through the people you know you should be able to contact any person on earth Milgram conducted experiments by sending letters to his acquaintancesacquaintances without choosing asking them to pass the letter on through their friends to an unknown person His experiments confirmed later with e mail tests showed that we re all connected by no more than six degrees of separation That is you can reach any person in the world through a chain of six people It might be comforting to know that your friend s friend s friend s friend s friend knows Bill Gates or Jennifer Lopez but it s not really that useful But that s changing now thanks to the development of online databases While many people use their PCs to keep track of their contacts and address books new services like Friendster and Spoke combine those address books together This way you re not only in touch with your own friends but with their friends and their friends friends Looking for someone who works in marketing at Sony Music in Tokyo Going to Paris for the weekend and looking for someone to have dinner with Just check the Friendster Files there s sure to be a friend of a friend of a friend in there So what s the catch If you want to use Friendster or similar services you need to build a profile including your real name where you work your job where you went to school and who your friends are This lack of anonymity 匿名 might seem likely to scare users off but apparently people are hungry for contact with real people In less than nine months Friendster has already 用心 爱心 专心6 signed up over four million users 64 The underlined word in Paragraph 2 refers to A Milgram s relatives B Milgram s friends friends C people Milgram knows D strangers to Milgram 65 Milgram did experiments to show that A people

that some people s brains process information differently By definition people with learning disabilities have average or above average intelligence But their disorders may affect heir ability to gain knowledge and as a result limit their success in school or jobs Different people can have different kinds of learning disabilities One person may have difficulty with language development Another may have problems with reading or writing Still another may have trouble working with numbers People can have more than one disorder but reading is the most common area of difficulty Learning disabilities are neurological 神经学的 disorders that affect the brain s ability to store process and communicate information The National Center for Learning Disabilities estimates that fifteen million Americans or five percent are affected The group says three million students in the United States receive some kind of special help in school because of learning disabilities There are different names for different disorders For example a person who has difficulty reading may have dyslexia 阅读困难 Someone who has trouble with mathematics may have dyscalculia 计算障碍 Learning disabilities may help explain why some students do not perform as well in school as intelligence tests suggest they should People with a learning disability may have trouble following directions Or they may not know how to star a task Children who have problems connecting letters with sounds or understanding what they read may be showing signs of learning disabilities But since these are a group of disorders there is no 用心 爱心 专心7 one single sign to look for Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured But people can learn ways to deal with their disorders Teachers and parents can provide support that will help students learn successfully 68 Which of the following is related to learning disabilities according to experts A Some people are unwilling to work hard B Some people s brains deal with information differently C Some people have lower intelligence D Some people have laid a poor foundation of learning 69 What is the most common area of learning difficulty A Writing B Reading C Language D Number 70 We can learn from the passage that A a student with dyslexia or dyscalculia has a learning disability B one person with a learning disability has only one disorder C people with a learning disability can follow directions D learning disabilities can Ire cured by some special doctors 71 What can people do to deal with learning disabilities A Follow expert advice to take some medicine B Learn ways and receive support from teachers and parents C Teachers and parents should always be strict with children D Form a good habit of reading all kinds of books E Research had suggested certain vitamin supplements 补充物 do not stretch life and could even lead to a premature death A review of 67 studies found no convincing evidence that antioxidant 抗氧化剂 supplements cut the risk of dying Scientists at Copenhagen University said vitamins A and E could interfere with the body s natural defences Even more beta carotene 胡萝卜素 vitamin A and vitamin E seem to increase deaths according to he review by the respected Cochrane Collaboration The research involved selecting various studies from 817 on beta carotene vitamin A vitamin C vitamin E and selenium 硒 which the team felt were the most likely to fairly reflect the impact of the supplements on reducing deaths It has been thought that these supplements may be able to prevent damage to the body s tissues 组织 called oxidative stress by removing the molecules called free radicals which are said to cause it This damage has been involved in several major diseases including cancer and heart disease The trials involved 233 000 people who were either sick or were healthy and taking supplements for disease prevention After various factors were taken into account and a further 20 studies got out the researchers linked vitamin A supplements to a 16 increased risk of dying beta carotene to a 7 increased risk and vitamin E to a 4 increased risk It was unclear exactly why the supplements could have this effect but the 用心 爱心 专心8 team supposed that they could interfere with how the body works beta carotene for instance is thought to change the way a body uses fats The Department of Health said people should try to get the vitamins they need

because A vitamins are poisonous to human body B vitamins A and E could affect the body s natural defences C vitamins are kinds of antioxidants D vitamin C causes the risk of dying 73 We can learn from the passage that in the past people thought vitamin supplements A prevented diseases damaging the body B could cure cancer and heart disease C could help people stay young D could help people sleep well 74 How can we take in vitamins correctly and healthily A Take some vitamins when you feel uneasy B Take some vitamins instead of eating vegetables C Have a
