     VINCOUVER (Reuters)-South Korea's Kim Yuna can finally relax and doesn't need to think about the future
after she won the gold medal in the women's figure skating (花样滑冰) on Thursday.
     The 19-year-old was the overwhelming (压倒性的) favorite to finish top of the podium (颁奖台) but said
the pressure going into the event was large.
     "I feel now as if a huge burden has been lifted," the Games' highest-earning female athlete-she makes an
estimated $8 million a year-said after her near-perfect program where she nailed all of her 11 jumps.
     "I will enjoy this moment and think about things later. I was just thrilled on the podium and I feel so relieved.
I had been running toward this dream of the Olympics and was so happy to be here," she said.
    "Since I have achieved the most important goal in my life, I am going to enjoy this moment for a while and
then think about what I am going to do," a smiling Yuna said.
     Japanese rival Mao Asada took silver while Joannic Rochette of Canada grabbed the bronze medal four days
after her mother died.
     "I still cannot believe I did what I wanted to do at the Olympics. I have been dreaming about this moment
and I cannot believe it is not a dream anymore." said Yuna.
     South Korea was counting on her to grab their first gold medal in figure skating and the first Winter
Olympics gold medal outside short track and speed skating.
     "I was just happy to have skated a clean program. It was the first time I skated two clean programs. During
the program when I finished all elements I thought this is going to be yeah...this is it."

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive(重温) these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research had suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.
They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve(减缓) a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (伦理学家).
Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common.“People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher. “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.”
56. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “_____.”
A. the new drug                      B. the research into the drug
C. the memory                        D. the chemical in the drug
57. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the supporters?
A.The pill can erase all the memories in the past.
B.Some memories can ruin people's life. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.
C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.
D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.
58. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the opponents (反对者) ?
A. Our memories give us our identity.
B. The memories help humanity avoid mistakes of the past.
C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.
D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.
59. Which of the following statements might be the main idea of the text?
A. People often suffer from bad memories.
B. The nightmares are terrible.
C. Forget bad memories and be happy.
D. The research has caused a heated argument.

     Treetops, the hotel in the trees, is famous in the world. Peop1e know little about Kenya, but they know of Treetops. When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she
came down from there, "She succeeded him as the queen of the country".
     The hotel is in the middle of the forest, and it shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will
be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big
game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor(走廊), watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built
round a large tree on the opposite side of the water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel
Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger.
     The dining room at Treetops is small, and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests, so a clever
"railway service" has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table.
     There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see:
     ---Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.
     ---Animals, enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.
     ---A long bodied, long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night. He
hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive. He lives in the trees at Treetops. He comes
for his food every evening. Do not get too near to him, as his teeth and claws(爪)can do you harm. These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.
1. The underlined word "succeeded" in Paragraph 1 probably means "_________".
A. did what she was trying to do
B. gained her purpose
C. replaced someone in an important position
D. completed an easy task
2. According to the text, "railway service" actually refers to __________.
A. the service provided at the railway station
B. the supply of food on the train
C. the service provided along the railway
D. the supply of food along a moving line
3. Which of the following statements about "the cat-like animal" is wrong?
A. It comes for food only at night.
B. It lives in the trees at Treetops.
C. Its teeth and claws can do people harm.
D. It can catch any other animal in the forest.
4. According to the text, Treetops is famous in the world because ________.
A. it shows the pleasure of America
B. Princess Elizabeth got to the crown when coming down from
     there
C. it is built around several trees
D. there are many animals that can be trained and become lovely pets
5. We can learn from the text that the guests______.
A. should not play games on the Treetops
B. could not sit on the corridor at night
C. could enjoy their dinner in the dining room
D. should keep off the cat-like animals

     The film "Avatar" has received great popularity around the world. It turned out to be a great success. The
film got ＄1 billion in ticket sales in a very short time. The story in the film happens on an alien planet called
Pandora where many strange species live. Among the planet's inhabitants (居民,栖息动物), the one that has
the most similarities with humans is the Na'vi, and it is the struggle between the Na'vi and human invaders (入
侵者) that forms the story of the film. As to the factors (因素) leading to the film's success, many think that
the entertaining feast (盛宴) for the eyes and the wonderful story shouldn't be forgotten, but the new language
invented especially for the film which provides audiences with a new experience also plays an important part.
     In order to increase the truthfulness of an alien race (外星人), the film's director James Cameron asked an
expert in languages from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na'vi. Professor Paul Frommer combined the languages spoken among Indians, Africans and mid-Asians and worked with James
Caneron for four years to create the Na'vi language based on the original 30 words that the director had already
come up with.
     According to Professor Frommer, the most important characteristic of the Na'vi language is that it could be
pronounced."This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors and actresses,"
Professor Frommer told the BBC, "it has to sound natural and it should make human beings comfortable when
using it."
     The language has a vocabulary of around 1000 words but Progessor Formmer hopes to enlarge the
vocabulary in possible follow-ups to the film and in video games. The professor hopes that one day his
creation will be as successful as the Klingon alien language from the"Star Trek"films."There's a translation of
Hamlet into Klingon and it has received great popularity among the audiences," says Professor Frommer, "if
anything like this happens to the Na'vi language, I'd be very happy."
