Pain in the neck

We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck，or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache and stiff. Your whole body feels tight. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.

That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling.We have all met such people.?

One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time— during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.?

Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down，with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of your self-control after they have settled into their seats...Well，what now...Good God，one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room，and once more you have to stand up，hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now，that is “a pain in the neck”.?

Another，well-known to us all，is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn；he is chewing loudly，or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down，back and forth，they go-for another bag of popcorn，or something to drink.

Then，there is the man sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar. He wants you to enjoy it too，and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.?

We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you，just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his neck so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.

We also call such a person a “rubber neck”, always stretching his neck to where it does not belong，like neighbors who watch all your visitors. The enjoy invading your privacy. People have a strong dislike for rubbernecks. They hate being spied upon.?

1．Where can you find this passage??

A．Medicine dictionaries.                 B．Social science books.?

C．Kids’ comic books.                   D．Science text books.?

2．How do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema??

A．Ignored.          B．Bored.                    C．Disturbed.        D．Relaxed.?

3．A “rubber neck” often __________.

A．says bad words behind people?         B．quarrels face to face with neighbours?

C．bargains the price with sales women?    D．a(chǎn)sks about other people’s business

4．Which of the following is a “pain in the neck”??

A．Someone who helps you find your seat in a movie theatre.?

B．Someone who smokes in a smoking section on a train.?

C．Someone who throws trash（ 垃圾）out of his car window on the highway.?

D．Someone who goes to the doctor for his severe pain in the neck.??

Space is dangerous place, not only because of meteors（流星） but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation（輻射） from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

    Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have recon to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage--a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed（畸形的） children or even grandchildren.

Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.

1．According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man because      .

A．it protects him against the harmful rays from space   

B．it provides sufficient light for plant growth

C．it supplies the heat necessary for human survival     

D．it screens off the falling meteors

2．The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members       .

A．is insignificant              B．seems overestimated    

C．is enormous                D．remains unknown

3．It can be inferred from the passage that       .

A．the Apollo mission was very successful

B．protection against space radiation is no easy job

C．a(chǎn)stronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren

D．radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers

4．The best title for this passage would be       .

A．The Atmosphere and Our Environment   B．Research on Radiation

C．Effects of Space Radiation              D．Importance of Protection Against Radiation
