　　 Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
　　 One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
　　 As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean,” “Why?” “The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.” “But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference”.
　　 The young man listened politely, then he bent down, picked another starfish and throw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”

　　 That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
　　 As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
　　 About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
　　 Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
　　 Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? the door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
　　 It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

　　 No matter where you are, knowing how to protect yourself and your family during an earthquake is necessary. Here are some tips for you.
　　 Duck, Drop, Cover and Hold.
　　 Duck under a strong piece of furniture (家具) , if at all possible. Most earthquake injuries are the result of being hit by something falling on you. Drop to the floor to avoid falling or being thrown down. And protect you from flying glass and debris (碎片). Use cloths, blankets, cushions, or furniture. Hold on to whatever you’re using for cover, as the ground motion may be violent. Get away from glass, book cases or anything heavy that could fall over on you.
　　 Stay away from the doors
　　 Doorways used to be recommended but most exports now say stay away from them. Doors can suddenly shut with bone crushing force. Anyway, the experts say that in modern construction a door way is no stronger than any other location along the wall.
　　 Try to run outside
　　 While the ground is moving and immediately afterward, the greatest danger is of being injured by taking a fall or by being hit by a falling piece of building as you exit. If you smell gas or when the shaking stops, calmly, carefully make your way out and get clear of the building. Before you leave get shoes on, you will be walking on broken glass. If you’re in a crowd, stay calm, and take what cover you can find where you are. In a crowd the greatest dangers are panic and the rushfor an exit.
　　59. When the earthquake happens you’dbetter______.
　　 A. protect yourself with a blanket
　　 B. stay near the windows for fresh air
　　 C. stand still on the floor to keep balance
　　 D. seize the bookcases firmly
　　60. According to the experts______.
　　 A. doors are safe places to cover yourself
　　 B. it is safe for you to run away through the door
　　 C. it is dangerous to stay close the doors
　　 D. the doors are strong enough to protect you
　　61. During the earthquake the most dangerous thing is that______.
　　 A. you for get to put your shoes on
　　 B. you are injured by something falling
　　 C. you are nervous and run for the exit

　　 Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their live trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences.
　　 Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.
　　 In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
　　 The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war.
　　 They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman a professor of psychiatry(精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
　　 But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特性). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“ All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out, ” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist(伦理学家).
　　 Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common. “People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph Le Doux, a New York University memory researcher.“ All we want to do is to help people have better control of memories.”
　　63. What’s the main idea of this passage?
　　 A. People often suffer from bad memories.
　　 B. American researchers are trying to develop a pill.
　　 C. Forget bad memories, and be happy.
　　 D. The research has caused a heatedargument.
　　64. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4refers to “______”.
　　 A. the new drug
　　 B. the research into the drug
　　 C. the bad memory
　　 D. the chemical the drug
　　65. Which of the following is NOT theopinion of the supporters?
　　 A. The pill can erase all the memories of the past.
　　 B. Some memories can ruin people’s lives. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.
　　 C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer fromterrible memories.
　　 D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.
　　66. Which of the following is NOT theopinion of the opponents (反对者)?
　　 A. Our memories give us our identity.
　　 B. The memories help human avoidmistakes of the past.
　　 C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.
　　 D. People may not be sure whether theywant to wipe the memories out.

　　 Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too, US researchers reported on Tuesday.
　　 They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications.
　　 “We have a pretty impressive effect,” said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology(心脏病学) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
　　 “Blood vessel diameter improved,” he said. “The vessel opened up pretty significantly. You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise.” A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins.
　　 When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝块) that cause heart attacks and strokes. “We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health,” said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans.
　　 Miller’s team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music. They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel function.
　　 Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music. Listening to music they disliked — in most cases in this group heavy metal — blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said.
　　 Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. “I asked myself what other things make us feel real good, besides calories from dark chocolate of course. Music came to mind. …It makes me feel really good,” he said.
　　 Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual.
　　67. The underlined word dilate(in paragraph2) is closest in meaning to “______”.
　　A. widen B. move
　　C. change D. increase
　　68. According to the passage, which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up?
　　 A. Taking exercise.
　　 B. Listening to unpleasant music.
　　 C. Bursting into laughter.
　　 D. Taking drugs like statins.
　　69. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
　　A. blood clots are caused by heart attacksand strokes
　　 B. music is better than chocolate for yourhealth
　　 C. the style of music has different effectson different people
　　 D. a person’s overall health is more influenced by how much exercise hegets
　　70. What’s the best title of the passage?
　　 A. Pleasant Music Cures
　　 B. Research into Blood Vessel
　　 C. Music and Heart Attack
　　 D. Music and Happiness
