2．An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56years has saved the lives of more than two million babies．
James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease，a form of severe anaemia．He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies，including his own daughter，Tracey，who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood．
Mr．Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18years old and has now racked up a total of 984donations．When he started donating，his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars．
He was also nicknamed the"man with the golden arm"or the"man in  two million"．He said："I've never thought about stopping．Never．"He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13litres of blood．"I was in hospital for three months，"he said．"The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18．"
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood．At the time，thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease．Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition．The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood．It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative．
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D．After his blood type was discovered，Mr．Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine．"They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of，"he said．"I wasn't scared．I was glad to help．I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away．"
Mr．Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood．It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women．It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease．
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2million babies so far．Mr．Harrison is still donating every few weeks now．

Tucson，Arizona
A seeming paradise that claims to have 350sunny days a year，Tucson boasts geological beauty and hiking so fantastic that visitors can be tempted into a false sense of security．Be warned：Get prepared for the heat as it isn't unusual for temperatures to rise higher than 110°F （43°C） in summer months，when the rocks can hold that heat well into the evening hours．Even your hunting dog will get sunburned

7．Clean your ears，because airport security might soon be scanning them．According to a recent discovery，the shape of ears could provide a reliable new way of identifying people at airports．
Researchers discovered that ears of each person have a unique shape and they have created a system that can scan them．The ear scanning technique uses a technology called image ray transform that highlights all the tubular structures （結(jié)構(gòu)） of the ear and measures them．Professor Mark Nixon，a computer scientist who led the team from the University of Southampton，believes ear scanning could take place as passengers walk through security gates，for example，by placing cameras on either side to record an image of their ears．Comparing the results against a database of ear shapes，the new system could help airport security workers instantly identify passengers．
Nixon and his team tested 252 images of different ears and found the system was able to match each ear to a separate image held in its database with 99 percent accuracy．
Besides ear scanning，there have been other systems developed for identity recognition．
"With facial recognition，the systems are often confused by crows feet （魚尾紋） and other signs of ageing，"Nixon said．"Your ears，however，age very gracefully．They grow proportionally （按比例） and your lobe （耳垂） gets a bit larger，but otherwise your ears are fully formed from birth．"What's more，facial recognition software is often confused by changes in expression so people need to control their faces and in some cases even avoid wearing make-up．
An ear scan system would also offer a less invasive alternative to retina （視網(wǎng)膜） scanning，which requires passengers to stare at scanners from a close range．
Fingertip detection has long been the most effective way of identifying someone．Nixon expects there to be a combination of different techniques that can be used at the same time to identify a person．"
56．The ear scanning system would help to find outC
A．where you come from                          
B．whether you are healthy
C．who you are                                                       
D．who shares your ear shape
57．The article does not sayD．
A．who developed the system                            
B．how the system works
C．where the system can be applied                
D．how long the system took to develop
58．Ear scanning would work better than facial recognition mainly becauseB
A．the ear scanning system is computerized 
B．ears change less with age than faces
C．facial expressions are often the same                 
D．facial appearances aren't unique
59．The underlined word"invasive"in the last but one paragraph possibly means"D"．
A．comfortable          
B．expensive                 
C．disappointing                 
D．a(chǎn)nnoying
60．Nixon has developed the ear scanning system while there's already the fingertip detection becauseC．
A．ear scanning can be used at airports                  
B．fingertip detection is not so convenient
C．he doesn't think one system is enough      
D．ear shapes are easier to read than fingerprints．

14．Promotion at work can be good for the pocket．However，it can also be very risky for a person's mental health，according to British researchers from the University of Warwick in Coventry．
The new findings go strongly against the common belief that advancement in a career can result in better health because of an increased sense of self-confidence，life control and overall well-being（幸福感）．"Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people may think．Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion and goes beyond merely a short-term change in a way，"said Chris Boyce，the researcher of the University of Warwick．He also added that they could not find any health benefits in individuals who had had job promotions．Instead，these people don't go to hospital to have health checks as often as they should，which may be something to worry about rather than celebrate．
To find out whether there is a connection between job advancement and physical health，Boyce and his team used data from the British Household Panel Survey．The data contained information on nearly 1，000 recently promoted individuals in the United Kingdom．And the data contained information on many aspects of life，including work and self-reported health．After analyzing all the available information，they discovered that there was no evidence of improved physical health after a job promotion．
However，what the researchers did find was evidence of greater mental stress．The experts found that promotion gives people，on average，10 percent more mental stress and up to 20 percent less time to visit their doctors in the event of illness．Matt Smith，a Scottish health expert，said mental stress is caused by working long hours．He said，"When someone is promoted there might be even more pressure to work longer hours and therefore they can't afford the time to care about their health．"
63．According to the text we can learn that work promotionD．
A．is traditionally believed to be harmful to people's health
B．decreases people's self-confidence and happiness
C．gives people more chances to have health checks
D．can help raise people's income to some extent
64．The underlined word"deteriorates"in the second paragraph means"becomesD"．
A．satisfying     B．doubtful      C．optimistic    D．worse
65．What do we know from Boyce's research？A
A．It analyzed many aspects of the promoted individuals'lives．
B．It surveyed 1，000 people in the world．
C．It showed how people gained work promotion．
D．It proved that work promotion may lead to a short-term change in health．
66．From the last paragragh we can learn thatA．
A．people who are promoted suffer from increased mental stress
B．the work after promotion will take up 20 percent of people's leisure time
C．promoted individuals tend to pay more attention to their health
D．poor health condition makes promoted individuals feel stressed
67．What is the best title for this text？B
A．Work Promotion Helps Increase Self-Confidence
B．Work Promotion Is Actually Bad for One's Health
C．Work Promotion Means Having to Work Harder
D．Work Promotion Brings Wealth and Health．

11．What is the single largest cause of sick leave in the UK？The answer is not the common cold or flu，but back pain．Back pain affects one in three British adults，cost the country over￡5 billion every year and is obviously difficult to treat．
But now Britain's National Health Service （NHS） will be offering a new solution：acupuncture （針灸法）．
The ancient Chinese needle therapy has been around in the UK for many years，but for the first time it has been officially supported by the NHS'advisory body，the National Institute for Clinic Excellence （NICE）．
Traditionally，doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active，do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary．In more serious cases some people are given X-rays treatment or injections with therapeutic substances．
NICE，however，says there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections，to patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given acupuncture treatments．
As an alternative to acupuncture，patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation （脊柱推拿） or a series of special sessions．
In the UK，acupuncture is classified as a complementary （輔助的） therapy，which is the term given to a medical procedure which hasn't been subjected to the strict trials by which scientists prove some treatment work．
While many experts have welcomed the move to make acupuncture available on the NHS，some are still skeptical about its effectiveness．
Research from the US earlier this month found that simulated acupuncture using toothpicks which do not pierce the skin could be as good as using real needles．
So while some are yet to be convinced，back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps them feel healthy and mobile again．Employers，on the other hand，will be hoping it gets them back to work．
64．What can be the best title for the passage？A
A．Acupuncture m the UK
B．The largest cause of sick leave．
C．The ancient Chinese medicine
D．Different ways to treat back pain．
65．According to NICE，which of the following ways is more effective to treat back pain？B
A．To take painkillers                                                 
B．To use the Chinese needle therapy
C．To take X-ray treatment or injections
D．To stay active and do stretching exercises
66．Which of the following statements about acupuncture is TRUE？C
A．Doctors can use needles or toothpicks to perform acupuncture．
B．Patients taking acupuncture have to take a course of spinal manipulation．
C．Patients suffering back pain for a long time are more advised to use acupuncture．
D．Acupuncture costs less money and has lower effects than X-rays or injections
67．Why is acupuncture classified as a complementary therapy in the UK？D
A．It is not strict in the treatment
B．Some British don't have trust in it
C．The main British treatment is very effective
D．Its medical procedure hasn't been strictly tested scientifically．
