    A quarrel at home may result in your falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
    Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.
    “We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
    Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
    We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.
    小题1: Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?
    A．Because her classmates often quarreled in class.
    B．Because her parents used to quarrel.
    C．Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
    D．Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
    小题2: According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
    B．Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
    C．Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.
    D．Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.
    小题3: The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________.
    A．surpriseB．faintC．tirednessD．sadness
    小题4:The best title for this passage is ________.
    A．Family relations.B．The reasons why we get sick.
    C．Family---- another cause to healthD．A research about health.

    小题1:C
    小题1:D
    小题1:B
    小题1:C

    小题1:细节题：从第二段的句子：Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.可知她晕倒是因为父母的关系不好。选C。
    小题1:细节题:从第四段的句子：Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.可知被忽略的孩子有可能会多的病。选 D
    小题1:细节题：从第二段的单词fainted (晕倒)可知这个单词是“晕倒”，选B
    小题1:主旨题：从第一段的主题句：it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health,可知答案是C。

    A friend and I were standing in line at the grocery store the other day, and I was telling her how lazy my children were．I had come in from work that morning, and like most times, my house was wrecked.

    “There are no fingerprints on my walls．There are no sounds of arguing, either．So you see, you are very lucky．I would give anything to be going through what you are now! How I’d love to be able to hold my kids, wipe away their tears and share their dreams! I wouldn’t care how my house looked．I would be happy just to have them.”

    I had my first job at a local diner called the Buttercup Bakery when I was 22. I worked there for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow waitress Helen who had incredible self-respect and did what she loved—serving people. She made everyone smile and feel good, customers and co-workers alike.
    Being a waitress changed my life. One of my regular customers was Fred Hasbrook, an electronics salesman. Thanks to the newfound confidence I picked up from Helen, I dreamed of having my own restaurant. But when I called my parents to ask for a loan, they said, “We just don’t have the money.”
    The next day, I shared my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody would just have faith in me.”
    He walked over to some of the other diner regulars and the next day handed me checks totaling $50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral（担保）on this loan is my trust in your honesty as a person. Good people with a dream should have the opportunity to make that dream come true.”
    I took the checks to Merrill Lynch—the first time I had ever entered a brokerage（经纪业）house—where the money was invested for me. I continued working at the Buttercup, making plans for the restaurant I would open. My investments soured, though, and I lost the money.
    After great deliberation（考虑） I decided to apply for a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was hired and ended up becoming a pretty good broker. Eventually I paid back Fred and my customers the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm.
    I got a thank-you note from Fred, which will be imprinted on my head forever. He had been sick and wrote that my check had helped cover his mounting medical bills. His letter read, “That loan may have been one of the best investments that I will ever make.”
    小题1: According to the passage, the author thought ______.
    A．Helen was full of complaint about her work
    B．it was easy for Helen to make everyone happy and comfortable

    Violin prodigies（神童）, I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists, the reason for this phenomenon. “It’s very clear, “he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.
    Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field and is able to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, “children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well.” The Koreans and Chinese, as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.
    That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.
    小题1:Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ______.   
    A．it would allow them access to a better life in the West
    B．Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent
    C．they wanted their children to enter into the professional fields
    D．it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country
    小题2: Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ______.
    A．enforce strong discipline on students who want to achieve excellence
    B．treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full development
    C．encourage people to compete with each other
    D．promise talented children high positions
    小题3:Japan is described in the passage as a country that attaches importance to ______.
    A．all-rounded developmentB．the learning of Western music
    C．strict training of childrenD．variety in academic studies
    小题4:Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?
    A．A natural gift.B．Extensive knowledge of music.
    C．Very early training.D．A prejudice-free society.
