When I was a child, my mom was pushed me to study hard, hoping I could get a

chance to go to college. I experience pressure for the first time. I did that my mom

expected because I didn’t want to let her off. I was born into a poor peasant family,

but I really knew life was not easy. All the things my mother did was the result of

her hope that I could lead better life in the future. As the saying go, “ No pains, no

gains.” I was finally able to meet my mother expectations and had a chance to go

to college. Thanks to my mother’s push and the pressure, I made it. Now, I no

longer think pressure is a good thing.

It is advisable to attach a radiation filter plate (辐射过滤板) in front of your computer’s screen. Make sure to avoid putting any metal substances near your computer as these may have reflected some of the electromagnetic waves that are harmful to your health. _73_The brighter the screen the higher the radiation there will be and vice versa.

You can also put some radiation-absorbing plants such as several cacti near your computer to prevent radiation.

Make sure you do a skincare protection before sitting in front of the computer. _74_Wash your face soon after using the computer in order to reduce 70% of the radiation.

Since its invention 100 years ago, plastic, the superstar of the technological age, has become ugly and ungreen. But that’s about to change. An exhibition at London’s Science Museum this week could put it back on the cutting edge of science.

Have you ever hesitated in donating blood? The invention of “plastic blood” might make you feel better.

British scientists are working on the artificial blood as a replacement for real blood in emergency situations. It is made of plastic molecules (分子) and can join oxygen and transport it around the body. As a red, honey - like glue, plastic blood can be carried around conveniently. You just add water to make as much blood as you need.

The cells of our body are strict about what molecules they let in and out. For example, if we inject protein or DNA directly into the body, our immune (免疫的) system will destroy it before it reaches the cells.

To get around this, a British scientist has created drug-carrying plastic balls that fool the body into thinking they are natural. Once inside the cell, their contents are spread out through a small controlled explosion.

Skin transplants are widely done these days. But removing a piece of skin from, say, the bottom to plant it on the face can hurt and be troublesome.

A British company, CellTran, is working on plastic skin. Using plastic, they plan to take a small piece of the patient’s skin and grow it into an extra layer of skin on top of the plastic.

The plastic feels similar to skin, so skin cells like to grow on it. The plastic then gradually disappears, without any reaction or infection.

68.　 What would be the best title for the text?

A.　　　 The superstar of technological age

B.　　　 An exhibition at London’s Science Museum

C.　　　 No more “white pollution”

D.　　 Plastic takes on a new life

69.　 The phrase “get around” in Paragraph 5 means closest to _____________.

A. overcome　 　　B. end　 　　　C. ensure　 　　　D. pass

70.　 Which of the following is true according to the text?

A.　　　　 Plastic blood will be injected into the body in drug-carrying plastic balls.

B.　　　　 The plastic skin will remain a part of the new skin.

C.　　　　 Plastic blood will take the place of real blood.

D.　　　 The cells of our body will let in whatever molecules they get.

You don’t need millions to be happy. In fact, at The Happiness Institute in Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough.

The institute opened its door last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages have been paying $ 200 an hour for lessons on how to feel great.

“You can actually increase your happiness levels. That’s what we teach,” said Timothy Sharp, founder of the institute.

Experts say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income, assets (财产)and other financial factors. As much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitude, life control and relationships.

Most of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven’t changed to reflect that.

Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happiness.

Many decades ago, the sage (圣人、哲人)of Baltimore, Maryland”, editor HL Mencken, defined wealth as earning $100 more than your “wife’s sister’s husband”.

Behavioral economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare ourselves to people better off materially.

“The argument is that if you want to be happy there’s a very simple thing you can do:

Compare yourself to people who are less well off than you---poorer, smaller house and

car,” said Sharp.

The Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by focusing on “more than just your bank account”.

“If I compare myself to Bill Gates then I’m always going to be down,” said Sharp.

A better thing to compare with, he said, might be Kerry Packer, Australia’s richest person who has had a kidney (肾脏) transplant and heart surgery in recent years.

64. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. You may increase your happiness levels after attending the classes at The Happiness Institute.

B. Most of us are happier than our parents or grandparents since we earn more.

C. Earn $100 more than your wife’s sister’s husband if you want to be happy.

D. Both Bill Gates and Kerry Packer are examples of those who are extremely rich but obviously unhappy.

65. The underlined phrase has the same meaning as the word______.

A. healthy　 　　B. unhealthy　 　　　C. free　 　　　D. wealthy

66. The author wrote the passage to tell us_____.

A. happiness is everything

B. wealth is the foundation of happiness

C. we can’t have fun at The Happiness Institute

D. money doesn’t always mean happiness

67. According to the passage, happiness mainly depends on_____.

A. income, assets and other financial factors

B. additional wealth apart from the satisfaction of the basic needs of shelter and food

C. things like attitude, life control and relationships

D. society development

Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5：30 and at 6：30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over (被绊倒)Sheba.

“Hey, Sheba,” she said, “I've got no time for you now, but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet (兽医).

When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.

　　 “Listen, doctor, I'm really in a rush to get to a meeting, can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”

　　 “Sure.” said the doctor.

　　 　Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more　entering the hallway,　 the phone by the door began to ring.

　　 　“This is Dr. Sterne,” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately, ”said the doctor's voice. “I'm coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!”

　　 　At that moment, a police car screeched (发出尖锐的声音)to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.

“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.

“She’s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now. ”

Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man,　 who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.

　　 “My God, ” said Joanne,　 “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”

　　 “I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat：it turned out to be three human fingers.”
