D. Smith Obeyed God"s Order | | 完形填空 | Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewis burg, a 1 of about eighty miles. It was late and I
was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fa st I was 2 , I"d say I was
not overspeeding. Several times I got 3 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I wa s
holding my fists tightly with 4 .
At one point along an open highway, I 5 a crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road
by now, but as I 6 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me.
Nothing. No cars, no s uggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to 7 , the only human being for at least a mile in any 8 .
I started 9 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being 10 , because there was

we trust each other to 15 it: we don"t go through red lights. Like most of us, I am more likely to be
16 from doing something bad by the social convention(传统习惯) that 17 it than by any law against
it.
It"s amazing that we ever 18 each other to do the right thing, isn"t it? And we do, too. Trust is our

D. proud | | 阅读理解 | Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was
drawing to a close.
When his heart  problems led to an operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery
was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to
operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on
the day before his 48th birthday.
Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned,
the stranger he realized Jim"s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart
attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework,
promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned
his father had died. Jim"s father was 48.
"I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father," Dr. Smoller says. "He felt that if he had not
asked him to look at his homework, his father would not have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea.
The operation was the trial he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not
to live to the age of 48.
Jim"s case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood
experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less
direct than Jim"s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife
diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.
1. Jim was rushed back to operation because .
A. his heart didn"t work well
B. he expected a full recovery

2. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim"s case?
A. Jim died at a young age.
B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim"s death is closely connected with his father"s.
3. From Smoller"s words, we can infer that .
A. Jim"s father cared little about his study
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn"t live to the age of 48
4. Which of the following could have strong effect on one"s physical health according to the text?
a．One"s genes. b．One"s life in childhood. c．One"s physical education.
d．The date of one"s birthday. e．The opinions one has about something. | | 完形填空 | It was a cold winter"s night when I stopped for gas on my way home from work. I was tired and had
