If Mickey Mouse slips (滑倒)on a banana skin on TV, viewers laugh. But for ordinary people, falling is not 36 . For example, if you 37 over a stone or fall off your bike, you have to take days to get well. For 38 people, the result of a fall could be worse.
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, USA, wanted to know why some people are 39 likely to fall than others.
The researchers found that 40 means more than planting your feet on the ground and standing tall. Your brain 41 your sense of balance with information from your eyes and inner ears and the 42 from your feet and legs. If something goes wrong with any of these, you’re 43 to fall. People 44 to fall more often as they grow older because their senses are slower.
State of mind is important too. The research shows that when people know they’re walking on a slippery surface, they 45 their pace and walk with flatter feet. As a result, they fall less often.
“We actually 46 people slip and fall,” researcher Mark Redfern said. People of different ages fall on 47 in his lab. Cameras 48 their falls and a computer analyzes the information. Scientists then can 49 people who fall often how to be more watchful.
“If they get 50 to a lifelike but controlled environment, people can 51 learn to handle the 52 thing,” Redfern said.
Falls happen to everyone sometimes. 53 you see someone fall, think about why and offer a helping 54 . This person’s painful experience may 55 you from falling at the same place.

Some beach creatures are wonderful—like dolphins, but others are dangerous. Find out more about the dangerous ones –puffer fish, blue ringed octopus, and stingrays.
The blue ringed octopusThe blue ringed octopus is not a very big creature but it is very dangerous.
These octopuses are found all around the coast of Australia. They often lie in rock pools close to shore.
The blue ringed octopus is usually a dull colour but it shows its bright blue rings when it is in danger. If it is taken out of the water by someone, it is able to bite him and poison him.

Blue Bottles are much less dangerous than some other jellyfish, but they can give a swimmer a bad sting(刺) if the swimmer accidentally touches them.
StingraysThere are many different kinds of stingrays in Australian waters. They usually swim and feed on the bottom of the sea. Accidents can happen if people stand on them or try to pick them up.

Self—employed private doctors who charge a fee each patient’s visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most doctors have contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. They send their patients to this hospital，which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities (operation room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or a government agency. Others are operated by religious orders (教会)or other non—profit groups.
Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried doctors may work as hospital staff (员工)members, or residents, who are often still in training . They may teach in medical schools, or be hired by corporations to care for their workers to work for the government’s Public Health Service.
Doctors are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Doctors list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a doctor in the United States. Most would—be doctors first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Then they attend medical school for four years. Tuition(学费)alone can more than $10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young doctors are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in hospital, the first year as an assistant. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.
Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several doctors will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These doctors also take care of each other’s patients in emergencies.
Doctors work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite practiced many times, still involve risk. It is understandable that doctors want to be well—paid for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.
1.According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by ________.
A．a church .com B．a corporation C．a city D．a state
2.The expenses for becoming a doctor are mainly spent on ________.
A．schooling and retraining B．practice in a hospital
C．facilities he or she uses D．education he or she receives
3.Sometimes several doctors set up a group medical practice mainly because ________.
A．it’s difficult for one doctor to take care of too many patients
B．they can take turns to work for long hours
C．facilities may be too much of burden for one doctor to shoulder
D．no one wants to take too much responsibility
4.The statement that fully expresses the author’s view towards US doctors’ payment is that ________ .
A．they deserve a very good payment for their expensive education and their responsibility
B．it is reasonable for doctors to have a large income because their work is dangerous
C．doctors should be better paid because they work long hours in bad conditions
D．doctors have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well paid

You can make the difference between this … and this. But how?
This summer, join the International Conservation (环境保护)Scouts on a fun—filled holiday with a difference. Year after year, young people from all around the world get together at one of our sixteen conservation camps. Their shared aim is to help protect the countryside and its wildlife.
Many animals and plants are in danger of disappearing forever. The dormouse, a kind of mouse, for example, needs woodland plants for food and trees to stay in. Its habitat is being destroyed by man and it needs our help to survive.

Because of this you don’t need any experience, just energy and enthusiasm(热情). You will explore the countryside and work to ensure the survival of hundreds of animals and plants and still have plenty of time to enjoy the camp’s excellent sport games and organized nature paths through beautiful scenery.

Experts say the American state of Hawaii has been invaded (入侵)by a small frog called the coqui (ko--kee). There may be millions of the small frogs in Hawaii. However, they do not belong there. They are normally found in the southeastern United States. The coqui frogs are harming Hawaii’s environment. And the extremely loud noise they make is causing problems for Hawaiian citizens and visitors.
The coqui invaders arrived in Hawaii about ten years ago. They were believed to have been brought in accidentally in shipments of plants from Florida. Their number has sharply increased. They have quickly spread around the Hawaii Islands hidden in plants.
The coqui is a brown frog about five centimeters long. During the day, the frogs hide in wet protected areas, such as under plant leaves. At night, the frogs move onto trees to feed, call to females and mates. The call of the male coqui sounds like. Ko kee! Ko kee!
In the southeastern United States, local people celebrate coqui frogs. But in Hawaii, the foreign frog has been considered as a harmful animal. The coqui frogs are a major danger to Hawaii’s environmental system. The frogs eat thousands of insects (昆虫)every night. These insects are important for the reproduction of plants. The insects also are important food for Hawaii’s native rare birds. The frogs also are affecting the tourism industry in Hawaii. Increasing numbers of hotels, visitors and local people have been annoyed by the loud calls made by male coqui frogs to female frogs. At night, the noise often makes it difficult for people to sleep.
The frogs do not have any natural enemies in Hawaii to reduce their population size. The warm weather permits them to lay eggs all year long. There are many efforts in Hawaii designed to stop the spread of the coqui. It is a crime to transport ,sell or release(释放)the frogs there.
The Hawaii Department of Agriculture is trying to find an effective chemical that can be safely used to kill the frogs. For now, the frogs may only be caught by hand. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture says the greatest danger to the economy and environment of the state is from harmful species, like the coqui.
1.The statement that can best summarize the main idea of the passage is ________.
A．the coqui invaders have seriously affected the tourism industry in Hawaii
B．it is not permitted to transport, sell or release the coqui frogs in Hawaii
C．the coqui invasion has serious effects on the economy and environment in Hawaii
D．great efforts have been made by the Hawaii people to kill the coqui
2.The coqui frogs originally arrived in Hawaii ________.
A．by chance B．at the request of all the local citizens
C．as a gift D．as goods demanded in the local market
3.Visitors to Hawaii don’t like the coqui frogs mainly because ________.
A．they are a big danger to the environmental system there
B．the loud noise made by the frogs bother their rest at night
C．they affect the reproduction of the local plants and insects
D．visitors could no longer see the native rare birds because of them
4.The two factors leading to the rapid spread of coqui frogs in Hawaii are ________.
A．the frogs’ habit and the environment in Hawaii
B．the large number of the insects and the plants in Hawaii
C．the geographic location of Hawaii and its tourism industry
D．the warm weather there and the frogs’ lack of natural enemies
