I knew it could easily slip under a seat, so I searched around. But nothing was found. At last I remembered I had left my purse on the roof of the car, in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot. I panicked and was sure that my credit cards had already gone. But something told me to call the Dunkin Donuts just in case. “Oh thank goodness,” the clerk said when I called. “We were going through your purse, trying to find a way to get in touch with you. Someone found your purse lying in the parking lot and turned it in.” Refusing any kind of reward, the shop owner express-mailed it to our friends home. A few years later, on a snowy Minnesota winter night, my car suddenly broke down and I had to walk home. Before leaving my car, I remembered my purse was still in my pocket. But when I got home, it wasnt there. I searched again around the seats but my purse didnt appear. Had I lost my purse again? Knowing my good fortune might not repeat itself, I called the credit card pany and my bank to freeze my accounts. But the next morning I got a call. “Is this Heidi Grosch?

It cant be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radiation without a radiation detector. But unlike mon radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is pletely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(辐射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.33.Which of the following statements is true?A. Nuclear radiation is just like mon radio waves.B. Nuclear radiation can be detected by human senses.C. Nuclear radiation can cause cancer to human beings.D. Nuclear radiation can be safe to human beings if its level is low.34. How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?A. By damaging its heart. B. By killing a few cells.C. By hitting any place in its body. D. By killing many cells in important organs.35. If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may _.A. die of cancer after many years B. die immediatelyC. have a child who may be born weak D. all of the above第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。While it is impossible to live pletely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided. 36._37._When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.
