As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared(害怕) him and felt bitter about him He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as “successful as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling worried.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe.

Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained. “We dont get sick or stay well by ourselves, says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. Ferrers research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.49. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.B. Because her parents used to quarrel.C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.50. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.51. The underlined word “coma in Paragraph2 probably means _.A. surprise B. faint C. tirednessD. sadness52. The best title for this passage is _.A. Family relations. B. The reasons why we get sick.C. Family- another cause to health D. A research about health.DBill Gates was born on October 28th, 1955. He and his two sisters grew up in Seattle. Their father, William H. Gates II, was a Seattle lawyer. Mary Gates, their late mother, was a school teacher.Gates attended public elementary school before moving on to the private Lakeside School in North Seattle. It was at Lakeside that Gates began his career in personal computer soft- ware, programming computers at age 13.In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, who is now Microsoft's president. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version (版本) of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer-the MITS Astair. In his junior year, Gates dropped out of Harvard to devote his energies full-time to Microsoft, a company he had started in 1975 with his boyhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the personal computer would be a valuable tool on every office desk-top and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers.Gates' foresight has led to the success of Microsoft and the software industry. He plays an important role in the technical development of new products. Much of his time is devoted to meeting with customers and staying in touch with Microsoft employees around the world through e-mail.In the dozen years since Microsoft went public, Gates has donated more than $ 800 million to charities (慈善机构), including $ 200 million to the Gates Library Foundation to help libraries in North America make use of new technologies and the Information Age. 53.

Why did he drop out of Harvard?A. To change school.B. To spend all his energies to Microsoft.C. To find a full-time job.D. To earn money.55. How does Gates spend much of his time?A. Meeting with people.B. Travelling around the world.C. E-mailing some friends.D. Meeting with customers and e-mailing Microsoft employees.56. What does the underlined word "donated" in the last paragraph mean?A. gave.B. earned.C. made.D. received.EWhat are you doing right now? Yes, you are reading this page. That also means youre moving your eyes. Youre thinking. Youre breathing. Youre listening. Possibly youre shifting(变换) positions. Youre also feeling things-this book, your chair, emotions. What lets you do all these things at the same time? Your brain.Your brain is the control center of your body and mind. Without your brain you cant do anything. Your brain has more than 100 billion nerve(神经) cells. Each nerve cell makes from 1,000 to 10,000 connections with other nerve cells. The nerve cells send impulses back and forth in your brain and to and from every part of your body. After you reach the age of 20, though, your brain cells start to die. This is common. However, if you suffer an illness, or injury, even more nerve cells die in your brain. When a nerve cell dies, the thousands of connections it made with other nerve cells are lost.Until recently, scientists believed that the brain did not replace its dead cells. New studies, however, prove not. Scientists have found new nerve cells in a part of the brain called the hippocampus(海马区). The hippocampus helps the brain form memories from new experiences.The discovery of these new nerve cells is not a cure for anything yet. It gives hope, however, of a cure for brain damage from such things as epilepsy(癫痫病), Lou Gehrigs disease, car accidents, and strokes. Someday scientists might be able to use the new cells to replace d
