10．Has this happened to you？You're about to drift off to sleep when suddenly you feel like you're falling or coming down on a roller coaster （过山车）．
You then wake up to realize that you're safe in your bed．You may have been confused or frightened for a second or two and your heart may be beating faster．You may have also felt the muscles in your body jerk when this all happened．Did you ever wonder why？
This falling sensation，together with a body movement known as a"sleep start，"is what doctors and scientists call a myoclonic （肌阵挛的） jerk，and it usually happens right before going into deeper stages of sleep．Here's why doctors think the falling feeling and myoclonic jerks happen．When you fall asleep，normally your body temperature goes down and your heart starts to beat just a little slower．This is because your brain signals your body to relax to prepare for sleep．When your muscles are relaxed，you go into the very first stages of sleep，but you're not sleeping too deeply yet．
This brain activity may cause your larger muscles to contract （收缩） a little bit．In response，another part of your brain will make up a very quick mini-dream to go along with what is happening．You might think this would take a while，but your brain works so fast that it makes up the story almost at the same instant that your muscles jerk．
During this light sleep，you can be awakened easily．People who wake up during the light sleep believe they haven't fallen asleep yet．That's why you may think that your body jerked right before you were about to fall asleep．
Myoclonic jerks are a normal part of sleep．Most people have them at one time or another．But many people don't realize their muscles are jerking during night sleep if it doesn't wake them up．
So the next time you dream about falling and wake up in a sweat，don't worry!Your body is just telling your muscles to relax and get some rest!

4．Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun．You only need to follow the
bright traffic signs beside the highway and it will take you where you wish to go．
But to a London taxi driver，driving is not an easy job．A taxi driver needs to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London，from the loneliest street to the popular restaurant around．He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers （乘客） at all times．
A London taxi driver said the following about his job．
During the night it is usual for him to stop two or three times for some food．He said，"I never drink when I'm working，otherwise I'd lose my license （驾驶执照）．"
He normally goes home between two and three o'clock in the morning．There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs．He said，"That's the worst thing about working for yourself．If you don't make money，no one is going to give it to you．"
London taxi drivers not only"take"but also"give"．Every summer hundreds of poor children from London go for a day at the sea-by taxi!There rides are paid by the taxi drivers．At the sea，they are met by the mayor （市长），and a lunch party is also held for the taxi drivers and the children．After a happy day's running around the beaches and visiting the market there，the children go home again by taxi，free of charge of course!

11．The new high-speed railway line between Urumqi，capital of the Xinjiang Uygur（维吾尔族） self-governing region，and Lanzhou，capital of Gansu province，has cut train travel time by half to less than 12hours．
The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for the Spring Festival．
"For the first time，I feel home is not that far away after all，"said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family．The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago，and he has now settled in Urumqi．"We normally drive home for the Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season，"Liang said．"Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes，so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip．"
More than 600，000passengers traveled on the line during its first month，and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season．
The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development．All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new line，leaving the old ones to be used for goods．As a result，Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200million metric tons（公吨） from the current 70million．
The line passes through areas that experience high winds，and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau（高原） and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert．
The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad，said Ma Xizhang，director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang．

B．About 6hours．
C．About 18hours．
D．about 12hours．
25．What's the main advantage of the new high-speed railway？D
A．It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou．
B．It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang．
C．All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals．
D．It helps to improve Xinjiang's development．
26．From the passage we can learnB．
A．Xinjiang's annual goods ability can increase nearly four times
B．the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad
C．the high-speed railway lines can't be built across the bone-dry sands
D．the old railway lines can only carry goods now
27．Which of the following is true according to the passage？C
A．The new high-speed railway line is good for all people to go home．
B．The new high-speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods．
C．Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou．
D．Businessmen seldom went home for the Spring Festival before．

8．Most damagingly，anger weakens a person's ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour．The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger．
Not everyone experiences anger in the same way； what angers one person may amuse another．The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces．In contemporary culture，physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated．We no longer regard duels（决斗） as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person's awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another．
Anger can be identified in the brain，where the electrical activity changes．Under most conditions EEG（脑电图） measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal（额叶前部） areas．Behaviourally this corresponds to the general evenhanded disposition（意向） that most of us possess most of the time．But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren't balanced and，as a result of this，we're likely to react．And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions，whether positive or negative．
Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour：we move closer to people we like．Most negative emotions，in contrast，are associated with avoidance behaviour：we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious．But anger is an exception to this pattern．The angrier we are，the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger．This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger：the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger．This approachandconfront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry（不对称） of EEG activity．Interestingly，this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy（同感） towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response．In defensive anger，in contrast，the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the angerinspiring situation．
67．The"duels"example in Paragraph 2proves that the expression of angerC．
A．usually has a biological basis
B．varies among people
C．is socially and culturally shaped
D．influences one's thinking and evaluation
68．What changes can be found in an angry brain？B
A．Balanced electrical activity can be spotted．
B．Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas．
C．Electrical activity corresponds to one's behaviour．
D．Electrical activity agrees with one's disposition．
69．Which of the following is typical of offensive anger？A
A．Approaching the source of anger．
B．Trying to control what is disliked．
C．Moving away from what is disliked．
D．Feeling helpless in the face of anger．
70．What is the key message of the last paragraph？D
A．How anger differs from other emotions．
B．How anger relates to other emotions．
C．Behavioural responses to anger．
D．Behavioural patterns of anger．

9．My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid，first-generation，Italian immigrant．She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8years old．During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food，and an attack by a German U-boat．After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America．They never had much money but were rich in love．
One day，when I was about 5or 6years old，my parents and brothers went on a trip．It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend．Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself．She made me a special breakfast that first morning．However，all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it．Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room．I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes．It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it．
I walked over to Nanny，climbed on her lap，and for the first time in my short life I did something else too．I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me．She smiled，rubbed my head，and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one then．
That memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart forever．It is a sign of both strength and wisdom．Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn，to grow，and to love．
