From little 36 lies to the more serious variety, most women will hold back the 37 at some point in a relationship. Her motivation 38 lying can stem (起源于) from wanting to protect your feelings or, sure enough, to save her own butt (抵触).One day, when a seamstress（女裁缝师）was sewing 39 sitting close to a river, her thimble（顶针）fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord 40 and asked, My dear child, why are you crying? The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and 41 she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped his hand into the water and 42 a golden thimble set with sapphires(蓝宝石).Is this your thimble? the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, No.The Lord again dipped into the river.

The seamstress replied, Yes. The Lord was pleased with the womans 45 and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home, much 46 . Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the 47 , and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. 48 she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked her, Why are you crying? Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. Is this your husband? the Lord asked.Yes, cried the seamstress. The Lord was 49.

Soon the benefits may be more widespread. A 25-year-old man unable to move from the neck down recently did what many assumed impossible. After a knife attack that had left him paralyzed, all he could move was his head, which he used to push a switch and call for a nurse. And he could turn his wheelchair by blowing into a straw near his face. That was it. Then last June, a Foxborough (Mass.) company called Cyber Kinetics opened the mans skull and inserted a special chip no larger than a baby aspirin. That insert has given him a few additional and precious abilities. When connected to a special computer via a cable, the chip translates the young mans thoughts into commands that let him move a cursor across a PC screen and open e-mail. He can draw a circle with a computer painting program. And he can use a robotic hook(钩) to perform simple tasks like picking up a candy and sliding it across a table.All he has to do is to think. Several new studies have begun or been completed in the past year. In fact, more than half of the scientific papers in this field, called brain-to-computer interaction (BCI), have been published in the past two years, notes Jonathan Wolpaw, a research physician at Wadsworth Center, the New York State Health Dept.s research laboratory. Brain surgeries (手术) are no longer rare: Thousands of Parkinsons disease patients have had special devices inserted in their brains to ease uncontrollable shaking and other symptoms. The inserts themselves have improved, so the body doesnt reject them as furiously(猛烈地). And significant development has been achieved in software used to interpret the brains signals and change them into commands understood by computers. But increased demand for thought technology remains the biggest reason for the fields progress. Today, 4 million Americans live with paralysis according to the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation. Scientists hope that thought technology will reduce the impact of such disabilities. People with spinal-cord injuries, for example, often lose their ability to walk because the communications network between their brain and their legs has been interrupted. The brain still commands the leg muscles to move, but they dont hear its orders. Thought technology, scientists hope, will bridge this communications gap. Our goal is for you to see paralyzed people eating at a restaurant and for you not to know that they are paralyzed, says John Donoghue, founder and chief scientific officer at Cyber Kinetics.56. What was the young mans trouble after a knife attack? A. It was impossible for him to do anything.B. By no means could he call for a nurse.C. He could not use his organs under the neck.D. He was unable to move his head.57. What plays the most important role in improving the young mans quality of life?A. A chipB. A computer C. A robotic hookD. A company58. What can we learn from Paragraph Six?A. There used to be a lot of brain surgeries.B. There has been some progress in the field of thought technology.C. People with Parkinsons disease reject the use of the chip in their brains.D. No software has been developed to interpret the brains signals.59. What is the passage mainly about? A. Communications gap B. Thought technologyC. American quadriplegics D. Human brains B. Drug problemsIf youre worried about your own or someone elses drug taking or misuse, its good to know the facts.Why take drugs? Drug users dont start using drugs with the intention of becoming addicted. But many drugs contain addictive substances(物质) and even people who use them occasionally can become dependent and need to use them regularly.Reasons why people start using drugs can include: to escape problems they may be having in other parts of their life, peer pressure and fitting in with another group of people, being curious about the effects of drugs.If you start to use drugs on a regular basis, or if you become dependent on them, it can affect your family and friends as well as having a serious impact on your own physical and mental well-being.Drug overdoses can be fatal. You can die instantly from misusing substances and drugs that you can buy over the counters.Signs of drug abuse and misuseThere is not a common list of symptoms that you can use to tell if you or someone you know is misusing drugs. Thats because drug use affects different people in different ways, depending on the type of drugs theyre using.Although anxiety, tiredness and a change in sleeping habits can be signs of drug use, they can also be caused by changes in your body, stress or other problems._Drugs are categorised into three classes based on their overall level of harm. Class A drugs are the most dangerous, however, all the drugs in all three classes are harmful and addictive.Remember that all drugs are illegal, even Class C drugs like cannabis(大麻烟). If youre caught selling them to other people, or carrying a small amount in your pocket, its likely that the police will get involved.If youre found guilty of any of these offences, you may face a fine or time in custody(拘留), with Class A drugs carrying the most severe sentences.Worried about a friend?If you think that one of your friends or relatives is misusing drugs, you may want to approach them and talk about it. Its not your responsibility to make them stop, but you can tell them about how their behaviour is affecting your relationship. If they ask for help with their problem, then its important to listen and help them find the right information and treatment.National Drugs HelplineIf youre worried about drug abuse and addiction you can call the National Drugs Helpline on 0800 776 600 for confidential advicelines are open seven days a week.

What do you think will happen? You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. Youll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you dont know what time it is, your body does. These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our internal clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more. Everyones rhythms are unique, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But overall, everyone is programmed to feel tired at night and energetic during the day. Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal（内部的） clocks. Now, new discoveries are giving scientists insights into how these clocks work. Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up lat
