Psychologists say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive.”David Sampson, a sports sociologist, says, “These are often celebratory riotsa large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They dont often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly.”Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel anonymous (匿名的) no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They justfollow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality.”Dave Zarifis, head of public safety says, “Some people dont even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think its OK to do almost anything. They think,There are so many of us and not enough of them.”Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are some things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is veryimportant. Officials should also think of games as “big parties.” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. “When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly.”31Which of the following best gives the main idea of the first two paragraphs? A. Theres a connection between violence and sports.B. One cause of violence at sports events is alcohol. C. There are many reasons for violence at sports events. D.

Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing something. D. Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there. CHave you ever heard a news reporter talk about DNA? Reporters talk about DNA found at the scene of a crime. They talk about police finding DNA “fingerprints.” Police sometimes use DNA as a clue to find out who committed the crime.DNA is a substance that makes up genes. Everything alive has genesPlants have genesAnimals have genes. You have genes.Genes are the basic units of heredity（遗传）Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father.Genes are a kind of codeA trees genes tell what shape its leaves will beA cats genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes. Genes line up on strands（链）called chromosomes（染色体）in cells. Everything alive is made up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells.Different parts of you are made of different kinds of cells. Your muscles are made of muscle cells. Your skin is made of skin cellsThe code in your genes tells your body to make different kinds of cells. The genes in each cell tell the cell how to work. They tell the cell when to make new copies of itself.An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plantsHe experimented with pea plants in the 1860sOne of the things, or traits（特质）, Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some shortHe said that the traits must come from units of heredity passed from the parent plants. These units were later called genes.In the mid-1900s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases-diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by changing genes through a process called gene therapy.36. What is DNA?A. DNA is a kind of gene. B. DNA is a substance that makes up genesC. DNA is the basic unit of heredity. D. DNA is a measure to protect crime. 37. Which of the following about genes is correct according to the passage?A. Plants, animals and human beings have the same genes. B. Half people inherit all genes from their mother, others from their father.C. Genes decide the trees shapes, the cats fur color and our eyes color as wellD. Genes will give you a code when you need them. 38. Where are genes?A. Genes lining up on strands called chromosomes are in the center of cells. B. Genes hide in everything alive in your body. C. Genes can be nowhere but in your mind, controlling all your actions. D. Genes travel in your body and help cope skin, muscle, and eyes.39. An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel .
