though i usually left in the evening ,for some reason last time i had to choose to set off after midnight i was on my way back to austin when i realized i left an important file , and knew i had to return to get it. i took the first exit i could, but when i rounded the corner, an 18-wheeler was stopped dead in the exit lane. i swerved(急转弯) to avoid it, and then i realized that there was something wrong with my car so i pulled into a small parking lot and unsurprisingly found the area deserted at 3 :15 am. ive lived in urban areas most of my life. im fairly street-wise and don t become frightened easily , but i knew i was in a pretty tough neighborhood. there was no one in houston to pick me up. i immediately locked the doors and picked up my phone to call a tow truck. soon a young man knocked on my drivers side window and asked if he could help me judging from his appearance, he was far from a mad man, but i knew he was far more likely to rob than help me. so i lied to him. after a while ,he asked again ,but this time i politely refused and told him the tow truck was due any minute. he finally said, madam ,you need help. a tow truck in houston will arrive anywhere between 45 minutes and approximately never ( which i knew was true) , and you arent going anywhere until you change your flat tire. after considering thoroughly , i got out. he looked surprised, but got right to work. he changed the tire ,returned the seat to its place and said, thank you for letting me help you. you gave me a chance when most people would never open the door to someone like me.

, after admiral horatio nelson of the royal navy, by a teacher who had difficulty in pronouncinghis african name. that name ,rolihlahla , means troublemaker .in 1927 , when mandela was nine ,he decided to become. a lawyer ,influenced by the cases that came on his father. in 1942 mandela entered politics by joining the african national congress ( anc) , south africas major liberation movement and today the countrys ruling party.it was during this time that he ,and a small group of mainly young members of the anc got down to a task transforming the party into a mass movement.in 1952 , he was charged and brought to trial for his role in the campaign of fighting against uujust laws and given a prison sentence. the 1950s turned out to be a time of hardship and suffering for mandela-he

findings that individuals exposed to low levels of lights overnight can develop signs of clinical depression. investigators , curious as to whether the color of light contributed to depressive symptoms in humans ,designed an experiment that exposed hamsters (仓鼠) to different colors. hamsters sleep during the day and are active at night ,in reverse, humans sleep at night and are active during the day. that is why they chose hamsters to do the experiment. the first group of hamsters ( g1) was kept in the dark during their nighttime period. the second group of hamsters ( g2) was exposed to blue light and the third group (g3) slept in the presence of white light. the fourth group of hamsters (g4) was exposed to red light. after four weeks, researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. randy nelson, chair of ohio state universitys department of neuroscience and co-author of the study, said animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. what we saw is these animals didnt show any sleep disruptions at all but they did have disturbed the biological clock genes and they did show depressive symptoms. however ,if they were in the dim red light ,they did not, nelson said. nelson said theres a lot of blue in white light, and this type of light is similar to daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime, which explained why hamsters seemed more depressed in blue light and white light than hamsters exposed to red light or darkness nelson had suggestions for so-called night owls or people who work the night shift. my recommendation is that you should live a typical mostly active life during the day and the mostly inactive at night you should limit exposure to tvs which are quite bluish in the light they give off and computer screens and things like that, stated nelson. of course , you can also install protective glass on your computer screen. 29. what does the underlined phrase in reverse in paragraph 2 probably mean?a. as a result b. on the contraryc. in addition d in other words30. it can be learnt from the passage that _a. hamsters in g2 and g4 are influenced most by light colors .b. light colors have nothing to do with hamsters biological clock genesc. nelson suggested those night owls watch tv more at night d. the experiment proved hamsters in g2 and g3 were more depressed31. the experiment on hamsters shows thata. light colors affect their mood b. light colors disturb their sleepc. light colors influence their diet d. light colors change their habit32. in which part of a website can you most probably find this passage?a. business b. sports. c. health. d. travel.dwelcome to the momath museumintroductions : the national museum of mathematics ( momath) opened on dec. 15

too soon so much happens in our lives every day that we often forget what we have learned. in effect ,the only thing faster than the speed of our thoughts is the speed of our forgetfulness 36 1. small steps get you to big places. the greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing simply because you can only do a little. in fact , it is far more productive to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a giant leap. 37 figure out where you want to go, take a step, and keep on stepping. diligence and persistence will get you there2. 38 two people can be affected by the same circumstance but respond in completely different ways. the reason is that it just depends on their attitudes. when you expect life to be unkind, it will always live up to your expectations. on the other hand , when you consider yourself to be in a fortunate situation ,you will find yourself in many more. 393. you can only change yourself. dont wait for someone who hurt you to make it up to you; this kind of thinking only keeps your old wounds from healing. 40 you have no control over them, and they may never change. inner peace is found by changing your thinking, not the people who hurt you. so forgive those who have hurt you in the past, and even more importantly, forgive yourself for allowing them to hurt you. then smile like youve never cried re-open your heart and mind like youve never been hurt ,and live the rest of your life like youre running out of time. a. fear always exists.b. attitude makes all the difference.c. waiting for them to change is not the answer.d. here are some important reminders to jog your memorye. the path to every goal requires a hundred small steps-one after the other.f in the end ,we learn even more from our failures than we do from our successes.g. it s
