three girls boarded a bus to lauderdale, florida, dreaming of golden beaches. when the bus passed through new jersey, they began to notice vingo, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit.deep into the night, the bus pulled into howard johnson restaurant, and everybody got off except vingo. he sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home.shortly after a snack, they went back to the bus and one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.after a while, slowly and painfully, he told his story. he had been in prison in new york for the past four years. last week he was released from imprisonment and now going home.“when in prison i wrote to my wife,”he said.“i told her that i was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldnt stand it, she could just forget me; id understand. we used to live in brunswick, and theres a big oak tree just as you come into town. last week, i wrote her again. i told her that if shed take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and id get off and come home. if she didnt want me, forget it and id go on through.”she told the others, and soon all of them were in it, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and crying, doing small dances of joy. the oak tree was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like small flags of welcome flying in the wind. as the young people shouted, vingo rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.56. what attracted the six young people when their bus passed through new jersey?a. the howard johnson restaurant.b. a silent man.c. golden beaches. d. a well-dressed man57. the young people on the bus try to imagine vingo may be a person except_.a. a sea captain b. an old soldier going homec. an old

for the passage?a. going homeb. vingo and his wifec. yellow handkerchiefsd. the relationship between vingo and the young people bparents might tell older children to “act your age”. but some researchers say that is what persons from thirteen to nineteen years old are doing. while teenagers can look all grown up, studies have shown that their brains are still developing. how much this explains their behavior, though, is a subject of debate.jay giedd of americas national institutes of health is a leader in this area of research. doctor giedd has been studying a group of young people since 1991. they visit him every two years for imaging tests of their brains. he says considerable development continues in young people from the teenage years into the twenties.a part of the brain called the dorsal-lateral prefrontal cortex appears especially undeveloped in teenagers. researchers believe that this area controls judgment and consideration of risk. so, its underdevelopment may explain why young people seem more willing to take risks like driving too fast.laurence steinberg is a psychology professor at temple university in philadelphia. he says stronger laws and stronger parental control are needed to protect teens from themselves. that includes raising the age for driving. he says research shows that teenage brains are not fully equipped to control behavior.other researchers, however, say there is not enough evidence to make a strong case for such findings. psychologist robert epstein is a visiting scholar at the university of california in san diego. mr. epstein notes that teen behavior differs from culture to culture. he says behavior depends for the most part on socialization. he believes that teenagers will demonstrate(表明) better, safer behavior if they spend more time with adults, and are treated more like them.but is that always true? mike males works at the center on juvenile and criminal justice in san francisco. he suggests that all of this talk lately about brainless teens could be an attempt to take away attention from the reality. writing in the new york times, he says it is middle-aged adults whose behavior has worsened. in his words, if grown-ups really have superior brains, why dont we act as if we do?61. if your parents ask you to act your age, they really mean to advise that you _. a. behave yourself b. take care of yourself c. make yourself at home d. do everything on your own62. why do young people seem more willing to take adventures? a. because they can all look grown up in that way. b. because their dorsal-lateral prefrontal cortex appears undeveloped. c. because some researchers have been studying and encouraging them. d. because stronger laws and stronger parental control protect them63. which of the following is true about teenagers? a. their brains have almost stopped developing. b. their cultures have influenced their behavior more or less. c. the behavior of brainless teens has drawn a lot more attention. d. staying more often with adults makes things even worse. 64. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that mike males _. a. agrees with what robert epstein says b. keeps silent about the subject of debate c. is a leader in this area of research d. has the opinion of his own65. the passage is written mainly to tell people that _. a. development continues in young people from the teens into the twenties b. teenagers behavior differs from culture to culture c. there is still a debate between researchers about peoples behaviors d. the talk about brainless teens could take away attention from governments cquickly ask yourself: what did you eat today? now tell me how you actually feel. if youre complaining of stress, anxiety, depression, aches and pains, foggy thinking, or just a general lack of energy, a new medical theory will blow your mind. the chances are that those disease-like symptoms are all the result of whats called hidden food allergies(过敏反应).this is what ken drew found out when he was lucky enough to be recommended to medical practitioner dr. patel. patel is considered something of a genius, and has been called a modern day louis pasteur. youve heard of him, of coursepasteur figured out how to keep milk from getting spoiled. dr. patel is like a louis pasteur for keeping your body from getting spoiled from chronic(慢性的) diseases.“foggy thinking, slightly constipated(便秘的), heart pain,you name it. its part of getting old,” you say. “its just stress.” most of the bodys immune defenses are all located in your stomach, so when you have a hidden food allergy and you expose yourself to harmful foods, your defenses malfunction(故障) and disease-carrying bacteria take over. had you not eaten that one food you were allergic to for breakfast, you would never have got sick.together, dr patel and ken drew have developed the reverse my disease program, which claims it can bulletproof your body against diseases like arthritis(关节炎), alzheimers, diabetes, heart disease and cancers. you wont need a prescription and there isnt any kind of medical procedure involved. theres no medical jargon, no complicated diet to do. what it does do is claim to tell you how to hack your bodys natural defense system.dr. patel has remained under the radar of the entire medical establishment because his ideas are so threatening to doctors who dont want you to stop being sick enough for them to write you prescriptions. those doctor visits cost you, so check outreverse my disease if you want to prevent disease by learning how to eat food that wont harm your body.66. we can learn from the passage that louis pasteur _. a. made great contributions to keeping human body from getting spoiled from chronic diseases.b. has developed the reverse my disease program with dr. patel.c. recommended ken drew to dr. patel.d. might be a gre
