I wondered if they could hear it. Against my will, I could feel my face turning hot and knew that I was blushing. Even if they c
2、annot hear my heart thumping with every beat, I thought, they can surely see it in my eyes. My eyes are always a dead give-away. They well up with fear and often even hot with tears, every time I get nervous. That and my stupid old face turning a bright shade of red I knew that by now I probably loo
3、ked like a sunburned tomato. They would never take me seriously.I began to wish that I was more like my sister. She is always so confident and proud of herself. It seemed like she hardly ever gets nervous when it really counts. Either that or she hid it better than I. I wished I had never even thoug
4、ht of this stupid idea of running for student body president. That was a month ago, before I found out that I would have to speak in front of the entire school. It was too late to back out now pretty soon the speeches would begin. It would only be a few hours before the embarrassing results would co
5、me out, and that wasnt even the worst of my worries. What would everyone say? What would my parents think when I told them that I lost the election? They were so proud of me; I would never be able to tell them. Everyone was counting on me, my teachers, my friends, even the principal. I was sure that
6、 I would fail miserably now that I had gotten myself into such a negative state of mind. I reread my speech. All the great hopes and ideas I had, all written on that awful piece of paper. I realized why I had written those words and an air of anticipation (预感) ran through my body. Just in time, too.
7、I heard my name only seconds later. Those few feet to the podium ( 讲 台 ) felt like a mile. My knees were shaking, but somehow I managed to keep my ground. Although I knew that I probably wouldnt need it, I placed my well-rehearsed speech on the podium. Then, like a gymnast about to plunge into a tum
8、bling pass, I looked up at the audience. And as I delivered that speech, a new and strange realization came to me. I had captured their attention and for a moment-they belonged to me.1.

20、 fans of winter, animals that hibernate seem to have the right idea: Its the equivalent of burying your head under the covers until spring comes isnt it? Not quite.“Most of the physiological functions are extremely slowed down,” says Marina Blanco, a postdoctoral associate at the Duke Lemur (狐猴) Cen
21、ter in Durham, North Carolina. For example, when lemurs hibernate, they reduce their heart rates from over 300 beats per minute to fewer than six, says Blanco. And instead of breathing about every second, they can go up to 10 minutes without taking a breath. Their brain activity “becomes undetectabl
22、e.” This is very different from sleep, which is gentle resting state where unconscious functions are still performed.Put simply: “Hibernation is a means of energy conservation,” says Kelly Drew, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks who studies the brain chemistry of hibernatin
23、g Arctic ground squirrels.While hibernation is often seen as a seasonal behavior, its not limited to cold-weather animals. There are tropical hibernators that may do so to beat the heat. And “some species hibernate in response to food shortages,” notes Drew. For example, echidnas ( 针鼹) in Australia
24、will hibernate after fires, waiting until food resources rebound to resume normal activities.To slow their metabolism (新陈代谢), animals cool their bodies by 5 to 10 C on average. The Arctic ground squirrels Drew works on can take this much further, supercooling to subfreezing temperatures. Drews resea
25、rch has shown that cooling is likely regulated by levels of adenosine (腺苷) in the brain. Not only does adenosine increase in winter in ground squirrels, the receptors for the molecule become more sensitive to it.But species dont stay in their cold, sleeping state for the duration of their dormant pe
26、riod. About 80 percent of their energy is spent intermittently (间歇地) waking and warming up. Why they do this is “one of the greatest mysteries” of the field, says Thomas Ruf, a professor of animal physiology at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna. Some think they need to turn back on the
27、ir immune systems to fight disease, while others think they may simply awaken so they can sleep.One bird and a variety of amphibians(两栖动物), reptiles and insects also exhibit hibernation-like states. There is even at least one fish the Antarctic cod that slows down its metabolism in winter, becoming
28、20 times less active. And, of course, there are lots of mammals. While bears might be the first that come to mind, most mammalian hibernators are on the smaller side. “The average hibernator weighs only 70 grams,” says Ruf. Thats because little bodies have high surface area to volume ratios(表面积与体积比)
29、, making it more difficult for them to stay warm in cold weather so they need the seasonal energy savings more than larger animals.8. How does the author distinguish between hibernation and sleep?A. By highlighting reasons.B. By presenting definitions.C. By introducing arguments.D. By comparing the
30、data.9. “echidnas” in Paragraph 3 is introduced to show .A.animals cool their bodies by 5 to 10C on averageB.tropical hibernators may hibernate to beat the heatC.some species hibernate in response to food shortageD.hibernation is most often seen as a seasonal behavior10. The last paragraph mainly di

The passage implies that .A.It is harder for smaller animals to keep warm in winter.B.The cooling of bodies may influence the levels of adenosine.C.Scientists dont agree
32、 on the reasons of intermittent hibernation.D.Body functions are still unconsciously performed during hibernation. DCollaboration at work is generally seen as a good thing. The latest survey by the Financial Times of what employers want from MBA graduates found that the ability to work in a team, to
33、 work with a wide variety of people and to build, maintain and expand a network of people were three of the top five skills that managers wanted.But managers always have to balance the merits(优点) of teamwork, which help ensure that everyone is working towards the same goal, with the dangers of “grou
34、pthink”, when some dont point out the faults of a plan to fit in with others. When people are aware of the views of others, there is a tendency for them to follow, as participants are reluctant to look foolish by deviating from the majority view. The same effect may lead to stock-market bubbles.Mode
35、rn communication methods mean that collaboration is more frequent. Workers are constantly in touch with each other via e-mail, messaging groups or mobile calls. But does that improve or worsen performance?A new study by Ethan Bernstein, Jesse Shore and David Lazer, three American academics, tried to
36、 answer this question. They set a logical problem (devising the shortest route for a travelling salesman visiting various cities). Three groups were involved: one where subjects acted independently; another where they saw the solutions posted by team members at every stage; and a third where they we
37、re kept informed of each others views only intermittently (间歇地).The survey found that members of the individualist group reached the best solution more often than the constant collaborators, but had a poorer average result. The intermittent collaborators found the right result as often as the indivi
38、dualists, and got a better average solution.When it comes to idea generation, giving people a bit of space to find a solution seems to be a good idea. Occasional collaboration can be a big help; most people have benefited from a colleagues wise advice to avoid a particular course of action.Close tea
39、mwork may be vital in the lower reaches of a group, but at the top, someone has to make a decision. At this stage, intense collaboration may be less helpful. Fashion houses with co-creative directors are rated as less creative by industry experts than brands that were individually led. Co-led teams
40、of Himalayan climbers are more likely to suffer deaths than those with single leaders. Experts think that co-leadership “creates uncertainty over who is really in charge”. The battles between Sandy Weill and John Reed when they were co-chief executives of Citigroup in the late 1990s were infamous. L
41、ess than 5% of companies in the Fortune 500 have used a co-CEO structure since 1989. In short, collaboration may be a useful tool, but it doesnt work in every situation.12. What does the underlined word “deviating” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Suffering.B. Differing.C. Varying.D. Ranging.13. In t
