After suffering through many months of unemployment  (失業(yè))，my wife and I moved this week from Colorado to Ohio，where she was starting a new job.Not knowing anybody there，we were pretty concerned about how we’d get our entire home unloaded (卸下) without killing ourselves.

We made a phone call to hire (臨時雇用) a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there.But one neighbor after another stopped by to help us.What？Have_we_moved_to_some_other_country？Maybe_we’ve_died_and_gone_to_heaven!

Unloading actually became fun and joy because there were so many wonderful new friends to help when we worked.The more people helped，the easier the work became.We were afraid the job might take days for the two of us alone，but it was finished in a few hours.Many total strangers would either walk by the sidewalk or drive by to ask us if we were moving in.Many were happy that this old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again.We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.

All the time，my brain was resting on this new sense of hope that people can be so friendly to strangers.Among all the conversation were lots of offers to help each other in all kinds of ways.It’s wonderful to live in such a kind little town.I feel so grateful to be here，and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire community can model  (做榜樣) what it’s like to help each other.

A caring mother is the single most important factor in preventing teenagers from abusing(濫用)drugs and alcohol，researchers said on Friday. An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems，and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them.

  “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use．”said Dr.McArdle，of Newcastle University in northern England, who led the study. “They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.” The report, which is published in the journal Addiction, involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England，Ireland，Italy，Germany and the Netherlands. They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol. The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents, how well they were supervised(監(jiān)護)after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home.

  “Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,” McArdle said in a statement. But he added that a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection against developing drug habits. The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who had a good relationship with their mother was 16.6 percent. If either factor was missing, the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percent．More than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who did not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs．

  Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents’ responsibility                            

The phrase“maternal bond” appears twice in this passage. Guess its meaning__________．

A.物質(zhì)的獎勵             B.母親的約束             C．法律的制裁            D.學校的指導

According to McArdle,which is most likely to have the drug abuse problem_________?

A.16-year-old Tom from a happy big family             

B.17-year-old Kate supervised by her single mother．

C.18-year-old Juliet living with her single father．      

D.19-year-old Mark cared by his parents.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage__________?

A. Teenagers with both parents won’t have the drug use problem.

B. Teenagers from several countries filled in the questionnaire.

C. Teenagers were asked about their relationship with parents．

D. Teenagers in British schools are warned against drugs abuse.

The last paragraph suggests that________.

A. schools should answer for the drug problem             

B. television and media are to blame

C. parents and the society are responsible for the drug problem

D. mothers are the cause of youth drug use．

SANTO DOMINGO, Domincan Republic ---An infant girl born with a second head bled to death Saturday after complex surgery (外科手術) to remove her partially formed twin , her parents and doctors said.

A medical team completed the 11- hour operation Friday night and said 8-week-old Rebecca Martinez died seven hours later. Doctors had warned after the surgery that the girl would be at great risk of death.

“ We knew this was a very risky surgery , and now we accept what God has decided , “ Rebecca’s father , 29-year-old Frankin Martinez, said at a news conference with his wife. “ Rebecca is no longer with us physically , but no one will forget her.”

Martinez said the family would bury Rebecca in a private funeral later in the day.

Rebecca was born Dec. 10 with the undeveloped head of her twin, an exteremely rare condition known as craniopagus parasticus . Rebecca was the eighth documented case in the world of craniopagus parasiticus, doctors said.

All the other infants documented to have had the condition died before birth , making Rebecca\s surgery the first known operation of its kind.

Without an operation , Rebecca would have barely been able to lift her head at 3 months old. Her doctors said the pressure from the second head would have prevented her brain from developing.

“ We always saw Rebecca without the extra part of her body, ”er father said after her death.

How can you find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening the patient’s body up? Regular X rays can show a lot. CAT scans can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs.

What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patient’s body.

Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body, X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed.

A CAT scanner, however, uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional（橫截面）view of a specific part of the body. A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions. A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen. This picture is then photographed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another, can give clear “photos” of the entire body or of any body organs. The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active, moving organs, just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.

Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans actually don’t cause the patient to more radiation than regular X rays do. CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient, so they are less risky than regular X rays.

CAT scans provide exact, detailed information. They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain. They are helping to save lives.

1.What is NOT true of a CAT scan?

A．It is safer than regular X rays.

B．It makes use of computer techniques.

C．It can stop the action of an organ for a short time.

D．It gives clear pictures of active, moving body parts.

2.The underlined words “a foreign object”（Para 3）most probably refer to      .

A．a(chǎn) badly injured part inside the body

B．a(chǎn) new thing that is unknown to the doctor

C．a(chǎn) strange organ that has grown in the body

D．a(chǎn)n object that gets inside the body by chance

3.What is the special use of the latest CAT scanners?

A．It provides clear photos of moving organs.

B．It can take 3-dimension（三維）pictures of inside organs.

C．It won’t cause serious skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body.

D．It helps to find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening it up.

4.We can infer from this passage that      .

A．patients in front of CAT may suffer from a bit of radiation

B．doctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scanners

C．CAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray machines

D．CAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or a part of it
