Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Keep cool, says George Herbert, for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. Anger, says Pythagoras, brings with folly(愚蠢)and ends with regret. You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is mans last greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.56. What does the reader learn from the first paragraph?A. The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.B. Ones moral freedom is based on the control of himself.C. To control oneself is the most difficult in ones life.D. If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful. 57. If a man lacks self-control, he lacks all of the following EXCEPT _.A. the very backbone and nerve of characterB. the patience and power to control himselfC. strong feelingsD. self-confidence 58. The authors main purpose in writing this article is to _.A. explain that self-control is the key to successB. teach people how to control everything in order to make a great successC. distinguish all kinds of self-control and suggest ways for keeping itD. advise people not to lose temper so as to make and keep more friends 59. The passage is mainly developed by _.A. analyzing causes B. making parisonsC. examining differences D. listing quotations(引证) B Why does a large education nation like China have so few world renowned scientists as the US? Educationists from China and the US try to find out the answer to questions like this at a forum on the basic education strategy. The forum, held recently, was jointly organized by the Education Development Research Center of the Ministry of Education in China and the Postgraduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in the US. It aims to find out similarities and differences that exist between two countries in their educational system. While some educationists in China keep a doubtful eye to the countrys educational system in recent years. Their American counterparts give a positive answer to the basic education in China, saying that it is still one of the best in the world. An American educationist told reporters that the basic education in the US was criticized in recent years due to its political tendency. On the contrary, Chinese governments stress on basic education and qualified teachers has set a good example. At primary and middle school, pupils in China did better in math and science lessons than the US pupils. However, few grow to be world “masters”. Why? Educationists attributed this to Chinas stress on examination rather than students interest. Deputy Director of the postgraduate school of Pennsylvania University said American teachers encouraged students to focus on their strong points. In China, students are driven to study to pass the entrance examination test and they do not pay much attention to their own interest. At the forum, director of the Education Development Research Center Mr. Zhang said in the future, the research center would make its middle and long-term basic education strategy by taking some references from other countries including the US.He also revealed that for a long time in the future, China would make a breakthrough in setting the policy for quality education.60. This passage is mainly about _. A. quality education development in the future B. why Chinas education cultivates(培养) few world masters C. Chinas good basic education D. genius education at the primary stage 61. The underlined word “renowned” in the first paragraph probably means _ A. famous B. active C. qualified D. experienced 62. Few pupils in China who did better in math and science lessons than the US pupils grow to be world “masters”, because _ A. The US government spends more money on basic education B. American pupils are cleverer than Chinese pupils C. basic education in China is not as successful as that of the US D. Chinese people pay less attention to students interest 63. Chinas educational system will _ in the future. A. help students to study even harder to pass the examination B. apply more attention to quality education referring to systems of other countries C. allow students to pay more attention to their own interest without their test results D. copy the educational system in the US CRecently there was a major discovery in the scientific research the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因) is plete. Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to acplish. All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away. Human cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality(道德) or religion. Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning. If the clone was free of genetic limitations, then the other clone would be as well. The latter could be inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term. Moreover, cloning would enable women, who cant get pregnant, to have children of their own. Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs. This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single (or more) organ(s). It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists. Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side. Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal “cycle” of life. There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, development the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment. Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance. Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear, thus leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes, and chances are that those individuals would be regarded as “objects” rather than people in the society.Scientists havent 100% guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal. Thus, this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human “gene-pool”. Regarding such arguable topics in “black or white” approach seems very innocent to me personally. We should rather try to look at all “shades” of it. I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans. Then we could regard this as for “saving life” instead of “creating life”. I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.64.Which of the following is true according to the passage？ A. Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women B. A large number of genes will prevent us from developing C. Prohibition(禁止) of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists D. First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists65.Whats the authors opinion on cloning? A. Cloning should be entirely banned B. Cloning should be used in creating life C. Cloning will take away the right to reproduce D. Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs66.Which of the following shows the structure of the passageDWhy can some people sleep through noises like a honking car or flushing toilet, while others are awakened by the lightest sound?To find the answer, sleep researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted an unusual study of 12 self-described deep sleepers. After tests confirmed that the healthy volunteers were solid sleepers, they took part in a three-night study in the universitys sleep laboratory. The participants spent the night in a big and fortable room. But the room also included four speakers positioned near the top of the bed.During the night, the deep sleepers were subjected to 14 different recorded sounds, like street traffic, toilets flushing, an ice machine dispensing and an airplane flying overhead. Next door, the researchers monitored their sleep patterns and brain waves.As expected, all of the participants slept relatively well, but there were differences in how they responded to the noisy interruptions. Some of the sleepers didnt wake up even when a sound was blasted at 70 decibels (分贝); others were awakened by sounds at 40 or 50 decibels.The researchers discovered that the difference in a sleepers reaction to noise could be predicted by the level of brain activity called “sleep spindles. A sleep spindle is a burst of high-frequency brain activity ing from deep inside the brain during sleep. The source of the spindles is the thalamus, a part of the brain that sends sensory information to the rest of the cortex (皮层).Before the study, the Massachusetts researchers theorized (推理) that the spindles are the brains way of preventing sensory information from passing through the thalamus and waking the rest of the brain during sleep. They found that the sleepers who experienced the most sleep spindles during the night were also the soundest sleepers and were least likely to be awakened by noise.Scientists already know that most people bee lighter sleepers with age, most likely because older people experience less “slow wave sleep, which is the deepest stage of sleep. People also produce fewer sleep spindles as they age. But even when controlling for the stage of sleep a person was in, the number of sleep spindles sti
