Adam is a MBA student at Harvard University. He studies long hours, gets very little sleep and as a result, he drinks a lot of coffee - anywhere from five to six cups a day. Recently, Adam felt that drinking thus much coffee was making it hard for him to sleep at all. He also began having problems with his concentration (注意力)，and complained of stomachaches. Adams doctor made this suggestion: stop drinking coffee altogether. When Adam got up on October 3, he began his day without his morning coffee. By 11:00 a.m., Adam was in a terrible mood (情绪). He was tired and had a headache. At 11:30, he had a meeting with his student advisor. In the meeting, he found it almost impossible to continue. What was going on?Caffeine, a chemical found in coffee, was most likely the reason for how Adam felt. Caffeine is a stimulant that boosts (增加) energy levels and improves concentration - but only for a short time. Lowering caffeine consumption (减少摄取咖啡因) often causes a drop in blood pressure, and the result is a coffee headache. People who stop drinking coffee often say they feel tired and moody, and find it hard to focus. The good news is that these feelings usually pass after four to five days. During this time, doctors suggested taking some aspirin for the headache. So, if Adam can wait, in less than a week, he may be feeling much better. 61. We learn from the reading Adam _. A. does researches on caffeine B. had some problems because of coffee C. still drink 5 to 6 cups of coffee a day D. can never be feeling better 62. In fact, coffee can really help us _. A. to go to sleep very fastB. to work for long hoursC. not to get ill easilyD. not to depend on medicine63. People may feel _ when they stop drinking coffee. A. healthier B. uneasy C. energetic D. awaken64. What happened to Adam on Thursday October 3? A. He didnt go to his study. B. He complained about the student advisor. C. He didnt drink any coffee at all. D. He decided to stop drinking coffee. 65. The good news shows that _. A. Adam and more people will give up coffee. B. More and more people will give up coffee. C. Aspirin can stop us drinking coffee. D. Coffee can never cause headaches. CCan you speak to dolphins? Of course you can but you wont be able to understand them! We interviewed a biologist and asked her what research on dolphin communication has shown. This is what she told us. Just like dogs, cats and other mammals, dolphins communicate by using sound, vision (视觉), touch and taste. Each dolphin has its own signature whistle to identify itself and to call others. Dolphins dont have the ability to smell, but their hearing and eyesight are excellent. We also asked Jane if dolphins have got their own language. She told us that they have and that dolphins started talking to each other from birth. They make different sounds, including whistles, squeaks and click. Sometimes they even sound like a heavy metal band!We then asked Jane if any interesting experiments have been done. She told us that a very interesting experiment had been done with a mother dolphin and her two-year-old baby in an aquarium. They talked to each other over the telephone! The two dolphins were in separate tanks which were connected by a special under water system. Unfortunately the biologists couldnt understand what the dolphins were talking about because they havent been able to decode (转换) dolphin language yet. However, it was very clear that the dolphins knew what they were talking about. Finally we asked Jane if there was hope that we would be able to understand dolphins in the near future. She told us that she and her team have been listening to dolphins for more than 17 years, using special equipment to record and analyze their language. Unfortunately they havent been able to decode it yet, but who knows - maybe one day well get a phone call from a dolphin. 66. Its clear that _. A. we can speak to dolphins but not talk with B. dolphins have not got their own language C. researches on dolphins have just begun. D. only biologists know what dolphins talk about67.
