If you are learning English because you"re going to travelin England and wish to be 1 there,don"t try
to speak English perfectly, 2 if you do so,no one will understand you. In London ninety-nine in every
hundred people speak 3 English. You may say that 4 they don"t speak English well themselves,
they can 5 understand it when it is well spoken. They 6 when the speaker is English. But when the
speaker is a 7 , the better he speaks, the 8 it is to understand him.
No foreigner can 9 stress the syllables and make the tone 10 and fallin the question and 11
exactly as a 12 does. 13 the first thing you have to do is to speak with a strong 14 accent, and
speak broken English,that is,English without any 15 . Then every English person you 16 will at once
know you are a foreigner, and try to understand you and be ready to 17 you. He will not 18 you to
be polite and use grammatical phrases. He will be 19 by his cleverness in making out your 20 and
being able to tell what you want to know. |

He doesn"t accept ideas which are not 2 on obvious facts,and therefore refuses to accept authority as
the only 3 for truth.He always 4 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.
The rise of 5 science may be considered to 6 as far back as the 7 of Roger Bacon,the wonderful philosopher of Oxford,who live 8 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the
Middle 9 to suggest that we must leam science 10 observing and experimenting on the things
around us,and he himself 11 many important discoveries.
Galileo,however,who lived more than 300 years later (1564～1642) ,was the greatest of several great
men, 12 in Italy,France,Germany,or England,began by 13 to show how many important 14 could
be discovered by observation. Before Galileo,learned men believed that large bodies fell more 15
towards the earth than small ones, 16 Aristotle said so. But Calileo,going to the 17 of the
Leaning Tower of Pisa,let fall two 18 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo"s 19 of

Wearing earphones,using complicated Net language and constantly text messaging friends,the
Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut.
Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge for yourselves
if you fit the Gen-90s profile.
Earphones
These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Cen-90s. They might lead to MP3,MP4 or
MP101 players,giving these young people a plugged-in,cool and perhaps self-indulgent look. Of course,
life is not always music to the ears.
Martian Language
They have created their own code-like online language. It"s a mixture of English,Japanese and Chinese
that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation,though they need to be
careful to keep it out of their term papers.
Self-portrait
Saying " cheese" to their own digital cameras is routine for this generation. A little bit of
narcissismc (自恋) never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives. But be aware of
the risks of posting private photos online.
Text-messaging
They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that respects
efficiency. Nevertheless,oral communication is important and will never go out of style. | | 1. Who are the intended readers of the passage? | A. Teens.

part of life

not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake,tossing and tuming in bed until the early hours of the moming when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up.you don"t feel refreshed.but tired and wom out and
unable to face a new day.
Dr Henry Winkle,in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep,indicates that______． Dr
Winkle says,"The more we worry,the less we sleep,the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can
find a way to get a good night"s sleep," he adds. "we can often find the energy to deal with what"s worrying us. "
So,what is a good night"s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order
to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount,though strangely enough,sleeping
longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
Dr Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give
themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or
listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as
mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help,but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine
and will keep you awake. " When you put the light out," Dr Winkle says,"concentrate on relaxing your
muscles,working slowly up from your feet,and you"ll be asleep before you know it. "

_____________________________________________________________________ | | 阅读理解。 | Have you ever wished you could not feel pain? There are people in the world with this ability. They
do not know when they are hurting. Last year,Nature magazine published a report about six children who
have never suffered pain.The research team found the children after hearing about a boy who apparently
felt no pain. The boy stood on burning coals and stabbed his arms with knives to earn money. He died in
a fall before the researchers could meet him. But the team was able to find members of the boy"s extended family. They also seemed unable to feel pain.
This may lead to bad results. These children sometimes burned themselves with hot liquids or steam.
They sat on hot hearting devices. They cut their lips with their teeth,but felt no pain. Two of the children
bit off one-third of their
tongue. Yet they could feel pressure and tell differences between hot and cold.
Why were they unable to feel pain? Doctor Woods and his research team studied
DNA-deoxyribonucleic acid from the children. They also examined DNA from the children"s parents. The team found that all had health. The researchers found that each child received a faulty version of the gene
from a parent. The gene is called SCN9A. It gives orders to a protein that serves as a passageway for
the chemical sodium(钠). All nerve cells have such passages. This is how spinal cord and brain work.
Researchers discovered something important about SCN9A. They linked it to a rare condition in
which patients suffer painful burning in their feet or hands. The problems of these patients were nearly
opposite to those of the children who felt no pain. "In patients with the painful burning hands and feet,
SCN9A was too active. The findings may mean better medical help for pain," Doctor Woods says. | | 1. According to Doctor Woods,what do we know about the SCN9A in persons with no pain? | A. There is no SCN9A.
B. There is little SCN9A.
C. SCN9A was not active.
D. SCN9A was active | | 2. What is the purpose of Doctor Woods and his research team studying DNA from the children? | A. To find out why children don"t feel pain.
B. To prove their supposition.
C. To obtain some faulty gene.
D. To locate the nerve cells. | | 3. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? | A. Some bad results of the patients.
B. The cause of the disease.
C. The cure of the disease.
D. The differences between hot and cold. | | 完形填空。 | As science develops rapidly in the direction of technology,it supplies man a better and more comfortable 1 . Men will be 2 shorter and shorter hours, 3 housewives will also be able to have 4 time.
