conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward
are often never mentioned at all.
We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the
length of the year; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of
them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure
of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries
are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as
conquerors.
It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages;
hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage(野人) is good,
but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them
how to do it most efficiently-this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done-is not being
civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able
to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater
number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only
has it won, but because it has won, it had been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it
means saying that might(权利) is right.
B. are greater than any other people
C. are not as great as described in history books
D. do not really help civilization forward
on the highest pillars in the great cities of the world mainly because ________.
B. they fought bravely to protect their cities
C. people think they fought too brutally(野蛮地)
D. they conquered many cities and countries
B. Critical.
C. Ironic.
D. Respectful.
B. should not fight when there are no quarrels to settle
C. should settle their quarrels without fighting
D. should settle their quarrels by killing the other side

six student volunteers with virus, the most common cause of colds. A few days later, when they were
coughing and sneezing, he gathered 37 more people and divided them into three groups. Group 1
members spent three days and nights in the same room with one of the infected students, separated
by a screen so they couldn"t touch one another. Group 2 sat around a table while an infected volunteer
talked, coughed and sang to them. Group 3 held hands with an infected student for ten seconds, and
then touched their own noses or eyes.
Although most scientists at the time, the mid-70s, believed colds were spread by virus-laden
droplets spread through the air when infected people coughed or sneezed, Gwaltney suspected
physical contact might play an important role. Sure enough, of the 15 people who had touched a
student volunteer, 11 became infected-compared with only one of those who had been sitting at the
table, and none who had spent three days and nights together.
"The best evidence we have is that hand-to-hand contact is the most efficient way of transmitting
virus," says Gwaltney. The study was one of a series that helped establish Gwaltney"s reputation as
a leading authority. Dr. Robert Couch says, "It would not be inappropriate to call him Mr. Common
Cold."
When Gwaltney is asked how close scientists are to finding a cure, he replies: "If you mean "get
rid of", I don"t think we"re going to be able to do that with cold viruses any time soon. But if you
look in the dictionary, you"ll see that "cure" is explained as a successful treatment. And we"re not just
getting more effective at treating the symptoms (症状)-we"re getting at the root cause too. "
B. infect the student volunteer
C. find out the role physical contact plays in the common colds
D. find out the role virus-laden air plays in the infection of colds
B. touching the infected person
C. sitting together with the infected person
D. talking with the infected person
B. Only one of the people who had spent three days and nights together became infected.
C. Dr. Gwaltney conducted many an experiment as to the cause of colds.
D. Dr. Gwaltney tested altogether 43 volunteers to see how they could develop colds.
B. a nickname (绰号) of respect to Dr. Gwaltney
C. a method to cure colds
D. a way by which the other scientists laughed at Dr. Gwaltney
B. they have managed to wipe out the cold viruses
C. they have meant to experiment more
D. they have made much progress in dealing with colds
Every country has many good people who help to take care of others. Some high school and college
students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in a hospital, orphanage (孤儿院) or
home for the aged.
They read books to the people who must be in these places or they just visit them and play games or
listen to their problems. Other young people volunteer to collect food or money, or they work in the
homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow
their lawns. There is a group of volunteers to meet almost every need. For boys who no longer have
fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to
baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to know about things that boys usually learn from their
fathers. Every city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go play games or to learn crafts.
Some of these clubs have movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or
other places of interest. Most of these clubs use many high school and college students as volunteers
because they still remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the
happiest people in the world are those ________________________.

and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during the low time that words of
encouragement from family, friends, coworkers or even strangers can boost your spirits. It is also during
the low time that destructive words can be devastating (毁灭性的) and make you sink deeper and deeper into depression.
For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when
two of them fell into a deep pit (深坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them
to stop. Finally, one of the two frogs took notice of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at
him to tell him to give up. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were
encouraging him the whole time.
Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do
choose the chance to say something positive! Don"t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to
someone else.
B. Because he could hardly hear what the other frogs said.
C. Because he didn"t want to give up his hope.
D. Because he had a positive attitude toward life
B. persistence is bound to victory
C. miracles sometimes happen by accident
D. success must belong to us if we keep on working
B. Life depends on encouragement.
C. Destructive words will lead to death.
D. Words are playing an important role around us.
B. positive words
C. negative words
D. the opportunities to say something.
B. The frog that died finally ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit at first.
C. The two unfortunate frogs would never get out because they are both deaf.
D. The author advised us to choose the chance to say something positive
of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body
image.
Body image is a person"s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.
1 You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
2 Here are some ideas.
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body
do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport.
That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have
nonsports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 3
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look well and feel good about yourself. Good physiques
(体形) don"t just happen. __4 _ A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour
three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits-regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and
skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on-can help you build a positive body image.
__5 _ Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy a quick wit (智慧), and
all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you"re good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that selfimage and body image can be changed.
G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?
many people said yes to it. Today much of that is changing. The first computer system was introduced
for use in business in the mid-1950s. Since then, the number of computer systems used in business,
government offices, and institutions has grown rapidly. In 1975, about 250,000 systems were in use
in the United States. This figure is growing by tens of thousands every year.
The computer is an important factor in our lives. Each year we use computer more and more to
help us to collect data and to provide us with information. At one time people thought computers were
only useful to banks, department stores and governments. But today the rapidly increasing numbers of
computers are used for many other purposes. Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected
(影响) by a computer? The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a computer. The
newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a computer. Even radio programmes are
often prepared by computers.
Computers today are playing important roles in education, transportation and medicine. They are
used to predict the weather, to examine the ocean, and to develop defense systems. They are being
used by businesses, governments and institutions. There is no doubt that their uses will become a greater
part of our lives.
The influence (影响) of the computer is great. The list of its uses could go on and on. Computers
now affect millions of people in countless ways every day.
B. no use at all
C. not understood by many people
D. liked by people
B. have known it clearly
C. don"t want to know about it
D. don"t like it
B. likes computers
C. thinks computers have developed rapidly
D. thinks we can"t live without computers
