Some people bite their nails not because theyre too long, but because they are driving, feeling stressed out, or just have nothing else to do. In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association identified nail biting as a symptom (症状) of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD, 强迫症). People with this disorder may wash their hands more often than usual or have to line up their shoes in a certain way. Although nail biting has some things in common with other symptoms of OCD, it is different from them in at least one way. “In OCD, the behavior is really unwanted,” said psychiatrist Carol Mathews. People with OCD dont want to wash their hands over and over again. There is no fun in it. They just fear that if they arent busy doing something, something bad might happen to them. But nail biters enjoy this activity. “Its rewarding. When you get the right nail, it feels good,” said Mathews. Therefore, some people argue that most nail biters do not have any kind of serious mental illness. However, its still a bad habit. So what can we do to stop it? Since most people bite nails as a way of relieving (缓解) stress, finding another way to relieve that stress could be useful, suggested Rochelle Torgerson, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in the US. For example, some people might play with a pen instead. Nail biters feel the urge (冲动) to bite if they find a small part of the nail that is imperfect, Mathews said. So always keep your nails in good shape.59. According to the BBC, _ of UK teenagers bite their nails. A. nearly a half B. two-thirds C. three-quarters D. four-fifths60. Which of the following behaviors is a symptom of OCD? A. Washing your hands before each meal. B. Cutting nails to make them short. C. Lining things up in a certain way. D. Keeping your nails in good shape.61. What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraphs 3-5? A. The common behaviors people with OCD often show. B. The difference between nail-biting and other OCD behaviors. C. People with OCD enjoy doing things over and over again. D. Nail-biters dont have any kind of serious mental illness.62. Which suggestion for how to stop nail-biting is mentioned in the story? A. Biting your nails instead of playing with a pen. B. Give up nail-biting and work hard. C. See doctors and take medicines. D. Keep your nails in good shape.CTeam sports could build character, teach discipline and keep kids healthy, but for some sports, like soccer and football, they could also increase the risk of brain injuries. Helping prevent these injuries, a new collar(项圈) has shown promising results in protecting the brain. These specialized collar, developed by researchers at the Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center, applies pressure to the back of the neck. This pressure allows the artery(动脉) in the neck to safely fill the brain with blood, turning the blood into a cushion(垫子) that makes the brain less likely to move upon impact. The idea of the collar was born out of “biological mimicry”, said Dr. David Smith, a visiting research scientist at the Childrens hospital, who led a study that tested the collar. Essentially, Smith and his colleagues looked to nature to solve the medical issue. “If a wood pecker(啄木鸟) could repeatedly hit its head and not sustain any head injury, why couldnt this be applied to human beings?” Smith said. The study involved 46 teen girls aged 14 to 18 who played for two local high-school soccer teams. Only one team received the collars, and both teams were asked to undergo brain scans at the beginning and end of the season, as well as during the off-season. The scans showed that while the brains of the team that hadnt worn the collar showed signs of damage from the head impact, the brains of the team that had worn the collars remained the same as before. The results are encouraging the scientists to consider that even the minor impact over the course of an athletes career can have long-lasting effects on their cognitive functioning(机能). After all, the areas of the brain that were affected in this study are involved in the behavior, personality, expression, decision-making, and long-term memory. The study did not account for hormonal fluctuations(波动) in the girls, which could affect intracranial pressure. It also didnt look more deeply into whether or not the observed changes in the brain led to behavioral or physical symptoms. Anyhow, if wearing the specialized collar can protect the brain from injuries while athletes continue to enjoy competitive sports, it may be a small price to pay for long-term protection. In the near future, a neck collar may be just another part of your childs uniform along with cleats and knee pads. 63. How does the collar work? A. By acting as a soft cushion. B. By reducing pressure on the neck. C. By preventing the blood running out. D. By making more blood flow into the brain. 64. How did Smith come up with the idea of the collar? A. By testing woodpeckers ability to hunt for food. B. By comparing woodpeckers brain to human beings C. By observing how woodpeckers recover from injuries. D. By studying woodpeckers way to protect their brains. 65. What can we learn about the team that wore the collars? A. They made progress in cognitive functioning. B. They were free of damage from head impact. C. They became quicker in making decisions. D. They suffered from minor head impact. D Four times each year, John King drives into Californias Sierra Nevada Mountains to measure how deep the snow is. Where the mountain road becomes blocked by snow, he parks his truck. Then he continues on skis. But over the last decade, this engineer of the California Department of Water Resources in Sacramento has noticed a change. Ever year, he drives farther and skid less. Climate change is reducing the snowpack(积雪场). “The snowpack accounts for fully one-third of Californias water supply,” another water-resource engineer David Rizzardo explains. Rizzardo has studied 100 years of records on the Sierra Nevada snowpa
