one million.6,some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another,whileothers are sensitive to the smells of both flowers.This may be because some people do not havethe genes necessary to generate 7 smell receptors in the nose.These receptors are the cellswhich sense smells and send 8 to the brain.However,it has been found that even peopleinsensitive to a certain smell at first can suddenly become sensitive to it when 9 to it oftenenough.The 10 for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it 11 to keep all smellreceptors working all the time but can 12 new receptors if necessary.This may also explainwhy we are not usually sensitive to our own smells we simply do not need to be.We are not 13of the usual smell of our own house but we 14 new smells when we visit someone elses.The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors _ j 5 for unfamiliar and emergency signals suchas the smell of smoke,which might indicate the danger of

Plato.Self-control is at the root of all the advantages.Let aman give in to his impulses(冲动)and feelings,and from that moment he gives up his moralfreedom.A single angry word has lost many a friend.When Socrates found in himself any temper oranger,he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself.If you are conscious of beingangry,keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger.Many a person has droppeddead in great anger.Fits of anger bring fits of disease.Whom the gods would destroy ihey firstmake mad.Keep cool,says George Herbert,for fierceness(狂怒)makes error a fault.To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself.Anger,saysPythagoras,brings with folly(愚蠢)and ends with regret.You must measure the strength of a manby the power of the feelings he conquers,not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is mans last greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything.Without it he can have no patience,nopower to govern himself;he can have no self-confidence,for he will always be controlled by hisstrongest feeling.If he lacks self-control,the very backbone and nerve of character are

can show a lot.CAT scans can show even more.They can give acomplete view of body organs.What is a CAT scan?CAT stands for a kind of machine.It is a special X-ray machine thatgets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patients body.Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body,X rays canfind a foreign obiecl inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed.A CAT scanner,however,uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional(横截面)view of aspecific part of the body.A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patientfrom many different directions.A computer studies the information from each direction andproduces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen.This picture is then photographed for later use.Several cross sections,taken one after another,can give clear“photos“of the entire body or of anybody organs.The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active,moving organs,justas a fast-action camera can“stop the action”,giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to theeye.And because of the 360-degree pictures,CAT scans show clear and complete views of organsin a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin bums,cancer or other damage to the body.Yet CAT scans actually dont cause the patient to more radiation than regular X rays do.CATscans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient,so they are less riskythan regular X rays.CAT scans provide exact,detailed information.They can quickly find such a thing as bleedinginside the brain.They are helping to save lives.41.What is NOT true of a CAT scan?A.It is safer than regular X rays.B.It makes use of computer techniques.C.It can stop the action of an organ for a short time.D.It gives clear pictures of active,moving body parts.42.The underlined words ua foreign objecf,(Para 3)most probably refer to.A.a
