Roller coasters are fast and exciting. But passing a painful kidney (肾) stones is not. The process is painful and can take a long time. But American researchers have found that a roller coaster ride just might help those suffering from a kidney stone. They say such rides help patients pass the stones with a 70 percent success rate.

David Wartinger led the study. He found that where the person sits on the roller coaster can make a big difference. He said, “In the pilot study, sitting in the last car of the roller coaster showed about a 64 percent passage rate. Sitting in the first few cars only had a 16 percent success rate.”

It also mattered where the stones were located in the kidney. The researchers found that stones located in the upper part of the kidney model were passed 100 percent.

When it comes to passing kidney stones, not all roller coasters are equal. The researchers used 174 kidney stones of differing shapes, sizes and weights to see if each model worked on the same ride and on two other roller coasters. They found that Big Thunder Mountain was the only one that worked. The other two roller coasters both failed the test. Wartinger said the other rides were too fast and too violent. The movement forced the stones against the side of the kidney. He said that the ideal roller coaster is rough and quick with some twists and turns.

Wartinger thinks roller coaster rides could also be used as a preventative measure. He said that a yearly ride on a roller coaster could even prevent stones from developing. “You need to heed the warnings before going on a roller coaster,” he said. “If you have a kidney stone, but are otherwise healthy and meet the requirements of the ride, patients should try it.”

He adds that it’s definitely a lower cost alternative to other treatments. And riding a roller coaster is definitely more fun!

C. Supportive.    D. Skeptical.

  I’d like to give you some advices on how to learn Chinese well.

      First, it was important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practising with your fellow students. Then, it also help to watch TV or read books, newspapers and magazines in the Chinese whenever possible. It will make you familiar to Chinese characters and enlarge your vocabulary even before you notice it!

Besides, it is a good idea learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easy. You can also make more Chinese friends, they will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese. Try to speak Chinese as many as possible.

In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.

The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.

“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”

“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”

His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal（背叛）and even suicide.

28. Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?

  A. They seldom follow the French law.

  B. They often ignore the Guianese law.

C. They are separated from the modern world.

  D. They are both Guianese and French citizens.

29. Gin introduces the special world of the indigenous Guianese as _________.

A. a tour guide    B. a geographer    C. a film director      D. a photographer

30. What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?

A. Cautious.  B. Doubtful.    C. Uninterested.      D. Appreciative.

31. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The modern French lifestyle.        B. The self-supporting hunting.

C. The uncivilized world.        D. The French Republic.

Bernard Shaw (1856 -- 1950) was born in Dublin, Ireland. With an unhappy childhood, Bernard Shaw did not do well at school but he showed great interest in literature. He left school at the age of 14. In 1876, Shaw gave up his first job and went to London, where he devoted much of his time to self-education by widely reading in the local libraries. Shaw began his literary career by writing novels after he settled down in London. The best known is Cashel Byron’s Profession(1886).

In a period of ten years from 1885, Shaw worked as a critic of music and drama for many magazines and newspapers. In his critical essays, he held the view that art should serve social purposes by reflecting human life, revealing social contradictions and educating the public.

Shaw wrote more than 50 plays, touching upon a variety of subjects. The Apple Cart(1929) is about politics; John Bull’s Other Island(1904) is about racial problems; The Doctor’s Dilemma(1906) is about ignorance and pride of the medical profession.

As a realistic dramatist, he took the modern social issues as his subjects with the aim of directing social reforms. Most of his plays are concerned with political, economic, moral or religious problems. Many of Shavian(萧伯纳的) dramas are constructed around the inversion of a traditional theatrical situation. The inversion is an important part of Shavian dramas. By presenting a hero as a villain(恶魔) or a villain as a hero, Shaw intends to leave a shocking impression on his audience.

Shaw’s plays have plots, but they do not work. The plot is usually the ignored backbone of one long and unbroken conversation. Action is reduced to the minimum, while the dialogue maintains the interest of the audience.

28. Which of the following is the best-known work of Bernard Shaw?

A. The Apple Cart                           B. The Doctor’s Dilemma

C. John Bull’s Other Island                     D. Cashel Byron’s Profession

29. In Shaw’s plays, he showed his concern mainly about __________.

A. education            B. music            C. religious problem        D. traditional drama

30. According to the text, what’s the main feature of Shavian drama?

A. Characters           B. Inversion            C. Realistic description     D. Long conversations

31. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Bernard Shaw’s works.                   B. Bernard Shaw’s view on art.

C. Some facts about Bernard Shaw.           D. The writing style of Bernard Shaw.

 Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind ________.
