8、The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I walked along the I-595 freeway near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to   1   the sweat off my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky. "  2  can't it rain?" I thought. That would   3   things down.

I thought about my   4  , who were probably sitting in an air-conditioned   5  right now. I'd had some problems in school,   6   my parents decided to let me   7   full-time with my dad. We both worked for my uncle, who had taken   8   of a maintenance（道路養(yǎng)護(hù)）company. It was up to us to keep the roads   9   of rubbish. The job was   140   and dirty, especially on hot days   11   this. I wondered why I ever agreed to do it.

We continued our   12   route along the I-595,   13   for the overpass bridge. Then I noticed an area where some   14   were broken on the ground. It wasn't like that before.

"Dad! Pull over! I want to   15   something out."

I jumped off the truck and rushed to the bridge. Something was telling me to   16  ...there wasn't much time.   17   .I saw a Toyota that   18   upside down in the tree. Maybe it was a stolen car that somebody   19   there, I thought. Then, just at that   20  , I noticed something moving. It was a bloody leg poking （伸出）out of the driver's side window!

"Help!" a lady moaned.

6、Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

"I think we are knocking at the door of immortality（永生）," said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate".

At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology（納米技術(shù)）make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years," he said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years."

However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?" said Leonard Pooh, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology（老齡學(xué)） Center. "At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."

1．By saying "we are knocking at the door of immortality", Michael Zey means ________.

A．they believe that there is no limit of living

B．they are sure to find the truth about long living

C．they have got some ideas about living forever

D．they are able to make people live past the present life span

2．Donald Louria's attitude towards long living is that ________.

A．people can live from 120 to 180 years

B．it is still doubtful how long humans can live

C．the human body is designed to last about 120 years

D．it is possible for humans to live longer in the future

3．The underlined "it"（paragraph 4）refers to ________.

A．a(chǎn) great push

B．the idea of living beyond the present life span

C．the idea of living from 200 to 300 years

D．the conservative estimate

4．What would be the best title for this text?

A．Living Longer or Not                               B．Science, Technology and Long Living

C．No Limit for Human Life                          D．Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living

5、We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. but most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it? Or did he envy my luck?" "And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.

    But when we look back, it is too late.

    Why do we go wrong about our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog!"（你真幸運(yùn)!） Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy!", that is being friendly. But "a lucky dog?" There is a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve your luck.

    "Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.

    How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.

A．the speaker is just friendly

B．this sentence suggests the same as "You're a lucky guy!"

C．the word "dog" should not be used to apply to people

D．sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious

       A．a(chǎn)void mistakes about money and friends

       B．get an idea of friendly people

3、根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

    Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

      1 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones （荷爾蒙）. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 2.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

 3 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “  4 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

    Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 5

A．In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.

B．They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

C．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.

D．Anger may cause you a cancer.

E．Do not express your anger while angry.

F．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.

G．Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
