    　For almost forty years the Empire State Building in New York City was the world's tallest skyscraper（摩天大楼）. The building reaches a height of 1, 250 feet. It has 102 floors. The use of steel frames made its height possible. Steel walls can rise height without needing to be thick. Steel frame construction is strong. All plates are fixed firmly together by metal bolts（螺栓）called rivets （铆钉）. When set in place, rivets are usuall red- hot. One end is already rounded. A riveter uses a special hammer to shape the other end. Then the rivet cools. It holds the plates firmly. High winds can move this strong building. A wind of a hundred miles an hour has caused it to move almost one and a half inches.

    Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.
    The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer — Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.
    Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius’ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
    Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16 800 for it.
    小题1:Over a century ago, Mauritius _______.
    A．was an independent country
    B．belonged to India

    It's killed at least two dozen people, damaged hundreds of homes, cost some 22 billion Yuan in direct economic losses so far and has left thousands of family-bound travelers stranded. The massive snow and ice storm that has swept through the southern part of China has put this country into full disaster management mode. Tens of thousands of soldiers have been activated and the government has already provided 126 million Yuan in aide to six provinces in the south slammed by the unexpected winter blast. But is enough being done? And what else can be done to ensure that the effects of natural disasters like the one in southern China are minimized in the future?
    “Ni hao, you're listening to People In the Know, your window into the world around you, online at www.crienglish.com here on China Radio International. In this edition of the show, we'll be talking about the southern China snow and ice storm. So let's get started.
    First, let's get a Chinese perspective of how well the ice and snow storm in southern China is being handled from a logistical point of view. For this we're joined on the line by Professor Peng Xizhe, Dean of the School of Social Development and Public Policy at Fudan University in Shanghai.

    Scientists are uncovering the secrets of two port cities lost under the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, a researcher said yesterday.
    Herakleion and Menouthis were rich and proud cities until something reduced them to rubble (碎石) and buried them in the mud beneath 30 feet of sea water, French underwater explorer Franck Goddio said at the American Geophysical Union conference.
    “This is a mystery that is ongoing,” said Goddio, a founder of the European Institute of Marine Archeology, a Paris-based underwater research organization backed by the wealthy Hilti Foundation of Liechtenstein(列支敦士登基金会).
    The destruction of the twin port cities has haunted Goddio ever since he happened upon the site about 15 miles from Alexandria while exploring sunken ships from Napoleon’s fleet.
    Goddio and his group of expert divers, marine archeologists(海洋考古学家) and others, are using high powered vacuums, satellite navigation systems and sophisticated sonar(声纳) to excavate(挖掘) the sunken cities from underneath a carpet of silt about one meter (three feet) high.
    Walls of shops, remains of streets and gold artifacts have been found and recovered.
    Some experts believe that the port cities were destroyed by a series of massive earthquakes, much like the quakes scientists believe felled Troy(特洛伊城), Jericho and other ancient cities. The uniform direction of the collapsed columns and walls suggest an earthquake, Goddio said, but no fault lines have been found nearby.
    Other researchers believe a massive wave, caused by either an offshore earthquake or a distant underwater landslide, could explain the catastrophe. Still others think rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the cities.
    “The argument, as you can see, continues,” Goddio said.
    小题1:The reason why the two port cities disappeared under the waters of Mediterranean Sea is that ______.
    A．the two port cities were destroyed by huge earthquakes
    B．the disappearance of the two port cities was caused by underwater landslide
    C．rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the cities
    D．the story didn’t tell us at all
    小题2: From the story we can draw a conclusion that _______.
    A．the two port cities were famous for their wealth and the mystery
    B．the two cities belonged to France
    C．some mysterious creatures from other planets destroyed the two cities
    D．the American Geophysical Union conference was once held in one of the two cities
    小题3: This article is probably from _______.
    A．a scientific magazine
    B．a report to the government
    C．a school text book
    D．a scientific report in a newspaper

    A popular student in her small high school, Katie started college, expecting to do well in her courses and be best friends with her roommates. But things didn’t turn out that way. Psych 101, the course she thought would be a first-semester favorite, turned out to be a struggle.
    Living away from home tends to be the toughest adjustment for first-year students. You may feel homesick in your first weeks or months. It can help to call, write, or email your parents and friends, making them know how you’re going. You can also talk with your roommates. As first-year students themselves, they’re probably experiencing many of the same fears and worries that you’re dealing with .
    But what if you don’t get along well with your roommates?
    In some cases, it can be a good thing if you and your roommates aren’t much alike. Different views on things may be helpful, so respect your differences no matter what.
    If you and your roommates don’t get along well, it can help to find someone who you feel does understand you, which should be easy on a campus with so many people. Many schools have student organization nights where all of the campus clubs gather and promote their organizations, so you can meet people with the same interests there as you. You’ll also meet tons of people in class or in your dorm building.
    As homesickness, painful throats, sprained (扭伤的) ankles and wisdom teeth that act up are common among college students, you should check out your student guidebook or your school’s website to find out information about the university health center.
    If you think you cannot deal with your problems, make a stop at the school counseling (咨询)center. First-year troubles are something the counselors know well. You can get help there.
    小题1:From Paragraph 1 we can infer that __________.
    A．Katie had been worried about the changes before starting her college life.
    B．Katie felt satisfied when her college life started.
    C．Katie wasn’t used to the new environment in college at first.
    D．Katie has fallen behind in her study after the first semester in college.
    小题2:What’s the author’s first suggestion on dealing with homesickness?
    A．Adjust to it gradually.
    B．Never share fears with your parents.
    C．Talk to your roommates about it.
    D．Get along with your roommates.
    小题3:Which of the following ways of dealing with roommates is RIGHT?
    A．Not trying to change them.
    B．Avoid making friends with them.
    C．Developing the same interest as them.
    D．Not talking with them.
    小题4:From the passage, we can know that_________
    A．It’s easy for the first-year students to adapt to the college life.
    B．First-year students can get along well with roommates quickly.
    C．The university center can only help the first-year students solve problems.
    D．The school counseling center is familiar with the problems the first-year students face.
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the text?
    A．Freshmen may meet many problems.
    B．Communication is important in college.
    C．How you can adjust to your first year in college.
    D．How schools help freshmen to get used to college life.

    Most damagingly, anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour. The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.
    Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels (决斗) as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another.
    Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG (脑电图) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal (额叶前部) areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and, as a result of this, we’re likely to react. And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative.
    Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour: we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions, in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern. The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as of ensive anger: the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry (不对称) of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy (同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.
    小题1:The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger ________.
    A．usually has a biological basis
    B．varies among people
    C．is socially and culturally shaped
    D．influences one’s thinking and evaluation
    小题2:What changes can be found in an angry brain?
    A．Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.
    B．Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.
    C．Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour.
    D．Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition.
    小题3:Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?
    A．Approaching the source of anger.
    B．Trying to control what is disliked.
    C．Moving away from what is disliked.
    D．Feeling helpless in the face of anger.
    小题4:What is the key message of the last paragraph?
    A．How anger differs from other emotions.
    B．How anger relates to other emotions.
    C．Behavioural responses to anger.
    D．Behavioural patterns of anger.

    After more than a year of bitter political debate, President Obama sat down in the White House East Room on March 23 and signed the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law with a pen，and then another pen，and another. Obama used 22 pens to sign the $938 billion health care bill.
    The practice of using different pens to sign important legislation（法规）dates at least as far back as Franklin Roosevelt. The reason is fairly simple. The pen used to sign historic legislation itself becomes a historical artifact. The more pens a President uses, the more thank-you gifts he can offer to those who helped create that piece of history. The White House often give pens to supporters of the newly signed legislation. When Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, he reportedly used more than 75 pens and gave one of the first ones to Martin Luther King Jr. And in 1996, President Clinton gave the four pens he used to sign the Line-Item Veto bill to those most likely to appreciate the bill's consequence.
    Once they're given away, some pens end up in museums; others are displayed proudly in recipients'(接受者) offices or homes. But they sometimes appear again, like in the 2008 presidential campaign（竞选活动）, when John Macain promised to use the same pen given to him by President Reagan to cut pork from the federal budget.
    Not every President goes for the multipen signature, however. President George W. Bush preferred signing bills with only one pen and then offering several unused "gift" pens as souvenirs.
    小题1:.We can learn from paragraph 1 that the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act        .
    A．has been passed easily
    B．was put forward one year ago
    C．becomes law in the USA
    D．is unimportant
    小题2:How are the pens dealt with after being used by President Obama?
    A．Supporters of the newly signed legislation are likely to get some of them.
    B．Obama will keep them.
    C．They will be just set aside
    D．They will be sold to the public at a high price.
    小题3:What can we learn about John Macain?
    A. He was ever President in the USA.
    B. He took part in the 2008 presidential campaign.
    C. He never used the pen given by Reagan.
    D. He was only concerned about his own business.   
    小题4:What does this passage mainly tell us ?
    A. Obama signed the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
    B. It is a practice to use multiple pens to sign important legislation in the USA.
    C. Pens are necessary in the signature.
    D. All the presidents like the multipen signature.
