10、ficers Whistle.D. Moocie the Soochie Visits the Peace People.B Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone cant make us tire. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue（疲劳）.To the amazeme
11、nt of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素）and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it woul
12、d show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from o
13、ur mental and emotional（情绪的）attitudes. One of Englands most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares
14、, One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciatedthose are the emotions that tir
15、e sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.25. What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A.

17、he passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to .A. have some good food. B. enjoy their workC. exercise regularly D. discover fatigue toxinsCThe English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.One such example is the
18、word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Lets get to the heart of the matter a matter of principle(原则).If someone says that you owe(欠) him $50, but you dont, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. Its n
19、ot that much money. Then you wont have to hear him say it anymore. But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. Its a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.If you ask someone, “Whats the matter?”, it shows you are
20、worried about the other person. But saying, “Whats the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “Whats the matter with you?” you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.Another expression that could sound rude
21、 is to say, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.Lets say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesnt matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying, “Oh, you pick whe
22、re we eat dinner. It doesnt matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesnt matter” shows you are easy-going(随和的).No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And its only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.28. We
