The population of the Earth is growing faster. It is

important that we look after the Earth. We need it!

The Earth gives us a lot of thin gs. We also give the

Earth a lot, but some of the things are not good.

In nature, when something dies, other animals and pla

nts get food from it. Every ani mal or pla nt gives food for

other animals or plants. However, animals can't get food

from many of the things that we give ' the Earth. Animals

and plants can't eat metal, plastic and glass. These things

will stay in the ground for many, many.

Some rubbish is very dangerous for plants and ani

mals. In some places, many ani mals live together. One animal

makes food for many more animals. If we put rubbish and

chemicals in the water, the plankton （ 浮游生 物）can die. If

there isn't any plankton, many animals have nothing to eat.

So what can we do? Don 'leave any rubbish in the

countryside! Don 'make so much rubbish! 51. The Earth gives us ________ .

【例题一】

In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was born. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one's personality. In the past century, a new belief has arisen: the idea that personality is related to one's ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.

The blood-type personality theory （理论） started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takeji

noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. The idea soon went out of fashi on, but was brought back by a Japa nese televisi on host n amed Toshitaka Nomi in the

1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries. Some young Korea ns have take n to the theory. A recent study showed 76 perce nt of Korea ns aged between 13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality connection. Though most Asia ns might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems harmless and not someth ing to be take n too seriously.

There is also the possibility that people are in flue need to cha nge their pers on ality to match the expected stereotypes （思维定式）.A survey of studies made in Japan over a 10-year period found that while in the 1970s there was no relationship between blood type and pers on ality, later studies in the 1980s found that the relati on ship in creased a little. Researchers con cluded that as the belief in the stereotypes in creases, people may be cha nging their pers on ality to follow the blood-type theory.

Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely dismiss the belief as a modern-day superstition （迷信）.Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and pers on ality. Gen erally, scie ntists warn aga inst making predict ions or importa nt decisi ons based on this questio nable theory.

57. The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain _______ .

A. the differe nee betwee n the two blood types

B. the relati on ship betwee n the two blood types

C. the in flue nee of blood type on one ' behavior

A research shows that expressi ons on our faces have a strong relati on ship with our genes （基因）. According to the study, facial expressions of our feelings are innate and are not achieved in cultural lear ning.

This is the first research to show that bli nd people have the same facial expressi ons as the sighted when showing certain feelings —the same facial muscles（肌肉）start working. What's more, the research gives the new method of how people control their feelings in certain social situations. It states that people do not learn to manage their facial expressions by examining the expressions of others.

In his study, David Matsumoto, San Francisco State University Psychology Professor, examined facial expressions of blind and sighted judo athletes（柔道运动员） that took part in the Summer Olympics and Paralympics（残奥会）. He examined over 4,800 pictures of different athletes who came from 23 countries. Matsumoto found that both blind and sighted sportsmen had the same facial expressions, according to a specific social situation.

“This suggests genes decide facial expressions of feelings,”he said.

One of his findings was the “social smiles”of judo athletes who lost their match and got the second place. It is interesting to find that only mouth muscles are used in social smiles, while during real smiles, shown when a person is really happy, the eyes of a person twinkle and get smaller and the cheeks（脸颊）rise.

“Losers pushed their lower lip up as if to control the feeling on their face and many produced social smiles, ”said Matsumoto, “People blind from birth were unable to learn to manage their feelings with the help of examining other 'sfacial expressions.”He thought that there must be another system involved.

“It's possible that in order to hide sad feelings, humans have developed a system that closes the mouth so that they are stopped from crying, biting or rudeness, ”he said.

57. The underlined word “innate”in the first paragraph means _______ .

A. from birth

B. from daily life

C. from others

D. from teaching

58. According to the passage, real smiles are different from social smiles in ________ .

A. opening the eyes

B. using facial muscles

C. closing the mouth

D. watching others 'expressions

59. How does the writer make us believe the new findings?

A. By telling us an interesting story.

B. By interviewing some researchers.

C. By showing the results of the research.

D. By giving the answers to the questions.

60. Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Smiles and Olympics

B. Blind and Sighted Athletes

C. Social Smiles and Real Smiles

D. Genes and facial Expressions

Youn ger adults who get either little sleep or a lot of it may see a greater in crease in their waistlines（腰围）over time, a study suggests.

The study included 332 African-American and 775 Hispanic-American （拉丁裔美国人） men and wome n aged 18 to 81. The researchers measured their abdo min al （腹部的）fat, at the start of the study and again five years later.

Among the people youn ger tha n 40 in the research, the study found, those who said they slept for five hours or less each ni ght gained more fat tha n those who averaged six or seve n hours of sleep. Those who slept eight hours or more in bed each ni ght also showed a bigger fat gain - but it

was not as much as that see n in "short sleepers."

The findings, according to the lead researcher Dr. Kristen, support the belief that sleep habits affect weight, and health in gen eral. "Sleep is an importa nt part of your overall health --not just in whether you're tired during the day," she said.

As for why sleep time might affect abdo min al-fat gai n, there are several facts:

People who get too little sleep may be too tired during the day to exercise, while those who spend a lot of time in bed may spend less time being active, comparing to people who sleep fewer hours. Research also suggests that sleep loss changes people's appetite-regulating hormones （胃口调节荷尔蒙）--which could, in theory, make them overeat.

What' s more, depression, which is a feeling of sadness that makes peopi think there is no hope for the future, could also be a reas on. He also no ted that it ofte n affects people's sleep and has bee n lin ked to weight gain.

55. _____ will get less fat gain according to the passage.

A. Youn ger adults who sleep for five hours or less

B. People who sleep more tha n 8 hours every day

C. Youn ger adults who are from Africa or America

D. People who sleep about six or seve n hours a day

56. The underlined word “ that refers to ______ .

A. a fat gain

B. sleep habits

C. too little sleep

D. too much sleep

57. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The more we sleep, the more en ergetic we will be.

B. The less we sleep every day, the less fat we will get.

C. Those who are in sad ness could easily get a bigger fat gain.

D. The Africa n and Hispa nic adults easily get a greater weight gain.

【例题四】

Tucked away in our sub-c on scious ness is an idyllic visi on. We see ourselves on a long trip that spa ns the con ti nent. We are traveli ng by train. Out the win dows, we drink in the

pass ing scene of cars on n earby highways, of childre n wavi ng at a cross ing, of cattle graz ing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.

But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

"When we reach the station, that will be Jt_!" we cry. "When rm 18." "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes

Benz!""When I put the last kid through college.""When I have paid off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion." "When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!"

Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

“ Enjoy the moment ” is a good saying , especially when coupled with the Psalm 118:24:

“Thisis the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. "isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

So stop paci ng the aisles and coun ti ng the miles. In stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice creams, go barefoot more ofte n, swim more rivers, watch more sun sets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The stati on will come soon eno ugh.

38. What does the un derl ined word jt ” in paragraph Three refer to _____ .

A. The stati on

B. The retireme nt

C. The college

D. The desti nati on

39. The un derli ned sentence Life must be lived as we go along. ” in paragraph Six means

A. We should give up work ing hard because of regrets

B. We should regard our life as a trip without dest in ati on.

C. We should travel as much as possible to enjoy ourselves.

D. We should appreciate every sec ond and enjoy the process

40 The best title for the passage _____ .

A. Treasure the mome nt

B. Realize the dest in ati on

C. Travel on the train

D. Retur n to the start
