Many of us cannot stand pain. To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the needlea shot of novocainethat deadens the nerves around the tooth.Now its true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nervesand our brain, which is a bundle of nerves- we wouldnt know whats happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, this will hurt a little, it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.1. The passage is mainly about _.2. The sentence “But we pay for our sensitivity” in the second paragraph implies that _.3. When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he suggests that _.4.

These materials are said _good conductors.问题1选项A.to beB.areC.having beenD.being【答案】A【解析】考查动词用法。said后接不定式，said to be“被认为”。句意：有些材料导热比其他材料好，这些材料被叫作热的良导体。所以选A。15. 单选题The father cant even discipline himself, _ a good example to his children.问题1选项A.much more to setB.much less settingC.much less to setD.still more setting【答案】B【解析】考查固定搭配。A选项much more“更加；多得多”，后面接形容词；B选项much less doing“更不用说”，后面可跟名词、代词和从句；C选项much less to do非固定搭配；D选项still more“更加”。句意：这位父亲甚至不能约束自己，_给他的孩子做个好榜样了。根据语境，这里指不能约束自己，就更加不能做个好榜样了，B选项much less doing“更不用说”符合题意。因此B选项正确。16. 单选题Birds that are literally half-asleepwith one brain hemisphere alert and the other sleepcontrol which side of the brain remains awake. According to a new study of seeping ducks.Earlier studies have documented half-brain seep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the seeping hemisphere keeps shut. While the wakeful hemispheres eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once. Decades of studies of bird flocks led researchers to predict extra alertness in the more vulnerable end-of-the-row sleepers. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.Also, birds dozing at the end of the line resorted to single-hemisphere sleep rather than total relaxation. More often than inner ducks did. Rotating 16 birds through the positions in a four duck row, the researchers found outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of dozing time versus about 12 percent for birds in internal spots.“We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness simultaneously in different regions of the brain.” the researchers say. The results provide the best evidence for a long standing supposition that single hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. Hes seen it in a pair of birds doing side-by-side in the 200 and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open. Useful as half- seeping might be, its only been found in birds and such water mammals as dolphins. Whales and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a seeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning. Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg”. He speculates that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.1.

After a few weeks, many Englishwomen felt that the behaviors of the Greek make seemed like a come on that make them feel uncomfortable! At the same time many Englishmen felt that the Greek female is too forward in showing that she is sexually available!In fact nothing of the sort was happening and the whole misunderstanding was caused by the different “intimacy zones” between people of different cultures. As all animal beings, human beings also have a defined space around their bodies, which they consider as vital and they protect as if it were their private property. This space is called “intimacy zones” and only people who are emotionally close to the person are allowed to enter this zone. That includes parents, husbands and wives, children, relatives, lovers and close friends.Greeks have an “intimacy zones” of 25cm and sometimes even less, wh
