17.Jack Benny was one of the most famous names in show business.As a child,Benny learned to play the violin.After finishing his school,he joined the Navy.He continued using his violin to perform for sailors.In one show he was chosen more for his funny jokes than for his skill with the violin.That experience made him believe that his future job was a comedian.
Benny developed a show personality that had all the qualities people dislike.He was known for being so stingy-he refused to spend any money unless forced to do so.On his shows Benny often spoke of his appearance,especially his baby blue eyes.As he grew older,he always claimed to be 39years old.Benny rarely make jokes that hurt other people.Instead,he would let the other actors on the show tell jokes about him.

Benny received many awards during his lifetime.Perhaps the one honor that pleased him most was that his hometown of Waukeegan named a school for him.This was a special honor for a man who had never finished high school.
Benny continued to perform.He died of cancer in 1974.At his funeral his friend Bob Hope said,"Jack Benny was stingy to the end.He gave us only eighty years."

4.People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans(寿命)that are similar to humans,living for around 50 to 70 years.
    Now scientists believe they know why.A team at the University of Chicago,US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)developing.To be precise,they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants.Most other species,including humans,only carry one copy.
    According to the research,the extra copies of the gene improved the animal's sensitivity to DNA damage,which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.
"An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,"the study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian.If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous(癌变的),large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice.But across species,the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.
    This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named"Peto's paradox(悖论)".Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not.In the elephant's case,the making of TP53 is nature's way of keeping this species alive.
    The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice,they had the same cancer resistance as elephants.This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.
"Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,"said Joshua Schiffman,a biologist at the School of Medicine,University of Utah,US."It's up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people."

18.In 1693the philosopher John Locke warned that children should not be given too much"unhealthy fruit"to eat.Three centuries later,misguided ideas about child-raising are still popular.Many parents fear that their children will die unless ceaselessly watched.In America the law can be equally paranoid (偏执的).In South Carolina this month Debra Harrell was jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play in a park unsupervised (无人监督的).
Her severe punishment reflects the rich world's worry about parenting.By most objective measures,modern parents are far more conscientious (认真的) than previous generations.Dads are more hands-on than their fathers were,and working mothers spend more time nurturing their children than the housewives of the 1960s did.However,there are two problems in this picture,connected to class.One is at the lower end.Even if poor parents spend more time with their children than they once did,they spend less than rich parents do.America is a laggard here:its government spends abundantly on school-age kids but much less than other rich countries on the first two or three years of life.If America did more to help poor parents with young children,it would have huge returns.
The second one,occurs at the other end of the income scale,and may even apply to otherwise rational (理性的) Economist readers:well-educated,rich parents try to do too much.Safety is part of it-they fear that if they are not constantly watching their children may break their necks,which is the least rational.Despite the impression you get from watching crime dramas,children in rich countries are safe,so long as they look both ways before crossing the road.The other popular parental fear-that your children might not get into an Ivy League college-is more rational.Academic success matters more than ever before.But beyond a certain point,parenting makes less difference than many parents imagine.Studies in Minnesota and Sweden,for example,found that identical twins grew up equally intelligent whether they were raised together or apart.A study in Colorado found that children that adopted and raised by brainy parents ended up no brainier than those adopted by average parents.
This doesn't mean that parenting is irrelevant.The families who adopt children are carefully screened,so they tend to be warm,capable and middle-class.But the twin and adoption studies indicate that any child given a loving home and adequate stimulation is likely to fulfill her potential.Put another way,better-off parents can afford to relax a bit.And if you are less stressed,your children will appreciate it,even if you still make them eat their fruit and vegetables.
32.Which of the following statements is NOT a misguided idea of parenting mentioned in the passage?D
A.Children should be protected from any dangers by their parents
B.The more conscientious parents are,the more children will surely benefit from parenting
C.Children will die unless ceaselessly watched
D.Children are likely to fulfill their potential with a loving home and adequate stimulation
33.The underlined word"laggard"in Paragraph 2probably means a country thatB.
A.is ahead in development                           
B.falls slow behind others
C.is free from physical or mental disorder      
D.moves to a higher position
34.Which of the following can we learn from the passage?D
A.Only warm,capable and middle-class people can adopt a child.
B.When it comes to child-raising,Economist readers will become more rational.
C.Children in rich countries are in greater danger due to the bad influence of crime dramas.
D.Although poor parents spend more time with their kids than they once did,they spend less than rich parents do.
35.This passage is mainly written toC.
A.urge American laws concerning parenting to be changed
B.advise modern parents to learn from their previous generations
C.persuade stressed parents to learn to relax and give more freedom to their children
D.call on the government to do more to help poor parents with school-age children.
