But for ordinary people, falling is not 36 . For example, if you 37 over a stone or fall off your bike, you have to take days to get well. For 38 people, the result of a fall could be worse.Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, USA, wanted to know why some people are 39 likely to fall than others.The researchers found that 40 means more than planting your feet on the ground and standing tall. Your brain 41 your sense of balance with information from your eyes and inner ears and the 42 from your feet and legs. If something goes wrong with any of these, youre 43 to fall. People 44 to fall more often as they grow older because their senses are slower.State of mind is important too. The research shows that when people know theyre walking on a slippery surface, they 45 their pace and walk with flatter feet. As a result, they fall less often.“We actually 46 people slip and fall,” researcher Mark Redfern said. People of different ages fall on 47 in his lab. Cameras 48 their falls and a computer analyzes the information. Scientists then can 49 people who fall often how to be more watchful.“If they get 50 to a lifelike but controlled environment, people can 51 learn to handle the 52 thing,” Redfern said.Falls happen to everyone sometimes. 53 you see someone fall, think about why and offer a helping 54 .

Tests are available at three levels: GELS Higher, CELS Vantage and GELS Preliminary.So, if, for example, you are particularly good at reading but have difficulty in speaking English, you could take a CELS Higher test in Reading, CELS Vantage tests in Listening and Writing, and, for Speaking, a CELS Preliminary test. Or you could decide not to take a speaking test at all.Those are linked to other Cambridge ESOL examination levels, such as the First Certificate in English. CELS are also accredited as part of the UK National Qualifications Framework.For more information on these, you can download a copy of the GELS Handbook from Cambridge ESOL Chinese website at www.

For a quick moment his eyes met those of the cook, and he saw there a light of such hatred and fear that no words could describe.The cook moved quietly closer. He whispered to Tom in a rough voice, Dont be too clever. Mark my words. And he went away.Tom s thoughts did not stay focused on the cook and his words. His friend was in trouble. How could he help him? He decided to slip away as soon as possible in search of information that would clear Jay of all doubts and bring the true criminal to justice.He had noticed a piece of old sailcloth (帆布) lying on the ship floor. With this and a length of string (绳子) he made a package which looked very much like the one the police had seized. His plan was to step to the shore and hand it over just as the cook had ordered Jay to, hoping in this way to learn the truth about the criminal s activities. He could then persuade the police of his friend s innocence.By now it was dark. Taking the blankets out of Jay s empty bed, Tom piled them up in his own in the shape of a sleeping figure. How real it looked! With the blanket pulled up high around the figure s head he could almost believe he saw it breathing. Pleased with this, Tom moved quietly to the door.He was about to open it when he felt the handle turning the other way. Someone was outside and about to come in. Had his plan failed? Slipping quickly back behind the door as it opened, Tom waited.It was the cook who was leaning forward now over the figure in the bed. His arm swung up and a long knife plunged down.60. The main cause of Tom s worry was that he _.A. failed to save his friend out of trouble B. knew the truth about the criminalC. knew his friend was in trouble D. felt such hatred and fear of the cook61. Paragraph Five of the passage mainly describes _.A. Toms hope to catch an intruder (闯入者) B. the unknown sleeping figure in Jay s bedC. the danger Tom faced in Jay s empty bed D. what Tom did to carry out his plan62. Toms plan was to _.A. help his friend slip away B. pretend to know the plan of the criminalC. find out Jay was not the criminal D. pretend to bring the true criminal to justice63. If asked, Tom would probably say, I risked danger because _.A. I wanted to help the police B. I knew my friend was innocentC. I knew the cook was a murderer D. I wasnt to dismiss the criminals planCPlay is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy(婴儿), every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child s development.In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited(遗传的) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws(七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling(涂鸦) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play - the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.But at the third stage of play development - from five to seven or eight years old - the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It iseasier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed - to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.64. According to the first passage we know that as a child grows up _.A. he should be allowed to choose his own toys B. he should be given the same toysC. he should be given different toys D. he should be given fewer and fewer toys65. According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents _ .A. determine his characterB. will not change after the age of threeC. partly determine the standard he is likely to reachD. to a large extent determine the choice of toys66. We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity _.A. when he is two B. when he is around four C. when he is six D. when he is eight67. The passage is mainly about _.A. the importance of pre-school education B. the importance of schoolingC. the role of play in a child s development D. the choice of toys for youngsterDIn the last 500 years, nothing about people - their clothes, ideas, or languages-has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree (可可树) by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the Potato Famine(饥荒) of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400 s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the wide-awake feeling that one third of the world s population now starts the day with.68. According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?A. Food. B. Clothing. C. Ideology. D. Language.69. The word some in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to _.A. some cocoa trees B. some chocolate drinks.C. some shops D. some South American Indians70. Thousands of Irish people starved during the Potato Famine because _.A. they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat anything elseB. they were forced to leave their homeland and move to AmericaC. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing potatoesD. the potato harvest was bad71. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. One third of the worlds population drinks coffee.B. Coffee is native to Colombia.C. Coffee can keep one awake.D. Coffee drinks were first made by Arabs.EBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管的) circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the attractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the unattractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attrac
