Part 4 Comprehensive Skills
CLOZE 1
It was a cold winter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance, 1 for the train to take me to my 2 in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves, 3 their steaming cups of coffee.
Reaching into my po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cket as the 4 was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 5 ! I searched through my bag and then I felt 6 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be 7 there.
“What’s the matter ” A short, elderly man stood before me.
“Oh, nothing…. Well, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 8 my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to 9 my math class, and the train is leaving.”
“Here, use this.”
The man held a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )$ 20 bill. I looked up, 10 . People just didn’t do that anymore. Everyone worried about their own 11 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers.
“Thank you, but no, I can’t.”
“ 12 it – go!” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )The man pushed me 13 the train. I bought a round – trip ticket, and he refused the change I 14 to give him back. I did not know what to say – a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood 15 .
For the train ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ride I was silent. I began to see the world through 16 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple 17 .
A week later I was at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the train station again, with an extra $ 20 18 I saw the man. And there he was.
“excuse me, sir, I be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lieve I owe you this.” I 19 the money into his hand.
Failing to refuse, he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes someday.” I smiled, content.
The elderly man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a 20 stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.

READING 1
A Charlotte, N.C., man was charged with first-degree murder of a 79-year-old woman whom police said he scared to death. In an attempt to evade policemen after a bank robbery, the Associated Press reports that 20-year-old Larry Whitfield broke into the home of Mary Parnell. Police say he didn’t touch Parnell but that she died after suffering a heart attack that was caused by terror. Can the guy be held responsible for the woman’s death Prosecutors(公诉人) said that he can under the state’s murder rule, which allows someone to be charged with murder if he or she causes another person’s death while committing or fleeing from a severe crime like robbery—even if he or she doesn’t kill someone on purpose.
But, medically sp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eaking, can someone actually be frightened to death We asked Martin Samuels, chairman of the neurology department at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
Absolutely, no question about it.
The body has a na ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tural protective method called the fight-or-flight response(战或逃反应), which was originally described by Walter Cannon，the chairman of Harvard University’s physiology department from 1906 to 1942. If, in the wild, an animal is faced with a life-threatening situation, the autonomic nervous system responds by increasing heart rate, increasing blood flow to the muscles, and slowing digestion, among other things. All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast. This process certainly would be of help to primitive humans. However, in the modern world there is obvious decline of the fight-or-flight response.
The autonomic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nervous system uses the chemical messenger to send signals to various parts of the body to activate the fight-or-flight response. This chemical is toxic in large amounts; it damages the organs such as the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. It is believed that almost all sudden deaths are caused by damage to the heart. There is almost no other organ that would fail so fast as to cause sudden death. Kidney failure, liver failure, those things don’t kill you suddenly.
By the way, any ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )strong positive or negative emotions such as happiness or sadness can cause the same result. There are people who have died in intercourse or in religious passion. There was a case of a golfer who hit a hole in one, turned to his partner and said, “I can die now”, and then he dropped dead. For about seven days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon there was an increase of sudden cardiac death among New Yorkers.
1. Why the Charlotte, N.C., man was charged
A. Because he threatened the policemen to kill an old woman.
B. Because he caused an old woman’s terror and she died.
C. Because he beat an old woman and caused her heart attack
D. Because he murdered an old woman while robbing a bank.
2. What is Martin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Samuels’ attitude to the possibility of being frightened to death
A. Approval. B. Disapproval. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
3. Which of the following about the fight-or-flight response is true
A. The fight-or-f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )light response was raised and proved by Martin A. Samuels.
B. It is a natural ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) protective method that can’t be found in all creatures but humans.
C. The ancient hu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mans had a superior fight-or-flight response than modern ones.
D. The fight ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )-or-flight response is beneficial to both our actions and organs.
4. What activity can we infer is less likely to damage the organs
A. Winning a big lottery. B. Missing a dead family.
C. Watching a horror movie. D. Listening to a sweet song.
5. The purpose of the passage is_________.
A. to explain why people will die of a heart attack
B. to offer some advice on protecting us from heart failure
C. to compare different kinds of feelings to cause a death
D. to show strong emotions can cause a sudden death

Shyness May Be Partly Inherited
About 92 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) million Americans are shy, and according to recent research about half of them inherited the trait.
The studies ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) were discussed at the American Psychological Convention.
One study, b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y Harvard University, was of babies 21- 48 months old. It concluded that these babies had a high heart rate when shown unfamiliar people or different toys.
Although shyn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ess is not new, it has only recently become of interest to researchers. The first study on the genetic connection was in 1979.
According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Warren Jones of the University of Tulsa, social relations these days are more complex. "With less ritual(仪式) and more complex situations," he said, "shyness is a national concern."
Not all shy pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople are anxious and fearful, according to another study. Evidence shows that only half of shy people are tense, worried, and fearful in social situations.
Many men us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e shyness as an excuse for failing in social situations, according to C.R. Snyder of the University of Kansas. "This is not true of females. Perhaps, American men are pressured to be assertive(自信的) and successful. So they would rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent."
Shy peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple may do very well socially after the first meeting with someone. In fact, shy people tend to be more stable.
The psychologis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts said shyness seems to be cultural. Japan has the highest rating. China and Israel have the lowest rating. The United States rated in the middle.
1. The word "trait" in the first paragraph means ______
A. way B. tradition C. character D. possession
2. Those babies ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )studied were ______ when they saw unfamiliar people or different
toys.
A. tense or fearful B. calm C. as usual D. stable
3. Which of the following statements is Wrong
A. Researchers began to study shyness when it was known to them.
B. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to Warren Jones, shyness had something to do with social relations
C. Some shy people are anxious and fearful, some not.
D. Shyness can perhaps make people do very well socially.
4. Why would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) American men rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent
Because ______.
A. shyness is usually used as an excuse by them.
B. shyness is a good excuse.
C. females don't use shyness as an excuse.
D. they are under the pressure of social situations.
5.We can learn from this passage that ______
A. shyness is naturally inherited
B. shy people have virtues as well as shortcomings.
C. females don’t use shyness as an excuse
D. which country has shy people.

Emotional quot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ient (EQ) is one of the ways to measure a person’s ability to be successful in life. The phrase was first developed in the 1980s and asserts that emotional quotient or emotional intelligence is as valuable as intellectual quotient (IQ).
According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )heories of brain function, a high emotional quotient means someone is self-confident, self-aware, and able to navigate through trying emotional times. EQ is often tied directly to the degree of success one may have in the workplace and in personal relationships. Some companies offer services to test the emotional quotient of employees.
Intelligence quo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tient measuring has existed for much longer than EQ measuring. Alfred Binet developed the first modern IQ test in the early 20th century. Currently an IQ test involves a set of standardized questions. While the IQ can help us with thinking, many feel it is not enough in measuring creative abilities or emotional abilities. In fact, some with high IQ do not seem to be good at maintaining(维持) relationships.
For example IQ meas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urements on most children with autism(孤独症) are typically very high, yet it is well known that these children have trouble in communicating with others.
Now intelligenc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e quotient testing is now not administered very frequently, since some feel it merely measures how well people do on IQ tests. Emotional quotient testing is becoming more popular in the workplace since some employers feel it will help predict how well potential employees might do in stressful circumstances.
Some educators and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) psychologists feel that neither EQ nor IQ testing presents the full picture of a human being. There are other types of intelligence, according to critics, that may be just as important. As well, standardized testing may oversimplify emotional intelligence and response.
1．Some companies off ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er to test EQ for their employees because .
A．EQ is closely related to success in career
B．EQ is a measurement of their employees’ jobs
C．such services can improve the employees’ EQ
D．EQ measurement is becoming more and more popular
2．It can be inferred that IQ is nearly years older than EQ.
A．110 B．80 C．40 D．20
3．Scientists are unsatisfied with IQ measurement because .
A．it can’t measure the level of creative abilities
B．children with autism usually have a low score
C．it can’t measure the level of intelligence of disabled children
D．EQ measurement proves to be more accurate than IQ measurement
4．The underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed word “merely” in the 5th paragraph probably means .
A．entirely B．hardly C．only D．partly

Like most insects, butterflies are very nearsighted, so they are more attracted to a large stand of flowers rather than individual plants. Butterflies do not "see" colors such as red, green, and yellow, but sense polarized（偏振的） light, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light, which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to nectar （花蜜）sources.
Smell
Butterflies have a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very well-developed sense of smell, but it's not in their nose (since they don't have one). Sense receptors located in their antennae, feet, and many other parts of the body help butterflies find food (usually flower nectar), and mates (the female smells the male's pheromones).
Taste
Butterfly's feet ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve sense organs that can taste the sugar in nectar, letting the butterfly know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also taste host plants in order to find appropriate places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies and moths feed using a proboscis, a long, coiled tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.
Hearing
Butterflies don' ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t have ears. Instead they "hear" sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations.
Butterflies m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay possess senses we don't even know about yet because their anatomy is very different than ours, and therefore difficult to understand when perceived through our own human senses.

The founder of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Microsoft, who steps down from his post Friday, said he wants to make a “positive contribution” to the world. He has promised to transfer his money to the charity he has set up with his wife Melinda, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which funds health and education projects around the world.
He revealed(透露) his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )decision a week before he steps down as executive chairman of Microsoft, the firm he founded more than 30 years ago. The 52?year?old will continue to work as non executive chairman and will spend just one day a week at the business.
Speaking about t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he joint decision he made regarding his fortune with his wife, he said, “We’ve chosen not to pass it on to our children. We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact.” He said he did not want to leave it in his will for his children and added, “It’s like saying which children are most important.”
In an intervi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ew with BBC’s Newsnight, he said, “I want to make a positive contribution to the world.”
Bill Gates will st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ep down from his post Friday, 33 years after he founded Microsoft in 1975. His success with the computer giant has made him the richest man in the world for 13 years in a row according to Fortune magazine’s rich list.
When he founde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d the firm he said he wanted to put “a computer on every desk and in every home.” Many people have said that the computer revolution would not have happened without him and more than 90 percent of computers in the world run on Microsoft Windows.
He will be succeeded ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in his post by Steve Balmer, the co-chief executive since 2000. Although the move was announced two years ago and there has been lots of planning, many people speculate that Gates’ departure will leave a big gap in the firm.
Charlene Li, f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom Consultants Forrester Research, said, “What they’re going to lose is that founding focus, and the ability to rally the troops.”
Microsoft has a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n outstanding financial performance and currently has profit margins estimated at 30 percent. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation claims to be the biggest philanthropic organization in the world.

Are Societies Ageing Too Fast
An ageing society ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is one in which the population of people over the age of 60 is increasing．The global population at present is about 6 billion with 1 person in every 10 aged 60 or above．__71__．This will mean that for the first time in human history the population of older persons will be larger than the population of children! What are the causes of this population change
__72__．And anot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her is that birthrates have dropped as people, especially women, are educated．Measures to slow population growth like China’s one-child policy, have also contributed to lowered birthrates．The increase in the aged population is not just an interesting trend, however; it also has severe implications for the future of global economies．
People traditiona ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lly retire at 65 and live on government pensions．__73__．Another concern is that as medical expenses increase with age, the demands of the growing aged population will eventually cause medical systems to face bankruptcy（破产）．
__74__．They ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )suggest that because people are living longer, they ought to work longer, while governments need to establish a sound social security system．They also suggest that individuals start saving as soon as possible to ensure a financially secure retirement．People should also develop good health habits in their youth to ensure an active and productive old age．__75__．By finding cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, medical bills and the need for care would be drastically reduced．
Finally, an important ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) step to ensure a bright future for all is to do away with negative stereotypes that see valuable members of society only as pensioners or patients．It’s high time we stopped seeing ageing as a disease and started playing our parts in securing the future of our ageing societies．
Due to ageing problem, cities are facing more challenges．
Experts insist that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) steps should be taken now to prepare for the future．
As people grow older, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a huge financial burden will be placed on the government．
Biomedical research is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) another tool we can use to deal with the problems of ageing societies．
One reason is that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dramatic health advances have added 20 years to the average life-expectancy．
The United Nations projects that by 2050, it will be 1 in every 5．
As is known to all, good habits lead to good health．

Texting（ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )发信息）may be preferred over phone calling by many young people, but too much text messaging may increase the risk of neck or shoulder pain, a new study shows.
Judith Gold, an assistant professor of epidemiology（流行病）at Temple University’s College of Health Professions and Social Work, presented evidence at this year’s meeting of the American Public Health Association, saying that college students texted more, and they reported more pain in their necks and shoulders. She says in a news report that most people aged 18 to 21 prefer texting rather than email or phone calls. 71 “What we’ve seen so far is very similar to what we see with office workers who’ve spent most of their time at a computer,” Gold says. “The way the body is positioned for texting -- firmly fixed shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers -- is similar to the position for typing on a computer.”
“ 72 It’s the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )age group that texts the most, so it’s important to know what the health effects may be to learn whether it will cause long-term damage,” she says in a news report.
Gold and c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )olleagues conducted a study of 138 college students to see if relations exist between the number of text messages sent per day and pain in the upper body. They used body maps for the students to indicate areas of discomfort. 73 The number of text messages is so big that they were surprised at it.
The research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers say they found an association, only in male participants, between shoulder discomfort and the number of messages sent. 74
Why woul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d texting cause pain in the neck and shoulder rather than the wrists and arms “We were really surprised at this, too,” Gold tells WebMD. “Remember, this is just a beginning study. 75 ”
A. They find that males might be easily influenced by physical discomfort related to texting.
B. The students were asked how many text messages they sent per day.
C. That can possib ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly put the younger generation at increased risk for overuse injuries.
D. Further research needs to be done to confirm the results.
E. Texting has become a major form of communication.
F. Looking arou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd our campus, you can see many students on their cell phones, typing away.
G. This is true only in female participants.
PROOF READING 1
If there are much more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people in the world, there must have more food to feed the people. But food is already a problem in today world. One-third of the world's population is starving, because there is not enough food. Ten thousand people died of hunger every day in some parts of the world. But in others parts of the world, people become ill or die, because they eat too much food, and they are very fat. Some countries have no food, but the others have too much, and they throw them away. How can tomorrow's world feed its people The world needs produce more food than it does now.
PROOF READING 2
There are str ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ange similarities in the life of John F. Kennedy and the life Abraham Lincoln. For example, Kennedy became a president in 1960, while Lincoln elected in 1860.This was exactly one hundred years apart. Then both men were shot after, on a Friday and in the presence of their wife. There is another very strangely similarity. Kennedy's secretary, named Lincoln, told him to go to Dallas. Lincoln's secretary, named Kennedy, told him not to go to the Ford Theatre. But all of them went and both were shot to die.

CLOZE 1
It was a cold winter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance, 1 for the train to take me to my 2 in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves, 3 their steaming cups of coffee.
Reaching into my po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cket as the 4 was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 5 ! I searched through my bag and then I felt 6 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be 7 there.
“What’s the matter ” A short, elderly man stood before me.
“Oh, nothing…. Well, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 8 my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to 9 my math class, and the train is leaving.”
“Here, use this.”
The man held a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )$ 20 bill. I looked up, 10 . People just didn’t do that anymore. Everyone worried about their own 11 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers.
“Thank you, but no, I can’t.”
“ 12 it – go!” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )The man pushed me 13 the train. I bought a round – trip ticket, and he refused the change I 14 to give him back. I did not know what to say – a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood 15 .
For the train ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ride I was silent. I began to see the world through 16 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple 17 .
A week later I was at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the train station again, with an extra $ 20 18 I saw the man. And there he was.
“excuse me, sir, I be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lieve I owe you this.” I 19 the money into his hand.
Failing to refuse, he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes someday.” I smiled, content.
The elderly man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a 20 stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.

My dream was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to be a 4 . When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety – mile – per – hour fastball. I was also 5 : my high – school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 6 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular 7 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er and a friend recommended me for a summer 8 . This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 9 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 10 at it.
Then I realized I would have to 11 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was 12 about this.
When I told Coach ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Jarvis, he was as 13 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your 14 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”
I stood before him with my head 15 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 16 his disappointment in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job ” he demanded.
“$ 3.25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a 17 ” he asked.
That 18 laid bare ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to 19 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the 20 of my dreams.

A Charlotte, N.C., man was charged with first-degree murder of a 79-year-old woman whom police said he scared to death. In an attempt to evade policemen after a bank robbery, the Associated Press reports that 20-year-old Larry Whitfield broke into the home of Mary Parnell. Police say he didn’t touch Parnell but that she died after suffering a heart attack that was caused by terror. Can the guy be held responsible for the woman’s death Prosecutors(公诉人) said that he can under the state’s murder rule, which allows someone to be charged with murder if he or she causes another person’s death while committing or fleeing from a severe crime like robbery—even if he or she doesn’t kill someone on purpose.
But, medically sp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eaking, can someone actually be frightened to death We asked Martin Samuels, chairman of the neurology department at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
Absolutely, no question about it.
The body has a na ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tural protective method called the fight-or-flight response(战或逃反应), which was originally described by Walter Cannon，the chairman of Harvard University’s physiology department from 1906 to 1942. If, in the wild, an animal is faced with a life-threatening situation, the autonomic nervous system responds by increasing heart rate, increasing blood flow to the muscles, and slowing digestion, among other things. All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast. This process certainly would be of help to primitive humans. However, in the modern world there is obvious decline of the fight-or-flight response.
The autonomic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nervous system uses the chemical messenger to send signals to various parts of the body to activate the fight-or-flight response. This chemical is toxic in large amounts; it damages the organs such as the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. It is believed that almost all sudden deaths are caused by damage to the heart. There is almost no other organ that would fail so fast as to cause sudden death. Kidney failure, liver failure, those things don’t kill you suddenly.
By the way, any ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )strong positive or negative emotions such as happiness or sadness can cause the same result. There are people who have died in intercourse or in religious passion. There was a case of a golfer who hit a hole in one, turned to his partner and said, “I can die now”, and then he dropped dead. For about seven days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon there was an increase of sudden cardiac death among New Yorkers.
1. Why the Charlotte, N.C., man was charged
A. Because he threatened the policemen to kill an old woman.
B. Because he caused an old woman’s terror and she died.
C. Because he beat an old woman and caused her heart attack
D. Because he murdered an old woman while robbing a bank.
2. What is Martin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Samuels’ attitude to the possibility of being frightened to death
A. Approval. B. Disapproval. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
3. Which of the following about the fight-or-flight response is true
A. The fight-or-f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )light response was raised and proved by Martin A. Samuels.
B. It is a natural ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) protective method that can’t be found in all creatures but humans.
C. The ancient hu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mans had a superior fight-or-flight response than modern ones.
D. The fight ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )-or-flight response is beneficial to both our actions and organs.
4. What activity can we infer is less likely to damage the organs
A. Winning a big lottery. B. Missing a dead family.
C. Watching a horror movie. D. Listening to a sweet song.
5. The purpose of the passage is_________.
A. to explain why people will die of a heart attack
B. to offer some advice on protecting us from heart failure
C. to compare different kinds of feelings to cause a death
D. to show strong emotions can cause a sudden death

Shyness May Be Partly Inherited
About 92 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) million Americans are shy, and according to recent research about half of them inherited the trait.
The studies ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) were discussed at the American Psychological Convention.
One study, b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y Harvard University, was of babies 21- 48 months old. It concluded that these babies had a high heart rate when shown unfamiliar people or different toys.
Although shyn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ess is not new, it has only recently become of interest to researchers. The first study on the genetic connection was in 1979.
According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Warren Jones of the University of Tulsa, social relations these days are more complex. "With less ritual(仪式) and more complex situations," he said, "shyness is a national concern."
Not all shy pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople are anxious and fearful, according to another study. Evidence shows that only half of shy people are tense, worried, and fearful in social situations.
Many men us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e shyness as an excuse for failing in social situations, according to C.R. Snyder of the University of Kansas. "This is not true of females. Perhaps, American men are pressured to be assertive(自信的) and successful. So they would rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent."
Shy peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple may do very well socially after the first meeting with someone. In fact, shy people tend to be more stable.
The psychologis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts said shyness seems to be cultural. Japan has the highest rating. China and Israel have the lowest rating. The United States rated in the middle.
1. The word "trait" in the first paragraph means ______
A. way B. tradition C. character D. possession
2. Those babies ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )studied were ______ when they saw unfamiliar people or different
toys.
A. tense or fearful B. calm C. as usual D. stable
3. Which of the following statements is Wrong
A. Researchers began to study shyness when it was known to them.
B. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to Warren Jones, shyness had something to do with social relations
C. Some shy people are anxious and fearful, some not.
D. Shyness can perhaps make people do very well socially.
4. Why would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) American men rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent
Because ______.
A. shyness is usually used as an excuse by them.
B. shyness is a good excuse.
C. females don't use shyness as an excuse.
D. they are under the pressure of social situations.
5.We can learn from this passage that ______
A. shyness is naturally inherited
B. shy people have virtues as well as shortcomings.
C. females don’t use shyness as an excuse
D. which country has shy people.

Emotional quot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ient (EQ) is one of the ways to measure a person’s ability to be successful in life. The phrase was first developed in the 1980s and asserts that emotional quotient or emotional intelligence is as valuable as intellectual quotient (IQ).
According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )heories of brain function, a high emotional quotient means someone is self-confident, self-aware, and able to navigate through trying emotional times. EQ is often tied directly to the degree of success one may have in the workplace and in personal relationships. Some companies offer services to test the emotional quotient of employees.
Intelligence quo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tient measuring has existed for much longer than EQ measuring. Alfred Binet developed the first modern IQ test in the early 20th century. Currently an IQ test involves a set of standardized questions. While the IQ can help us with thinking, many feel it is not enough in measuring creative abilities or emotional abilities. In fact, some with high IQ do not seem to be good at maintaining(维持) relationships.
For example IQ meas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urements on most children with autism(孤独症) are typically very high, yet it is well known that these children have trouble in communicating with others.
Now intelligenc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e quotient testing is now not administered very frequently, since some feel it merely measures how well people do on IQ tests. Emotional quotient testing is becoming more popular in the workplace since some employers feel it will help predict how well potential employees might do in stressful circumstances.
Some educators and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) psychologists feel that neither EQ nor IQ testing presents the full picture of a human being. There are other types of intelligence, according to critics, that may be just as important. As well, standardized testing may oversimplify emotional intelligence and response.
1．Some companies off ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er to test EQ for their employees because .
A．EQ is closely related to success in career
B．EQ is a measurement of their employees’ jobs
C．such services can improve the employees’ EQ
D．EQ measurement is becoming more and more popular
2．It can be inferred that IQ is nearly years older than EQ.
A．110 B．80 C．40 D．20
3．Scientists are unsatisfied with IQ measurement because .
A．it can’t measure the level of creative abilities
B．children with autism usually have a low score
C．it can’t measure the level of intelligence of disabled children
D．EQ measurement proves to be more accurate than IQ measurement
4．The underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed word “merely” in the 5th paragraph probably means .
A．entirely B．hardly C．only D．partly

Adult butter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )flies use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in an appropriate place, migrate, and avoid hungry predators.
Sight
Butterflies have lar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ge, compound (multifaceted) eyes, which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very nearsighted, so they are more attracted to a large stand of flowers rather than individual plants. Butterflies do not "see" colors such as red, green, and yellow, but sense polarized（偏振的） light, which indicates the direction the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light, which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to nectar （花蜜）sources.
Smell
Butterflies have a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )very well-developed sense of smell, but it's not in their nose (since they don't have one). Sense receptors located in their antennae, feet, and many other parts of the body help butterflies find food (usually flower nectar), and mates (the female smells the male's pheromones).
Taste
Butterfly's feet ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve sense organs that can taste the sugar in nectar, letting the butterfly know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also taste host plants in order to find appropriate places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies and moths feed using a proboscis, a long, coiled tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.
Hearing
Butterflies don' ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t have ears. Instead they "hear" sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations.
Butterflies m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay possess senses we don't even know about yet because their anatomy is very different than ours, and therefore difficult to understand when perceived through our own human senses.
1. From the passage we can know that butterflies can see_____.
A. thing behind them B. thing in the distance
C. most bright ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )colors D. flower nectar from a distance
2. Butterflies can easily find food resources by using their______.
A. sense organ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of sight and smell B. sense organs of sight and taste
C. sense organs of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )smell and hearing D. sense organs of smell and taste
3. How do butterflies feed themselves
A. by using their feet B. by using a tube.
C. by using sense receptors D. by using their wings.
4. What is the passage mainly about
A. The food sources ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of butterflies. B. The habits of butterflies.
C. The unu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sual body of butterflies. D. the sense of butterflies.

The founder of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Microsoft, who steps down from his post Friday, said he wants to make a “positive contribution” to the world. He has promised to transfer his money to the charity he has set up with his wife Melinda, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which funds health and education projects around the world.
He revealed(透露) his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )decision a week before he steps down as executive chairman of Microsoft, the firm he founded more than 30 years ago. The 52?year?old will continue to work as non executive chairman and will spend just one day a week at the business.
Speaking about t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he joint decision he made regarding his fortune with his wife, he said, “We’ve chosen not to pass it on to our children. We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact.” He said he did not want to leave it in his will for his children and added, “It’s like saying which children are most important.”
In an intervi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ew with BBC’s Newsnight, he said, “I want to make a positive contribution to the world.”
Bill Gates will st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ep down from his post Friday, 33 years after he founded Microsoft in 1975. His success with the computer giant has made him the richest man in the world for 13 years in a row according to Fortune magazine’s rich list.
When he founde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d the firm he said he wanted to put “a computer on every desk and in every home.” Many people have said that the computer revolution would not have happened without him and more than 90 percent of computers in the world run on Microsoft Windows.
He will be succeeded ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in his post by Steve Balmer, the co-chief executive since 2000. Although the move was announced two years ago and there has been lots of planning, many people speculate that Gates’ departure will leave a big gap in the firm.
Charlene Li, f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom Consultants Forrester Research, said, “What they’re going to lose is that founding focus, and the ability to rally the troops.”
Microsoft has a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n outstanding financial performance and currently has profit margins estimated at 30 percent. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation claims to be the biggest philanthropic organization in the world.

Are Societies Ageing Too Fast
An ageing society ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is one in which the population of people over the age of 60 is increasing．The global population at present is about 6 billion with 1 person in every 10 aged 60 or above．__71__．This will mean that for the first time in human history the population of older persons will be larger than the population of children! What are the causes of this population change
__72__．And anot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her is that birthrates have dropped as people, especially women, are educated．Measures to slow population growth like China’s one-child policy, have also contributed to lowered birthrates．The increase in the aged population is not just an interesting trend, however; it also has severe implications for the future of global economies．
People traditiona ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lly retire at 65 and live on government pensions．__73__．Another concern is that as medical expenses increase with age, the demands of the growing aged population will eventually cause medical systems to face bankruptcy（破产）．
__74__．They ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )suggest that because people are living longer, they ought to work longer, while governments need to establish a sound social security system．They also suggest that individuals start saving as soon as possible to ensure a financially secure retirement．People should also develop good health habits in their youth to ensure an active and productive old age．__75__．By finding cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, medical bills and the need for care would be drastically reduced．
Finally, an important ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) step to ensure a bright future for all is to do away with negative stereotypes that see valuable members of society only as pensioners or patients．It’s high time we stopped seeing ageing as a disease and started playing our parts in securing the future of our ageing societies．
Due to ageing problem, cities are facing more challenges．

Texting（ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )发信息）may be preferred over phone calling by many young people, but too much text messaging may increase the risk of neck or shoulder pain, a new study shows.
Judith Gold, an assistant professor of epidemiology（流行病）at Temple University’s College of Health Professions and Social Work, presented evidence at this year’s meeting of the American Public Health Association, saying that college students texted more, and they reported more pain in their necks and shoulders. She says in a news report that most people aged 18 to 21 prefer texting rather than email or phone calls. 71 “What we’ve seen so far is very similar to what we see with office workers who’ve spent most of their time at a computer,” Gold says. “The way the body is positioned for texting -- firmly fixed shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers -- is similar to the position for typing on a computer.”
“ 72 It’s the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )age group that texts the most, so it’s important to know what the health effects may be to learn whether it will cause long-term damage,” she says in a news report.
Gold and c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )olleagues conducted a study of 138 college students to see if relations exist between the number of text messages sent per day and pain in the upper body. They used body maps for the students to indicate areas of discomfort. 73 The number of text messages is so big that they were surprised at it.
The research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers say they found an association, only in male participants, between shoulder discomfort and the number of messages sent. 74
Why woul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d texting cause pain in the neck and shoulder rather than the wrists and arms “We were really surprised at this, too,” Gold tells WebMD. “Remember, this is just a beginning study. 75 ”
A. They find that males might be easily influenced by physical discomfort related to texting.
B. The students were asked how many text messages they sent per day.
C. That can possib ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly put the younger generation at increased risk for overuse injuries.
D. Further research needs to be done to confirm the results.
E. Texting has become a major form of communication.
F. Looking arou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd our campus, you can see many students on their cell phones, typing away.
G. This is true only in female participants.

If there are much more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people in the world, there must have more food to feed the people. But food is already a problem in today world. One-third of the world's population is starving, because there is not enough food. Ten thousand people died of hunger every day in some parts of the world. But in others parts of the world, people become ill or die, because they eat too much food, and they are very fat. Some countries have no food, but the others have too much, and they throw them away. How can tomorrow's world feed its people The world needs produce more food than it does now.

There are str ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ange similarities in the life of John F. Kennedy and the life Abraham Lincoln. For example, Kennedy became a president in 1960, while Lincoln elected in 1860.This was exactly one hundred years apart. Then both men were shot after, on a Friday and in the presence of their wife. There is another very strangely similarity. Kennedy's secretary, named Lincoln, told him to go to Dallas. Lincoln's secretary, named Kennedy, told him not to go to the Ford Theatre. But all of them went and both were shot to die.
