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, inactive substance. patients are sometimes given placebo pills and begin to feel better because 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,” he says.59. 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 disease60. 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 health61. according to the passage, placebos .a. may make patients feel worseb. are not effective pillsc. are not real drugs d. can relieve all kinds of pains62. from the passage it can be seen that there will be no placebo effect if a patient .a. is dressed in white b. has a physical examc. takes placebo pills d. sees a doctorcwhen you grow up, could you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? besides, can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? this situation is common in india, the middle east and many parts of africa. marriage customs around the world often differ from our own. we dont realize that people in other places often get married in very different waysand with different motives.in many countries, marriage is a practical matter. a marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife. it also joins two families, which benefits the couples parents and makes them happy. marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age. because marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures dont let young people choose whom to marry.just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals. every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple. in a typical western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” something old represents the past. something new represents success in the future. something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family. and something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.in poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical. the wedding guests pin money to the brides dress while she is dancing. the money is meant to bring luck and to help the young couple build their new life. in bermuda, the young couple plant a tree in the yard of their new home. once they move in, they take good care of the tree and make it grow. the planting of the tree is a good metaphor（比喻） for marriage. a truly good marriage is something that grows with care.63. which of the following statements does not support the idea “marriage is a practical matter”? a. the husband or wife may have a safe and stable home.b. a marriage brings children to take care of the couple when they are old.c. a marriage benefits both the couples families. d. parents have no duty to help their children get married. 64. the underlined word “ritual” means .a. methods b. ceremonies c. behaviorsd. performances65. what can be the subject of this passage?a. people across the world get married in different ways and for different reasons.b. every culture had its own ways of bringing good luck to the young couple.c. a truly good marriage is something that grows with care. d. in many countries, marriage is a practical matter. 66. which of the following statements is not true?a. parents choose a husband or wife for their child in india.b. in many countries, some cultures dont let young people choose whom to marry.c. in bermuda, the wedding guests pin money to the brides dress while she is dancing.d.something blue reminds the bride to be true to her husband in western wedding.dwhen women sit together to watch a movie on tv, they usually talk simultaneously（同时的）about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what s happening in their lives. when groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. men can either talk or watch the screen - they can t do both - and they don t understand that women can. besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships - not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.during the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. he is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. for a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. for men, to talk is to relate the facts.men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. a woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.there is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. psychiatrist dr michael lewis, author of social behaviour and language acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. since a girls brain is better organized to send and receive speech，we therefore talk to them more. consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.67. while watching tv with others, women usually talk a lot because theya. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsb. can both talk and watch the screen at the same timec. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsd. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands68. after a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to .a. experience the happy tim
