    Each week, this program explains the many meanings of English expressions. Today’s expressions include a very important word—“heart”. We will try to “get to the heart of the matter” to better understand the most important thing about words and their stories. So “take heart.” Have no fear about learning new expressions. Besides, popular English words can be fun. There is no need for a “heavy heart.” Such feelings of sadness would only “break my heart,” or make me feel unhappy and hopeless.

    Now, let us suppose you and I were speaking freely about something private. We would be having a “heart to heart” discussion. I might speak from “the bottom of my heart, ” or say things honestly and truthfully. I might even “open up my heart” to you and tell you a secret. I would speak with “all my heart”.

    When a person shares her feelings freely and openly like this, you might say she “wears her heart on her sleeve”. Her emotions are not protected.

    If we had an honest discussion, both of us would know that the other person’s “heart is in the right place.” For example, I would know that you are a “kind-hearted” and well-meaning person. And, if you are a very good person, I would even say that you have “a heart of gold.” However, you might have a “change of heart” based on what I tell you. Our discussion might cause you to change the way you feel about something.

    But, let us suppose you get angry over what I tell you. Or worse, you feel no sympathy or understanding for me or my situation. If this happens, I might think that you have a “heart of stone.” And, if you say something to make me frightened or worried, my “heart might stand still”.

    64.If you are not so happy, you may feel that ________.

    A. you “have a heart of stone”      B. you have to “take heart”

    C. you “break you heart”       D. you “speak from the bottom of the heart”

    65.From the above passage we may see ________.

    A. English words can all be used differently

    B. some phrases do not have a fixed meaning

    C. languages change with the time

    D. the same word may have various meanings

    66.What is the passage trying to impress the readers?

    A. To explain how “heart” is used in phrases.

    B. To show the author’s perfect English.

    C. To tell English learners to learn English in phrases.

    D. To advertise an English course.

    67.Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?

    A. A change of heart                         B. Open up the heart of “heart”

    C. Never let your heart stand still          D. Wear your heart on your sleeve

    　　Living in the wild can be hard．Finding food and staying safe aren't easy．Each day, animals struggle to survive in their habitats．Not all animals get by on their own．Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals．These pairings are called symbiotic(共生的)relationships．

    　　In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other．One animal helps the other meet its needs．Sounds good, right?Not always．Some animals are not very kind to their partners．In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner．Take ticks, for example．These insects suck blood to live．To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals．Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts．

    　　In other relationships, animals don't treat their partners so poorly．Both animals benefit from living with the other animal．

    　　Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs．As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish．They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station．A fish stops by．Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fish's mouth．The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fish's body．That can include dead skin, tiny pieces of food, and wee creatures that can hurt the fish．The fish gets a nice cleaning．The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash．

    　　Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business．They have big customers－crocodiles．Crocs have long snouts(鼻子)filled with sharp teeth．Cleaning them is tricky．When a croc opens its mouth, the plover hops right in．The croc does not snap its snout shut．Instead, it lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to the crocodile's teeth．The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth．

    阅读理解

    　　When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right．” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”

    　　Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life．Because almost everything－all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure－these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important．Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose．

    　　About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer．It clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas．The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months．

    　　I lived with that diagnosis all day．Later the doctor got a few cells from the tumor．I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery．I had the surgery and I'm fine now．

    　　No one wants to die．Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there．And yet death is the destination we all share, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life．It clears out the old to make way for the new．Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．Your is living with the results of other people’s thinking．Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice．And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition．They somehow already know what you truly want to become．Everything else is secondary．

    　　When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation．On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kin d you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you wee so adventurous．Beneath it were the words：“Stay Hungry．Stay Foolish．” I have always wished that for myself．And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you．Stay Hungry．Stay Foolish．

    (1)

    Reminding himself that he’ll be dead soon

    C．

    The author was diagnosed with cancer

    D．

    The Whole Earth Catalog

    (2)

    Why did the doctor start crying when they viewed the cells under a microscope?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because the author is somebody．

    B．

    Because the author’s illness is incurable．

    C．

    Because the cancer can be cured with surgery．

    D．

    Because it turned out to be a very rare from of pancreatic cancer．

    (3)

    PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION（30 points）
    Directions: Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．
    Next time you find yourself drenched (湿透) in an unexpected heavy rain, look on the bright side – it will be a memorable experience. While wet weather may make us feel gloomy, it sharpens the memory and improves our recall. But those who feel in a good mood because it’s a sunny day are able to remember less well, according to memory tests carried by Australian researchers.
    Professor Joe Forgas, who led the research, said: “It seems strange but a little bit of sadness is a good thing. People performed much better on our memory test when the weather was unpleasant and they wee in a slightly negative mood. On bright sunny days, when they were more likely to be happy, the flunked it.”
    The tests were carried out on shoppers at a store in Sydney, where researchers randomly placed ten small objects on the check – out counter. On rainy days, sad music was played in the store. When it was bright and sunny, customers heard cheery music. This was done to further influence them towards negative or positive moods. After shopping, customers were asked how many of the objects they could remember. Their scores were three times higher when the weather was had and they were feeling angry, compared with those tested on sunny days. The results were published in Journal of Experimental Psychology. A report on the findings said: “They point to a growing body of evidence that the way people think, the quality of their judgments and the accuracy of their memory are all significantly influenced by positive and negative moods.”
    Professor Forgas said, “We found that weather – inducted negative mood improved memory accuracy. Shoppers in a negative mood showed better memory and higher discrimination ability.”
    A worse mood helped to focus people’s attention on their surroundings and led to a more thorough and careful thinking style, while happiness increased confidence and forgetfulness.
    Being happy tends to promote a thinking style that is less focused on our surroundings. In a positive mood we are less likely to make more snap (匆忙的) judgments about people we meet. Mild negative mood, in turn, tends to increase attention to our surroundings and produce a more careful, thorough thinking style.
    Accurately remembering everyday scenes is a difficult task, yet such memories can be on importance in everyday life. Surprisingly, the influence of mood states on the accuracy of real-life memories is still poorly understood.
    56．What’s the major function of Paragraph 1?
    A．To attract readers’ interest.     
    B．To introduce the theme of the whole passage.
    C．To generalize the whole passage.   
    D．To describe a memorable experience.
    57．The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph2 may mean “       ”.
    A．conducted B．failed       C．passed      D．understood
    58．In the research, researchers play different music to         .
    A．make customers become sadder or happier
    B．help customers choose what they want
    C．promote customers to buy more goods
    D．get customers to make a quick choice
    59．According to Joe Forgas, on sunny days, people         .
    A．will make careful judgments on others
    B．tend to pay more attention to their surroundings
    C．will have more confidence
    D．will have a better recall
    60．What can we know from the research?
    A．Forgetfulness is rather troublesome.
    B．It’s important to feel in a good mood.
    C．It’s memorable to experience a rainy day.
    D．Gloomy days are good for memorizing things.
