阅读理解。     Excused from recycling (回收利用) because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute (垃圾道)? You
won"t be for long. Miami"s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute
and recycle too. 　　
     In Shantzis" Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn
around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use,
enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes. 　　
     The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of
recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other
floors" chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The
computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of
equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables 　　
     Sorting (分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery
equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very
expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help
recycled materials become more cost-effective. 1. The purpose in writing this text is _______. 　A. to encourage people to recycle their rubbish 　　
B. to introduce a recycling system for high rises 　　
C. to describe the use of computer technology in recycling 　　
D. to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises 2. When he says "You won"t be for long" the writer means that _______. 　　A. you"ll soon be living in a cleaner building 　　
B. rubbish chutes will become out of date before long 　　
C. you won"t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish 　　
D. it won"t be long before you"ll have to recycle your rubbish 3. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ______. 　　A. lock the other floors" chute doors 　　
B. check if the container is full 　　
C. press the correct button 　　
D. break up the rubbish 4. The biggest advantage of this new system is that ______. 　　A. it readuces the cost of recycling

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.

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.
