A“Mind over matter” is an English saying meaning that we can control our bodies with our minds. Now scientists are finding increasing evidence that our mind can have a great effect on our physical health. Since our mind influences how we feel, its not true to say if someone is ill just because he feels ill.The influence of the mind on how well we feel is the basis of what is known as the placebo effect. A placebo (which is Latin for “I shall please”) is a harmless, inactivesubstance(物质). Patients are sometimes given placebo pills and begin to feel betterbecause they believe that they have been given real drugs and expect to respond to them. The placebo effect is very strong: research on pain suggests that up to 30% of the effect of most painkillers is a placebo effect.So if it is so powerful, why dont doctors use it today?According to Dr Persaud, they really do. “All these things like seeing a doctor, going to a hospital, and being scanned(扫描) have a very strong placebo effect,” hesays.21. According to the first paragraph, if you feel ill, .A. you dont need to see a doctorB. it doesnt necessarily mean that youre physically illC. you are in good conditionD. it is obvious that you suffer from a serious disease22. The English saying “mind over matter” means that .A. a sound mind is less important than a good healthB. our mind has a strong effect on our bodyC. our physical health has nothing to do with our mindD. mental health mainly depends on our physical health23. The placebo effect is based on .A. the constant use of some special drugsB. the influence of our minds on our bodiesC. a harmless, inactive substanceD. a response of the body to drugsBOne day, when I was working as a psychologist in England , an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him tome. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and Im very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didnt say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesdayafternoon in complete silence and without looking at me. Its not easy to cheat inchess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“Its your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one without anywords can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, afriendly touch, and an ear that listens.24. When he first met the author, David .A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher25. As a psychologist, the author .A. was sure of handling Davids problemB. was skeptical about psychologyC. was able to describe Davids problemD. was ready to listen toDavid26. David enjoyed being with the author because he .A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. beat the author many times in the chess gameC. liked the childrens drawings in the officeD. needed to share sorrow with the author27. What can be inferred about David? A. He recovered after months of treatment. B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk. D. He got friends in school before he met the author.CWhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain theirloneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest syndrome”.In order to find better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The factthat most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what the actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.28. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by .A. their earlier experience of living aloneB. the poor living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry that they have not saved much moneyD. the distance between where parents live and where their children live29.Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to .A. realize their dreams in foreign countriesB. seek a better place for their aged parentsC. live in the countries with more moneyD. continue their studies abroad30. If young people go abroad, .A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right31.From the last paragraph, we can infer that .A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB.“Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome” DIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some hold an optimistic attitude. They value it highly, believing that it is a natural outcome ofsocial progress and prosperity（繁荣）and that anyone who wants to be outstanding hasto keep the pace. Others think otherwise. They say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that the unfriendly relationship between people because of competition.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth depended on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well andwinning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-mindedpursuit（追求）ofsuccess, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others have an opposite opinion. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. They have no choice. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try”. What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that ifthey had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs compared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear is overcome canwe discover a new meaning in competition.32. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people. C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.33. Why are some people in favor of competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.34. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success35. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。You are the only one who can decide you are truly pretty.
