Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don’t want to work, and you stay in bed, feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs(细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope(显微镜). They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
Germs can be found not only in water but also in air and dust(灰尘). If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut(割开处), some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.
小题1:Which of the following is true?| A．If things are very very small, they are germs. | | B．If things can’t be seen, they must be germs. | | C．Germs are only in dirty water. | | D．Germs are everywhere around us. |
小题2:Why don’t your parents let you drink dirty water?| A．You haven’t looked at it carefully. | | B．Water can’t be drunk in this way. | | C．There must be lots of germs in it. | | D．Water will make you ill. |

Not all memories (记忆)are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Wars and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and mental scars. Often they appear again in dreams.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill(药丸), which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce（减少）, or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of sad memories.
In November, some scientists tested a drug(药) on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body producing chemicals(化学品) that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the mental effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused plenty of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“Some memories can destroy(破坏) people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a dream. They usually come with very sad feeling.” said Roger Pitman, a scientist of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve(减轻) a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all get away from the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to erase those memories,” said Rebecca Dresser.
小题1:The passage is mainly about __________.| A．a new medical invention | | B．a new research on memories | | C．a way of erasing sad memories | | D．an argument about the research on the pill |
小题2:The drug tested on people can __________.| A．cause the brain to fix memories | | B．stop people remembering their experiences | | C．prevent body producing certain chemicals | | D．erase the emotional effects of memories |
小题3:The word “scars” in Paragraph One is close in meaning to _________.| A．good stories | B．sad feelings | | C．experiences | D．memories |
小题4:Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?| A．Some memories can destroy people’s lives. | | B．People want to get away from bad memories. | | C．Experiencing bad events makes us different from others. | | D．The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories. |

If the child has been brought up in a loving, openly communicative environment, the relationship with parents would be a strong one．It is only when there are ongoing troubles in the relationship between parents and the child that there is a breakdown in communication．
When parents are going through difficulties in their own relationship, the child sometimes develops guilt．The child can hold himself or herself responsible for the breakdown in relationship between the parents．This needs to be explained to the child, who won’t speak out this guilt．
The teenage years are emotionally sensitive years to the outside world．For the first time the child realizes his or her position in society．Friends suddenly become more important than parents．It is during this time that the relationship between children and parents is tested．If the bond with parents is strong, the child will not be influenced by the drug and alcohol culture．If the bond is weaker, the child will end up with problems．

Any problem at this age can be dealt with by a flexible (灵活的) way by parents．Discuss things calmly．Leave the decision to the individual．Make yourself available for any help or support that the child hopes．The child will feel comfortable when allowed the freedom of choice．

It is easy for us to tell who our family members are, but do plants recognize(识别) their own family? Some do, scientists say, according to a report by Science News in early 2010.
Guillermo P. Murphy and Susan Dudley are two plant scientists from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. They did a few experiments with Jewelweeds, a kind of flower that grows in wet, shady spots. They found that the flowers seem to know their own flower family. In their experiments, Murphy and Dudley planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings or strangers.
When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response(反应)suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food. Jewelweeds usually grow in the shade, where sunlight is not enough.
When jewelweed seedlings(幼苗)were planted with siblings, they grew a few more branches than they usually would if they were alone – but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.
According to the Science News report, Jewelweeds are not the first plants that plant scientists have studied for family recognition. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach – where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the scientists found that when sea rockets were planted with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea rockets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots.
Dudley says this just because sea rockets, on the beach, get plenty of sun but struggle for water – so when they’re threatened, they compete for water. Jewelweeds have plenty of water but have to compete for sunshine, so they grow more leaves.
小题1: What does the underlined word siblings mean?| A．Flowers come from foreign countries. | | B．Plants growing in different environments. | | C．Flowers planted with lots of strangers. | | D．Plants that are the same kind. |
小题2: In the text, the writer mentioned the experiments of Jewelweeds to .| A．make a comparison | B．introduce a topic | | C．describe a pretty flower | D．build a new theory |
小题3: According to the passage, flowers planted alone will .| A．grow more leaves than those planted in groups | | B．become taller than those with more branches | | C．grow fewer leaves than those planted with strangers | | D．become ill easily because they can’t get enough shade |
小题4: What can be the best title for the passage?| A．New Discoveries about Plants | | B．How Plants Compete with Each Other | | C．Family Recognition among Plants | | D．Jewelweeds and the Great Lakes Sea Rockets |
