18、ow was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didnt play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when

19、, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mothers perfume (香水).Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. I

20、nstead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boys mind seemed to come alive. The more she encourage him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a n

21、ote from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D. (医学博士).The story doesnt end there. On

22、 his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompsons ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught m

26、unding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queens Christmas broadcasts had found. Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.Jonathan Harrington, a p

27、rofessor at Germanys University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.He said the noble way of pronounc

28、ing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we dont notice from year to year.”“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social

29、 classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been hears saying thet men in the bleck het. Now it would be that man in the black hat. And hame rather than home. In the 1950s she would have been lorst, but by the 1970s lost.”The Queens broadcast is a personal me

30、ssage to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch (传统火鸡午餐).The results were published (发表) in the Journal of Phonetics.45.

The relationship between accents and social classes.B. The Queens Christmas speeches on TV. C. The changes in

33、 a persons accent.D. The recent development of the English language.CDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, “I

34、just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser!He

35、 didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs

36、 and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents (对手) says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” thats true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertis

37、ers (广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors a

41、d lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.The Imperial College London researchers who published their results on

42、line said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful (有害的) it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.Ten healthy volunteers (志愿者

43、) were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the

44、 medicine are stopping coughs.The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin need to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher levers of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the

45、 placebo.The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a verve activity (神经活动), which cause coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.53. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine _.A. cannot be as effective as codeine B. can be harmful to peoples healthC. cannot be separated from chocolate D. can be a more effective cure for coughs
