2.It seems hard to watch someone yawn(打哈欠) and not to yawn ourselves.Even reading about yawning can make you do it.Now,a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn,the study suggests,is a form of social connection.Kids don't develop this behavior until around age four,the study found.Autistic(患自閉癥的)children are less likely to catch yawns.In the most serious cases,they never do.Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly.The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.
"Emotional(情緒的) effect seems to be a born thing that connects us together,"said Molly Helt,a graduate student at the University of Connecticut."Yawning may be part of that."Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane.She repeatedly yawned at him,hoping he would yawn back.He never did.
"The fact that autistic kids don't do it might mean they're really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,"she said."The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others',"she added."Autistic people never seem to understand that."
Like infectious (有感染力的)laughter and crying,scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that improves social connection.Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.

12.According to the passage,which of the following statements is True?B.
A.It is hard to yawn when you see others yawn.
B.Yawning is a form of communication.
C.Autistic children are more likely to catch yawns.
D.Yawning too much does harm to people's health.
13.In her study,Molly Helt has found thatB.
A.people get inspired when they yawn
B.yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
C.people only communicate with others by yawning when they are young
D.yawning helps clear ears on planes
14.From the passage,we can know thatD.
A.it is strange to yawn back if people around you yawn.
B.some kids are too young to yawn after others.
C.a(chǎn)utistic children yawn easily when others yawn.
D.yawning can be used to test children's development.
15.From the the last paragraph,it can be inferred thatD.
A.yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying
B.it is impolite to yawn on some social occasions
C.yawning is a shared experience that improves social connection
D.yawning can make people feel relaxed.

14.Luke has always been my closest and best friend these past five years.As you already know,there have been a lot of forest fires during the summer season.Many forests are badly damaged by fire each year.Not far from our house,a forest caught fire during this hot summer.We are on July,a heat wave which has been going on for three days.
Luke rushed towards the forest where flames send out heat.There's no longer any hope at the moment to wait for Luke to come back.In fact,I was waiting for the fire brigade (消防隊(duì)) to tell me about his death in the forest.Suddenly,a fireman burst into my office and told me that Luke successfully saved four little cats who were trapped by the flames.According to the fireman,Luke moved the cats one by one to a safe place.

Thanks to Luke,four cats and a fireman were saved.That day,I took pride in Luke for his two heroic actions.I paid a visit to the fireman in his house with my Luke.What a memorable scene when the fireman held Luke tightly to his chest!"One thousand thanks,Luke,for saving my life,"the fireman said.
This true story of love shows us that pets are faithful.We should love and protect them.Sometimes they can make big things for humans.

11.A good reader becomes sooner or later a good book buyer.The sooner,the better.The reading done in a book drawn from a library can not be so pleasant at the moment nor so  permanently useful as the reading done in our own copy.
    A book which is worth reading is likely to be read more than once,and at each reading some idea or some statement makes such an impression that we wish to refer to it again. Some readers underline the page as they read,but I find that a page which I have underlined can not give me so many fresh impressions as one which has no marks on it.My habit is to make my own index(索引)of a book as I read.I put down the number of the page and a word or two to identify the thought or the fact which I get from it.On a second or third reading I am likely to double or triple the size of this index.This is my substitute for underlining.Most of the books in my library are so indexed that I can find quickly the passage which from time to time I wish to look up.
    To use a book in this way,organizing it for continued usefulness year after year,we  must,of course,do our reading in a copy which belongs to us.The books I buy are chiefly   those of less expensive editions.
    As I have grown older and the number of books on my shelves has increased,I appre-ciate editions which do not take much room.By careful and continuous selection I keep my  librarv down to ten thousand books.This would be,of course,too large a number for any but a professional scholar or writer.But my advice to a book lover is to weed but his library  at least once every two years,giving away the books which are not likely to be read again.And never never buy a book which you will not immediately read.A library bought only for looks is not literature,but indoor decoration.
61.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the first paragraph?
A
A.Reading your own book benefits you more than reading a copy from a library.
B.Reading a book at home is more pleasant and useful than doing it in a library.
C.Reading a book in a library is more pleasant and useful than doing it at home.
D.A book drawn from a library cannot take as much time as your own copy.
62.What is the disadvantage of underlining according to the author?C
A.Underlined books look old and not worth reading.
B.The lines make it difficult for the reader to concentrate.
C.Underlined books cannot give the reader enough fresh impressions.
D.The reader cannot find the passage he or she wishes to read again.
63.What would the author's index look like after a third reading?B
A.It contains the number of the page and a word or two.
B.It contains the number of the page and 3 to 6 words.
C.It numbers the page,the paragraph and the lines.
D.It fills the cover of the book with numbers and words.
64.Which of the following books would the author most probably like to keep?D
A.Big expensive good books.   
B.Thin and cheap books.
C.Books with lots of pictures.   
D.Good books in cheap,thin editions.
65.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?B
A.The writer has read only some of the books in his library.
B.The writer is a professional scholar or writer.
C.The writer has never given away any books in his library.
D.The writer's library is indoor decoration rather than literature.
