It was the district sports meet.My foot still hadn't healed(痊愈)from a(n)injury.I hardwhether or not I should attend the meeting But there I was,  3  for the 3.000 meter run.

    “Ready...set...”The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed  4  me,I felt 5 as I fell farther and farther behind.

    “Hooray!”shouted the crowd.It was the loudest  6  I had ever heard at a meet;The first—place runner was two laps(圈)ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.   

    “Maybe I should  7  ”I thought as I moved on  8 .I decided to keep going.Daring the last two laps, I ran  9 and decided not to  10  in track next year.It wouldn't be worth it,  11 my foot did heal。

    When I finished,I heard a cheer一12  than the one I’d heard earlier.I turned around and13  the boys were preparing for their race,”They must be cheering for the boys.”

    I was leaving  14 several girls came up to rile.”Wow you’ve got courage!”one of them told me.

    “Courage?I just  15  a race!”I thought.

    “I would have given up on the first lap,”said another girl,“We were cheering for you.Did you hear us?”

     Suddenly I regained  16 I decided to 17  track next year, I realized strength and courage aren’t always  18  in medals and victories,hut in the  19  we overcome.The strongest people are not always the people who win,20  the people who don’t give up when they lose.

There are three separate sources of dangers in supplying energy by nuclear power(原子能).

    First,the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station.Although the power stations themselves are strongly built,the containers used for the transport of the materials are not,Normally only two methods of transport are in use,namely road or rail.Unfortunately。both of these may have an effect on the general public,since they are safe to pass near, or even through,heavily populated areas.

    Second,there is the problem of waste.All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years.It is impossible to make these wastes nonracial active,and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented For example,they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines,or sunk in the sea.However.these methods do not solve the problem,since an earthquake could easily break the containers.

    Third,there may occur the danger of a leak(泄漏)or ail explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers,this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program.However.it can happen.

    Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry .Taken together, though, the probability of disaster is extremely high.

1.Which of the following is FALSE?   

     A.it is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.

     B.It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across 1and.

     C.The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake

     D.Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.

2.The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are

    A.easy    B.impossible    C.reasonable    D.ineffective

3.What do we learn from the last paragraph?        

    A.The power station is a safe place.

    B.The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.

    C.The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.

    D.By itself,none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry

4.What is this passage about?     

    A.Uses of nuclear power.

    B.Dangers from nuclear power.

C.Public anger at nuclear power

D.Accidents caused by nuclear power.    

LONDON——’Everyone else has one!”Lucy,declared to her parents.trying to get a mobile phone as a gift for her 14th birthday. Her parents gave in.

in the classroom are dying out。   

    For example,“cya”means“see you”;“lol”means“laughs out loud”:and“2nite”is an abbreviation of“tonight”.All these are based on shorthand phrases used oil the Internet.

Many schools have banned students from using mobile phones.But they are not very.Successful. Still phones ring in the class and disturb study.

    Besides,people are worried about the health risk to kids using mobile phones.

    Scientists believe children are especially vulnerable to file mobile radiation,

Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable:humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span。

   “I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),”said Michael Zey,a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future.”I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”

    At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术)make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible m the past。“There is a steal push so that people call live from 120 to 180 years,”he said.“Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”

    However,many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last about 120 years.Even with healthier lifestyles and Jess disease,they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

    Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live.“It remains to be seen if you pass 120,you know,could you be healthy enough to have good quality nr life?”said Leonard Pooh,director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre.“At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

    C.the human body is designed to last about 120 years
