Why don't you 46 for Vice President?” Clearly,it left me ambivalent(有矛盾情感的) .

   Finally,I 47 to run for President,even against Shannon's 48 . Together,my friend Karen and I wrote our speeches.

   Here's a very clever idea: A book that not only contains information about clean drinking water printed on its pages,but the actual pages themselves can be tom off and used as high-tech filters(過濾器) that will remove 99% of bacteria from the filtered water. The idea came out of Dr. Theresa Dankovjch's chemistry PhD work at McGill University in Montreal,during which she invented a new bactericidal (殺菌的) silver nanoparticle (銀納米顆 粒) paper and a green method of producing it using cheap processes. She and her team are now trying to make the Drinkable Book a reality to contribute to the effort to bring clean water to the 663 million people who don't have access to it.

   Here's the description of the project from the official website: 

   The Drinkable Book TM is both a water filter and a manual for how and why to clean drinking water. This filter works to produce clean drinking water by pouring dirty water through a thick,strong sheet of paper containing silver nanoparticles,which can kill microbes（微生物）. This paper was created and shown to be highly antibacterial. Additionally,these filters meet US EPA guidelines for bacteria removal to produce safe drinking water. The filters can last a couple of weeks,even up to a month,so the entire books could provide the tools to filter clean water for approximately a year.

   I hate to rain a little bit on this parade,but ... While it's a very clever idea,and it looks like a lot of work and effort has been put into designing and testing the Drinkable Book,sometimes the simplest ideas are best. Getting clean water instruction and water filters to people in need separately might still be the best and most cost-effective way to do things. Manuals with instructions printed in the local language would be very cheap to produce,and mass-produced water filters,which can use the same technology as the book,if that's the best,would probably be cheaper if they are not bound into nice-looking books.

25. What is the main function of the book?

   A. It can find water.

   B. It can store water.

   C. It can purify water.

   D. It can produce water.

26. The content in the book is mainly to .

   A. instruct readers   B. entertain readers   C. inspire readers   D. warn readers

27. What does the author think of the book?

   A. It is nearly useless.

   B. It is poorly designed.

   C. It is not very beautiful.

   D. It is not very economical.

28. Where is the text most probably taken froin?

   A. A book review. B. A personal diaiy.

   C. An advertisement. D. A science magazine.

   Scientists sometimes use placebos(安慰劑) to test the effectiveness of medicines. They give one group of people the real medicine and another group a placebo which looks exactly like the medicine but is not. It doesn’ t contain any healing elements(成分) .The people don't know which medicine they,re taking. The medicine has to produce better results than the placebo to prove its effectiveness. However,sometimes the people taking the placebo experience improvements in tAeir health. Scientists call this the “piacebo effect”.

   For years,researchers have studied the placebo effect in terms of physical health. However,the findings of a research team in Sweden have attracted people's attention. First the researchers showed a group of people unpleasant pictures and asked them to rank how they felt after seeing the pictures. They gave the highest number to the pictures that gave them the worst feelings. The researchers then gave the people a calming drug and told them that it would reduce their unpleasant feelings. When the team showed the pictures again,the people said they felt much calmer.

   The following day,the researchers showed the people unpleasant pictures again,but this time they gave them a placebo (it was nothing but salt and water) instead of the calming drug without telling them the truth. After taking the placebo,the people's ratings still changed. Their unpleasant feelings reduced by almost 30%.

   So does that mean doctors could use placebos to treat worry or anxiety? Dylan Evans,who has written books about the placebo effect,said ,“Doctors have a duty to care for their patients. But they also have a duty to tell the truth. Placebos seem to pull these two duties in opposite directions."

   Research on the placebo effect has focused on the relationship of mind and body. Many scientists think that a belief that something is helpful actually makes it become helpful. If a person expects a pill to do something,then possibly the body's own chemistry can cause effects similar to what medication might have caused. Increasingly,people are looking at ways of treating the “whole person” 一 not just the body.

25. According to Paragraph 1 ,placebos.

   A. are a kind of special medicine

   B. perform better than medicines

   C. make no difference to patients' general health

   D. are used to prove the effectiveness of medicines

26. What does the experiment conducted by the Swedish team tell us?

   A. Placebos can improve physical health.

   B. Placebos help change people's character.

   C. Placebos can reduce emotional discomfort.

   D. Placebos make people calmer than drugs do.

27. What's Dylan Evans,attitude towards the use of placebos for treating anxiety?

   A. Negative. B. Approving.

   C. Cautious. D. Uncaring.

28. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

   A. The body's own chemistry can be harmful.

   B. Doctors will focus more on treating the body.

   C. People's expectation influences their recovery.

   D. Mental health is more important than physical health.
