            C       ★★★★☆ 

    Deep in a research lab in New Jersey,16-year-old Alon Millet carefully presses out tiny drops of a special solution(溶液) onto rows of bean(绿豆) he has raised from seed. It's a task he,s patiently performed for nearly three years. He is trying to help in the fight against world hunger.

    The US Agency for Inteb iational Development (USAID) — an organization that works to end poverty (贫穷) 一thinks Alon may be onto something very big. The teenager was one of four students to get a US $10,000 award from the agency last year — chosen from among 1,700 secondary schools in more than 70 countries.

    Courtney Mason,the program manager for the US Global Development Lab,called Alon’s work the“most promising” among hundreds of projects the agency has reviewed at science competitions across America. “Alon’s seed breeding(培植) will probably change the way plants are grovel in the developing world,making them survive drought and natural disasters,” Mason said.

    Alon has some of the usual interests of a teenager,like playing video games,but he also loves to read scientific research papers. One day more than three years ago,Alon was reading about research with his father by an Israeli company that had used a certain solution to make trees grow larger. And that,in turn,helped to produce more paper with fewer trees.

    “So I started thinking, ‘What else could this be used  for?’ ”Alon said.

    He chose the mung bean,which is a main food in the developing world,and got in touch with the company,FuturaGene,who agreed to share some of the solution. He started experimenting. Could he make the beans grow larger and survive bad weather conditions? After two years of measuring,testing and examining,he proved that he could. Now He’s on his 26th experiment with his mung beans.

9. What's the purpose of Alon’s experiments?

   A. To write a scientific paper.

   B. To help solve the problem of world hunger.

    C. To enter a science competition.

   D. To win an award from USAID.   

10. What is Courtney Mason's attitude toward Alon’ s work?

   D. He is strongly against it.

11. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

   B. The influence of Alon’s father on him. 

    C. How Alon’s research was performed.

   Here's some good news for the grim: A new study shows that unhappiness itself has no direct effect on whether people will die before their time. Women in poor health are more likely to be unhappy, ：but their unhappiness does not increase their overall ?总体的) risk of e?rly de?th.

   "Earlier research on happiness and health coiifiises cause and effect,” said study co-author Professor Richard Peto. Illness makes you unhappy and causes stress. Illness is the thing causing unhappiness,not unhappiness causing illness. Researchers tracked the health records of 1.3 million women between 1996 and 2001. About one out of SIX in the group said they were generally unhappy. The death rate among the unhappy was the same as that among the generally happy.

   In the new study,women who were already in poor health tended to say that they were unhappy,stressed,not in control and not relaxed. aIf you want to be happy,then the main thing you need to do is remain healthy,^ Peto said. aPeople say that if you but your health depend^ on what you do in your daily life. Going around with a positive attitude but still sm (^mg,that does no good to your health. We need to concentrate on the few important practicial causes of early death.".

   However,this study does not completely shut the door on the possible health effects of unhappiness,because the researchers only looked at how unhappiness affected a person's risk of dying.“Health is a broader (概念) ,” said researcher Ban-eto. Barreto also noted that the sample only included women who,on average,were in late middle age.Therefore,in my opinion,the debate is not yet closed,Ba?eto said. ^Further research is still needed in the ??eld of unhappiness and medical outcomes."

   B. The unhappy have a higher death rate. .

    C. Illness doesn't  necessarily cause death.

   D. Unhappiness doesn’ t  directly lead to illness.

11. Which of the following can best sum up Peto’ s  idea on health?

   A. Rome is not built in a day.

   B. Time and tide wait for no man. 

    C. Actions speak louder than words.

   D. Where there is a will,there is a way.

12. What does Barreto think of the findings?

   A. They are meaningless.

    C. They are not clear enough.

   D. They mislead some people. 

   When the game of fistball (浮士 德球) was invented is not known. What is certain,however,is that its roots lie in southern Europe,perhaps in Italy. The earliest report of the game was written by Roman ：Emperor Gordian III in the year 240. Rules for an Italian fistball were recorded by Antonius Scaiono in 1555.

   In the 16th century the game started to be played. However,it was seen less as a game of competitive nature and more as a game for.(贵族成员) to play for fun. In 1786,Johann Wolfgang von Goethe mentioned flstball games in his diary Italian Journey.

   It was only in 1870 that fistball was introduced to Germany by Georg Weber. The sport was soon seen as a gymnastic sport. Fistball first appeared in 1885 at the German Gymnastic Festival in Dresden. The play and scoring,however,differed greatly from those of flstball as it is known today.

   At the 1913 German Gymnastics Festival in Leipzig,the first Gennan men' s championship was held. In 1921,the first women* s  fistball championship was held. Fistball,while still a game affiliated to the Gymnastics Association,began to grow independently. In 1927,almost 12,000 teams played organized fistball in Germany.

   In order to encourage the development of fistball,the International Fistball Association (IFA) was founded m 1960. The first IFA Men* s World Championship was held in Linz,Austria in 1968 with West Germany winning the gold. The first IFA Women,s World Championship was held in Buenos Aires,Argentina in 1994 with Germany winning the gold.
