what did we, the students who were touched, not do right? i sat up straighter in my chair, thinking that my way of sitting might be the problem. i was confused. several days later, i watched again, this time raising my head a little higher. nothing changed. ms. hunter touched the same students. always, she touched me.i was not surprised that she came to my graduation ceremony at edison high school in stockton or that she talked to me about finishing college and earning a ph. d. she expected that of me. she gave me a beautifully wrapped box. inside was a gift, the beauty of which multiplies even as it touches me: a necklace to which i can add charms for each stage of my life.56. according to the writer, what is a special ability many good teachers possess? a. the ability to make all students behave well. b. the ability to treat different students in the same way. c. the ability to discover a students potential to succeed. d. the ability to predict the near future of a poor student.57. when she saw ms. hunter walk past some students without touching their throats, the writer felt _. a. disturbedb. puzzledc. ashamedd. annoyed58. what does the writer mean by “a necklace to which i can add charms for each stage of my life” (paragraph 6)?

well, wake up and smell the coffee: “its amazing,” says liver specialist sanjiv chopra, md, professor of medicine at harvard medical school. “coffee is truly a lifesaving miracle drug.” though he says its still a “scientific mystery” how a simple cup of coffee works its wonders in the body, large epidemiological studies have repeatedly proved its astonishing benefits. “drink it black, or at most put a little skim milk in it” to minimize calories, dr. chopra recommends. he drinks at least four cups a day himself, though most people should limit themselves to two. and no, he jokes, “im not sponsored by starbucks.”take a walk for your memory aerobic (有氧运动的) exercise is good for your body, great for your mind, according to the latest research from brain-fitness pioneer arthur kramer. every year, an area called the hippocampus, which is key to memory, shrinks by about 1 to 2 percent, increasing the risk of dementia (脑衰) as the years roll by. however, kramers new investigations reveal that the hippocampi of adults who walked briskly for about 45 minutes three times a week grew by about 2 percent over the course of a year, preventing age-related shrinking.its never too late to start exercising, kramer says; volunteers in his research were between 55 and 80 years old and hadnt exercised at all. and it doesnt need to be backbreaking. “anything that raises your heart rate seems to work,” he says. “walking is fine. just find something you like and do it.”early to bed, early to eat “being a night owl might increase your waistline,” says sleep expert michael breus, phd. people who stay up late and sleep late tend to eat more fast food and consume more of their calories after 8 p.m. than do normal sleepers. “one of the easiest things that anyone on a diet can do to improve her results is go to bed and wake up at the same times every day,” breus says. “this way, your body knows when to sleep and is much more efficient. organize your eating, too, by trying to eat meals at the same times every day. avoid eating after 8 p.m., and dont miss morning meals by sleeping in.”use the 20-second rule whats the difference between having a goal and actually accomplishing it? just 20 seconds, says positive-psychology specialist shawn achor. researchers have learned that if we can cut 20 seconds off the startup time required for a task, were much more likely to follow through. so, for example, if you want to work out in the morning, place your shoes and exercise clothes next to your bed the night before. if you want to praise people more, put thank-you notes and a pen on your desk.imagine the worst to feel better dont count your blessings; subtract (扣除) them. “consciously spend a few minutes imagining what your life would be like without the good things,” says timothy wilson, a psychologist at the university of virginia. youll experience stronger feelings of love, gratitude, and happiness when you think about what life would be like without the people and things you love. “and theyll seem surprising and special again,” he adds.60. according to sanjiv chopra, most people should not drink more than _ cups of coffee a day. a. twob. threec. fourd. six61. which of the following may help people on a diet to improve their results? a. raising their heart rate.b. taking a walk for their memory. c. eating at fixed times.d. sleeping in every morning.62. according to shawn achor, if people place their shoes and exercise clothes next to their bed at bedtime, theyre more likely to _ the next morning.a. do exerciseb. set a goalc. cut 20 seconds offd. sleep 20 minutes more63. why should people spend a little time imagining their life without good things? a. to experience surprise.b. to feel better. c. to consider their own blessings.d. to prepare for the worst.cexpensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes（话匣子）to take the term “handsfree” to a new levelby talking into them as they make a call. the gloves are known as “talk to the hand” and cost 1,000 a pair. they fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using bluetooth.artist sean miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget(小配件) recycling. he uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through o2, which commissioned（承担）the project. mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.mr miles designed two pairs of the new glovesone in pink and the other in brown and yellow. they will appear in an exhibition this july and visitors will be able to win the gloves. if demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. o2 recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the uk. the service pays up to 260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, mp3 players and digital cameras.designer sean miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. the 41-year-old said, “i hope that my talk to the hand project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. if a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, i think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”bill eyres, head of o2 recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. he said, “theres a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recyc
