Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the childrens hospital for a little while because he became ill.

They had planned to get married two years after getting engaged. But shortly before they could hold each others hands into the marriage hall, Juliana, suffered from a brain injury in a tragic car accident. On the exact day they were supposed to get married, Chris shared a song he wrote for his fiance with heartfelt lyrics.Julianas idol is Oprah Winfrey and Idol judge Steven could see that she remains a fan of Chris music, accompanying him to the audition. Chris received a ticket to Hollywood, which Juliana proudly waved. While he is heading to Hollywood to pursue his dream of singing, Chris continues to take care of Juliana, alongside her mother.Chris love story touched more than the Americans. It reached Irish rockers The Script, who spoke highly of the young man and his songs at the audition. “Chris Medina: not only are you a major talent, but you are one in a billion!

Its strange skin is shaped by its habitat. It lives 800 meters below the oceans surface, a depth where very few other creatures can survive. Most fishes have a swim bladder(鱼鳔), which is filled with gas and helps them stay afloat. At the depth that the blobfish live, water pressure is 80 times higher than that at higher sea levels and any swim bladder wouldnt be able to serve its purpose. The blobfish dont have a swim bladder because their skin works the same way. It helps them stay afloat without having to use any energy. The blobfish have a pretty relaxed attitude towards eating. All they do is stay and wait for crabs or lobsters to come by. Since the blobfish like to eat crabs and lobsters, they often get caught in nets that are used to catch lobsters or crabs and end up dying or being killed. They are not suitable for eating so they are useless for fishermen. Theres a purpose behind the blobfishs new title; it has become the new mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, an organization whose purpose is to preserve endangered ugly animals. “Weve needed an ugly face for endangered ugly animals for a long time and Ive been amazed by the public reaction,” said the Societys Simon Watt. “For too long cute animals have taken the limelight but now the blobfish will be a voice for those who always get forgotten.”They hope this new face will help the world know that we need to help preserve the populations of ugly animals too.28. The biggest difference between the blobfish and most other fishes is that the blobfish_ .A. cannot be eaten by people B. dont have a swim bladderC. only live at high sea levels D. arent active in catching food 29. What makes the blobfish stay afloat?A. Their skin. B. Their tail. C. Their mouth. D. Their swim bladder.30. We can learn from the underlined sentence that _ .A. most ugly animals are in danger B. the population of the blobfish is increasingC. the blobfish have attracted the publics attention D. people knew nothing about the blobfish in the past31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To discuss the importance of preserving animals.B. To give the reason for starting an organization.C. To present the results of a survey. D. To introduce a special animal.DResearchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress related disorders.Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fight-or-flight” reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”)However, the UCLA research team has found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend.” That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”), and by looking for social contact and support from othersespecially other females (“befriend”)Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr.Shelley ETaylor, explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.” While men also secrete(分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior.The tend-and-befriend regulatory(调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.32. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress，men are more likely than women to _.Aturn to friends for help Bsolve a conflict calmlyCfind an escape from reality Dseek comfort from children33. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?AMen have the same level of oxytocin as women do.BOxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.CBoth animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.DOxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.34. What can be learned from the passage?AMale hormones help build up the bodys resistance to stress.BIn a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.CBiological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.DThe UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?AHow men and women get over stressBHow men and women suffer from stressCHow researchers overcome stress problemsDHow researchers handle stress related disorders第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Avoid Internet Addiction36Many people suffer from addiction to the Internet and have a hard time paying attention to the important things around them.
