AAAGH ! The Generation 90s is coming! Wearing earphones,using complicated Net language and constantly text messaging friends,the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut. Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s profile. Earphones These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Cen-90s. They might lead to MP3,MP4 or MP101 players,giving these young people a plugged-in,cool and perhaps self-indulgent look. Of course, life is not always music to the ears. Martian Language They have created their own code-like online language. It"s a mixture of English,Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation,though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers. Self-portrait Saying " cheese" to their own digital cameras is routine for this generation. A little bit of narcissismc (自恋) never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives. But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online. Text-messaging They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that respects efficiency. Nevertheless,oral communication is important and will never go out of style. |

If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school,then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake,tossing and tuming in bed until the early hours of the moming when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up.you don"t feel refreshed.but tired and wom out and unable to face a new day. Dr Henry Winkle,in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep,indicates that______. Dr Winkle says,"The more we worry,the less we sleep,the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night"s sleep," he adds. "we can often find the energy to deal with what"s worrying us. " So,what is a good night"s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount,though strangely enough,sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed. Dr Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help,but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. " When you put the light out," Dr Winkle says,"concentrate on relaxing your muscles,working slowly up from your feet,and you"ll be asleep before you know it. " |

Have you ever wished you could not feel pain? There are people in the world with this ability. They do not know when they are hurting. Last year,Nature magazine published a report about six children who have never suffered pain.The research team found the children after hearing about a boy who apparently felt no pain. The boy stood on burning coals and stabbed his arms with knives to earn money. He died in a fall before the researchers could meet him. But the team was able to find members of the boy"s extended family. They also seemed unable to feel pain. This may lead to bad results. These children sometimes burned themselves with hot liquids or steam. They sat on hot hearting devices. They cut their lips with their teeth,but felt no pain. Two of the children bit off one-third of their tongue. Yet they could feel pressure and tell differences between hot and cold. Why were they unable to feel pain? Doctor Woods and his research team studied DNA-deoxyribonucleic acid from the children. They also examined DNA from the children"s parents. The team found that all had health. The researchers found that each child received a faulty version of the gene from a parent. The gene is called SCN9A. It gives orders to a protein that serves as a passageway for the chemical sodium(钠). All nerve cells have such passages. This is how spinal cord and brain work. Researchers discovered something important about SCN9A. They linked it to a rare condition in which patients suffer painful burning in their feet or hands. The problems of these patients were nearly opposite to those of the children who felt no pain. "In patients with the painful burning hands and feet, SCN9A was too active. The findings may mean better medical help for pain," Doctor Woods says. |
1. According to Doctor Woods,what do we know about the SCN9A in persons with no pain? |
A. There is no SCN9A. B. There is little SCN9A. C. SCN9A was not active. D. SCN9A was active |
2. What is the purpose of Doctor Woods and his research team studying DNA from the children? |
A. To find out why children don"t feel pain. B. To prove their supposition. C. To obtain some faulty gene. D. To locate the nerve cells. |
3. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? |
A. Some bad results of the patients. B. The cause of the disease. C. The cure of the disease. D. The differences between hot and cold. |

There are news magazines,literary magazines, and magazines for such special interests as photography,sports,art,and music. Some are primarily for men,others for women,and there is a selection of children"s magazines,too. In the United States,there are publications for every taste and interest. | 1.
