阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。
Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (镜像神经元) in our brains.
Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains copy it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is biological basis for the way we understand other people.
Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: The hand took hold of the ball), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).
Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.
Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and communicate. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物) for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you’ll understand why.
1.Mirror neurons can explain _________.
A. why we cry when we are hurt
B. why we cough when we suffer from a cold
C. why we smile when we see someone else smile
D. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late
2.The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________”.
A. broken up B. set off
C. built up D. cut off
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE about mirror neurons?
A. They result in bad behavior and social disorders
B. They control human physical actions and feelings
C. They determine our knowledge and language abilities
D. They relate to human behavior and communication
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Existence of mirror neurons.
B. Functions of mirror neurons.
C. Ways to find mirror neurons.
D. Problems of mirror neurons.

It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.
Al Herpin died at the age of 95.
41.The main idea of this passage is that _______
A. everyone needs some sleep to stay alive
B. people can live longer by trying not to sleep
C. large numbers of people do not need sleep
D. a person was found who actually didn't need any sleep
42.The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting ______
A. to find out whether his sleeplessness was really true
B. to find out why some old people didn't need any sleep
C. to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping
D. to cure him of his sleeplessness
43. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al Herpin ____
A. needed no sleep at all B. needed some kind of sleep
C . was too old to need any sleep D .often slept in a chair
44.One reason that might explain Herpin' s sleeplessness was ______

B. his magnificent physical condition
C. that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habit
D. that he hadn't got a bed

I still remember my three-year-old daughter’s face when we watched the that twenty children at Sandy Hook Elementary School had been killed.

We’re not all of a little lie here and there. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Snow White are just a few examples of for parents to keep magic in the world. Magic, imagination and creativity are very essential in life, for children. These stories battle against the negative aspects of the world and create . In the end children will be able to what is true and what was made to their lives. Out of five brothers and a sister I can happily report that not one of the children I grew up with was when we discovered who all those people really were.
In life, a parent is the of knowledge, and it is up to the parent to decide what knowledge to teach and when. There’s no to tell children all about the truth. As they become , they will have a better understanding of the world.

How You Can Be Calm Even When Things Get Rough
1. Cry if you need to---for a while.
Some people are more emotional than others. But repressing（压制） your emotions doesn’t always help. If you do repress them, ___1.__. You can do it for a while, but it will eventually come back to the surface---and sometimes in an explosive manner. So have a good cry once in a while. Let the emotions out in order to help yourself think more clearly afterwards.
2. Be solution-oriented.
Concentrating on the negatives won’t change anything. Let’s say you just lost your job. ___2._. So you’ve had your cry or the time to freak out（吓坏）, and then you made the decision to put your logical hat on. Now look at the possibilities. Start applying for jobs. Think about a career change or starting your own business. Look at the actions you can take to make your situation better. Then do something.
3. Ask for help.
Unfortunately, __3.____. It’s not! Where has it ever been written that everyone needs to go through their problems alone? Nowhere! Having other people support you-either emotionally or by actually doing something to help-will make you feel like you have less of a burden on your shoulders. Less burden equals more calm, collected, and lighter feelings.
4. Believe that things will get better.
Hope. _4.___. If you don’t believe that things will change, then they won’t. I always love to quote Henry Ford when he said, “Whether you think you can-or you think you can’t- either way, you are right.” If you think things will get better, then they eventually will. If you think they won’t, then they won’t. your beliefs shape your experience.
Staying calm when life gets rough takes practice, but it can be done. If you practice these steps on a regular basis, eventually __5.___.
A. Maybe it was a shock
B. it’s like holding a beach ball under the water
C. It might feel like you’re staying in the same place
D. Hope is everything
E. Maybe you didn’t lose your job
F. it will become second nature to you
G. a lot of people think that asking for help is a sign of weakness
