17、 come out of my best friends mouth tore my heart apart. He has repeated that phrase more than once, and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording. I met him about three years ago. After knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles with depression. Sadness was not the only
18、 emotion that came over me; I was shocked. He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child, causing him to have suicidal thoughts. He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially
19、 those in his family. Nevertheless, he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak. Therefore, when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary. It does not matter where I am or what I am doing, for he always comes first. Many students at his school laugh a
20、t him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting. As he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him. But no one holds such a right, so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly. When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices, I always remind him th
21、at I care about him unconditionally. Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.My best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive. He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life. Our f
22、riendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someones life. With the fragility of life as it is, I believe in the necessity of encouragement.36.

25、The importance of encouragement. C. How to get rid of depression. D. The necessity of security. BIn America, drivers education is part of regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in drivers education. However, unlike other cou
26、rses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead, it is a summer course.The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study th
27、e basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a drivers license.Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the
28、other maneuvers required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor a
29、nd “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the drivers side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instr
30、uctor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.After the stu
31、dent has passed the drivers education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their drivers test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and
32、a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a drivers license. If the person did well in his or her drivers education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a drivers license.40.

46、y Pinocchio, you will remember that everyone knew when he lied because his nose grew. But did you know that your brain can also betray you when you tell a lie? A study released last Monday showed that the brains of people who are lying look very different from those who are telling the truth. Accord
47、ing to the US researchers, this finding could lead to creating a more accurate lie detector (测谎仪).“There may be separate areas in the brain involved in truth-telling and cheating that can be measured,” said Scott Faro, head of the research group. Faro and other scientists tested nine volunteers. Six
48、 of them were asked to shoot a toy gun and then lie and say they didnt do it. Three others who watched told the truth about what happened.The volunteers were connected to a special machine, which used a strong magnet (磁铁) to provide a real-time picture of brain activity. Clear differences were seen
49、between the liars and the truth-tellers. A total of seven areas were active in the cheating group, but only four in the truth-telling team.“It seemed to take more brain effort to tell the lie than to tell the truth,” Faro said.The traditional lie-detector machine looks at sweat, skin, breathing and
