    Lots of people give you advice on overcoming fear. 1. However, I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. So we want to treat fear as a friend? Here are three reasons.

    2. Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of your dreams? Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends? 3. If you didn't have fear to guide you, you might not know that! Not so bad, right?

    Next, fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action. In the past, our ancestors didn't run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food. Now, most of us don't face serious danger like hungry tigers every day, but we do face serious bosses or public speaking. So, what can we do? 4.

    Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters? 5. Same for horror movies.

    So fear can guide you towards what's important for you and encourage you to take action to improve. Don't we all need that kind of friend?

    A. The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.

    B. They frighten us in a mostly safe way.

    C. Imagine what life would be like without fear.

    D. Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done.

    E. Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you.

    F. Don't fear to be wrong.

    G. They say if you can overcome fear, you will be successful.

    Experiments aboard the spaceship Columbia have disproved a theory on the human nervous system which won an Austrian professor a Nobel prize 79 years ago.

    West German astronaut Ulf Merbold disproved the theory during tests aboard the spaceship yesterday. His discovery is connected with the workings of the inner ear, the body’s balance mechanism(机制).

    In l914 Professor Robert Barany won the Nobel prize for Physiology(生理学) and Medicine when he announced that temperature differences affected the inner ear and caused the eyes to blink(眨眼). His theory was accepted by scientists.

    But Merbold carried out tests to find if the theory was correct and shocked himself and space officials when he proved it wrong.

    According to Barany’s theory the eyes would blink when cold air was blown into one ear and hot air blown into the other.

    But if this theory was correct such a movement would be impossible in zero gravity(重力）.

    Both Merbold’s eyes continually blinked when the test was carried out.

    1.Tests were carried out in outer space in order to _______.

    A. find what causes the eyes to blink

    B. shock the world

    C. win the prize

    D. prove the theory

    2.Barany’s theory declared to prove _______.

    A. how our hearing mechanism works

    B. why we constantly move our eyes

    C. that eye movement is affected by temperature

    D. how hearing reacts(反应)

    3.Barany’s theory was proved incorrect in space by the effects of _______.

    A. having no weight B. having no air

    C. the pull of gravity D. hot and cold air streams

    Exercise seems to be good for the human brain，with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills．But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect — that is，if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise，do our brains respond accordingly？The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives．
    While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits，recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect．So researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to focus on expectations，on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking．If people’s expectations jibe (吻合) closely with the actual benefits，then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise．
    For the new study，which was published last month in PLOS One，the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system，they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸运动) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking．The other volunteers were asked the same questions，but about a regular walking program．
    In actual experiments，stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on people’s cognitive skills．Walking，on the other hand，seems to substantially improve thinking ability．
    But the survey respondents believed the opposite，estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking．The estimates of benefits from walking were lower．
    These data，while they do not involve any actual exercise，are good news for people who do exercise．“The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart，a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University，who led the study．
    If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise，Mr．Stothart said，then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching．They didn’t，implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine．
    The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may，in the process，improve thinking，Mr．Stothart said． That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how，at a molecular level，exercise remodels the human brain，he said． It also should encourage the rest of us to move，since the benefits are，it seems，not imaginary，even if they are in our head．
    1.Which of the following about the placebo effect is TRUE according to the passage？
    A． It occurs during exercise．
    B． It has cognitive benefits．
    C． It is just a mental reaction．
    D． It is a physiological response．
    2.Why did the researchers at the two universities conduct the research？
    A． To discover the placebo effect in the exercise．
    B． To prove the previous studies have a big drawback．
    C． To test whether exercise can really improve cognition．
    D． To encourage more scientists to get involved in the research．
    3.What can we know about the research Cary Stothart and his team carried out？
    A． They employed 171 people to take part in the actual exercise．
    B． The result of the research removed the recent doubt of some scientists．
    C． The participants thought walking had a greater impact on thinking ability．
    D． Their conclusion drives scientists to do research on the placebo effect．
    4.What might be the best title for the passage？
    A． Is it necessary for us to take exercise？
    B． How should people exercise properly？
    C． What makes us smarter during exercise？
    D． Does exercise really make us smarter？

    CANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKETHIS? Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought．Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way．The lack of punctuation marks probably didn’t bother good readers, though．As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best．Also at this time, sentences switched directions．A sentence read from left to right．The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc． The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They put something that can separate words in a sentence．The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word punctum, which means a dot.

    When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points．The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading．Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation．He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence．He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause．Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma (逗号).

    Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family．The exclamation mark (感叹号) comes from the Latin word io．It means “exclamation of joy.” The question mark originally started out as the Latin word questio, meaning question．Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question.

    Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays．New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways．Take for example the “interrobang”．This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both．For example, “She did what?” or “How much did you pay for that dress?” Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.

    1.From the first paragraph, we can know that _______.

    A． good readers had trouble reading without punctuation marks

    B． a sentence always read from left to right in ancient Greece

    C． ancient Greeks switched the direction of punctuation marks

    D． the use of punctuation marks can date back to ancient times

    2.The passage is developed _______.

    A． by time B． by space

    C． by comparison D． by importance

    3.We can learn from the passage that _______.

    A． ancient Romans didn’t use any punctuation marks

    B． exclamation and question marks came from Latin

    C． spaces and slashes were already used before the 5th century

    D． Aldus Manutius first started to use commas

    4.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

    A． The combination of two marks will not work.

    B． It takes time for people to accept new punctuation marks.

    C． Old punctuation marks need to be standardized.

    D． Punctuation marks are still changing today.
