Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.

77.

    Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.

78.

    Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.

79.

    Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.

80.

    Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent, stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.

 The 57-year-old, father-of-three, revealed on the Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their thirteenth birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.

  “We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone,” the self-made billionaire explained.

  He said as a result his children often return home from school complaining:” All the other kids have it. I’m the only one without it, and it’s so embarrassing.”

  Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters’ email and Facebook accounts, Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer, 16, who he describes as “independent”.

  He admitted that monitoring online activity is “a very tricky issue for parents now.”

  Despite their vast wealth Mr and Mrs Gates, who live in Lake Medina, just outside Seattle, Washington, have said they want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible.

  It was previously reported that their youngsters have to complete household chores and are given a modest amount of pocket money.

  And in 2010 Mr Gates said that he intended to give most of his $ 61 billion fortune away rather than hand it down. “That wouldn’t be good either for my kids or society,” he said.

Also during the “Today” Interview with host Matt Lauer, Mr Gates, who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy (慈善事业) , said that helping others gives him the same excitement as creating software.

   “What you really feel is what you’ve achieved. If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it－it lets them get their work done in better ways－that’s exciting,” he explained.

32. Bill Gates will not let his children own a cell phone ______.

  A. until they reach the age of 13         B. if they don’t really need one

  C. unless they do some housework       D. before they become independent

33. Which of the following is true about Bill Gates’ children?

  A. All his children now have cell phones.

  B. Phoebe has her own cell phone.

  C. They are not given any pocket mone y.      

  D. Jennifer can use the Internet freely.

34. What does the underlined word “That” refer to in the text?

  A. Being a parent as a billionaire.

  B. Handing all his money down to his children.

  C. Allowing his children to have their phones.

  D. Giving away all his money to good causes.

35. What is the text mainly about?

  A. How Bill Gates made himself a billionaire.

  B. How Bill Gates deals with his money.

  C. How Bill Gates managed his business.

  D. How Bill Gates brings up his children.

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

 “The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”

 Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

 Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.” 

32 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

 A. News reports.     B. Research papers.

 C .Private e-mails.    D. Daily conversations．

33. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

 A. They’re socially inactive.

 B. They’re good at telling stories.

 C. They’re inconsiderate of others.

 D. They’re careful with their words.

34.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?

 A . Sports new.           B. Science articles.

 C. Personal accounts.      D. Financial reviews.

35 .What can be a suitable title for the text?

  A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide

  B .Online News Attracts More People

  C. Reading Habits Change with the Times

  D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

The question was once asked of a businessman who  61  (success) highly ,“How have you done so much in your lifetime?” He replied, “I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine   62   I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In   63   night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I   64  (awake) in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real. While other people were saying, ‘You can’t do that. It is not possible.’ I was well on my way to   65   (achieve) what I wanted.”

As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S, said, “We grow great by dreams.” All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day , or in the red fire on a long winter’s evening.

Some of us let these dreams die,  66  others nourish and protect them. Nourish them   67   bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to   68   who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

So please, don’t let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are too   69  (possible). Sing your songs, dream your dreams and pray your   70   (pray).

   The teenage years can be a very confusing time filled with anxiety, especially in high school. Here are some powerful tips which can help you succeed in the years.

Read as much as you can.  38   Stop spending hours in watching your favorite TV shows and instead use that time to invest in yourself by reading. You’ll notice n a few days how you begin to see things in a different light.

__39   I am 19 years old, so I understand just how much time can be wasted on technology, especially the Internet and cellphones. Once you spend less time doing things that add no value to your life and instead spend that time enriching yourself, your life begins to shape and turn into exactly what you want it to be.

B. Just focus on your favorite

C. Work hard to improve your scores

One night, when I was eight , my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to   41   me but needs me to work in Brazil.

Back home , I   54   myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she   55   to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be   56   I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable   57  .

Crazy Festivals

       Mike the Headless Chicken Festival

       In 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen attempted to cut off the head of Mike, a chicken, so his wife could cook it up for dinner. However, the bird didn’t die and lived another year and a half, making regular trips to the fair, where people paid a quarter to see the amazing headless bird.

       Today, the spirit of Mike the Headless Chicken is celebrated with a two-day May festival in Fruita, Colorado, which includes live music, a golf tournament and lots of delicious chicken.

       Roswell UFO Festival

       In the summer of 1947, a flying saucer (碟状物) crashed on a large farm outside the town of Roswell, New Mexico. The government says it didn’t come from outer space, while many top UFO researchers believe it did.

       Knowing a good thing when it crashes in their backyard, the citizens of Roswell celebrate the event every July with a three-day festival that features a costume contest, a parade and other activities. Be careful, though — that strange little person next to you could be from another planet!

       World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup

       The rattlesnake, a poisonous American snake, serves an important function in nature by keeping small pests under control, but when their numbers grow too large, they can cause serious problems for farmers. That’s why every March the residents of Sweetwater, Texas, host a three-day festival in association with the town’s annual rattlesnake hunt.

       Visitors can learn about rattlesnakes, take a bus tour of their natural habitat, participate in a rattlesnake eating contest and so on.

       Bug Fest

       Every September, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh sponsors a daylong festival that focuses on something most people try to avoid: insects.

       Visitors can hold bugs that are not native, cheer on racing insects and learn about beekeeping. But the highlight for many is Café Insecta, where bugs are the main ingredient in a variety of tasty dishes.

DOGS DRIVE CAR

Auckland, New Zealand

    After two months of learning, Monty, and Porter were able to drive an automobile around a racetrack. “We wanted to prove how smart rescue dogs are,” animal behaviorist Mark Vette says. Vette first used voice commands and treats to teach the dogs how to turn a steering wheel and how to change gear(换挡).

    The dogs’ ride only accelerated up to 7.5 miles an hour, and trainers could stop the auto using a remote control.

GOLDEN ZEBRA

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

    Zoe the zebra’s markings are special. The animal has white and golden stripes. Zoe’s appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis(黑素缺失症). Her body doesn't make enough melanin, the substance in an animal’s skin and hair cells that produces color. “Only 25 other golden zebras are known to exist in the world,”says Ann Goody, who runs the wildlife refuge where Zoe lives. In the wild, life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators(捕猎者) can easily spot them. But Zoe is protected at her refuge.

COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS

Vienna, Austria

    When Figaro the cockatoo spots food lying just out of reach from his cage, he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.

    The bird first revealed his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage. The cockatoo couldn’t reach the stone. So he flew away and returned with a small branch, slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him.

    Wondering if he would do it again, scientists placed a nut exactly where the stone had been. This time, Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him.

21. If Zoe the zebra is set free in the wild, she will _____ .

A. meet no natural predators                              B. not get along with other zebras

       C. manage to make enough melanin                    D. be easily found for her appearance

A. He’ s particular about his food.

B. He’s extremely fond of stones.

C. He’s good at drawing support from outside forces.

D. He can tell the difference between stones and nuts.

23. What is the text mainly about?

Dear Dennis，

I’m glad you’re interested in traditional Chinese Beijing opera. _______________

Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangma’s peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap.

So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s cold and windy up there — but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.

As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren’t the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world’s largest dump. Here’s mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”

But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. So far they’ve collected over 13 tons of garbage.

Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They’ve transformed the cans and oxygen tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal’s capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.

25. What does the underlined word “gear” mean? 

A. Equipment for climbing mountains. 

B.. The food climbers brought onto the mountain. 

C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks. 

D. Some rubbish found on the mountain.

26. The group of 15 Nepali artists_________.

A. created works of art using rubbish from Qomolangma 

B. were employed by the Everest Peakeers Association 

C. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5 tons of trash 

D. painted 74 beautiful pictures of Mount Qomolangma’s peak

27．What can be the best title for the text? 

A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves Successful      

B. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge Mess

C. Test Yourself Against Qomolangma         

D. Recycle Rubbish On Qomolangma

       The book I’m reading of talks about afternoon tea in Britain. It is said to have started in the early 1800’s. Have tea in the late afternoon provides a bridge between lunch and dinner, that might not be served until 8 o’clock at night. This custom soon becomes another meal of day. Interesting, it had a connection by the British porcelain(瓷器) industry. Tea in China was traditionally drank from cupswithout handles. When tea got popular in Britain, there was a crying need for good cup with handles to suit British habits. This made for the grow in the porcelain industry.
