6．（36）G Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children，though nobody knows why this is the case．
The ridge（隆起） structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries．Burns，cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one，which bears a reproduction of the original pattern． （37）C Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take．
Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink．They can be recorded easily． （38）D Because of the simplicity and economy of this system，finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case．A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain． （39）FWhen a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime，they are difficult to detect（察覺） with the naked eye． （40 ）A Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained．

Recently my husband had his Achilles tendon（跟腱） cut when feeding a chicken. When sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for surgery stressfully, I decided to treat myself for a minute and start to read about “The Little House on the Prairie”. Suddenly I felt my life seemed like a slack（懈怠） compared to the Ingalls who do all their washing and cooking but they feel so happy. Their every happiness is created from the work with their own hands. Yet I’m walking around feeling sorry for myself because I’m picking up the slack! So I’m thinking “Work it out! Get up and get busy.”

It really is true. I realize that I’m happiest when accomplishing tangible(有形的) productive work—working in the yard and washing my dishes—brings me happiness. This does not surprise Kelly Lambert Ph.D. She has been researching the phenomenon she calls “effort-rewards”. When you do meaningful work with your hands, a kind of neurochemical feedback floods your brain with dopamine and serotonin. These happy brain chemicals are natural antidepressants, and we’ve evolved to release them both to reward ourselves for working with our hands and to motivate ourselves to do it some more. Dr. Lambert says Americans have become more depressed in recent years and at the same time we’ve experienced a decrease in purposeful physical activity. Did we lose something vital to our mental health when we started pushing buttons instead of ploughing the fields?

Dr. Pansinski says she gets that happy look when she prepares a meal at the end of a day. “We are programmed to reward ourselves when we accomplish things with our hands. For so many people, it just feels as though everything’s going so fast—life, kids, hundreds of e-mails a day. There is so little you can really see and hold on to. Working with one’s hands is a way to slow down, to take pleasure in life again.”

1.Before reading “The Little House On the Prairie”, the writer might think the Ingalls were ________.

A. unknown B. hardworking

C. foolish D. unhappy

2.The writer develops the first paragraph in a way of ________.

A. giving an example B. making a comparison

C. analyzing a cause D. asking a question

3.From Kelly Lambert Ph. D, we know that ________.

A. her “effort-rewards” is popular among American people

B. working with our hands makes our brain tired easily

C. a decrease in physical work causes people in low mood.

D. we should work with our hands instead of using machine

4.From what Dr. Pansinski says, we can conclude that ________.

A. time and tide wait for no man

B. we should lower our expectation for life

C. it’s better to leave today’s work to tomorrow

D. we should never hurry our life too much

In France, a man walks on what can only be described as a human-sized hamster wheel. The wheel moves around and around, as the man keeps walking. What is he doing? He is lifting a heavy object to the top of a tower the same way workers moved such objects 800 years ago.

In the 13th century, workers did not have the 100-meter tall cranes they now use to build tall buildings. So they had to be creative and come up with simple machines to get their work done.

The man on the large wheel is walking at a reasonable speed. The wheel turns and pulls a rope connected to a pulley(滑輪)at the top of the tower. Another rope tied to the pulley lifts supplies from the ground.

This is just one way skilled craftsmen arc building a 13th-century castle without using modern tools. Crew have been working on the castle since 1997. It is being built in the Burgundy area of central France. Organizers expect the work to last another 10 to 15 years. That means it will take close to 30 years to finish the project.

The crew are making progress at about half the speed of the workers from 800 years ago. That is because many of them are accustomed to using modern tools. When the crew use heavy chisels(鑿子）and hammers to break rock, as they did hundreds of years ago, they are learning as they go. The goal of the project is to learn more about old building techniques in case they might be of use today.

Clement Guerard, 44,is a stonemason; he cuts and builds with stone. He has been working on the tower for 17 years. He said one way he is able to work on something like this for so long is by forgetting “some of the pace of modern life", he is able to adapt to working by hand.

1.Why is the man walking in the wheel?

A. To draw the attention of passers-by. B. To act as an ancient building worker.

C. To test an ancient machine for building. D. To raise building materials to the building top.

2.What makes the project last so long?

A. The quality it requires. B. The ancient way to built it.

C. Its huge size. D. Its great height.

3.What’s the purpose of building the tower in the ancient way?

A. To build a unique ancient building. B. To copy a famous ancient building.

C. To master ancient building techniques. D. To experience ancient way of building.

4.Why has Clement Guerard worked such a long time for the tower?

A. He in used to doing handwork. B. He can get a steady income.

C. He forgets how to do other jobs. D. He likes building ancient buildings.
