Normally, about 10 percent of the hair on your head is resting (not growing). After a few months, the resting hair falls out and new hair begins to grow in its place. The growing time can last from 2 to 6 years. During the growing period, hair will gain about 1 centimeter a month. It is normal to experience hair loss every day. Some people experience too much hair loss from a variety of causes.

Most people erroneously believe that hair loss is caused by things like stress, scalp (头皮),or wearing hats. With the exception of stress, none of these factors has been proven to be a cause of hair loss. Stress is also not very likely unless you have experienced extreme physical or psychological suffering. This hair loss also doesn’t last long.

The real cause of hair loss lies with hormonal(荷尔蒙的) problems. Hair loss occurs when male or female hormones are out of balance. An imbalance of hormones is usually genetic and cannot be cured. Male and female-pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss. This is caused by a hormone called DHT, which helps in sexual development. An increase in DHT in a grown-up can lead to hair loss.

There are also other causes of hair loss. Blood-thinners, some kind of medicines, and an excess of vitamin A, have all been shown to increase hair loss in certain people. Infections of the scalp can cause hair loss as well as certain diseases like diabetes.

72. What does the underlined word “erroneously” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Luckily.  B. Strangely.  C. Wrongly.  D. Honestly.

73. If a man experiences extreme physical suffering, he ___ .  

A. may lose some hair B. won’t grow new hair

C. will lose much hair   D. may suffer from severe diseases

74. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?

A. The real cause of hair loss is still unknown.

B. Taking too much vitamin A may lead to hair loss.

C. The more DHT a person has, the more hair he will have.

D. An imbalance of hormones is easy to cure.

75. What is this passage mainly about?

A. The side effects of medicines.   B. The effects of hormones.

C. The causes of hair loss.      D. Some ways to protect your hair.

A classic series of experiments to determine the effects of overpopulation on communities of rats was conducted by a psychologist,John Calhoun.In each experiment,an equal number of male and female adult rats were placed in an enclosure(场地).The rat populations were allowed to increase.Calhoun knew from experience approximately how many rats could live in the enclosures without experiencing stress due to overcrowding.He allowed the population to increase to approximately twice this number Then he fixed the population by removing the children that were not dependent on their mothers.At the end of the experiments,Calhoun was able to conclude that overcrowding causes a breakdown in the normal social relationships among rats,a kind of social disease.The rats in the experiments did not follow the same patterns of behavior as rats would in a community without overcrowding.

       The females in the rat population were the most seriously affected by the high population density(密度).For example,mothers sometimes deserted their children,and,without their mothers’care,the children died.The experiments showed that in overpopulated communities,mother rats do not behave normally.Their behavior may be considered diseased and pathological(病理学的).

       The leading males in the rat population were the least affected by over population.Each of these strong males claimed an area of the enclosure as his own.Therefore,these individuals did not  experience the overcrowding in the same way as the other rats did..However leading males did behave pathologically at times. Their antisocial(反社会)behavior consisted of attacks on weaker male,female,and immature rats.This unusual behavior showed that even though the leading males had enough living space,they too were affected by the general overcrowding.

       Non-leading males in the experimental rat communities also exhibited unusual social behavior.Some withdrew(缩回) completely ,avoiding contact with other rats.Other non-leading males were too active,chasing other rats and fighting each other.

       The behavior of the rat population has similarity in human behavior.People in densely(密) populated areas exhibit unusual behavior similar to that of the rats in Calhoun’s experiments.In large urban areas,such as New York City,London,and Cairo,there are deserted children.There are cruel,powerful individuals,both men and women.There are also people who withdraw and people who become too active.Is the major cause of these disorders(混乱)overpopulation?

       Calhoun’s experiments suggest that it might be.In any case,social scientists and city planners have been influenced by the results of this series of experiments.

1.Which of the following inferences(推断)can NOT be made from the first paragraph?[来源:Zxxk.Com]

       A.Overpopulation causes pathological behavior in rat populations.

       B.Calhoun had experimented with rats before.

       C.Calhoun’s experiment is still considered important today

       D.Stress does not occur in rat communities unless there is overcrowding.

2.The author implies that the behavior of the leading male rats is sometimes similar to that of

       A.people who would like to keep to themselves 

       B.people who abandon their children

       C.too active people

       D.cruel,powerful people

3.The main point of this passage is that _______________.

       A.although rats are affected by overcrowding,people are not

       B.overcrowding may be an important cause of social pathology

       C.the social behavior of rats is seriously affected by overcrowding

       D.Calhoun's experiments have influenced many people

I had the containers with my __42__ cookies in them and began to __43__, offering them to anyone near me.

I __44__ an old gentleman and said, “sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, __45__ and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I __46__, and his eyes __47__ a little bit and he said, “No one has __48__ called me sir.” So he was __49__ taken aback(意外). It struck me.

I explained I had been raised that__ 50__color and social status, everyone deserved respect. It __51__ me to think that just because he was homeless, no one__ 52__ him the honor. It broke my heart, and I __53__. I just didn’t understand__ 54__ no one ever called him sir. I had never thought that anyone was below me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every __55__ person deserves to be treated with dignity. Years later, I still carry that memory and the lessons it taught me.
