阅读理解。     After blogging regularly for two months, people felt they had better social support and friendship networks
than those who didn"t blog. Blogging can help you feel less isolated, more connected to a community and more
satisfied with your friendships. Both online and face-to-face, a new Australian research has found.
    Researchers James Baker and Professor Susan Moore from Swinburne have written two papers investigating
the psychological benefits of blogging-regularly updating personal web pages with information that invites others
to comment.
     The first, published in the latest issue of the journal CyberPsychology and Behaviour. compares the mental
health of people intending to blog with that of people not planning to blog. Moore says the researchers messaged
600 MySpace users personally and directed them to an online survey. A total of 134 completed the questionnaire.
84 intended to blog and 50 didn"t.
     "We found potential bloggers were less satisfied with their friendships and they felt less socially integrated;
they didn"t feet as much part of a community as the people who weren"t interested in blogging …"Moore says.
"It was as if they were saying "I"m going to do this blogging and it"s going to help me"."
     And it seemed to do the trick, as the researchers" second study shows. This study which is yet to be
published, was conducted two months later. The researchers sent out questionnaires (调查问卷) to the same
group of MySpace users, this time 59 responded Bloggers reported a greater sense of belonging to a group of
like-minded people and feeling more confident because they could rely on others for help. All respondents,
whether or not they blogged, reported feeling less anxious, depressed and stressed after two months of online
social networking.
     "So going onto MySpace had lifted the mood of all participants in some way," Moore says. "Maybe they"d
just made more social connections."
     Moore acknowledges this is early research and hopes to follow a larger group of people for a longer period time to test some of the research findings. 1. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The mental health of bloggers.
B. Blogging improves one"s social life.
C. What kind of people are likely to blog.
D. Blogging has become more and more popular. 2. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that _____. A. those who were not interested in blogging didn"t have good mental health
B. people were likely to become bloggers if they felt socially isolated
C. potential bloggers were those who had mental health problems
D. potential bloggers usually held a wrong view about blogging 3. The purpose of the second study is to find out _____. A. what people do on MySpace
B. how many people became bloggers
C. how people felt after blogging for two months
D. how many people kept blogging after two months 4. The second study shows that _____. A. online social networking can do people good

阅读理解。     Each cell in the human body contains about 25,000 to 35,000 genes, which carry information that determines
your traits. Traits are characteristics you inherit from your parents; this means your parents pass some of their
characteristics on to you through genes. For example, if both of your parents have green eyes, you might inherit
the trait of green eyes from them. Or if your mom has freckles, you might inherit that trait and wind up with a
freckled face. And genes aren"t just in humans - all animals and plants have genes, too.
     Genes hang out all lined up on thread-like things called chromosomes. Chromosomes come in pairs, and there
are hundreds, sometimes thousands of genes in one chromosome. The chromosomes and genes are made of
DNA, which is short for deoxyribonucleic acid.
    Chromosomes are found inside cells, the very small units that make up all living things. A cell is so tiny that
you can only see it through the lens of a strong microscope, and there are billions of cells in your body. Most
cells have one nucleus. The nucleus, which is sort of egg-shaped, is like the brain of the cell. It tells every part
of the cell what to do. How does the nucleus know so much? It contains our chromosomes and genes. Tiny as
it is, the nucleus has more information in it than the biggest dictionary you"ve ever seen. 1. What is the best title of this passage? A. What Is a Gene?
B. How Do Genes Work?
C. What Does A Gene Consist of?
D. How Do Nucleus Command Cells? 2. What does the underlined word "inherit" probably mean in the first paragraph? A. carry
B. send
C. obtain
D. pass 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The parents pass some characteristics on to their children.
B. All living things receive traits from the old generations.
C. One"s green eyes might be passed on from the parents.
D. A mother"s freckled face might affect her young"s face. 4. From the passage we can know that _____. A. genes can decide all your characteristics from parents
B. genes exist inside cells that make up all living things
C. genes tells every part of the cell what to do
D. Chromosomes come in pairs containing genes. 5. From the passage we can conclude that _____. A. not all cells have one nucleus inside
B. not all living things are made up of cells
C. genes aren"t in humans but in animals and plants
D. DNA is made of chromosomes and genes

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)      [1]It seems parents have long been right. Going to bed early is key to getting enough sleep and helping
adolescents feel on top of the world, a new study reported.
     [2]A lack of sleep among youngsters may trigger depression and suicidal thoughts, according to the
study by the Columbia University Medical Center.
     [3]"Our results are consistent with the theory that inadequate sleep is a risk factor for depression, working
with other risk and protective factors through multiple possible causal ways to the development of this mood
disorder," said lead author James Gangwisch.
    [4]"Adequate quality sleep could therefore be a preventative measure against depression and a treatment
for depression," he added in the study published in the Friday issue of Sleep magazine.
     [5]The study followed the nightly habits of some 15,659 college and high-school students, and found those
who consistently turned in after midnight had a 24 percent higher risk of depression than those who _______
before 10:00 pm. Night owls also ran a 20 percent higher risk of battling suicidal thoughts, the study added.
     [6]The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends that adolescents should sleep at least nine hours
or more a night. Those who were tucked in before 10:00 pm reported they slept on average about eight hours
and 10 minutes. But that amount of sleep dropped significantly for those in bed after midnight.
     [7]And adolescents who slept five hours or less a night were 71 percent more likely to suffer depression
and 48 percent more at risk of becoming suicidal, the study said.
     [8]"It is a common perception and societal expectation that adolescents do not need as much sleep as pre-
adolescents. Yet studies suggest that adolescents may actually require more sleep." said Gangwisch.
     [9]"Studies have found that adolescents do not go to bed early enough to make up for earlier school start
time. And transitions to earlier school start times have been shown to be associated with significant sleep
deprivation." 1. What"s the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 8 words)
