7.Bongos was a happy,artistic girl. She had one big ambition to play the drums in a band.But one big obstacle lay in her way.To be good enough to play in a band,Brenda had to practice a lot,but she lived next-door to a lot of old people.Many of them are sick.She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves.So,she had tried playing in the strangest places:a basement,a kitchen,and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day,while watching a science documentary on TV,she heard that sound cannot travel in space,because there's no air.At that moment,Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time,books and work,Brenda built a space bubble.This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备) and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made,entered the bubble,turned on the machine,and played those drums like a wild child.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous.Many people came to see her play in her space bubble.Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and stated giving concerts.Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey.Finally,Brenda was a real musical astronaut,and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later,when asked how she had achieved all this,she thought for a moment,and said:"If those old people next-door hadn't mattered so much to me,I wouldn't have found a solution,and none of this would have ever happened."

56.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?B
A.Because she didn't want others to hear her play.
B.Because she didn't mean to disturb others.
C.Because she didn't have her own room.
D.Because she didn't like her neighbors.

A.after she practiced in her space bubble
B.when she became part of the unique space journey
C.after she became a real musical astronaut
D.when people came to see her in the space bubble

C.she invented a special way of practiceD.she played well and had a talent

7.Around 200 people who thought their only experience of the London 2012 Olympic Games would be minor heats of synchronized swimming (花样游泳) have received an unexpected change to the men's 100m final because of an embarrassing ticketing mistake.
The London 2012 Organizing Committee (Locog) confirmed on Wednesday that an error in its ticket selling had led to four synchronized swimming competitions being oversold by 10,000 tickets.
Locog and its ticket agent spent the Christmas period contacting ticket holders and offering them alternatives that included the tickets they had applied for but unsuccessful.The changes need no additional cost.It has also offered to return any discrepancy (差额) if the new tickets cost less than the originals.Locog said the replacement tickets would come from a number of unsold seats across the Olympic Games and that it was doing all it could to make up the error to the fans who bought tickets.
Locog said the error occurred in the summer,between the first and second round of ticket sales,when a member of staff made a mistake,entering"20,000"into the computer rather than the correct figure of 10,000 remaining tickets.The error was discovered when Locog checked the number of tickets that had been sold against the final seating numbers,and began contacting ticket holders before Christmas.
Thousands of ticket holders have already struck lucky,changing to tickets for major events including swimming and athletics finals,and in around 200 cases the hottest of all,the men's 100m final.Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the synchronized swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event,August 5.

2.Positive Thinking Can Transform Your Health
Our emotional(情感)world has a remarkable power to determine not only our mental health,but also our physical well-being.And a growing body of research in psychology,medicine and public health is displaying the health benefit of positive emotions and their effect on physical health.(36)C.
1.Optimism may protect the heart.
According to a 2012review of literature,a number of studies have shown that people with optimistic personalities are at a reduced risk of the heart attack.(37)A,such as improved immune system function and increased life span.
2.Compassion and care for others can improve nerve function.
Compassion,a loving concern for the well-being of others,can make us feel positive and may improve our physical health.
Positive psychologist Barbara has conducted research on the effects of loving kindness meditation(沉思),a traditional religious practice that involves meditating on love and extending compassion to oneself and others.(38)D,which extends from the brain to the heart,helping to regulate emotions as well as bodily systems
3.(39)F.
Like optimism,an"attitude of gratitude",appreciation and feeling of thankfulness for the blessings one has in life,carries significant mental and physical health benefits.Gratefulness,like optimism,has been linked with improved immune health,and has also been shown to improve sleep quality.
4.Self-compassion improves health-related behaviors.
(40)E.A 2013study found that self-compassionate people sought medical attention sooner than people who were lacking in self-compassion.Self-compassionate people also tended to be less depressed.

A.Optimism's benefits for physical health also extend beyond heart health
B.There are many kinds of methods to make us feel positive
C.Here are four positive emotions to improve physical health and prevent disease
D.Researchers find the practice can have a positive impact on the nerve
E.People who cultivate kindness towards themselves are also kinder to their bodies
F.Gratitude may also benefit heart health and immune system function
G.Those who are kind to others are easier to feel relaxed.

16.Teenage boys,regardless of race,are more likely to die from gunshot wounds than from all natural causes combined,
By the time the average American child leaves primary school,he or she will witness 8,000 murders and more than 100,000 acts of violence on televisionYouth are becoming involved in violence at an alarming rate. In fact,the young arrest rate for murder doubled,from 6 arrests per 100,000 youth aged from 10 to 17 to over 12 per 100,000For the many youth who have not been directly exposed to violence in their own communities,the entertainment media (television,movies,music and video games) provides many opportunities for children to see and hear violent exchanges. Research shows that there are about 5~6 violent acts per hour on prime time and 20~25 violent acts on Saturday morning  children's programming. In its report,the American Psychological Association (APA) reported that viewing violence on television hurts children in many ways. In particular,the APA  concludes that children may become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others,be more  fearful of the world around them,be more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways toward others,and gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems.
Another form of violence involving youth is physical punishment in the schools. This form of discipline (纪律) still remains legally supported in 23 nations in America. The Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Education reported that 555,000 students were physically punished in the schools during this school year. Although such punishment has been regarded as an effective method of discipline by those who apply it,the findings are obvious that physical punishment does not work and that children who are victims of physical punishment are subject to potential long-term physical and emotional damage.
64. According to the passage,the American teenage boys'lives are most threatened byA
A. gun murders 
B. natural diseases
C. TV violence                 
D. physical punishment
65. We can learn from Paragraph 4 thatD
A. many youth have watched much violence on TV
B. youth violence in Washington IX; is very serious
C. fights may be the most widely-seen youth violence
D. American youth have been exposed to much violence
66. The APA indicates that too much TV violence may change childrenB
A. to become separated from the world 
B. to remain unconcerned about others'pain
C. to solve problems only by violence 
D. to be fearful of aggressive behaviors
67. The author may most probably agree that physical punishment isC
A. acceptable,though ineffective          
B. illegal,though effective
C. harmful,though legal                 
D. reasonable,though illegal.
