D

Whenever you buy something, it is possible that someone has already worn, eaten, or tested

it to make sure it is safe and do what is supposed to do. But what if you wanted a special suit to keep a shark from hurting you? Who wants to test a product like it?

"I do! " says Jeremiah Sullwan, a scientist in California　 "You have to believe in what you sell, right?"

Sullivan. owns SharkArmor Tech, a company that makes a　 $ 49400 sharksuit that even a great white shark can’ t bite through. Before Sullivan could sell his sharksuits, he needed to make sure his design would work. Sullivan put on the sharksuit and jumped into a shark feeding ground. "I need to know exactly what a human body could expect to go through," he says. Sharks moved all around him and then attacked his arm. Sullivan felt the bite but no teeth. He was uncomfortable at times, but not painful. The suit works! "

"I’ve now been bitten thousands of times but. never badly," says Sullivan, who now works with shows like Wild Kingdom, and programs for the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week.

So,are you all set to buy a sharksuit? Before you do, you should know that the suit weighs 20 pounds and makes swimming almost impossible--not so practical for a day on the beach. And in fact, Sullivan wants only professionals, such as filmmakers, scientists and drivers, to have sharksuits. Why? Because even if someone is wearing a sharksuit, they could get seriously hurt if they treat diving with a 4,OOO-pound shark as a game.

During sharksuit testing, sharks have thrown Sullivan to a bottom o/ reefs(礁) and tried to take him off into the deepest part of the ocean. "However," Sullivan says," you don't need to be afraid of sharks. It’s actually pretty hard to get a shark to bite you, "

1.The first paragraph is written to .

B. introduce the topic of the text

C. show the main points of the text

D. test readers' knowledge

2.Why did Sullivan get close to sharks?

A. To see if his sharksuit works.

B. To study what sharks feed on.

C. To catch a special kind of white shark.

D. To learn how to swim with sharks safely,

3.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Most people won't wear the sharksuit to the beach

B. People like to go to the beach with the sharksuit.

C. The sharksuit makes a perfect day on the beach

D. The sharksuit can’t be worn for a whole day.

Everyone has someone who’s wronged them in one way or another. Yet forgiveness is something you can achieve as long as you take the following steps.

Decide you want to choose forgiveness.

The first step toward achieving forgiveness is to decide it’s something you actually want to do, not something someone has pressured you into trying. 1. Also forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing or forgetting an injustice, or returning to a relationship that’s harmful.

2..

It’s kind of a checklist: How are you doing in terms of your anger? How have you been denying it? Are you angrier than you thought you would be?3. Tiredness is the most common physical complaint, as is a pessimistic worldview — believing no one can be trusted or that everyone is only out for themselves. Once you look at those effects, the question becomes: Do you want to heal?

Commit to forgiveness.

Once you have completed stage two and seen how the effects of you unhappy, there’s a tendency to give this a try. In this stage, it’s import to commit it yourself to doing no harm toward the person you’re trying to forgive. That doesn’t mean being good to them.4.

Consider the other person’s wounds.

The goal is to finally feel sympathy for the other person, but don’t start there.5. How was that person hurt in life? How were they treated unjustly? Were they so wounded that they wounded you? You don’t do this to excuse their actions, but to see a scared person, maybe a confused person, someone who is not always right and all-powerful.

A. Make a list.

B. Uncover your anger.

C. Instead, think about them in a new way.

D. It just means you don’t do anything negative.

E. People should not be forced into forgiving.

F. What are the physical consequences of your anger?

G. On the contrary, be committed to your own happiness.

1. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.

For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”

2. Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. 3.

Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. 4. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. 5. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

A.This guy’s a winner, right?

B.Then she seeks another term.

C.Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive?

D.Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just dishonest.

E.Half truths are aimed at economic and social science academics

F.It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with truth.

G.When it comes to advertisements, we must all use our intelligence and not be a slave to them!
