I work in a busy Emergency Room( E. R. ) .  This weekend, I had a patient who was very nervousand paranoid.
After looking at his chart, I saw that he was seeking treatment for alcoholism. There is an immediate prejudice against substance abuse in my E. R. One -we do not have a detox(戒酒) facility.The people seeking treatment for addiction are sometimes looked down on as being less worthy of treatment  than  other  serious  physical  " ailments" .
At first glance, I found out that the man was now somewhere in his mid-thirties, was very weak and had a generally aggressive character. He could not sit still and had a cough. He had not had a drink in four days. His hands were shaking and there was a scared look in his eyes.
He told me that he began drinking about age 11 when his mother supplied him with it. He had tried to quit many times before but had not been able to." So .  what's different this time ?"I asked.
"Because I'm starting to be mean to the people I love, but now I don't want to be.  I ca:n see that  I'm changing into something else. "
That answer helped change my attitude toward him. I could see the pain behind his eyes. Behind the appearance, there was a terrified person whose goodness was being claimed by the alcohol. He  was desperate for help, but not so sure that his condition could be changed.
I, thank this man for showing me that the goodness is dressed in all sorts of disguises(偽裝) . Sometimes we have to undress it. It's worth doing. My patient was admitted to the hospital for help ,despite us not having a detox facility.

在本文中作者描述了自己遇見的一位因為酗酒來接受治療的病人讓自己認(rèn)識到很多人都是帶著偽裝的,要想真正認(rèn)識一個人,很多時候是要卸掉偽裝。也就是告訴我們不要以貌取人。
小題1:C
【試題解析】推理題。根據(jù)第2段最后2行The people seeking treatment for addiction are sometimes looked down on as being less worthy of treatment  than  other  serious  physical  " ailments" .可知那些因為酗酒來尋求治療的病人經(jīng)常會被認(rèn)為看不起,認(rèn)為他們不如患其他疾病的人值得治療。本句中的  " ailments"是指和酗酒相似的疾病。故C項正確。
小題2:D
【試題解析】計算題。根據(jù)3,4段第一句At first glance, I found out that the man was now somewhere in his mid-thirties和He told me that he began drinking about age 11?芍@個人選擇30多歲,而他是在11歲的時候就開始喝酒了,所以他喝了20多年的酒。故D正確。
小題3:B
【試題解析】推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第3行  "Because I'm starting to be mean to the people I love, but now I don't want to be.  I ca:n see that  I'm changing into something else. "可知這個人開始對自己所愛的人不好了,這是因為酒精讓他變成來了另外一個人。故B正確。
小題4:C
【試題解析】推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段I, thank this man for showing me that the goodness is dressed in all sorts of disguises(偽裝) . Sometimes we have to undress it. It's worth doing. My patient was admitted to the hospital for help ,despite us not having a detox facility.可知很多時候人們都穿著偽裝的外衣,要想真正了解一個人,我們要卸掉偽裝。也就是不要根據(jù)外表來判斷一個人。故C項說法正確。
【長難句解析】
1.After looking at his chart, I saw that he was seeking treatment for alcoholism.
【翻譯】看了他的病歷以后,我知道他是為了尋求酗酒的治療的。
【分析】本句中的after作為介詞,其賓語是動名詞短語looking at his chart;該詞還可以作為連詞,后面接時間狀語從句。后面的句中含有that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句,that在句中不充當(dāng)任何成分,可以省略。
2. Behind the appearance, there was a terrified person whose goodness was being claimed by the alcohol.
【翻譯】在表面的東西下面,有一個可怕的人,他的靈魂已經(jīng)被酒精奪走了。
【分析】本句中有一個定語從句whose goodness was being claimed by the alcohol,修飾先行詞person,在這個定語從句whose指代先行詞,在定語從句中做定語。Whose的先行詞可以是人也可以是物,相當(dāng)于of which/whom。

Many people cannot start their day without first having a cup of coffee or tea.These drinks help them think clearly and feel more awake.This is because of caffeine,which helps to give a jump start to the nervous system.Now,a report says it may also boost long-term memory.
Mike Yassa is a neurobiology professor.He and other researchers wanted to know if caffeine could improve a person’s memory.He explains,“After you learn anything,it takes some time for that memory to strengthen.And over the first 24 hours is actually where most of   the forgetting happens.So that is where we wanted to intervene with caffeine and see if we can help reduce this forgetting.”  
They took 160 caffeine-free people and showed them pictures of everyday objects. These people were asked if the objects could be found inside the house, or outdoors.Then some of the subjects were given a caffeine pill.The others were given a placebo—a pill containing nothing. 24 hours later,the subjects were shown the exact same images from the day before.They were also shown images with slight differences,and some completely new images. Both groups correctly identified the exact same and completely new pictures.But those who took the caffeine pill were better at spottingthe pictures that were slightly different.
Professor Yassa says their answers helped to show the effects of caffeine on memory. And  we find that if they are on caffeine they are much more likely to make the right decision.”
The amount of caffeine the researchers used in the study was similar to one cup of strong coffee.The researchers did not see any improvement to memory from smaller doses of caffeine or when it was given an hour before viewing the images.

Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard,they also relax just as well.Numerous vacations help  the couple to maintain their health and emotional well­being­­and it’s no surprise to health care professionals.
“Rest,relaxation,and  stress  reduction are very  important for people’s well­being and health.This can be accomplished through daily activities,such as exercise and meditation,but vacation is an important part of this as well,” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York.Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing,so a rested,relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better,” said Withers.
Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacation has on one’s mental health is great,” said Francine Lederer,a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation,even if it is a 24­hour time­out.” The trips could be good for their health,good for their family and good for their businesses.
The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010,and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them.France topped the list,with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them.Americans’ responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued,but that’s not always good for the individual,the family or the employer.
Psychologists have also found that people who don’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this,the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker,making it actually more difficult to shift into less­stressed states,” Mulhern said.
小題1:How did the author introduce the topic of the text?
A.By making comparisons.B.By giving an example.
C.By raising questions. D.By providing data.
小題2:According to Natasha Withers,vacations can________.
A.weaken reaction system
B.cure serious diseases
C.reduce the level of well­being
D.decrease the risk of heart disease
小題3:Expedia’s survey shows that Americans________.
A.dislike family gatherings
B.have the shortest vacation
C.enjoy as many vacations as the French
D.think much of spending long hours on the job
小題4:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.One should never wait to relax.
B.Work and rest go against each other.
C.Time and opportunity wait for no man.
D.A relaxed mind determines everything.
小題5:What is mainly talked about in the text?
A.Ways to relax in one’s free time.
B.The benefits of taking time off.
C.Different opinions on holidays.
D.The Hostetlers always on the go.

The run-up to the launch of China's first lunar orbiter at the end of this month has caught the country's imagination, with more than two thirds of the nation hoping to see the launch live on TV, according to a survey.                              
According to the survey by China Youth Daily and www.qq.com, almost the entire nation hopes to catch images of the event at some point, with 99 percent of the 10358 respondents saying they expected to witness the satellite launch and 68.9 percent said they were certain to watch the live broadcast of the launch. On www.qq.com and www.sina.com, two popular web portals in the country, internet users have contributed some 2,000 poems and 5000 drawings on the theme of Chang'e I.
"The satellite launch means much more than just saying 'hello' to the moon. Maybe in the future we could also send some people to accompany sister 'Chang'e'," said a college student in the survey.
Remarkably, many people expect to visit the moon one day, with 93.4 percent of respondents saying they expected to do so.
Chang'e I is named after Chang'e, a famous character from Chinese mythology. She ascended from earth to live on the moon as a celestial being after drinking an elixir.
There is also another connection between the moon and China. In the 1970s, a crater on the moon was named after a Chinese stargazer, Wan Hu, who is said to be the first astronaut in human history.
Legend says about 600 years ago, around the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Wan Hu, a local government official, tried to fly into space with the help of a chair, two big kites and 47 self-made gunpowder-filled rockets. According to the legend after the rockets were lit there was a huge bang and lots of smoke. When the smoke cleared Wan was nowhere to be found.
China's first astronaut flew into space in 2003 with the launch of the Chinese-made spaceship Shenzhou V. China became the third country, after the Soviet Union and the United States, to carry out manned space missions.
小題1:Which is true according to the passage?
A.According to a survey, two thirds of the nation are hoping to see the launch live on TV,
B.The internet users have drawn some 5000 pictures of ‘Chang’e’.
C.Wan Hu, a Chinese stargazer(n. 看星星的人,占星師,天文學(xué)家) , was dead after the huge bang and a lot of smoke.
D.China’s first astronaut flew into space in 2003 in the spaceship Shenzhou VI.
小題2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 5?
A.a(chǎn) kind of medicine for long life.B.a(chǎn) kind of medicine to make you light enough to fly in the air.
C.a(chǎn) kind of wineD.a(chǎn) kind of alcohol.
小題3:Why was Wan Hu said to be the first astronaut in human history?
A.Because a crater on the moon was named after his name.
B.Because he was the first to go to the moon in his own “spaceship”.
C.Because of his courage for scientific experiment to the moon.
D.Because he made the first rocket in human history.

A proverb says :“Time is money.”But in my opinion, time is even more valuable than money. Why? Because when money is spent ,we can earn it back .However when time is gone ,it will never return .This is the reason why we must value time.
There is no doubt that the time we have is unusually limited. So even an hour is extremely precious. We should make full use of our time to do useful things .As students we must not relax our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve our society and our nation in the future.
But it is pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time .They spend their valuable time smoking, drinking and so on. They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.
In a word, we should get into a good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.

Some students get so nervous before a test; they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock has studied these highly anxious test­takers.
Sian Beilock: “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry,it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”
Professor Beilock and another researcher,Gerardo Ramirez,have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam,highly anxious test­takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
Sian Beilock: “What we think happens is when students put it down on paper,they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise the situation. They might realize it's not as bad as they might think it was before and,in essence(本質(zhì)上),it prevents these thoughts from popping up when they're actually taking a test.”
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.
Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.
Prefessor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of  B+,compared to a B- for those who did not.
Sian Beilock: “What we showed is that for students who are highly test­anxious,who'd done our writing intervention(排解),all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The result in the math test agrees with that in the biology test.
B.In the first math test, students who sat quietly performed better.
C.In the second math test, students who wrote about their feelings did worse.
D.Some college students are highly anxious test­takers while others are not in the tests.
小題2:What may happen if students have the problem of test anxiety?
A.Test anxiety is sure to cause students to fail the test.
B.Test anxiety can improve students' performance to some degree.
C.Students' attention and memory resources run out when worried.
D.Students may not be admitted into their favorite college if worried.
小題3:The result of the research suggests that ________.
A.proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thing
B.facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve more
C.a(chǎn)voiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxation
D.taking no action before difficulty may result in success
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.It is important for students to overcome test anxiety.
B.Anxious students overcome test anxiety by writing down fears.
C.It is a common practice for students being worried before a test.
D.Being worried before tests does harm to students' performance.
