     My most memorable experience will stay in my mind forever. For most people, horses are just animals
that should only be used for racing. Ever since 1 was a child, my dream was to ride a horse. When that time
finally carne, my heart beat a thousand times a minute.
     It Was a warm summer day, and we were at a park. My mom was buying several things for home while
I wandered around to find something interesting. Suddenly I found a horse standing other women and children

     For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For
men, to talk is to relate the facts.
     Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending information to other people, but a woman sees
it as a means of bonding (沟通). A woman call spend two weeks on vacation with her friend and, when she

     There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Dr
Michael Lewis conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at baby girls more often than
baby boys. Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more.
As a result, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts (低语) in
reply.

     When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles (肌肉) get tense, and there are changes
in the chemicals in its blood-stream. If the danger continues, it will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as
possible.
     Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared or aroused by other
emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes, all of which make us more alert (警觉的) and ready
to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem that animals
never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said
something in anger-or hit somebody-and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody
you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shout? It isn't
always wise to express your feelings freely.
     Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep your feelings of anger,
sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop,
and you can feel disturbed badly inside, it can actually be bad for your health. You can try to treat emotions as
if they were bananas in the cupboard.
     You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to
deal with them, just like those bananas.
1. By taking cat as an example, the author wants to show us that _______.
A. animals can't control their feelings
B. people can't control their feelings
C. people physical reactions are like those of animals in a way
D. people's bodies go through many physical changes in certain situations, too.
2. It's mentioned in the text that human beings get into trouble because ______.
A. we are not as alert as animals
B. we sometimes can't control our feelings
C. we always do something wrong to other people
D. we don't pay attention to our physical changes
3. The author wants to tell us in the last two paragraphs that ______.
A. there's no way to deal with our feelings
B. we should put some bananas in a cupboard when we're angry or scared
C. feelings will gradually disappear when we hold them in
D. we should neither express our feelings freely nor hide the bad feelings inside
4. The author's purpose in writing this article is to _______.
A. tell us that it's pretty good to keep our feelings inside
B. give some advice on how to express our feelings freely
C. make us deal with our feelings in a wise way
D. make us know it isn't always good to express our feelings freely

     This book is written expressly (清楚地) for students in an attempt to present the material that is most
useful and interesting to them. Previous courses in chemistry are not necessary for the understanding of the
material, although those students who have had high school chemistry will find that a review of the inorganic
section will better enable them to master the organic and biochemistry sections that follow.
     The author has felt that in the past there was an improper selection of material from inorganic, organic,
and biochemistry in the majority of the textbooks of chemistry for nurses. The tendency has been to develop
the inorganic chemistry to such an extent that organic and biochemistry are covered too briefly. The recent
advances in biochemistry and their widespread application to the practice of medicine and nursing have
considerably altered the situation. Not only is biochemistry more closely allied to the practical chemistry of
medicine and nursing, but also it is of more interest to the students. In the author's experience the response
to biochemistry has always been more favorable than to other sections. Within the brief period allotted to
 chemistry, therefore, the sections on inorganic, organic, and biochemistry should be so arranged that a good
share of the time is spent on the study of biochemistry. This book presents mainly those fundamentals of
inorganic and organic chemistry that are necessary for the understanding of the section on biochemistry.
    The fundamental points suggested in the Curriculum Guide are included in the book, with some additions
in the biochemistry section. The author feels that a study of urine, vitamins, nutrition, and hormones is so
obviously a part of biochemistry that at least the fundamentals should be included in this course.
     The book has been planned in such a way that it may be adapted to various courses in chemistry. The
material suggested by Curriculum Guide is covered in the first nineteen chapters and may be used in
accelerated courses or where minimum time is allotted to chemistry. When the time allotted to the course is
sixty to ninety hours, the entire contents of the book may be used to advantage. While the book has been
written especially to fit the needs of schools of nursing, it could readily be applied in instances where students
are required to take but one course in chemistry. The apathetic (无动于衷的) attitude of nonprofessional
students toward a course in inorganic chemistry may well be overcome by the proper presentation of material
selected from inorganic, organic, and biochemistry.

1. This piece of writing is _____.
A. an introduction to a course book
B. a professor's letter to his students
C. the record of an introductory speech
D. from a school announcement
2. To read this book _____.
A. previous course in chemistry are necessary
B. a good mastery of biochemistry is essential
C. one needn't have studied chemistry before
D. one must first review his high school courses
3. In the author's experience, the students are most interested in _____.
A. inorganic chemistry
B. biochemistry
C. organic chemistry
D. chemistry as a whole
4. The underlined word "allotted" in the last paragraph means _____.
A. separated
B. obtained
C. needed
D. distributed
5. Paragraph 4 suggests that one characteristic of this book is its _______.
A. simplicity in presentation
B. thoroughness in the field
C. vividness of the language
D. adaptability to various needs

Dear Editor,
     I'm a Senior 1 student in a middle school. This term, my favourite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches
us. I want to see her, but I'm afraid that she no longer likes me and I don't want to trouble her. I really miss
her. What should I do? 
                                                                                                                                             Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
     It's bad luck that you have lost your favourite teacher. But, if she is still in your school, nothing can stop
you going to see her. When she isn't busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her
she was your favourite teacher. Everyone is happy to know they are liked!
     If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always
come and go in our lives. We can't rely on (依靠) them being with us all the time.
     You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best
qualities. 
     You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new
teacher a chance. In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
      Finally, you can not completely rely on other people getting you through your studies, or even your life.

     One Saturday afternoon years ago I was working in the parsonage (牧师住宅) yard. It was cold and
windy. I welcomed it. Christmas was approaching. I noticed an unusual amount of traffic on our county
road. All of it was southbound.
     "Lois, much traffic is going south today, have you noticed that?"
     "It must be Christmas in the Country." she said.
     "What's that?"
     "A lady turns her whole house into a Christmas open house for the weekend. Every room in the house
and the whole barn are filled with beautiful handcrafted (手工的) items. She serves wassail (酒宴) and
cookies and plays Christmas music. I hear it's quite an event."
     "Why don't you take me?" she asked.
     "Sure."
     We all got in the car to check it out. The Christmas in the Country open house was on a country road
back a bit of lane. When arriving, we saw a field turned into a parking lot full of cars. We had to wait in line
to get in. Everyone was in a festive mood, laughing and joking. They were all dressed warmly and wearing
Christmas things. It was so delightful that we went back year after year and always looked forward to it.
The next year Lois sold her own crafts in the show and did very well for a number of years in a row there.
It was early in the Christmas season and a good way to get in a Christmas mood.
     People will travel a long way for good things. If you can brighten their life they will usually find you
wherever you are. If you will help people in the hard struggle of life you will not be alone. That was true in
the beautiful countryside of Knox County Ohio and I believe it's true in downtown Flint, Michigan and
wherever you live, too.
