Did you get a flu shot this year? For the first time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US is recommending that all children ages 6 months through 18 years receive the flu vaccine. Vaccines battle diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. A weakened form of the germ is introduced into the body. The body makes special substances called antibodies to fight the germs. If the actual germs were to attack, the antibodies would fight them. Because there are many kinds of flu viruses, scientists must create a new vaccine formula (配方) each year. Researchers must make a prediction. “The flu vaccine is not as effective as the polio (小儿麻痹症) vaccine or the measles(麻疹) vaccine,” says Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. “It’s not a great vaccine, but it is quite a good vaccine.” But a flu vaccine doesn’t work for everyone. There are certain people who should be careful about taking it. Because the vaccine is produced from eggs, those who are allergic (过敏的) to eggs should not take it. If you have a fever, you should wait until you recover. Some people are afraid that they might get the flu from the flu shot. Scientist say that it is not possible, because the viruses in the flu shot are inactivated (灭活的). But some minor side effects such as low-grade fever and body aches could occur. If they do, they begin soon after the shot and usually last only one to two days. 60. What is an antibody? A. An antibody is a vaccine formula B. An antibody is a germ that is introduced into the body C. An antibody is a vaccine that fights diseases. D. An antibody is a special substance to fight germs. 61. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Not everyone is suitable for the flu vaccine. B. The flu vaccine is not so effective as the measles vaccine C. Flu viruses create new vaccine formulas each year. D. People can’t take the flu vaccine at anytime. 62. It can be inferred from the text that _____. A. scientists should change the vaccine formula each year B. vaccines can battle diseases caused by bacteria and viruses C. all children ages 6 months through 18 years can receive the flu vaccine D. scientists are responsible for the side effects of the flu vaccine 63. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The flu vaccine B. Side effects of the flu vaccine C. How to prevent the flu D. Not everyone can get the flu shot |
One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology (精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone (荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune (免疫的) system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it, so to speak), it will become contagious (会传播的) and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts. For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you don"t feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude. It"s often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to success is totally within your control. Use it. 67. We can infer from the passage that . A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseases B. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone C. a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressed D. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking 68. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Feeling and thoughts can generate each other. B. It"s easier to control thoughts than to control feelings. C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude. D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful. 69. Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should . A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism B. be king in your office C. pay no attention to what is going on around you D. control your feeling to what is happening to you 70. The best title to the passage is . A. the Bad Effect of Negative Thinking B. Why Should People Think C. Positive Thinking Benefits People D. Thinking: The Vital Way |
First it was jogging. Then aerobics(有氧运动). Not too long ago, Americans discovered race walking. Now Americans are into a new fitness craze. They’re taking up bicycling. Over hills and down mountainsides and across quiet country roads, Americans are busily rolling along. The number of adults who ride for fitness is around 17 million, an increase of 70 percent over four years ago. Twice as many women as men are coming to the sport. Americans are falling in love with biking because it has speed, the benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery. Bicycling is a very appropriate sport, which is important to people who injured their knees while jogging or whose joints are aching from aerobics. And biking is a real awakening for people who have been into race walking in the past. Race walking is as dull as watching paint dry. The most popular kind of bicycle for people who are new to the sport is the mountain bike, which has a fixed frame with wide tires and upright handles. Mountain bikes also have many gears(齿轮) to make it easier to climb hills. About 5 million Americans ride mountain bikes, compared with 200,000 who rode them only five years ago. Costs range from about $130 for a bottom-of-the-line bicycle to more than $2,700 for an expensive bicycle. Mountain biking has attracted some people who race down the sides of mountains like a bat out of hell. But most riders ride slowly and they rarely venture far from home. The biking craze has brought an unexpected profit(盈利) to clothing and bicycle accessory(附属品)makers. Last year, bikers paid $630 million for biking clothes and accessories. Bicycling seems likely to continue its fantastic growth. 53. Race walking is about as dull as watching paint dry because _______ A. race walking is a slow-moving sport B. the number of adults who ride for fitness has grown 70 percent in four years. C. it has speed, the benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery. D. Americans are taking up bicycling. 54. The bicycling craze has been a profit for _______. A. people who want to ride like a bat out of hell B. bicycle accessory makers C. race walkers D. twice as many women as men 55. What does the underlined word “bottom-of-the-line” mean? A. poor B. modern C. old D. cheapest 56. The main idea of the article is _______ A. riding a bicycle is one of the most dangerous sports in America B. Americans are rolling along C. bicycling is the latest fitness craze to hit America D. most people in America want to own a hand-made bicycle that can cost more than 2,700 |
Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight, or hold more than one job. Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist (精神病大夫) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center. Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year. Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of "Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side." The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things. People also take second jobs with an eye to the future - wanting to try out a new field or gain experience. Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable (不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasn"t tied to one system that ended up failing. Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries - no longer just service, office and sale jobs. “Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausman says. "That makes a frequent change in moonlighting." As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time. Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees" 9-to-5 performance. "The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I"m paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. "If you" re burning yourself at both ends, it"s going to show." Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time. Besides, "it"s fun," Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn"t find just in a full-time job. "It" s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet" he says, "and offering a little variety throughout the day." 60. What is the article mainly about? A. The ways of moonlighting. B. The reasons for moonlighting. C. The problems with moonlighting. D. The kinds of people who moonlight. 61. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ________. A. he found it exciting to do a part-time job B. he needed to make ends meet with more money C. he feared he would lose his present job one day D. he felt more and more pressure from his employer 62. Some companies don"t allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid ________. A. their workers can not do extra-hour work for them B. their workers will be too tired to try their best at work C. their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs D. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time 63. The underlined sentence "It"s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet." in the last paragraph means _________. A. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don" t enjoy B. moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money C. moonlighting strengthens your professional skills D. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different |
Babies are born yogis(瑜伽练习者).Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it.Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back.In short, we lost our balance. Yoga(瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit.It brings us balance.I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999.I had plantar fascitis(足底筋膜炎)in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis.I was desperate for exercise.Yoga became my salvation and even enhanced my other fitness activities.I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it. Yoga becomes part of your physical life.Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other.I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight.“Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K.I.S.S.Guide to Yoga.“Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight.Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day.After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms.When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses.When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses. Yoga becomes part of your mental life.Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses.This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety.I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams.You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired.If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses.In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension. Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life.Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group.Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others.As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness.Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga. 72.What would be the best title for this passage? A.What’s Yoga? B.How I Do Yoga Poses C.The Benefits of Yoga D.The Varieties of Yoga 73.According to the third paragraph, yoga can help people __________. A.grow taller B.lose weight C.become flexible in thinking D.make more friends 74.People feel tired after yoga because __________. A.they consume energy in practicing yoga B.they respond well to yoga poses C.they spend too much time on yoga D.they force themselves into yoga poses 75.If this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph?
