I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. 25 (finish) a worksheet early，I picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA was holding 26 essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器).Before
17、I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity.I couldnt wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed 27 my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in eve
18、ryones mind.”Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile 28 (spread) across her face.On August 5,2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I 29 (honour) to have a front-row seat in NASA.Curiosity is such an impor
19、tant part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I 30 sit together in the backyard for hours. Shed tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my

22、fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting（收缩）and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point (34)_ the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggested that the heart is able to i
23、nfluence (35)_ the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said, “Our study show for the first time that the way (36)_ we deal with fear is different, depending o
24、n when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart. The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr. Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping (37)_ when it is relaxed. Thu
25、s our hearts can also affect what we see and what we dont see and guide whether we see fear.” (38)_ (understand) this relationship further, the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a persons feeling of fear. “So far we (39)_(find) an importa
26、nt mechanism by which the heart and brain speak to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear” Dr. Garfinkel said. “We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety, di

For most people in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food 43 to us, by means of moder

In large 44the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have o
31、ver the past fifty years, the answer is 45 yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest 46 show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources we may well fi

60、their TVs - the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that: (1) women are helped more than men;(2) men help more than women;(3) attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.Other factors relate to
61、the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help.According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:(1) “S
62、hifting of responsibility” - the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people” there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.(2) “Fear of making a mistake” - situations are oft
63、en not clear. People think that those involved in an incident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.(3) “Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at
64、London University, says: “In the experiments Ive seen on intervention（介入）, much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved ,
65、 and a fight would easily follow.”Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “the British as a whole have some difficulty intervention, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety.
