Research performed on smokers at rest indicates that nicotine (尼古丁) itself can increase basal metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates, meaning smokers burn more energy than nonsmokers during periods of inactivity. But surveys suggest most smokers smoke not while completely at rest, but while performing light activities such as desk work that can increase metabolic rates by two or three times. Unless nicotine’s metabolic effects increase proportionally with metabolic rates, its influence on weight might be insignificant.Now a study shows that nicotine’s e ffects on body-fuel consumption indeed increase proportionally with increases in activity. “These results indicate that the metabolic effect of nicotine may play a greater part in accounting for body-weight differences between smokers and nonsmokers than w as previously believed,” says Kenneth A. Perkins and his colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.The researchers gave a nicotine nose spray to individuals performing light work — in this case riding an exercise bicycle modified to allow easy riding while subjects remain seated in a comfortable armchair. The activity raised resting metabolic rates two to three times.By analyzing air breathed out, the researchers calculated energy consumption in the armchair bicyclists before and aftergiving the nose spray and compared the relative changes with subjects in the control group given placebo (（试验药物用的）无效对照剂) nose sprays. Relative to their baseline bicycle expenditures, individuals in the nicotine group expended considerably more energy than did those in control group while doing the same amount of work. With nicotine, Perkins says, “It’s as if the body is becoming much less efficient in using i ts stored energy.”While the results may seem discouraging to smokers who’d like to quit without gaining weight, Perkins notes that walking an extra mile a day should make up for the difference in metabolic efficiency. And he says smokers would have to gai n “well more than 50 pounds” to counterbalance the health risks of continued smoking.1.

B. J. Smith. The report claims to have statistical evidencethat children who attend a number of different schools through their parents having to move around the country are more than normally vulnerable to a vicious cycle of low academic achievement. There are also indications, says Professor Smith, of an unusually high rate of psychological dismay among such children.The professor, who has long suspected that the effect on children whose parents travel to different parts of the country in search of work has not been sufficiently researched, stresses that this is not merely an expression of pre judice. “We are not dealing here with opinio ns,” he says, “It’s true, my personal feeling is that for children’s well-being, they should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal attitudes that I or my colleagues may have on the subject.”Capt. Thomas Muller, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two, said, “I’ve never heard such rubbish. As far as I’m concerned, absolutely no harm is done to the education of children who change schools regularly —as long as they keep to the same system as in our Army school. In my experience —and I’ve known quite a few of them — Army children are as well-adjusted as any others, if not more so. What the Professor doesn’t appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt much better than adults.”When this was put to Professor Smith, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were backward or dismayed in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency.“Our findings indicate that while the extremely bright child can cope with regular emotional turbulence without harming hisor her general academic progress, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new le arning environment.”6. What does Prof essor Smith’s report suggest?A) Children shouldn’t change schools too often. √B) Children who have to move around the country arebetter at academic achievement.C) Children attending many schools have caused a certainamount of controversy.D) Children who attend different schools are morevulnerable to vicious diseases.答案：A7. What does Professor Smith think of the findings of the research?A) They are proved by the research. √B) They are just based on his personal feeling.C) They may merely be an expression of prejudice.D) They are based on personal attitudes.答案：A8. What does Capt. Thomas Muller think of children who change schools regularly?A) They can actually deal with the new environmentbetter than adul ts. √B) They do no harm to the education.C) They find it difficult to keep to the same system.D) They are generally ill-adjusted.答案：A9. How does Professor Smith defend himself again Capt. Thomas Muller?A) He suggests that children having regular emotionalturbulence do not harm their academic progress.B) He argues that only a few children will suffer fromchanging schools regularly.C) He stresses that the majority of children tend tosuffer from constantly adapting to a new learningenvironment. √D) He believes that extremely bright child likes toenter a new learning environment.答案：C10. What does the passage mainly talk about?A) How army children get used to a new learningenvironment.B) Whether children would be affected by changings choo ls regularly. √C) The procedure Professor Smith followed to conduct a study.D) The opinions people have about children who oftenchange schools.答案：BRecently there has been a tendency to sympathize with thieves whose operations have been carried out on a grand scale, and no attempt whatever has been made to hold them responsible. Some of the most thievish (像窃贼的) transactions have flourished and are still flourishing. Their success and their wealth are the only things recognized. They are honored as financiers and men of affairs, looked up to and respected.In reality they are nothing more and nothing less than a lot of merciless and heartless thieves. Fraud is fraud and cheating is cheating despite the artistic manner in which it is committed or the size of the scale upon which it is operated.It is time these men were classed properly and placed wherethey rightly belong, for they are no better than the miserable sneak-thief who steals a penny from a blind man’s dog.For the past two or three years working people who have made sacrifices to save a few pennies have been cheated most unmercifully. Their hard-earned savings have been stolen from them by every possible scheme from the obvious looting (打劫) of a bank to the higher and more artistic method of legalized high risk, complex financial products. Men high up in the financial world have lent their names to some of the most shady and notorious schemes that ever dishonored a community or a people. Because of this the most diligent and economical (节俭的) American people have been induced to place their hard-earned and carefully guarded savings in what they were led to believe was a safe investment, only to find out when too late that they had fallen into the hands of a gang of extremely respectable cheats. They cannot recover what they have lost.The thief is too powerful to be affected by the law while the victim is too weak to put its machinery in motion. It may be that the law is defective, or it may be that those having its machinery in charge are influenced by the wealth of the transgressors (违犯者). Whatever or whichever it is that is responsible ought to be investigated and the evil remedied.11. What does the tendency mentioned in the first paragraph reflect?A) People encourage some of the most thievishtransactions to flourish.B) People only respect success and wealth without anymoral judgment. √C) People prefer to carry out operations on a grandscale.D) People have made attempt to hold thieves responsible.答案：B12. How did working people lose their hard-earned savings?A) They lent their money to men high up in the financialworld.B) They were cheated by the bank. √C) They were unlucky in investment.D) They were robbed by the thieves nearby.答案：B13. When the writer says “a gang of extremely resp ectable cheats” in Paragraph Four, it is implied that .A) they are well-educated but ill-behaved √B) they are respectable in artistic cheatingC) they are cheats with respectable goalsD) they are not well-educated but respected答案：A14. What could be a possible reason for the thieves to escape from law according to the passage?A) They are powerful enough to ignore the law.B) There are defects in the law. √C) They are wealthy enough to compensate the victims.D) The victim is too weak to investigate them.答案：B15. It can be inferred from the passage that .A) there are too many thieves and robbersB) industrious and honest people should be highly paidC) moral standards are always upheldD) any thief should be punished √答案：DPeople often ask which is the most difficult language to learn,and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.Some people seem to learn languages readily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.Apparently, British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian. Thisdoes not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone, but it causes British diplomatic personnel, who are generally used to learning languages, the most difficulties.Different cultures and individuals from those cultures will find different languages more difficult. In the case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system, which uses a similar alphabet, but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers of related languages may find it easier, while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy.16. Why is it hard to say which language is the most difficult to learn?A) Because it is only relevant when learning a second language.B) Because differences between languages areunimportant.C) Because people learn their mother tongue naturally.D) Because many factors have to be considered. √答案：D17. Who will find Portuguese much easier to learn?A) A native speaker of JapaneseB) A native speaker of HungarianC) A native speaker of Spanish √D) A native speaker of Chinese答案：C18. What is the most problematic language to British diplomats and other embassy staff?A) Japanese B) Spanish C) Hungarian√D) Chinese答案：C19. Why do many people think Chinese is the hardest language to learn?A) Because the pronunciation of Chinese is difficult.√B) Because the grammar of Chinese is complex.C) Because Chinese is not directly used in their life.D) Because Chinese uses the Roman alphabet.答案：A20. What factors cannot affect learning a second language according to the passage?A) each learner's motivation for learningB) neighboring countries √C) teachers and the circumstancesD) first language答案：BIn 1976, Winkler wrote a My Turn about the overwhelming reaction to the character he played on the popular television sitcom (情景喜剧), “Happy Days”. The show was at its peak, and Fonzie was its superstar. In fact, Americans related so strongly to the character that Winkler became apparently permanently part of the country’s b road, extended family. Three decades later, fans still greet the actor with Fonzie’s signature thumbs-up sign and a long, drawn out “Aaay!”“All these years later, the warmth I am treated with is unbelievable, and it’s all over the world,” Winkler says. He no longer receives the 50,000 fan letters a year that he got during “Happy Days”’s original run, but they still co me by the hundreds. And on the street, folks tend to have a common reaction. “They thank me for making them laugh for so long.They say, ‘I grew up with you,’ or ‘my children grew up with you,’ or, ‘we sat and watched it together’,” he says.Winkler says his Fonzie days came back to him vividly as he read over his old My Turn. Cast on his 28th birthday, the Yale-trained performer had been a struggling actor, dreaming of fame. The dream turned real very quickly. “We were hardly on the air when this thing started to snowball, going from zero to 60 in about three seconds,” Winkler recalls.Today, Winkler gives speeches to college students about living their dreams, focusing on how to become a successful actor. “If you are determined, have a sense of humor and never take your eye off what it is you want, you can actually have it,” he says.Winkler is also at work on his first children’s book, co-authoring with Lin Oliver. He was recently named executive producer of “Hollywood Squares” and produc es the show “Intuition” on the Game Show Network. His next movie, “Holes”, based on a children’s book, is scheduled for release this winter. In October 2000, Winkler made his Broadway debut costarring with John Ritter in the show “The Dinner Party.”But through it all, Winkler remains Fonzie. “I think he is the architect of my home, of my professional life, and of my good fortune in the world,” Winkler says. “He literally is the foundation for everything that was to come.”21. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as fans’ reaction to Fonzie?A) Fans write lots of letters to Winkler for many years.B) Fans thank Winkler when they meet him on the street.C) Fa ns greet Winkler by imitating Fonzie’s signature.D) Fans sit and watch the sitcom together with Winkler.√。

打破魔术的气泡如今心理学家们认识到魔术师对人们如何感知世界了解甚多。
Alok Jha发现了观众是如何让自己受骗的。
人们首先感到的是震惊，略带点不信任。
接下来的一刻是惊叹。
然后，一阵很大的骚乱扭曲了大家的理智，你已经上当了。
你无法抗拒一个好的魔术的影响。
从Houdini的惊天逃生和Derron Brown虚幻的精神欺骗，再到儿童聚会上的魔术表演，无人能抵抗魔术的魅力“魔术由来已久，并与时俱进。
”来自Hertfordshire大学的心理学教授Richard Wiseman 说，“一个魔术结束时，你在看的大都是一些专业技术效果。
我想心理学家们从这点可以学到很多。
但是，心理学家并不满足于欣赏魔术，现在正利用魔术对心智的影响揭秘我们如何处理涌入大脑的感官信息的洪流，以及如何将其加工成属于现实世界而又来自精神世界的画面。
魔术是一种欺骗，是对精神世界中有序画面的扰乱——物体好像漂浮在半空中，硬币或者纸牌在眼前消失。
如今科学家们相信，通过详细描绘出我们的心智是如何被欺骗的，甚至可以解开意识本身的一些奥秘。
“在过去的5年里，当我们看到诸如对变化视而不见之类的事情以及又一事实，即意识来自真实的构建，也甚至可以来自错觉的误导时，我们做了反省。
”身为技艺精湛的魔术师并为Magic Circle（魔术圈）成员的Wiseman说，“现今人们意识到了魔术师做的事非常特别。
”一些现代心理学的创始人曾对魔术师颇有兴趣：在19世纪90年代，现代IQ测试的发明者Alfred Binet和Max Dessoir记录了关于魔术师们如何利用暗示和注意力转移让那些错觉发挥作用的方式。
1986年，Joseph Jastow在《科学》杂志上发表了关于当时大魔术师们的一些魔术使用的手法的文章。
但这些文章只是描述了魔术师所做的，无力解释为什么魔术会对观众产生这样的影响。
结果，人们对研究魔术中的心理学的兴趣消失了近一个世纪。
但是，正如Wiseman所说，这一兴趣正在全力复兴。

This growing global identity in large part is made possible by the forces of modern information,communications and transportation technologies. Global citizenship aims to empower people to lead their own action.
