Throw the bottles and boxes of drugs out of your house. A new theory suggests that medicine
could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot
afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can
be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.
Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and
scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These
waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that
can kill our pain, xrays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors ( 肿瘤) .
We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However,
there are some "everyday complaints" such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated
currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep,
you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long
period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of
money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical
way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very
economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In
quantum ( 量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance ( 物质) which the
universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective
way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.
Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS
and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest
of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is
very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy ( 化疗), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common
knowledge that except when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS
or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead
of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the
hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday
worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late.
6.like 7.expensive 8.serious 9.scientific 10.balance
The most exciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing can exceed the joy of
discovering for yourself something that is important to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information
you come across accidentally or a sudden understanding, fitting together pieces of information or
working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the "payoff" in education. A teacher may
direct you to learning and even encourage you in it-but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy
happen. That"s up to you.
A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor,
leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of
discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and
individual process, and an ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make
exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, which are basic to education. The research paper also
gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests
and abilities and to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is more than a classroom
exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of
many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovery,
an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying
experience!
To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever
produced before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is
threatening. But there is no need to approach paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view
the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within
reach if you use the help this passage can give you.

lead more independent lives ,but can they also help change disruptive ( 爱捣乱的) teenagers" behaviour
A unique TV experiment ,“Dog House”, follows five unruly youngsters as they are taught to become dog trainers. The idea is simple. Kids really like dogs. But can the skills involved in training them-patience , consistency , rewarding good behaviour-give these teenagers the discipline they need in their own lives
The teens involved were put forward by local schools in West Sussex , who had run out of ideas of
how to deal with them.
Liam was typical-14 years old ,badtempered , aggressive , foulmouthed and about to be permanently
excluded from school. Allie ,Rob and Ellie ,had similar problems-they couldn"t concentrate , they didn"t
like being told what to do and they had serious anger problems. Katrina was different. She was so shy
that she had developed agoraphobia ( 陌生环境恐惧症) , and she suffered from depression and had
taken herself out of mainstream education.
Gradually ,working with the dogs began to have an impact on the kids. But in order to fully appreciate the significance of what they were doing ,they needed to meet the disabled people who benefited from
having these dogs. The meetings had a profound impact on the teenagers. After meeting Eileen Hobson
and her dog Sailor , Liam changed his ways and his unlikely friendship with severely disabled wheelchair
user Eileen blossomed.
Two months into the course Liam began to connect with the dogs too-particularly a young yellow
Labrador called Aero. The relationship flourished so much that the dog often knew instinctively what the
teenager wanted him to do before he"d even asked. “He just knows , ”said Liam.
Liam"s school noticed a huge change in his whole outlook. His teacher Nick Brown said :“More than
anything I see a confident and happy young man. It"s been superb.”
B.they came from the same local school
C.they ran out of ideas of how to behave in school
D.their teachers had some difficulty in dealing with them
B.She had serious anger problems.
C.She was badtempered and aggressive.
D.She had trouble in getting along with others because of her shyness.
B.His meeting Eileen Hobson and her dog.
C.His teacher Nick Brown"s praise.
D.A unique TV programme.
B.decorated
C.expanded
D.declined
environment and our experience? Strangely enough,the answer to these questions is yes. To some
extent Our intelligence is given to US at birth,and no amount of education can make a genius (天才)
out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand,a child who lives in a boring environment
will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding (环境). Thus the limits
of person" s intelligence are fixed at birth,whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his
environment. This view, now held by most experts,can be supposed in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the
blood relationship between two people,the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two
unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely
different. If, on the other hand,we take two identical twins,they will very likely to be as intelligent as
each other. Relations like brothers and sisters,parents and children, usually have similar intelligence,and
this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical (完全相同的)twins and put them in different environments.
We might send one,for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the working is boring.
We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this shows that environment as well as
birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact
with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
B. not reach his intelligence in his life
C. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
D. still become a genius if he should be given special education
B. take out two different persons
C. choose two persons who are relative
D. choose two persons with different inteili2ence
B. the importance of their positions
C. the importance of their intelligence
D. the role of environment on intelligence
C. Dependence on Environment
B. Intelligence
D. Effect of Education
towers and street features that appear in the photo. The hyperlinks lead to information about the history,
services and context of all the features in the photo. You have just hyperlinked your reality.
That might be a little unbelievable, but the technology exists and is no fevered imagination. This is
not a cool small machine invented for the next James Bond movie; this is a working technology just
developed by European researchers. It could be coming to a phone near you, and soon.
This, as the marketing types say, is a game changer. It develops a completely new interface (界面)
that combines webtechnology with the real world. It is big and fresh, but it goes much further and has
much greater influence.
The development of the system is most outstanding because image recognition technology has long
been pregnant with promise, but seems to suffer from an unending labour.
Now MOBVIS has not only developed image recognition,it has also developed more applications
for the technology; and it has adapted it to the world"s most popular technology: the mobile phone.
The MOBVIS system completely rewrites the rules for exploration and interaction with your
physical environment. The system begins with panoramas (一连串景象). These panoramas form the
basis of a city database. It can match buildings, towers, banners and even logos that appear in the
panoramas.
A user simply takes a picture of the street feature, MOBVIS compares the user"s photograph to the
panoramas and then identifies the buildings from the picture you take and the relevant links are returned.
Then you simply click on the links, using a touchscreen phone, and the MOBVIS system will provide
information on the history, art, architecture or even the menu, if it is a restaurant,of the building in
question.
B. A popular mobile phone.
C. A cool small machine.
D. An image recognition system.
B. It is a little unbelievable and just a fevered imagination.
C. It has taken an unending labour to bring the technology into our lives.
D. It will encourage the users to take more pictures of the street features.
a. A city database forms in the system.
b. MOBVIS recognizes the picture and links are returned.
c. A user touches the links on the phone screen.
d. A user takes a picture of the street feature.
e. MOBVIS provides information in question.
B. a, d, b, c, e
C. d, c, e, a, b
D. c, a, e, b, d
B. the writer is trying to promote the sales of the MOBVIS system
C. this new technology will soon be very popular in our lives
D. the sales of mobile phones will decrease as MOBVIS comes on market
you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However,
they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other bird
s to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a "territory" is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as
its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome.
Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger
should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten
him away.
If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same
thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting season. So he is screaming all
the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird"s song, and it is
usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter
the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language all their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and
setting up territories.
B. a way of warning
C. an expression of anger
D. a way of greeting
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
C. An area for which birds fight against each other.
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.
B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.
C. Because they want to find outsiders around.
D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.
B. By reporting experiment results.
C. By describing birds" daily life.
D. By telling a bird"s story.
