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 feeling that came over me; i was shocked. he seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. i soon learned that he was hurt physically and mentally as a young child, causing him to have the thought of killing himself. he refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his family. however, 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 at 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 that i care about him unconditionally. just hearing me say i will always be his best friend seems to give him the safety 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 helped him not to take his life. our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someones life. life is not easy for every one, which makes me strongly believe in the necessity of encouragement.56. according to the first paragraph, hearing his friends words, the author felt_.a. puzzledb. painfulc. frightenedd. hopeless57. by saying “convenience is not in my vocabulary”, the author means _. a. he is always ready to help his friend b. he hardly spares time to help his friend c. he has no good excuse for refusing his friend d. he is not good at communicating with his friend58. the authors friend

with luke kaye. thats because this dedicated fan has covered his back, arms, and legs with tattoos(紋身) of star wars characters. kaye got his first tattoo about six years ago. once he started, he just couldnt stop. “i kept seeing characters in the movies and thinking, that would make a great tattoo!” he says. kaye also collects items related to star wars. he recently had to sell a large part of his collection because it became too expensive to store it. but he can keep the tattoos forever. “i am nowhere near finished yet,” says kaye, who lives in england. he plans to get tattoos of large spaceships down his sides. “you never know with me,” he adds, “i could come home one day with my whole face tattooed.”the hole story “people often just want to look at me or touch me,” says elaine davidson. its no wonder. davidson, who lives in scotland, is covered with nearly 7,000 piercings (穿環(huán))! according to guinness world records, she is the most pierced woman on earth. together, davidsons studs(耳釘) and rings weigh almost seven pounds. she never removes them. she keeps them on even when she goes through scanners at airports. all she takes off is her watch! in june, davidson

performing. they might wear sunglasses and a big hat when they go out, hoping that no one will recognize them. lady gaga, has a distinctive(與眾不同的) approach. she dresses up whether shes walking through

a. is good at playing music b. doesnt avoid being focused on c. often performs in public d. does much to improve the worldcpeople have often wondered about margaret thatchers famous claim that she only needed four hours of sleep a night. people were amazed that former british prime minister had managed to run the country on so little sleep. most people need at least seven or eight hours rest every night. but now scientists have discovered a gene(基因)that affects the amount of sleep we need and which allows some people to survive on fewer hours. they found a mother and a daughter who have a rare gene that allows them to sleep less than the rest of their family but still feel alert during the day. the pair managed to stay alert on about six hours sleep a night, two hours less than the rest of their family needs.the finding, published in science magazine, offers a new direction for studies on how sleep affects health. experts say adults need seven to nine hours of sleep for good health, while teenagers and kids need more. people who dont get enough sleep are more likely to get sick and suffer from memory loss.in 2001,scientists at the university of california discovered a mutation(突變)in a gene that causes people with that gene to have very unusual sleeping patterns. these people go to bed around 7:30 pm and wake around 3:30 am.now the team has found a gene that affects how long a person can stay asleep. in the family they studied, the 69-year-old mother and her 44-year-old daughter usually went to bed around 10 pm. the mother woke up around 4 am, and her daughter woke up around 4:30 am. both of them felt fully rested. blood tests showed the women have a mutation in a gene named dec2, which regulates the bodys clock.researcher ying-hui fu bred(培育) mice and fruit flies to carry the mutation. the flies and mice with the mutation slept less than ordinary flies and mice, and needed less time to recover from little sleep.64. what is the main idea of the passage? a. less sleep does not affect peoples health. b. different people have different sleeping patterns. c. new measures can reduce the effect of less sleep on health. d. the hours we need to sleep may be affected by some gene in our body.65. the underlined word “alert” in paragraph 4 is similar in meaning to .a. comfortableb. wide awakec. quite alive d. sleepy66. in the study, the mother and the daughter . a. were found to have a mutation in the gene dec2 b. were asked to sleep less than other family members c. had the same sleeping pattern as other family members d. suffered from memory loss for sleeping only six hours a night 67. according to the passage, the new finding can help . a. recover memory loss b. cure sleeping problems c. get rid of mice and fruit flies more easily d. explain why some people need less sleep to feel fully restedd not long ago, many doctors in the west laughed at the suggestion that they might learn something from traditional asian systems of healing. most of them thought that asian herbal (藥草的) medicine and acupuncture(針灸) were believed in only by simple people who knew no better. western doctors relied mainly on chemical cures as the safest and surest way to treat illnesses. the scientific age of antibiotics(抗生素), “miracle drugs” and heart transplants encouraged the public to that there must be a pill for every illness. it was true that often the drug companies provided what the public wanted: a speedy temporary cure and did not remove the real cause of the illness. moreover, some people actually became ill through taking too much medicine.many people in the west are now beginning to look for more natural cures for their illnesses and often they turn to the ancient wisdom of the east. there are some doctors in britain now who offer their patients acupuncture treatment. recently an indian company which produces a natural medicine based on the biba root has sold some to germany. the world health organization(who) encourages doctors not to rely too greatly on expensive western medicines but to choose them carefully and use also their traditional herbal cures.the mixture of eastern and western medicine has been practiced very successfully in china. china is still the only country in the world where the traditional doctor using herbal medicine and acupuncture is as respected as the western-trained doctor. through china all types of doctors are expected to work together. western-style doctors are required to take at least a one-year course in traditional medicine, and the acupunctures must also study the basics of western medicine. chinas way of “having the best of both worlds” has greatly impressed many visiting doctors from the west.experts from the who have decided that the time has come to study herbal medicine very carefully and to decide, by carefully controlled scientific experiments, what good these medicine migh
