A new study has been carried to test the role of story telling in lowering blood pressure. Dr. Thomas Houston, a professor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, led a group of scientists that researched how pre-recorded videos of hypertension (高血壓) patients' talking about their medical histories helped another group of patients with high blood pressure to control their condition over several months.

   Houston was surprised by their studies that suggested that communication can be a powerful tool in medicine. They showed that those who had had similar experiences, when talking to someone with a similar background, could help change their behavior to become healthier. Hypertension is difficult to control, since it is dependent on diet, exercise and mental state. Medical treatments with drugs, and lifestyle therapies(療法) have been relatively ineffective because people find it hard to follow those medical requirements.

   In the test, his team carefully chose their story-tellers from 230 members of a patients' community with whom they could most easily relate. Next, they divided their study population into two groups. One received three interactive DVDs containing the tellers' stories of their experiences in living with and treating their hypertension. The other were given educational discs on an unrelated health topic. The study volunteers reported that they had listened to the DVDs, and after three months, those who heard the stories of the hypertensive patients lowered their blood pressure.

  While the study did not address how the story-telling influenced the patients' behavior, Houston doubts that watching patients of similar backgrounds who had a similar medical experience helped to motivate them to seek medical help to their hypertension. They found that after six months the difference in blood pressure between those who watched the story-tellers and those who observed the unrelated videos remained, suggesting that the story-telling continued to have an effect.

We can learn from the text that the pre-recorded videos _________.

   A. tell medical histories of hypertension patients

   B. introduce some medical treatments of hypertension

   C. introduce a good lifestyle for hypertensive patients

   D. tell scientific discoveries of the scientist group

Houston was surprised to find that _______.

   A. hypertension is really difficult to control      

B. communication has some medical effects

   C. medical treatments have no effect at all    

D. people don't follow the medical requirements

The underlined word "address" in the last paragraph most probably means _______.

   A. persuade   B. observe     C. attend    D. announce

Which of the following could be the best title of the text?

   A. The stories of some hypertension patients. 

 B. Medical treatments of blood pressure.

   C. Storytelling may help lower blood pressure.

  D. Suggestions about how to lower blood pressure.

Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil(不存在), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne(升空的).
Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.
Choose larger aircraft
Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply(遵守)with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in t he unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem repetitious(重復(fù)的), but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you’ve flown before, it doesn’t mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.
Store things safely
Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence(氣流).
Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this, but it’s important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.
【小題1】Whom is the passage meant for?

A.Pilots.B.Flight attendants.C.Passengers.D.Airlines.
【小題2】The underlined word “those” in the second tip refers to”______” .
A.smaller planesB.passengersC.larger aircraftsD.safety records
【小題3】What does the author really mean by saying “Cabin crew always tells you this, but it’s important.” In the 5th tip?
A.Many people don’t pay enough attention to fastening their seat belt.
B.All passengers are glad to accept the crew’s advice.
C.The crew are very responsible.
D.There is no need to remind people to fasten their seat belt.
【小題4】Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A.Larger planes have more safety checks and are safer.
B.Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.
C.Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.
D.Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.
【小題5】The best title of the passage should be”_____”.
A.The safest way to travelB.Air safety tips
C.Non-stop routesD.How to fly a plane

Finding the right school for your child is a process. You will want to read about the school, talk to any friends who are involved in the school and, most important of all, visit the school.
The first step in finding out about Indian Creek is to request an information packet. We will be happy to send you a packet containing a brochure(小冊子), the fee structure and an application. The packet should answer most of your general questions about the school.
In order to get a true sense of Indian Creek School, you should come for an Admission Tour, which includes a personal meeting focusing on your child, a tour of the building and the classrooms, and a discussion of the curriculum(課程).
This visit is no less important if the child for whom you are seeking admission is a teenager than if he or she is a three-year-old one. Every school has a different “school climate.” If you visit two or three schools, you will notice that each “feels” different. You know your child best and you will quickly develop a sense of whether a school is the right match or not.
●The initial point of entry for Indian Creek Students is at the pre-kindergarten level for three year olds.
●Children must be three years old by August 31st.
●We also have major points of entry from grade six to grade nine. At each of these levels, we open new sections and accept students in addition to those moving up from our own lower grades.
●There are scattered(零散的) openings available throughout the program due to attrition(學(xué)生流失). Once an opening occurs, students spend a day at ICS, part of which includes admission testing.
【小題1】 You can NOT get to know about ICS by ________.

A.getting an information packet
B.taking an admission tour
C.a(chǎn)sking friends involved in ICS
D.taking an admission test
【小題2】 During the Admission Tour, you can ________.
A.having a meeting with the children
B.decide on the design of the classrooms
C.talk with the school about the courses
D.choose the weather suitable for study
【小題3】 Which of the following is NOT accepted for ICS when there is no attrition?
A.A boy who will be 3 years old by July.
B.A fifth grader originally studying in ICS.
C.An eighth grader from another school.
D.A fourth grader from another school.
