She did not know how she was going to 21 and wanted to give up. She was 22 of fighting and struggling. It seemed as if one problem was just solved before a new one 23 .Her father, a cook, took her to the 24 . He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high 25 . Soon the pots came to a 26 . In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.The daughter sucked her teeth and 27 waited, asking repeatedly what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the 28 . He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he spooned the coffee out and placed it in another. Turning to her he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.He brought her closer and asked her to 29 the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the 30 , she observed the hard-boiled egg! Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. She smiled 31 she tasted its rich flavor. She humbly asked, “What does it mean, Father?”He explained that each of them had faced the same 32 , boiling water, but each 33 differently. The carrot went in 34 and hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it 35 and became weak. The egg had been 36 . Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior.

All three claim the islands, which are really just five small islands and three barren rocks northeast of Taiwan, 200 miles off the Chinese coast.The latest conflict occurred when a Chinese fishing boat collided(碰撞) with two Japanese naval ships trying to stop it near the islands. The Japanese prevented the Chinese captain from leaving the place for questioning and the two countries have been exchanging angry protests.The reason to worry is that nationalists in both China and Taiwan see the islands as unquestionably theirs and think that their government has been weak in claiming this authority.So far, wiser heads have generally won the argument on each side, but at some point a weakened Chinese leader might try to gain the legal right with the public by pushing the issue and recovering the islands. It would be a dangerous game and would have a disastrous impact on China-Japan relations, but if successful it would raise the popularity of the Chinese government.In reality, of course, there is zero chance that the U.S. will honor its treaty(条约) with Japan over a few barren rocks. Were not going to risk a nuclear conflict with China over some islands that may well be Chinas. But if we dont help, our security relationship with Japan will be at the breaking point.So which country has a better claim to the islands? My feeling is that its China, although the answer isnt clear-cut. Chinese navigational records show the islands as Chinese for many centuries, and a 1783 Japanese map shows them as Chinese as well. Japan purported to “discover” the islands only in 1884 and took control of them by force only in 1895 when it also grabbed Taiwan.The best approach would be for China and Japan to agree to refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice, but realistically that wont happen. And since some believe that the area is rich with oil and gas reserves, the claims from each side have become more insistent.As Chinese nationalism grows, as Chinas navy and ability to project power in the ocean gains, we could see some military conflicts over the islands.Taken from NewYork Times41The underlined word “purported” (in Para.7) is closest in meaning to “_”.A. happened B. claimedC. pretendedD. intended42The latest conflict referred to in the passage occurred because _.A. the Japanese government has bought the Diaoyu Islands from the LiyuansB. two Japanese naval ships sailed in the Chinese sea around the Diaoyu IslandsC. the Japanese kept the captain of a fishing boat from returning for questioningD. a fishing boat collided with two Japanese naval ships by design in the Japanese sea43Which of the following is the authors personal idea?A. It is the two Japanese naval ships that are to blame for the conflict.B. It is the Chinese captain of a fishing boat that is to blame for the conflict.C. It is the U.S. that will honor its treaty with Japan over a few barren rocks.D. It is China that has a better claim to the islands because of its navigational records.44What can be inferred according to the passage?A. The claim from both sides has become more insistent.B. Japan has navy and ability to power the Diaoyu Islands.C. China is developing so quickly that it will declare a war on Japan.D. The dispute between China and Japan has put the U.S. in a dilemma.BTayka Hotel De SalWhere: Tahua, BoliviaHow much: About $95 a nightWhy its cool: Youve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? Thats something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of saltincluding the beds (though youll sleep on regular mattresses(床垫) and blankets).

When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.Green Magic Nature ResortWhere: Vythiri, IndiaHow much: About $240 a nightWhy its cool: Ridding a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure.

He proposed that pain is a purely physical phenomenon that tissue injury makes specific nerves send a signal to the brain, causing the mind to notice pain. The phenomenon, he said, is like pulling on a rope to ring a bell in the brain. It is hard to overstate how deeply fixed this account has become. In medicine, doctors see pain in Descartes terms as a physical process, a sign of tissue injury.The limitations of this explanation, however, have been apparent for some time, since people with obvious injuries sometimes report feeling no pain at all. Later, researchers proposed that Descartes model be replaced with what they called the gate control theory of pain. They argued that before pain signals reach the brain, they must first go through a gating mechanism in the spinal cord(脊髓). In some cases, this imaginary gate could simply stop pain signals from getting to the brain.Their most amazing suggestion was that what controlled the gate was not just signals from sensory nerves but also emotions and other “output” from the brain. They were saying that pulling on the rope need not make the bell ring. The bell itself the mind could stop it. This theory led to a great deal of research into how such factors as mood, gender, and beliefs influence the experience of pain. In a British study, for example, researchers measured pain threshold and tolerance levels in 53 ballet dancers and 53 university students by using a common measurement: after immersing your hand in body-temperature water for two minutes to establish a baseline condition, you put your hand in a bowl of ice water and start a clock running. You mark the time when it begins to hurt: that is your pain threshold. Then you mark the time when it hurts too much to keep your hand in the water: that is your pain tolerance. The test is always stopped at 120 seconds, to prevent injury.The results were striking. On average female students reported pain at 16 seconds and pulled their hands out of the ice water at 37 seconds. Female dancers were almost three times as long on both counts. Men in both groups had a higher threshold and tolerance for pain, but the difference between male dancers and male nondancers was nearly as large. What explains that difference? Probably it has something to do with the psychology of ballet dancers a group known for self-discipline, physical fitness, and competitiveness, as well as by a high rate of chronic(慢性) injury. Their driven personalities and competitive culture evidently accustom them to pain. Other studies along these lines have shown that outgoing people have greater pain tolerance and that, with training, one can reduce ones sensitivity to pain.There is also striking evidence that very simple kinds of mental suggestion can have powerful effects on pain. In one study of 500 patients undergoing dental procedures, those who were given a placebo(安慰剂) injection and promised that it would relieve their pain had the least discomfort not only less than the patients who got a placebo and were told nothing but also less than the patients who got actual drug without any promise that it would work.Today it is abundantly evident that the brain is actively involved in the experience of pain and is no more bell on a string. Today every medical textbook teaches the gate control theory as fact. Theres a problem with it, though. It explains people who have injuries but feel no pain, but it doesnt explain the reve
