• 2．Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their search for the truth．
     Sir Isaac Newton，the seventeenth century scientist，was very smart，but that didn't stop him from doing some pretty stupid things．In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments．Once，while testing how light passes through lenses （晶状体），he put a long needle into his eye，pushed it to the back，and then moved it around just to see what would happen．Luckily，nothing long-lasting did．On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear，to discover what effect this would have on his sight．Again he escaped suffering permanent damage，though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered．
     In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus （磷）．He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine （氯），though he didn't get any praise for them．He was a very clever scientist，but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with．This risky practice finally caught up with him，and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals，any of which might have been responsible for his death．
     Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist．He spent a large part of his life studying craters （火山口） on the moon，and how they were formed，and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter．In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth．While driving in the Tanami desert，normally one of the emptiest places in the world，another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot．Some of his ashes （骨灰） were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there - he is the only person who has had this honor．
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "permanent" in Paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．Brief．
  B．Slight．
  C．Lasting．
  D．Ordinary．
  （2）What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments？

  
  A．Tasting chemicals．
  B．Staying in the empty lab．
  C．Experimenting in darkness．
  D．Working together with others．
  （3）What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death？

  
  A．He was buried in the Tanami desert．
  B．Some of his ashes were placed on the moon．
  C．One comet of Jupiter was named after him．
  D．A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter．
  （4）The text is mainly about three great scientists'

  ．
  A．special honors
  B．great achievements
  C．famous experiments
  D．suffering in the job

• 3．Here is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone can't make us tired.It sounds absurd.But a few years ago，scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue（疲劳）.To the amazement of these scientists，they discovered that blood passing through the brain，when it is active，shows no fatigue at all!If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer，we would find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素）and fatigue products.But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein，it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
     So far as the brain is concerned，it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning.The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired？
     Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional（情感的）attitudes.One of England's most outstanding scientists，J.A.Hadfield，says， "The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origjye.ai.In fact，fatigue of purely physical origin is rare. "Dr.Brill，a famous American scientist，goes even furtjye.air.He declares， "One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems."
     What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired？Joy？Satisfaction？No!A feeling of being bored，anger，anxiety，tenseness，worry，a feeling of not being appreciated-those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
  
  （1）What surprised the scientists a few years ago？

  
  A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood.
  B．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.
  C．Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work
  D．A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
  （2）According to the author，which of the following can make sitting workers tired？

  
  A．Challenging mental work.
  B．Unpleasant emotions.
  C．Endless tasks.
  D．Physical labor.
  （3）What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' ideas？

  
  A．He doubts them.
  B．He agrees with them.
  C．He argues against them.
  D．He hesitates to accept them.
  （4）We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic，sitting workers need to

  .
  A．have some good food
  B．enjoy their work
  C．exercise regularly
  D．discover fatigue toxins

• 4．Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight，while the French，who consume rich food，continue to stay thin？Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight．Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full．However，Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over．
     According to Dr．Joseph Mercola，a health expert，the French see eating as an important part of their life style．They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table，while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities．Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full．So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped．In addition，he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week．The French，instead，tend to shop daily，walking to small shops and farmers 'markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits，vegetables，and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal．
     After a visit to the United States，Mireille Guiliano，author of French Women Don't Get Fat，decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food．Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym．
     In spite of all these differences，evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits．Today the rate of obesity-or extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%．However，as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions，the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing．
  
  （1）In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr．Joseph Mercola？

  
  A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently．
  B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities．
  C．They regard eating as a key part of their life style．
  D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food．
  （2）This text is mainly the relationship between

  ．
  A．Americans and the French
  B．life style and obesity
  C．children and adults
  D．fast food and overweight
  （3）The text is mainly developed

  ．
  A．by contrast
  B．by space
  C．by process
  D．by classification
  （4）Where does this text probably come from？

  
  A．A TV interview
  B．A food advertisement
  C．A health report
  D．A book review

• 5．Food pictures that you display on WeChat can look more stylish（新潮的） if you follow our tips. （1）

  .
     ※ Styling accompanied by a story

  Some might want to tell about the person who is eating the dish.Whether it's your first meal at a Chinese restaurant or a birthday party at a cozy cafeteria，describe the surroundings and background as well as the reason that made you choose the food in the picture.

     Flash is not as flattering as natural light.The latter makes pictures look much better.The only problem is that you can hardly find natural light in bars，cafes and restaurants. （3）

     Choose the right angle.One of the best positions is shooting from the top down.This is how you'll show the whole table.You might sometimes need to climb on a chair to take that perfect shot! （4）

  You may try and hold your dish out in front of you.Do not hesitate to ask a random person to stand behind you and take the shot for you.Vertical pictures are also worth your attention.
