1The possibility that pleasant smells might reduce pain has recently been suggested by new research. In a scientific study, doctors asked 20 men and 20 women to keep their hands in very hot water for as long as possible while breathing in different smells.As people believe that strong smells can affect the senses, volunteers were asked not to eat or drink for eight hours before the experiment began. During the experiment, volunteers were asked to take in pleasant smells such as vanilla (香草), and unpleasant smells such as durians (榴莲). The volunteers kept their hands in the water until it became too hot for them. When they could not bear the pain any more, they took their hands out of the water.Scientists are interested in whether the senses or smell is related to pain and whether men and women have the same senses. Now, the study has proved that for women, pleasant smells reduce pain. For men, there is no change.Dr Finkelstein has been studying smells since 1999. He says that scientists already have data from 40 volunteers. He adds that this year, scientists will test another 60 volunteers and will be in a better position to explain the results.One explanation is that women’s sense of smell developed long ago, and is linked to recognizing the smell of babies. Scientists used to believe that mothers recognized their children by sight only. Now, they have started to believe that the sense of smell also helps, but why pleasant smells do not reduce pain in men is a question still to be answered by scientists.小题1:Before the experiment, volunteers ______.A．are gathered and take a trainingB．cannot eat or drink for several hoursC．must wash their hands carefullyD．will be interviewed by Dr Finkelstein小题2:If both men and women are asked to keep their hands in hot water while taking in some pleasant smells, ______.A．women may stand the pain of the hot water longerB．men may keep their hands in the hot water longerC．they will probably take their hands out at the same timeD．we are not quite sure who will take their hands out earlier小题3:From the passage we learn that _________.A．the reason why women are sensitive to smells is clearB．the experiment for the sense of smell has come to an endC．unpleasant smells affect men’s senses more than women’sD．scientists have not totally explained the result of the study小题4:Now scientists believe that _______.A．mothers recognize their children only by sightB．men’s sense of smell developed a long time agoC．strong smells have a great influence on people’s sensesD．smells are helpful for mothers to spot their children小题5:The writer wrote the passage in order to ________.A．supply some entertainment to usB．show women’s sharper senses than men’sC．inform the readers of some knowledgeD．call for volunteers for the experiment2Most recently, it’s very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews.Naturally, it’s easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us. We—as parents—are so eager to protect our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them. As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself all the time that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me. So, I’ll let them fail.I’ll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow. And failure—along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc.—will be part of growth for them. Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today. From terrorism (恐怖主义) and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish.My children are faced with hard situations in their own life almost each day, but they try to negotiate (协商) everything now. It’s a small price to help them learn a skill they’ll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don’t come with them on job interviews.&小题1:Why do parents go along with their kids on job interviews?A．Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties.B．Because they think they can protect them from being hurt.C．Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews.D．Because their kids strongly request them to do so.小题2:According to the author, what is helpful to kids’ development?A．Protecting them.B．Keeping them safe.C．Leaving them alone.D．Blaming them.小题3:The author believes experiencing failure in life can make kids ___________.A．become healthier than other kidsB．grow in this challenging worldC．develop all social skillsD．escape from natural disasters小题4:If the writer’s boy goes to a job interview, she probably will ___________.A．go with him to protect her kid from difficultyB．stay home but give him directions over telephoneC．wait outside and talk with other parentsD．let him go to the interview by himself小题5:Which of the following might be the best title of the text?A．Never help your kidsB．Let your kids failC．Go to the interview with your kidsD．Live without parents3Have you ever noticed someone "talking" to them-selves? What did you think? The word "crazy" probably came to your mind. Wait a minute, though. Maybe they’re doing something meaningful.Speaking practice can be effective in many different forms when people learn English or another foreign language. Imitating the speech of others is proven to be highly effective in developing a native speaker’s level of fluency in a language. Actually you’ve already proven that to your-self.How? That’s how you learned your first language! Whether it was English, Spanish, French or some other language, you "imitated" your mother, father, other family members, friends, teachers and whoever else was around making "talking" noises at you as you formed your first communicative language skills.So don’t think those who are talking to themselves are "crazy". At least don’t do so until you’ve tried it for your-self, in English or in your new foreign language.As you go through your day, in English or your new foreign language, tell yourself what you’re doing at the moment and what you’re going to do during the day."Which of these shirts, ties, etc. should I wear today? Not this one, I wore it just last week. Maybe this one, but I don’t like this color with the pants. Let’s try another one," you might say as you are getting dressed.If you live alone, you can talk aloud whenever you want without disturbing others. If you don’t live alone, however, then first explain to your family or roommates what you’ll be doing, to avoid a quiet phone call to the local psychiatrist (精神病学家).小题1:The author wrote the passage mainly to _______.A．tell us how to talk to ourselvesB．introduce a method of learning a foreign languageC．tell us why some people talk to themselvesD．explain to us how we learned our native language小题2:What does the underlined word "it" in the fifth paragraph refer to?A．The word "crazy".B．A foreign language.C．The skill of communicating.D．The method of talking to oneself.小题3:From the passage we can know that ______.A．people who talk to themselves are crazyB．if you live alone, you should talk to yourselfC．you should tell yourself what you’re doingD．we learned our native language by imitating4You can’t hide a natural disaster from children, so how do we prepare them for it? First of all, you should explain to them that acts of nature aren’t necessarily disasters but can become one. These may include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, wild fires, and earthquakes. The way to prepare children for these disasters is to educate them about what each type is and then make it fun by making them “Disaster Masters” or whatever title you can think of.Making them a Disaster Master won’t be easy. They must know what’s in a disaster emergency kit(工具箱) and why it’s included. You can get your friends involved, too. If your friends have children, they may want to be involved in your emergency preparations. Make it a group project. This is the opportunity for everyone to become familiar with the equipment.We have to be aware of our conduct and the way we react to stress. The children will be easily influenced by your attitude anddemeanor. The calmness, steady manner, and good humor of your spouse (配偶) and you will go a long way toward the easing or the reduction of stress.Explain to them what they’re likely to encounter or see and describe how people may react. Disasters can come and go very quickly and generally don’t last long. If you must stay away from home, try to get into a routine quickly and encourage them to make new friends. Let them know they can look to their parents and other adults if they become scared or confused. And it’s important to let them know it’s OK to cry during a disaster.It’s sometimes helpful to let the children draw pictures of what they’ve experienced. Encourage them to write what they learned and what could have been done better. Save the story. Make it part of a documented family history!小题1:This passage was written mainly to tell us about ______.A．the importance of mutual help in disaster preparationB．tips for preparing children for a natural disasterC．the importance of educating children about natural disastersD．ways to raise children’s courage in natural disasters小题2:It is a must that a Disaster Master knows ______.A．when a natural disaster will comeB．why there are natural disastersC．how to use a disaster emergency kitD．how to teach others about emergency preparations小题3:The underlined word “demeanor” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “______”.A．personalityB．lifestyleC．emotionD．behavior小题4:When they meet with a natural disaster, children ______.A．must write down what they see and how they feelB．should believe that the disaster will never last longC．can cry if they are frightenedD．should help other children despite the danger小题5:The author wrote the passage mainly for ______.A．parentsB．young childrenC．teachersD．college students
