a. sleeping position decides personality. b. sleeping position reflects personality. c. what the six different sleeping positions are like. d. different people have different sleeping positions.26. according to the passage, which of the following statements is correct? a. those sleeping in fetus position are always strong. b. those sleeping in log position changes their ideas easily. c. those sleeping in freefall position usually feel uncomfortable in their lives. d. those sleeping in starfish position may feel uneasy when focused on. 27. what does the underlined word “participants” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? a. fetus b. british people c. people surveyed d. sleeperscmany countries follow special customs when a childs baby teeth fall out. many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth. for example, koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. this custom is also followed by some other asian countries, such as japan and vietnam. other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. in mexico and spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. but in mongolia, it is dogs that take childrens teeth away. dogs are highly respected in mongolian culture. it is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in mongolia will put their childrens fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog. in france and the usa, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. it is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the tooth fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. what she will leave is hard to know. it is said that in france the tooth fairy may leave some candies; however, in the united states, she may leave money.28. koreans throw a tooth onto the roof of a house in order to _. a. get money b. feed magpies c. get candies d. get a new tooth29. in vietnam, if a childs tooth falls out, he or she will _. a. throw it onto the roof of a house b. feed it to a mouse c. put it in a piece of meat and feed the meat to a dog d. leave it to the tooth fairy30. from the last paragraph, we can know that in france and the usa _. a. a child will put his or her fallen tooth beside the pillow b. the tooth fairy takes the fallen teeth away at midnight c. the tooth fairy will leave some candies to the children after taking the fallen teeth away d. no one knows for sure what the tooth fairy will leave to the children after taking the fallen teeth away31. the passage is mainly about _. a. customs about fallen teeth in western countriesb. customs about fallen teeth in different countries c. stories about human teeth d. stories about some animalsdin recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for youregardless of your health. politicians also got aboard. “there is a direct relationship,” us congressman neal smith said, “between the amount of sodium(钠) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循环的) disorders, stroke and even early death.” frightening, if true! but many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “all these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” dr. dustan insists. “for most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” dustans most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. of the hypertensive(高血压的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced. “an adequate to somewhat excessive(过度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population,” said dr. john h laragh. “so an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.” medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation”(节制) in salt consumption. for the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons. one to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. the rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table. “na is not your enemy,” says comeks dr. laragh. “salt is the no.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”32why is salt attacked by doctors and politicians? a. its unnecessary. b. it does no good to human health. c. it is hated by most people. d. it will surely lead to heart disease and circulatory disorders. 33from dr. dustans study in paragraph 2 we can infer that _. aa low-salt diet may be good to some patients bthe amount of salt intake has nothing to do with ones blood pressure cthe reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patient dan extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone34in the 3rd paragraph, dr. laragh implied that _. apeople should not be afraid of taking much excessive salt bdoctors should not always advise people to avoid salt can adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to ill people dexcessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population 35what is the experts advice for average people on salt consumption? athey should increase salt intake through sodium pills. bthey should avoid salt as often as possible. cthey should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons of salt a day. dthey neednt care about how much salt they consume. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 do you know australia?
