be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. this helps us to adjust to the outside world. without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldnt know whats happening. but we pay for our sensitivity. we can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. the history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain. but there is a way to handle pain. look at the indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. this ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. the big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude towards it. often the dentist says, this will hurt a little, it helps us to accept the pain. by staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. after all, although pain is unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.1. what does the writer mean by saying we pay for our sensitivity in the first paragraph?a. we have to take care of our sense of pain. b. we suffer from our sense of feeling. c. we should try hard to resist pain. d. we are hurt when we feel pain.2. when the author mentions indian fakir, he shows that _.a. people can learn to cope with pain b. indians are not afraid of painc. some people are born without a sense of pain d. fakirs possess magic power3. what is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer?a. their nerves. b. their interest. c. their attitude d. their relaxation.4. the author believes that _.a. pain should be avoided at all costs b. magic power is essential for reducing painc. feeling pain can be an interesting thing d. feeling pain is part of our life b recently i paid a visit to harvard university, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world. i was pretty shocked when i first stepped onto the campus. well, its not even really a campus. its more like a district in a small town. harvards main buildings are from the 18thcentury. they look very old and simple. you might even say theyre a little shabby. they dont fit the modern idea of university at all. the buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so i felt as if i had walked into a medieval castle. but when i looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like i was in the 21stcentury again. it creates a strong contrast(对照) and brings a special atmosphere to the school. our tour guide gary took us around and told us, “you see this grass field in the center of the school? here is where they host their graduation ceremony. they just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. unbelievable! who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn?” i saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. when i listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with the chirping(鸟叫声) of the birds, i felt very calm. there was no competitive feeling at all. harvard has the worlds first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. it is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. it makes harvard a very attractive place to study in. i hope one day ill attend my dream school-harvard.5. the article is mainly about _. a. harvards old buildings b. the academic system

traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested. any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. the driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of hk25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving. the same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse. drink driving is a criminal offence. be a responsible driver, think before you drink. for the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.9. the first paragraph is mainly about_.a. the introduction of driving skills b. the damage of drinking to your bodyc. the effect of drinking on driving
