It meant that the Roman Catholic Church had chosen a new leader for its 1 billion followers. Cardinal (红衣主教) Joseph Ratzinger of Germany has become the new Pope (教皇).Ratzinger will now be known as Pope Benedict XVI. The crowd of thousands gathered in St. Peters Square broke into cheers at the announcement. Soon after, Ratzinger made his first appearance as the Pope, waving and addressing his followers.Ratzinger, who turned 78 on Saturday, was born in the German province of Bavaria. It has been more than 1,000 years since the Roman Catholic Church had a German pope.Ratzinger is known as intellectual and firm. For the past 24 years, he has led the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the oldest of the nine congregations that form the government of the Roman Catholic Church. He also has been a professor of religion, speaks 10 languages, and founded Communio, a very important journal for Catholic thinkers.When a pope dies, all the Cardinals gather to choose a new one. But how they actually make their decision is a very mysterious process. The public knows only when a vote has been taken. If the vote does not result in a decision, the ballots (选票) are mixed with a chemical and burned, sending black smoke out of the Sistine Chapel chimney. If the vote results in a new pope, the chimney blows out White smoke. Pope John Paul ordered that bells should ring, too, in case of confusion about the smoke.43.

I feel uncertain that sleep is one of those things that do the nailing down, Professor Stickgold said.Professor Stickgolds team trained 24 people to tell the direction of three diagonals (斜线) shown for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal stripes (水平线条).Half the subjects were kept awake that night, while the others slept. Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers (志愿者).Those who slept the first night were much better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement in spite of enjoying two nights of catch-up sleep.A further study by scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck in Germany showed that memories are laid down in two stages during the night. The first is during the deep, so-called slow wave sleep, which usually takes place in the first half of the night. The second, and the less important stage happens during periods of dreaming, or rapid eye movement (REM). When people dont sleep well in the first half of night, their memory consolidation is almost the same as having no sleep at all.47. Which of the following statements is correct according to Paragraph 1?A. It is unnecessary to bum the midnight oil before an exam or interview.B. Sleep speeds up the loss of memory.C. People should have a good sleep if he will have an exam or interview.D. Staying up late will make you better prepared for an exam or an interview.48. What is the purpose of Professor Stickgolds research?A. To find if sleep can help remember tasks quickly.B. To see if sleep helps to consolidate the memory of tasks.C. To find the importance of sleep.D. To find if those who sleep more have a better memory.49. What is the study result of the scientists at Medical University at Lubeck?A. REM sleep is not important at all for people.B. Intellectual performance mainly depends on the slow wave sleep period.C. When people sleep poorly in the first half of the night, it is almost the same as having no sleep at all.D. The REM sleep is as important as slow wave sleep on memory recall.50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Sleep is necessary for memories.B. The first stage sleep is very important.C. Studies made by scientists about sleep are successful.D. The scientists get great achievements in sleep research.EAt some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you wont act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, and how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Good-bye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings of death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this subject.One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It is not taboo to talk about fat; its taboo to be fat. The in looks thin not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking. Trim (整洁的) executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on
