                            Out of the cold 

   There are no known cures for colds and the flu,so cold and flu prevention should be your goal. The most effective way of preventing the flu is to get the flu shot. 36 But there are other techniques you can employ as well. Here are some tips you can use to help prevent colds and the flu naturally:

   Put a box of tissues(纸巾) wherever people sit. Place tissue boxes strategically around the house,at work,and in the car. 37 Then anyone who has to cough or blow their nose can use them in a way least likely to spread bacteria.

   Leave the windows open in winter. Not all of them,but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time. 38 

   Add green tea and an apple to your morning break. Recent research by food nutritionists at Auckland University in New Zealand,found that eating food rich in (类黄酮) could lower the risk of adults catching a cold by as much as 33%.39 Eating five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit each day in a variety of colours is a great way to make sure you get enough flavonoids in your diet.

   Two interesting aspects of the British tendency are the charity(慈善) shop and the car-boot(汽车后备箱) sale. Both of these 41 selling goods for different purposes.

   Charity shops were 42 in the early twentieth century by groups like Oxfam and The Salvation Army which wanted to raise money to 43 charity work. People would donate bags of old clothes and other items like books,records,and furniture which could be 44 to the public at low prices. Over the last ten years there has been a 45 in the charity shops in the UK. Some 46 in well-to-do areas are as expensive as up-market retailers. Go into any charity shop on a Saturday morning and you will find people of all ages and 47 looking for a bargain; it might be a(n) 48 CD. a book for a university course,or a brand-name shirt.

   Car-boot sales are 49 popular,but they do not have the aim of raising money for charity. This is a way for people to have a 50 clear-out and get rid of old possessions that they don't want any more and to make 51 at the same time. Car-boot sales 52 at weekends in Britain. Here you will 53 individuals (个人) ，groups of friends and families with a table set up at the back of their car,selling all kinds of things out of the 54 of their car. 55 there are asking prices for the items on sale,there is plenty of 56 for negotiation.

   As with everything in Britain,class 57 is shown in people's behaviour around charity shops and car-boot sales. Some people who have got a good 58 will be very proud and will 59 tell their friends.

  Mind control Imagine looking at something and being able to move it just by using your brain!That is exactly what the new technology called BrainGate can do 一 with the help of a robotic arm,anyway.

   BrainGate is. the idea of Professor John Donoghue and his team of researchers at the Brown Institute for Brain Science,USA. BrainGate is attached directly to the brain. First of all,gold wires are put into the part of the brain that controls movement. These are then connected to a small computer chip(芯片) . When the person thinks about different movements,this creates electrical signals,which are picked up by the chip. After this,the signals that are created by the brain are sent back to a computer,which changes the signals into movements. Finally,the computer uses the robotic arm to carry out these movements. BrainGate can already be used to write an e-mail or play computer games,just by brain power.

   The technology has already cost millions of dollars to develop and when it is available for use,it will probably cost thousands of dollars per person. There are still many challenges ahead for Donoghue nd his team. They are currently planning a mini wireless version,which will allow people to be connected to the computer at all times. Donoghue also dreams of using this technology to help disabled people who can't move their arms or legs. He plans to connect BrainGate directly to their own paralysed limbs(瘫痪的胳膊或腿) .This will mean that the person can control their own body again,without relying on a robotic arm.

   This research is attracting the military's (军方的) attention as well. However,it is easy to understand why scientists might be concerned about how thought-controlled machines could be used by the military.

32. What does the underlined word “These” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

   A. Wires. B. Brains.

   C. Thoughts. D. Movements.

33. According to the text,what is one of BrainGate's disadvantages?

   A. It is too expensive.

   B. It needs improvement.

   C. It is difficult to control.

   D. It produces few movements.

34. How will Donoghue help disabled people?

   A. By making BrainGate smaller.

   B. By developing a wireless version.

   C. By attaching BrainGate to their bad limbs.

   D. By replacing their limbs with robotic ones.

35. What does the military think of thought-controlled machines?

   A. They could be useful.

   B. They could lead to disasters.

   C. They would be in mass production.

   D. They would face fierce competition.

   Most people don't notice I'm polite,which is the point. I am big and look less energetic. Still,every year or so,someone takes me aside and says,wYou actually are polite,aren’t you?” I'm always thrilled. They noticed. That's the thing. When we talk about politeness,we usually think of please; thank you; I like your hat; etc. AW we need to do is to hear,not to notice.

   When I was in high school,I read etiquette manuals (手册) . No one noticed my politeness except for one kid. He yelled at me about it. aIt's strange that you are always so polite,” he said. I took that as praise and made a note to hide my politeness further. Real politeness,I reasoned,was invisible(看不见的) . It adapted itself to the situation.

   Politeness leaves doors open. V ve met so many people whom,if I had trusted my first impressions,I would never have wanted to meet again. Yet many of them are now great friends. One of those people is my wife. On our first date,she told me at length that she had an operation to remove a cyst (瘤) from her body. This is a cyst with hair and teeth. Of course,it killed the chemistry. But when I walked her home,I told her I'd had a great time. We talked a little after that. I kept everything pleasant and brief. Much later,I learned that she’d been having a very bad day in a very bad year.

   People silently suffer from all kinds of terrible things. The good thing about politeness is you can regard these people exactly the same and wait to see what happens. You don't have to have an opinion. You don't need to make a judgment.

   Last week,my two-year-old son,Abraham met a foreign woman in the playground. Out of curiosity,I suppose,he asked, “What's your name?” The woman told him. Then he put out his little hand and said, “Nice to meet you!” Everyone laughed and he smiled. He shared with her his firmest handshake,like I taught him.

   My best friend Angel and I was riding her brother's four-wheeler. She was driving down a road when all of sudden we hit a sand pile and lost control. Luckily she was okay and I wasn,t. I was knocking unconscious. At first she didn't know how to do but then she heard a truck coming down the road. So she waves down the driver and explained what happened.
