As Sessions was too young to enter the election in the spring of 2005, he registered to vote on Sept. 22, one day after his 18-year-old birthday. The day after that he started his write-in campaign (戰(zhàn)役), which means he should persuade voters to remember his name and write it by hand on the voting ballots (選票).
To help get his name known, Sessions earned ＄700 by selling apples over the summer. He spent the money on posters and put them on the Hillsdale’s lawns.
Session’s month-long campaign included going door to door, explaining his ideas of the town’s future in the kitchens of his neighbours. “They’d look at me, and say, ‘How old are you? How much experience do you have?’ And I say, ‘I’m still in high school’,” he said.
Sessions promised Hillsdale’s voters he would renew the local economy. “I was hopeful the whole time,” he explained. One day he spent so long out on the streets knocking on the doors that he ended up in a hospital emergency room.
Sessions said that his schoolwork will not get in the way of his job

With only about 1,
000 pandas left in the world,

at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid
nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a
professor in Texas A & M’s
It is estimated that
as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in

This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. .
“They are trying to

Some spiders hunt on the ground, others build webs to trap their food, but the grass water spider catches its prey by running along the surface of the water.
This special water spider lives on the grassy banks of streams where mosquitoes, damsel flies and other insects come to feed and breed.
Although it is
one of the largest spiders in
Grass water spiders deal swiftly with larger insects like damsel flies by pulling their heads under the water and holding them there until they drown.
After a meal, the grass water spider spends up to half an hour grooming (修飾) itself. It wipes its eight eyes, brushes its antennae (觸角), and takes special care to clean the hairs on its body.
It is the hairs that trap tiny bubbles (泡沫) of air so that the spider can run down a blade (葉片) of grass and stay underwater for up to an hour when it is frightened. The hairs also keep the spider dry, even underwater.
It is only when the female spider is caring for the young that she does not hunt on the water. After mating, she produces a large egg sac(囊), which she carries around for five weeks. Once the eggs start to hatch, she attaches the sac to some blades of grass or a thistle. She then tears the sac open and releases the tiny spiders into the nursery web.
73．How does the grass water spider kill its prey?
A．In a web. B．By drowning.

C．list all of
the spiders that can be found in

Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients ― to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death? In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed （變矮�。゜y greater needs: the need to protect from brutal news, to uphold a promise of secrecy or to advance the public interest.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should doctors reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients’ own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them of risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate（惡化）faster, perhaps even commit suicide (自殺).
But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed (傳達), helps patients cope with illness: help them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.
There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception(欺騙). Yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”
77．According to the author’s opinion, lies ________.
A．can benefit the patients B．can help the patients to recover
C．can do nothing to the patients’ illness D．can not benefit the patients
78．Which of the following statements is not true?
A．Most of the doctors believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition.
B．The truthful information helps patients to deal with their illness.
C．There is a need to discuss whether to lie or not.
D．It is true that “What you don’t know can’t hurt you” .
79．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly.
B．Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”
C．The public has every reason to be cautious of the professional deception.
D．We need to discuss this issue in medicine, but not in other professions.
80．What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?
A．Deception is beneficial to patients.
B．Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.
C．Whether patients really want to know the truth of their illness.
D．Who benefits from deception.

One possible version:
In the past, senior middle school students were heavily burdened with all kinds of homework. Because of various examinations, they spent about 6.5 hours in their classroom a day. At home, about 3.5 hours was spent on their homework and therefore most of them got less than seven hours’ sleep a night, with only about three hours’ free time for other things. As a result, their health was badly damaged.
Now things are getting better. About five hours is spent in class and hours for homework is shortened to about two so that they can have two more hours’ sleep and also two more hours’ free time to do whatever they like.
