We started offering programs in Sarasota in February in 1991 and our first Forum was held in 1992 as a small group meeting. Being from the Northern USA, this was a partic
27、ularly good time to go south for the warmth of our friendship with Dr. Treffinger and Dr. Noller and to keep away from the cold winter. The Forum is the only chance to learn about various topics of the creativity and innovation （革新）and from those who have rich experience and interest in the field. T

34、ities and topics of the ForumBMost people would agree that it would be wonderful if humans could regenerate(再生) limbs. Those who have lost their arms or legs would be complete again. The day is still far off when this might happen. But in the last 10 years , doctors have reported regeneration in sma
35、ller parts of the body , most often fingers .Regeneration is not a newly-discovered process. For centuries, scientists have seen it work in some kinds of animals. Scientists now are looking for a way to turn on this exciting ability in more highly-developed animals, including humans. Their experimen
36、ts show that nerves(神经), cell chemistry and the natural electric currents in the body all seem to have a part in this process.The body of every animal contains general purpose cells that change into whatever kind of cells the body needs. These cells collect around the wound. They form a mass called
37、a blastema(芽基). The cells of the blastema begin to change. Some became bone cells, some muscle cells, some skin cells. Slowly, a new part re-grows from the body outward. When completed, the new part is just like the old one.More than 200 years ago, Italian scientist Luigi Spallanzani showed that you
38、nger animals have a greater ability to regenerate lost parts than older animals. So do animals lower on the ladder of evolutionary(进化的) development. The major differences seem to be that less-developed animals have more nerves in their tails and legs than humans do in their arms and legs.Another hel
39、pful piece of information was discovered in the late 1800s. Scientists found that when a creature is injured, an electrical current flows around the wound. The strength of the current depends on how severe the wound is and on how much nerve tissue(组织) is present.60According to the passage, limb rege
40、neration _. Awill become a reality in the near futureBhas been reported successful in some patientsChas a long way to go before it works in humansDis a branch of study set up by a group of modern doctors61What animals are lower on the ladder of evolutionary development?AMore-developed animals.BLess-
41、developed animals.CHighly-developed animals.DFully-developed animals.62According to Luigi Spallanzanis discovery , _. Ahumans have less nerves in the limbs than animalsBsome animals may not have so much nerve tissue as othersCan injured animal regenerates masses of cells round the woundDelectrical c
42、urrent can be found around the wound in younger animals63The passage is mainly about _. Aa newly-discovered processBresearch on animal evolutionCa new medical discoveryDresearch on regenerationCI began to smoke when I was in high school. In fact, I remember the evening I was at a girlfriends house,
43、and we were watching a moviea terribly romantic movie. He(the hero of the movie) was in love, she (his lady) was beautiful, and they were both smoking. My friend had only two cigarettes from a pack in her mothers purse, and she gave one to me. It was my first time.My parents didnt care much. They bo
44、th smoked, and my older brother did too. My mother told me that smokers dont grow tall, but I was already 56 ” (taller than most of the boys in my class), so I was happy to hear that “fact”. In school, the teachers talked against smoking, but the cigarette advertisements were so exciting. The men in
45、 the ads were so good-looking and so successful, and the women were beautiful and sophisticated（老于世故的）.I read a book called “How to stop smoking”. The writer said that smoking wastes time, and that cigarettes cost a lot of money. “So what?” I thought, the book didnt say that smoking can take away ye
46、ars of your life. But ten years later, everyone began to hear about the negative effects of cigarette smoke: lung disease, cancer, and heart problems. After that, there was a health warning on every pack of cigarettes. I didnt pay much attention to the reports and warnings. I felt healthy, and I tho
47、ught I was taking good care of myself.Then two events changed my mind. First, I started to cough. I thought it was just a cold, but it didnt get better. Second, my brother got lung cancer. He got sicker and sicker. My brother and I used to smoke cigarettes together over twenty years age, and we smok
48、ed our last cigarettes together the day before he died. I sat with him in his hospital room, and I decided to quit. “No more cigarettes, ever.” I said to myself.However, it was very hard to stop. Nicotine（尼古丁）is a drug; as a result, cigarettes cause a powerful addiction（上瘾）. I tried several times to
49、 quit on my ownwithout success. I made excuses. I told myself: Smoking helps me keep my figurei.e. I dont gain weight when I smoke. Smoking not only relaxes me but it also helps me think clearly. Im a free, liberated woman. I can smoke when I want to.Finally, I ran out of excusesI might say my excus
50、es went up in smoke. I joined the “Stop Smoking” program at the local hospital, which also ended up in failure.64The “fact” in Paragraph 2 refers to _. Aher admiration for the men in the adsBher mothers warning that smokers dont grow tallCher height of 56Dthe teachers negative attitude towards smoki

Acost the writer a lot of time to readBwas not taken seriously by the writerCwarned the reader of the risk of lung cancerDleft the writer in puzzle66The writer decided to quit smoking partly because _. Ashe could not afford any more cigarettesBher doctor
52、had advised her to do soCher brother had given up smokingDshe had started to cough67The writer found it hard to quit smoking because _. Ashe had been nicotine addicted.Bshe had been putting on weight.Cshe could not think clearly.Dshe was an independent woman.DHow would you like an easy way to earn 2
53、,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. Theres a catch ,however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You cant leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every mov
54、e.Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise peoples awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay 5,000 out of his own savings to two
55、 people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.To Robs surprise quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Para, a 24-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that w
56、as six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum.The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldnt stand up without hanging their heads. They ate vegetarian mash（土豆泥）and drank water from a garden hose
57、pipe. Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”Finally it was over, and Par
58、a and Eric emerged from their cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a 2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “Its great to be able to stand up,” he said. Pam just changed her clothes
59、and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didnt want to talk to anyone.68The underlined word “catch” probably means _. Aunsolved problemBsurprising wonderCunbelievable factDhidden difficulty69What made it most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?AThey didnt know each o
60、ther.BThey couldnt lie down to sleep in the cage.CThey didnt have meat to eat.DThey had to do almost everything under others very eyes.70Rob offered the money because he wanted _. Ato see if there were any people who would like to live in a cageBto show the public how terrible animals life could beC

The people whom we interviewed have two different opinions. 45% of the people enjoy reading newspapers. First of all, as a convenient source of information, readi
77、ng newspapers is not limited by time. Secondly, reading also makes people think, which helps develop peoples intelligence. Moreover, people can select and read whatever section they are interested in.However, 55% of the people dont turn to newspapers to get information. They hold the idea that newsp
78、apers are not very attractive because they lack the sound and video that make other sources of information more exciting to look at than newspapers. Whats more, readers receive information from newspapers later than from the Internet and TV.In my opinion, people can make use of whatever means to gather information, so long as its convenient for them.Yours,Li Hua
