If you are saving to buy a CD(光盘)or to go to a concert，then probably you would keep your money somewhere in your room. If you ale saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip，where would you save your money One place to save money is the bank Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄罐)，one year later youll still have the same amount of money you put in.

Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you dont need to use for a long time，this is a good way to make your money grow. You Can buy a CD. at a bank You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time That period might be from six months to five years. You cant touch your money during that time If you do，you must pay a penalty，or feeYour money will earn more money if you put itA. in your room.B. in a piggy bankC. in your pocket.D. in a savings account.2.RelaxationDuring a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body’s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart heat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic(交感的) nervous system activity. This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy(争论). A recent report by Dr. David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal American Psychologist said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation(冥想) does. Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear that the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best for you.Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, autoanalysis (自我心理分析) and progressive muscle relaxation. Although these techniques may not, in the end, produce more of a relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true when a person is in a state of deep relaxation()A. The body takes in less oxygen.B. The heart beats less frequently.C. Muscles become tense and the body sweats easily.D. The consciousness becomes more or less calmed.3.People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the (51) and have made up their minds to (52) the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run (53) through thenarrow High Street. They not only make it (54) to sleep at night, but they are (55) damage to our houses and shops of historical (56) , said John Norris, one of the protesters. (57) we must have these noisy trucks on the roads, said Jean Lacey, a biology student. why don’ t they build a new road that goes round the town Burlington isn’ t much more than a (58) village.

It might be flattering(讨人喜欢的), but how would you feel about having a little brother or sister who is also your twin A laboratory experiment conducted last fall suggests it may someday be possible. For the first time ever, scientists made exact copies, or clones(克隆), of a human embryo. Although the embryos grew for only six days, cloned embryos could theoretically be implanted in a womans womb(子宫)and develop into normal babies. Or they could be frozen and implanted years later. The scientists developed their cloning technique to make it easier for childless couples to have babies by in vitro(在体外的)fertilization. In this procedure, sperm(精子) from the man fertilizes an egg from the woman in a laboratory dish. In most case, doctors must try implanting several embryos before one stays in the womb. Cloned embryos would give them many more embryos to implant. But the technique could also be used for other purposes. Parents might freeze embryos cloned from their children so that they could be replaced if any of them died. The clones would also be ideal donors if the children needed organ transplants. Another possibility: Childless couples could go to a bank of frozen embryos and choose a child just like one whos already living. Some people are concerned that these couples might pick only beautiful, successful children. The ethical dilemmas(困境)of cloning have not yet been discussed fully because the public assumed it was a long way off. Many people are calling for(要求，提倡)controls on cloning immediately before the practice is abused. What do you thinkThe scientists developed their cloning technique to make it easier for childless couples to have babies by in vivo fertilization.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 6.People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells.

Researchers in Texas hope that people who eat the potatoes will be protected against common gut(肠，肠子) infections. They believe this technique could prove to be a cost-effective way of growing vaccines in developing countries where such diseases are still killers. Other researchers previously succeeded in using similar techniques to produce potential vaccines Now Hugh Mason and his colleagues at Texas A & M University(得克萨斯农业及机械大学) their plant vaccines on mice and plan to recruit 15 volunteers for a human trial. The team first tested the technique in tobacco plants. They took a strain of Escherichia coli(大肠杆菌) bacteria that causes food poisoning, and identified the part of the poison which binds to its victims gut cells. They then used a modified plant bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefasciens to transfer the segment of DNA which manufactures the binding protein into the tobacco plant. Under normal circumstances, these bacteria transfer packets of DNA into plant cells to force the plant to manufacture the nutrients they need. But in the modified bacteria, the DNA package includes the gene to pro- duce the binding protein. Once the foreign DNA segment was incorporated(结合，合并) into the tobaccos own DNA, the bacteria were killed off with antibiotics. Masons team then grew these modified tobacco plants and found that they produced the E. coli binding protein. Proof of success came when the tobacco leaves were mashed up(捣碎) and squirted into the stomachs of mice. Mason says that within days the mice started producing specific antibodies to the E. coli poison, but suffered no ill effects from digesting the binding protein. Mason then produced genetically engineered potatoes and fed these to mice, with similar results. Masons team have used plants to produce vaccines against a number of other infectious agents. For example, they have made a vaccine using a protein from the shell of the Norwalk virus, which causes diarrhoea(腹泻) in children. A third vaccine has also been produced in tobacco using a surface protein from the hepatitis B virus. But Mason says that so far they have only been able to produce small amounts of it in potatoes. Although a vaccine already exists against hepatitis B, a cheaper plant version could make mass immunisation(群众性免疫) possible. One problem with growing potatoes to produce vaccines is that cooking tends to destroy the protein component of the vaccine, so they must be eaten raw. Mason thinks that bananas may be a better option. "One banana could potentially produce a whole host of different vaccines," says Mason.The purpose of this text is_。A. to prove that doctors dont like vegetablesB. to amuse the reader by telling some funny thingsC. to describe how vegetables can grow vaccines for their own useD. to tell the reader about a cheaper way of growing vaccines8.Saving Money Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for.
