　　Fever has usually been regarded as a threat to health.However,no one has actually proved that fever is dangerous.This fact attracted the attention of Matthew J.Kluger.Imagining that fever might not be as harmful as it had been supposed,Kluger set up a series of experiments with lizards(蜥蜴).

　　What Kluger and his team did his team did in their first experiment was simple.They put some lizards in a sand-box,one end of which was heated to 44℃,while the other was at a room temperature.It was found that the lizards moved form one part of the box to the other in order to keep a constant temperature of about 38℃.Having shown that normal lizards regulate(调节) their own temperature,Kuger,in a second experiment,then set out to show that lizards,like most other animals,develop fever when infected.This was done by making lizards infected with bacteria (细菌) that were known to cause disease.As the team expected,the infected lizards remained longer in the heated part of the box,until they had raised their body temperatures to two or three degrees above normal.In other words,the sick lizards gave themselves fever.

　　In a third experiment,the team observed the effect of temperature on the survival of the lizards.One group of infected lizards was given a fever - suppressing(退烧) drug.The other group was given no drug and ran a fever,that is to say,they kept a highter temperature for four or five days before seeking a cooler environment.The results were impressive.Of those which raised their body temperature,all but one remained alive.Of those given the fever - suppressing drug,more than half died.Similar results have since been produced in other animals.For example,infeced fish swim to warmer water,and will die if not allowed to do so.

　　An important conclusion can be drawn from these experiments.As Kluger points out,lizards have been on earth for hundreds of millions of years.It is reasonable to suppose that a response that is so old has been kept by nature for some purpose.It would appear, therefore, that fever does not make disease worse.Rather it its part of the mechanism(机能) by which infection is controlled.

　　60.In his experiments,Kluger was hoping to prove that fever ________.

　　　A.is not harmful to lizards

　　　B.is not necessarily bad

　　　C.is necessary for both humans and animals

　　　D.has the same effect on humans and animals

　　61.The lizards put in the sand - box in the first experiment _____.

　　　A.had a fever B.were not sick C.recovered from disease D.died of heat

　　62.In the third experiment,the lizards given a fever - suppressing drug died because _____.

　　　A.they had no more fever that they needed

　　　B.they were normal ones and had no fever

　　　C.the drug had no iffect on sick lizards

　　　D.the drug made their body temperature too low

　　63.How would you understand the underlined words"a response" in the last paragraph?

　　　A.Gause of disease. B.Recovery from disease.

　　　C.Relationship between living D.Natural defense in the body against disease.

If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.?

And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don't understand you.

Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.?

It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.?

And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in).  Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.?

If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(=on the floor),or LOL(=laughing out loud),or combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).?

And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(=got to go) or TTYL(talk to you later).?

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals. Punctuation is going, too.?

In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet_______.

A. you have to speak fast and fluently?

B. you have to express your ideas in a brief way?

C. you should speak with wit and humor　?

D. one should pay much attention to the accuracy of the words?

If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means_______.?

A. the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine?

B. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York?

C. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York?

D. the person who are talking to you is a 1.7-foot tall New York girl?

To save time on the Internet_______.?

A. some people leave their letters in the dustbin?

B. some people never use “shift” in their writing?

C. many people leave the capital and punctuation?

D. people seldom use capital letters or punctuation

　　Some people seem to have a knack (诀窍) for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary,master roles of grammar,and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any cleverer than others,so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners,we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.

　　First of all,successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher;they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain,they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues (线索) and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong,they guess again. They try to learn form their mistakes. Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore,successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language;they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things;they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult,they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

　　Finally successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practise using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.

　　What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner,you have probably been learning independently,actively,and purposefully. On the other hand,if your language learning has been less than successful,you might do well to try some of the techniques discussed above.

(1)If you want to be a successful language learner,you should ________.

[　　]

A. be cleverer than others

D. remember the meaning of every word

(2)Independent language learning means ________.

[　　]

A. one cannot learn a language well without a teacher

B. one should try not to make any mistakes

C. one should try to understand for himself what he is learning

D. one should ask his teacher to explain the difficult points

(3)An active language learner is one who ________.

[　　]

A. makes use of any chance to practise the language

B. tries to accept as much information as he can

C. thinks it more important to know the meaning of every word

D. is waiting for difficult communication with others

(4)The last sentence of the passage suggests that ________.

[　　]

A. unsuccessful language learners should try the techniques of successful language learners

B. less successful language learners try to use successful language learning techniques

C. there are different techniques for language learners to try

D. less successful language learning is the result of using these techniques

(5)The author writes this article to

[　　]

A. answer some questions about language learning

B. explain why language learning is difficult

C. tell us which language learning technique is more helpful

D. encourage language learners to use these techniques
