This is not because childrens eyes are too sharp to allow any blot（污点、瑕疵）to pass without being 36 , but because adults have too many conflicting concerns to keep their eyes open to all wrongdoing.Not long before, an examination, intended to 37 some police officers to higher positions, was held in Gansu province. Someone 38 with a good idea that 18 primary pupils could be invited to act as invigilators (监考人). At that age, students would do as they are told and act fearlessly. 39 , they caught 25 officers cheating on the spot, which has caused a stir (轰动,搅动) and 40 the question of whether adult invigilators would 41 their duties as well.The implication of this event goes 42 its impact on the work style of local police officers and the examinations. Most people said what these children have done points to the sad fact of 43 being less trustworthy. If adults acted as invigilators, they would quite 44 turn a blind eye to cheating.We Chinese have been holding the 45 that human nature was good at birth: as 46 of blot as a sheet of blank paper, which can be 47 with content (good or bad) in the process of growing up. Everything should be done on the basis of certain principles. 48 , nowadays the repeated reports of cheating in examinations, selling ranks and 49 and embezzling (挪用) public funds paint a 50 picture of common social morals. Adults have become too concerned with their own personal gains to 51 basic sense of principles. When no one 52 any principle and the only concern is personal interest, everyone will 53 , not only those who first break the rules.Besides, cheats are unfair to honest examinees, and when the success of cheats 54 more people to cheat, the consequences will be disastrous.In a word, we adults need to have our eyes as 55 as childrens on matters of principle.36.

I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I dont know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didnt want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. Do you have kids? he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that Id never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.56. What do we know about the man from the passage?A. He had lost contact with his family.B. He had been forbidden to smoke.C. He had been searched.D. He had killed someone.57. What can we infer from the story?A. The guard freed him in the prison.B. The man smiled to please the guard.C. The guard set the man free with permission.D. The man was surprised to be set free.BThe relationship between exercise and cancer has long both intrigued and puzzled oncologists and exercise physiologists.Exercise is strongly associated with lowered risks for many types of cancer. At the same time, exercise involves biological stress, which typically leads to a short-term increase in inflammation（发炎） which can contribute to higher risks for many cancers.Now, a new study in mice may offer some clues into the exercise-cancer paradox. It suggests that exercise may change how the immune system deals with cancer by boosting adrenaline（肾上腺素）, certain immune cells and other chemicals that, together, can reduce the severity of cancer or fight it off altogether.To try to better understand how exercise can both elevate inflammation and simultaneously protect the body against cancer, scientists at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and other institutions decided to closely examine what happens inside mice at high risk for the disease.So, for the new study, they began by gathering a group of adult lab mice. These animals generally like to run.The scientists then implanted melanoma(黑素瘤) skin cancer cells into the mice before providing half of them with running wheels in their cages while the other animals remained sedentary. After four weeks, far fewer of the runners had developed full-blown melanoma than the sedentary mice and those that had been diagnosed with the disease showed fewer and smaller lesions.They drew blood from both the exercising and sedentary animals and cells from any tumors in both groups. As expected, they found much higher levels of the hormone adrenaline in the blood of the exercising animals, especially right after they had been working out on the wheels but also at other times of the day. The body releases adrenaline in response to almost any type of stressful experience, including exercise.They also found higher levels of interleukin-6 in the blood of the runners. This is a substance that is released by working muscles and is believed to both increase and decrease inflammation in the body, depending on where and how it goes to work.Perhaps most important, they found much higher numbers in the bloodstreams of runners than in the sedentary mice of a type of immune cell named natural killer cells that are known to be strong cancer fighters.So the scientists repeated their original experiment multiple times, inducing cancer while allowing some mice to run and others to sit. In some of these follow-up experiments, the scientists injected the runners with a substance that blocked the production of adrenaline and gave sedentary animals large doses of added adrenaline.What they now found was that when running mice could not produce adrenaline, they developed cancer at the same rate as the sedentary animals, while the sedentary animals that had been injected with extra adrenaline fought off their tumors better than other sitting mice.More remarkably, the scientists determined that adrenaline seemed to be sending biochemical signals to some of the animals IL-6 cells, making them physiologically more alert, so that when a tumor began to develop in the affected animal, those IL-6 cells in turn activated the natural killer cells in the bloodstream and actually directed them to the tumors, like minute guide fish.With these results, “we show that voluntary wheel running in mice can reduce the growth of tumors, and we have identified an exercise-dependent mobilization of natural killer cells as the underlying cause of this protection,” said Pernille Hojman, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen who oversaw the new study. It perhaps provides one more incentive for us to get up and move.58. In the first experiment, which one is the most important result the scientists found?_A. natural killer cells are much more in the bloodstreams of runners than in the sedentary mice.B. levels of interleukin-6 are higher in the blood of the runners than in the sedentary mice.C. exercise such as running seemed to help the mice fight against the cancer.D. adrenaline can reduce the severity of cancer or fight it off.59.In the follow-up experiments, the scientists found_ ?A. the hormone adrenaline has much higher levels in the blood of the exercising animals,B. how these elements in the runners their increased adrenaline, IL-6, and natural killer immune cells fight against tumor.C. interleukin-6 can both increase and decrease inflammation in the body, depending on where and how it goes to work.D. what happens inside mice at high risk for the disease.60.According to the study, we can infer the fundamental substance to fight the cancer off is_A. adrenaline B. interleukin-6 C. natural killer cells D. genesCIts amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course that makes us responsible now? Its the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree. As I sit here, silently thinking about my growth, I wonder over some questions which dont have an answer but its because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride.As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. From then on, that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side. Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful house. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly. I dont know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house of course, it was all dried up now. Its really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structure
