29、hook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime momentthe commencement.Seated, I waited anxi
30、ously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽长袍).Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The
31、 US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(对美国的忠孝宣誓).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, sm
32、iles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had
33、 the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasnt boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred
34、 brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that persons life had turned.

38、h carried out by the University of Bari in Italy could help prove hospitals who are accused of wasting money on art and decoration as it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients ease discomfort and pain.A team headed by Professor Marina de Tommaso at the Neurophysiopathology Pain Unit asked a
39、group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli. They were then asked to look at either the beautiful paintings, or the ugly painting, or a blank panel while the team
40、 zapped(照射) a short laser pulse at their hand, creating a sensation as if they had been stuck by a pin. The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense while they were viewing the beautiful paintings, compared with when looking at the ugly paintings or the blank panel. Electrodes measuring
41、 the brains electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintings.While distractions, such as music, are known to reduce pain in hospital patients, Prof de Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part.The findings,
42、reported in New Scientist, also go a long way to show that beautiful surroundings could aid the healing process.Hospitals have been designed to be functional, but we think that their artistic aspects should be taken into account too, said the neurologist. Beauty obviously offers a distraction that u
43、gly paintings do not. But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse. I think these results show that more research is needed into the field how a beautiful environment can alleviate suffering.Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticell
44、is Birth of Venus. Pictures they found ugly included works by Pablo Picasso, the Italian 20th century artist Anonio Bueno and Columbian Fernando Botero. These people were not art experts so some of the pictures they found ugly would be considered masterpieces by the art world, said Prof de Tommaso.4

Beautiful surroundings could help to heal sufferings completely.B. Hospitals must take their artistic aspec
46、ts into consideration first.C. Ugly surroundings will surely make the pain worse.D. Both music and beauty can reduce pain in hospital patients.46. From the last paragraph, we know that _.A. some artists paintings were beautiful, so they were masterpiecesB. only art experts could judge they were mast

By the time it was your turn, the shining prizes of career advancement and a double income had lost their brightness. A splash（溅水）in the pool with you in your bright

58、 for the 2009 death of the pop superstar.Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor Tuesday handed the sentence to Dr. Conrad Murray, who was judged earlier this month guilty of involuntary manslaughter（过失杀人）in Jacksons death. Murray, however, could serve only half his sentence due to overcrowd
59、ing in Californias prison system.In issuing the sentence, the judge described Murray as a irresponsible physician whose actions were a great shame to the medical profession. Pastor also said Murray was involved in horrible medicine that included a complicated scheme to get the powerful anesthetic, p
60、ropofol, for Jackson. Pastor said Murray lied repeatedly and had not felt sympathetic towards Jackson, who battled insomnia（失眠症）.Prosecutors（原告）said Murray gave Jackson propofol, which is forbidden to be used as a sleep aid, and then abandoned the entertainer while he, Murray, attended to personal m
61、atters. They said the doctor put off calling for emergency help after finding Jackson unresponsive. They also said Jackson put his trust in Murray and paid for it with his life.Murrays lawyers argued Jackson gave himself the fatal dosage without the doctors knowledge. They said there is no proof the
62、 doctor did anything wrong. Murray did not take the stand in his defense.Jackson, 50, died June 25, 2009 in his rented Holmby Hills estate near Los Angeles when he was rehearsing for his series of 50 sold-out concerts to be staged in London. He would have earned at least 100 million U.S. dollars fro
63、m the tour, according to reports.Apart from the criminal trial, Jacksons father has filed a wrongful death suit, accusing Murray of lying to the doctors and paramedics who tried to save the singers life.Additionally, a hearing is set for January on a prosecution proposal that Murray pay more than $1
64、00 million to compensate Jacksons family.Jacksons mother, Katherine, said she was satisfied with the outcome of the high-publicity trial and expressed her gratitude to prosecutors when she was leaving the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles.The judge gave him the maximum, she said. So I thank the jud
65、ge and I thank the prosecutors, and I think everything went well.Many of the Jackson fans gathering outside the courthouse agreed that 4 year of imprisonment is not enough as a punishment for Murray.It is not enough, an unidentified man said.Michael Jacksons Doctor _51_ to 4 Years in Prison_52_ agai

In the age of high technology, reading deserves to be paid attention to.To begin with, it is the most flexible way
72、of getting information. Many people think it not only helps them better understand society as well as nature, but also broadens their horizon. Additionally, reading, to some degree, is of great benefit to interpersonal communication apart from self-improvement. It can also enrich our life and bring
73、people pleasure. Whats more, reading is also regarded by many as a means of better survival. However, not every book is worthy of being read. Some may mislead readers. So keep in mind that choosing a good book is like making a good friend. Besides, reading is supposed to be done in a proper period o
74、f time, for example, in our spare time, thus not disturbing our work or study. As long as we insist on reading, we can get improved gradually. Personally, I appreciate reading classical literature in my spare time, which provides me with a thorough understanding of life and society. Through practicing reading between the lines and beyond the lines, I find my comprehension ability stably improved. Perhaps in the near future, Im not merely a reader but also a writer. 高考资源网版权所有，侵权必究！
