Ever tried taking smart drugs to perform better in exams? They 
certainly work．Before last summer's exam, a few of my mates, merely
out of curiosity, took a considerable amount of Modafinil, a drug nor-
mally used for narcolepsy（嗜眠发作症）.Guess what? While I was
feeling sleepy, bored by revision, my mates were more focused．
Modafinil is a smart drug that gives a user a feeling of staying awake for hours．It also sharpens the mind, improves memory and helps problem-solving．
But it does more than just keeping you awake．It disturbs your mental system, making you desperate to do what you are doing．You just don't want to do anything else but revise all the time non-stop．
A recent study discovers that healthy people use smart drugs, like Modafinil, to get down to and complete tasks they have been putting off, because these tasks seem more enjoyable when taking these drugs. This might sound like what a stressed student desires. However, the pills have a range of side-effects.
"At present no evidence shows that these drugs are safe in healthy people," as a medical expert puts it, "Ordering online, though easy, is a dangerous way to obtain drugs. You never know what you're actually purchasing. "
In my experience, Modafinil changes people's behaviour too. Over those weeks my friends became different people-in turn aggressive, cold. Even eating became "a waste of time" and sodid conversation.
A BBC survey found that of those who had tried smart drugs before, 92% would do so again. My friends say they'd happily do so without considering the practice a form of cheating.
I admit I was curious-but not enough to try it. Seeing the strange behaviour of other users, I feel a little bit upset and scary. Modafinil may promise to change your grades, but it might also change the way you act. Don't say you haven't been warned!
71. According to the author, his mates took Modafinil for the purpose of______.
A. escaping from reality B. getting better exam results
C. curing their narcolepsy D. leading an active life
72. Taking the smart drug can lead to ______.
A. cheating in the exam B. dropping out of school
C. youth crime D. drug addiction
73. How does the author find his males' taking the smart drugs?
A. Worrying. B. Inspiring.
C. Acceptable. D. Reasonable.
74. Which statement about Modafinil is wrong?
A. Modafinil sharpens the mind and helps problem-solving.
B. Modafinil more than just keeps you awake.
C. Modafinil has a range of side effects.
D. Modafinil is safe in healthy people.
75. Who are the target readers of this passage?
A. Teachers. B. Doctors.
C. Scientists. D. Students.

科目：高中英语 来源：2010年广东省东莞市高二下学期期末考试英语卷 题型：阅读理解
Our neighbour's son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.
June 29 came and, of course, I hadn't lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I figured a nice new girdle (紧身内衣) would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle. The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn't try it on.”
The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? That's it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn't match my red face well, and was ready to go.
Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass. I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders.
Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.
