Say sorry to your wife---it may help her live longer, according to scientists.

“Sorry” may be the hardest word, but scientists say it could be one of the healthiest. Researchers have discovered that women who receive an apology for hurtful behavior suffer less stress and possible damage to their heart than those who don’t.

It is said that the heartbeat of a wronged woman returns to normal 20 percent quicker after a well-timed “sorry” than without it. But for men, their heartbeat takes longer to recover, according to the research.

The research was undertaken by American scientists using 29 men and 59  women whose diastolic blood pressure was measured throughout an experiment. Diastolic blood pressure

is a measure of pressure in the blood vessels( 血管 ) between heartbeats---if it is continuously high it can increase the chances of heart attacks.

The men and women were asked to undertake a difficult mathematical task. They were told they had five minutes to complete it but were disturbed after a minute and told rudely to carry out the task more quickly. They were disturbed twice more before five minutes had passed and told to speed up. Finally they were told, “ You’re obviously not good enough.” Two minutes later researchers said sorry to half of the men and women.

The researchers found that, on average, the women’s diastolic blood pressure dropped back to normal 20 percent---quicker if they received an apology from the researchers, while the men’s took 20 percent longer to return to normal. One of the researchers said, “Results indicates that the effects of apology and forgiveness on women are greater.”

1.The term “sorry” is considered as one of the healthiest words because it _________.

2.We can know from Paragraph 3 _________.

3.Which of the following is the RIGHT time order for events in the study?

a. Half of them received apologies.

b. They were disturbed a minute later.

c. They were told that they weren’t good enough.

d. They were asked to finish a math task in five minutes.

e. They were disturbed two more times during the study.

4.The research confirmed (证实) that _________.

IT'S a mystery that has puzzled scientists. Five years ago, researchers found an area in the Atlantic Ocean seabed, where a part of the Earth's outer layer, or crust（地壳）, is　 missing. A thick layer of dark green rock, which is usually found deep inside the planet, lies exposed.

The crust, mantle(地幔) and core（地核） are the main layers that make up the planet. The mantle rests between the crust and the core.

Last month, a team of 12 British scientists set off on a six-week trip to study the hole in the crust.

The hole is about 4,800 meters below sea level and is believed to be more than 48,000 meters long and more than 48,000 meters wide. Scientists think that there are other nearby gaps. "It is like a window into the interior (内部) of the Earth," says scientist　　 Bramley Murton, who is part of the research team.

The site where the hole is located is part of a ridge (山脉) of undersea volcanoes.　 There, two of the plates that make up the Earth's surface meet. The plates are always　　 moving. When the plates move away from each other, lava rushes up from the mantle to　　 fill the gap and form a new crust. But this did not happen in the area where the hole is located.

The hole is giving researchers a good opportunity to study what's below the Earth's　　 surface. The team will use a special robotic tool to film the area and get samples of the exposed mantle. They hope to study everything from the chemistry of the oceans to how the Earth's surface behaves under the sea.

1. What's the title for the passage?

A. How to study the earth.

B. The formation of the earth.

C. A hole in the earth.

D. Studying the inside of the earth.

2.For the main layers of the earth, which one is right?

A. crust, mantle, core　　　　 B. seabed, crust, mantle

C. seabed, mantle, core　　　 D. crust, seabed, core

3.How does the hole come into being?

A. It's because of a volcano eruption.

B. It's because of the plates movements

C. It's because lava rushes up from the mantle

D. It's not clear from the passage.

4.By studying the hole, the scientists want to do the following except____.

A. knowing what's below the Earth's surface

B. getting samples of the exposed mantle

C. getting the film of the hole

D. studying the chemistry of the oceans

When a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are different from cool on purpose(故意地）. But these are simple ways to deal with sadness by pretending it’s not there.

Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter!” Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”

If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class things. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.

There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super” .When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.

What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.

1.A child who has been informed of being “ uncool” may _________ .
