yawning with him , though you"re not tired.
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to
sympathize with fellow humans.Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were
unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious (有感染力的) yawning,
which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
Hugo Critchley,a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that
happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley , our mind and body
are in constant exchange about how we"re feeling. " Emotions are closely linked with states of internal
(内部的) responses. " he explained."There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial
expressions. When we"re in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there"s
the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious, changes that reflect emotions
of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure. "
Hugo Critchley further explained , " Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person , we
even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you"re sitting-it"s pretty likely
that you will be the same. Scientists believe it"s our way of telling each other that we"re partners. Through
body language, humans give each other very subtLe (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions. "
So,what lessons can we leam from this? " Spend time with happy people-otherwise your health could
suffer. " said Critchley. " When we"re sad,our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we"re happy,
our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel
healthy and it affects everyone around us. "
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change ofemotions
B. change rapidly
C. relax temporarily
D. respond accordingly
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
B. Children like copying the actions of fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.

| Rabbits are easy to raise. They are clean and quiet. They don"t need a lot of room. And it costs a small amount of money to feed them , but you get a big return. One male and two females will produce as many as fifty more rabbits in a year. That is enough to provide enough meat for a family. Rabbit meat is high in protein and low in fat. You don"t have to be a farmer to raise rabbits. You can raise them in the city. Rabbit houses are easy to make with wood and wire. They don"t have to be very big. But each rabbit must have its own little room in the house. This is very important. Each room should be about 75 centimeters wide,60 centimeters high and one meter deep. Fencing is used for the sides and floor of the rabbit house. The holes in the wire fencing should be about one centimeter square.Waste from the animals will drop through the holes. This keeps the rabbit house clean and dry. Rabbits need a lot of fresh air and sunlight. Cover the sides of the rabbit house only to protect it from rain. Rabbits eat mostly grass and leaves. Hang feeding containers on the outside of the house to let the rabbits eat whenever they want. They simply pull the grass and leaves through the holes in the fence. Each room should have fresh water. The water containers should be heavy so the rabbits cannot turn them over. Or you can tie the containers to the fence. One month after mating (交配) , female rabbits give birth to about eight babies. In two months,a baby rabbit should weigh about two kilograms. This is big enough to make a meal for a small family. Rabbits are also valuable for their fur. It takes time, skill and money to prepare the fur and skin for use. If you have only a few rabbits,it probably would be best to let a tanner (制革工) prepare the fur for you. Skill is also needed to remove the fur from the rabbit. But rabbits do not have to be dead to be valuable .Many people enjoy keeping rabbits as friendly pets. And rabbit waste makes an excellent fertilizer(肥料) . Itcanbemixeddirectly into the soil to improve the growth of vegetables , trees and flowering plants. | |||

| 首先,请阅读下列的应用文 : A. Chapter One.…You probably have an image in your mind of what the " perfect" or " ideal" body looks like. Try not to press yourself to look that way.

| The best thing you can say about the roofs of most city buildings is that you don"t have to look at them much. That"s very good, since an urban landscape viewed from above can be an unlovely thing-blockafterblockof tarred(铺有沥青的 ) black rooftops , stickyin summer. windswept in winter and ugly year-round.Or at least that"s the way it used to be. But urban roofs are going green. Fnvironmental designers have begun to realize that the tops of buildings don"t have to be wastelands. Indeed, they can be gardens, planted with grasses,flowers and bushes. A planted roof usually comes in one of two varieties : extensive or intensive. The extensive type is wide and shallow, with a soil depth of less than 8 inches, able to support smaller plants. The intensive type may be smaller,but it"s relatively deeper and home to larger plants. Whatever the design,green roofs are not so simple as ordinary gardens. They have multiple layers beneath the soil, including a drainagelayer , waterproofing , structuralsupport , andso on. But this system can do a great deal of good. A recent paper in the joumal BioScience tells that green roofs can control temperature , contain water and clean the air. And most impressively , they can cut heat loss from a building by 50% ,lower air-conditioning costs by 25% , and reduce the urban-heated-island effect by 2℃. Of course,apart from the square feet greened and heat reduced. green roofs are even more valued since people can gain some psychological comfort simply by having a quiet place to go. As so often happens,what"s good for the planet can also be good for the spirit.  1.________2._________3.__________4.___________5.___________ 6.________7._________8.__________9.___________10.__________ |
