题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
Marley is a businessman. His business is freezing people. He works for a company in California called Trans Time. Trans Time freezes people after they die. Why does Trans Time freeze people? Doctors today can cure many diseases, but they cannot cure all diseases. People still get sick and die. Maybe in the future doctors will have medicine for all diseases. Some people think so. They want Trans Time to freeze their bodies after they die. Maybe 100 or 200, or 300 years later, Trans Time doctors will bring the people back to life. The doctors will cure their diseases, and the people will be alive and healthy again.
People often ask the scientists at the Trans Time, “How will Trans Time bring dead people back to life?” They say, “We can freeze a healthy animal and bring it back to life. We think that someday it will be possible with human.” When they say “someday”, they mean years from now — maybe 100 or 200 years. How can Trans Time keep people frozen for 200 years?
After a person dies, workers at Trans Time cool the body with ice and chemicals. When the body is very cold, workers put the body into a capsule (密封舱). They fill the capsule with liquid nitrogen (液氮). The temperature in it is 196 degrees centigrade below zero. Every two weeks workers add more liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen keeps the bodies frozen.
Trans Time charges $21,000 to freeze a body and $59,000 to keep a body frozen. That’s $80,000 all together. It is a lot of money. But some people think that $80,000 is a fair price. It’s a fair price for a chance to live again, isn’t it?
小题1:What kind of people does Trans Time serve? (No more than 2 words)
                                                                               
小题2:How much should one pay together, if he wants his body to be cooled and kept by Trans Time?

小题4:What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (No more than 6 words)

It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of    31  . Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged   32 , said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the   33  of a friend. Then count the occasions   34  you indicated clearly and truly that you were   35 . A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep   36  in us knows that when even a small wrong has been   37 , some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and     38  is expressed.
I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of   39 : headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No   40  cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “  41  you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.” After some   42 , the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been   43  his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance (继承权). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother   44  forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good   45 . He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man   46  crying. “Thank you,” He said, “I think I’m   47 .” And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it   48 . If you can think of someone who   49  an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it   50 .
