flu prevention should be your goal．The most effective way of preventing the flu is to get the flu shot．（36）ABut there are other techniques you can employ as well．Here are some tips you can use to help prevent colds and the flu naturally：
    Put a box of of tissues（纸巾）wherever people sit．Place tissue boxes strategically around the house，at work，and in the car．（37）BThen anyone who has to cough or blow their nose can use them in a way least likely to spread bacteria．
    Leave the windows open in winter．Not all of them，but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time． （38）D
    Add green tea and an apple to your morning break．Recent research by food nutritionists at Auckland University in New Zealand，found that eating food rich in flavonoids（类黄酮）could lower the risk of adults catching a cold by as much as 33%． （39）F  Eating five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit
    each day in a variety of colours is a great way to make sure you get enough flavonoids in your diet．
    （40）C The knuckle（指关节）is less likely to have viruses than your fingertip．The eye provides a perfect entry point for bacteria，and the average person rubs his eyes or nose or scratches his face 20--50times a day，making fingers particularly good at spreading bacteria．

    A．It works better than anything else．
    B．You need to make them widely available．
    C．Use your knuckle to gently rub your eyes．
    D．Fresh air does wonders for chasing out bacteria．
    E．Never come into direct contact with viruses and bacteria．
    F．They are found in green tea，apples，blueberries，red wine and cocoa．
    G．When you feel a cough coming，use a tissue，then throw it away immediately．

    20．Garlic is one of the most common cooking ingredients around the world．Many dishes in Europe，Africa，Asia and the Americas use this strong-flavored vegetable．
    Garlic is similar to other bulb-shaped plants，including onions，chives，leeks and scallions．But garlic is special．For centuries，people have used garlic not only for cooking，but also for medicine．
    Medicinal garlic throughout time．
    Researchers at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Cornell University studied the medicinal use of garlic throughout history．They found references to garlic in ancient texts from Egypt，Greece，Rome，China and India．
    For example，in ancient Greece and Rome，people considered garlic an aid to strength and endurance．
    The original Olympic athletes in Greece ate garlic to improve their performance．The ancient Romans fed garlic to the soldiers and sailors．
    Workers who built the pyramids in Egypt ate garlic．In fact，this is a theme throughout early history--workers eating garlic to increase their strength．
    Some researchers in China have gone so far as to call hydrogen sulfide the key to a longer life．
    _______!
    In a 2007 study，researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham studied how garlic increased hydrogen sulfide and how that，in turn，affected red blood cells．
    David Kraus led that study．
    In 2013，scientists were finally able to see this process happen．Chemists Alexander Lippert of Southern Methodist University in Dallas and Vivian S．Lin discovered how to observe this process in living human cells．
    Their discovery has opened the door to more research into the health benefits of garlic and the production of hydrogen sulfide in the body．
    In a 2015experiment at Penn State University，researchers injected a solution that would create hydrogen sulfide in the arms of healthy young adults．They wanted to see what hydrogen sulfide would do to a small area of blood vessels．
    The initial findings are that hydrogen sulfide widened blood vessels，which then increased the flow of blood．These researchers plan to continue their research．They published their findings in The Journal of Physiology．
    Older garlic may be even healthier．
    But let's leave the laboratory and go to the kitchen．Don't throw out older garlic that has sprouted．You may have thought that garlic growing light green sprouts was past its prime or old and on its way to the trash bin．
    But not so fast．
    Scientists have reported in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that this older garlic has even more properties that are good for our bodies than fresh garlic．When researchers tested garlic that had sprouted for five days，they found it had higher antioxidant activity than fresher bulbs of garlic．
    Also，to get the full effect of garlic's health benefits，do not add it to food or cook with it immediately．Cutting，crushing or mincing garlic releases the healthy compound found in the vegetable．But heating the garlic or adding it to other ingredients prevents the release of this healthy compound．So cut or crush or mince the garlic，and let it rest by itself for a couple minutes．
    So，are there any downsides to garlic？Well，the same reason garlic is good for us and good in dishes--that strong sulfur odor--is the same reason it gives us bad breath．
    But there might be a cure for that，too．Yet another study found that eating an apple or lettuce after eating garlic cuts down on the strong garlic smell on one's breath．

    63．According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true？C
    A．Garlic can be used not only for cooking，but also for medicine．
    B．Workers would eat garlic to increase their strength in the past．
    C．Garlic growing light green sprouts was past its prime or old and should be thrown to the trash bin．
    D．Heating the garlic or adding it to other ingredients would reduce the health benefit of garlic．
    64．Which sentence could be filled in the blanks？A
    A．So many studies on garlic 
    B．Medicinal garlic throughout time
    C．Garlic is such a healthy food
    D．Study about garlic
    65．Where can you probably find the text？D
    A．In a popular magazine．
    B．In a story book．
    C．In a biology textbook．

    17．When I first started university，I remembered hearing about bone marrow（骨髓）donation during Freshman's Week．Some students volunteers from a group called Marrow tried to convince me to attend an event so I could learn more about it．The word"bone"immediately made me think that donating would be a painful procedure，so I refused． Back then，there was no way I could have known three years later，I would be one of the many people that desperately needs a bone marrow donor to save their lives．
    I am currently waiting to be matched with a donor and if I am lucky enough to find a good match，it will be this lovely stranger that saves my life．I received my cancer diagnosis in June．It is only at that time that I realized how ignorant I had been about the bone marrow donation process．
    The process of donating stem cells is actually very simple．In 90% of cases，donors are asked to donate their blood stem cells，the other 10% will give their bone marrow．Lots of donors say that both these things are virtually pain free，and nothing to be scared about．Being a bone marrow donor should be something to be proud of，as every donor has an opportunity to save someone's life!
    At the moment I know that the doctors are busy searching for a match，I simply live every day in the hope that there will be a donor right for me．If I have an opportunity for life，I won't waste it．
    When I was a first year at university，I made the mistake of walking away from becoming a stem cell donor．Please don't make the same mistake that I did．There are so many people out there，including myself，that need your help； and by undergoing a simple，pain-free procedure，you could have the chance to proudly say that you saved someone's life．

    25．Why did the author refuse to learn more about bone marrow donation before？B
    A．Because she could get nothing from it．
    B．Because she thought that donating would be painful．

    D．Because she was in poor health．
    26．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph1？C
    A．The author was concerned about others．
    B．The author was confident about the bone marrow donation．
    C．The author needs the bone marrow donation now．
    D．The author donates her bone marrow to save others．
    27．The author needs the bone marrow because she gotA
    A．cancer        
    B．headache     
    C．flu     
    D．high blood pressure
    28．The author told us her story toD

    B．explain the cause of her cancer．
