1.When kids hit puberty(青春期),their bodies and minds go through tons of changes,including the larynx,the voice box in the throat.The larynx is what gives you your voice.You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming.When you feel vibrations(震动) under your fingers,you've found it!
When the larynx grows larger during puberty,it sticks out at the front of the throat.This is what's called an Adam's apple.Everyone's larynx grows during puberty,but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does.That's why boys have Adam's apples.Most girls don't have Adam's apples,but some do.
But why is it called an Adam's apple?If you think it's called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat,you're right.An Adam's apple sometimes looks like a small,rounded apple just under the skin in the front of the throat.
This larger larynx also gives boys deeper voices.Actually,girls'voices get a little bit deeper as their larynxes get larger,too.But because boys'larynxes grow so much more,it makes their voices deeper than girls'voices.
The larynx doesn't grow to its new size overnight,though.If you've ever heard a teenage boy's voice sound squeaky(发短促尖叫声的),you've heard a larynx trying to get adjusted to its new size!
28.Who has Adam's apples after puberty?D
A.All kids.
B.Most girls.
C.Most boys.
D.Boys.
29.What makes a person's voice deeper?A
A.The size of the larynx.
B.The length of puberty.
C.The amount of body changes.
D.The shape of one's throat.
30.Which of the following is true about the larynx?B
A.The larynx comes after Adam's apples.
B.The larynx grows gradually in one's teens.
C.The larynx grows the moment a person is born.
D.The larynx is a piece of apple stuck in the throat.
31.What's mainly talked about in the text?B
A.Where an Adam's apple exists.
B.What an Adam's apple is.
C.When teenagers have their puberty.
D.How squeaky a teenage boy's voice sounds.

12.Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride,Lanarkshire,was only 18months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life.The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.
Her mother Ruby turned round and,seeing Ammie horribly burnt,called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital.Twenty percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree.There,using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie's body,doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries,an operation that took about six hours.Over the next 16years,Ammie underwent 12more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4,other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her."I was the only burned child in the street,the class and the school,"she recalled,"some children refused to become friends because of that."
Today,aged 17,Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body.She still has to have two further skin transplants.Yet she is a confident,outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.
She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children's Club,a charity set up last year.This month,Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity's first summer camp."I'll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others."she says.Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops,and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too."I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,"she says,"I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago."

21.What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?D

B.They showed sympathy to her.

16.If you live in an earthquake-prone area,it's wise to prepare your family well in advance for the next"Big One".It's always important to make sure to prepare for earthquakes.Earthquakes are more common than some people realize,and though they rarely end up causing damage,it's important to have your family prepared for an earthquake hit.
Put together an emergency kit that includes food and water to last a week,a fire extinguisher,portable radio,batteries,flashlight,and first-aid supplies.
Note all safe spots in each room,such as doorways or under sturdy tables and desks.Know the dangerous spots,such as fireplaces,windows,mirrors and hanging objects.Point out safety exits and keep those areas clear.
Make sure your family knows where emergency supplies are located.Check to be sure that everyone knows where and how to turn off electrical,gas,and water main valve and switches.Make sure that all family members know how to turn off the gas,water,and electricity in case there is damage after the earthquake that needs to be taken care of.It may prove useful to take your digital camera and make a"How to Guide",customized to your home,for these things which can be stored in the kit.
Establish how and where your family will reunite if separated during the quake.Arrange a place for the family to meet,if you cannot return to your home after the earthquake.If you have a relative outside of your area,arrange ahead of time to use his/her phone number as a contact point.Remember that phone lines will be needed for emergencies,so delay getting on the phone immediately after the earthquake.
Conduct earthquake drills with your family every six months.
Warnings and tips:
Warm clothing and extra sleeping bags come in handy.Games,toys,and books help keep young ones comforted and entertained.Keep what you can pack with your emergency kit.
Turning on light switches or lighting candles can start leaking gas-choose flashlights instead.

13.Some years ago,on a hot summer day in south Florida,a little boy decided to go for a swim in the cold swimming hole behind his house.
In a hurry to dive into the cool water,he did not realize an alligator(短吻鳄)was swimming towards the shore.His mother in the house,looking out of the window,saw the two as they got closer and closer together.In fear,she ran towards the water,yelling to the son as loudly as she could.
It was too late.The alligator reached him.
From the dock,the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator got his legs.That began an incredible tug of war(拔河)between the two.The alligator was much stronger than the mother,but the mother would not let go.A farmer happened to drive by,heard her screams,ran from his truck,and shot the alligator.
Amazingly,after weeks and weeks in the hospital,the little boy survived.His leg were extremely scarred by the animal's attack,and on his arms were scratches (抓痕) from mothers'fingernails where she had tried to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars.The boy lifted his pant legs.And then,he proudly said to the reporter:"But look at my arms.I have great scars on my arms,too.I have them because my mom would not let go."
You and I can identify with (理解) that little boy.We have scars,too.No,not from alligator,or anything quite so dramatic.But the scars of a painful past.Some of those scares are ugly and have caused us deep regret.
But some wounds,my friend,are because someone has refused to let go.In your struggle,maybe someone has been there holding on to you.
24.Upon seeing the alligator getting close to her boy,the motherC.
A.dived into the cool water at once
B.was too afraid to move
C.shouted a warning to her boy
D.got ready to fight the crocodile
25.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A
A.There were scars on the boy's arms and legs.
B.The mother won the"match"because of her strength.
C.A farmer scared the alligator away by hitting it in the eyes.
D.A crocodile attacked the boy when he and his mother were swimming.
26.By saying,"But look at my arms.I have great scars on my arms,too,"the boy really wanted to showD.
A.how deep the scars were
B.what a brave boy he was
C.how recently he had survived an attack
D.how great his mother was
27.According to the author,how are we all similar to the boy in the story?D
A.We can be brave and never let go of our loved ones.
B.We may be faced with danger in our lives.
C.We may have to depend on the kindness of strangers.
D.We may have scars that come from pain and love.
8.Surprising new research suggests it can actually be good to feel bad at work,and that feeling good in the workplace can lead to negative outcomes.
The study of emotions in the workplace,edited by University of Liverpool researchers Drs.Dirk Lindebaum and Peter Jordan,is the(51)B of a Special Issue of the journal Human Relations.
They found that the (52)C held assumption that positivity in the workplace produces positive outcomes,while negative emotions lead to negative outcomes,may be in need for (53)A.This is partly due to this assumption (54)B to take into account the differences in work contexts which affect outcomes.
For instance,anger does not always lead to negative outcomes and can be used as a force for good through acting upon injustices.In some (55)D,anger can be considered a force for good if motivated by violations(违背) of moral standards.An employee,for example,could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker (56)D.In such situations,anger can be useful to (57)A these acts of injustice repeating themselves in the future.
Likewise,being too positive in the workplace,(58)C resulting in greater well-being and greater productivity,can lead to self-satisfaction and superficiality(肤浅).
One article within the issue also finds that,within team situations,negativity can have a good effect,leading to less (59)A and therefore greater discussion among workers which (60)B team effectiveness.
An interesting contradiction(矛盾) is identified in another study of the special issue.Here,people gain (61)C from doing"good"in the context of helplines by providing support to people in times of emotional distress.(62)D,they are negatively affected by their line of work due to people trying to avoid them in social situations.
Lindebaum said,"The findings of the studies published in this Special Issue (63)B the widely held assumption that in the workplace positive emotions (64)A a positive outcome,and vice versa.This Special Issue adds to our knowledge and understanding of how the positive and negative emotions affect the(65)D environment and has practical application and relevance in the workplace."
