【题目】Anger and other strong emotions (情感) can probably cause deadly heart beats in certain weak people，the US researchers said on Monday.

Earlier studies have shown that earthquake，war or even the loss of a World Cup Soccer game can increase chances of death from sudden cardiac arrest，in which the heart stops passing blood.

“It’s certainly been shown in all different ways that when you put people under pressure，sudden death will increase，” said Dr.Rachel Lampert of Yale University in New Haven，Connecticut.

“Our study starts to look at how this really has an effect on the electrical system of the heart，” Lampert said.

She and her assistants studied 62 patients with heart disease and ICDs that can discover dangerous heart beats and send an electrical shock to bring a normal heart beat back.

Patients in the study took part in an exercise in which they told a recent angry period while Lampert’s team did a test called TWave Alternant that measures electrical instability(不稳定性) in the heart.

Lampert said the team on purpose asked questions to get people to experience the angry period again.“We found in the lab that yes，anger did increase this electrical instability in these patients，” she said.

Next，they followed patients for three years to see which patients later had a cardiac arrest and needed a shock from their ICDs.“The people who had the highest anger were 10 times more likely than everyone else to have cardiac arrest，” she said.

Lampert said the study suggests that anger can be deadly，at least for people who are already weak /span>to this type of electrical disorder in the heart.

【答案】【1】 C

【2】 A

【3】 A

【4】 B

【解析】【1】推理判断题。文章第二段说到此前的研究表明，地震、战争甚至输掉一场世界杯足球赛都会增加cardiac arrest引起死亡的几率，并用非限制性定语从句解释，cardiac arrest是一种由心脏突然停止供血而引发的死亡，医学名为心源性猝死。

【2】推理判断题。上文主要讲述的是愤怒、压力等情绪会导致人猝死，因此，这段中作者要讨论的是这些情绪是如何导致人死亡的。所以这里的this指的应该是“愤怒”和“压力”。

【3】推理判断题。在第五段提到对62名心脏病患者进行了研究，这些患者都携有可以探测到危险性心律或心律失常，并能释放电刺激使心律恢复正常的植入式心脏除颤(ICD)。这是试验的辅助工具。在第六段提到研究小组让病人进行一项练习，即讲述最近发生的一件令他们生气的事情，同时通过一种名叫“T波交替”的试验来测量病人心电的不稳定度，这是一种方法。

【4】主旨大意题。美国研究人员称，对某些“脆弱”的人来说，愤怒可能会触发致命的心律失常。

【题目】A lot of people are afraid of spiders(蜘蛛). One would even avoid walking in grass . And if he thought the spider was in the room or house, he would have to leave the house for days. In fact, fear of spiders is a type of disorder called specific phobia(恐惧症), one of the most common anxiety disorders, which annoys about 7% of the population, a study says. Common specific phobias also include fear of blood, needles, snakes, flying and enclosed spaces.

The Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine tried the “exposure Therapy(暴露疗法)”, which was small, done on 12 adults, but all of them held or petted the spider afterward. One participant celebrated by getting a spider tattoo(纹身) after having been unable to even look at photos of spiders.

This is the first study to document the immediate and long-term brain changes after treatment and to illustrate how the brain recognizes long-term to reduce fear as a result of the therapy. Every one would come in thinking: I am going to be the one who can’t do this . There is no way ,”Haunter ,author of the study ,says “They were impressed by the end.”

In therapy lasting two or three hours, which is different for each person, the participants were taught that troublesome thoughts about spiders were untrue.” “They thought the spiders might be capable of jumping out of the cage and on to them,” Hauner says.

Exposure therapy gets its name from exposing a patient to what he fears, says Todd, research assistant professor: “/span>A lot of it about dispelling people’s beliefs. You can get significant changes in a short period of time”.

【题目】阅读表达

Learning to save money when you’re young is an important lesson.All good lessons and habits begin early，and saving is a skill that everyone needs.Many people—adults included—do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grasscutting business since I was 10 years old.Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.

Making_sure_you_save_and_don’t_spend_too_much_is_a_good_way_to_build_up_wealth.I have put my earnings in a bank.Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow.Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.

At high school many parents pay for almost everything，so your expenses can be small.If you have a job，you should have fun with some of the money.But you should also save some so that it will grow.Then you can begin planning for your future.When you spend money，you not only lose that money，but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.

After high school，college is expensive and then“real” life begins，with expenses such as food and rent.If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen，going to college and buying a house will be much easier.________ ，the more time the money has to grow.If you are in your thirties without any savings，you will always have to struggle.The earlier you begin saving，the easier it is to create a nest egg.

Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills.If you want to buy a house and have a family，you need money to start with，which comes from saving.

Many say money cannot make you happy，and this is true.But money can help you to lead a secure life.

Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older.It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.

In addition to this，it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.
