As years went by, I realized that one of the biggest problems of adults was worry. A large majority of my students were businessmen, executives, salesmen, engineers, accountants: a cross section of all the trades and professions and most of them had problems! There were women in the classes business women and housewives. They too had problems. Clearly, what I needed was a textbook on how to conquer worry. So again, I tried to find one. I went to the New York great public library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street and discovered to my astonishment that this library had only twenty-two books listed under the title WORRY. I also noticed, to my amusement, that it had one hundred and eighty-nine books listed under WORMS. Almost nine times as many books about worms as about worry! Surprising, isn't it? Since worry is one of the biggest problems facing mankind, you would think, wouldn't you, that every high school and college in the land would give a course on “How to Stop Worrying”? Yet, if there is even one course on that subject in any college in the land, I have never heard of it. No wonder David Seabury said in his book How to Worry Successfully: “We come to maturity with as little preparation for the pressures of experience as a bookworm asked to do a ballet.” The result? More than half of our hospital beds are all occupied by people with nervous and emotional troubles. I looked over those twenty-two books on worry on the shelves of the New York Public Library. In addition, I purchased all the books on worry I could find; yet I couldn't discover even one that I could use as a text in my course for adults. So I decided to write one by myself. 【1】What made the writer realize one of the adults’ biggest problems? A. His wide reading. B. His practical survey. C. His students’ real situation. D. His scientific research. 【2】The writer went to New York's great public library with the purpose of________. A. getting a book for his teaching B. finding some material for his new book C. obtaining some information for his research D. borrowing some books on worms for his students 【3】What do David Seabury’s words in paragraph 3 show? A. Worry is extremely common. B. We lack knowledge of worry. C. We show no interest in worry. D. Worry can hardly be controlled. 【4】What's the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To warn us of the possible danger of worry. B. To persuade us to get rid of worry. C. To explain why he wanted to write a book on worry. D. To tell us how to conquer worry. |

Humans’ invention of zero was vital for modern mathematics and science, but we’re not the only species to consider “nothing” a number. Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too. Honey bees are known to have some numerical skills such as the ability to count to four, which may come in handy when keeping track of landmarks in their environment. To see whether these abilities extended to understanding zero, researchers trained 10 bees to identify the smaller of two numbers. Across a series of trials, they showed the insects two different pictures displaying a few black shapes on a white background. If the bees flew to the picture with the smaller number of shapes, they were given delicious sugar water, but if they flew toward the larger number, they were punished with bitter-tasting food. Once the bees had learned to consistently make the correct choice, the researchers gave them a new choice: a white background containing no shapes at all. Even though the bees had never seen an empty picture before, 64% of the time they chose it rather than a picture containing two or three shapes, the authors report today in Science. This suggests that the insects understood that “zero” is less than two or three. And they weren’t just going for the empty picture because it was new and interesting. Another group of bees trained to always choose the larger number tended to pick the nonzero image in this test. In further experiments, the researchers showed that bees’ understanding of zero was even more complex: for example, they were able to distinguish between one and zero-a challenge even for some other members of the zero club. Advanced numerical abilities like this could give animals an evolutionary advantage, helping them keep track of predators（捕食者）and food sources. And if an insect can display such a thorough grasp of the number zero, write the researchers, then this ability may be more common in the animal kingdom than we think. 【1】According to the trials, the researchers have found that bees ________. A. have the same intelligence as parrots and monkeys B. can count many numbers after being trained C. can identify the smaller number quickly D. understand the concept of zero 【2】The researchers trained another group of bees to ________ . A. confirm the bees are able to identify the smaller number B. find the big difference between the two groups of bees C. prove the bees are interested in new things D. show the bees can be distinguished easily 【3】What do the researchers suggest in further experiments? A. Bees should be trained more. B. Numerical abilities could help predators find bees. C. Insects are better at understanding zero than animals. D. Animals may display a thorough grasp of the number zero. 【4】What is the best the title for the text? A. New Findings About Bees’ Concept of Zero B. Experients on Bees’ Numerical Skills C. Complex Trials About the Zero Club D. A Science Report of the Species of Bees |

短文改错 As is known to all of us, rain is of greatly importance to us. Without rain, our water supply would cut off and we would die, so would plants and animals. Therefore, too much rain does a lot of harm for us. It floods fields, towns and cities, cause us a great loss. So far, man’s control over rain had never stopped. If they can gain more effective control over rain, we will enjoy more freedom from the nature. Luckily, we humans have taken many step, such as planting more trees and using weather forecasts, what helps avoid flood damage and protect our water supply. |
