13．It was a Friday night，and I had just returned from climbing one of the red rocks of Sedona．My faculty adviser（指导老师），Bunny，approached me as I walked to my dorm room．She told me that my mother had been in a terrible car crash and had been taken to the intensive care unit of a nearby hospital．
A strong smell of medicine brought an unpleasant feeling to my already turning stomach．My mother's room was right next to the nurses'station．As I came into the room，I saw her lying on her side．She struggled to turn around，but couldn't．I slowly crept（爬） to the other side of the bed and with calmness I said"hi"．
Gently holding my mother's hands，I tried to keep my composure．She was rolling her eyes and trying to tell me how much pain she was in．I turned my face away from her，trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face．
From that night on，my life completely changed．As my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to relearn to walk，my sense of priorities（优先） changed．In the past，we had more than our share of the strains（紧张） of mother--daughter relationships．The accident threw us in a relationships of interdependence．We listened to each other，and truly enjoyed each other's company．My mother needed me．My mother and I had faced death together，and life took on new meaning for both of us．
It has been over two years since my mother's crash．I have grown more in that time than in all the years before．My mother has taught me a lot about parenthood：the worries，the protectiveness and，most of all，the sweetness of unconditional devotion and love．

7．WASHINGTON-Patients with HIV，the virus that causes AIDS，often develop vitamin deficiencies（缺乏）．A new study has found that giving these patients a multivitamin with  a mineral supplement（补充） helps improve their immunity and slows the disease's progression．Sub-Saharan Africa has always been the center of the AIDS epidemic．In Botswana，despite aggressive prevention campaigns，one out of every four adults is infected with HIV．Professor Marianna Baum based her latest research there．Baum recruited almost 900newly infected adults who had not yet received the anti-AIDS drugs that target the virus．
These adults were then divided into groups that randomly received different combinations of vitamins B，C and E，the mineral selenium or a placebo（安慰剂）．
Most patients with HIV become deficient in these vitamins，which help boost immunity．Baum said she initially thought the multivitamins alone or selenium alone would be effective in strengthening the immune system，but found that to be incorrect．
"We were surprised to find that only the combination was effective，"said Baum．
Research shows that when people with HIV receive anti-retroviral drugs （抗逆转录病毒药物） shortly after infection，they can remain healthy and are less likely to pass the virus to their sex partners．For many countries，however，the cost of these anti-AIDS drugs is still prohibitive．Baum said the vitamin and mineral combination therapy should help low income countries better control the virus．
"A simple multivitamin supplementation with selenium provided early in HIV disease can actually slow the HIV disease progression and it is safe．It is low cost and it should be provided very early in HIV infection，"said Baum．
Baum said the supplements are not meant to replace anti-retroviral therapy，but can help those who cannot obtain the drugs．
Dr．Anthony Fauci，a world renowned expert on AIDS，disagrees．
"I haven't read the paper，but having taken care of HIV-infected individuals for three decades，I would doubt that vitamins are going to have a major effect on  suppressing the virus，"said Fauci．
Fauci said vitamin and mineral supplements may make a patient generally healthier，but the only thing that truly works to suppress HIV is anti-retroviral therapy．Baum's study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association．
25．Where is the passage probably taken？B
A．A scientific report
B．A newspaper
C．A school textbook
D．Science fiction
26．What can we learn from professor Baum's study？D
A．It is vitamin deficiencies that may have caused people to develop AIDS．
B．More than one third of people in Botswana are diagnosed with HIV disease．
C．Professor Baum divided 900HIV patients randomly into several groups．
D．Only the combination of vitamins and the mineral selenium could slow AIDS's process．
27．Which of the statements is possibly supported by Dr．Anthony Fauci？C
A．The finding is great news for low income HIV patients．
B．Vitamins will have a great impact on stopping HIV．
C．Anti-retroviral treatment is effective to stop HIV．
D．Vitamins should be used early in HIV infection．
28．The underlined word"prohibitive"in paragraph 5is closest to"B"in meaning．
A．deadly
B．costly
C．decreasing
D．forbidden．

14．To forgive is virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy．When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate．However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health．People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research．
（16）B Try the following steps：
Calm yourself．（17）F You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．
Don't wait for an apology．Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．（18）G Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you．
Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）．Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain．Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．
（19）D If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love．You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view．
Don't forget to forgive yourself．（20）E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it．
A．Why should you forgive？
B．How should you start to forgive？
C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness．
D．Try to see things from your offender's angle．
E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge．
F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress-management technique．
G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time．

14．A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops（笔记本电脑）．
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility（清晰度）．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught．
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for word what the professors said．
In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper．They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills．Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts．
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand．However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts．Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts．
The researchers'report said，"While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears．"
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture．This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam．
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．
5．More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they canB．
A．digest concepts better
B．write more notes
C．get higher scores
D．understand lectures better
6．While taking notes，laptop users tend to beA．

B．skillful
C．thoughtful
D．tireless
7．The author of the passage aims toC．
A．examine the importance of long-term memory
B．explain the process of taking notes
C．stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
D．promote the use of laptops
8．The passage is likely to appear inB．
A．a newspaper advertisement
B．a science magazine
C．a computer textbook
D．a finance report．

15．A decade-long study，also the first major research into air pollution and disease has shown that living near a main road increases the risk of dementia（痴呆）．The study of 6.6 million people found that one in 10dementia deaths in people living within 50 metres of a busy road was due to waste gas and noise．
Air pollution is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40，000 people in Britain each year by worsening breathing and heart conditions，while previous research showed emissions（排放物）can cause brain shrinkage．But the new study by Canadian public health scientists is the first to find a link between living close to heavy traffic and the increasing of dementia，a discovery described as"believable"and"impressive"by British experts．
Dr Hong Chen said．"Our study suggests that busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset of dementia．Population growth and urbanization has placed many people close to heavy traffic，and with widespread exposure to heavy traffic and growing rates of dementia，even a modest effect from near-road exposure could cause a large public health burden．More research to understanding this link is needed，particularly into the effects of different aspects of traffic，such as air pollutants and noise．"
In the new study，the team tracked all adults aged between 20and 85living in Ontario for more than a decade from 2001 to 2012．They used postcodes to determine how close people lived to a main road and analyzed medical records to see if they went on to develop dementia，Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis（多发性硬化）．
While there was no correlation between living near a road and Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis，dementia risk reduced as people lived further from a main road，with a 7 percent higher risk in developing dementia among those living within 50 metres； a 4 percent higher risk at 50-100 metres and a 2 percent higher risk at 101-200 metres．After 200 metres there was no increase．Researchers believe that noise of traffic may also play a role in the raised risk as well as other urban pollution，which is often present near busy roads．

28．What can we know about Canadian's new study？C
A．British experts think highly of it．
B．It brings benefits to dementia patients．
C．It shows that air production is very serious．
D．It shows that air pollution can cause brain shrinkage．
29．What Dr Hong Chen said showed thatD．
A．people are diagnosed with dementia mainly due to air pollution
B．widespread exposure to traffic will reduce the risk of having dementia
C．the link between living near roads and having dementia was not obvious
D．busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that caused dementia to increase
30．What does the underlined the word'correlation'mean？B
A．Change．B．Improvement．C．Association．D．Secret
31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？A
A．Living near a main road adds to the risk of noise．
B．Living beyond 300 metres of a main road is safe for people．
C．Living within 200 metres of a main road has a lower risk of having dementia．
D．The further people live away from heavy traffic，the smaller the risk of having dementia．
