15、 he was about to pull back onto the road, his mother called. “Have you seen?” she said, “A bridge collapsed two hours ago, the one that you drive over on the way to Los Angeles.”Daryls blood run cold.

19、nswer may not be a definite “yes”, but a study by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, found that you would at least have a clue, since people with certain names tend to share similar facial appearances. For example, if someone is named Bob, hes likely to have a round and joyful face, while s
20、omeone named Tim tends to have a narrower face and a more serious look. People have long been associating names with certain cultural expectations, which may be responsible for the studys results. For example, a woman named Katherine is usually considered to be more reliable than a girl named Bonnie
21、. Previous studies also found that people with traditionally African-American names such as DeShawn and Jamal are more likely to be seen as dangerous and violent by their teachers and are less likely to be hired in jobs. These stereotypes（固定模式）have become so widespread that theyve even affected how
22、people look at themselves. In fact, people tend to subconsciously（下意识地）change their own personalities to fit into these stereotypesKatherines may try hard to be trustworthy and Bonnies may care less about the mistakes they make. “We develop the personality that other people expect us to exhibit,” sa
23、id lead researcher Youat Zwebner, according to The Telegraph. In other words, its not that names change people, but people try to live up to their names. And our faces may even change over time, based on these stereotypes. “Usually, we think that faces are very fixed but now we show that theyre not,
24、” the studys co-author Ruth Mayo told UKs iNews. According to Mayo, the use of different facial expressions can allow people to develop different looks. “If you smile a lot, you have different wrinkles around your eyes and your mouth from if you frown a lot,” she said. 28.

DWhy Mars (火星) is New SettlementIs it possible to live on other planets? The United States government is ta
29、king a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement. The moon could serve as a training ground for later journeys to Mars. Currently, with Mars becoming the eventual long-term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers of the settlement on the moon a
30、re too extreme and unnecessary.One major reason the settlement on the moon is too dangerous is the difference between the atmosphere environment of the moon and Mars. Atmosphere is important because it protects humans and all other life from a continuous attack of radiation (辐射) caused by sources su
31、ch as the sun. This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively change DNA. The fact that the moon has no atmosphere can cause great harm to human beings. Although Mars atmosphere is significantly thinner than Earths, at least it has one and
32、 would create some sort of protective barrier for humans.Another important characteristic necessary for human settlement is natural resources like water, of which the moon is believed to have none. Mars, however, contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow. There is also sufficient
33、 evidence that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planet warms. With increased technologies, the potential for settlers to remain on Mars by being increasingly self-sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as the space settlement than the moon. F
34、uture settlers will not only benefit from potential water on Mars; the planet is also rich in other natural resources such as oxygen, hydrogen, and minerals, which can be well used in productive ways. For example, hydrogen can be used as fuel, and it can be combined with nitrogen (氮气) to form new ma
35、terials necessary for human settlement. Due to these advantages, Mars would be a more successful planet for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive.Since the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and it contains resources nece
36、ssary to help life exist, it should be the only option for any kind of long-term human settlement. The settlement on Mars would not only be a milestone in space but also an excellent chance for mankind to improve itself from past adventures on Earth and preserve and make the best use of the natural
37、resources Mars has to offer.32. According to Paragraph 2, the atmosphere on Mars would .A. change the DNA structure of humans B. measure the harmful radiation from spaceC. provide protection against dangerous effects D. cause humans to be exposed to serious illnesses33. What can be inferred about wa
38、ter on Mars?A. It is not present in a liquid state. B. It doesnt exist in large quantities.C. It will bring potential dangers to settlers. D. It can be easily changed into liquid forms.34. The author believes that .A. exploration of Mars takes great risk B. natural resources on Mars last foreverC. s
39、ettlement on Mars is perfectly acceptable D. Mars is more suitable for settlement than Earth35.
