10、selfPassage Two:Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself

11、 at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasnt dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got

12、 closer he called out, Good morning! What are you doing? The young man paused, looking up and replied, Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean. I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean? The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I dont throw them in theyll die. But,

13、 young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You cant possibly make a difference! The young man listened politely.

19、actually wiser than old peoplePassage Three:In the United States, about 750,000 persons have suffered AIDS. More than one half of them have died. But doctors say evidence also shows there is no reason for persons to become terrified (惊吓) by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an in

20、fected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities. A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journal (杂志) of Medicine. The doctors studied one-hundred-one family members who lived with AIDS and

21、 lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients. These included toothbrushes, drinking glasses, beds, towels and toilets. Doctors said only one family member a five-year-old girl got the AIDS virus. They note, however, that the girls mother had the disea

22、se. They believe the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease. The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offi

23、ces, schools and other public places. Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason to punish AIDS patients and to force them to live separately from other persons. American health officials recently warned, however, that some health care workers should take special care. The report

24、noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective (保护性的) covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental (牙科的) work, or other times when the patient may bleed. In the United States, most AIDS patients are homosexual (同

25、性恋的) men, people taking drugs who used infected needles (针头), and persons who received infected blood. More recent studies show the AIDS virus also can be spread during heterosexual (异性的) relations. It can spread either from the man to the woman, or from the woman to the man. 11Doctors say there is

26、no reason for people to be frightened about AIDS because _.A) it is not deadlyB) few people are infected with AIDSC) the AIDS virus is not spread in everyday social activities.D) the AIDS virus is not spread during sex12The study of 101 family members who lived with AIDS patients shows that _.A) the

28、g with AIDS patientsC) fear that AIDS can be passed from a mother to a babyD) fear that the AIDS virus can be passed during sex14Health workers were warned to take special care when the patient bleeds because _.A) AIDS can be passed by touching the patients bodyB) AIDS can be spread by touching the

30、you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanaton. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot”. Thats true. The time of day wh

31、en you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as: “Get up, John! Youll be late

32、 for work again!”The possible explaination to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, bu

33、t you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe yourre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you hav

34、e an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam(鼓足干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before pu

35、tting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.
