You may have heard of the book Moby Dick(《白鲸记》), written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.

Melville’s first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successfully. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time.

Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. It was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly.

Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt frustration and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose(散文) and began to write poetry.

The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War, based on this experience.

Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72. at this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.

1.What were Melville’s first two novels mainly about?

A. His travel experience.

Are you an early riser or a night owl? Researchers from Aachen University in Germany believe that about 10 percent of people can be classified as “morning people”, who feel more active and function best in the morning．Around 20 percent are night owls—people who naturally tend to stay up late and are more tired during the day．And the rest of us fall somewhere in between, according to New Scientist.

Previous studies have suggested that early risers are more likely to be happy and healthy while night owls experience worse sleep as well as more depression and anxiety during the day.

For a long time, scientists have been trying to find out what causes the differences between the two．A new study suggests that it isn’t just people’s habits—early risers and night owls actually have different brain structures.

Led by Jessica Rosenberg at Aachen University, researchers scanned the brains of 16 early risers, 23 night owls and 20 people with intermediate sleeping hours．They found that the brains of night owls had less “white matter”—which speeds up the transmission(传输) of nerve signals — in brain areas associated with depression.

As you know, after people fly in an airplane from one time zone to another, they often suffer from a confused and tired feeling called “jet lag” because their body clocks are out of sync(不同步的) with the new time zone．It usually takes about a week for their bodies to adjust to the new time．But night owls always have difficulty syncing their bodies to the right time due to their brain structure．“It’s like they suffer from permanent jet lag,” said Rosenberg.

The good news is that it is possible for night owls to turn themselves into morning people．According to the researchers, night owls should try to spend as much time in the sunlight as possible and reduce their exposure to artificial light at night to force their body clocks to shift to a more normal rhythm.

1.What does the article mainly discuss?

A．How to turn early risers into night owls.

B．How our habits influence our sleep patterns.

C．What causes the differences between early risers and night owls.

D．Why early risers are happier and healthier than night owls.

2.We can learn from the article that night owls ________.

A．make up almost a third of the human population

B．have more white matter in their brains than other people

C．are more used to artificial night than sunlight

D．have body clocks that are not in agreement with the actual time

3.Jessica Rosenberg’s research suggests that ________.

A．previous studies about night owls are wrong

B．night owls are affected by jet lag more strongly than others

C．white matter helps our brains work more efficiently

D．brain structure might determine people’s chances of suffering from depression

If a woman has an extra piece of cake, don’t blame it on greed, blame it on her brain.

Scientists have found that women’s brains react to food very differently — and much more strongly — than men’s. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive about what they eat.

Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in King’s College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), to look at the brains of eighteen men and women. The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists. They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males. The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non-food images. The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to.

Dr. Uher said, “This could be related to biological differences between men and women. But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure.”

Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor at Lancaster University, said, “for centuries women have had a providing role — preparing and cooking food for their families. And it's part of that role to make sure the food is safe. They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA. If the female brain reacts to food because it historically has developed neural(神经的) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.”

But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved. American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said “Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的）differences or a learned process.”

1.Dr.Uher and his colleagues carried out the research by comparing ________.

A. Volunteers’ reactions to food before and after meals

B. FMRI’s scanning result of scientists

C. women’s and men’s brain reactions to pictures of food

D. volunteers’ imagination on the taste of food

2.In Dr. Uher’s opinion, women react more strongly to food than men most probably because they are ________.

A. born to do so due to biological reasons

B. influenced by advertisements

C. told to do so for a long time

D. forced by powerful social influences

3.According to Professor Carey Cooper, women ________.

A. are satisfied with preparing food for their families

B. turn to food when they feel sad

C. accept their social role from the heart

D. are stressed because of food safety

4.What was Angelo del Parigi’s attitude towards the research results?

A. Curious.B. Surprised.C. Uninterested.D. Doubtful.

Japanese Students Suffer from Pressure

Last April,15-year-old Rei Iwasaki stopped her piano and flute lessons and began to study every day of the week. Her parents paid to send her to a "cram school(灌输式教学模式的学校)." She wanted very much to pass her exams.

In February she did pass an all-day, five-subject examination and entered the high school she hoped to enter.

Thirteen-year-old Akio Yoshiwara wasn't so lucky. Unable to take the pressure of the exams, he hanged himself in February. He left a suicide（自杀） note which said, "I did my best in this dear life, but it's no good."

Suicides are now a common part of life among students in Japan. The cause is the incredible pressure of the "examination hell."

Even a number of teachers are committing suicide each year. When some students broke windows in a school near Tokyo, the principal blamed himself and wrote the following note: "The incidents were due to the lack of appropriate measures by the principal and I apologize. I am very tired. "

The Japanese educational system is much different from the American system. It is perhaps the most regimented(严密组织的) school system in any of the industrialized nations.

Boys and girls wear uniforms and go to school six days a week — 240 days a year compared to 180 in the U.S. Ninety-five percent graduate from high school compared to seventy-five percent in the U.S.

Students don't ask questions in class but only listen respectfully to the teachers. And every few year’s students are tested to see which school they will enter next. There is stiff competition for the "best" schools.

The result is a well-informed, disciplined student, ideal for factory and company work and excellent at learning specialized skills. But there is little fun in education, little creativity and the incredible pressure of "examination hell."

1.It's because ________ that many Japanese students committed suicide.

A. they didn't do their best in their lives

B. they were sent to a "cram school"

C. of the most regimented school

D. they were unable to take the pressure of the exams

2.Why did the principal kill himself?

A. He thought it was his fault that some students broke the windows.

B. He was very tired.

C. He couldn't stand the pressure of the "examination hell".

D. He blamed himself and wrote a note.

3.Which of the following ideas agrees with the title of the passage?

A. The Japanese students love to study under pressure.

B. The Japanese students do well under pressure.

C. The exams give the Japanese students much pressure.

D. The exams make the Japanese students commit suicide each year.

4.Which of the following is Wrong?

A. The American educational system is much different from the Japanese system.

B. To enter a high school, a student must pass an all-day, five-subject examination.

C. The Japanese graduates from high school are much less than the American graduates.

D. In Japanese education, there is little creativity as well as little fun.
