30、t she had recovered slowly and steadily，overcoming two periods of rejectionIn 2006，Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30yearold hit by a bearWhile there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation，two years later the man was doing well，his doctors said“This ca

Whats to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these
36、 self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesnt
37、quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes its having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasnt it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily
38、drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot
39、 of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, c
40、igarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits arent self-control failures far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To li
41、ve happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.59. What do most people think causes bad behavior? A. Being forced by others. B. Enjoying their first experiences. C. Not having enough will power.
42、 D. Following the examples of their friends.60. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove _. A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers C. self-control should be developed when one is young D. everyone can be chall
43、enged by different temptations61. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that _. A. without self-control, no one can succeed B. applying self-control correctly is important C. bad habits dont always lead to bad results. D. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior62. What would be the best tit
44、le for the passage? A. My First Sip of BeerB. Do You Have Will Power ? C. Will Power Benefits UsD. Dark Side of Self-controlCAfter giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was
45、told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now h
46、e was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously,
47、 he knew what he was talking about. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold
48、medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to t
49、he Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Dick,My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture yo
50、u sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know Im a champion, and God knows
51、 that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Matthew63.

Some of their meals could surprise you.Crazy Calorie CountGlassman said Olympians eat a lot of food- quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One s
56、ecret of swimmer Michael Phelps astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12,00 calories in one day.Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps workouts can burn 4,000 to 6,000 calories in
57、 a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.Snacking SecretsSome athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolts thunder on the track during the Olympi

64、1个单词。Made In The USA: An Export BoomIn his State of the Union address two years ago, President Obama argued that in order to recover from the economic recession, one of the few things the US. needed to do was to export more goods around the world. That night, the president unveiled a new goal: to do
65、uble US. exports over the next five years. It would be an increase that the president said would “support two million jobs in America.”Most economists dismissed the promise at the time as something unrealistic, but two years later, the US. is on pace to meet that goal. American exports are up 34 per
66、cent since the president gave that speech, and the number continues to rise.Competitive In A Global MarketMarlin Steel, a metal working business in Baltimore, makes parts that ship all across the world. “We export to 36 countries，” owner Drew Greenblatt tells All Things Considered Host Guy Raz. “Wer
67、e working around the clock, and were growing.”Its not just advanced manufacturing exports on the rise, but pork, cattle and all kinds of agricultural exports are up as well. Even American craft beer has found an export market.Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso says that increasingly, people all over the worl
68、d are trying the beer from the Maryland-based brewery. Caruso says，“Even in those top beer-producing countries, a competitive American product is finding a market.”Services Are Exports, TooAnother place exports are coming from is New York Cityin particular, the 30th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper o
69、n 5th Avenue and 52nd Street. Thats where the consulting firm Kurt Solomon lies. It doesnt actually produce a product for export; it provides management advice and strategy.“Four out of every five Americans is now employed in the service industry，” the nations top trade official, Ron Kirk says, “Ser
70、vices are a significant part of our exports, and make up about a quarter of our exported goods.” These services can include everything from legal consulting, finance, information technology and even engineering.And There Are Other FactorsSo why has there been an increase of more than 30 percent for
71、exports in almost everything? Part of the increase, at least for the manufacturing side, is due to better technology, says Tyler Cowen, an economist. “A lot of it is being driven by smart machines，” he tells Raz，“The US. has high wage rates, which is a disadvantage, but if machines are doing a lot o
72、f the work, that doesnt matter.”China factors a lot in Americas export economy, too. “Wages in China have been going up as the country becomes more productive. Thus China is losing the cheap labor advantage it has held for some time.” Cowen says.Will Jobs Grow, too?“Companies have become more produc
73、tive by dismissing workers and lowering costs.” Cowen says. “So I dont view exporting as a way of creating a very large number of jobs, but it will create more profits.”So not every business or worker is necessarily benefiting from the export boom in the US., and Cowen says that could ultimately lea
