Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house.

25、 Glancing up, he saw a large wasp（黄蜂）nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they dont bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest

26、 again to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was d

27、riving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects

28、soon passed. However, what he didnt know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breath

29、ing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike（话筒）, trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Departments north station. So his best chance was to make a

30、 run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock（休克）. Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words.

31、 “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.51. It is m

34、 the passage? A. Allen, A Helpless Driver B. Wasps, Bloody KillersC. A Race Against Death D. War Against WaspsB Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates unde

35、r the theory of whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine.” Says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers （剑）.Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.” “Examine the extended family, and youll probably find a bossy grandparent

36、, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. Its an inheritable trait.” Says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance（支配地位）when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreeme

37、nt with each other. Whether its inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isnt healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Coope

38、ration, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” Its the parents role to provide that protection.When a “boss child” doesnt learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teacher

39、s or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways. “I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they dont want to be as

40、strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.” 55Bossy children like Stephen Jackson _.Amake good decisions Bshow self-centerednessClack care from others Dhave little sense of fear56The underlined phrase “inh

41、eritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means _.Ainborn nature Bdeveloped characterCaccepted theory Dparticular environment57Bossy children may probably become _.Arelaxed Bskillful Chesitant Dlonely58What is the passage mainly about?AHow bossy behavior can be controlled. BHow we can get along with bossy chil

44、ioxide breathed out by people in a room could determine whether the air conditioning needs to be turned up.Many new materials and technology have been designed in the last 15 years. They are now being used in a wave of buildings designed to save as much energy as possible. They include old ideas, li

45、ke “green roofs,” where a belt of plants on a roof helps the building keep heat in winter and stay cool in summer, and new ideas, like special coating for windows that lets light in, but keeps heat out.As technologies such as sensors become cheaper, their uses spread.The elevators(电梯) at Seven World

46、 Trade Center, which is under construction in New York, use a system that groups people traveling to nearby floors into the same elevator, thus saving elevator stops.
