We were in a car, and it was 2:00 in the morning. We came across a car 37 .As is known to all, it is 38 in some places in Colombia to stop and help strangers because it can be risky (危险的)；you can be 39 . Actually, I have heard of so many 40 in which people have been robbed just because they stopped and tried to help people who 41 to need help from the passers-by. 42 , we didnt know whether to stop or not ; but in the end , 43 , we decided to do it. They had really had a car accident and some of them were 44 . We took them to the hospital. They were really 45 , and we also felt very good about helping them. I remember the next day when we 46 my grandfathers and uncles about that, they said we shouldnt have 47 because it was too dangerous. They thought we were 48 because we were able to tell the 49 and still take a vacation on the farm. They 50 us never to do that again. I think it was risky, but it was worth taking the 51 . Otherwise, we would always have 52 if it was real. Also, if we hadnt helped them, who knows what would have 53 to them. I believe that one of the reasons why we made up our mind 54 to stop was the fact that we were four people in the car. Maybe if I had been by myself 55 , I wouldnt have stopped.36.

About 70% of smokers say they would like to stop. Drug and alcohol abusers (滥用者) struggle to give up the bad habits that hurt their bodies and destroy families and friendships. And many of us have unhealthy weight that we could lose if only we would eat right and exercise more. So why dont we do it?Some scientists have been searching for answers. Theyve studied what happens in our brains as habits form. Theyve found answers to why bad habits, once formed, are so difficult to kick. And theyre developing ways to help us make the changes wed like to make.Habits are a normal part of life, and are often helpful. “ We wake up everymorning, shower, comb our hair or brush our teeth without being aware of it,” Volkow says. We can drive along familiar routes without really thinking about the directions. “When behaviors become automatic(不加思索的), it gives us an advantage, because the brain does not have to perform the action on purpose.” Volkow says. This frees up our brains to focus on different things.One way to kick bad habits is to focus on your unhealthy habits. Then try your best to stop them. For example, habits can be linked in our minds to certain places and activities. You could develop a plan, say, to avoid walking down the hall where theres a candy machine. Try to avoid going places where youve usually smoked. Stay away from friends and situations linked to problem drinking or drug use.Another helpful way is to replace unhealthy habits with new, healthy ones. “It doesnt work for everyone,” Volkow says. “But certain groups of patients who have a history of taking a drug can do something else like running and it helps them stay away from drugs.”56. In the first paragragh the writer mainly wants to tell us _. A. we should stop something bad for us B. most smokers would like to stop smoking C. bad habits are really difficult to give up D. eating right and exercise more can lose weight57. Scientists studied what happened in our brains as habits form in order to_. A. find answers to solve the problem B. find ways to form good habits C. kick their own bad habits D. help us see how bad habits form58. If you want to kick bad habits youd better_. A. focus on them on purpose B. go to the places linked with them C. do something linked with them D. ask your friends for help59. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Breaking bad habits. B. Forming good habits. C. Finding reasons for bad habits D. Replacing bad habits with good ones.B Earth Day has come and gone, but its a fact of daily life that 1.6 billion people around would have no electricity in their homes. Instead, most of them use wood, coal or even animal waste to heat and cook in their homes ,which also gives off greenhouse gases, causing indoor air pollution that kills 1.6million people a year, most of whom are children and women. Its not expected to improve much, and in Africa its becoming worse now. By 2030, when the Earths population will be likely to top 8billion, 1.3 billion people will still lack electricity. Of those, 700 million will be in Africa, and 490 million in South Asia. Ghana, in West Africa, most of the northern half of the country lives without lights. As a result, three out of four Ghanans in the north are without electricity to refrigerate with and to cook with, to study with and to start businesses with. Like most others around the world in the same situation, these Ghanans use traditional fuels( wood, coal, animal waste) to meet their cooking needs. What would electricity for everyone around the world cost? The International Energy Agency, which is made up of 28 member countries, figures it would run35 billion dollars a year from 2008 to 2030 to reach that. The United Nations has been busy with the issue, organizing a meeting on April 28 hosted by Secretary-General Ban Kimoon. Energy services are very important formeeting basic human needs, reducing poverty, creating and getting together wealth and keeping advances in social development,” He said in an announcement.60.

Because they would rather heat and cook with traditional fuels than with electricity.B. Because of no electricity they have to use traditional fuels for heating and cooking.C.
