To distract (分散注意力) her and minimize the risk of her going into shock I kept her talking. She held my hand tightly when the pain got too much and this helped.

The ICU doctor decided that Jenny should lie on her back, making her much more comfortable until the emergency services arrived.Thinking back, Jane says: “For me, knowing that in a small way I helped that girl through what was a frightening experience is all the reward I need.

Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behaviors. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinsons disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high assumption of coffee has health risks. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risks of heart disease in these people,According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harms of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school students stated, “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”28. What is peoples attitude toward the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?A. Disapproving B. Tolerant C. Doubtful D. Mixed29. What does the underlined word “moderate” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A Personal B. Slight C. Reasonable D. Heavy30. What can we infer about Harwood?A. Hell keep on drinking coffee. B. He loves his high school life.C. He often falls asleep in class. D. He has some health problems.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Why People Love Coffee?B. How Coffee Affects HealthC. The Culture of Coffee DrinkingD. The New Findings of Heart DiseaseDEven in challenging economic times, making sure that study abroad is part of our college students education is an important investment (投资). If we want a new generation of leaders who can be productive in an even more globalized world, sending our students overseas is not a luxury (奢侈). Its a necessity.Learning in a different culture and place allows us to see our own challenges as we observe smart people in other lands dealing with similar problems.American college students understand the value of study abroad. Four out of every five first-year students expect to study overseas. But at any given time, only about 2% of students are able to. Educators are especially concerned that the lack of chance for students from poor socioeconomic backgrounds will cause a “global divide” between students whove benefited from a global education and those who havent. And students for whom foreign travel is not easily affordable are the ones who benefit most from the experience. As a society, we can help improve the education of our younger generation, and brighten their futures, by making this experience more available.Is now the time to use valuable public money to send college kids overseas? Of course. Our world is one big, rapidly developing marketplace. Employers long for graduates who are multilingual (使用多种语言的) and comfortable in multicultural settings. Study abroad sharpens these skills and helps keep American workers competitive.Americans who want our next generation to be hands-on with the world - working with international partners against challenges, working competitively in a globalized economy, and having enthusiasm rather than anxiety about other cultures and approaches to existing problems - can get on board with the movement to help our students get a globalized education. Encourage the young people in your lives to get a passport and see the world as a classroom. Its good for the future of America. And its fun.32. What is the authors attitude towards study abroad?A.Favorable. B. Doubtful. C.Negative. D. Cautious.33. What do educators worry about?A. Students not being able to study abroad.B. Poor students not receiving a good education.C. A possible future “global divide” among students.D. Students not being able to deal with cultural differences.34. According to Paragraph 4, study abroad _.A. is a huge waste of public moneyB. helps increase students competitivenessC. makes students aware of the challenges theyll faceD. teaches students how to work with international partners35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A. Americas next generation will face more difficultiesB. Americans are trying hard to get a globalized education C. the author is greatly concerned aboutthe future of America D. the author is worried about young peoples development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。If something that youre doing doesnt challenge you, then it doesnt change you.
