20.Pick up a pencil.Lift your foot.Raise your arm.These directions may sound simple,but many parts of your body must work together for you to make those movements.Your joints are parts of your body that help your bones move.With little effort,joints move bones in different directions.But some people's joints do not work well because of illness or injury.Their joints sometimes have to be replaced with artificial ones.
Joints look simple.You might think that scientists would have no trouble making artificial joints that work as well as real joints.After over a century of trying,scientists are just beginning to find ways of making artificial joints that work well.
What problems have to be solved in building an artificial joint?First,some joints have to be strong enough to support most of a person's weight.The first artificial hip-joint,built in 1891,failed because it could not hold up a person's weight.
Second,joints have to be flexible to allow movement in different directions.
Third,joints must be made of materials that the body will not reject.Usually,the body reacts to foreign substances by producing cells that attack and destroy the substances.To the body an artificial joint is a foreign substance that should be destroyed.
Scientists have finally found ways to solve these problems.Nowadays the artificial knee-joint is made of a special metal and plastic.The metal is a combination of silicon (硅) and stainless steel.The metal is strong,so it can support the weight of the body.The plastic is a flexible material.It allows the joint to move easily.Medicines have been discovered that will prevent the body from rejecting the artificial joint.People who have lost the use of a joint can get an artificial joint that works almost as well as the original one.

81.Which parts of our body help our bones move?(No more than 2 words)The joints
82.How many years have scientists been working to find ways of making artificial joints that work well?(No more than 4 words)Over a century                                        
83.How does our body react to foreign substances?(No more than 9 words)It produces cells that attack andd estroy the substances
84.Why can the special metal and plastic used for artificial joints?(No more than 10 words)Because the metal is strong and the plastic is flexible.
19.Animals are a favorite subject of many photographers.Cats,dogs,and other pets top the list,followed by zoo animals.However,because it's hard to get them to sit still and"perform on command,"some professional photographers refuse to photograph pets.
One way to get an attractive portrait of a cat or dog is to hold a biscuit or treat above the camera.The animal's longing look toward the food will be caught by the camera,but the treat won't appear in the picture because it's out of the camera's range.When you show the picture to your friends afterwards,they'll be impressed by your pet's loving expression.
If you are using fast film,you can take some good,quick shots of a pet by simply snapping a picture right after calling its name.You'll get a different expression from your pet using this technique.Depending on your pet's mood,the picture will capture an interested,curious expression or possibly a look of annoyance,especially if you've awakened it from a nap.
Taking pictures of zoo animals requires a little more patience.After all,you can't wake up a lion!You may have to wait for a while until the animal does something interesting or moves into a position for you to get a good shot.When photographing zoo animals,don't get too close to the cages,and never tap on the glass or throw things between the bars of a cage.Concentrate on shooting some good pictures,and always respect the animals you are photographing.

35.Why do some professional photographers dislike to take pictures of pets?A
A.Pets may not follow orders.
B.Pets don't want to be bothered.
C.Pets may not like photographers.
D.Pets seldom change their expressions.
36.What is the use of a biscuit in taking pictures of a pet?A
A.To capture a attractive look.
B.To create a special atmosphere.
C.To arouse the appetite of the pet.
D.To keep the pet from looking at the camera.
37.What is the advantage of calling your pet's name when taking a shot of it?D
A.To help your pet look its best.
B.To make sure that your pet sits still.
C.To keep your pet awake for a while.
D.To catch a different expression of your pet.
38.In what way is photographing zoo animals different from photographing pets?B
A.You need to have fast film.
B.You need more time to watch and wait.
C.You need special equipment.
D.You need to stay close to the animals.
18.People are being lured (引诱)onto Facebook with the promise of a fun,free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up their personal information.Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening.Even if they know what the company is up to,they still have no idea what they're paying for Face book because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem,however,is that the company keeps changing the rules.Early on,you keep everything private.That was the great thing about facebook-you could create your own little private network.Last year,the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city,your photo,your friends'names-were set,by default (默认)to be shared with every one on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage,the company is simply making changes to improve its service,and if people don't share information,they have a"less satisfying experience".
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money.In original business model,which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the pages totally.Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington.In April.Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites."I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,"Schrage admits.
I think that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy,it's only the beginning.That is why I'm considering deactivating (撤销)my account.Facebook is a handy site,but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust.That's too high a price to pay.

43.Why do people give their personal information to Facebook according to Paragraph 1?C
A.Because they can get some money from Facebook.
B.Because their information is not important.
C.Because they are promised to have a fun and free service.
D.Because they can also get other people's information.
44.What does the author say about most Facebook users?B
A.They are unwilling to give up their personal information.
B.They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook.
C.They don't identify themselves when using the website.
D.They care very much about their personal information.
45.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A
A.To give better service to its users.
B.To obey to the Federal guidelines.
C.To improve its users'connection.
D.To expand its business.
46.Why does Senator Charles Schumer support publicly?C
A.Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.
B.Banning the sharing of users'personal information.
C.Making regulations for social-networking sites.
D.Removing ads from all social-networking sites.
