Whatever our differences as human beings are, we all think we’re more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 per cent of our genetic（遗传的）structure with the simple worm.

But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome（染色体组）.

To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode（线虫类的）worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and what can be done to make it better.

What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of cells in the human body is programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up.

Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed. When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.

1.Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has 　　　　 .

A．found that human beings are similar to the worm

B．got the fact we share 40 per cent of our genetic structure with the simple worm

C．found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human body

D．proved that cell death is programmed

2.People might be seriously ill if the cells in their body 　　　　 .

A．grow without being instructed

B．die regularly

C．fail to follow people’s instructions

D．develop in the human body

3.The underlined word “they” (paragraph 5) refers to 　　　　 .

A．cell deaths B．diseases C．instructions D．cells

4.What is the subject discussed in the text?

A．The theory of programmed cell deaths.

B．A great scientist—Sir John Sulston.

C．The programmed human life.

D．Dangerous diseases.

Several days ago, a Beijing - based IT company fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift - the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”.

The book - a bestseller in the US - is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca- Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.

Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood - our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well.

With China’s official entry into WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges. So what should we do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved?

“Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely” Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.

Professor Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”

“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese. ”Zhang smiled confidently.

Babies are not just passing idle time when they stare goggle-eyed at the television—they are actually learning about the world, U.S. researchers said. Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television , based on the study, said Donna Mumme, assistant professor of psychology at Tufts University in Boston, who led the research. “Children as young as 12 months are making decisions based on the emotional(情感的)reactions of adults around them,” Mumme said in a statement. “It turns out they can also use emotional information they pick up from television. This means that adults might want to think twice before they speak in a loud and harsh voice or let a baby see television programs meant for information about the world. A mother urging her baby to eat some　 “yummy” soup or a brother crying in fear when a dog approaches can influence a baby’s reaction. Mumme’s team tested babies to determine. If television has the same influence, showing actors reacting on a videotape to objects such as red spiral letter holder, a blue bumpy ball, and a yellow garden hose attachment. Babies aged 10 months or 12 months were later given the same objects to play with. Ten-month-olds did not seem to be influenced by the video but the 1-year-olds were. When the actors acted neutrally or positively to an object, the babies happily played with them. But if the actor had seemed afraid or disgusted, the babies would avoid the object.

1.Psychology is the study of　 　　　　　　　　 .

A．human’s society and its growth

B．human’s hopes had dreams

C．human’s mind and behaviors

D．human’s languages and cultures

2.Which of the following is Mumme’s conclusion?

A．Small babies should not be allowed to watch television programs.

B．Adults need to think twice before they act in front of small babies.

C．TV programs provide small babies with all the information they need.

D．One-year-olds can be emotionally influenced by TV programs.

3.Mumme reached his conclusion by 　　　　　　　 .

A．measuring the time babies spent in front of TV.

B．making TV programs and advertisements for kids.

C．showing actors how to react to blue bumpy balls

D．observing small babies’ reactions to TV programs

4.Which of the following may the study lead to according to the researchers?

A．Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television.

B．Actors may try to behave themselves well in front of babies.

C．Babies may be allowed to choose what they see on TV.

First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2.__ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
