The way to be happy

A few years ago, a little boy who was six years old from Corvallis, Oregon suffered burns over 85% of his body. His condition was bad that several doctors gave him up and one hospital would not him because they thought he die anyway.

His life was saved, , by eight courageous people — his parents, three and three doctors. The nurses appeared the true heroines in this real-life story. After other nurses had quit, these women took eight-hour shifts with the boy, him through skin grafts (移植), operations, crucial (关键性的) periods in which death almost gained victory, and dull days of rehabilitation (康复). The boy grew to dislike them, as he thought they caused his pain.

His room 12 feet by 12 feet. The door was shut, and shades were drawn. The nurses stayed with him, in caps, masks and gloves they were assisting an operation. Within an hour they got . For 14 long months the nurses gave their all to the boy. Then, one day, he finally climbed from his and walked.

It was a great day! The nurses were for their tireless efforts. Their sense of satisfaction was so great after fighting off the thought of for 14 months that each said they’d make the effort again.

What them to feel so satisfied? I think it was more than simply the fact that the boy survived. Together they attempted something nearly impossible, but also truly .

It is like something American educator Booker T. Washington once said, “Those are happiest are those who do the most for others.”

these nurses did was significant. They worked hard and selflessly. And in doing so, they found .

In June, an isolated tribe known to semi-permanently reside in Peru emerged from the forest on the neighboring Envira River in Brazil to make contact with the outside world. Such contact happens surprisingly often, but it is usually brief. “This is unique in that they’ve chosen to stay,” says Chris Fagan, director of the nongovernmental group Upper Amazon Conservancy.

Reportedly under threat from illegal loggers, a few dozen tribespeople remain near the village where they first emerged. They are under the supervision of FUNAI, Brazil’s agency for Indian affairs. During many past contact events, members of the isolated groups died after encountering modern diseases for the first time. But experts hope the group that emerged in June will fare (进展) better because members have stayed long enough to receive medical care. There’s still concern that other members of the group’s tribe may have remained in the forest, vulnerable to disease and unreachable by medical personnel.

“The worst-case scenario (方案) is that some people get sick and go back to the original tribe,” says University of Missouri anthropologist Robert Walker, who studies Amazonian populations. “That’s the huge worry.”

Walker, who studies satellite imagery (卫星图) of the rainforest for evidence of isolated villages, says four or five such nomadic hunter-gatherer groups live in the Envira River watershed, though he estimates between 50 and 100 isolated indigenous (土生土长的) groups live in Greater Amazonia. These groups often make fleeting (短暂的) contact to steal tools from frontier towns, but most, he says, remain isolated out of fear. “Some of these folks’ ancestors have been massacred,” he says. “They were contacted, violently, in the past.”

Now, with illegal loggers and drug smugglers invading land reserves established to protect the tribespeople’s way of life, these isolated groups are feeling pressured out of their homes. And although activist groups and government anthropologists train locals to temporarily leave the area when isolated tribes arrive as a way to prevent the spread of disease, lack of official protocols (协议), consistent enforcement and regular compensation for villagers often make it an ineffective solution.

These tribespeople “have a right to continue their lifestyle as long as they want to,” Fagan says. “There are land reserves set up to allow them to do that, and those reserves are failing.”

【1】Where do the tribespeople who make contact with the outside world live?

A. In the US. B. In Brazil.

C. In Peru. D. In Cuba.

【2】Mr Walker is __________.

A. director of the nongovernmental group Upper Amazon Conservancy

B. an official from the Brazilian government

C. an official from FUNAI, Brazil’s agency for Indian affairs

D. an anthropologist from America

【3】What does the underlined word “massacred” mean?

A. killed in a large number.

B. given enough medical treatment.

C. helped with tender care.

D. treated in a friendly way.

【4】From what Fagan says in the last paragraph, we can know _______.

A. It is unique that the tribespeople should ask to stay

B. The government did a lot to set up land rserves but ended up in vain.

C. These tribespeople don’t have a right to continue their lifestyle as long as they want to.

D. The worst-case scenario is that some people get sick and go back to the original tribe.

【题目】Dolphins call out the specific names of loved ones when they become separated, a study finds．Other than humans, they are the only animals known to do this, according to the study．The big difference with dolphins is that these communications consist of whistles（鸣叫）, not words．

Earlier research found that dolphins have a “signature whistle” that would be somewhat like human shouting, “Hey everybody! I’m an adult healthy male named George, and I mean you no harm．”

The new finding is that dolphins also say the names of certain other dolphins．“Animals produced copies of the same sound when they were separated from a close partner．This supports our belief that dolphins copy another animal’s signature whistle when they want to reunite with that animal,” Stephanie King, who led the study, says．

King and her colleagues collected acoustic（声音的）data from wild dolphins around Sarasota Bay, Florida, from 1984 to 2009．The researchers also studied four adult male dolphinshousedat the Seas Aquarium, also in Florida．

Those males are adults that keepers named Calvin, Khyber, Malabar and Ranier, all of whom, as well as all of the wild ones, developed their own signature whistles that served as names in communication with other dolphins．

“A dolphin uses its signature whistle to broadcast its identity and announce its presence．The signature whistles allow animals to identify one another over long distances and allow animals to recognize one another and to join up with each other,” King explains．“Dolphin whistles can be heard up to 20km away, depending on water depth and whistle frequency（频率）．”

The researchers said dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones, such as a mother, when the two are separated．These “names” are always used in positive situations, and are only directed toward loved ones．

While researchers are often unwilling to apply the word language to non-human communications, dolphins clearly have a very complex communication system．

【1】The underlined word “housed” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”．

A. raised B. saved C. discovered D. hunted

【2】Which of the following plays a part in whether dolphin whistles can be heard over a distance?

A. The dolphin’s identity．

B. The water temperature

C. The whistle frequency．

D. The dolphin’s age．

【3】When do dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones?

A. When there is a fight．

B. When their keeper comes．

C. When they are apart．

D. When they are hungry．

【4】Where is the passage probably taken from?

A. A magazine about scientific advances．

B. A website about various animals．

C. A report on animal acoustics．

D. An essay about the relationship between humans and animals．

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME

In June 1971, Helene Hanff travelled to London and visited the site of Marks & Co, the bookshop that had been dear to her for 20 years. While Hanff was very happy to finally step foot on British soil the visit carried with it a sad irony (讽刺), which she explained in a 1980 television interview with Dick Cavett: “It was very sad,” she said. “It was the bookstore manager Frank Doel’s death that made me want to write the story of our correspondence and when a publisher bought it, I went to London on the proceeds of the sale.”

Hanff spent the early part of her career trying to make a name for herself as a playwright. London-based writer Monica Porter, who met her in the 1980s, says that Hanff considered herself a “failed playwright” and that her 1961 book Underfoot in Show Business was an account of her failure to get her plays produced. A decade after 84, Charing Cross Road was published, James Roose-Evans adapted the book for the stage and the play was a West End hit.

It had a 16-month run and Hanff finally got to taste stage success, albeit (虽然；即使) in a circuitous (迂回的) way. In a piece that Porter wrote for the British weekly newspaper, The Stage, she says Hanff was led on stage at the end of the opening night performance to thunderous applause. “To get a standing ovation(热烈的鼓掌) like that, taking curtain calls before an enthusiastic audience, was something she must often have dreamt about,” Porter wrote.

The stage adaptation opened in the US a year later, but never lived up to its West End success. This was to Hanff’s great relief. According to Porter, she once recounted: “Being a celebrity for a week in London had been the most fun I’d had in my life, and wonderful for the ego (自我) - but only because I’d known I was coming home at the end of it, home to the quiet, orderly, solitary(独立的), unglamorous life I was made for.”

However, her peace was not to last: Hollywood came calling. The 1987 film of 84 Charing Cross Road, produced by Mel Brooks, won several awards.

Anne Bancroft starred as Hanff. Doel was played by Anthony Hopkins. Hanff died in New York in 1997 from diabetes-related complications. Today, the Marks & Co building is a restaurant with a plaque on its street frontage that commemorates(纪念) the author that made the site so famous. And Hanff’s unlikely bestseller remains in print.

【1】What made Helene Hanff want to write the story of their correspondence?

A. The trip to the bookstore.

B. The death of the bookstore manager.

C. A decade after 84, Charing Cross Road was published.

D. Visiting the site of Marks & Co, the bookshop.

【2】It took Hanff the early part of her career to _______.

A. finally step foot on British soil

B. commemorate the author that made the site so famous

C. try to make a name for herself as a playwright

D. get to taste stage success

【3】What made Hanff feel relieved?

A. The stage adaptation that never lived up to its West End success.

B. The 1987 film of 84 Charing Cross Road winning several awards.

C. James Roose-Evans adapting the book for the stage.

D. A piece that Porter wrote for the British weekly newspaper, The Stage.

【4】Nowadays the Marks & Co building is _______.

【题目】C

A Swiss airplane powered only by energy from the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9. Its creators hope the plane will make the first around-the-world journey without any fuel.

The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber. The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747. The plane’s wings stretch 72 meters across.

Those wings include 17,000 solar units, or cells, that capture the sun’s energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and night.

Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first non-stop flight around the world in a balloon. Borschberg is an engineer and trained fighter pilot.

The scientists say they are not trying to change the airplane industry. Instead, they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can achieve what some say is impossible.

“We want to show we can fly day and night in an aircraft without a drop of fuel,” Mr. Piccard said.

Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the tiny plane for five to six days and nights in a row. So it is good that the pilot’s seat is also a toilet.

The plane’s route begins in the United Arab Emirates. The pilots also plan stops in Oman, India, and China. They will cross the Pacific Ocean, stop in the United States, and continue over southern Europe or North Africa. They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August.

【1】Which of the following is the plan stops of the tour made by the solar-powered plane?

A. Abu Dhabi---Oman---China---the United States--- southern Europe ---the United Arab Emirates

B. the United Arab Emirates--Oman--- India---the United States--- North Africa--- Abu Dhabi

C. the United Arab Emirates--Oman--- India ---China---southern Europe --- Abu Dhabi

D. Abu Dhabi--Oman--- India ---China---the United States--- the United Arab Emirates

【2】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The plane’s wings include 17,000 solar units, or cells, that capture the sun’s energy.

B. The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are narrower than a Boeing 747.

C. Bertrand Piccard is one of the co-builders of the plane.

D. The scientists are trying to change the airplane industry.

【3】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Solar Powered Plane Starts World Tour

B. A Plane Powered By Solar Energy

C. A Plane’s Route Begins in the United Arab Emirates

D. A Tour Around the World
