A Different View

At age 1, 11 and 16, the way we looked was the most important thing in the world to us£®My friends and I wanted nothing less than perfection£®

In high school, we joined the gymnastics team, and our became even more important to us£®We had no fat, only muscle£®On the weekends, we would go to the beach, of our flat stomachs£®

One summer day, all my friends were at my house £®At one point, I was running back to the pool£®I on a bee, and while it was dying under my foot, it stung (ÕÝ) me£®I instantly started to feel £®That night, I began to run a high fever and my leg and foot were red, hot and swollen£®I couldn¡¯t walk£®I could barely £®

When my foot started to go numb, everyone became more £®My foot was not getting enough blood£® I had to go to the , and my leg hurt as if it were badly broken£®I couldn¡¯t move£®All I could do was think about how soft my middle was becoming£®That me more than any concern over my leg£®

That would all when I heard the doctors mention possibly cutting off my foot£®It was still not getting the supply it needed£® The doctors would have to speed up their treatment£®

Never before did I have such great for my foot£®And walking seemed like a from the gods£®Less and less would I want to hear my friends talk about and who was wearing what£®More and more I expected visits from other kids in the hospital, who were quickly becoming my friends£®

One girl came to visit me £®Every time she came, she brought flowers£®She was recovering from cancer and felt she should come back and the other patients£®

She still had no hair, and she was swollen from medications she had been taking£®I would not have given this girl a second before£®I now loved every inch of her and looked forward to her £®

Finally, I was improving and soon I went home£®My leg was still swollen, I was walking, and I had my foot! When I would go back to the hospital, I often saw my friend£® She was still visiting people and good cheer£®I thought if ever there was an angel on this earth, it had to be her£®

The stories we share with one another are important£® They show wisdom and provide inspiration£® They are important to our development£® But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told£® Bobette Buster said it like this, ¡°The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (Ñý¹Ö) left in a bottle£®When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.¡±

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret¡ªespecially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside£® And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy£® It displays we are human£® We are not perfect or better£® It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development£® Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely£® But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not£®There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

1.What¡¯s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A£® It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.

B£® It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

C£® It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

D£® It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.

A£® story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work

B£® people are used to exposing their weaknesses

C£® people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

D£® some stories make themselves feel uneasy

3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word ¡°uncorked¡± in Paragraph 3?

A£® freed B£® broken C£® unfolded D£® untouched

4.The writer aims to convince us to _______.

A£® be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

B£® share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

C£® remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D£® realize the importance of being honest when making friends

Does happiness have a scent?

When someone is happy£¬can you smell it?

You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile£¬hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug£®But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent£¬and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell£¬reports Phys£®org£®

For the study£¬12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them£®All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers£¬and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period£®

Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell£¬while researchers monitored their reactions£®Only women were selected to smell the samples£¬apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling¡ªthough it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents£®

Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents¡ªparticularly their facial expressions¡ªindicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them£®

¡°Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell£¬¡± said study co-author Gun Semin£¬a professor at Koc University in Turkey£®

This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent£¬but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others£®The study also found that other emotions£¬such as fear£¬seem to carry a scent too£®This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell£¬but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings£®

Researchers have yet to isolate(·ÖÀë) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is£¬but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be£®Happiness perfumes£¬for instance£¬could be invented£® Scent therapies£¨ÏãζÁÆ·¨£©could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety£®

Perhaps the most surprising result of the study£¬however£¬is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated£¬and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us£®

1.What is the main finding of the new research?

A£® Men produce more sweats£®

B£® Negative emotions have a smell£®

C£® Pleasant feelings can be smelt out£®

D£® Women have a better sense of smell£®

2.The underlined part ¡°abstain from¡± in Paragraph 3 probably means _________£®

A£® Avoid

B£® Practice

C£® Continue

D£® try

3.What is the application value of the new research?

A£® Perfumes could help people understand each other£®

B£® Some smells could be developed to better our mood£®

C£® Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases£®

D£® Some smells could be created to improve our appearance£®

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that ________£®

A£® happiness comes from a scent of sweat

B£® positive energy can deepen understanding

C£® people need more emotional communication

D£® social surroundings can influence our emotions

When Iain Douglas-Hamilton first started studying elephants in Africa,he had to invent ways of tracking the big animals. Over the course of 40 years in the field, the zoologist learned how to fly airplanes and use some high-tech means to follow their movements. He also learned how to get out of the way fast. "I learned how to climb trees very quickly," says Dr. Douglas-Hamilton, winner of the 2010 Indianapolis Prize.

As co-founder of Save the Elephants, he has also learned to be an activist, author, and politician. When Douglas-Hamilton left Tanzania, in East Africa, in 1970 to study at Oxford University in Britain, he left behind "an elephants' paradise (ÀÖÔ°)."But when he returned in 1972, the country's national parks looked more like a war zone. Douglas-Hamilton often found more dead elephants than living ones.

Dr. Douglas-Hamilton now lives in Kenya with his wife, Oria, who co-founded Save the Elephants. Together they have written two books, "Battle for the Elephants" and " Among the Elephants".

During the height of the ivory poaching (͵ÁÔ),Douglas-Hamilton flew in small planes, helping bring back elephants in Uganda from the edge of extinction. He's been repeatedly shot at and has survived plane crashes, floods and diseases. He fought for years for a worldwide ban on ivory sales, which finally took effect in 1989.

Douglas-Hamilton pioneered the scientific study of elephant social behavior. Among his discoveries: Elephants have a society controlled by female elephants and travel in families. In 2009£¬ he worked to save a rare group of desert elephants in Mali from the worst dry weather in Mali's history. There have been other successes, particularly in East and Southern Africa. Douglas¡ªHamilton has proposed (ÌáÒé) the idea of a mobile national park, where the protected land would follow elephants as they travel. No country has yet accepted it.

Even after decades of research, Douglas-Hamilton still enjoys the company of elephants. "I love to sit with them and be with them, "he says. "I have the greatest joy just to be with elephants at peace."
