Between the innocence of babyhood and seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.
Boys are found everywhere –--- on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to this and that! Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
When you are busy, a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.
A boy with mixture---he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superwoman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.
He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday morning, and fire engines. He is not much for girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.
Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-foot rope, six cents and some unknown things.
A boy is a magical creature----he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”

About 90 percent of Chinese believe the polarization（分化） between the rich and poor is “serious” in China, according to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily．And more than 80 percent of the respondents（对象） surveyed said something must be done to narrow the expanding gap between the rich and poor, while 14．1 percent said it was necessary．
The polarization has aroused wide concern among the public in recent years．The State Development and Reform Commission（国家发改委） said the Gini Coefficient had reached 0．47 for China, up from o．29 two decades ago．Usually, a country with a number above 0．4 is warned to pay attention to the income inequality problem．
To find out the people’s view, the survey covered 10,250 respondents, between the ages of 20 and 30 with a college education and a monthly salary between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan．Surprisingly, most disagreed with the view of experts who claim the urban-rural difference is causing the widening gap．More than 70 percent of the respondents believed that “ the group of special interests” is the prime reason for the polarization, followed by “people in power” 68 percent, and “bosses” 50 percent．
Another unexpected finding is that almost all agreed that a good educational background and knowledge were not the decisive factors in gaining wealth．About 95 percent said rich people are not necessarily those who are able to speak English or have a college education．
Today in China, rich people , accounting for 10 percent of the population, control 45 percent of the total social fortune, and poor people, also 10 percent of the population, only control 1．5 percent, according to an investigation published by the National Bureau of Statistics last June．
1.It can be inferred that the Gini Coefficient （ in paragraph 2） would probably be _____．
A．the unit used in advanced mathematics
B．the degree of a country’s development
C．the level of the citizen’s living standard
D．a measure of income inequality
2.Experts hold the view that the main reason for the polarization is _____．
A．the urban-rural difference B．the group of special interests
C．the people in power D．the bosses

A single night of taking the drug Ecstasy (摇头丸) can cause serious brain damage and speed up the start of Parkinson’s disease（帕金森综合症）, scientists say. Just two or three Ecstasy tablets can permanently destroy brain cells that affect movement and reasoning, according to American research that links the drug to Parkinson’s for the first time.
A study by a team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, involving squirrel monkeys and baboons (狒狒) found that both species suffered permanent damage to key cells, which are lost in Parkinson’s, after receiving three low doses（剂量）of Ecstasy at three-hour periods.
The study is particularly important because baboons are one of the best animal models for the human brain. George Ricaurte, who led the research, said that the widespread abuse of drug might have caused severe damage. “The most troubling result is that young adults using Ecstasy may be increasing their risk of developing Parkinsonism as they get older.”
Alan Leshner, a former director of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse, said, “This study emphasizes the multi-aspect damage that Ecstasy causes to users. We’ve long known that repeated use damages brain cells. But this study shows that even very occasional（偶尔） use can have long-lasting effects on many different brain systems. It sends an important message to young people: don’t experiment with your own brain.”
Janet Betts, a mother whose teenage daughter Leah died after a single Ecstasy tablet in 1995, said, “This comes as no surprise. But people can’t see the effects at first, and they say it won’t happen to them. We’ll see the symptoms later, just as we have with smoking.”
1.The article is intended to ______.
A．explain the bad effects of drugs on people’s health
B．warn young people of the risk of taking the drug Ecstasy
C．persuade people out of such bad habits as smoking and using drugs
D．tell us the links between the drug Ecstasy and the animal models
2.We know from the passage that a low dose of Ecstasy ______.
A．can permanently destroy one’s brain cells
B．can cause serious brain damage occasionally
C．will result in immediate symptoms
D．may bring on Parkinson’s at once
3.Why are squirrel monkeys and baboons involved in the experiments?
A．Because these animals usually take drugs.
B．Because their brain is similar to human beings.
C．Because there is a model in the animals’ brains.
D．Because they will soon get well after the experiment.
4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably refers to”________”.
A．Leah’s death after a single tablet
B．the symptoms after smoking
C．the damage to the brain systems
D．repeated use of the drug
