The Fish I didn't Catch

I still remember my first fishing experience as if it were but yesterday. I have been 　　many times in my life (like when I got admitted to the best school), but never more intensely sothan when I received that first fishing 　　 from my uncle.

My uncle, who knew by long 　　where pickerel（梭魚）would gather, 　　placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line and waited anxiously for a bite, 　　the float up and down rapidly on the surface of the water. But nothing came of it. "Try again," said my uncle. Suddenly the float 　　out of sight. "Now for it," thought I; "here is a fish at last."

I made a strong pull, only to bring up a tangle of weeds. Again and again I cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle 　　．"Try once more," hesaid；"we fishermen must have　

Suddenly something tugged at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Pulling it up quickly, I saw a fine pickerel wriggling in the sun. "Uncle！”I cried, looking back in uncontrollable 　　 , "I've got a fish!”"Not yet," said my uncle. Just then, I saw the scared fish shooting into the middle of the stream, my hook hung 　　 from the line. I had lost my prize.

My heart sank with it and I felt like a failure. We tend to speak of the 　　 of childhood as matters of little importance 　　 those of grown-ups. Controlled by reason and self-respect, the sorrows of grown-ups 　　 the social customs and rules of conduct 　　 the sorrows of childhood are a complete abandonment to the passion. The doll's nose is broken, and the whole world 　　 with it.

So, overcome with my bitter disappointment, I refused to be 　　，even by my uncle's guarantee that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, and, putting the pole again in my hands, told me to try my luck once more.

"But remember, boy," he said, with a smile, "it's no use to boast of（自夸）anything before it's done, nor then, either, 　　it speaks for itself."

How often I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch 　�。hen I hear people talking about their distant aims as if they had already been achieved, I call to mind that 　　 by the riverside, and the wise caution of my uncle takes the form of a proverb of 　　 application: "NEVER BOAST OF YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU CATCH HIM."

One of the most important recent medical breakthroughs has been the impact of gut flora（腸道菌群）on overall health. This dynamic mix of bacteria in the digestive tract（消化道）may affect everything from obesity to asthma（哮喘）．

The Gut-Mood Link

Anyone who's ever experienced "butterflies" in his or her stomach knows that the gut and the brain are connected. But until recently, scientists hadn't realized that the trillions of bacteria in our digestive tract may be driving the relationship.

One recent experiment suggests that you can control calm. Canadian researchers gave healthy mice a mixture of antibiotics, which change the makeup of GI-tract（胃腸道）bacteria. Over two weeks, some animals became more anxious and some less, depending on which drugs they received. In another study, when gut bacteria from calm mice were transferred to anxious mice, the jittery（緊張的）creatures seemed less nervous.

UCLA professor Kirsten Tillisch, doctor of medicine, recently had healthy women eat a yogurt

rich in certain types of "good" probiotic（益生菌的）bacteria. Two 'Control groups ate yogurt without such bacteria or ate nothing. Brain scans of the probiotic-yogurt eaters indicated changes in regions that could be associated with a less-anxious response in fearful or stressful situations compared with the control groups.

Scientists are even exploring whether gut microbes（微生物）might treat some brain disorders. A new study in Cell found that mice with features of autism（自ICJ癥）given a type of bacteria in healthy human GI tracts exhibited less autism-like behavior. In a recent case report, a Boston ps. chiatrist says a course of certain probiotics and antibiotics helped relieve a patient's compulsive disorder. -We tend to focus on how your mood affects your body from the top down, not the bottom up," says Dr. Tillisch. "Now we know that the gut affects how your brain responds to the environment- it's a remarkable change in thinking.”

How Bacteria Talk to the Brain Scientists aren't sure how gut flora affect brain chemistry. One theory is that the bacteria access pathways along the nerve, the main highway in the nervous system that links the brain to the gut. Another is that the bacteria influence the immune system, releasing chemicals that affect conditions like depression. Finally, researchers believe that bacteria produce or affect the metabolism（新陳代瀉'i) of chemicals, which change brain function.

Dr. Tillisch told me that patients always ask which probiotics will lift their mood．Her answer:

"We don't know yet, but we hope to one day." In the future, patients might receive probiotics or transplant（移植） in which bacteria from the gut of a healthy person are transferred to the gut of a sic': one-to prevent or treat mental health issues. But these approaches are years away from primary time．Until then, a diet rich in fruit and veggies helps cultivate（培養(yǎng)）better-balanced microbes than a typical Western diet high in animal and processed products. Avoiding unnecessary antibiotics, particularly in early childhood, may also establish healthier gut bacteria.

1. According to the passage, gut bacteria might help us in many ways EXCEPT＿_(dá)．

A. lightening our mood B. treating autism

C. relieving depression D. transplanting gut flora

2.The missing sentence "Everyday foods may also affect the composition of gut bacteria, and in

turn, brain chemistry." could be put before＿_(dá)·

A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3

C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5

3.Which of the following can be the best subtitle for the last paragraph?

A. Cultivating a Happier Gut

B. Growing Bacteria in the Future

C. Balancing Microbes and Diet

D. Living a Happy Healthy Life

Here’s a movie—a sharp, sugar-rush of fun that’s guaranteed to entertain the entire family.

With some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, Robots is the best animated film (動畫片) since The Incredibles. Yep, it really is that good.

Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.

But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).

Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot City’s citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.

Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?”
　　　Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles—including Robin Williams as the cowardly' (膽小的）Fender (“I’m made of a metal called Afraidium”)—Rodney must track down the firm’s founder, Bigweld (Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchet’s plans.

The first thing that’ll strike you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City. It’s a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.

Also terrific are the special effects. This might be an animated movie but at times you’ll catch yourself thinking it’s really a live-action film.

Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see Shark Tale, for example).

But Robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.

My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual，has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesn’t go anywhere.

\Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel that’ll have you bolted firmly to your seat.

BEST QUOTE(引述): Fender: “Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember there’s another one coming tomorrow.”

BEST BIT: Check out those amazing images.

WORST BIT: Robin Williams, character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.

IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age, The Incredibles, Toy Story... YOU’LL LIKE THIS.

1.This piece of writing is a _______.

A. commercial advertisementB. film review

C. movie posterD. literary essay

2.The cast of Robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses EXCEPT _______.

A. Ewan McGregor B. Robin Williams

C. Britney SpearsD. Halle Berry

3.What is Shark Tale an example of?

A. A great cast.B. A poor plot.

C. Special effects.D. Clumsy animation.

Taking a picture of your tongue with a mobile phone could soon instantly tell you how healthy you are. Researchers believe the images can reveal important information about a patient’s health and even give them early warning of serious illness.

A team at the University of Missouri is developing a system that can analyze pictures using a 5,000-year-old Chinese principle, which is based on the flow and balance of positive and negative energies in the body, and uses the tongue as a key to learning about a person’s physical health, or “zheng” according to Chinese medicine.

“Within a year, our goal is to create an application for smart phones that will allow anyone to take a photo of their tongue and learn the status of their zheng,” said Dong Xu, chair of MU’s Computer Science Department in the College of Engineering and the co-author of the latest study.

The software analyzes images based on the tongue’s color and coating to distinguish between tongues showing signs of “hot” or “cold” zheng. Shades of red and yellow are associated with hot zheng, whereas a white coating on the tongue is a sign of cold zheng.

“Hot and cold zheng doesn’t refer directly to body temperature,” said Xu, “Rather, it refers to a series of symptoms associated with the state of the body as a whole.”

For the study, 263 gastritis(胃炎) patients and 48 healthy volunteers had their tongues analyzed. The gastritis patients were classified by whether they showed infection by a certain bacteria as well as the intensity of their gastritis symptoms. In addition, most of the gastritis patients had been previously classified with either hot or cold zheng. This allowed the researchers to test the accuracy of the software’s analysis.

“Our software is able to classify people based on their zheng status. And as we continue to work on the software we hope to improve its ability,” said another co-author Ye Duan, “Eventually everyone will be able to use this tool at home using webcams or smart phone applications, which will allow them to monitor their zheng and get an early warning about possible ailments.”

1. The software mentioned in the passage is based on ________.

A. the latest development of smart phones

B. a traditional Chinese medical principle

C. the changes in one’s flow and energy

D. symptoms related with the state of the body

2.According to Chinese medicine, zheng refers to ________.

A. one’s body temperature B. the physical health of a person

C. the possible disease of a person D. the color and coating of one’s tongue

3.The study led by Dong Xu proves _________.

A. the effect of the software

B. the software’s great prospect

C. the advancement of smart phones

D. the greatness of Chinese medicine

4.The underlined word “ailments” can be replaced by _________.

A. analysis B. effects C. illnesses D. applications

5.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A. the software still needs improvement

B. the subjects in the study are all gastritis

C. the software has been in market for a year

D. the subjects in the study are classified by age
