The designs we received include:James Anthony, DrummoyneJames reduces the Union Jack down in size and changes its shape to become a reminder of the British tradition rather than canceling it altogether. At the same time he suggests enlarging the stars of the Southern Cross. His design attempts to use the best of both worlds in a newly designed flag.As he says, “the British part of the Australian Flag is too big and the Australian bits are too small. When you make the stars bigger the Australian flag can look impressive.”Joe Bollen, TurranmurraJoes flag has the main elements of a risen sun, white horizon(地平线), red earth at the base and the Southern Cross. He intends to make the risen sun a special Australian symbol on the flag. He believes it represents life. The Southern Cross shows that we live in the Southern Hemisphere. (半球)Maria Ieraci, SydneyMaria deleted the Union Jack but otherwise kept the flag as is with the Southern Cross and Federation Star. She says, There is only one correct way to change the Australian flag” and that is “to drop the Union Jack - when Australia becomes a Republic”, which she hopes will be before 2020.Ron Bennett, SydneyRon recommends using the Aboriginal colors but replacing their image of the sun with the map of Australia. He says, “Australia is unique being an island continent with an instantly recognizable outline at that” and “this will leave no doubt as to which country the flag belongs.”45.

The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help protect us from the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective-as in happiness improving immune, function-and subjective-as in happy people being less troubled by a sore throat or funny nose. "People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus," explained lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. "And when they do get a cold, they may interpret their illness as being less severe."Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional trait itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality traits, self-perceived health and emotional "style." Those who tended to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy, tense and hostile had a negative style.The researchers gave them nasal(鼻的) drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the volunteers reported on any aches, pains, sneezing or congestion they had, while the researchers collected objective data, like daily mucus production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes, happy people were less likely to develop a cold.49. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Stay Away From Being Negative B. Positive or Negative, Its Up To You C. An Effective Medicine For Being Fit D. Warm People Likely To Keep Cold Away50. According to Dr Cohens research, the reason why some people are unlikely to catch a cold is that _. A. their cheerful mood benefits the immune system B. they have developed a certain gene against flu virus C. they are less likely to have s sore throat and funny nose D. they have got a stronger self-confidence in their health51. The underlined word “disposition” (paragraph 2) probably means _. A. character B. day C. future D. occupation 52. The passage is probably written for _. A. medical students B. lead authors C. the public D. the volunteers DIts hard to track the blue whale, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling.
