times, people have put plants into pillows for their health. medicinal pillows get medical treatment closely with peoples life and keep the people working in process. back in the tang dynasty （ad 618- 907）, the famous chinese doctor sun simiao made medicinal pillows to treat aches in the neck and head, getting good results. the medicine that should be put into the pillow should be carefully chosen according to ones illness pillows filled with the skins of beans, seeds, dried flowers and wheat are good for the eyesight and keeping the mind clear，since their smell helps one go to sleep.

out. while many people in china will remember confucius on his special day, few people in the united states will give him a passing thought. its nothing personal. most americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. but this doesnt mean that americans dont care about confucius. in many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of china. in the past two decades, the chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in western universities. more recently, the chinese government has set up confucius institutes in more than 80 countries. these schools teach both chinese language and culture. the main courses of chinese culture usually include chinese art, history and philosophy. some social scientists suggest that westerners should take advantage of the ancient chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of westerners philosophy. students in the united states, at the same time, are racing to learn chinese. so they will be ready for life in a world where china is an equal power with the united states. businessmen who hope to make money in china are reading books about confucius to understand their chinese customers. so the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. today china attracts the west more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce confucius and chinese culture to the west. as for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the west, even if his birthday is. 60. the opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.a. provide some key facts about confuciusb. attract the readers interest in the subjectc. show great respect for the ancient thinkerd. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations61. what is the best title for the passage?a.

people and native hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. it compared their risk to whites, japanese-americans and latinos.researchers at the university of southern california and the university of hawaii did the new study. the new england journal of medicine published the findings. the eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. they included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. almost 2,000 people in the study developed lung cancer.researchers say genetics might help explain the racial and ethnic（种族的） differences. there could be differences in how peoples bodies react to smoke. but environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.african-americans and latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. whites are the heaviest smokers. but the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. this could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer. scientists know that some diseases affect different groups differently. and some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted (针对) medicines. last june, the united states food and drug administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. the name is bidil. the agency called it a step toward the promise of personalized medicine. 63. which of the following orders is from higher to lower risk of having lung cancer? a. whitesnative hawaiiansb. africansamericanslatinos c.

last paragraph is to _. a. explain different races react to some diseases differently b. tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers c. show a big step people have taken in the medicine

clear goals and be realistic. your standards should be specific or else you will spend your entire time chasing after a vague goal. for example, you want to be good at your job. however, this is not a
