7、The Mind-Body ConnectionsNorman Cousins was a famous American magazine editor. In 1964, he returned from anoverseas trip and then became very ill. In the hospital, he had terrible pain and couldn't move his body. Doctors told him he had a serious disease called ankylosing spondylitis（ 强直性脊柱炎）and

8、said he had only 1 chance in 500 of surviving. They gave him powerful drugs, but his condition only got worse.Cousins had read about a theory that negative emotions can harm your health. He believed that positive emotions were good for one's health, and he decided to try an experiment. He would

9、fill his days with good feelings and laughter and see if that might improve his condition.He left the hospital and moved into a hotel room. There, he got a large supply of funny TV programs and copies of old Marx Brothers movies and cartoons. He also hired a nurse to read funny stories to him. His p

10、lan was to spend the whole day laughing and thinking about happy things. On his first night in the hotel, Cousins found that laughing at the movies helped his body produce chemicals that reduced pain. For the first time in weeks, he could sleep comfortably for a few hours. Every time the pain came b

11、ack, he watched another funny movie and laughed until he felt better.Over time, Cousins was able to measure changes in his body with blood tests. He found that the harmful chemicals in his body decreased at least 5 percent every time he watched a funny movie. After a short time, he was able to stop

12、taking all of his medications. Finally his condition improved so much that he could go back to work.Cousins later wrote a book about how laughter and happiness helped him to survive a deadly illness. Many people didn't believe his story and said that his doctors were wrong about his disease. But

13、 since then, research has found that emotions do have a strong effect on physical health, and experiments found that laughter can help to reduce pain. Scientists today are working to understand the ways that our minds affect our bodies.16. Norman Gousins became ill while he was traveling in another

This can lead to numerous physica

17、l and mental symptoms, as the disease affects the transmission of electrical signals between the body and the brain. However, the human body, being a flexible, adaptable system, can compensate for some level of damage, so a person with MS can look and feel fine even though the disease is present.2 M

18、S patients can have one of two main varieties of the disease: the relapsing form （复发 型） and the primary progressive form. In the relapsing form, the disease progresses in a series of jumps; at times it is in remission （减轻） .which means that a person's normal functions return for a period of time

19、 before the system goes into relapse and the disease again becomes more active. This is the most common form of MS; 80 -90% of people have this form of the disease when they are first diagnosed. The relapse -remission cycle can continue for many years. Eventually, however, Ioss of physical and cogni

20、tive functions starts to take place and the remissions become less frequent.3 In the primary progressive form of MS, there are no remissions and a continual but steady loss of physical and cognitive functions takes place. This condition affects about 10-15% of sufferers at diagnosis.4 The expected c

21、ourse of the disease, or prognosis （预后）,depends on many variables: thesubtype of the disease, the patient's individual characteristics and the initial symptoms. Life expectancy of patients, however, is often nearly the same as that of an unaffected person - provided that a reasonable standard of

22、 care is received. In some cases a near -normal life span is possible.5 The cause of the disease is unclear; it seems that some people have a genetic Susceptibility（ 易感性） ,which is triggered by some unknown environmental factor. Onset （发作） of the disease usually occurs in young adults between the ag

26、in many countries. However, one country resisted these changes. High in the Himalayan mountains of Asia, the kingdom of Bhutan remained separate. Its people and Buddhist(佛教)culture had not been affected for almost a thousand years. Bhutan, however, was a poor country. People died at a young age. Mos

27、t of its people could not read, and they did not know much about the outside world. Then, in 1972, a new ruler named King Jigme Singye Wangchuck decided to help Bhutan to become modern, but without losing its traditions.King Wangchuck looked at other countries for ideas. He saw that most countries m

28、easured their progress by their Gross Natonal Product(GNP). The GNP measures products and money. When the number of products sold increases, people say the country is making progress. King Wangchuck had a different idea for Bhutan. He wanted to measure his country prsogress by people hsappiness. If

29、the people hsappiness increased, the king could say that Bhutan was making progress. To decide if people were happier, he created a measure called Gross National Happiness(GNH).GNH is based on certain principles that create happiness. People are happier if they have health care, education, and jobs.

30、 They are happier when they live in a healthy, protected environment. They are happier when they can keep their traditional culture and customs. Finally, people are happier when they have a good, stable government.Now there is some evidence of increased GNH in Bhutan. People are healthier and are li

31、ving longer. More people are educated and employed. Teenty-five percent of the land has become national parks, and the country has almost no pollution. The Bhutanese continue to wear their traditional clothing and follow their ancient Buddhist customs. Bhutan has also become a democracy. In 2008, Ki

32、ng Wangchuck gave his power to his son. Although the country still had a king, it held its first democratic elections that year. Bhutan had political parties and political candidates for the first time. Finally, Bhutan has connected to the rest of the world through television and internet.Bhutan is

33、a symbol for social progress. Many countries are now interested in Bhutan s GNH. These countries are investigating their own ways to measure happiness. They want to create new policies that take care of their people, cultures, and land.Brazil may be the nest country to use the principles of GNH. Bra

34、zilian leaders see the principles of GNH as a source of inspiration. Brazil is a large country with a diverse population. If happiness works as a measure of progress in Brazil, perhaps the rest of the world will follow.31. Who was Jigme Singye Wangchuck?A. A president.B. A Buddhist priest.C. A king.

35、D. A general.32. Apart from modernizing Bhutan, what else did Wangchuck want to do for Bhutan?A. To make its population grow.B. To keep it separate from the world.C.

38、hers, according to a study by a Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences food scientist. The research indicates that genetic factors influence some of the difference in the levels of salt we like to eat.Those conclusions are important because recent, well -publicized （大力宣传的） efforts toreduce the

39、salt content in food have left many people struggling to accept fare that simply does not taste as good to them as it does to others, pointed out John Hayes, lead investigator on the study.Diets high in salt can increase the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. That is why public health experts a

40、nd food companies are working together on ways to help consumers lower salt intake through foods that are enjoyable to eat. This study increases understanding of salt preference and consumption.The research involved 87 carefully screened participants who sampled salty foods such as soup and chips, o

41、n multiple occasions, spread out over weeks. Test subjects were 45 men and 42 women, reportedly healthy, ranging in age from 20 to 40 years. The sample was composed of individuals who were not actively modifying their dietary intake and did not smoke cigarettes. They rated the intensity of taste on

42、a commonly used scientific scale, ranging from barely detectable to strongest sensation of any kind."Most of us like the taste of salt. However, some individuals eat more salt, both because they like the taste of saltiness more, and because it is needed to block other unpleasant tastes in food,

43、" said Hayes. "Supertasters, people who experience tastes more tensely, consume more salt than nontasters do. Snack foods have saltiness as their primary flavor, and at least for these foods, more is better, so the supertasters seem to like them more. "However, supertasters also need

44、higher levels of salt to block unpleasant bitter tastes in foods such as cheese, Hayes noted. "For example, cheese is a wonderful blend of dairy flavors from fermented （ 发酵的 ）, milk, but also bitter tastes from ripening that are blocked by salt," he said. "A supertaster finds low -sal

45、t cheese unpleasant because the bitterness is too pronounced.Hayes cited research done more than 75 years ago by a chemist named Fox and a geneticist named Blakeslee, showing that individuals differ in their ability to taste certain chemicals. As a result, Hayes explained, we know that a wide range

46、in taste acuity exists, and this variation is as normal as variations in eye and hair color.36. John Hayes pointed out that .A it is good to health to eat food without saltB many people reject low -salt food completelyC many people accept low-salt tasteless food reluctantlyD. food with less salt tas

47、tes better.37. The fourth paragraph briefly describes?A the purpose of the study.B the research methodology.Cthe analysis of the research resuls.D the conclusion of the study.38. The article argues that supertastersA like the taste of saltiness to block sweet tastes in food 。B like snack foods as sa

48、ltiness is their primary flavor 。C consume less salt because they don t like intensive tastes 。D like to share salty cheese with nonstarters 。39. in paragraph 6， the word “ pronounced ” is closest in meaning to A weary B weak C strong D strange40. The last two paragraphs illustrate that taste acuity

49、 isA genetically determined B developed over time after birth 。C related to one s eye and hair color D still unknown to scientists 第三篇 CaffeineCaffeine is probably the most widely used drug in the world. Humans have been consuming caffeine for hundreds of years, primarily in the form of coffee, tea,

50、 and cocoa. Habitual coffee and tea drinkers had long been observed to have a lower incidence of non -melanoma（ 黑色素瘤） skincancers, although no one knew why. A recent study found that caffeine affects skin cells damaged by ultraviolet radiation, a main cause of skin cancer. Caffeine interferes with a

51、 protein that cancerous cells need to survive, leaving the damaged cells to die before they become cancerous. Drinking caffeinated coffee has also been associated with a decreased incidence of endometrial（ 予宫内膜的） cancer - that is, cancer of the cells lining the uterus - The strongesteffect appears t

52、o be in overweight women, who are at greatest risk for the disease. Researchers believe blood sugar, fat cells, and estrogen（ 雌性激素） may play a role. Although the mechanismremains unknown, people who drink more than two cups of coffee or tea a day reportedly have about half the risk of developing chr

53、onic liver disease as those who drink less than one cup of coffee daily; caffeinated coffee has also been associated with lowered risk of cirrhosis（ 肝硬化 ） and liver cancer.While many of caffeine's undesirable effects, such as elevated heart rate and blood pressure, are brief, some short -term be

54、nefits, including pain relief, increased alertness, and increased physical endurance, have also been attributed to caffeine. As a component of numerous over-the-counter diet pills and pain relievers, caffeine increases their effectiveness and helps the body absorb them more quickly. By constricting（

55、 收缩 ） blood vessels in the brain, it can alleviateheadaches - even migraines（偏头痛）- and can help counter the drowsiness（眩晕）caused by antihistamines（ 抗组胺药）.Caffeine does not alter the need for sleep, but it does offer a temporary solution to fatigue for people who need to stay alert. Research has show

56、n that sleep-deprived individuals who consumed caffeine had improved memory and reasoning abilities, at least in the short term. Studies of runners and cyclists have shown that caffeine can improve their stamina - hence its addition to energy -boosting sports drinks.People who consume a lot of caffe

57、ine regularly may develop temporary withdrawal symptoms, headache being the most common, if they quit or cut back on it abruptly. Fortunately, these symptoms last only a day or two in most cases. Individuals who are more sensitive to the stimulatory side effects of caffeine may want to avoid it, but

58、 most doctors agree that the equivalent of three cups of coffee a day does not harm healthy people. There is no medical basis to give up daily caffeine and many reasons to include a moderate amount in one's diet.41. Drinking coffee or tea may helpA. lower the incidence of non -melanoma skin cancer.B. lower the incidence of being overweight .C. increase the incidence of endometrial cancer.D. increase the incidence of liver cancer.42. Caffeine is used toA. reduce high blood pressure.B. cure liver cancer.C. relieve headaches.D. treat
