    “Love your neighbor as yourself" is a saying familiar to most of us. It means that you must have he ability to love and accept yourself in order to form and keep satisfying relationship with others self-esteem means accepting yourself for who you really are, and believing that you are indeed a ivdrthwhile person who is deserving of love and respect from others.
    Self-esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselves. It is based on our judgment of urselves, not on other people's assessment, but simply on our own. Our self-esteem is not efaendent on our talent. Some very ordinary people feel very good about themselves, while other extranordinarily high achievers hold low opintions of themselves.
    Self-esteem is the primary key to long-term stress managerment. Why? The first three sourees of stress are: predictable life event, unexpected changes and build-up of daily stresscs, These are much easier to handle when we believe in ourselves, A postive, healthy self-estcem gives us the “hardiness”(强健) to deal with the difficulities of life, and to see them as challenges to be met, rather than threals to be feared.
    The forth category of streesons is entirely the result of a low self-esteem. It is the category of stress that is most common and tiring over the long run. This kind of stress cannol be overcome, or evenchanged, until the self-exteem problems that cause it are corrected.
    Learning to love yourself for who y ou are is the key to overcoming stress. Self-esteem comes form the self, and cannot be promoted by others. A person who fecls that his self-estecm comes from the approval of those around him or her is bound to self-destruct(自毁), One cannot keep the level of “performance” required to please everyone else, especially if that performance disagrees with who you are and is simply a facade that makes you popular with the world. When the applause is gone, there is nothing left.
    Only those who can feel the strength of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about that will survive the stresses of life. Sef-esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living.
    58． What is self-csteem?
    A．A kind of positive lifestyle.
    B．The impression we have on other people.
    C．Our sense of how good we feel about ourselves.

    Recently the World Health Organization announced that the disease of smallpox（天花）had almost been wiped out in most parts of the world, thanks to widespread vaccination（种牛痘）. Most people are vaccinated at least once in their lives and if they wish to travel from one country to another they must be able to prove that they have had a recent vaccination. In this way the disease has been prevented from spreading and today one seldom hears of it at all.
    This is mainly because of the great discovery made by a village doctor, Edward Jenner, in about 1798 when he published his report of his new experiment called vaccination (from the word ‘vacca’ meaning a cow). Jenner discovered that people who worked with cattle often suffered from a harmless disease which they caught from the cattle, but these people never seemed to get smallpox. So he experimented by putting the disease into a small opening on the arms of healthy people, and though their arms became painful for a day or two, they soon recovered and none of these people ever got smallpox.
    So the news of the wonderful discovery spread to other countries and people
    rushed to their doctors to be vaccinated. In many countries the simple way to deal with the arm was done on thousands of people, and the terrible smallpox began to disappear.
    71．Vaccination against smallpox has been so successful that _________ .
    A．the discoverer made a large amount of money
    B．Dr Jenner was given a prize by the World Health Organization
    C．smallpox has almost disappeared in most countries
    D．smallpox was no longer in existence on earth
    72 ．Smallpox has been prevented from spreading through the following measures EXCEPT that _____.
    A．most people were vaccinated against the disease at least once
    B．people going abroad should promise not to spread the disease
    C．people travelling from one country to another must prove they
    are vaccinated
    D．people must be vaccinated shortly before going to foreign countries
    73 ．What led Dr Jenner to experiment with vaccination was that ________ .　
    A．he wanted to make a great discovery and publish it
    B．vaccination could make people's arms safe
    C．he tried to cure the farmers of some disease caught from the cattle
    D．those who worked with cattle seemed free from getting smallpox
    74．The doctor's new discovery was called ‘vaccination’ for the reason that ________ .
    A．he discovered smallpox near a farm
    B．he experimented with a disease from the cattle
    C．he was working with cattle in the countryside
    D．people got the disease of smallpox from the cattle
    75．The news of the discovery ________.
    A．caught people's attention from all corners of the world
    B．spread far and near in the western countries
    C．made people rush to Dr Jenner for vaccination
    D．helped to get rid of the terrible disease of smallpox

    Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle's husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
    Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few
    belongings and without so much as a note or a good--bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing
    from home--the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others
    rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a
    different identity.
    To those left behind, this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
    Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well
    planned rather than impulsive. "It's typical of the kind of personality which seems
    able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself,is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty,upset and empty."
    51. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle________.
    A. could not forgive him for taking the children
    B. had been expecting it to happen for some time
    C. could not understand why
    D. blamed herself for what had happened
    52. Most people who leave their families behind them___________.
    A. do so without warning
    B. do so because of their debts
    C. come back immediately
    D. change their names
    53. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse
    Because_________.
    A. their spouse would feel no pain during the death
    B. their spouse death would not blow their pride and confidence
    C. a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure
    D. their spouse death would make them feel less painful
    54. Which might be the best tire of the passage?
    A. Broken Marriage      B. New life after Desertion
    C. A New Social Problem  D. Desertion and its Influence
    55. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A. Many people choose to leave home quietly because they hate their family.
    B. Paul Brown regards leaving home as an act of selfishness.
    C. Those who are left behind will lose confidence and won't marry again.
    D. Eileen's husband, together with his four kids, were probably killed in an accident.

    B
    All of us eat every day, but most of us don’t understand nutrition. We often make mistakes in talking about good diet.
    For example, many people think that foods such as rice, bread and potatoes will make one grow fat. In fact, these foods are very good to one’s health. They are good sources of many vitamins. And in comparison with steak and beef, they contain less amount of calories.
    Some people don’t like canned(罐装的) or frozen vegetables, because they think fresh vegetables cooked at home are always better. This is again wrong. In fact, whether the vegetables are good or not depends more on how they are prepared. Overcooking, for example, destroys good qualities of vegetables. Vegetables cooked in too much water can use a large amount of vitamins.
    It is widely believed extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn’t make it function better.
    It is also wrong to say that vegetables grown in poor, worn-out soil are lower in vitamins than vegetables grown in rich soil. The vitamins in our foods are in the plants themselves. They don’t come from the soil. However, the minerals(矿物质) in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.
    In short, there are many false ideas about nutrition. We need to correct them.
    1. This passage is mainly about_______.
    A. nutrition           B. vitamins            C. vegetables         D. health
    2. Rice, bread and potatoes do good to people’s health mainly because_______.
    A. they make people fat                      B. there are lot of vitamins in them
    C. they contain less amount of calories compared with steak and beef.
    D. both B and C.
    3. Why don’t some people like canned or frozen vegetables? Because______.
    A. they think fresh vegetables contain less vitamins
    B. they think fresh vegetables contain more vitamins than the canned or frozen ones
    C. they don’t think the canned or frozen vegetables are fresh
    D. they don’t think the canned or frozen vegetables taste as good as the fresh ones
    4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. Many people know almost everything about nutrition.
    B. Food such as rice, bread and potatoes make people fat.
    C. vegetables grown in poor worn-out soil may have the same amount of vitamins as vegetables grown in rich soil.
    D. extra vitamins provide less energy.
    5. The point of the passage is that______.
    A. the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil
    B. people make mistakes when talking about good diet
    C. taking more vitamins than the body needs doesn’t make it function better
    D. vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large amount of vitamins

    From babies to body builders, we all have muscles. They grow, they bulge(鼓起), they stretch they stretch and sometimes they even painfully pull. But for all the work they do for us, we are still unable to crown one as "the strongest muscle."
    Instead, a few muscles could claim the title, depending on how strength is measured.
    If the title goes to the muscle that can exert(产生) the most force, the victor would be the soleus（小腿肚肌）, according to Gray's Anatomy（解剖学）. Without this muscle, we wouldn't be able to stand, walk, run or shake our bodies on the dance floor. If the soleus was not continuously pulling, we would always be falling over ourselves (although some of us tend to do that from time to time anyway).
    But perhaps the title should go to the muscle that exerts the most pressure. Pressure is different from force — pressure takes into account the area over which a force is exerted. The muscle that takes the prize for delivering the greatest amount of pressure is the masseter, or the jaw muscle, according to the book "Clinical Oral Science" (Reed Educational and Professional Publishing, 1998).
    In 1986, Richard Hofmann of Lake City, Fla., achieved a bite strength of 975 pounds (442 kilograms) for two seconds, setting a Guinness Record. Talk about jaw dropping! The jaw is able to clench（咬紧） and chew because of the masseter muscle.
    Others may argue the muscles used in childbirth are the most powerful.
    When it comes to versatility, perhaps the tongue is the strongest muscle. Its combination of elasticity（伸缩性） and forcefulness gives us the ability to speak, eat and kiss – all things very desirable on a first date. However dexterous（灵巧的） it may be though, its power does not match that of muscles such as the soleus.
    If slow and steady wins the race, the heart is certainly a contender for the title. When it contracts, the muscle pumps about 2 ounces (59 milliliters) of blood, and is constantly working over a lifetime. Beating about 40 million times a year, a person's heart will beat approximately 2.5 billion times by the time of their 70th birthday.
    小题1:According the passage, the underlined word “contender” in the last paragraph is closet in meaning to “          ”.
    A．failureB．partnerC．muscleD．competitor
    小题2:Which would be t he best title for the passage?
    A．What’s the strongest muscle in the human body?
    B．who is the strongest person in the world?
    C．What are the functions of different muscles?
    D．What are the standards of the strongest muscle?
    小题3:According to the passage,       .
    A．Without the soleus, we could still stand, walk, run or shake our bodies on the dance floor
    B．a few muscles could be the winners, according to different measures
    C．the muscles used in childbirth are the most powerful
    D．tongue is the strongest muscle for delivering the greatest amount of pressure
    小题4:What would be discussed in the following paragraph?
    A．Another possible strongest muscle.B．the conclusion of the strongest muscle.
    C．The functions of different muscles.D．the Guinness record of strongest muscle.

    We arrived at the hospital only to find Dad weak, but his smile was as sure as ever. My husband and I had to work, so our relatives would help him get home from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted Dad to know that we cared about him, too, even when we weren’t with him.
    Then I remembered a family tradition (传统) when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home, each child would write a love note for their grandparents to find after we were gone. They hid notes in the food box, or even in the fridge. For days their grandparents would smile as they discovered these notes of the children’s love.

Most notes were in his room downstairs where he would be able to find, but one note was hidden upstairs under his pillow. “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”
    My notes were a reminder (提醒的事物) of our love for Dad. Just like his medicines made him better physically (身体上), these would improve his mental (精神的) health. Several weeks later, I made a phone call to Dad and asked what he was doing. He said, “I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I am just reading the note you left under my pillow upstairs!”

    When the school year starts, it can be difficult to get up early．After a few early mornings, extreme tiredness might make you feel like you’re going to fall over．The amazing thing is that you probably manage to stay awake all day long and into the night．But how?
    A chemical in the brain called dopamine（多巴胺）might be part of the answer．According to new research, dopamine is what keeps people who don’t get enough sleep from conking out．The chemical also has a complicated influence on your ability to think and learn when you don’t get enough sleep．
    To study sleep loss and its effect on the brain, scientists rounded up 15 healthy volunteers．The scientists tested each person’s memory and ability to pay attention twice: once after a good night’s sleep and once after being kept up all night long．During the tests, the scientists measured levels of dopamine in the brains of the volunteers．
    The results showed that when the volunteers stayed up all night, dopamine levels increased in the brain．Higher levels of dopamine kept the volunteers awake even though they felt tired．Some people are amazingly able to think clearly and react quickly, even when they haven’t had much sleep．Other people have a really hard time paying attention when tired, and their reactions are slow．All of these may be related to the dopamine levels．However, the researchers found that higher levels of dopamine don’t remove the trouble people have thinking and learning while sleep-deprived （缺乏睡眠的）．
    60．The underlined phrase “conking out” in the second paragraph probably means     ．
    A．staying awake     B．falling asleep   
    C．paying attention         D．falling over

    A．will not dream dreams at night              B．may have trouble in falling asleep
    C．can still stay awake after staying up          D．can do better in learning and working
    62．We can infer from the last paragraph that        ．
    A．not all people can react quickly after they stay up late
    B．dopamine in our brain does not work when we are sleeping
    C．lack of sleep has no influence on one’s learning and thinking ability
    D．the higher the dopamine levels are, the more quickly one reacts
    63．The passage is developed by        ．
    A．setting up a point and discussing it
    B．giving examples and drawing a conclusion
    C．pointing out similarities and differences  
    D．showing a fact and explaining the cause

    Staying positive through the cold season could be your best defense against getting ill, new study findings suggest.
    In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a generally sunny character were less likely to fall ill. The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help to protect us from suffering the common cold and other illnesses.
    Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective — as in happiness improving immune function — and subjective — as in happy people being less troubled by a sore throat or runny nose. “People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,” explained lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may interpret their illness as being less severe.”
    Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional style itself had the effect.
    For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality characteristics, self-felt health and emotional style. Those who had a tendency to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy, tense and aggressive had a negative style.
    The researchers gave them nasal (鼻腔的) drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the volunteers reported on any aches, pains or sneezing they had, while the researchers collected objective data. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal troubles, happy people were less likely to develop a cold.
    小题1:Which is the best title for the passage? ______
    A．Stay Away from Being Negative
    B．Positive or Negative？It’s Up to You.
    C．Emotional Style and Flu.
    D．Optimistic People Likely to Keep Diseases Away.
    小题2: According to Dr Cohen’s research, the reason why some people are unlikely to catch a cold may be that ______.
    A．their cheerful mood benefits the immune system
    B．they have developed a certain way against flu virus
    C．they are less likely to have a sore throat and runny nose
    D．they have got a stronger self-confidence in their health
    小题3: The research is done by ______.
    A．getting volunteers in one emotional group and analyzing them
    B．conducting a medical experiment on volunteers of different emotional styles
    C．collecting and analyzing volunteers’ objective nasal production data
    D．having volunteers answer questions on personality, health and emotions

    Europeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.
    WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.
    Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples' health and said WHO's warnings were "hysterical." They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance — like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say.
    "Not all particles are created equal," said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, "In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful." And he said most Europeans' exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.
    Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. "The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there," he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was "over the top" and "a bit hysterical."
    1. The text is mainly about         .
    A. the effect of volcanic ash  
    B. the health risk of volcanic ash
    C. the disadvantages of volcanic ash
    D. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash
    2. Which one is true according to Paragraph3?
    A. The volcanic ash’s effects on Europeans were little.
    B. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.
    C. Other experts thought WTO’S warnings were useful.
    D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.
    3. The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph4 most probably means        .
    A. amazing          B. practical        C. valuable            D. overstated
    4. What can we learn from the passage?
    A. The volcanic ash wouldn’t be harmful to people.
    B. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.
    C. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.   
    D. Europeans should stay indoors because Iceland's volcano starts settling.
