26、Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.

Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩) and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.

Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: “Our Study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”

The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don’t see一and guide whether we see fear.”

To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person’s feeling of fear.

“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.

“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”

【1】What is the finding of the study?

A.One’s heart affects how he feels fear.

B.Fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbeat.

C.Fear has something to do with one’s health.

D.One’s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.

【2】The study was carried out by analyzing .

A.volunteers’ heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures

B.the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions

C.volunteers’ reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans

D.different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart—brain communication

【3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?

A.Order. B.System.

C.Machine. D.Treatment.

【4】This study may contribute to   .

A.treating anxiety and stress better.

B.explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety

C.finding the key to the heart-brain communication

D.understanding different fears in our hearts and heads

27、   Mythology(神话) is rich with tales of dragons and the magical characteristics of their blood. It was supposed to be capable of curing certain diseases and was widely sought after.

A new study at George Mason University in Virginia suggests that the blood of the Komodo dragon, the largest living lizard on the planet, is loaded with chemicals that could be used as antibiotics(抗生素).

Komodo dragons, which are native to parts of Indonesia, attack large animals like water buffalo and deer with a bite to the throat. If their prey (猎物) does not fall immediately, the dragons rarely continue the fight. Instead, they back away and let the mix of mild poison and dozens of disease-causing bacteria found in their saliva(唾液) finish the job. They track their prey until it falls, victim to the poison and the bacteria, and then they can feast without a struggle. The strange thing is Komodo dragons are not affected by the bites of other dragons.

This fact interested the researchers who then examined the blood of Komodo dragons and discovered that it possessed qualities that are likely to have important medicinal uses. They recognized 48 elements that had previously been unknown to science and decided to test them in their laboratory. They exposed two types of disease-causing bacteria to eight of the most promising elements found in dragon blood. They found that the growth of both bacteria were strongly affected by seven of the dragon blood elements.

These results are important because antibiotic-proof bacteria are an increasing problem in hospitals. Such bacteria are thought to cause 700,000 deaths in hospitals each year around the world. It could be that the work of scientists with Komodo dragon blood could solve this increasingly common problem and their work may prove that dragon’s blood is just as magical as myths suggest.

【1】From Komodo dragons’ way of hunting prey, we can learn that ________.

A. Komodo dragons feast on their prey after a fierce fight

B. Komodo dragons in Indonesia tend to hunt big prey in groups

C. a bite to the throat is adequate to kill large beasts immediately

D. the poison and the bacteria in Komodo dragons’ saliva are deadly

【2】Scientists began to study Komodo dragons’ blood because ________.

A. the blood of Komodo dragons contains 48 elements

B. their poisonous saliva has killed many human beings

C. urgent research action has to be taken in search of antibiotic-proof bacteria

D. Komodo dragons are unaffected by the bacteria in the saliva of other dragons

【3】The research into the qualities of Komodo dragon’s blood found ________.

A. many hidden blood types B. many unknown blood elements

C. many unknown blood drugs D. two types of disease-causing bacteria

29、   Good relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life. We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive, it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key points in making relationships work.

It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship — knowing the right thing to say, when to say it, how to say it, and accepting that some things are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work, from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friend that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.

Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him all the time. You and your friend come from different family backgrounds, raised in different environments so there may be disagreements here and there. However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to compromise (妥协) at times are necessary.

As the relationship lasts longer, you may also discover things about you and your friend that you may not have known before. Therefore, supporting each other on both your “hidden selves” can also make a good relationship.

Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me, I always believe that love needs open communication, respect, support and understanding each other in making relationships work.

【1】The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.

A. helpless B. surprising

C. funny D. upsetting

【2】To communicate well with people, you should know that__________.

A. supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationship

B. a white lie is necessary sometimes

C. compromises are essential at any time

D. your friends need to have the same backgrounds with you

【3】According to the text, which of the following are important for a good relationship?

a. communication b. support       c. love   d. hidden selves

A. a, b, d B. a, c, d

C. b, c, d D. a,b, c

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A. The Importance to Express Disagreements

B. Keys to Making Relationships Work

C. Different Opinions on Good Relationships

D. Forbidden Rules in Building Good Relationships

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.

The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.
