    Attempts to understand the relationship between social behavior and health have their origin in history. Dubos (1969) suggested that primitive（原始的）humans were closer to the animals because they, too, relied upon their instincts to stay healthy. Yet some primitive humans recognized a cause and effect relationship between doing certain things and alleviating（减轻）symptoms of a disease or improving the condition of a wound. Since there was so much that primitive humans did not understand about the functioning of the body, magic became an integral component of the beliefs about the causes and cures of health disorders. So it is not surprising that early humans thought that illness was caused by evil spirits. Primitive medicines made from vegetables or animals were invariably used in combination with some form of ritual (礼仪) to drive harmful spirits away from a diseased body.
    One of the earliest attempts in the Western world to formulate principles of health care based upon rational thought and rejection of supernatural phenomena is found in the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates. Little is known of Hippocrates who lived around 400 B.C., not even whether he actually authored the collection of books that bears his name. Nevertheless, the writings attributed to him have provided a number of principles underlying modern medical practice. One of his most famous contributions, the Hippocratic Oath, is the foundation of contemporary medical ethics (道德). Among other things, it requires a physician to swear that he or she will help the sick, keep oneself from intentional wrong-doing or harm, and keep secret all matters to keep the doctor-patient relationship.
    Hippocrates also argued that medical knowledge should be derived（源自于）from an understanding of the natural sciences and the logic of cause and effect relationships. In this classic thesis, On Airs, Waters, and Places, Hippocrates pointed out that human-being is influenced by the totality of environmental factors: living habits or lifestyle, climate, geography of the land, and the quality of air and food. Interesting enough, concerns about our health and the quality of air, water, and places are still very much written in the twentieth century.
    小题1:The topic of the first paragraph is summarized in ________.
    A．the first sentence of the paragraph
    B．the second sentence of the paragraph
    C．the third sentence of the paragraph
    D．the last sentence of the paragraph
    小题2:Why did primitive humans rely on magic in their beliefs about the causes and cures of diseases?
    A．Because magic was an inseparable part of their life.
    B．Because they had little knowledge about the functioning of the body.
    C．Because the diseases were caused by the evil spirits.
    D．Because magic must be used in going through the rituals to drive out the evil spirits.
    小题3:Considering Hippocrates’ background, we can see from the second paragraph that ________.
    A．he was the forefather of modern medicine
    B．experts are sure that the books bearing his name were not written by him
    C．he had a rational mind aided by supernatural instincts

    Mulch is a protective cover of material that is spread on top of soil.It is usually made out of organic material, like crop waste.Farmers may keep the remains of maize or other crops on top of the soil.This creates mulch on the soil surface.The plant remains help protect the soil against wind and water damage.Mulching is one of the best things people can do for their plants.It also helps keep the soil from getting dry, and reduces the need for watering plants.It also limits temperature changes in the soil.And it stops unwanted plants, or weeds，from growing.
    Organic mulch improves the condition of soil.As the mulch breaks down, it provides material which keeps the soil from getting hard.This improves the growth of roots and increases the movement of water through the soil.It also improves the ability of the soil to hold water. Organic mulch contains nutrients for plants.It also provides a good environment for earthworms and other helpful organisms in the soil.
    It is easy to find organic mulch materials.Cut­up leaves and small pieces of tree bark can be used.Grass cuttings are also a good mulch for plants. Mulch from newspapers works well in controlling weeds.
    The best time to add mulch depends on your goal.Mulch provides a thick barrier between the soil and the air.This helps to reduce temperature changes in the soil. As a result，mulched soil will be cooler than other soil in the summer.In winter, the mulched soil may not freeze as deeply as other soil.The best time is after the ground has frozen, but before the coldest weather arrives.Spreading mulch before the ground has frozen may attract small animals searching for a warm place to spend the winter.Delaying the spreading should prevent this problem.The animals will probably find another place to live.
    小题1:The author tells us the following EXCEPT________.
    A．what mulch is and its benefits
    B．the best time to add mulch
    C．what can be mulched on the soil surface
    D．the bad effects of mulch
    小题2:The following can be used as organic materials to make mulch EXCEPT________.
    A．tree barksB．cut­up leaves
    C．grass cuttingsD．plastic
    小题3:Which of the following is the benefit of mulch?
    A．Protecting the soil against wind and water damage.
    B．Keeping the soil wet and reducing the need for watering plants.
    C．Reducing temperature changes in the soil and stopping unwanted weeds
    growing.
    D．All of the above.
    小题4:The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that organic mulch can________.
    A．improve the condition of soil
    B．improve the ability of the soil to hold water
    C．provide a good environment for earthworms
    D．improve the growth of roots and increase the movement of water through the
    soil
    小题5:From the last paragraph, we know ________.
    A．the best time to add mulch is in spring and summer
    B．the best time to add mulch is after the coldest weather arrives
    C．the best time to add mulch depends on weather
    D．choosing the best time to add mulch can avoid attracting small animals

      How would you like to teach yourself, rather than have teachers? According to the UK’s Department of Education and Skills, students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers.
    Estelle Morris, the UK Education Secretary, opened the 2002 Education Technology Conference in London recently. To start the conference, she presented a video showing a computer—generated model of the school of tomorrow.
    Greater use of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning, Morris said. She added that this is a more exciting as well as a more interesting way of learning.
    At the same time, teachers will be “freed from their traditional role as the source of all knowledge”.
    Children of all abilities will “form the curriculum(课程)around their individual needs.” They will “learn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment”.
    At home or at school, they will follow their learning programmes by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts.
    Instead of going on field trips, students will use virtual reality. If they don’t understand something, they can ask other students—“take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs”—or e-mail their teachers. They will hand in their work electronically to be “auto-marked”.
    The classroom of the future is fast becoming a reality.
    And the Department of Education will soon produce a guide to help schools adapt buildings for new technology, Morris said. These ideas are based on the UK government’s plan to create an education system that provides students with a strong grounding of knowledge and skills at primary school level. And provides the chance for students to develop their individual skills at secondary school level.
    小题1:According to the UK’s Department of Education and Skills, the school of the future will ______.
    A．cause more problems such as being able to find enough teachers
    B．set no homework and no tests for students
    C．make good use of the computer technology and classroom assistants
    D．enable students to learn by themselves without teachers
    小题2:Estelle Morris thinks that computer technology does good to teachers in ________.
    A．helping students develop their own way of learning
    B．enabling students to experience interesting and exciting ways of learning
    C．providing students with knowledge of all sorts
    D．not being considered the source of various knowledge
    小题3: If the students do not understand something, they can _______.
    A．go on a field trip
    B．go to ask their teachers to help them
    C．send e-mail to ask for a teacher’s help
    D．have a look at other learners’ homework
    小题4: If s a student is under the UK’s newly-developed education system,he will be ________.
    A．provided with a basic knowledge from the beginning
    B．given more knowledge at primary school level
    C．helped to use computers better
    D．supplied chance to develop their basic skills

    Boredom and Creativity
    Most of us think of being bored at work as a negative experience, but a new study suggests it can have positive results including an increase in creativity because it gives us time to daydream.
    That is the finding of Dr. Sandi Mann from the University of Central Lancashire. Dr. Mann conducted two studies. In the first experiment, 40 people were asked to carry out a boring task. They were told to copy numbers out of a telephone directory for 15 minutes. After that they were asked to complete another task. A pair of cups were given to each of them. Everyone tried to come up with different uses of the cups, and was given a chance to display their creativity. Meanwhile, another group of 40 people were just asked to come up with uses for the cups without doing any boring tasks before. It turned out that the 40 people who had first copied out the telephone numbers were more creative than the control group(对照组).
    To see if daydreaming was a factor in this effect, a second boring task was introduced that allowed even more daydreaming than the boring writing task. This second study saw 30 people copying out the numbers as before, but also included a second group of 30 reading rather than writing them.
    Again the researchers found that the people in the control group were least creative, but the people who had just read the names were more creative than those who had to write them out. This suggests that more passive boring activities, like reading or perhaps attending meetings, can lead to more creativity. Compared with reading, writing reduced the scope（范围） for daydreaming. As a result, it reduces the  effects of boredom on creativity.
    Dr. Mann says: “Boredom at work has always been seen as something to be avoided, but perhaps we should accept it in order to promote our creativity. What we want to do next is to see what the practical implications of this finding are. Do people who are bored at work become more creative in other areas of their work -- or do they go home and write novels?”  
    小题1:Who proved to be the most creative in the two studies?
    A．The people who attended meetings.
    B．The people who did the reading task.
    C．The people who invented uses for cups.
    D．The people who copied telephone numbers.
    小题2:The studies conducted by Dr. Mann indicate that creativity results from _______.
    A．creative tasks
    B．controlled activities
    C．the range of daydreaming
    D．reading and writing ability
    小题3:What is Dr. Mann’s attitude towards boredom at work?
    A．Positive.
    B．Skeptical.
    C．Subjective.
    D．Disapproving.
    小题4:What will Dr. Mann probably continue to research in their study?
    A．The real causes of creativity.
    B．The actual use of boredom.
    C．The practical reasons of boredom.
    D．The writing ability improved by boredom.

    A wave of recent research has pointed to the risks of over praising a child. And it seems that how to draw a line between too little praise and too much has become a high-pressure _  _act for parents.
    Self-esteem (自尊)  serves as a kind of tool to measure how much children feel valued and accepted by     . This sensitivity to others'      develops because of humans' need for social acceptance, which is considered to be      to survival. As early as age 8, children's self-esteem tends to rise and fall in response to feedbacks about      peers see them as likable or attractive.     , it can also be beneficial for kids to feel bad about themselves occasionally, if they behave in selfish, mean or hurtful ways that might      their ability to maintain relationships or hold a job in the future.
    In the past, many parents and educators believed that high self-esteem      happiness and success, and kids could gain self-esteem simply by getting      and awards from their parents, teachers and people around. But recently researchers have found self-esteem doesn't  _   these desired results. Instead, if parents praise their kids     , their self-esteem becomes focused on being very smart and being the best and being perfect. Building too much self-esteem of the children can not go as planned, making them feel      later on when they hit setbacks (挫折).
    According to some experts, it can actually be good for kids to have      self-esteem, at least once in a while. And praise can be      if it disregards the world outside the home. Children who have a      understanding of how they are seen by others tend to get recovered more readily      disappointment, depression or the like. The best path is a      road, helping children develop a positive but      view of themselves in relation to others by praising them for the      they invest and behaviors they are able to sustain, like "It's      that you're working so hard on your homework.

    The world's largest solar thermal plant(太阳热能发电站)is set to begin producing power in the United States by the end of the year. Wind and energy from the sun are generally considered clean, unlike energy from coal-burning power stations. However, environmentalists now worry that too much solar power development could harm the local environment.
    A California company — BrightSource Energy is building a huge solar power plant in the Mojave desert, about 60 kilometers southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. The plant is known as the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System. Joe Desmond works for the company. "This is actually one of the highest concentrations of sunlight in the world, out here in Ivanpah." explained Desmond. BrightSource Energy will deploy 170,000 specially de­signed mirrors to direct solar energy towards boilers on top of three power towers. The steam produced in the boilers will drive turbine (涡轮) to make electricity. Joe Desmond says the steam can reach temperatures of more than 260 degrees Celsius. "We can store the sun's thermal energy in the form of molten salt, so we can produce electricity even when the sun goes down. There is a lot of interest in concentrating solar power around the globe in environmnents where you have lots of sun, such as China, South Africa, the Mid­dle East, North Africa, explained Desmond.
    Environmentalists generally support the idea of solar power, however, many are concerned about the effect of power plants on sensitive environment. Lisa Belenky is a lawyer with the Center for Biological Diversity, a private group. She says environmentalists are specifically worried about the effect of the Ivanpah Solar Project on the sensitive plant and animal life in that part of Mojave desert. "Even though the desert seems big, when you start cutting it up, it can really affect how the species and the animals and the plants are able to survive in the long run,"said Lisa Belenky. BrightSource Energy has already spent more than $ 50 million to move endangered desert tortoises away from the power plant. but Lisa Belenky says this is not the answer. "We should be reusing areas that have a1ready been disturbed, like old mining sites, for example...either on homes, on businesses, parking lots." said Belenky.
    There have also been reports of birds dying at the Ivanpah Plant and others like it.
    Some birds die after colliding with solar equipment which the animals mistake for water. Other birds were killed or suffered burns after flying through the intense heat at the solar thermal plant. As solar projects increase, environmentalists and developers are considering what to do to reduce bird death.
    小题1:Why is the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System being built in the desert?
    A．Because the temperature is extremely high in the desert.
    B．Because there is no life in the desert.
    C．Because there is much salt in the desert.
    D．Because sunlight is highly focused in the desert.
    小题2:Why can the plant make electricity at night?
    A．Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored in the form of steam.
    B．Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored in the form of molten salt.
    C．Because the sun'ss thermal energy can be stored through mirrors
    D．Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored in the boilers.
    小题3:According to Lisa Belenky, in order to reduce the effect,_____.
    A. we should move all the plants and animals away from the solar plant
    B. we should guide the bird not to hit the solar plant
    C we should build the solar plant in disturbed areas
    D. we should build the solar plant in the desert
    小题4:The author’s attitude towards the solar projects is _____.
    A．supportiveB．critical C．indifferentD．cautious

    Most people know that awkward feeling when you walk into an elevator with other people and try not to make eye contact(接触). But a new research suggests it may be down to a subconscious power struggle being played out as you make your way up and down.
    A study found that people decide where they stand based on a micro social status，established within seconds of entering the lift.
    Rebekah Rousi．a Ph. D．student in cognitive(认知)science，conducted an ethnographic(人种论)
    Study of elevator behaviour in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide，Australia.As part of her research，she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings，and discovered .There was an established order to where people tended to stand
    In a blog she writes that more senior men seemed to direct themselves towards the back of the elevator She said：“In front of them were younger men，and in front of them were women of aII ages.”She also notice there
    was a difference in where people directed their gaze(注视)half way through the ride．“Men watched the monitors，looked in the side mirrors(in one building)to see themseIves．And in the door mirrors(of the other building)to also watch others Women would watch the monitors and avoid eye contact with other users(unless in conversation)and the mirrors，”she writes．
    She concluded it could be that people who are shyer stand toward the front，where they can’t see other passengers，whereas confident people stand in the back，where they have a  view of everyone else.

    One Monday morning, Paul and his classmates were in science laboratory for their practical chemistry lesson. The students were going to work in pairs to do an experiment. Before they began, the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment.
    Stage 1: Prepare the equipment: a test tube, a crucible, a Bunsen burner and tongs.
    Stage 2: Weigh 5 grams of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and put it in a crucible.
    Stage 3: Heat 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (盐酸) in a test tube.
    Stage 4: Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture.
    Result: The acid reacts with the bicarbonate（碳酸氢盐）to form water, carbon dioxide gas and salt. The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates, leaving the salt in the crucible.
    Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment. Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution.
    He measured the liquid and poured it into a test tube. Using tongs to hold the test tube, he heated it over the Bunsen burner. That’s when things started to go wrong. The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid. When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.
    All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. The teacher immediately opened the windows and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once. She realized that the liquid was a crylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous.
    Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson.
    小题1:What lesson did the incident teach the students and the teacher?
    A．Never have a bottle without a label in the chemistry lab!
    B．Obey your teacher’s instructions in the Chemistry lab.
    C．A crylamide can’t take the place of hydrochloric acid.
    D．Finding something unusual happened, you have to leave the laboratory at once.
    小题2:What substance were the students making in the experiment?
    A．WaterB．Carbon dioxide gasC．SaltD．Poisonous gas
    小题3:Why did Paul make the mistake?
    A．He went to the cupboard to get the bottle by himself.
    B．He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that.
    C．There was no label on the bottle.
    D．Paul didn’t check with the teacher that it was the right solution.
    小题4:Why did the teacher send the students out of the classroom?
    A．Becausethe room was full of this strong smelling white gas.
    B．Because all the students started coughing and their eyes hurt.
    C．Becausethe liquid was a crylamide and that it is poisonous.
    D．Because someone was injured in the incident.

    A kitchen that gives step-by-step cooking instructions in French could inspire a revolution in language learning in the UK. By using a new technology, it speaks to you as you prepare a French dish. The kitchen breaks new ground by taking language learning out of the classroom and linking it with an enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity.
    The new kitchen is designed to be used in schools, universities and even people’s homes. It could also be an existing kitchen. The first version of the technology was tested in the kitchens of project partner Newcastle University. The kitchen could be available for schools and universities, and for the UK market by the June of 2014.
    The Newcastle University team is now working on ways to put it on the market. And the European Union has given money to begin programs in six other languages, including English Italian and Spanish. Finally, versions could be developed for any language cuisine（烹饪法）in the world.
    Professor Paul says, “By international standards, the UK students are now poor when it comes to learning languages—a problem that certainly has an economic influence. We believe that developing skills in a country’s language and its cuisine will help change the trend.”
    On a computer fixed into the kitchen, the user first selects the French recipe（菜谱）they want to follow. Digital sensors built into dishes, containers and other equipment then communicate with the computer to make sure the right instructions are given at the right time, the user can ask the computer to repeat an instruction, or translate it into English, simply by pressing the touch screen. After cooking, the user can test what they have learned by carrying out a short test on the computer.
    All grammar and vocabulary has been carefully selected to make sure that using the kitchen adds to basic proficiency（熟练）in understanding French.
    Now three easy-carrying versions of the kitchen are being prepared. They’re to be fixed in Newcastle University and at Institute Francais, a London-based charity devoted to teaching the French language.
    小题1:The new kitchen is designed mainly to __________.
    A．increase people’s interest in cooking
    B．teach people how to cook French dishes
    C．offer people a new way to learn languages
    D．help cooks learn spoken French in the kitchen
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE about the kitchen?
    A．It has versions in six languages now.
    B．It is already available for sale in the UK.
    C．It has received strong support from the EU.
    D．It can be used only in schools and university.
    小题3:When a person is using the kitchen, ___________.
    A．it will give him a test on his cooking skills
    B．it can translate French into another language
    C．the cooking process will stop if he goes wrong
    D．he must be careful so as not to make mistakes
    小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
    A．UK students have problems in language learning.
    B．New technology helps students learning cooking.
    C．An enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity.
    D．A Talking Kitchen That Teaches You French.
