Dan，guess who they have chosen to play Harry PotterI said the name of another actor，because I totally did not think in a million years that they would pick meSomeone else？ he saidWhen he said that，I suppose I did have a tiny bit of hope that I might have got it，but I didnt want to count my chickensAnd then he said， Dan，its you I actually cried with joyIt was the biggest shock of my life” Playing Harry Potter is obviously a huge，lucrative，golden opportunity for DanielHe has made one film ，The Chamber of Secrets，and is being considered for the next five filmsThis means he could be playing Harry Potter until hes almost twentyHe will earn a large amount of money from the filmsExactly how much is a secret that he and his parents will keep to them selves，but it could be about one million pounds for each movieThats a lot of money for a 12-year-old”I think Ill saveit，”says Daniel matter-of-factly”I dont know how much Im getting，and I dont want to know because I dont think thats importantIts not about the money，its about having fun and meeting people.” This is perhaps why Daniel has done so well in the actingRobbie Coltrane，who worked along side the boy playing Hagrid the giant, says of him, “Daniels a very good actorAnd I think thats the key to it，because if he decides to pursue（追求）it he will do very wellHe has a grown-up attitude in a way，and a throw-away attitude at the same timeIn fact，its exactly the same kind of attitude that gets us all through it” 48.

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It cant be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things. At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years. This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents. Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth. 52. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in _. A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detection C. radiation level D. nuclear radiation53. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level _. A. when it kills few cells B. if it damages few cells C. though the damaged cells can repair themselves D. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves54. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _. A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately B. damage cells which may grow into cancer years later C. affect the healthy growth of our younger generation D. lead to all of the above results55. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage? A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (过分强调). B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved. C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation. D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger. 四任务型阅读It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why cant they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isnt a cure for each one.When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you cant breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms (症状) of colds.There is one interesting thing to note some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesnt have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:It takes about one week to get over a cold if you dont take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.TitleHow Much You Know About the Common ColdIntroductionPeople catch a cold 76. in spring or fall.All 77. of cold viruses exist everywhere.It is hard to find a cure for each cold.The symptoms of thecommon coldThe bodys blood as well as its temperature 78. , causing a fever.You will find that you have some difficulty 79. .Yo
