england. he had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. when he was seventy five, he gave $ 60,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a childrens ground.as a result of his kindness, he became famous. many people came to visit him. among them was a newspaperman. during their talk, johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be hundred. the newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. johnson had a sense of humor. he liked whisky and drank some each day. “i have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,” he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.the newspaperman did not understand what johnson meant. in his newspaper he reported that johnson was seventy-five and had daily injection in his neck. within a week johnson received thousands of letters from all over britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.21. johnson became a rich man through _.a. doing business b. making whisky c. cheating d. buying and selling land22. the gift of money to the school suggests that johnson _.a. had many children in the school b. was a strange old manc. was very fond of children d. was very kind23. many people wrote to johnson to find out _.a. what kind of whisky he had b. how to live longerc. how to become wealthy d. in which part of the neck to have an injection24. when johnson said he had an injection in his neck each evening, he really meant that _.a. he liked drinking a glass of whisky in the eveningb. he neednt an injection in the neckc. a daily injection in the evening would make him sleep welld. there was something wrong with his neckbpeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. its possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from carnegie mellon university (cmu) in pittsburgh. “we need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist sheldon cohen, the studys lead researcher. in a previous study, cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms(症状). those findings were interesting, but they didnt prove that a persons attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. instead, it was still probable that a persons underlying personality is what matters. evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. this would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds. to figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions), the cmu team interviewed 193 healthy adults. the researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. they told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings they had experienced that day. the results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks. among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy(堵塞)noses. on the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are. for now, it cant hurt to look on the bright side more often than not! 25. what is the text mainly about?a. how to get rid of colds b. attitude determines lifec. smiles turn away colds d. different opinions about colds26. the word “full of vim and vigor” underlined in paragraph 1 probably means_.a. ignorant b. well-informed c. energetic d. in low spirits 27. according to the finding a leading factor of catching colds should be ones _.a. health. b. personality. c. quality d. mood28.bysayingthelastparagraph,thewriterintendstosuggest_.a.positiveemotionsareasgoodasnegativeemotionsb.itisnotnecessarilygoodforyouifyoualwayslookatproblemspositivelyc.itwillbegoodforyourhealthtoalwayskeepupanoptimisticstateofmindd.thesaying-everycoinhastwosides.cbayfield

drink unless you spend more than 10 dollars on the mealdfor most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. soon, that will change. electronic commerce (trade) is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. there will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder. many governments therefore want to apply street regulations to the electronic world. but politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation.consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. but governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen. even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists, the on-line customer in tokyo, say, can hardly go to new york to get a refund (退款) for a clothes purchase.one answer is for government to cooperate more: to recognize each others rules. but that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. and plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober countries to accept. there is, however, another choice. let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves. they do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so.in electronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset. governments, too, may compete to be trusted. for instance, customers ordering medicines on- line may prefer to buy from the united states because they trust the rigorous screening of the food and drug administration; or they may decide that the fdas rules are too strict, and buy from switzerland instead.customers will still need to use their judgment, but precisely because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort. and the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down. in this way, at least, the advent(出现) of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.32. in case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country, what could he do?a. refuse to pay for the purchase. b. go to the seller and ask for a refund. c. appeal to consumer protection law.d. complain about it on the internet.33. in the authors view, businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic world _.a. international cooperation would be much more frequentb. consumers could easily seek government protectionc. a good reputation is a great advantage in competitiond. it would be easy for consumers to complain34. we can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the fda in the united states is_.a. very quick b. very cautious c. very slow d. rather careless35. according to the author, what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?a. self-regulation by the business. b. strict consumer protection laws.c. close international cooperation. d. government protection.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。(注意：e涂ab；f涂ac；g涂ad)easy ways to keep your brain sharp everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit and that can be a very annoying thing. 36 read on for some techniques worth trying.1. 37 people who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of alzheimers disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 38 something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. theres evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. in other words, keep your brain looking forward.2. go for a walk. mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. in fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 39 3. learn something new. take a spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. a study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind.
