10.Our bodies are wonderfully skillful at keeping balance.When the temperature jumps,we sweat to cool down.When our blood pressure falls,our hearts can do something.As it turns out,though,our natural state is always changing.Researchers are finding that everything from blood pressure to brain function changes regularly with the cycles of sun,moon and seasons.And their insights (洞察力) are getting new ways for keeping away such common killers as heart disease and cancer.Only one doctor in 20 has a good knowledge of the scientific use of time in medicine.But according to a new American Medical Association,three out of four are eager to change that."The field is exploding,"says Michael Smolensky."Doctors used to look at us like,What spaceship did you get off?Now they're thirsty to know more."
       In medical school,most doctors learn that people with chronic  conditions should take their medicine regularly."It's a terrible way to treat disease,"says Dr Richard Martin.For example,asthmatics (气喘患者) are most likely to suffer during the night.Yet most patients try to keep a constant level of medicine in their blood day and night,whether by breathing in on an inhaler (吸入器) four times a day or taking a pill each morning and evening.In recent studies,researchers have found that a large mid afternoon dose of a bronchodilator (支气管扩张剂) can be as safe as several small doses,and better for preventing nighttime attacks.
       If the night belongs to asthma,the dawn belongs to high blood pressure and heart disease.Heart attacks are twice as common at 9 a.m.as at 11 p.m.Part of the reason is that our blood pressure falls at night,then rises as we start to work for the day."Doctors know that,"says Dr.Henry Black of Chicago's Medical Center,"but until now,we haven't been able to do anything about it."Most blood-pressure drugs provide 18 to 20 hours of relief (减缓).But because they're taken in the morning,they're least effective when most needed."You take your pill at 7 and it's working by 9,"says Dr.William White of the University of Connecticut Health Center"But by that time you've gone through the worst four hours of the day with no protection."Bedtime medicine would prevent high blood pressure,but it would also push blood pressure to dangerously low levels during the night.

5.For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish.At first a young boy,Manolin,had shared his bad fortune,but after the fortieth luck less day the boy's father told his son to go in another boat.From that time on,Santigao worked alone.The boy loved the old fisherman and always helped him with money and food.Usually,they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball after supper,while at night,alone in his cottage,Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa,where he had gone years before.He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.
On the eighty-fifth day,Santiago set off to fish before dawn.Two of his baits (饵) were fresh tunas (金枪鱼) the boy had given him,as well as sardines (沙丁鱼) to cover his hooks.Then he set his lines which went straight down into deep dark water.
As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore.A bird showed him where dolphin were chasing some flying fish.This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight.A small one took the hook on his line.Pulling the fish aboard,the old man thought it a good fortune.
Toward noon a marlin,a common fish in the sea,started eating the bait which was one hundred meters down.Gently the old man played the fish,a big one,as he knew from the weight on the line.At last he struck to settle the hook.The fish did not come out of she surface.Instead,it began to pull the boat to the northwest.The old man followed it.Although he was alone and no longer strong,he had his skill and knew many tricks.He waited patiently for the fish to be tired.
It was cold after the sunset.When something took one of his remaining baits,he cut the line with his knife.Once the marlin leaned suddenly,pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek.By dawn his left hand was cramped (抽筋的).The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight.Hungry,he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.
That morning the fist jumped.Seeing it,Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had ever seen.Then the fish went down and turned toward the east.Santiago drank a little water from the bottle during the hot afternoon.
Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebated.He lifted it aboard,careful.After he had rested,he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he hound in its stomach.That night he slept.He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped.Feeding line slowly,he tried to tire the marlin.After the fish slowed its run,he washed his cut hands in sea water and ate one of the flying fish.At sunrise the marlin began to circle.Faint,he worked to bring the big fish nearer with each turn.Almost exhausted,he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon(鱼叉).The fish was two feet longer than the boat.No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.
An hour later,he sighted the fist shark,a fierce Mako,and it came in fast to chase after the dead marlin.The old man struck the shark with his harpoon.The Mako rolled and sank,carrying the harpoon with it and leaving the marlin bloody.He knew the smell would spread.Watching,he saw two sharks closing in.he stuck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water.The other he killed while it tore at the flesh of the marlin.When the third appeared,he thrust (刺) it with the knife.The other sharks came at sunset.At fist he tried to beat them with the tiller (舵柄) from the boat,but his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea.In the darkness,as he steered toward the harbor of Havana,he head them hitting the boat again and again.But the old man though only of his steering and his great tiredness.He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him.He knew they would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin.
All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat.He could just make out the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish.Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength to go on.In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep.

2.A.Keep your body healthy

C.Take care of yourself
D.Challenge negative thinking
E.Know when to get additional help
F.Adopt healthy habits
Tips for dealing with depression
76.B
Getting the support you need plays a big role in lifting the fog of depression and keeping it away.On your own,it can be difficult to maintain perspective and sustain the effort required to beat depression.But the very nature of depression makes it difficult to reach out for help.However,isolation and loneliness make depression even worse,so maintaining your close relationships and social activities are important.
77.D
Depression puts a negative spin on everything,including the way you see yourself,the situations you encounter,and your expectations for the future.But you can't break out of this pessimistic mind frame by"just thinking positive."Happy thoughts or wishful thinking won't cut it.Rather,the trick is to replace negative thoughts with more balanced thoughts.
78.C
In order to overcome depression,you have to take care of yourself.This includes following a healthy lifestyle,learning to manage stress,setting limits on what you're able to do,adopting healthy habits,and scheduling fun activities into your day.
79.A
When you're depressed,exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing.But exercise is a powerful tool for dealing with depression.In fact,studies show that regular exercise can be as effective as antidepressant medication at increasing energy levels and decreasing feelings of fatigue.Scientists haven't figured out exactly why exercise is such a potent antidepressant,but evidence suggests that physical activity triggers new cell growth in the brain,increases mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and endorphins,reduces stress,and relieves muscle tension-all things that can have a positive effect on depression.
80.E
If you find your depression getting worse and worse,seek professional help.Needing more help doesn't mean you're weak.Sometimes the negative thinking in depression can make you feel like you're a lost cause,but depression can be treated and you can feel better!
19.It was a warm March evening,and I'd just taken a seat on the bus that would take me home.It was nearly 6:00 PM,but the bus was not yet full and the driver gave no (36)Cthat he intended to start the bus.

After a few minutes,all seats were(41)B.The driver got behind the wheel and started the engine.The bus conductor collected tickets and began asking us where we were(42)C.When he came to the old man's seat,he became(43)Band asked the old man whether he had any money.The old man(44)Cthat he did not.He explained that he(45)Call his money this morning when he'd accidentally got on the wrong bus and now he was trying to go home.
Upon hearing this,the bus conductor(46)Bthe old man to get off the bus.The old man was almost in tears as he begged the bus conductor to let him take that bus (47)Ahe could get home before dark.The bus driver approached the old man,and repeated the conductor's(48)Bto get off the bus.
"Stop troubling him!Can't you see he's only trying to get home?"she interfered."He doesn't have any money!"the driver shouted."Well,that's no(49)Cto throw him off the bus,"she insisted.
Then she said,"How much is his fare?"The bus conductor mumbled the amount."Fine,"said the woman.She(50)Dinside her blouse,took out her(51)Dmoney,and handed the fares to the bus conductor."Here's his fare and mine.Just stop giving him a hard time."
All eyes turned(52)Bthe woman,who,just minutes before,had been crying over the money she'd lost."It's only money,"she shrugged.
By the time the bus rolled out of the terminal,she had given the old man bread and a dollar.She rode the rest of the way home(53)Ba Mona Lisa smile of peace and grace,and the money she'd lost(54)Awas forgotten.
On the road of life,the politeness and smiles of(55)Ccan lighten our loads and lift our spirits.How much sweeter the journey when we make it a little smoother and richer for others!
