14．Daniel was born in New Orleans，LA．，in 1962，slow to walk and talk，and short．He was the tiniest in his class，but he developed a warm，outgoing nature and was popular with his peers（同齡人）．And he became skillful at sports．
Baseball gave him his earliest challenge．He was an excellent players in Little League．At graduation，the coach named Daniel the team's most valuable player．
His finest hour，though，came at a school science meeting．He entered an exhibit explaining how the circulatory system works．It was traditional，especially compared to（與…相比）the modern，computerized，blinking-light models entered by other students．My wife，Sara，felt embarrassed for him．
It turned out that the other kids had made their exhibits．As the judges went on their rounds，they found that these other kids couldn't answer their questions．Daniel answered every one．When the judges awarded the Albert Einstein Plague for the best exhibit，they gave it to him．
By the time Daniel left for college he stood six feet tall and weighed 170pounds．He was in superb condition，but he quit baseball for English literature．I was sorry that he would not develop his athletic talent，but proud that he had made such a satisfactory decision．
One day I told Daniel that the great failing in my life had been that I didn't take a year or two off to travel when I finished college．This is the best way，to my way of thinking，to broaden oneself．Once I had married and begun working，I found that the dream of living in another culture had disappeared．Daniel thought about this．After graduation，he worked as a waiter at college，a bike messenger and a house painter．With the money he earned，he had enough to go to Paris．
The night before he was to leave，I tossed in bed．I was trying to figure out something to say．Nothing came to mind．Maybe，I thought，it wasn't necessary to say anything．

13．EmpathyLast year，researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy，the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years．（31）BToday，people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs．
Jennifer Freed，a co-director of a teen program，has another explanation．Turn on the TV，and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect．（32）D
There are good reasons not to ollow those bad examples．Humans are socially related by nature．（33）G Researchers have also found that empthetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect．Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety，and fear．
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader．In fact，F(xiàn)reed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers．（34）F"Academics are important．But if you don't have emotional （情感的） intelligence，you won't be as successful in work or in your love life，"she says．
What's the best way to up your EQ （情商）？For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others．（35）C
To really develop empathy，you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a"sharing circle"with your family，or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter．

A．Everyone is different，and levels of empathy differ from person to person．
B．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said．
C．"One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，"Freed says．
D．Humans learn by example-and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic．
E．Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else-both what they think and how they feel．
F．Good social skills-including empathy-are a kind of"emotional intelligence"that will help you succeed in many areas of life．
GHaving relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships．

5．The story happened in Japan（61）where a house was redecorated and the wall inside a room was removed．The inside of the wall was hollow．When the owner of the house removed the wall，he saw a gecko（壁虎） inside the wall．Its tail was pinned by a nail（62）coming（come） through the wall from outside．
The owner was very curious why the gecko was still alive．Then the nail caught his eye．Goodness!It is the nail that was driven here ten years ago when the house was built!How amazing it is （63）forthe gecko to have lived in the wall in complete （64）darkness（dark） for ten years!
But on second thought，the curious house owner wondered how this gecko could live through ten years with its tail nailed down and being unable to go anywhere．So he tried to find out how this small creature could be fed．After a little while，there appeared another gecko with food in （65）itsmouth!What a shocking scene!For ten years，this little gecko had never failed to feed the （66）trapped（trap） one．

2．Did you hear what happened at yesterday's meeting？Can you believe it？If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your so-workers irresistible，you're hardly alone．But why are we drawn to gossip？
A new study suggests it's because the rumors are all about us．"Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve，promote，and protect the self，"writes a research team led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands．In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin，the researchers describe two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get．
The first featured 178 university undergraduates who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students．Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident in which a group members shared with them either positive or negative information about another group member's secret．They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements．Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip （"The information received made me think I can learn a lot from X"）； others measured its self-promotion value （"The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X"）．Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns （"The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group"）．
In the second experiment，122 undergraduates were assigned the role of"sales agent"at a major company．They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation，and were then asked about the emotions that information caused．They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to participants in the first experiment．
In each experiment，participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons．"Positive gossip has self-improvement value，"they write．"Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve one's own competence．"On the other hand，negative gossip has self-promotion value，because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride．"
In addition，the results"showed that negative gossip elicited self-protection concerns，"the researchers write．"Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk，as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future，which generates fear．"Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation（感覺），but it can be a motivating one．As researchers put it："Gossip conveniently provides individuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant others．"
 
58．Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers？A
A．We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves．
B．We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns．
C．We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others．
D．We are likely to learn lessons from others'mistakes．
59．According to the first experiment，which of the following shows self-promotion value？A
A．I've done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her．
B．I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about like Mary．
C．I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her．
D．I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary．
60．What's the critical difference of the second experiment compared with the first one？D
A．The identities of the participants．
B．The number of the participants studied．
C．The time during which the experiment lasted．
D．The role-play technique used in the experiment．
61．What role does"negative gossip"play according to the researchers？C
A．A fear killer     B．A motivator  C．A protector    D．A subject provider．

19．The technique can lead to new ways to produce medicines，the researchers from the universities of Istanbul and Hawaii hope．
As part of an effort to improve treatments for life-threatening illnesses，a team of scientists have created rabbits that glow（發(fā)光） in the dark．
Their efforts produced two rabbits out of a litter of eight that went from being a normal，fluffy white to glowing green in the dark．The rabbits were born at the University of Istanbul as part of a collaboration（合作） between scientists from universities in Turkey and Hawaii．
The rabbits glow to show that a genetic manipulation technique can work efficiently，though the specific color is more cosmetic than scientific．"The green is not important at all-it's just a marker to show the experiment can be done successfully，"said University of Hawaii associate professor Stefan Moisyadi．
To produce the glowing effect，researchers injected jellyfish DNA into a mother rabbit's embryos．Those altered embryos（胚胎）．Those altered embryos were then inserted back into the mother．Similar experiments have resulted in glowing cockroaches and cats．
Eventually，the researchers hope the technique can lead to new ways to produce medicines，Moisyadi said．"The final goal is to develop animals that act as barrier reactive to produce beneficial molecules in their milk that
can be cheaply extracted，especially in countries that can't afford big pharma plants that make drugs，that usually cost $1bn to build，and be able to produce their own protein-based medication in animals，"Moisyadi said．
The rabbits are expected to have the same life span as their non-glowing counterparts（副本），but Moisyadi said he understands people can object to this kind of experimentation involving live animals．
"To the people against，I say：think about，what are the benefits and what are the injuries？"Moisyadi said．"And if the benefits outweigh the injuries，let's go with the benefits．"
Moisyadi，a native of Turkey who is now with the University of Hawaii，started developing the project in 2006，and researchers are now waiting to see if pregnant sheep produce similar results．

21．Moisyadi's attitude towards this kind of experiment isC．
A．doubtful．
B．indifferent．
C．supportive．
D．objective．
22．How did glowing effect produce？D
A．It was just the result of genetic selection．
B．Put a light into a mother rabbit's embryos．
C．Injected glowing cats DNA into a mother rabbit's embryos．
D．Injected Jellyfish DNA into a mother rabbit's embryos．
23．The final goal of this research isD．
A．To make animals cuter．
B．To make nights brighter．
C．To produce all kinds of glowing animals．
D．To produce beneficial molecules in animals'milk．
24．What can we learn according to the passage？C
A．The life span of glowing rabbits is much shorter than that of non-glowing ones．
B．The glowing rabbits were born only at the University pf Hawaii．
C．Scientists have created glowing cockroaches and cats before．
D．Three rabbits out of eight can glow in the experiment．

3．Our environment isn't as green and beautiful as it should be．There are steel monsters blocking out the sun．blowing out dangerous smoke，and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers，cars producing harmful waste gas，people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet．Facing current environmental problems，people need to do their best to save the earth．
You cart see many big garbage dustbins in the streets．They're not there for a show，but for you to drop your waste．We should realize that what we do does count．So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window，or"accidentally"drop as you walk down the street，ask yourself how much waste you've been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years．
At home，the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps are not leaky（漏的），which would help greatly in scrimping．Another is to use energy-saving lights，and turn them off before you leave the rooms．It is not only energy-saving，but also cuts down electricity costs．
Recycling is a method to make items reusable．Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process．Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again．
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids．Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives，in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older．
With environmental protection awareness in mind，we can do what we can，for the results are to have a big effect on the planet．As long as we do our part，the world is one small step closer to being saved．

32．In the first paragraph the author uses"steel monsters"to refer toA．
A．big factories
B．high mountains
C．huge buildings
D．characters in fairy stories
33．From the fifth paragraph，we can know thatB．
A．wonderful life comes from environmental protection
B．protecting the environment should start from childhood
C．protecting the environment begins with small little things
D．protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
34．Which of the following is NOT true？D
A．To protect the environment may help you save some money．
B．Your bad habits for the environment are a harmful contribution．
C．The more people do their part，the greener the environment will be．
D．Selling what you don't want any more is not a kind of recycling．
35．The passage is mainly aboutB．
A．the use of garbage dustbins
B．how to save the environment
C．our present environmental problems
D．how to save water and electricity．
