14.Recently,university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged.It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos,a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University.During the experiment,Dr Gerodimos said there were already  signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers.He said:"They're reporting withdrawal symptoms,overeating,feeling nervous,isolated and disconnected."
During their 24-hour test,three of the experiment's participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman.They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline,but of course,they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.
Elliot Day wrote:"Today,my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air.Despite being  aware of the social importance of the media,I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers."
From Caroline Scott,we read:"I didn't expect it,but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn't break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to,but It's not something l would like to do again!"
And Charlotte Gay wrote:"I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been  my  mobile;not  only is it a social device,it's  my main access point of communication."
Earlier in the year,a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media,often plugged into several things at once.So,with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate,how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
71.What can we learn about the volunteers?B
 A.Volunteers didn't write down about their day offline.
 B.Volunteers weren't allowed to use any media for 24 hours.
 C.Volunteers  were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos.
 D.Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment.
72.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants'feelings?D

73.Which of the following is true of Caroline Scott?C
 A.The media ban affected his temperature.
 B.His work went on smoothly without the media.
 C.His work was carried on hard without the media.
 D.His life was empty without the radio or newspapers.
74.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A
 A.People should use the media devices reasonably.
 B.People can easily survive the media devices addict.
 C.People can spend more time sleeping in the future.
 D.People spend about half the time using the media devices.

 C.news report       D.science fiction story.

19.Wisdom teeth are normally the last teeth to appear.This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties,in other words,when they are older and wiser.
Wisdom teeth can grow into place normally and never cause a problem.But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth; they might crowd other teeth.Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums (齿龈)
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to completely rise through the gums.Wisdom teeth that only partly break through can leave space for bacteria to enter around the teeth.Infection (感染) is a risk in these cases.
Wisdom teeth that are not well lined and become impacted are often removed.The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums.Removal is also advised if there is a chance that wisdom teeth are poorly lined.The best time to remove is before the teeth cause any problems or pain.Young adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal.
But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed?One theory has to do with our diets.Scientists say the diet of ancient humans probably required more chewing teeth.Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then,too.So it was good to have extras.
68.According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT true?A
A.Just older and wiser people can have wisdom teeth
B.Wisdom teeth can cause problems if not in their right place
C.Impacted wisdom teeth can't grow out of the gum fully
D.Wisdom teeth that only partly break can get bacterial infections
69.Wisdom teeth should be removedC
A.when they break through the gums
B.when they are below the gums
C.if they are not well lined or get impacted
D.if they take up enough room in the mouth
70.We can learn from the passage thatA
A.impacted wisdom teeth have the risk of getting infected
B.ancient humans need chewing teeth because of their happy life
C.older adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal
D.more chewing teeth are needed for the diet of modern humans
71.The main purpose of the passage is toD
A.advise             B.persuade             C.comment              D.introduce.
6.President Barack Obama,accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden,makes a statement about the earthquake in Haiti at the White House in Washington,13Jan.2010.

"The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble (瓦砾;废墟) and to deliver the humanitarian relief-the food,water and medicine-that Haitians will need in the coming days,"he said.

In a brief statement from the White House,Mr.Obama stressed this will be a complex and challenging operation.He made it clear that there is no time to waste.

President Obama urged the American people to do all they can to support the aid effort.He stressed the bond between the United States and Haiti is strong.
"We will keep the victims and the families in our prayers,"he said."We will be resolute (坚决的; 刚毅的) in our response and I pledge to the people of Haiti that you will have a friend and partner in the United States of America today and going forward."
The earthquake struck late Tuesday with the result that much of Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince turned into rubble.The International Red Cross in Geneva says up to three million people are affected and thousands are feared dead.

[6]Nosebleeds usually are not severe,but frequent nosebleeds might suggest a serious problem.If you get nosebleeds frequently--more than once a week you should see a doctor.
