What are you worried about?” she asked. I hesitatedShe was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth“Well, we need to prove its not cancer” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to orderHalf an hour later, a nurse called me: “MrMcMahons daughter broke downshe said you told her he had cancer” My heart sankBy the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancerI stood silently at the end of the bedMy consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left MrMcMahon, she turned to me“Why on earth did you do that?” she asked to disbeliefI looked at her and bit my lip“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her” I said, hanging my head“And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant“You dont say the word cancer until its confirmedEven if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people”As it turned out, it wasnt cancerBut I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one theyre sometimes selective in what they hearand as a doctor its important to be mindful of thisIn being truthful, Id made the situation worse51The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author Amisunderstood the doctor-patient relationshipBwas anxious to receive Christmas giftsCregarded honesty as the best policyDhad an unhealthy eating habit52The authors consultant was angry with him because Ahe told the daughter what he suspectedBhe delayed running the necessary testsChe failed to confirm the patients diseaseDhe forgot what the consultant had advised53The author hung his head（the underlined part in Para4）because he was feeling AguiltyBhurtCdisappointedDhelpless54What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?ALearning from parents is necessaryBJumping to a conclusion is dangerousCTelling the truth may not always be the best solutionDSelecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policyBHowling is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf packAs pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each otherThere are different explanations of a wolfs howl and it appears that there may be more to discover One theory is that wolves howl to bond better togetherIts almost as if howling together helps the pack stay togetherPerhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred HHarrington, a professor who studies wolf behavior Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each otherIt appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at timesSo is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each otherHunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at timesWhen this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gatheringHowling, interestingly, is a contagious behaviorWhen one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will followThis is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence55What is the possible similarity between wolves howling together and humans singing in chorus?AThe act of calling each otherBThe sense of accomplishmentCThe act of hunting for somethingDThe sense of belonging to a group56Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong?AWolves separate from each other after howlingBWolves tend to protect their hunting groundsCWolves sometimes have quarrels after howling togetherDWolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus57Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to_Ashow their ranks Bfind their companionsCreport the missing onesDexpress their loneliness58“Howling is a contagious behavior”（in the last paragraph）means_Ahowling is a signal for huntingBhowling is a way of communicationChowling often occurs in the morningDhowling spreads from one to anotherCIn todays throw away society, dealing with the citys growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council（市议会）. Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of（处理）about 250,000 million tons of waste a yearDespite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner-largely through encouraging recycling-its aging facilities such as the Powder hall landfill do not have the ability to deal with itThe European Union（EU）has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed ofThe five councils（Edinburgh, East Lothian, West LothianMidlethian and Borders） face fines around 18million a year from 2013 it they dont increase recycling levels and rely less on landfillWith this in mind, the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant（垃圾焚烧厂）to burn half of the waste produced in their districtsBut this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the citys waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the citys waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near PortobelloSince Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestionBut soon they turned it downafter 700 local objections reached thembecause it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areasThat still leaves the council with a problemBy 2013,only50%of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfillEven if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt upDue to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out59The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is Arecycling Brestoring Cburying Dburning60The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to Areduce the cost of burying waste Bmeet the EU requirements Cspeed up waste recycling Dreplace landfill sites 61The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because Ait came from a private company Bthe council was not interested in it Cit was not supported by EUDthe local people were against it62What is the final decision of an Edinburgh and Midlothian councils? ATo open a new landfill nearby. BTo close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.CTo set up a plant for burning waste.DTo persuade people to deduce their wasteDFeeling blue about world? “Cheer up” Says science writer Matt Ridley”The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature”Ridley calls himself a rational optimistrational, because hes carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and goodAnd this is what hes set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent bookThe Rational OptimistHe views mankind as grand enterprise that on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 yearsHe backs his finding with hard facts gathered through years of researchHeres how he explains his views1) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London aloneEven allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better ears, and of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before usThis will continue as long as we use these things to make other things.
