This kind of surgery is called cosmetic surgery (美容手术), and both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn face-lifts, liposuction, and implants to help them look younger. As companies develop and move young employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job. These operations are not without danger, however.One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described the operation as terrible. She said, “When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though hed given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everything.” She went on to explain, “I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was scraping away fat underneath my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished, I felt I couldnt walk.” Her trouble did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.Liposuctions is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the USA. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the place where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine is then turned on, and the fat is sucked right out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, “Irregular lumps (肿块) and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is not evenly done, liposuction can produce a very lumpy result.” Patients often must have more liposuction to correct the problem.56. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. people have cosmetic surgery in order to keep their jobsB. there are many different kinds of cosmetic surgeryC. cosmetic surgery can be dangerousD. cosmetic surgery is expensive57. The second paragraph describes _. A. an implant operationB. a womans experience C. a faulty surgical treatmentD. some side effects of an operation58. What is often the side effect of liposuction? A. Fat is taken out of the body.B. Something is put into the body. C. Lumps appear on the body.D. Patients are very weak.59. Which of the following in NOT the reason for peoples having cosmetic surgery? A. To look younger.B. To be more competitive. C. To get into higher positionsD. To keep healthy.BIn most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters. The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those “strange visitors” from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they cant stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warriors Wrist”.Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect the elbows and shoulders. Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness and fell to the floor.Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.60. Electronic games are found very popular with _. A. people living in towns B. students studying in high schools C. girls working in their fathers workshops D. young people aged 142061. “Space Warriors Wrist” is caused by _.A. constantly pressing the buttonsB. rapid wrist movementC. tightly holding the joystick controlsD. inflamed and swollen muscles of the wrist62. The case of a 17-year-old girl given by the writer shows that the writer _.A. supports playing electronic gamesB. feels very sorry for the girlC. disagreed with young peoples playing electronic gamesD. feels worried about young peoples poor health63. From the passage we can conclude that playing electronic games is _.A. enjoyable and helpful to the studyB. exciting but harmful to the health and studyC. interesting but harmless to the musclesD. amusing and satisfyingCBeijing plans to build huge free or low-cost parking lots beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads to encourage more car owners to take buses or subways to the downtown area.The plan is just one of the many measures the city plans to take to reduce its traffic jamming as the 2020 Summer Olympic Games draw near. Low or no parking fees would be used as economic control to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.Car owners living in the suburbs will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. Statistics show that nearly one quarter of the citys traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometer downtown area within the Second Ring Road, which makes up only 12 percent of the citys total area.The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 percent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hours every morning and evening. Part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.According to the communication commission, half of the citys investment in transportation will go towards public transit construction in the next few years, making a jump from the current only 20 per cent. Moreover, Beijing plans to change its layout (布局) by building new city centers, such as at Yizhuang, Tongzhou, Shunyi and Changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.The current layout of Beijing-expanded ring roads around the same center of the Forbidden City, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams. The downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial center, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.Traffic experts say building more urban centers around Beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs and traveling long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flow.64. In the coming years, if a man beyond the Fourth Ring Road goes to work in the downtown of Beijing, he is encouraged to _. A. take buses or subwaysB. take a taxi C. drive there directlyD. park his car in a place which asks for no fees65. According to this passage, while more and more people drive to work in rush hour in Beijing, it is likely to _. A. save timeB. cause traffic jams C. cause traffic accidentsD. reduce air pollution66. The aim in building new city centers is to _.A. make it convenient for people to go shoppingB. develop its local resourcesC. reduce the traffic flow to the downtownD. change the layout of Beijing67. The passage suggests the author _.A. hopes to save some money while parking beyond the Fourth Ring RoadB. finds it costs less to take subways than to driveC. is for the plan to reduce Beijings traffic jammingD. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every dayDMany chemical compounds found in the Earths atmosphere act as “greenhouse gases.” These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely. When sunlight strikes the Earths surface, some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation (heat). Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Over time, the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earths surface should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back into space, leaving the temperature of the Earths surface roughly constant. Many gases exhibit these “greenhouse” properties. Some of them occur in nature (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide), while others are exclusively human-made (like gases used for aerosols).Given the natural variability of the Earths climate, it is difficult to determine the extent of change that humans cause. In computer-based models, rising concentrations of greenhouse gases generally produce an increase in the average temperature of the Earth. Rising temperatures may, in turn,
