    This is why Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo came back.
    The Chinese pair finally won the Olympic gold medal that eluded （避开） them for so many years Monday night, a prize so compelling it lured（诱使）them out of the cozy life of a happily retired married couple. It wasn’t the best skate of their career, but it was good enough for gold and that was all that mattered.
    Their score of 216. 57 points was more than three points ahead of teammates Pang Qing and Tong Jian. When Shen and Zhao finished their routine, Zhao knelt to the ice, burying his face in his hands while his wife patted his back. He pumped his fist several times while she smiled, her grin was so bright it could light up the entire arena（圆形运动场）.
    Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany dropped to the bronze medal after a flawed free skate.
    It’s the first time since 1960 that a Russian or Soviet couple isn’t atop the Olympic platform, ending one of the longest winning streaks in sports. Perhaps even more shocking, the Russians are leaving empty - handed, with no medals of any color.
    Shen and Zhao, bronze medalists at the last two Olympic Games, retired after winning their third title in 2007.  They got married, and lived the easy life of retirees, doing shows and appearances. But something was missing--that gold medal.
    1. Which statement is WRONG according to paragraph one?
    A. It was the Chinese pair who eventurelly won the Olympic gold medal.
    B. The Chinese pair performed the excellent skate of their career.
    C. The Chinese pair have been living a comfortable life.
    D. The Chinese pair don’t get along well with each other.
    2. From paragraph two and three, we can learn ________.
    A. Shen and Zhao’s efforts paid off at last
    B. Shen was so tired that she knelt to the ice
    C. Pang and Tong won the bronze medal
    D. The German pair ranked the second place
    3. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “grin” ?
    A. wide smile     B. happy laugh       C. excited feeling     D. happiness
    4. What can we know from the passage?
    A. The Soviet pair also got some medals in the Olympic.
    B. Shen and Zhao retired in 2007 and got married after they got their silver medal.
    C. It’s the gold medal that lures them back to the Olympic.
    D. The German pair always performed well during the competition.

    The first people who gave names to hurricanes were those who knew them best — the people of Puerto Rico. The small island of Puerto Rico is in the West Indies, off the coast of Florida. This is where all the hurricanes begin that strike the east coast of the United States. Often they pass near Puerto Rico or cross it on their way north. The people of Puerto Rico expect some of these unwelcome visitors every year. Each one is named after the Saint’s Day on which it arrives. Two of the most destructive storms were the Santo Ana in 1840 and the San Ciriaco in 1899.
    Giving girls’ names to hurricanes is a fairly new idea. It all began with a story called “Storm”, written by George Stewart in 1941. In it a weatherman amused himself by naming storms after girls he knew. He named one Maria. The story describes how she Maria grew and developed, and how she changed the lives of people when she struck the United States.
    Weathermen of the U.S. Army and Navy used the same system during World WarⅡ. They were studying weather conditions over the Pacific Ocean. One of their duties was to warn American ships and planes when a storm was coming. Whenever they spotted one, they gave it a girl’s name. The first one of the year was given a name beginning with [A]. The second one got a name beginning with [B]. They used all the letters from A to W, and still the storms kept coming. They had to use three lists from A to W to have enough names to go around. This was the first list of hurricane names that followed the alphabet. It served as a model for the system the Weather Bureau (局) introduced in 1942.
    Before 1950 the Weather Bureau had no special system for naming hurricanes. When a hurricane was born down in the West Indies, the Weather Bureau simply collected information about it. It reported how fast the storm was moving and where it would go next. Weather reports warned people in the path of the hurricane, so that they could do whatever was necessary to protect themselves.
    This system worked out fine as long as weather reports talked about only one hurricane at a time. But one week in September 1950 there were three hurricanes at the same time. The things began to get confused. Some people got the hurricanes mixed up and didn’t know which was which. This convinced the Weather Bureau that it needed a code for naming the storms in order to avoid confusion in the future.
    1．Hurricanes were first named after the _________.
    A. date on which they occurred                         
    B. place where they began
    C. amount of destruction they did                     
    D. particular feature they have
    2．The practice of giving girls’ names to hurricanes was started by _________.
    A. a radio operator        B. an author                  C. a sailor                     D. local people
    3．The purpose for which weathermen of the army and navy began using girls’ names for hurricanes was _________.
    A. to keep information from the enemy
    B. to follow the standard method of the United States
    C. not given in the article
    D. to remember a certain girl
    4．The Weather Bureau began naming hurricanes because it would help them _________.
    A. collect information more rapidly                  
    B. warn people more efficiently
    C. make use of military (军事的) records          
    D. remember them

    Babies born in summer are more likely to become short-sighted in late life, a study has shown.



    As many as a quarter of all cases of short-sightedness are caused by too great an exposure to sunlight in the first weeks of life, say eye experts.
    They are advising all parents to put sunglasses on their babies during the first weeks.
    Scientists had already established that over-exposure to sunlight caused short-sightedness in animals.
    Researchers who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on say the principle also applies to humans.
    A study of almost 300,000 young adults─the largest of its kind─showed that those born in June and July had a 25 per cent greater chance of becoming severely short-sighted than those born in December or January. Research leader Professor Michael Belkin, of Tel Aviv University, said it was because prolonged illumination(光照) causes the eyeball to lengthen, causing short-sightedness.
    Hence the more light a newborn is exposed to, the more the eyeball lengthens and the worse the short-sightedness will be.
    The mechanism which lengthens the eyeball is associated with levels of melatonin(褪黑激素), a pigment (色素) which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun.
    In young babies not enough melatonin is released as protection, meaning they are more vulnerable to sunburn and changes to eyeball shape.
    Sight expert Professor Daniel O’Leary, of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said “At the moment we don’t know the precise cause of why light exposure affects sight, but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming short-sighted.”
    55. Babies born in summer are more likely to be short-sighted ____________.
    A. because the summer sun is too strong for babies
    B. because babies born in summer have lengthened eyeballs
    C. if they are exposed to much sunlight in the first weeks after they are born
    D. if parents don’t know a proper way to protect their babies’ eyes
    56. Melatonin is a kind of material to ___________.
    A. prevent the eyes from becoming near-sighted
    B. protect the skin from harmful sun rays
    C. make our body strong
    D. protect babies’ eyes from summer sun
    57.   From what Professor Daniel O’Leary says we can conclude that ___________.
    A. there is no evidence that short-sightedness is related to exposure to sunlight
    B. whether light exposure affects sight still needs to be further proved
    C. he believes that light exposure can cause short-sightedness
