A famous doctor once received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.

The child's mother was very much obliged to the doctor, and she called on him to thank him for what he had done for her child. "Doctor," she said, "you have saved my little son. I don't know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it." The doctor stood up and said coldly, "Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done." The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, "Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is?""Fifty pounds", he answered.

Scientists have discovered a special biological behavior in dolphins（海豚） that could lead to a treatment for late-onset diabetes（晚发的糖尿病） in humans. Studies on dolphins found that healthy dolphins switch into a diabetic-like state overnight when they are not feeding, but return to normal when they eat the following morning.

The extraordinary finding has led scientists to suggest that dolphins have “genetic switch” that allows them to imitate diabetes while they are not feeding for a night, without suffering any ill effect.

If researchers can identify a similar genetic pathway in human, they may be able to develop drugs to effectively switch off diabetes. Some 2.2 million people in Britain have type 2 (or late-onset) diabetes, a figure that is expected to reach 4 million by 2025 as a consequence of rising levels of obesity（肥胖）.

The tissues of people with type 2 diabetes have become resistant to insulin（胰岛素）so they lose the ability to control sugar levels in their blood. The condition can damage the heart, eyes, kidneys（肾脏） and nerves and contribute to 5% of all deaths, according to the World Healthy Organisation.

Dolphins appear to imitate diabetes to keep high levels of blood sugar when food is rare. Like humans, dolphins need some sugar in their blood for their brains to function normally. Venn-Watson’s team analysed 1,000 blood samples（样本） from 52 dolphins while they didn’t eat anything overnight and fed in the morning. At night time, the dolphins’ metabolism（新陈代谢）changed greatly and showed similar characteristics to that seen in people with type 2 diabetes.

“It is our hope that this discovery can lead to new ways to prevent, treat and maybe even cure diabetes in humans,” said Stephanie Venn-Watson, director of clinical research at the National Marine Foundation in San Diego.

A. Humans get some idea of treating diabetes from dolphins.

B. Dolphins can switch into a diabetic-like state overnight.

C. Humans can suffer the same disease as dolphins.

D. Dolphins should be fed regularly to avoid diabetes.

2.The key to applying the finding to curing human diabetes lies in ____________.

A. producing insulin in a larger amount

D. analysing more blood samples from hungry dolphins

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Scientists have found a similar genetic switch in humans.

B. More British people will suffer type 2 diabetes due to obesity.

C. 2.2 million people with type 2 diabetes die in Britain every year.

D. Dolphins imitate diabetes to avoid a high blood sugar level.

4.What will happen to dolphins if not fed for a night according to Venn-Watson?

A. Their metabolism breaks down.

B. They become resistant to insulin.

C. Their heart and kidneys are damaged.

D. They keep high levels of blood sugar.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

You are sure to improve your English if you are determined. But you should always carry on studying. Here is a list of tips to help you.

The Internet is your friend. You probably have already used several websites for your study.

Look for magazines that relate to the subjects you might be interested in, things like Reader's

Digest, National Geographic or Nature. 1. If you invest in a paper copy, you can write and make notes on it.

2. When you are in a test, you are under pressure to understand and answer questions quickly. However, it's better to take time to experiment when preparing for exams. If you are using exam practice materials, try reading the text before the questions, and then the questions before the text.

Read for fun. Australians read a lot as you may have noticed if you travel by bus or train. 3. People who are good at reading are people who enjoy reading.

Practise reading quickly. Try to read in groups of words — the eyes move in little jumps when you read, they do not scan steadily. 4.

Use the strategies of surveying, skimming and scanning, but not all the time. Another strategy you can try is to scan the text first for words you do not know. Check their meaning and pronunciation, and then read the text.

Take it with you. 5. Pull it out and read for a few minutes when you have nothing else to do.

Remember, practice makes perfect, so read for at least 30 minutes a day.

A. Try different reading styles.

B. Put a book or a magazine in your pocket or bag when you go out.

C. You may start your own library.

D. Then see how many words you can read in one minute.

E. These can be read online or in hard copy.

F. Join in a chat room and work in groups.

G. Read something you enjoy, e.g. the Harry Potter stories.
