You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair — not just whether they brush, spray or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications.

Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human’s body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen(氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues, fingernails, and hair.

But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen, for example, there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope(同位素). And depending on where you live, tap water contains different isotopes.

Can hair record this information? That’s what James R. Ehleringer, an environmental chemist at the University of Utah, wondered. To find it out, he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the researchers have found that people’s hair has the same isotopes as found in local tap water. That’s probably because people usually cook their food with the local water.

Authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues. For example, one hair sample used in Ehleringer’s study came from a man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew, it reflected his change in location.

1.What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes according to Paragraph 3?

A. They are classified by size.

B. Each type of them differs in weight.

C. They can improve the quality of tap water.

D. Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.

2.Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their hair?

A. People use the same bottled water.

B. People wash their hair in different ways.

C. People’s hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.

D. People’s hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.

3.The last paragraph is mainly to show _______.

A. how to recognize criminals B. how to collect hair samples

C. the usefulness of hair analysis D. the process of Ehleringer’s study

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Water composition B. Change your hair

C. Hair detectives D. No way out

14．In the summer of 2014，about 17million people posted videos of themselves dumping （倾倒） ice water over their heads．Even many famous people，including singer-songwriter Taylor Swift，basketball player LeBron James，and former U．S．President George W．Bush，took part．Why did they do such a strange thing？
Those in the Ice Bucket Challenge all helped raise  awareness  （意识）  and money  to  fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis （ALS），a deadly disease．It is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease，after a famous baseball player who had it．It destroys neurons （nerve cells） that control muscle （肌肉） movement．
Each year，about 5，600people in the U．S．are diagnosed （诊断） with ALS．The disease leads to the inability to move．Many people die two to five years after learning they have it．Right now，there's no right treatment for ALS．But the Ice Bucket Challenge may help lead to one．
"Before  the  Ice  Bucket  Challenge，few people knew about this terrible disease，"Jonathan Ling said．He is one of the scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland．His team was unable to complete its research without the money raised through the Ice Bucket Challenge，Ling says．
Through their research，Ling and his team discovered that a protein （蛋白质） is damaged in most ALS patients．The scientists also found that nerve  cells with these damaged proteins  die quickly．But when the scientists put a new protein that acted like the damaged one into the nerve cells，the neurons came back to life!
Thanks  to  the  team's  research，experts believe they may be one step closer to a treatment that slows down or even stops ALS．Still，more research needs to be done，Ling admits．With that in mind，the ALS Association is promising that the Ice Bucket Challenge will continue every August until a good treatment is found．
32．What can we learn about ALS？A
A．No one knows how to treat the disease．
B．It is also named after a singer．
C．People will die a few days after they have it．
D．It can make people lose the ability to hear．
33．What might be Ling's attitude to the Ice Bucket Challenge？D
A．Worried．
B．Doubtful．
C．Uninterested．
D．Thankful．
34．According to the text，Ling's teamC
A．knows little about ALS
B．is now short of money
C．has made some progress
D．needs more researchers
35．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．How the Ice Bucket Challenge started
B．The Ice Bucket Challenge and ALS
C．Jonathan Ling，great ALS researcher
D．Some little-known facts about ALS．

1．In all fields of life，and particularly within the commercial world，when managed effectively，competition can deliver a wealth of benefits．It can provide individuals with the motivation they need to work hard and achieve objectives．It can encourage effective teamwork as managers seek to use the different strong points of team members to secure the best team performance．It can contribute to greater commitment to quality as people seek to use this as a way to beat their competitors．Healthy competition can cause the development of creativity as individuals seek out all possible ways to get ahead of the crowd．It can also help managers to identify which individual makes progress under pressure and which is better suited to less stressful roles．
However，employers can often find it difficult to agree on the type of competition they want within their organization，the targets they'll use and the measurement techniques they'll apply．For example，it's common for businesses to give different sales teams clear targets with the lure（诱惑）of the highest bonuses for the top performers．While this will usually give rise to healthy competition，it can also mean that important long-term projects get pushed to one side as the team devotes all its energy to achieving the short-term target．So it's important that the goals and objectives which are set for teams are in line with wider business requirements．Additionally，in very competitive organizations，managers should get individuals to see the bigger picture and act in the best interest of their organization as a whole，rather than to follow the very narrow targets they have set as individuals or as a team．
Thus，employers have to be careful not to let competition have a ruinous effect on morale （士气） at any level．Equally，businesses should introduce clear processes and guidelines that prevent individuals from different teams quarrelling about the allocation of sales income if parties from different teams have worked together to win a contract（合同）．Infighting such as this is always damaging．Moreover，managers must also be alert to the risk of creating conditions where bullying（欺凌） can be used．
To encourage healthy competition in an organization，you must introduce very clear policies regarding competition and ensure the information is communicated effectively．Individuals must know what behavior is acceptable within a competitive environment，and what behavior is considered not acceptable．Also，you should ensure that individuals are measured against all desirable targets but not one simple goal．Ensure that you have senior managers who are able to take a"helicopter view"and judge fairly between teams for the greater good when arguments do unavoidably arise．

Healthy competition
（71）Benefitsof healthy competition	•Competition can keep individuals （72）motivated to work hard towards goals． •With each member's （73）strengths used effectively，the team will work better and more productively as a whole． •Healthy competition can encourage everyone to work more （74）creatively． •It helps managers to learn about their employees．
Challenges in encouraging healthy competition	•●Sometimes competition makes teams （75）focus on short-term goals instead of long-term goals． •Sometimes competition makes individuals （76）ignore the whole organization's interests and then just follow their own narrow targets．
What to avoid for healthy competition	•Avoid letting competition （77）ruin morale． •Avoid using （78）unclear processes and guidelines that can result in infighting． •Avoid creating conditions where individuals bully each other．
Tips on encouraging healthy competition	•Make policies about what can be done and what is （79）unacceptable． •Assess individuals on a comprehensive basis． •Choose senior managers who can make fair （80）judgments about arguments．

Investing in yourself

Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.

1. Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.

You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 2.. There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.

So what are some specific things you can do? 3.. Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.

You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 4.. Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.

Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration. 5.. But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

A. This is just one way.

B. The benefits will stay with you.

C. If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that.

D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.

E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.

F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.

G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.
