London-coffee protects mice from radiation and could get the same way in humans, according to Indian scientists.
Scientists at India's Bhabha Atomic Research Center discovered that mice injected with caffeine (咖啡因)remained alive after high doses(剂量) of normally lethal radiation. Although the study was limited to animals, Kachadilli George, head of the research team, believes the findings could have implications (something suggested) for humans.
"It does suggest that coffee might have some beneficial effects in protecting against radiation, "he told New Scientist magazine late last month. George and his team injected 471 mice with caffeine and left them uncovered to 7.5 grays of gamma radiation(伽玛线), enough to kill most mice. But 25 days later 70 percent of the mice that had received 80 milligrams(毫克) of caffeine per kilogram of body weight were still alive.
On the contrary, all 196 mice that had been left uncovered to the same radiation but had not been given any caffeine died.
60. George and his team drew the conclusion from______
A. the magazine B . their invention C. the experiment D. their experience
61. From the news, we know_______ can be protected from radiation.
A. both mice and humans B. only mice
C. only humans D. neither humans nor mice

Culture shock is something you cannot avoid when living in a foreign country. It does not seem like a very helpful experience when you are going through its four stages. However, when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it.
The first stage is called "the honeymoon". In this stage, you feel excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be wonderful. You like everything, and everybody seems to be so nice to you. Also, the new amusement of life seems as though it will have no ending.
However, the second stage of culture shock appears. This is the "hostility stage". You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was. You become tired of many things about the new culture. Moreover, people don't treat you like a guest any more. Everything wonderful at first is now awful and tiresome. Usually at this point in your adjustment to a new culture, you devise some defense mechanisms(机制) to help you cope and to protect yourself against the effects of culture shock..
The third stage is called "recovery'". In this stage, you start feeling more positive, and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand. You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages, and you adjust yourself to the new norms, values, and even beliefs and traditions of the new country. You begin to see that even though the culture is different from your 6wn, it has elements that you can learn to appreciate.
The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment". In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture. The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.
64. According to Paragraph 1, studying in a different country means______.
A. an opportunity of getting rich
B. meeting both advantages and challenges
C. you would have lots of desirable fun
D. discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom
65. In the "honeymoon" stage,_________.
A. you mainly experience the positive elements of life in a new culture
B. you are often invited by the local people to visit their own homes
C. you feel that daytime in a foreign country much longer
D. you have to face a lot of challenges of a new culture
66. When you are in the hostility stage, you try to feel better by
A. becoming tired of many things about the new culture
B. adjusting to the new culture
C. devising some defense mechanisms
D. noticing nothing is as good as it was originally thought
67. In the final stage of culture shock, you feel good about the new culture because
A. you have learned something from those elements you felt uncomfortable and strange
B. you understand what you didn't understand at first
C. you acquired enough language to help you to adjust
D. you recover from the symptoms of the first two stages of culture shock

When I was only 18 months old, I started gym classes. At ten, I explored doing gym off the diving board at the pool. At sixteen, I knew I had a shot at the 1976 Olympic Games. Though I won the silver medal for the ten-meter platform, I wasn't happy. In the 1984 Olympics,. I won two gold medals for the platform and springboard. This is an enjoyable success .

Four years later, while preparing for the 1988 Olympics in Soul, I learned my partner had AIDS. When my HIV test results returned positive, I was shocked and confused.

Suddenly the crowd cheered, and I knew I'd won—two gold medals, one for the three-meter springboard, one for the ten—meter platform. None knew how hard it had been, except Ron and the friends I had told I was HIV-positive.

T-shirts, so-called because when you lay them out they look like the letter T, are such a universal item of clothing that it is surprising to realize that no one wore them except as underwear until the second half of the 20th century.
American soldiers serving in Europe in the 1914 ~1918 War were equipped with heavy wool uniforms, which were excessively hot during the humid summers. They noticed the French colleagues wore lightweight cotton shirts when the weather was hot. The nickname "T-shirt" for this useful piece of clothing quickly caught on - by the 1920s, it was already in Webster's Dictionary of American English. By the time of the 1939—1945 war, it had become standard tissue clothing for USA soldiers.
Originally, it was regarded as an undershirt, and was never worn as" outerwear". However, the performances of two changing Hollywood movie stars, Marion Brando and James Dean, changed all this. The two actors are usually credited with making the T-shirt a stylish and desirable piece of clothing. Very soon, it was an indispensable fashion item for American young men .
The popularity of T-shirts rocketed during the 1970s, when rock and roll bands realized that they could make significant amounts of money selling their T-shirts. Professional sports teams also adopted the idea, and big companies began to produce T-shirts with their logo on the front and gave them away to their customers. Very soon, T-shirts carrying the brand names of international brands became commonplace.
72. Which of the following statements about T-shirts is true?
A. They originated in France in the early 1900s.
B. The original T-shirts were made of heavy wool.
C. All American soldiers wore them under their uniforms in the early 1900s.
D. They were worn only as underwear by men and women until the mid 20th century.
73. Who made the T-shirt a popular fashion shirt for men ？
A. French soldiers who wore them in the early 1900s.
B. Rock and roll bands.
C. Two American film stars from the 1950s.
D. Sports professionals.
74. The underlined word "indispensable" in the third paragraph means_______.
A. you can't buy it B. you can't throw it away
C. you must have it D. you must throw it away
75. What does the author mean by the expression" the popularity of T-shirts rocketed" in the fourth paragraph?
A. They were suddenly no longer popular.
B. They were suddenly very popular.
C. They gradually became more and more popular.
D. They were suddenly very expensive.
