C
Once when I was nine, I came down with a horrible case of tonsillitis (扁桃腺炎). I remember going to the doctor, feeling miserable and scared, but also knowing that this man would somehow fix me. As he declared his conclusion regarding my illness, he asked my mother “Is your daughter allergic (过敏的) to any medicine? ” My mom hesitated for a moment, while I was looking at her questioningly. Was I allergic to anything? What if I was? What would happen to me? My mother said no.
That evening after taking my pill, I began to shake uncontrollably. I complained of a terrible headache and continued shaking as my mother held me. She didn’t seem very concerned, yet I believed I was allergic to the pill. Before I fell asleep that night, I told my mom the medicine had made me sick and I wouldn’t take it anymore. The next morning, my mother had me drink a tall glass of iced tea that tasted funny. Later that afternoon, my mom asked me how I felt. I told her I was doing much better, and that was when she dropped the bomb on me. She told me she had mixed my ice tea that morning with my medicine. Guess what, no allergic reaction. I was never allergic to the pills, but my powerful subconscious (潜意识的) mind, accepted a mere suggestion by the doctor that I might be, and my body acted accordingly.
Most of us have no idea how powerful our minds are, and how incoming information continually affects our experience. When I took that pill, it had a negative effect on my mind. Researchers are finding more and more evidence that what we believe, or expect to happen medically, has a deep effect on what actually does happen.
In some medical trials, the patients never took any medicine, only sugar pills, but were told they had been given expensive medicine, and their conditions improved anyway. They simply believed they would get better. On the other side of the coin, people who believe they are going to die in an operation have a higher death rate than people who don’t.
What we expect often tends to get realized. The power of your mind to heal your body is absolutely fantastic. Take care in what information you choose to believe about your health and well-being. Think positively about your outcome in medical situations and allow your power of belief to help you heal.

Larry Walters is among the relatively few who have actually turned their dreams into reality. His story is true, even though you may find it hard to believe.
Larry was a truck driver, but his lifelong dream was to fly. After graduating from high school, he joined the Air Force in hopes of becoming a pilot. Unfortunately, poor eyesight disqualified him. So, as he sat there in his lawn chair, he dreamed about the magic of flying.
Then one day, Larry Walters got an idea. He went to the local Army-Navy store and bought a tank of helium (氦) and forty-five weather balloons. Back in his yard, Larry used straps to attach the balloons to his lawn chair, the kind you might have in your own back yard.
He fixed the chair to the ground and filled the balloons with helium. Then he packed some sandwiches and drinks and loaded a BB gun, figuring he could pop (打爆) a few of those balloons when it was time to return to earth.
Being ready, Larry sat in his chair and cut the fixing rope. His plan was to lazily float upwards and then lazily back down to land. But, things didn’t quite work out that way.
Instead, he shot up as if fired from a cannon! He climbed until he finally reached eleven THOUSAND feet! At that height, he could hardly risk shooting at any of the balloons, for fear of losing the balance! So, he stayed up there, sailing around for fourteen hours, totally at a loss as to how to get down. Eventually, an airliner pilot radioed the airport about passing a guy in a lawn chair at eleven thousand feet ... with a gun in his lap (腿面).
At nightfall, the winds on the coast made Larry drift out to sea. At that point, the Navy sent a helicopter to rescue him. Eventually they were able to fly over him and drop a rescue line with which they gradually get him back to earth.
On hitting the ground, he was arrested. When led away in handcuffs, a television reporter called out to ask, “Mr. Walters, why did you do it?” Larry stopped, eyed the man for a moment and replied, “A man can’t just sit around. What happens tomorrow depends on what you do today.”
Are you doing something to improve your life ... or just sitting around?
57. It is the fact that Larry _______.
A. was a qualified pilot B. was an amazing bus driver
C. failed to become a pilot D. popped a few balloons
58. While pulled by the helium balloon, Larry took off to fly by _______.
A. shooting at the balloons to get the up-pushing power
B. using straps to attach the balloons to his lawn chair
C. fixing the chair to the balloons filled with helium
D. cutting the rope fixing his chair to the ground
59. Larry’s being arrested suggests that _______.
A. he is a wanted criminal by the police B. it is against law to fly without a license
C. an air liner pilot found a gun in his lap D. he intended to steal military information
60. What might the writer think of Larry?
A. He is stupid enough to get arrested. B. He is wise enough to be a success.
C. He is brave enough to reach his goal. D. He is violent enough to go against law.

BEUING(Associated Press)- China has a growing middle class,a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. 71
While China may be the world"s biggest toy maker,many of the best are exported. 72 It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
A US company,BabyCare,is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China. 73 People who join the company"s "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child devlopment at no extra cost,if they agree to spend 18 dollars a moth on the company"s educational toys and child carebooks.
"We want to build a seven year relationship with those people," said Matthew J.Estes,BabyCare"s president." 74 " BabyCare works on a one - to - one advise parents,explain toys that are designed for children at each stage(阶段) of development to age six.

根据短文内容,从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项有一项为多余选项。
A.Join learning communities and help each other. |
B.Expect problems, never be disappointed, and gradually you "ll make it . |
C.Anytime is learning time. |
D.Get interested and arouse your desire for knowledge. |
F.Try to be a good and effective learner.
As a student, how we can learn our lessons effectively is a common problem which is always puzzling us.If you follow suggestions below, I"m sure you"ll find the solution easily.
61.
Your interest in the subject is the essential driver of success.You can" t learn what you do not want to learn.Emotion is an important part of the learning process.If you are even moderately interested in a subject, give yourself a chance.The key is to get started.If you can create some pleasurable routines, you may find that the subject grows on you.You must always rem learning is just like eating.You don" t expect to enjoy your food without appetite.Therefore, you should always try to arouse your interest and desire for knowledge if you want to leam well.
62.__________
Don"t expect to understand things, or remember too much, the first time you study them.Think about what problem you will meet with in your study, so that you are well -prepared for it.Never be disappointed no matter what happens.Trust that things will get clearer as your brain comes to grips (理解) with new information.It is like a jig - saw puzzle or a cross - word puzzle.As you start to put the pieces together, or string the words together, the full picture becomes clearer.The brain learns all the time, but on its own schedule.Learning does not take place according to a schedule laid down by a curriculum or teacher.Keep at it, and you will gradually find that things that seem difficult at first, will become second nature with time.
63.
Your brain is struggling to form patterns to cope with new input from your learning activities.Sometimes, no matter how long you focus on one subject, your brain is not going to pick it up.If you are stuck, move on.Then cover the same general information from a different source, a different book, or a blog, or an online lecture or a video.Try to become a grazing learner, wandering about the countryside, rather than a feed - lot learner, just standing there in one spot, chewing the same bale of hay.The broader your base, the easier it is to leam.Just as the "rich get richer" , the more you know, the more you can learn.
64.
Take full advantage of the Internet, blogs, and various mobile devices, not to mention good old-fashioned books and magazines.Learn during "dead time".Listen in your car, on the train, or while jogging.Have your learning with you while waiting in the doctor"s office, or listen while checking out at the supermarket.Anytime is learning time.Remember, you are learning through exposure, not by nailing things down.It is more like moisture accumulation in a cloud, rather than building a brick wall.
65.
The "loneliness of the distance learner" is a thing of the past.Join a learning community on the web, where members share their knowledge and experience.Search for the communities that suit your interests and learning style.You will find encouragement, advice and stimulus from fellow learners, as well as from tutors, teachers and coaches.In these communities, you can measure your progress against your own goals, or compare your experience with that of other learners.You can even teach and help others, which is a great way to learn.
