after only a month of weightlessness, according to French research published on Friday.
Laurence Vico and his fellow workers at St Etienne University called for more research
into the effects of microgravity, after their study of 15 astronauts from the Russian MIR station
showed bone loss continued throughout space flights.
"Bone loss was especially striking in four astronauts, " the scientists reported in the Lancet
Medical Journal.
They measured the bone mineral density (BMD) of bones in the forearm(前臂) and
lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.
The BMD loss was significant in the tibia(胫骨) of the lower leg, a weight-bearing bone,
but barely changed in the radius(桡骨) of the forearm. "Our results indicate the need to
investigate not only different bones, but also different areas of the same bone since not all
sites of the skeleton (骨架) are similarly affected by space conditions, " they added.
Without gravity the body isn"t bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium (钙)
which makes bones strong, and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.
The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone
density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights, also the possible recovery after
returning to Earth.
B. they were not interested in their own astronauts
C. the Russian government invited them to do their research
D. the Russian astronauts worked in space for a period of time
B. the BMD loss may cause some change in astronauts" bodies
C. astronauts shouldn"t care about the BMD loss
D. astronauts should take some calcium before space travel
B. The drinks they take in space.
C. The temperature in space.
D. The gravity in space.
B. simple
C. weak
D. slow
much like ours. In fact, Charles Darwin"s theory of evolution says that monkeys and humans share
a common ancestor. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us, and we also love to
use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language This is why many monkey expressions
are about tricky people or playful acts.
Monkeyshine is one of these expressions to show tricks or foolish acts. The meaning is clear if
you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other:pulling tails, stealing food,
doing tricks.
Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing. When you feel
like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do, you are monkeying around. It is just a way
to pass the time.
Monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal activities You may come across a news
report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting
secret payments from builders.
Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear. In earlier years in many
American cities, you would find men playing musical hand organs on the street. Dancing to the music
would be the man"s small monkey that was dressed in a tight-fitting, colorful jacket similar to a military
uniform. So, people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit.
B. Monkeys have the same brains as humans.
C. Monkeys often act like humans in many ways.
D. Monkeys are humans closest relatives in species.
B. monkeying around
C. monkey suit
D. monkey business
B. are originally designed for American soldiers
C. share typical features with military uniforms
D. make American soldiers look like monkeys
B. used on some formal occasions
C. about tricks and naughtiness
D. about terrible funny behaviors
needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the
world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world"s population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources
on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man"s needs.
The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man"s technology is big. Oil and gas explorations
have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready

Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and
waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong,
new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve.

Dweck, PhD, calls them "the overpraised generation."
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her resear
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191216/20191216115154-13214.png)
has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we
react to it. Here"s how they work:
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that tale
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191216/20191216115154-14740.png)
artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it"s sure to succeed
without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it"s
quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.
On the other hand, a growth mind-s
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191216/20191216115154-74027.png)
and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn"t on t
he line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When
faced with a difficulty, it"s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this
experience.
We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn"t be able to live in
the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by
encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck"s book, Mind-set: The

B. They are often misunderstood.
C. They are eager to win in sports.
D. They are given too much praise.
B. cares a lot about personal safety
C. cannot share his ideas with others
D. can succeed with the help of teachers
B. Talent comes with one"s birth.
C. Scores should be highly valued.

D. Help them grow with praise.
A new review based on a research shows that stress affects the way the brain considers
the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible
negativeconsequences(results) of a decision.
The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices.
"Stress affects how people learn," says Professor Mara Mather. "People learn better
about positive than negative outcomes under stress."
For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images with
either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first
stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience;
in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases,
the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately(精确) and
the punished material less accurately than those who hadn"t gone through the stress.
This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies
or smoking a cigarette while under stress -at those moments, only the pleasure associated
with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring
about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative
consequences are also easily recalled.
The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men
and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences
under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.
Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the
experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which
risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more,
however, women will win.
This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might
also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more
often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.
B. recall consequences more effortlessly
C. make risky decisions more frequently
D. learn a subject more effectively
B. preference for pleasure
C. tolerance(容忍) of punishments
D. responses to suggestions
B. men have a greater tendency to slow down
C. women focus more on outcomes
D. men are more likely to take risks
