10、 do you open your mouth wide and take a deep breath? Well, a scientist at the University of Maryland is searching for the answer.Professor Robert Provine has been studying yawning for the past two years. But he says he still does not know 16 people yawn. In fact, no one seems to know much about it.

In the rooms, they watched television programs, or pictures of people yawning. Or they just sat and 18 (think) about yawning. Students also kept records of when they

12、 yawned throughout the day.The professor says he has learned 19 number of things from these experiments. He says yawning seems linked in some way to sleeping.

However, in the past four

16、 years the job market has changed greatly. This years college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting lai

17、d off and dont have jobs, so its even harder for new college graduates to find jobs. Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insur

18、ance(保险) and paid vacations. However, Times have changed and its a new market, according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center. The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they

19、ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines

20、(下降) in starting salaries. Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. F

24、. salaries in some fields have increased in the past yearD. the job market has changed greatly over the past four years BObviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. Wit

25、h a TV set in the family people dont have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The te

26、levision viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice, does no exercises, and makes no judgment. He is completely passive （被动的）and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one i

27、nformed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into ones sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much mor

28、e real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have brok

29、en down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesnt it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is

30、 the uses that determine its value to society.( )31. The main function of paragraph 1 is to _. A. introduce the theme of the whole passage B. summarize the whole passage C. arouse the readers interest D. state the primary uses of TV( )32. Television, as a source of entertainment, is _.

A. where we buy it B. how we think about it C. how we make use of it D. where we make use of itCWhat will man be like in the futur

33、ein 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, me

34、n are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we

35、 shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and

36、we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are

37、used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be

38、 a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.( ) 36. The passage mainly tells us that_. A. mans life will b

39、e different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from us C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. the functions of mans organs(器官) will function as well as today( ) 37. Which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Mans hair is getting thinner and

40、 thinner.B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. C. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years. D. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.( ) 38. The change in mans size of forehead is probably because_ A. he makes use of only 20 % of the brains capacity. B. the other

41、80% of his brain will grow in due（预定的） time.C. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.( ) 39. Which of the following is true about a human being in the future? A. He thinks and feels in different way.B. He has smaller eyes and wears

42、better glasses.C. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt use them.( ) 40. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. future life is always predictable（可预测的）B. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeC. human beings will become less at

43、tractive in the futureD. Less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（衰退）DI sit at my kitchen table, while my daughter, Anna, sits next to my mother. On the wall hangs a photo of my father.“When is Rick going to be here?” My mother asks, referring to my husband.“I dont know, Mom,” I answe

44、r patiently. “Hell be here for dinner.”I sigh and get up from the table. This is at least the tenth time she has asked that question.While my mother and daughter play, I busy myself making a salad.“Dont put in any onions,” Mom says. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”“Yes, Mom,” I answer.I scrub(洗擦) o

45、ff a carrot and chop it into bite-size pieces.“Dont put any onions in the salad,” she reminds me. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”This time I cant answer.My mother had been beautiful. She still is. In fact, my mother is still everything she has been,just a bit forgetful.I cut off the end of the cuc

46、umber and rub it to take away the bitterness. Cut and rub. This is a trick I have learned from my mother, along with a trillion other things: cooking, sewing, dating, laughing, thinking. I learned how to grow up. And I learned that when my mother was around, I never had to be afraid. So why am I afraid now?I study my mothers hands. Her nails are no longer a bright red, but painted a light pink. Almost no color at all. And as I stare at them, I re
