17.Goodbye to teeth
This all started a few months ago,when I had a dull pain in the back of my mouth,around where one of my wisdom teeth was supposed to be coming in.I thought it was a pain that I could live with for a while.
However,during the next few weeks,the pain became more intense,spreading to my teeth,gums and jaw.I was told I had seven wisdom teeth.
Yes,you read that correctly,seven-three more than a normal person.My first reaction when
I heard was to laugh.It's just my luck.My mouth wanted to do more work than it had to.
Focusing on the positive,one of the great things about having extra teeth is watching people's reactions when they find out.So far,I haven't grown tired of repeating myself.
The extra teeth are also a good excuse for me being tongue-tied.I can now blame it on my overcrowded mouth rather than my slow brain.
Of course,with wisdom teeth come the intellect jokes.My parents say my intelligence comes from my extra teeth and not my hard work.My friends agree that once the teeth are pulled,my brain will be that of a 5-year-old.
I've also thought about how I might profit from this.If only I still believed in the tooth fairy,I could make a lot of cash.Maybe I could sell my extras to someone in need.Advertisement:Seven teeth for sale,unused,in almost perfect condition.
Don't be fooled by my jokes.I am worried about having surgery.I'm also going to be sad to see the Lucky Seven go.I've developed quite an attachment to them over the past two days.Once they're removed,I'll just be normal again,and who wants that?

A.found it quite funny
B.dealt with the pain calmly

C.make fun of the author in a light-hearted way
D.let the author know why she is often tongue-tied
26.When the author came up with the idea of tooth fairy,sheD.
A.believed that her wisdom teeth would grow back
B.thought she could rely on it to make a living
C.had already made up her mind to make money
D.was deeply aware that the idea couldn't become reality
27.What's the article mainly about?B
A.People's different reactions to the author's wisdom teeth
B.How the author has gotten on with her extra wisdom teeth
C.The author's ideas for making use of her wisdom teeth
D.How the author has decided to remove her wisdom teeth.

5.People believe that climbing can do good to health.Where can you learn the skills of climbing then?If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb,you're wrong.Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms (体育馆).Here,people are learning on special climbing walls.The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
    How do people climb the wall?To climb,you need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you.There are ropes (绳索) tied to your harness.The ropes hold you in place so that you don't fall.A beginner's wall is usually about 15 feet high,and you climb straight up.There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to.Sometimes it's easy to see the next piece of metal.Sometimes,it's not.The most difficult part is to control your fear.It's normal for humans to be afraid of falling,so it's difficult not to feel fear.But when you move away from the wall,the harness and the ropes hold you,and you begin to feel safe.You move slowly until you reach the top.
    Climbing attracts people because it's good exercise for almost everyone.You use your whole body,especially your arms and legs.This sport gives your body a complete workout.When you climb,both your mind and your body can become stronger.

12.Turning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight,according to scientists.The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories.It also triggers (引发) a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad.
An experiment by the University of Konstanz,in Germany,found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full,compared to those who could see.They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate.Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88percent more than they actually had.
Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.
In the experiment,50 people were blindfolded and 40were allowed to see their food.All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment.They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15minutes.Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed,while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.
On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g.However,the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers.They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see.
"The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group.Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite.Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience."
Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste.While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses,in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.
63.With the lights out,diners eat less partly becauseD.
A.they want to quickly finish their meals
B.they trust their feelings more than ever
C.they focus more on fun than the calories
D.they worry about the quality of the food
64.We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded groupB.
A.spent a much longer time eating the same food
B.believed they ate more than they really did
C.depended on past experiences to feel full
D.thought the food tasted better than usual
65.The last two paragraphs tell us thatA.
A.diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darkness
B.senses rather than sight play an important role in the taste
C.findings of this experiment differ from the previous studies
D.restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark
66.The main purpose of the passage is toC.
A.provide statistics related to eating in the dark
B.offer reasons for people to eat in the dark areas
C.inform the readers of the result of an experiment
D.persuade the readers to lose weight in a new way.

2.A new study has discovered that meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce  depression(抑郁).The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination done twice a week for only two months,reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40percent
"We are excited by the findings Because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students,"said lead author Dr.Brandon Alderman."It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression."
Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in  combating depression.Alderman and Dr.Traeey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training (MAP)enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.
Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30minutes of oxygen sport.They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing,enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.
Shors,who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus-part of the brain involved in memory and learning-says scientists have shown in animal mode1s that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.
The idea for the human intervention(干预)came from her laboratory studies,studies,she says,the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover  from stressful life events.
By learning to focus their attention and exercise,people who are fighting depression can  acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past,Shors says.
"We know these treatments,can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effective in improving mental health."said Alderman."The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone time any time and at no cost."

32.What made the research so different?B
A.Adopting a way of meaningful talk.
B.Combining the two ways to treat depression.
C.Treating depression with special medicine.
D.Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.
33.The underlined word"combating"in Paragraph 3can be replaced byA.
A.fighting         B.identifying    
C.distinguishing   D.examining
34.What did the participants do in the research?B
A.They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.
B.They through quietly and then took exercise.
C.They took exercise longer than they thought.
D.They took exercise while thinking quietly.
35.What is Shors'main purpose of her studies?C
A.To find our certain brain cells of humans.
B.To study the production of new brain cells.
A.To offer people a new methord to treat stress.
A.To decide the links between stress and exercise.
