But I was 31 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 32 , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldnt 33 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 34 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. I guess we all have to 35 something, Mother said quietly. I could 36 her pain and the tension of 37 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 38 . Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then.

At that moment, feeling Mothers 42 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 43 .

Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2, 600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11, 000 Italians proved 8 a. m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol（胆固醇）but we dont know what actually causes heart attacks, so we cant give clear advice on how to prevent them, ”he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal（内分泌）changes in their bodies, ”Willich explained. “All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot（血凝块）which will cause a heart attack.”“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities,”said Willich.51. Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, _.A. is not as serious as people thoughtB. is the first killer in Germany and ItalyC. is created by researchers in Germany and ItalyD. is harmful to working people in developed countries52. To protect people from a heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to _.A. peoples working time B. peoples living placeC. peoples diet and lifestyle D. peoples nationalities53. It can be learned from this passage that the heart attack has something to do with all the following EXCEPT _.A. blood pressure B. heart rateC. hormonal changesD. blood type54. If the researchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?A. Improve working conditions.B. Never go to work on Mondays.C. Stay with a doctor on Mondays.D. Get up late on Monday mornings.BWASHINGTON/NEW YORK - US President Bush said on Monday that he wanted Osama bin Laden “dead or alive” for last weeks attacks on the World Trade Center and the pentagon, but many of Washingtons allies are cool on strikes against Afghanistan.Bush has named Saudi - born militant Osama bin Laden as a prime suspect, though he has provided no evidence for his claim. Still, he had been building public support for military action and has warned Afghanistans Taliban to give up Bin Laden.But the Taliban, which has warned of “holy war” in response to any US attack, by Tuesday afternoon had given no indication of whether the man they call their“ guest” would be handed over.On an unprecedented“ Day of terror”, two planes smashed into New Yorks World Trade Center twin towers on September 11, putting them into ruins while explosions rocked the Pentagon in Washington, and the White House and State Department were evacuated. The attacks have left more than 5, 000 people dead or missing.China has said it is ready to join international efforts in fighting “terrorism ”but insisted that peace, not war, is the best option.In London, Blair declared it a“ war between the civilized world and fanaticism ”and determined to stand by an ally which aided Britain in two world wars. France, Germany and other, including Russia, are also supportive.“The evil must be punished, ” Russian President Vladimir Putin said. “But we should not liken ourselves to bandit.” His defense chiefs have ruled out hosting NATO forces in former Soviet Central Asia or joining US military action, although Moscow says it will help with intelligence.55. What building（s）was/were totally damaged? A. The World Trade Center and the Pentagon B. The World Trade Center. C. The Pentagon. D. The White House56. In this passage, what country does the underlined part refer to? A. RussiaB. FranceC. Germany D. America57. According to the passage, which of the following is right? A. It was bin Laden that made the terrorist attacks, which have left more than 5, 000 people dead or missing. B. Russian forces will join US military action. C. There is no sign to show that the Tailbone will hand over bin Laden. D. Few countries support America after the attacks.58. From the passage, what problem is the world facing? A. WarsB. TerrorismC. PopulationD. ExplosionsCPlanet HunterWhen Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was whether there were planets（行星）in other solar（太阳的）systems where life might exist, ”he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting（沿轨道运行）other stars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995, ”Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience paid off. ”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family”of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like（像木星一样的）planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features（特征）in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.“Because its so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids（小行星）, or they all come and hit the Earth. ”Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. ”A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life! ”59. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist family.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.60. Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?A. The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.B. The planet is close to star 55 Cancri.
