10.The oldest forms of medicine are enjoying a comeback.Modern holistic (整体的) medicine is an approach that treats the whole patient,not just the disease.It is a way to maintain good health rather than cure illness.The most important influences on today's holistic medicine are ancient Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine,both of which promoted whole body health.
Holistic medicine usually combines diet,physical exercise and meditation,together with other alternative techniques such as massage (按摩) and acupuncture (针炙).Herbal treatment,a practice of treating illness by using plants,is influenced by the writings of Culpeper as well as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.Homeopathy is one of the forms of holistic medicine which is widely practiced in Europe and the USA.Homeopathy began in Germany in the early 1800s,when Samuel Hahnemann described how very tiny doses (剂量) of a drug had an effect on his patients.According to Hahnemann,the more the drug was diluted (稀释),the stronger its effects.The substance selected would produce similar effects to the disease itself if given in large doses.In the UK homeopathy is regarded as a non-traditional but just about acceptable treatment.
Meditation and contemplation have an important role in holistic medicine.They were brought to Europe by Indian teachers who combined Indian Ayurvedic medicine with Western beliefs.Transcendental meditation is one of the best known of these techniques.People repeat words inside their head to reach a state of deep relaxation.
The holistic movement has made many doctors look at the whole patient,not just the disease.Life-style,emotional problems and diet are just some of the factors that can affect a person's health.Holistic medicine emphasizes good diet,exercise and fresh air,all of which contribute to health.Some clinics now offer holistic medicine along with traditional treatments,so that their patients can choose a combination of treatments that suits them.One problem with holistic medicine is that it is difficult for people to be sure a doctor is reliable.To solve this,many countries want alternative doctors to form professional bodies.

32.Modern holistic medicine centers upon.D
A.curing a disease
B.herbal treatment
C.continuous development
D.keeping patients healthy
33.The principle of homeopathy is that.C
A.the large doses of medicine that will not be harmful will take better effect
B.the disease will be cured sooner by taking larger doses of medicine
C.a small thinner dose of medicine will be more effective
D.the doses of medicine depend on how serious the illness is
34.Which of the following titles best sums up the passage?B
A.Holistic Medicine        
B.Traditional Medicine Returns
C.History of Medicine        
D.Combination of Treatments Works
35.What can we infer from the passage?A
A.Relaxation is the key of holistic treatment.
B.Holistic medicine needs to become more trustworthy.
C.Holistic treatment is more beneficial than traditional treatments.
D.Holistic medicine will become the most welcome treatment soon.

2.How many things can you see in the night sky?A lot!On a clear night you might see the Moon,some planets,and thousands of sparkling stars.
You can see even more with a telescope.You might see stars where before you only saw dark space.You might see that many stars look larger than others.You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue.With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky.And you can see those objects in more and more detail.
But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see.We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world,on the clearest night of the year.
That's because they're invisible.They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes.
You might find it hard to imagine that stars die.After all,our Sun is a star.Year after year we see it up in the sky,burning brightly,giving us heat and light.The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak.But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.
As a star's gases burn,they give off light and heat.But when the gas runs out,the star stops burning and begins to die.
As the star cools,the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center.The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball.If the star was very small,the star ends up as a cold,dark ball called a black dwarf.If the star was very big,it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter than anything in the universe.
Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble.That's how tightly this dead star,a black hole,is packed.What pulls the star in toward its center with such power?It's the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the force called gravity.A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light.The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes.That's why you see nothing but blackness.
So the next time you stare up at the night sky,remember:there's more in the sky than meets the eye!Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes-the great mystery of space.

16.Breakfast is not only the first meal of the day;it is also the most important meal.(36)A Coffee does not count as breakfast.I am talking about food that will sustain(支撑)you for a few hours.Below are some easy breakfast ideas that you can prepare at home.

2.(38)G It is not only economical;it can be a very healthy choice if you choose regular yogurt.You can add some fresh or dried fruit to the yogurt.The fruit will not only provide essential vitamins and minerals but energy to get you through until lunch.
3.Breakfast sandwiches are also a good breakfast idea.What you need to have on hand are chicken,cheese,ham or whatever you like plus some vegetables like lettuce and tomatoes.You can make them and toast them the night before. (39)B In the morning,you would heat them up,add your toppings and you will have a very quick breakfast.
You can use these ideas. (40)E You can even use things you have in your cupboard to create delicious breakfasts.Now that you have some ideas to create healthy breakfast,you will not skip breakfast or go to the drive through to pick up breakfast.

B.Then,cut them into quarters and store them in the fridge overnight.
