One fine day, I was sitting in a quiet room at the Miclroft Hotel, a peaceful place about an hour out of Toronoto. It was just past noon, late July, and I was 1 to the desperate sounds of a life —or— death 2 going on a few feet away．
There was a small fly 3 the last of its short life' s energies in a useless 4 to fly through the glass of the window．The whining （发出嗡嗡声） wings told the 5 story of the fly' s strategy: Try harder．But it' s not working．
The great effort offered no hope for its 6 ．Instead, the struggle was part of the trap．It was 7 for the fly to try hard enough to succeed in breaking through the glass: This fly's fate was 8 ．It would die there near the window． 9 the room; ten steps away, the door was 10 ．By ten seconds of flying, this small creature could 11 the outside world．With only a bit of the 12 now being wasted, it could be free of this self - imposed （自设的） trap．The breakthrough possibility was 13 .It would be so easy．
Why didn't the fly try 14 approach? How did it get so locked in the idea that this 15 route and determined effort offered the most 16 for success? No doubt this approach made sense to the fly． 17 , it was an idea that would kill it．
Trying harder isn't necessarily the solution to achieving more．It 18 offer any real promise for getting what you want out of life．Sometimes, 19 , it' s a big part of the problem．If you stake （拿……冒险） your hopes for a breakthrough on trying harder than ever, you may 20 your chances for success．

You may think that sailing is difficult, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail(帆).
Let’s start with the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind. but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
64. What should you consider first while sailing?
A. Sailors’ strength.
B. Wave levels.
C. Wind directions.
D. Size of sails.
65. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The sail.
B. The wind.
C. The boat.
D. The angle.
66. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A. Move in a straight line.
B. Allow the sail to flap.
C. Lower the sail.
D. Tack the boat.
Some animals apparently can resist cancer by strengthening their immune nervous system in preparation for winter，John Hopkins researchers said on Wednesday.
The scientists said their study was the first to show that the central nervous system，reacting to environmental changes，may spark changes in the body’s immune system(免疫系统) that control the growth of tumors.They said if that was the case，a better understanding of how the process works eventually could lead to new cancer treatments.
Dr.Randy Nelson，an associate professor of psychology at Hopkins，stressed at a meeting of the Society of Neuroscience that further study would be needed to confirm a connection between the length of the day，the animals’ immune system and cancer.More work also would be needed to show that the findings could be applied to human cancer.
Dr.Faye Austin，an immunologist with the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda，said，“It’s a very intriguing observation that the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumor.But I think that the draws really need further work to clarify the mechanics.”
But Austin said the findings were surprising and important，only because they open up a new approach for research.
Studies showed that stress weakened the immune system in animals.They figured that because winter is stressful，the season probably causes exertion (影响) on the immune system.
The researchers reasoned that animals that compensated by boosting (促进) their immune systems as winter approached would have a better chance of surviving and producing offspring.
“In the same way that animals have evolved to select the best time to breed，it struck me that animals ought to be able to predict when conditions would be challenging immunologically.”Nelson said.
1．Dr.Nelson has drawn a conclusion that ________.
A．there is a relation between the length of the day，the animal’s immune system and cancer
B．the findings of animals’ resistance to cancer can be applied to human cancer treatments
C．the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumor
D．there is a new approach for studying the function of central nervous system in the body’s immune system
2．Which season can strengthen the immune system in animals?
A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter.
3．On which of the following subjects can essays be presented at the meeting of the Society of Neuroscience?
A．The nervous system.
B．The treatment of cancer.
C．The ability to produce offspring.
D．The control of the growth of tumors.
