     This summer, join the International Conservation Scouts on a fun-filled holiday with a difference. Year after
year, young people from all around the world get together at one of our sixteen conservation (环境保护) camp. Their shared aim? To help protect the countryside and its wildlife.
      Many animals and plants are in danger of disappearing forever. The dormouse, a kind of mouse, for
example, needs woodland plants for food and trees to stay in. Its habitat (栖息地) is being destroyed by man
and it needs our help to survive.
     On a conservation camp holiday you will learn all about nature and how to protect it. Our trained leaders
will accompany you and tell you everything you need to know. Because of this you don" t need any experience,
just energy and enthusiasm. You will explore the countryside and work to ensure the survival of hundreds of
animals and plants and still have plenty of time to enjoy the camp"s excellent sports facilities and organized
nature paths through beautiful scenery.
     The International Conservation Scouts is a worldwide organization, so there must be a camp near you, You
can spend a splendid holiday at any of the camps for as little as f 60 including accommodation and food.

     It"s happened to all of us: we sleeplessly toss (翻转) and turn while the person next door snores (打呼噜)
his way through the night.
     "Millions of people snore, most of whom are men over the age of 20," said Robert Bone, chief of Head and
Neck Surgery at Scripps Clinic in San Diego."As many as 45 percent of people snore, and as many as 25
percent are chronic (慢性的) snorers. Male snorers far outnumber women who snore."
     To help chronic snorers get a good night"s sleep, Dr. Bone treats his patients with Somnoplasty, a
now-proven procedure that he created at Scripps Clinic six years ago. "If you snore loudly and frequently and
do not have other breathing disorders, Somnoplasty may be the solution for you," he said.
     Somnoplasty uses low-temperature radio waves to treat a well-defined area in the soft palate (鄂). A small
prong is inserted into the mouth toward the back of the throat. Then radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath
the surface of the soft palate. The treated part is heated just enough to create an area of coagulation(凝结物).
Over the next four to six weeks, the body naturally tears off the treated part, reducing volume and solidifying
the area that is responsible for snoring.
     The procedure takes place in the doctor"s office, and typically lasts no longer than 15 to 20 minutes.
Patients need two to four treatments, and the procedure is 80 percent effective. Treatment costs only $200 to
$300 and is covered by some insurance. Dr. Bone treats about 800 patients a year.
     "Somnoplasty is the state-of-the-art procedure for snoring," Dr. Bone said. "It can provide much-needed
relief to chronic snorers and their families."
     For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (858) 554-8964.
1. Which of the following is true about the snorers according to Robert Bone?
 A. 45% of the snorers are men who are over the age of 20.
B. Most people in the word are chronic snorers.
C. People who toss and turn sleeplessly will never snore.
D. There are far more male snorers than female snorers.

      We"ve all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can
develop rock-hard abdominal muscles (腹肌). It"s easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75
for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of millions of
dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist. And did they work? Not necessarily.
Independent studies have concluded that most of these products-no matter who approved them or how
expensive they are-shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches (仰卧起坐). Some
can even cause injury- like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers
at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than
a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise.
     The fact is that many Americans don"t have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal
muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can"t lose enough fat to make a
difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of an inch
of fat. That"s enough to exclude most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.
     So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular
Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as
"Body Boogies" and "Good Mornings" will "help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets."
Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the
electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues
then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles
were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.
     Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises
for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that
the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the
winners: the bicycle movements-so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the
floor-and exercises performed on the "Captain"s Chair", a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the
body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine
of the different exercises could deliver the best results.
1. Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?
A. Torso Track.
B. Ab-Doer.
C. Captain"s Chair.
D. Body Shaper-Q8SP.
2. According to the author, it"s difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles
   mainly because _____.
A. they do not put in enough efforts
B. injuries interrupt their exercise frequently
C. they change their exercise routine regularly
D. how big their muscles will be is determined by birth
3. The author convinces the readers by _____.
A. describing successful cases
B. offering professional suggestions
C. presenting findings of researches
D. comparing advertisements of products
4. What"s the main purpose of this passage?

A. To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.
B. To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.
C. To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.
D. To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.

     Psychology (心理学) has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, together with their
patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals, modern
therapy (疗法) seems to focus on the physical disease. Patients may feel they are treated like broken
machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy, in
which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does
not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.
     The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient"s body physically. The body of the patient changes
because of the disease. He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease.
Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patient"s
physical problems, but the patient"s mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one
doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes. She typically
feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family,
friends, doctors, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctor"s treatment
must help the patient change that. Simonton"s method emphasizes treatment of the"whole" patient.
     The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive.
The physician who is following Simonton"s psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that
he or she can see the tumor (肿瘤) in the body. In the mental picture, the patient"sees" a powerful beam of
radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing
them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the
stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army
fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells.
Both the medical therapy and the patient"s positive attitude fight the disease.
     Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of psychology does help some
patients because their attitudes about themselves change. They become more confident because they use the
power within their own minds to help stop the disease. Another application of using the mind to help cure
disease is the use of suggestion therapy. At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply. The
patient thinks only about one thing. He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or
 rather in a trance (催眠状态). Then the physician makes"a suggestion" to the patient about the medical
problem. The patient"s mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In
this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment. Doctors have learned that this use
of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help
adults deal with the strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her
illness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to
stop being anxious. Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic(慢性的) diseases. Asthma (哮喘) is
an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficulty in breathing.
The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can
help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily.
     Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating children. Children respond
quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with
121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had Excellent
results. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were
also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as
strong. Most of the children also felt better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change
habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.
     Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has
important applications in medicine.

A. How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children.
B. How modern therapy focuses on the disease.
C. Responses from the medical world.
D. How to use the mind against disease.

B. The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient"s problems.
C. The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work together to fight disease.
D. The patient uses his mind to cure himself.

A. The medical treatment can cure the patient"s mental disease.
B. The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary.

     Scientists warn today that the Atlantic bluefin tuna (金枪鱼) faces disappearance unless certain action
is taken. They used electronic ways to track the movement of the powerful fish from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Mediterranean, and report today in the journal Nature that meals of sushi and sandwiches with tuna
worldwide are more dangerous than anyone has imagined.
     The bluefin tuna can live for 30 years, grow to three metres in length and weigh as much as 700kg. A
good one can fetch as much as £ 52,000 in the Tokyo fish markets."In my lifetime, we"ve brought this
big fish to the doorstep of death in the western Atlantic Ocean," said Barbara Block of Stanford University
in California."The electronic way of tracks provides the best scientific information we"ve ever had to
manage these tuna and we must, as an international community, start to act actively to make sure of the
future of this fish."
      Scientists have repeatedly said that the harvest of the seas cannot be as good as before. There are fewer
and fewer fish in around Newfoundland, North Sea and Iceland, so fishermen have pushed further offshore
in search of deep ocean fish. Tuna-in the Mediterranean and Japan-have been under increasing pressure for
years. The International Commission on the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna has tried to manage the fish since
1969.There are two populations: a western one that has dropped by 80% in the past 30 years, and a larger,
eastern population. Although catches are controlled by 3,000 tons a year in the western fishery, and 32,000
in the east, no one knew whether the limits worked.
     So Professor Block and her team placed tracks on hundreds of the fish and tracked them to depths of
more than 900 metres and on journeys of thousands of miles, measuring the movement, body and water
temperatures. "There are two ways to save the Atlantic bluefin tuna-protect them in their production grounds
and in their feeding grounds," Prof. Block said. "This will need immediate action in both the central Atlantic,
to reduce the loss of the big fish while hunting, and in the Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean, where tuna
produce as separate populations."
1. The bluefin tuna in this passage mainly refers to the one _____.
A. in the Atlantic
B. in the Pacific
C. in the Gulf of Mexico
D. in the Mediterranean
2. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A. The bluefin tuna is a kind of large and heavy fish.
B. The number of the bluefin tuna in the sea is getting smaller and smaller.
C. Scientists are worried about the future of the tuna.
D. Scientists think that the harvest of the seas will remain good.
3. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. tell people a new way has been found to save the bluefin tuna
B. call for action to save the bluefin tuna
C. warn people not to eat tuna sandwiches anymore
D. help scientists to find a new way to save the bluefin tuna
