15、blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. APeople do many things to celebrate the coming of a New Year, an important one being making New Year Resolutions. Did you know that 45% of Americans make resolutions?But not many of 45 actually manage to keep them. Wondering how many of them actually f

16、ollow through with it by the end of January each year? Actually, just a meager 8%! Resolutions 46 be very hard to keep for many reasons. Some people find it hard to stay on track. Others make their goals too broad or challenging. Remember resolutions 47 (mean) to be small goals that will become habi

17、ts over time that will help your life positively, not big life-changing plans. According to USA.gov, some of the top resolutions made by folks are: *Lose weight *Volunteer to help others *Quit smoking *Get a better education * Get a better job *Save money *Get fit *Eat healthy food *Manage stress *M

18、anage debt *Take a trip *Reduce, Reuse and RecycleDid you notice that resolutions are always 48 making positive changes? We humans recognize that health is the 49 (big) wealth for us all. The resolves to be healthy, eat well and exercise are naturally among the most popular. Yet they are some of the

19、 hardest goals to keep.Thats why you should keep your goals realistic. Cut back on soda 50 50 eliminate it completely. Make notebook entries of what you are aiming for, and track your progress. Write yourself reminders such as : Read for half an hour”, “No more than 125 minutes on social media!”, “d

20、ont eat too much salt, sugar and fat”, as examples. Take small steps to reach your final goal.Can you challenge yourself to be part of the 45% who make resolutions and grow the number of those who make it stick from 8%? 51 51 you are not the type who makes New Year resolutions, try to practice one h

21、ealthy eating habit this year. You will be doing 52 a favor, for it is your body after all. BWhy Cant You Tickle YourselfHave you ever thought about why people are ticklish(怕痒的)?According to scientists, ticklishness is a defense mechanism humans develop against bugs, spiders, and other critters that

22、 may be touching our skin. Feeling ticklish is our built-in response to predators or threats, and combines the sensations of touch and pain. The part of the brain that is associated with tickling is the cerebellum(小脑). It monitors our movements, 53 ignores movements not perceived as a threat. For ex

23、ample, we do not notice our vocal chords(声带) 54 (move) when we speak, but we may jump if someone touches us on 55 shoulder. This selective perception is probably the reason why we cannot tickle ourselves.We only feel ticklish if we detect a sense of invasion or attack. If we try to tickle ourselves,

24、 our brains anticipate this “attack” and prevent us from feeling panicked. Strangely enough, even if a person knows that they are about 56 (tickle), the fear of being touched may cause the same “ticklish” reaction. Some people laugh even before being tickled.A scientific study was recently done in E

25、ngland to determine whether or not people can tickle themselves. Volunteers 57 (attach) to a brain-scanning device and were tickled on their palms with a piece of soft foam(泡沫). The participants brain scans were monitored while they were being tickled, and when they tickled themselves. It was found

26、that during self-tickling, the cerebellum alerted another area of the brain about 58 to expect, so the ticklish feeling was diminished. Researchers did find a way, however, for people to tickle themselves. When volunteers activated a robot by remote control to tickle them after a short delay, the vo

27、lunteers felt 59 59 someone else were tickling them. It seems that the cerebellum sends a signal to disregard the forthcoming movement, then moves on to other things. Your brain “forgets” that you are tickling yourself-even with a delay as short as 60 fifth of a second. So it is possible to tickle y

28、ourself- but only by remote control. What will science discover next?Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. comfortable B. operating C. taking D. enthusiasmE. identified F.

29、shaped G. means H. digitalI. screen J. accesses K. typicalEvery morning, 21-year-old A.J. Hunter downloads his schedule onto his always-at-hand Macintosh laptop. Hunter is a 61 technical college student. He downloads music to his iPod and 62 social networking sites from his cell phone. He uses e-mai

30、l and instant messaging anywhere on the wireless campus. Hunter is a (n) “ 63 native”- a term that has been used to describe the first generation who grew up in a world filled with computers, cell phones and cable TV. These young people think, act and react much differently from how their parents an

31、d grandparents did, often because their childhoods were in large part 64 by technology, say researchers. “This is so core to their social experience- to their identities to what it 65 to be a young person and a student in the new century,” says educational technology expert Richard Katz. But just be

32、cause young people are 66 with technology, that doesnt mean its always beneficial. Some experts worry that technology is 67 over the lives of todays youth. When his desktop computer crashed during the first week of classes, “I thought I was going to go mad,” says senior Nick Caine. “I was running to

33、 the library every two seconds. I didnt even go home because I knew I wouldnt have a computer.”There are other negative sides of too much 68 time. A recent study found that nearly 20 percent of students admit that time spent on the Internet and playing computer games resulted in low grades or droppi

34、ng a class. Technology author Michael Bugeja questions the recent extreme 69 toward technology: “Not only are the students addicted - the institutions of learning are addicted,” he says. “No one is studying its impact, and we are still 70 as if more access to technology is going to improve learning.

36、cal perfection. My life became different, as I changed from an acceptable attractive woman to an object of pity and 71 . Too busy 72 physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was determined to 73 , feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved

37、 forward. 74 , as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall-a 75 survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude 76 as I discovered that others di

38、d not view me in the way I had come to view myself. All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to 77 my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers 78 held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless Y

39、ou!” with 79 in their eyes.While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed 80 at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, and she innocently asked, “Lady, where did you legs go?”I explained that my legs h

40、ad been sick. Since my legs hadnt been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to 81 them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to leg Heaven?”That incident made me think about how 82 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosi

41、ty and a 83 learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been 84 of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee. To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye c
