When I was a freshman in college I received a letter that forever opened a window in my soul. I had just started writing and the ____of my local county newspaper had been kind enough to ____ some of my work. About a month later the ____ arrived.

Here is what it said. “You may not ____ me. We last saw each other in kindergarten and my ____ moved the next year. We ____ get the county paper in the mail, though, and when I saw your name I had to write you. You see that first year in school was very ____for me. I was a tiny, ____, and ordinary-looking girl that the other children ____ me every day. The thing I remember about you is that you ____ did. When we ____to go out, the teacher always put me beside you and you would hold my hand as we ____ the street. You talked to me and played with me. You ____ me as a person, not someone different and I will be forever ____ for that. My whole life was ____ because of how you treated me all those years ago.”

I carefully wrote back to my kindergarten friend and we____ for several years____ the illness that she had ____ with since childhood finally took her life. I will never forget, however, just how much that simple kindness I had shared ____ to her.

Many people have bought insurance, either life or property (財(cái)產(chǎn)), commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function.

Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the shipowner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the pool of contributions as insurers.

The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay an amount of which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually happens.

The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.

1.The underlined phrase in Para. 2 most probably means __________.

A. money paid by the insurers

B. each premium

C. money paid by all those insured

D. the cost of administering insurance

2.Insurance premiums do not become too high because __________.

A. not many people insure themselves

B. premiums depend on the risk of losses

C. insurers have to be more competitive

D. insurance companies can never lose money

3.According to the passage, insurance business gains profit because __________.

A. more and more people buy insurance

B. the firms have sound management

C. the premium is increased year by year

D. only a few of those insured suffer losses

4.The purpose of the passage is to __________.

A. explain an insurance policy

B. introduce insurance business

C. persuade people to be insured

D. warn people of possible losses

A nerve-zapping（電擊神經(jīng)）headset caused people to get rid of fat in a small preliminary study. Six people who had received the stimulation（刺激）lost on average about 8 percent of the fat on their trunks in four months, scientists reported at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience,

The headset stimulated the vestibular nerve（前庭神經(jīng)）, which runs just behind the ears. That nerve sends signals to the hypothalamus, a brain structure thought to control the body’s fat storage. By stimulating the nerve with an electrical current, the technique shifts the body away from storing fat toward burning it.

Six overweight and obese people received the treatment, consisting of up to four one-hour-long sessions of stimulation a week. Because it activated the vestibular system, the stimulation created the sensation of gently rocking on a boat or floating in a pool, said the study’s co-author Jason McKeown of the University of California, San Diego.

After four months, body scans measured the trunk fat for the six people receiving the treatment and three people who received unreal stimulation. All six in the treatment group lost some trunk fat, despite not having changed their activity or diet. In contrast, those in the unreal group gained some fat. Researchers suspect that changes in the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within human cells are behind the difference. “The results were a lot better than we thought they’d be,” McKeown said.

Earlier studies found that vestibular nerve stimulation causes mice to drop fat and pack on muscle, resulting in what McKeown called Schwarzenegger mice. Though small, the current study suggests that the approach has promise in people. McKeown and his colleagues have started a company based on the technology and plan to test it further.

1.What is an electrical current used for?

A. Causing the body to bum its fat.

B. Controlling the body’s storage of fat.

C. Seeing if the headset will be affected.

D. Speeding the process of one’s digesting.

2.What’s the probable reason for the different results in participants?

A. The length of stimulation they received.

B. The type of stimulation they received.

C. The difference in their vestibular system.

D. The way chemicals process in their body.

3.Which is true about McKeown’s current findings?

A. They have a kind of practical value.

B. They go against those of earlier tests on mice.

C. They were widely recognized at the meeting.

D. They have been tested by MeKeown’s company.

4.What can be the best title of the text?

A. The science of zapping fat

B. A new trial of weight loss

C. Zapping certain nerves leads to fat loss

D. Exercise for weight loss and get fit

My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It's funny now but it wasn't at the time.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop － that was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I went back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, with dark glasses and worn clothes, and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he'd started to eat my chocolate!

Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble － and really I was rather uneasy about him － I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't dare to start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the last piece." And I got it.

The boy gave me a strange look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out. "This woman's crazy!" Everyone stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red － as red as his hair － when I realized I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate that he'd been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.

1.The woman telling the story ________.

A. always went shopping with her family on Fridays

B. had been very busy and needed some time to recover

C. bought some chocolate so that she could keep a place at the table

D. wanted a newspaper and some chocolate to take home to her family

2.When the woman saw the boy go on eating the chocolate, she felt ________.

A. too tired to start an argument

B. more and more angry with the boy

C. too shy to look in the boy's direction

D. more and more disappointed at losing the chocolate

3.The woman's face turned red ________.

A. because she hated being shouted at

B. because she saw everyone staring at her

C. because she realized that the boy was poor and angry

D. because she realized that she had been quite wrong about the boy

4.From the story we can see the woman ________.

A. was crazy

B. was being careless

C. often made mistakes

D. was careless and selfish

A scientist believes he has discovered a direct link between people's favourite sleeping position and their personality. Professor Chris Idzikowski has described six different positions and what each one says about a person’s character. The professor, who did the research for a hotel group, said, “We are all aware of our body language when we are awake but this is the first time we have been able to see what our position says about us when we are asleep.” At the moment, Professor Idzikowski is trying to sleep in a yoga position that involves crossing your legs around your neck. He says there is no perfect position for sleeping.

1. THE STARFISH

“Starfish” sleep flat on their back with their arms raised. They are good listeners who make friends easily but do not like to be the centre of the attention.

2. THE YEARNER

“Yearners” sleep on their side with their arms raised. They are doubtful and have a very sensible approach to life.

3. THE FOETUS

The most popular position, particularly among women. They sleep curled（蜷縮）up on their side, holding on to the pillow. They appear to be tough but are actually sensitive and shy.

4. THE FREEFALLER

Only 6.5% of people prefer to sleep on their front, making this the least popular sleeping position. “Freefallers” seem very confident, although this hides a nervous personality.

5. THE LOG

The “l(fā)og” position is similar to the “yearner” but with arms by the sides. “Logs” are easy-going and sociable, but can be seen as too gullible, easily to be tricked.

6. THE SOLDIER

“Soldiers”, who sleep on their back with their arms by their sides, are quiet and reserved. They set high standards for themselves and do not like noisy social situations.

1.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A. The yoga sleeping position is the best one.

B. People don't know their body language when awake.

C. People's sleeping position determines their personality.

D. Professor Idzikowski shows great interest in sleeping positions.

2.Which of the following sayings about the sleeping position is correct?

A. “Foetus” seem to be strong but sensitive.

B. “Yearners” sleep on their back with their arms raised.

C. “Starfish” like to be the focus of the attention.

D. “Soldiers” sleep on their side with their arms by their sides.

3.What does the underlined word gullible mean in Paragraph 6?

A. Easily annoyed. B. Easily approached.

C. Easily cheated. D. Easily satisfied.
