They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep score
24、s. They dont care much about who wins or loses, and it does not seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing o
25、f leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself. Grown-ups can hardly find childrens games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for ve
26、ry important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is hi

47、ublic schools.DThere are some things humans can go without. We can lose a kidney or a lung, an arm or two and still live perfectly well. But some fish put us to shame. They can get by without stomachs. One such fish is the stout longtom. The group it belongs to carries a more appropriate name: the n
48、eedlefish. All needlefish lack stomachs. Their ancestors had them, but later they were lost.The stout longtom can reach 1.3 meters in length, and lives near the sea surface. Like all needlefish, it can jump out of the water to escape its enemies. Tropical fishermen are sometimes injured by needlefis
49、h. In 1977, a 10-year-old Hawaiian boy was killed when a needlefish jumped through his brain. The longtom eats smaller fish. Its teeth are not good at cutting fish into pieces, so it swallows fish whole.Ryan Day from Australia and his colleagues wanted to know how the longtom digests its meaty meals
50、 without a stomach, so they ran some chemical tests about the fish.Days results show that the longtom can consume food without the help of a stomach. It uses a special material called trypsin that can break down proteins without acid although the approach is less efficient than using a stomach.Becau
51、se its a meat-eating animal, the longtom gets a lot of protein in its food, so it can afford this slightly less efficient system for absorbing it. Two plant-eating fish that Day studies actually had higher levels of trypsin in their body, as their food was low in protein.Day thinks that the longtom
52、and its stomachless relatives might actually have arrived at an energy-saving solution. He says that although the stomach is critical to many kinds of animal, the organ is “a fairly expensive organ to run”. This perhaps explains why some animals have got rid of theirs. 63. What does the underlined p
53、hrase “get by” mean?A. Recover.B. Fight.C. Hunt.D. Live.64. Ryan Day ran the chemical tests in order to find out how the longtom _.A. catches smaller fish in the water B. digests the smaller fish in its bodyC. can jump so high to escape its enemiesD. uses acid to break down the protein65. What plays

55、e higher levels of trypsin in their bodies than plant-eating fish E What do you do when you feel lonely? Hide yourself away and spend your time reading, watching TV or walking around? You might think that feeling lonely is just like feeling happy, sad or scared-that its just one of your various mood
56、s. That is true. However, if you let yourself be lonely for too long without dealing with it, you could be making a serious mistake.Doctors have known for some time that feeling lonely is bad for the mind. It can lead to mental health problems such as depression, stress and reduce confidence. “Being
57、 lonely means not feeling connected or cared for, its not about being physically alone,” Lisa Jaremka, scientist from Ohio State University, US, told Live Science in January. But theres growing evidence that not having friends is connected with physical illness as well.In 2006, for example, scientis
58、ts studied 2,800 women who had cancer. They found that those who had few friends or family were five fimes more likely to die of their disease than women with many social contacts. Also, even healthy people had a better chance of falling ill if they felt left out by others, according to the BBC.The
59、results have scientists thinking that loneliness might hurt the immune system, which protects the body from diseases.Hoping to prove this theory, Jaremka and her research team put volunteers through a stress test. During the test, volunteers were asked to make an unprepared speech in front of a grou
60、p of stony-faced peole. The researchers found that volunteers who said they were lonely in their daily lives felt more stress during the test. And their blood samples showed that all the stress had managed to cause harmful changes to their immune system.“Loneliness has been thought of in many ways a
61、s a chronic stressor(慢性增压器) a socially painful situation that can last for quite a long time,” explained Jaremka, who led the study.The number of people suffering from loneliness is increasing all over the world. However, solving the problem is easier said than done. It wont work to just “tell anyon
62、e to go out and find someone to love you”, said Jaremka. “We need to create support networks.”67. If people feel lonely for a long time, _. A. they wont feel happy anymore B. they are more likely to fall ill C. they will find the feeling goes away by itself D. they are more mentally harmed than phys
63、ically68. What was the purpose of the stress test carried out by Jaremkas team? A. To find out how peopl fight diseases. B. To prove loneliness hurts peoples immune systems. C. To find out the relationship between loneliness and stress. D. To see how peoples emotions change when they give unprepared
64、 speeches.69. What makes scientists think loneliness makes the body worse at fighting diseases? A. Growing evidence of mental problems linked to loneliness. B. Some research results about the relationship between cancer and loneliness. C. Some studies showed that people who suffered from loneliness
65、fell ill or died more easily than those who didnt. D. Different results after comparing healthy conditions of people who suffer from loneliness and those who dont.70.
