The Healthy Habits Survey (調(diào)查) shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.
1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?
Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.
Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.
2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?
Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30%wash their hands only 4 times a day-half of the number doctors recommend.
Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs (病菌) to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.
3. How often do you think about fighting germs?
Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.
Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海綿) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

The next time your face turns red after tripping(絆倒) over your own feet in public, don’t try to hide it—a new study finds that showing your embarrassment actually makes other people view you as more reliable.
Researchers at the University of California have carried out the study and found that embarrassment is a good signature of a person to whom you can entrust valuable resources.
Not only are the findings useful for people seeking cooperative and reliable team members and business partners, but they also make for helpful dating advice.“Moderate(適度的) levels of embarrassment are signs of virtue. Our data suggests embarrassment is a good thing, not something you should fight.”said Matthew Feinberg, who led the study.
While the most typical gesture of embarrassment is a downward gaze to one side while partly covering the face, a person who feels shame, as distinguished(區(qū)別) from embarrassment, will typically cover the whole face, Feinberg said.
The results were got from a series of experiments. In the first experiment, 60 college students were videotaped describing embarrassing moments, such as making incorrect assumptions(假想) based on appearances. The college students also participated in the “Dictator Game” which is used in economics research to measure altruism(利己主義). For example, each was given 10 raffle tickets(獎(jiǎng)券) and asked to keep a share of the tickets and give the reminder(提示物) to a partner.
The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, showed that those who showed greater levels of embarrassment tended to give away more of their raffle tickets, indicating(﹦showing) greater generosity.
小題1:According to the passage, which of the following is thought to be reliable?
A．A person who feels shame.
B．A person who hides his embarrassment.
C．A person who shows his embarrassment.
D．A person who gives away more raffle tickets.
小題2:We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A．it’s useless to fight our embarrassment
B．people should try to overcome their embarrassment
C．embarrassed people are not good at doing business
D．people who show embarrassment can be good business partners
小題3:The “Dictator Game ” is used to _________.
A．measure the students’ economic status
B．test whether a student is generous or not
C．determine the different levels of embarrassment
D．record how each student reacts during embarrassing moments
小題4:We learn from the last paragraph that those who showed greater levels of embarrassment ____.
A．proved to be more generousB．kept more of the raffle tickets
C．didn’t care for raffle ticketsD．were less reliable

School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or a formula by heart. It is actually quiet easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula(公式) in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientist, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful and invented so many things for men. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
小題1:According to the passage, a good teacher should be one who is to_________.
A．help his students to gain a good memory.
B．train his students’ ability to learn
C．teach his students everything he knows
D．have his students studying long hours
小題2:If a student want to learn better, the most important thing for him to do is_______.
A．to learn all the useful facts and formula by heart
B．to do everything as his teacher have said in class
C．to absorb (吸收) as much knowledge from his teacher as possible
D．to think more while he is studying
小題3:The main reason for the success of the great scientists is that________.
A．the teachers who had taught them were all experienced.
B．they used to work and study without a moment’s rest.
C．they had received more schooling than other people
D．they know how to study and worked hard
小題4:What’s the good advice the writer gives us?
A．We can learn better without teachers
B．We should do more asking and thinking while studying
C．We should pay enough attention to classroom
D．Book knowledge is of little use

How long you live has a lot to do with your environment and lifestyle, but exceptional(特別的)long life may have even more to do with your genes. For the first time, researchers have discovered a genetic recipe(基因譜)that accurately predicts who may live to 100 and beyond.
Analysis shows that 90% of the participants who lived to 100 had at least one of the signature genetic clusters(標(biāo)志基因組). Dr. Thomas Perls at the Boston University School of Medicine said, “We realize this is a complex genetic puzzle. There is a long way for us to go to understand how the integration(融合)of these genes—not just with themselves but with environmental factors—is playing a role in this long life puzzle.”
Perls has studied many factors that contribute to long life, and he is the first to acknowledge that living longer isn’t likely to be simply a matter of genes. His previous work has shown, for example, that among most elderly people who live into their 70s and 80s, about 70% can owe their long life to environmental factors such as not smoking; eating a healthy, low-fat, low-calorie diet; and remaining socially engaged and mentally active throughout life.
It seems clear that those who live extremely long are benefiting from a special DNA. In fact, Perls believes that the older a person gets, the more likely it is that his or her genes are contributing to those extended years.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A．Most long-living people have special long-life-related genes.
B．Ninety percent of the participants lived to 100 years of age.
C．All the long-living people have only one signature genetic cluster.
D．Scientists know how the integration of the genes helps people live long.
小題2: Perls may most likely agree that         .
A．most people living extremely long benefit from not smoking
B．living longer just depends on certain genetic recipes
C．environmental factors play an important role in long-living
D．being mentally active has nothing to do with living an old age
小題3: Which of the following is FALSE according to the text?
A．Remaining socially engaged helps a person to live long.
B．A genetic recipe can accurately predict who may live to 100 and beyond.
C．Perls is the first to think living longer is just a matter of genes.
D．The older he gets, the more likely the genes contribute to his extended years.
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Genes May Predict Who Lives to 100B．Environment And Genes
C．Genes, the Secret of Long LivingD．Lifestyle And Genes

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘蓬)built into a street lamp,” he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians (行人) shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
小題1:For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?
A．To predict a heavy rain.
B．To check the weather forecast.
C．To protect people from the rain.
D．To remind people to take an umbrella.
小題2:What do we know from Belyaev’s worlds in Paragraph 2?
A．His creation was inspired by an experience.
B．It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.
C．Street lamps are protected by canopies.
D．He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.
小題3:Which of the following show how the Lampbrella works?
A．motor→canopy→sensors B．sensors→motor→canopy
C．motor→sensors→canopyD．canopy→motor→sensors
小題4:. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The designer will open a company to promote his product.
B．The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.
C．The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
D．The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

If your idea of a good time is to sleep in a hut, carry your own rubbish, and eat insects and wild animals, then ecotourism may be just for you. But is it also for people who want to fly over a rainforest sky before checking into a comfortable and expensive hotel in the middle of a national park? Whatever ecotourism is, it is hot--perhaps too hot for its own good.
The World Tourism Organization claims that the industry looked after 592 million travelers last year who spent $423 billion, and of all the types of tourism, ecotourism seems to be the fastest growing. By the broadest measure -- a trip with some sort of nature or wilderness element -- ecotourism already accounts for perhaps a third of these travelers. On a stricter definition favored by the Ecotourism Society, it is “responsible travel that preserves natural environments and keeps up the well-being of local people,” which accounts for no more than 5% of tourism.
Ideally, ecotourism helps both people and nature. Before the disastrous civil war, Rwanda’s Mountain Gorilla Project was one such model. Visits to the gorillas were limited, local guides ensured good behavior or on the part of the humans, and the high admission charge - $170 a day -- paid for salaries and presentation of the gorillas’ living areas. As this made the gorillas worth more alive than dead, poaching (偷獵) decreased. As another example, preservation Cooperation, Africa’s largest ecotour operator, uses only local labor, buys products 5om local farmers, and supports building projects: such as clinics and schools. This contribution to social advance is also good business sense. Projects from which local people benefit directly are less likely to be affected by poaching and theft.
Ecotourism’s biggest problem is labeling. Going on an eco-tour is no guarantee of good ecology. So far, only Australia has an official system to grade tour operators and tourist attractions on the basis of their “greenness”. Another issue is how eco-tourists damage the environment. Dolphin-feeding, for instance, is innocent and enjoyable, but after too many free meals, the dolphins forget how to catch their own dinners.
Keeping prices high is one way to limit enthusiasm. But measuring the effect of ecotourism on human environments is trickier. It is common, for villagers to see ecotourism as a source of new income. Hence, the very tourists who venture in search of traditional cultures end up breaking them up. As ecotourism becomes more popular, it will finally threaten the very things that are good for business.
小題1:According to the passage, ecotourism may _________.
A．harm its own purpose by becoming too popular
B．save the environment by becoming more popular
C．harm its own purpose by becoming less popular
D．save the environment by becoming less popular
小題2:Within the tourism industry as a whole, ecotourism _____________.
A．has no single, clear definition that would satisfy everybody
B．has expanded less rapidly than other types of tourism
C．claims that no comfortable hotels should be used by tourists
D．most often has a negative effect on local culture
小題3:Rwanda’s Mountain Gorilla Project is a good example because ___________.
A．tourists were free to visit the gorillas whenever they wanted to
B．local people’s attitudes toward animals were not affected
C．the gorillas were protected from both tourists and local people
D．the gorillas’ living area was modernized because of the high admission
小題4: _________ most directly benefits the local community.
A．Rwanda’s Mountain Gorilla ProjectB．Preservation Corporation
C．Australia’s grading systemD．Dolphin-feeding

While only about 200 astronauts have had the excitement of looking down at Earth and commanding systems on the International Space Station, actually thousands of everyday middle­school students have experienced by Middle School Students, or EarthKAM, a camera system.
EarthKAM is an educational activity and outreach(擴(kuò)展)investigation that also results in remote Earth sensing and observation. Using the Internet, the students control a special digital camera fixed aboard the space station, enabling them to photograph the Earth's coastlines, mountain ranges and other geographic items of interest from the unique advantage point of space.
While EarthKAM offers a powerful way for students to investigate Earth from the unique perspective of space, it is also inspiring the next generation of flight controllers for space programs—involving university students to control and operate the camera system and related activities from the ground.
In the interview, Brion Au, one of the investigation developers at NASA's Johnson Space Centre, said，“EarthKAM is a payload(有效載荷)by students, for students. They are in charge. This system provides a viewpoint that the astronauts have...it's just awe­inspiring！”So far, students have captured more than 40,000 photos of the Earth from the space station as it orbited the Earth once every 90 minutes, traveling at 17,500 miles an hour. The team at EarthKAM posts these photographs online for the public and participating classrooms around the world to view.
Au explains that this education investigation is inspiring students to explore the world by examining Earth, while promoting social studies, art, geography, science, technology, and math, among other important lessons involving research and teamwork. EarthKAM was started by Dr. Sally Ride, originally flying on the shuttles. The camera is located in the window Observational Research Facility, also known as the WORF, one of many the station's research facilities.
小題1:How have thousands of students experienced similar excitement as astronauts?
A．In the space station.B．In the spaceship.

Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino （厄爾尼諾）. The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.
One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe（津巴布韋）, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.
The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication（出版物）Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.
小題1:El Nino is known as ___.
A．the changing of the weather in southern Africa
B．the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean
C．the weather which brings drought（旱災(zāi)）to Africa
D．the weather phenomenon（現(xiàn)象）that brings heavy rains to Africa
小題2:Scientists study El Nino in order that ___.
A．they can provide a kind of early warning to the place that will suffer from drought
B．they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rain
C．they can do some research work in this field.
D．they can put all this information into their computers.
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Scientists come to understand how El Nino appears.
B．Three scientists from the USA work on this subject.
C．Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger.
D．El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe’s poor crops.
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A．The computer is used in this research work.
