My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would
14、feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It
15、 was only when I turned to meditation for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive aga
16、in. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, Im singing in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, whi
17、ch only leads to depression and stress.Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.If you feel a little low in
18、 spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.31The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to_.Atake photosBfind a solution to the project Chop along the pathDcheer herself up 32The underline
19、d part to no avail in Paragraph 1 probably means _.AunsuccessfulBunrelatedCuninterestingDunexpected 33In the authors opinion, _.Aa bath can make people relaxed Bdepression is usually caused by hard work Cwalking in a busy city centre harms peoples health Dadults should express their inner feelings f
20、reely 34The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) _.AexplanationBsuggestion CintroductionDreminderBIts really true what people say about English politeness: its everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you”
21、rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are
22、some more polite ways of interacting with people in UK.People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in su
23、ch a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.Another thing I observed during my stay was that English p
24、eople rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel c
25、omfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit t
26、ightfisted.35What is the authors attitude towards English politeness?A. He thinks it is unnecessary.B. He thinks little of it.C. He appreciates it very much.D. He thinks it goes too far.36What can be inferred from the passage?A. German men never treat a woman to dinner.B. The author think its unnece
27、ssary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.C. In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.D. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.37We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _.A. like to fight with each otherB. treat women
28、 in a polite wayC. are as generous as English menD. are unwilling to spend money for women38The author develops the text through the method of _.A. making comparisons B. telling storiesC. giving reasons D. giving examplesCHoney Sweet Cake (Prep.

You may be eligible for new tax credits to help you afford the plan thats right for you. And if you are in the up to half of all Americans who have been sick or have a preexisting conditio
39、n, this law means that beginning January 1st, insurance companies have to cover you, Obama said.Health-care spending accounts for one-seventh of U.S. economic activity, and is projected to increase to one-fifth in coming years. The cost has a direct bearing on Americas economic and financial well-be
40、ing. Drawn up in 2010, the Affordable Care Act aims to control costs and expand access to health care. The effort is a big failure, according to Republican law makers like Tim Griffin and Todd Young.“Republicans will continue to do everything we can to protect all Americans from the presidents top-d
41、own, one-size-fits-all, Washington-knows-best approach to health care that is driving up costs and hurting our economy, said Griffin. “The sooner we can delay, oppose and cancel the presidents health-care law, the sooner we can get people back to work and focus on expanding opportunity for everyone.
42、”The president accuses Republicans of putting partisanship(党派偏见) ahead of Americans health-care needs. “A lot of Republicans seem to believe that if they can gum up the works and make this law fail, they will somehow be sticking it to me. But they would just be sticking it to you. Your health insura

48、atment of nerve disorders such as Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease and other nerve disorders.Pei Duanqing, a professor at Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said his research team has combined an episomal system to deliver reprogramming factors with a
49、chemically defined culture medium to reprogram kidney epithelial(肾表皮) cells in urine into NPCs.These NPCs, normally only found in the human brain, were later proven to be transgene-free and self-renewing, he said.These nerve and brain cells can survive for up to one month when transplanted into the
50、brain of a newborn rat, said Pei. My team is working hard to understand why our experimental condition allowed the urine cells to become NPCs, because we want to improve the technique and make it more efficient.Scientists have long searched to treat and study neural disorders by obtaining and transp
51、lanting neural stem cells. However, the previous method of getting and using cells from either fetal (胎儿)or adult human tissue remains challenging due to ethical concerns and immune system rejections, he said.Pei hopes the discovery will be used to generate NPCs from patients with nerve disorders su

59、y damaging, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst
60、 with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the
61、 brain releases the same hormones . They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently ma

Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of
63、the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is, they say, Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the
