The Princess Disease
Have you ever heard of the princess disease？ It is a terrible disease. __26__ It wastes away at one’s social life and people’s tolerance. People with this disease think they are better than everyone else, without a real reason.
Jin is a girl who suffers from this disease. __27__ She thinks she is better looking than her friends and most people she has met. It is, as far as she is concerned, a well-known fact that she dresses better, sings better, and dances better than most people in her school, too.
So is Jin justified in believing that she is better than everyone else？ __28__ Of course, she thinks this is because the singing coach hates her, since the coach has bad skin and is jealous of her. She is good at sports, but she isn’t the strongest, fastest, or even the best at any of their school’s events. __29__ She, again thinks it was because of the "haters". After losing, she pretended she’d just run for fun and it was no big deal, but in fact it was a huge deal to her.
Jin definitely has the disease. The treatment is to stop being so mean and geta little modesty. __30__ She might even get rid of this disease if she tries hard enough.
A.She is too proud of herself.
B.Jin is very popular.
C.Then things might become better for her.
D.She sings well, but not well enough to be a lead singer.
E.It threatens to push one’s friends away.
F.She ran for class president, but came in third
re they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage，she learned something else-to be independent. At twenty-one，she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special
happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. "My English just wasn't good enough." she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her. Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987，she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places-China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.

The British Summer
Britain is well known for its rainy climate. People joke that even in the summer time the country never gets any sun and that the skies stay disappointingly grey even during the months of July and August. Last summer though, it was so hot that people could hardly believe it. British people weren't used to such high temperatures, so every day on the news there were stories about people struggling to work in such unusual weather conditions. Radio and television programmers also reminded everyone to drink more water and not to stay too long in the sun.
When the sun comes out, British people tend to spend time in their garden if they have one. It’s common to invite friends and neighbours around for a barbecue, where everyone sits outside and eats food like grilled meat (烤肉)and salads. There's always a back-up plan in case of rain though, and the meal sometimes has to be cooked in the kitchen and eaten indoors. People also spend a lot of time in parks during the summer, having picnics or playing sports. In every green area, there’s always at least one ice cream van, a kind of car that plays children’s music and sells ice creams. Towns like Blackpool and Brighton are popular for their beaches and amusement arcades(游乐场).People go there to swim, sunbathe and eat fish and chips. The water can be quite cold, though, and that’s why quite a lot of people prefer to go abroad for their summer holiday instead. Popular destinations include Spain, Germany and France: all countries that promise a lot of sunshine!

I don't remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me.I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing.But now she was noticing suffering and poverty.She wasn't even four.
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people.The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person.I signed us up.Nora was excited about it.She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was.When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we'd been assigned.She invited us right over.
The building was depressing.When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress.She took the package and asked if we would like to come in.Nora ran inside.I reluctantly followed.Our hostess showed us some photos of her family.Nora played and laughed.I accepted a second cup of tea.When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged.I walked home in tears.
Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that's good for yourself as well as for others？ Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman's alone — it was in our lives, too.Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless.Yet, as I've watched her grow over these past four years, I still wonder — which of us has benefited more？

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of heir wives.Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed.I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter？” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t？”
“What do you mean？”
“Well… that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago … our doctor… did he tell you something about me？ Tom, you’ve been so good to me… am I dying？”
It took a moment for it all to sink in.then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms.“You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

Husbands help with the children now.They stay more in the home and have more interest in the home.We shall give some examples of what husbands do in consequence, firstly, in sharing work with their wives, and secondly, in their largely independent domain (领域，范围) of house repairing.

The ability to ask deep questions and look for answers lies at the heart of science.So it stands to reason that educators would want to bottle Newton’s brand of thinking and serve it to their students.
Common sense might argue that the best means to that end is to cram future scientists with chemistry,physics,biology,and mathematics.After all,Newton had an enormous appetite for science.
But Newton owned more books in the humanities than he did in the sciences,and his interest included subjects such an history,philosophy,and Greek mythology.
Could it be that thinking deeply about subjects such as history,philosophy,and religion makes one a better scientist？many top American schools think so.
The liberal arts is diversified toolbox.If you have only one way of looking at things,you will get stuck in the same place everybody else got stuck.If you’ve got different experiences,you may find other ways of solving the problem.”
It’s well known that the more we think,the better our neural connections.But liberal arts colleges go one step further.They argue that learning to think in one field may sharpen the ability to solve complex problems in a seemingly unrelated area.It may be a while before scientists establish the truth or falsity of this idea.In the meantime,some of the best minds in science are betting that it’s true.
“Learning about the great books and the humanities can stimulate the sort of brain waves that serve a scientist pretty well,” says Nobel prize winner Tom Cech—“The more types of thinking you have to do,the more skills you can bring to a scientific problem."
26.We learn from the first paragraph that ________.
A.the ability to think is of first importance to scientific discovery
B.nobody noticed apples falling from trees to the ground before Newton
C.Newton developed the theory of gravity by watching a falling apple
27.According to the passage, to help students become scientists, educators________.
A.should cram them with lots of science courses
B.should make them think in the way Newton did
C.should ask them deep questions and look for answers
D.should give them an enormous appetite for science
28.We learn from the passage that students who study science in a liberal arts college ________.
A.are required to take a number of courses in the humanities
B.are free to take whatever courses they like best
C.have a wide range of interests in history, philosophy and religion
D.spend more time studying arts and the humanities than the sciences
29.The idea that learning to think in one field may sharpen the ability to solve complex problems in a seemingly unrelated area is ________.
A.already proved to be true by scientists
B.accepted by the best people in science
C.a common belief among liberal arts colleges
D.gaining worldwide acceptance
30.In liberal arts colleges students are _______.
A.asked to bring a diversified toolbox to school
B.trained to think differently from everybody else

Losing your ability to think and remember is prettyscary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn't worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia andage-related memory loss. After age 50, it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places andthings quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brainthat are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affectcommunication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced asblood vessels narrow. Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. Butif you forget the plot of the movie or don't remember even seeing it, that's far moreconcerning, Daffner says. When you forget entire experiences, he says, that's "a red flag that something more seriousmay be involved." Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, orforgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you've visited many times before can also besigns of something going wrong. But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn't panic. There are many things that can causeconfusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathingduring sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) likeantidepressants. You don't have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to checkon medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the bestdefense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain's cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says. "Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novelways," he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physicallyactive, because exercise is a known brain booster.Why does the author say that one needn't be concerned about memory slips？ 1..Why does the author say that one needn't be concerned about memory slips？()
A、Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.
B、They occur only among certain groups of people.
C、Not all of them are related to one's age.
D、They are quite common among fifty-year-olds.
