   “Dad,” I say one day, “let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly out and meet me?”

My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.

My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.

He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.

“ What is our first stop?” asks my father.

“What time is it?”

“Still don’t have a watch?”

Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.

“Unbelievable,” he says, “How was this done?”

A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture(雕塑) and then left the final touches to his son.

We stare up and I ask myself, Would I ever devote my life to anything?

No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.

The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.

“Did you ever travel with your dad?” I ask.

“Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each otherbut never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”

That last sentenceit’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.

In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world, I can keep traveling, I realize--- and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.

Weeks after our trip, I call my father.

“The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “We’ve got to take another trip like that sometime.”

I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.

The human body is an amazing and complex machine. It is very tough, and we usually recover from illness or injury on our own, without the help of a doctor. But what happens when we need medical treatment? In the past, some people went to a clinic or hospital to see a medical doctor. Other people trusted ancient traditions and chose treatments such as herbal(药草的) medicine or acupuncture(针灸). These two types of medicine----one modern and Western and the other ancient and Eastern----used to have nothing to do with each other.

In recent years, however, people around the world have begun to recognize and accept both modern medical science and more traditional therapies. This new kind of medicine can be called integrative medicine (because it integrates, or combines, different types of medicine), or complementary medicine. Some of the principles of this type of medicine include preventing illness by helping people stay healthy, integrating different types of therapies according to the needs of each patient, and considering the health of the whole person rather than concentrating on a particular illness or injury.

One health maintenance organization (HMO) in Madison, Wisconsin, has opened its Complementary Medicine and Wellness Center. At the center, HMO members are offered a variety of services. If you are suffering a sore back, try some massage treatments to relax your muscles and encourage the flow of healing energy in your body. If you have allergies or asthma, you could try homeopathy, which uses tiny amounts of allergens to stimulate your body’s natural immune response. And if you’re not ill, but just want to improve your strength and focus your mind, try a tai chi or yoga class.

Patients who use these complementary medicine services appreciate having an alternative to surgery or to drugs and their side effects. They also enjoy activities and therapies that make them feel better even if they’re not sick. And from the financial point of view of the HMO, preventing illness whenever possible is much less expensive than a hospital stay.

According to Dr. Andrew Weil, founder of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, integrative medicine combines the best parts of Western medicine with complementary therapies such as acupuncture and nutrition. And because both doctor and patient are working to prevent illness, they become partners with the same goal instead of strangers who see each other only when the patient is sick.

71. The article is about____________.

A. Western medicine                                    B. acupuncture and herbal medicine

C. advances in medical technology                D. integrative medicine

72. Why does the author mention “preventing illness by helping people stay healthy” in the second paragraph?

A. to inform readers about a principle of integrative medicine

B. to explain why most people don’t believe in integrative medicine

C. to give readers advice about staying healthy

D. to recommend modern medicine rather than traditional therapies

73. What would be an example of integrative medicine?

A. taking penicillin for a headache

B. performing surgery to treat heart disease

C. acupuncture

D. using herbal treatments after surgery

74. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of complementary medicine?

A. It costs less than medical care in hospitals.

B. Patients can choose between complementary medicine and drugs or surgery.

C. It helps patients feel healthier even when they are not sick.

D. It focuses mainly on a particular illness or injury.

Cathy is a tetraplegic. She has not been able to move her arms, legs or speak since suffering a stroke(中风)nearly fifteen years ago. Recently, she learned how to control a robotic arm using her thoughts. She now can use brain activity to serve herself a drink.

The American woman is one of two people who took part in a research project known as BrainGate2. The researchers have spent years studying how to help people who are disabled regain movement in their arms and legs.

John Donoghue is a neuroscientist with Brown University and also was part of the project. He said, “People like Cathy have their brain disconnected from their body. So they are not able to go out and do everyday things that you and I can do, like reach for a glass of water or scratch your nose. Our idea is to avoid that damaged nervous system and go directly from the brain to the outside world, so the brain signals can, not control muscles, but control machines or devices like a computer or a robotic arm.”

The two disabled people had small sensors connected to the part of the brain that controls movement. The devices measured brain activity and sent that information to a computer. The computer has special software that turns the information into digital commands for operating other devices. The researchers used a highly developed robotic arm to recreate human actions

The BrainGate team had its first success in 2006. A tetraplegic stabbing victim was able to use the brain—computer system to control a computer mouse. John says the latest development using robotic arms is a major victory.

A video of the latest experiment shows Cathy using the robotic arm to pick up a cup of coffee. She guides the cup toward her mouth, moves it forward and drinks through a straw.

Lead researcher Leigh Hochberg said the first time she did it was a magic moment.

The research team carried out almost 200 tests with two different robotic arms, which were able to pick up their target objects 43 to 66of the time.

The researchers are calling the information very promising. But they say it will take years to fully develop the technology for everyday use.

75.What kind of symptoms may a tetraplegic have?

A. He/She may suffer from amnesia and a loss of concentration.

B. His /Her part of body may become sore and swollen.

C. He/She may get frequent headaches or backaches.

D. He/She can’t move his/her arms or legs and has no ability to speak.

76. How does the robotic arm work?

A. brain signals     small sensors     muscle    a robot arm

B. brain signals     the nervous system     muscle    a robot arm

C. brain signals     small sensors     a computer     a robot arm

D. brain signals     the nervous system      a computer      a robot arm  

77. What can we know from this passage?

    AThe technology had been put into use before 2006.

    BIt won’t be long before the technology comes into daily use

CThe two robotic arms couldn't pick up their target objects

  D. Quite a few experiments have been conducted for the technology

78. What's the purpose of the research project?

    ATo help the disabled people to move and speak

    BTo help the brain-computer system to control a computer mouse

    CTo help the disabled people use brain activity to serve themselves a drink

    DTo help the disabled people to get movement like having their arms and legs again

 Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. ________79________ Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:

1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? ________80________

2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? ________81________ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3.  ________82________ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives a good start. _______83________ And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A. Try new things.

B. Ability is easily improved.

C. Make three or four instead.

D. Understand your food better.

E. Cooking is a burden for many people.

F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

My friend Nick told me story about his experience back in the US., that is very interesting. One day he was having a yard sale and the old man living next door come by to help. As the old man looked over the things on the yard that was to be sold, he stopped at a box of golden balls for Christmas trees. On the box was a card say: “25 cents each.” “You will never sell these for that much” he told Nick. Convincing, Nick has brought the price up to 10 cents a piece.
