阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Women are friendly. They often share with others. But men are more competitive. They are trying to improve their social status. Why? Researchers have found it’s all due to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.

Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it when falling in love or giving birth.

But in a former experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during a negative situation such as envy (嫉妒).

Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relations, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.

Professor Ryan’s recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37.

Half of the participants (参与者) received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).

After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same steps with the other material.

Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social behavior. Then they were asked to analyze the relations by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.

The results showed that, after treatment with oxytocin, men’s ability to correctly recognize competitive relations improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.

Professor Ryan thus concluded, “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people’s abilities to better tell apart different social behaviors.”

【1】What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?

A. Placebo. B. Oxytocin. C. The gesture. D. The social status.

2What can we learn from Professor Ryan’s former experiment?

A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.

B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.

C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others’ success.

D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people’s behavior differences.

3 Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?

A. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social behavior.

B. To know the differences between friendship and competition.

C. To know people’s different abilities to answer questions.

D. To test people’s understanding of body language.

4The author develops the text by _______.

A. explaining people’s behavior

B. describing his own experiences

C. telling apart sexual differences

D. discussing research experiments

【题目】In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about attack from other animals. This sometimes happens to humans, too. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have found that it makes them happy.

From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people. Often, we try every way to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But when we stop pretending we’re strong, people around us will show their kindness.

Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I suddenly felt sick and drove very slowly. People behind me began to speed, horn(鸣喇叭) or even shout at me. At the moment I decided to do something. I put on the car flashlight.

No more angry shouts and no more horns! I knew when I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I have already done my best.” Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They could not get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the drivers in front of them was in some way weak.

Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those seldom happen. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we actually feel weak.

【1】How do people feel when they offer their help?(No more than 3 words)

___________________________________________________________________________________________

2What reactions(反应) did other drivers have when the author drove very slowly?(No more than 5 words)

___________________________________________________________________________________________

3Why did other drivers behave differently when the author put on the car flashlights?(No more than 8 words)

___________________________________________________________________________________________

4What did the author advise us to do at last? (No more than 9 words)

阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.

Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's hometown of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk as a “reminder”.

Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.

The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.

Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of.”

The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”

【1】What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?

A.His health problem. B.His love for teaching.

C.The influence of his wife. D.The news from the Web.

【2】What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?

A.Give out brochures. B.Do something similar.

C.Write books for children D.Retire from being a teacher.

【3】According to the text, Dollly Parton is ________.

A.a wellknown surgeon

B.a mother of a fouryearold

C.a singer born in Tennessee

D.a computer programmer

【4】 Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?

A.To avoid signing up online.

B.To meet Dollywood board members.

C.To make sure the books were the newest.

D.To see if the books were of good quality.
