There are three reasons 17 the car has become so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a large one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and 18 (cheap) form of transportation.

“Lizzie, there’s a letter for you!” Emily called up the stairs to her sister. Elizabeth looked down. “Is it from Harvard? They refused my application once.” Emily answered, “No, it’s from Yale.” Quickly, Elizabeth walked downstairs. She took the letter and opened it. “Rejected again,” Elizabeth said unhappily. “Who says women can’t be doctors?”

“They are fools not to accept you. You can’t let them stop you, Lizzie,” Emily said.

“I won’t. I’ll apply to Geneva Medical College,” Elizabeth told her sister. As it turned out, the professors at Geneva Medical College were not fools. They allowed Elizabeth Blackwell to study medicine.

In 1848, a year before Elizabeth would graduate, a typhoid epidemic (伤寒流行病) broke out in New York. Elizabeth wrote to Emily. “There’s an outbr eak of typhoid, and I am going to help. It is dangerous, so if I should not survive, please do me the honor of studying medicine yourself.”

Emily replied, “Encouraged by your dream and success, I have decided to study in medical school, as well.”

Having survived the disease, Elizabeth tried to set up a private medical practice. “I graduated first in my class but no one believes a woman can be a good doctor,” she said to Emily one day. “All I hear is that doctors should be men, while women should s tay home to cook and clean.”

Emily said worriedly, “I will graduate in June with my medical degree. What shall we do?” Elizabeth thought for a while and replied, “There’s a big house in the poor part of our town. We can practice medicine there for peo ple who couldn’t afford care.”

Soon with the help of some friends, Elizabeth and Emily bought the house and opened a hospital for poor women and children. “We’ll have an all-women staff ,” Elizabeth said. “And later, we’ll add a medical college for wo men!” Emily added. At last, Elizabeth realized her dream of being a doctor.

In most towns today, it’s not surprising at a ll to see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters. The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.

Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can’t stop playing. They spend hours holding the joystick controls（操纵杆）and pressing buttons marked “fire”. These actions develop pains in their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so the pains have no chance to be cured properly. The players have to move their wrists quickly in order to guide the spaceship across the screen, and this causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so swollen that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warrior’s Wrist.”

Other strange aches and pains are also likely to affect the elbows and shoulders.

Another even more serious problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness and fell to the floor.

Doctors found that she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by frequent lights flashing.

Such cases are not rare but haven’t attracted enough attention from parents. Scientists warn that there may be worse symptoms resulting from these flashing lights. Therefore, the government and the school should take effective measures to teach these addicted children to protect themselves.

31. Electronic games are found very popular with ______.

A. people living in towns

33. “Space Warrior’s Wrist” is caused by _____.

C. tightly holding the joystick controls

D. swollen muscles of the wrist

34. The 17-year-old girl lost her consciousness because _____.

A. she had been playing games for more than two hours a day

B. she used the systems in her father’s workshop

C. flashing lights of the games made her sick

EDGEWOOD---Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district's first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.

Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.

By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.

"Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good," Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.

The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.

They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.

Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.

Not that it was easy. Chevalier's first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools

be selling coffee? What about sugar content?

Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition guidelines.

The whole school has joined in to help.

Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.

36. What is the text mainly about?

A. A best-selling coffee.

B. A special educational program.

C. Government support for schools.

D. A new type of teacher-student relationship.

37. The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to _____.

A. raise money for school affairs

B. do some research on nutrition

C. develop students' practical skills

D. supply teachers with drinks

38. How did Christy McKinley know Ms. Schatzman's opinion of the chi tea?

A. She met her in the shop.

B. She heard her telling others.

C. She talked to her on the phone.

D. She went to her office to deliver the tea.

39. We know from the text that Ginger Gray _____.

A. sees that the drinks meet health standards

B. owns the school's coffee shop

C. manages the Dixie P1T program in Kenton County

D. teaches at Dixie Heights High School

40. Where can we usually read this passage？

A. In a novel.

B. In a newspaper.

C. In an instant message.

D. In a school report.

Anger is good for you, as long as you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier.

"Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger," said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. "The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses."

Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry because the researchers were interrupting them. Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust.

Other researchers recorded the students' blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress hormone (荷尔蒙) called cortisol. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes (糖尿病), heart disease, depression and extra weight gain.

When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study.

"Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is maddening (令人发狂的) situation," Lerner said.

Lerner previously studied Americans' emotional response to the 911 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It's a healthier response than fear.

41. Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?

A. It's better to be angry than to be frightened.

B. Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life.

C. Don't control your anger and it makes you powerful.

D. Pessimistic people are generally healthier than optimistic people.

42. What does the underlined word "both" refer to according to the passage?

A. Fear and anger.

B. Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.

C. Blood pressure and pulse.

D. Blood pressure and cortisone.

43. The researchers made the experimented students angry by ______.

A. recording their performance secretly

B. asking them to count to 6,200 again and again

C. disturbing them and making them start all over again

D. criticizing them when they made mistakes

44. In what way can anger be beneficial to people?

A. By showing their optimistic side.

B. By reducing their stress.

C. By reducing high blood pressure.

D. By taking the place of fear.

45. What is this passage mainly about?

A. The findings of new psychology research.

B. What you can do with anger in certain cases.

C. Different effects produced by anger and fear.

D. Healthier responses in maddening situations.
