A

I decided to go back to school in the fall of 2008 after not being happy with my current job and financial status. I obtained my Associate’s Degree in May 2002 in Commercial Arts. After graduation, I had trouble obtaining a job in that field. For years, I was going from one job to another feeling unfilled, and I was not satiied with the instability. I decided to go back to school for either International Business or Psychology. I weighed the pros and cons of both professions and Psychology won. I like helping my friends and family, when they go through hard situations in their life by giving them sound advice and being honest with them. Also, I was interested in “the mind”. I was searching for online schools because my work schedule at my current job would not allow me to attend a regular class. I was nervous about starting online classes because I heard mixed stories from other friends who were taking online classes. I decided to do it anyway to experience something different. I wanted to find an online school that was affordable and reputable. Through my search, I discovered Walden University, which is specially for working adults who want to obtain a bachelor’s degree or higher. The process of getting accepted was easy, which included writing an essay on why I wanted to attend their school, tranerring my previous credits, etc. I am currently enrolled in the Bachelors program for psychology, and I am paying for college via financial-aid loans and grants. This experience has been interesting yet trying as sometimes it was difficult to balance work, school and home life. I learned a lot about psychology and myself. For example, I like writing about current events, relationships and traveling. I thought my English composition was ordinary, but after taking a few classes at Walden University, I improved my English composition and it made me feel confident enough to start writing professionally so I became a freelance (自由撰稿) writer. Currently, I am only three classes away from obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology! It was one of the best decisions I made in my life.[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]

Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age. The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age. “We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. “Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.” What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s. “This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink. The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

31. The underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “________”.

A. health B. long life C. ageing D. effect

B. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat

C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age

D. women never lose their pumping power with age

34. If you want to live longer, you should ________.

A. enable your heart to beat much faster B. find out the reason for ageing

C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy D. prevent your cells from being lost

35. We can know from the passage that ________.

EDGEWOOD-Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district's first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs. Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries. By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks. "Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good," Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher. The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers. Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia. Not that it was easy. Chevalier's first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content? Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines. The whole school has joined in to help. Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.

36. What is the text mainly about?

A. A best-selling coffee. B. A special educational program.

C. Government support for schools. D. A new type of teacher-student relationship.

37. The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to _____.

A. raise money for school affairs B. do some research on nutrition

C. develop students' practical skills D. supply teachers with drinks

38. How did Christy McKinley know Ms. Schatzman's opinion of the chi tea?

A. She met her in the shop. B. She heard her telling others.

C. She talked to her on the phone. D. She went to her office to deliver the tea.

39. We know from the text that Ginger Gray _____.

A. manages the Dixie P1T program in Kenton County B. sees that the drinks meet health standards

C. teaches at Dixie Heights High School D. owns the school's coffee shop

40. Where can we usually read this passage？

A. In a novel. B. In a newspaper. C. In an instant message. D. In a school report.

Anger is good for you, as long as you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier.

"Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger," said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. "The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses." Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry because the researchers were interrupting them. Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust. Other researchers recorded the students' blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress hormone (荷尔蒙) called cortisol. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes (糖尿病), heart disease, depression and extra weight gain. When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study. "Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is maddening (令人发狂的) situation," Lerner said. Lerner previously studied Americans' emotional response to the 911 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It's a healthier response than fear.

41. Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?

A. It's better to be angry than to be frightened.

B. Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life.

C. Don't control your anger and it makes you powerful.

D. Pessimistic people are generally healthier than optimistic people.

42. What does the underlined word "both" refer to according to the passage?

A. Fear and anger. B. Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.

C. Blood pressure and pulse. D. Blood pressure and cortisone.

43. The researchers made the experimented students angry by ______.

A. recording their performance secretly B. asking them to count to 6,200 again and again

C. disturbing them and making them start all over again D. criticizing them when they made mistakes

44. In what way can anger be beneficial to people?

A. By showing their optimistic side. B. By reducing their stress.

C. By reducing high blood pressure. D. By taking the place of fear.

45. What is the story mainly about?

A. The findings of new psychology research. B. What you can do with anger in certain cases.

C. Different effects produced by anger and fear. D. Healthier responses in maddening situations.

This November, I turn 26. This will be my third birthday as a wife. My husband doesn’t like parties nor does he remember the birthdays of his family members, including his own birthday! And he always refuses the idea of celebrating birthdays. For him it is only a waste of money and time! For me, celebrating a birthday is not a big deal as long as somebody remembers my birthday and says “happy birthday” to me, which will make my day brighter. And I’m sure my parents will call me and say these words, but not my husband. In my heart I still hope that he will remember my birthday. Until now, I only remember cebelebrating my birthday twice. The first time was when I turn 12 years old. I treated my close friends to a meal in the school canteen. But I will always remember my 17th birthday. It seemed that nobody in my class talked about my birthday that day. I thought there would be no celebrating so I felt unhappy.
