Your body is a very complicated（复杂的） machine, 38 a lot of chemical machinery, all of which is finally turned 39 it all works together . Special chemicals, which we call drugs ,can affect it in many different ways. Some drugs are 40 when your body has a problem, as with disease-causing bacteria. Then someone may give you aspirin to keep your temperature from going too 41 or some penicillin（青霉素） 42 it stops the growth of some kinds of bacteria. 43 ,all drugs are really poison, 44 if you take too much ,so you must always use them 45 .

That makes you want to get 49 of the drug .Drugs like cocaine have their special effects because they act as 50 for your nervous system.

Consumers（消费者） will soon be showing of tiny “communication devices” that join mobile telephone ,Internet terminals（终端机） ,music systems, cameras and other uses, Nokia executive（总裁） Bo Lisoe said. The devices will become smaller, and as common as watches ,Lisoe believed.“We have to liberate the internet from the desktop and we have to rethink what a mobile phone is , because its no longer a mobile phone ,”said Lisoe, a marketing director for Nokia. Tiny, wireless computers using satellites and video-on-demand services will soon have people “switching（转换） between your stock （股票）prices and television programs ”wherever they go ,said Sugra Venkat, a communications director at Oracle Corporation .Bothe executives were in Singapore for Communic Asia 99,Asias largest telecommunications conference. More than 27,000 industry insiders and 900 companies were connected with the Jane 22-25event, organizers said.Though small ,portable (手提的) Internet computers with built-in mobile phones are already on the market ,they have had limited success. Internet-telephone technology(IT) must be made easier to use ,and must be used no matter what kind of phone one has ,Lisoe said .This will be aided largely by a planned mobile phone operating system called Symbian ,he added.Increased access（路径） to communication satellites and mobile phone networks, along with faster and larger international cable systems, are likely to make wireless Internet access explode in the next few years, said some scientist who attended the conference .56Which of the following is true to the conference?AThe conference lasted four days ,paying close attention to the use of IT.BOnly executives and managers attended the conference held in Singapore.CMany latest internet-telephones were on show at the conferenceDCommunic Asia 99 is the largest international conference in Asia.57The internet computer with built-in mobile phones do not sell well probably because they . Aare too big to carry when one is traveling Bare difficult to use and have to be fixed to particular phonesCare not as common as watchesDcant do the work of a common telephone58When Subra Venkat says “switching between your stock prices and television programs”, hereally means the new devices will .Asoon appear on the market and become easy to useBbe much easier to turn on or turn offChelp the user to have more programs to chooseDbring in much money as well as happiness59The new devices will depend most on .Amobile phones of a special kindBmobile phones networksCinternet-telephone technology Dbatter international cable systemsB Every pet owner loves his pet .There is no argument here. But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals , the responses were split almost down the middle . Of the 228 readers who answered it ,108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion .Clearly, from readers response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual (最终的)sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to peoples widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure (步骤)ycyMost of the readers who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope that clone could truly recreate a pet; many simply did not wish to go against the natural law of life and death.Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More of them owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend” or “a member of the family”. They told moving stories of pets heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion. Little wonders the loss is so disturbing-and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death awayIts understandable. Death is always painful. Its difficult to deal with. Its hard to accept.” But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seems to be at the heart of this problem. 60So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, .Aa lot more of them are for itBa lot more of them are against itCvery few of them are willing to tell their opinionsDabout half of them are for it and the other half against it61The expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet.” (in paragraph 3) refers to .Athe death of ones pet ycyBthe final ownership of a petCthe troubles one has to deal with in keeping a petDthe dangers involved in the cloning of a pet62In spite of their differences on the problem of cloning, it seems that .Aall pet owners love their pets very muchBall pet owners try to go against the natural law of life and deathCpeople who support cloning love their pets more Dpeople who dislike cloning love their pets more63From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he .Ahas never thought about the problem of cloningBthinks it hard to accept the idea of cloning petsCis in favor of the idea of cloning petsDis all against the cloning of petsC Winters short days are more than cold. For many people, winter depression, the most common type of Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD), is as much a part of the reason as hats and scarves(围巾).Winter serious SAD sufferers may need medical treatment. Those feeling a little blue can help themselves by sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips:Pace yourself. Dont expect to do everything you normally can. Set a realistic schedule. Dont listen to negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail.Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like youve achieved something. For example, play table tennis or badminton.If you are feeling depressed, you may feel like staying away from friends. Yet this is a time when friends support can be helpful. Call them regularly. Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship.Think clearly about whats wrong or right. Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at your problems objectively. Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on.Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression.Eat well. Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain(keep) a healthy body and mind. The vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients found in a balanced diet may help our bodies to produce feel-good hormones(荷尔蒙). Foods containing chemicals to help produce feel-good hormones include bananas, turkey, nuts and seeds. Eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day.P.S. Symptoms(症状) of SAD:No interests or pleasure in things you used to enjoyIncreased need for sleepA change in eating habits, especially an appetite for sweet or starchy(含淀粉的) foods Weight gainA heavy feeling in the arms or legsA drop in energy level Difficulty in concentrating Overly emotional Avoidance of friends and social situationsFrequent feelings of guiltLong-term feelings of hopelessness, and physical problems, such as headaches64The writer of the passage agrees that _.Athe cold in winter makes us suffer from SADBhats and scarves are as important as SADCeveryone of us meets SAD in winterDwe are blue mainly because of short days in winter65We may infer that _ according to the passage.Aa more darkness will make us sad Bwe should wear hats and scarves in winter Ca healthy lifestyle prevents us from serious SADDstaying away from friends makes us depressed66When we pace ourselves, we _ .Adont do anything we can Bmake a practical planCexpect to succeed in nothingDthink something of guilt67The passage includes the following except _ .Athe earlier we meet friends, the easier it is to rebuild a friendshipBif we give up to unclear feelings of sadness, well be caught in the SADCplaying table tennis helps us achieve whatever we wantDfeel-good hormones from a balanced diet can help keep a healthy bodyDDeep into the night, the bus pulled in to a Howard Johnsons restaurant and everybody got off the bus except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him , trying to imagine his life. One of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. After a long time, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the last four years, and now he was going home.“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife. I said, Martha, I understand if you can not stay married to me. I said I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldnt stand it , if the kids kept asking questions, if it hurt her too much, well, she could just forget me . Get a new young manshes wonderful womanand forget all about me. I told her she didnt have to write to me, and she didnt. Not for the three and a half years.”“Last week, when I was sure freedom was coming through, I wrote to her. I told her that if she had a new young man, I would understand. But if she didnt, if she would take me back, she should let me know. We used to live in the town, Brunswick, and theres a great big oak tree just as you come into the town. I told her if she would take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and if she didnt want me, forgot me, no handkerchief and Id keep going on through.”Soon all the others were in it. When they were 20 miles from Brunswick, the young man took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-cons mask. Then it was 10 miles, and then 5, and the bus became very quiet.Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances. All except Vingo.68In the story, the yellow handkerchief probably means .AhappinessBsadnessCI hate youDI still love you69Vingo stopped “ looking, tightening his face into the ex-cons mask, ” because .Ahe was excited to think of his wifeBhe was ashamed for what he had doneChe was afraid to see the handkerchief and his wifeDhe was afraid that he might not see the yellow handkerchief on the oak tree70The bus became quiet when it came near the town because all the passengers .Agot tired after a long journey Bgot too sad to say anythingCgrew excited and anxious to see the oak treeDwere attracted by the story71What would be the best title for the passage?AGoing Home.BA Handkerchief and an Oak TreeCA Long Bus JourneyDA Story of an Oak TreeEGARDEN RESTAURANTTelephone: 2706630Address: 9020 Bridgeport RoadOpen: Mon. to Fri. 7:00a.m. 2:30p.m.and 5:00 p.m. -9:00p.m. Sat. 7:00a.m. -11:00a.m. and 5:00p.m.-9:30p.m. Sun. 11:00a.m. - 2:00p.m. and 5:00p.m.-9:30p.m.NEW YORK MUSEUMTelephone: 364431Address: Vanier Park, 1100 Chestnut St. New York Americas largest museum specializing in American history and part of our native people.Open: Mon. to Fri. 9:00a.m.-5:00p.m. (Monday free) Sat. 9:00a.m.-1:00p.m.LANSDOWNE PARK SHOPPING CENTERTELEPHONE: 3562367Address: 5300 No.3 RoadOpen: Mon.
