support of his family and school, zhang arrived at the hospital in beijing the very next day. “saving a life is more important than taking an exam, and having the chance to help cure a patient does not allow for more thought,” zhang said. the transplant operation (移植手术) was a success. after that, zhang wenchi was in good health and he came back to school soon. zhang said then the most important task for him was the exam. he hoped that his dream of becoming a pilot could come true.now the ncee has been over for more than a month, and what about zhang wenchis marks? to our great relief, its known that he has earned 540 points, which means he can be admitted into beihang university (formerly beijing university of aeronautics & astronautics). therefore he can realize his dream of flying in

i remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns playing various educational games on the computer. one day, i found the source code (密码) for one of these games. without knowing or being taught any programming language, i was able to figure out some portions of the basic code. anyone who knows a bit of programming can tell you that i just give myself an infinite (无穷大) number of lives in the game, so i can continue playing forever. this was also my first introduction to algebra (代数), and i didnt even know it at the time. this was a decisive (决定性的) moment in my life. for the first time that i can remember, i was quite happy because of what i was learning and what i was able to do. as a result, i became enthusiastic(热情的) for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and i was quite happy doing them, too.ive noticed that people who are truly content（满意的） with life are enthusiastic in what they do. this enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. it also leads to self-confidence and fulfillment in life, too. it may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.yes, success, wealth, or achievements seem to bring some people happiness, too. yet, i dont think they can indeed make people happy. i know plenty of people who are successful and wealthy. however, i also know several of the people with successful businesses are not happy with what they are doing. i know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, cars, computers, and televisions, yet they never seem content for too long. please remember that happiness comes from enthusiasm, and happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.25. what did the writers teacher ask the students to do on the computer? a. to play various educational games. b. to figure out the basic code. c. to get the knowledge of algebra. d. to read some latest news.26. the underlined word in paragraph 1 probably can be replaced by _. a. danger b. parts c. health d. value27. according to the author, what can lead a person to be happy?a. success and wealth. b. education and self-confidence.c. knowledge and achievements. d. enthusiasm and good health.28. the author uses his own experience of being happy in order to tell us _. a. its very easy to learn the basic code b. he has always been happy since his childhoodc. concentrating on what you love makes you happyd. one can solve any problem in life by himself c researchers in the united states have developed the first wirelessly controlled device that can supply a drug directly into the body. a small chip is implanted (植入) under the skin. it contains the medicine, which it releases at preset(提前设定的)times. the developers say the device could improve the lives of millions of people who take medicine for long-term illnesses. a company called microchips began developing the device about fifteen years ago. last month, the company released the results of its first successful tests in humans. the tests took place in denmark with seven women with osteoporosis（骨质疏松症）.osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and break easily. the disorder is common among older people especially women. many patients have to give themselves daily injection（注射）of medicine. one type of treatment requires injections for two years. the patients stop taking the medicine because of the pain and stress of the injections. as a result, only twenty-five percent of the patients will go through the entire twenty-four months of treatment.the microchip is a few centimeters long. it has small sections(部分) and each section holds a single dose（单次剂量）of medicine. the device has to be programmed with the times to release the drug. doctors will be able to reprogram the device from a computer or even a cell phone.for osteoporosis, the physician will program the device, and the device has the ability to release a dose at a given time, every single day. for other diseases, where the physician may want to change the dosing schedule, they will have the ability to wirelessly reprogram that dosing schedule.the seven women in the study were ages of sixty-five to seventy. the researchers say the implants were just as effective as daily injections. and they say the medicine amounts were more exact than patients often give themselves.29. the best title for the passage should be _.a. a new company called microchipsb. a new way to take medicine every dayc. good news for women with osteoporosisd. taking medicine, with microchip under skin30. what does the underlined word “released” in paragraph 1 mean?aannounced.b. planned.c.

quarter of the patients will go through the entire two years of treatmentd. pain and stress of the injections lead all patients to stop taking medicine32. in which column of a newspaper could we find this passage? a. arts. b. jobs. c. sports. d. medicine. dbritains oldest man made his first visit to london yesterday at the age of 101. mr john evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in south
