B

Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other   hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.

When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.

The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.

So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.

Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.

45. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear ______.

48. The best title for this passage is probably _______.

   A. Forgiveness.

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other   36  , including her “sixth sense”, that she seldom gives the impression (印象) that she’s   37   anything. It’s really amazing.

Michelle   38   her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she isn’t too hard on them.   Her children really benefit a lot from her   39   attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that   40   often don’t realize she’s blind.

I   41   this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   42   about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   43   excited about her finger-painting project.

“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to   44    colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle   45   with us”. 

To my great   46  , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my   47   showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment (成就). She really   48   what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt   49   Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come   50   in conversation. When I told my daughter Michelle was blind, she was   51   for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla   52  . I knew my child was   53   because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Michelle had also “heard” Kayla’s   54   in her work.

We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my   55  .” Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

Many people catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder. If scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a way to deal with the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.

When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and brings congestion（拥塞）in it. That is to say, you cannot breathe well. As a result, you feel terrible. However, your body is actually “eating” the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is also killing the virus. Besides, you have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into you. You may feel terrible, but in fact your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.

Different people have different ways to deal with common colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths; some drink warm water, milk, or things like that; other people take medicine to stop the fever, congestion, and runny nose.

Some scientists suggest you should not take medicine when having a common cold, saying that it is bad for you to do that. If you take medicine, your body will stop reacting to the virus and thus won’t have a way to fight it and kill it, which makes the virus stay in you longer. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own.

56. According to the passage, what makes us wonder?

   A. Why we never know which cold we will get.

   B. Why scientists are able to send a man to the moon.

   C. Why scientists cannot find a cure for the common cold.

D. Why there are hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there.

57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage when we are suffering from colds?

   A. Fever.       B. Headache.      C. Runny nose.       D. Congestion.

58. When you have congestion in your nose, ________.

   A. you will not be able to breathe well

   B. your temperature is going to rise

   C. your blood is running too fast

   D. you will have a runny nose

59. According to the passage, people may deal with common colds in different ways EXCEPT ________.

   A. taking medicine   B. taking hot baths   C. eating chicken soup   D. drinking alcohol

60. Some scientists advise you not to take medicine when you have a common cold because _______.

   A. your body will fight and kill the virus on its own

   B. your body will probably react too much to the virus

   C. it will take longer time for your body to get over the virus

   D. it will not be able to stop the fever, congestion or runny nose

Thirty years ago, when the movie version of my novel Jaw was published, few people including me knew very much about great white sharks. For hundreds of generations, we humans have been taught to fear and hate sharks, and the movie touched a nerve of horror.

Now something long thought impossible has happened. A great white shark was successfully held in capacity for several months. In August last year a very young female great white shark was caught accidentally in a fisherman's net off Huntington Beach, California, and then kept in an ocean pen (栏栅) for 25 days. After being moved to the Monterey Bay Aquarium (水族馆), she grew well in the million-gallon Outer Bay Exhibit. She was so lovely that people all liked her very much. Perhaps she was too young to understand that the big tank was not her natural environment, because she didn't hit her head against the walls in an attempt to swim away as others of her kind have done. And she began to feed almost immediately on small fish offered to her on a pole. In the months that followed, the shark suffered no serious injuries, caught no diseases, and grew noticeably larger, breaking all records for great white sharks in capacity. The longest that any other great white shark had been held was 16 days.

Until February 23, that is, when she hit and killed a soup fin shark (翅鲨) , as she grew bigger and her behavior grew more aggressive, officials at the Aquarium knew the time had come. On March 31, after 198 days in the aquarium, the great white shark was released into the Pacific.

Scientists still have a lot to learn about sharks, especially great white sharks which are now considered to be in danger. Scientists do know that sharks are necessary to ocean health. Remove any significant animal from the sea food chain and you will risk destroying the balance of nature.

72. We can see that in the film Jaw the shark was once described as______.

A. a pet of children       B. a horror to human beings

C. a friend of the aged D. a guard of its owner

73. Different from the others of her kind, the young female great white shark was somewhat _____in the beginning.

A. terrible and dangerous      B. fierce and cruel  C. loyal and friendly    D. gentle and lovely

74. By saying that "officials at the aquarium knew the time had come", the writer probably means that the female great white shark______.

A. had to be killed     B. escaped from the big tank

C. had to be set free          D. began to hit and kill other animals

75. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?

A. We should protect great white sharks as well as other ocean animals.

B. The female great white shark will be attacked by some other animals.

C. Great white sharks are becoming more and more

D. We should kill the enemies of white sharks in the oceans.
