one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.“i dont sing,” said the man.but the lady told the waiter, “im tired of listening to the piano. i want the player to sing!” the waiter shouted across the room, “hey, friend! if you want to get paid, sing a song!” so he did. he had never sung in public before. now he was singing for the very first time! nobody had ever heard the song mona lisa sung so beautifully! he had talent he was sitting on! he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. but once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the us. his name was nat king cole. you, too, have skills and abilities. you may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. with hard work, most skills can be improved. besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.28. the lady asked the player to sing a song because _.a. she had paid

2010s.you feel sick, so you go to the doctor. she checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what youve been thinking about lately. when you leave, she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily. she says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people act in the way that they do, called psychologists (心理学家), are starting to believe it. you know that your brain (脑) is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system (神经系统). now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body.stress is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobodys life is perfect. in fact, stress is necessary. without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change. we would probably be bored to death. but too much stress can hurt you. it can weaken your bodys protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. it can even make you more likely to have an accident.when you feel stressed, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素). adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat. today you have a different kind of stress. problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you cant fight or run away from, so you dont use up all that adrenaline. it just stays bottled up inside you, and thats what can do something bad to you.what can you do about stress? first, you can try to find ways to change things so you arent under so much stress. you can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends. but sometimes you cant change a stressful situation. sometimes you dont even want to. a big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful.the link (关联) between your body and brain works in two ways. your body can help your mind deal with stress. if you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body. its important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious (有营养的) meals. some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. another thing that you can do is daily exercise. if you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym (体育馆), you give your body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline. of course, a person who isnt used to much physical activity should start slowly. anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before starting any exercise programs.31. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. you shouldnt go to the gym if you are under stress. b. one can do his homework to burn up adrenaline. c. disease and accidents are caused by stress. d. everyone needs stress to improve himself.32. from the last sentence of paragraph 5 we can infer (推断) that _. a. its difficult to change a stressful situation b. its not stressful when a good change takes place c. a big change will cause another stressful situation d. a stressful situation cant be changed without any effort33. what is probably the best title for this passage? a. the body-brain link b. the causes of stress c. the advice on health d. the nervous systemdlondonscientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. all you have to do is to send a few comets (彗星) in the direction of earth, and its orbit (轨道) will be changed. our world will then be sent moving into a safer older part of the solar system.this idea for improving our climate comes from a group of us nasa (美国航空航天局) engineers and american astronomers. they say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planethopefully doubling its working life.the plan put forward by dr. laughlin, and his colleagues don korycansky and fred adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid (小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy (重力势能) to earth.“earths orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the sun,” laughlin said.engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to jupiter (木星) or saturn(土星). the comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. later its orbit would bring it back to earth, and the process would be repeated.in the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to worldwide warming, although the team was actually worried about a much greater danger. the sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere (生物圈)by cooking us.thats why the group decided to try to save earth.the plan has one or two worrying sides, however. for a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards earth. the smallest miscalculation (误算) in orbit could fire it straight at earthwith deadly results.there is also the question of the moon. as the present issue of scientific american magazine points out, if earth was pushed out of its present location, it is “most likely the moon would be stripped (剥离) away from earth,” it states. this would greatly change our planets climate.34. what makes the scientists plan to move earth?a. a few comets are moving to the direction of earth.b. earths working life is coming to an end soon.c. earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.d. the moon is moving farther and farther away from earth.35. if the plan is successful, earth will have a working life of _ years.a. 12 billion b. 6 billion c. 18 billion d. 24 billion36. what serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?a. the comet might hit earth and man might lose the moon.b. earth might be moved too far away and man might die because of the coldness.c. the comet might hit jupiter or saturn and never return to earth.d. earths working life might be greatly shortened.37. what does the underlined word “compromise” mean?a. provide b. benefit (受益) c. share d.
