    Death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two stages---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 lengthen 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（麻醉的) 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（流光466） blood from an artery（动脉）. 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（注射器）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. he still has the possibility of getting back to life

    B. his most important organs are damaged.

    C. he can not 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. delay the coming of biological death.

    D. cool the organism.

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

    Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

    I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.

    Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

    After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.

    Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

    1.According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author

    A. discussed his decision with his family.

    B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work

    C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks

    D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends

    2.In his application for the volunteer job, the author

    A. participated in many discussions

    B. went through some interviews and presentations

    C. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary work

    D. faced strong competition from other candidates

    3.On arrival at the village, the author was

    A. asked to lead a farming team

    B. sent to teach in a schoolhouse

    C. received warmly by local villagers

    D. arranged to live in a separate house.

    Dear SJ,

    Losing a best friend is never easy.

    Your problem, is not just that you miss your best friend, it is that you feel empty and lost without her friendship.

    It takes time to get over a lost, and during that time, your mind is getting used to a new way of being. This is usually a good thing, even if it feels like a bad thing.

    Now that you are on your own, you are being forced to learn to be by yourself and to rely upon your own inner voice for guidance. I am sure that this feels strange for you, but if you can hang on for a bit longer, it may work to your advantage.

    Best friends are cool, but it is important to know the difference between missing someone and being too independent upon them.

    At your age, girls do tend to stick together and having a good boyfriend may not yet be the better choice. Your friend is leaving you, her best friend, for a boyfriend. Boyfriends are completely different from best friends. The distinction is that boyfriends come and go, while girl friends often stay in your life throughout high school, and even afterwards. It is a completely different sort of bond.

    I suggest that you take advantage of this period in your life to expand your horizons. Enjoy the freedom of having no best friend for a while, and hang with the group. By the time your former best friend breaks up with her boyfriend, you will be in a completely different place, a far better place.

    And, by the way, next time you feel empty and lost, try to write about it in a diary. In several months, you will look back and read it with curiosity about yourself. “Who was I then, and what could I have been thinking?”

    1.Judging from the letter, SJ’s problem was that she didn’t know _______ .

    A．whether to give up her best friend

    B．what to do without her best friend

    C．whom to choose between two friends

    D．how to stop missing her former friend

    2.The underlined part “a new way of being” (in Paragraph 3) refers to the situation in which SJ has to _______.

    A．find a new friendship B．live without her boyfriend

    C．learn to give up D．learn to be independent

    3.The writer believes by the time SJ’s former friend loses her boyfriend, SJ will _______.

    A．take revenge on her former friend

    B．comfort her former friend

    C．feel more independent and confident

    D．continue friendship with her former friend

    4.What does the last paragraph seem to suggest?

    A．Unhappy experiences are easy to forget.

    B．Keeping a diary helps correct oneself.

    C．SJ will get over her problem soon.

    D．One shouldn’t forget the past experiences.
