4.Blind imitation (模仿)is self-destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth,imitation appears attractive;to those who know their strength,imitation is unacceptable.
    In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful.When I first learned to cook,I used recipes(菜谱)and turned out some tasty dishes.But soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own?Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle;they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
    In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意识地)hold poor role models.If,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
    In the field of entertainment,our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look great on screen.But when they step off screen,their personal lives may be disastrous.If you are going to follow someone,focus on their talent,not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
    Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material;it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
    Study your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not server you.Then you can say,"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors'tragedies and declare victory,and know that they are cheering on."

14.In the dry Namib Desert on the west coast of Africa,one type of beetle has found a special way of surviving.When the morning fog arrives,the Namib Beetle collects water drops on its bumpy(起伏不平的)back,then lets the water roll down into its mouth,allowing it to drink in an area without flowing water.
    ShreerangChhatre watns to use what nature has developed to help the world's poor.Chhatre is an engineer at MIT who works on fog harvesting,the devices that,like the beetle,attract water drops.This way,poor villagers could collect clan water near their homes,instead of spending hours carrying water from distant wells of rivers.
    Access to water is a pressing global issue.According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF,nearly 900 million people worldwide live without safe drinking water.The burden of finding and transporting water falls heavily on women and children."As a middle-class person,I think it's terrible that the poor have to spend hours a day walking just to obtain a basic necessity,"Chhatre says.
   A fog-harvesting device consists of a fence-like mesh panel(网状面板),which attracts drops,connected to containers into which water falls.Chhatre has improved the materials used in these devices.He is continuing his work at MTT Sloan and the Legaturn Center in order to develop a workable business plan for applying fog-harvesting devices.
    Interest in fog harvesting dates back to the 1990s,and has increased since new research on the Namib Beetle became famous in 2001.A few technologists saw potential in the concept for people.One Canadian charitable organization,FogQuest,has tested projects in Chile and Guatemala.
    But fog harvesting remains in its infancy,technologically and commercially,as Chhatre readily recognizes."It still faces some open problems,"he says."But it's a work in progress."After all,the water that fills our rivers and lakes comes from air.

46.Which of the following is TRUE of Shreerang Chhatre?D
A.He is an African engineer.
B.He is researching on the Namib Beetle.
C.He has made the first fog-harvesting device.
D.He is trying to put fog-harvesting devices to use.
47.How did fog harvesting attract more people?C
A.By being advertised by MIT
B.By getting the help of UNICEF
C.By researching on the Namib Beetle
D.By being inspired by the invention of a fence-like mesh panel
48.What do we know about fog harvesting?B
A.It became famous in 2001.
B.It is still in its early stages.
C.It has been tested in Africa.
D.It was invented by FogQuest.
49.The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers toC.
A.UNICEF             
B.the beetle
C.fog harvesting         
D.a Canadian charitable organization
50.The author's main purpose in writing the text is toC.
A.stress the importance of saving water
B.show the Namib Beetle's special way of surviving
C.introduce a new device for collecting water from air
D.inform people of the serious water problem in Africa.

8.第二节
You'd think the human race would have understood sleeping very well by now,but many of us are still sleeping poorly.Part of the problem is that we have wrong information and beliefs about this important health need.Let's set the facts straight.(36)B
1.More sleep is better for you.
There could be such a thing as too much sleep.The amount of sleep we need varies by person and also changes as we age.Harvard researchers found that a lot of sleep(9 hours or more) is linked with poor sleep quality.(37)DAim for better sleep
2.(38)A
Alcohol can help most people fall asleep.However,it also can cause you to wake up more during the night,decreasing your keep sleep quality.Consider drinking non-alcoholic drink before bed instead.
3.If you wake up in the middle of night,lie in bed until you eventually fall back asleep.(39)EWe all hope to quickly fall back asleep.So we tend to stay in bed hoping it'll happen tat any minute now.If that doesn't happen,though,within 15minutes,most exporters recommend getting out of bed to do something that occupies our bodies and brains without over stimulating(刺激)us.Try not to check the clock either.
You can catch up on sleep on weekends.
When we lose sleeping during the week,we accumulate a kind of sleep"debt".(40)GNot so fact.This might actually make you sleepier the next week.Instead of waking up later on the weekends,you'd better go to sleep earlier or perhaps take a nap in the afternoon.

A.Alcohol helps you sleep.
B.Here are some things you might been told about sleeping but aren't completely true.
C.Everyone should get 7-8hours of sleep per night.
D.So don't aim for more sleep-even on the weekends.
E.Waking up in the middle of the night is the annoyance,but it happens to all of us.
F.You'll have a better day and perhaps sleep better at night.
G.Can you pay that debt back by sleeping on Saturday or Sunday?
