2.For medical students,real experience begins not in a classroom but at a teaching hospital.These doctors in training are guided.But sometimes accidents happen and the students get injured.
For example,they might stick themselves with a needle while treating patients.Such needle sticks are common.But a recent study found that medical students often fail to report them.Failing to report an injury like this can be dangerous if a patient,or a medical worker,has an infectious disease.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,Maryland,did the study,which involved a survey answered by almost 700 surgeons in training in the United States.
Almost 60% said they had suffered needle stick injuries when they were in medical school.Many said they were stuck more than once.Yet nearly half of those whose most recent incident happened in school did not report it to a health office.If they had,they would have been tested to see if they needed treatment to prevent an infection like HIV or hepatitis.
Most known cases of HIV or hepatitis are reported,but other possible infections often are not.Martin Makary,the lead author of the study,says medical students who are stuck put themselves and others in danger from infectious diseases.
Doctor Makary said,"A needle that goes through the skin needs to be as sharp as possible."Doctors in training may have to do hundreds of stitches (縫線) in some cases to close the skin after an operation.
Doctor Makary said,"I support using blunt tip needles which are considered safer.This needle is still sharp enough to go through body tissue,but it does have a blunt tip,so that if it accidentally goes into my finger,it's much less likely to hurt me."
How common are needle sticks among health care workers?An estimated 600,000 to 800,000 of these and similar injuries are reported each year in the United States.But Doctor Makary says the real number may be much higher.
The study advises doctors to protect their hands by wearing two sets of gloves.It also urges hospitals to establish a special telephone number for medical workers and students to call if they are injured.The idea is for hospitals to send a clear message that there is no reason not to report this kind of accident.
41.It is dangerous for medical students not to report needle stick injuries becauseC.
A.they don't know how to treat themselves.
B.they may meet more needle sticks
C.it may cause some diseases               
D.it may make patients sad.
42.If they report needle stick injuries,medical students willD.
A.receive treatment                
B.be forbidden to use sharp needles
C.spend more time on training        
D.receive tests
43.The underlined word"blunt"in Paragraph 7 is the closest in meaning to"A".
A.not sharp           B.not safe           C.not long        D.not thick
44.What do we know from the passage?D
A.Doctors who don't report needle stick injuries will be punished.
B.Needle sticks among health care workers will reduce sharply in the future.
C.Most needle stick injuries happen in the United States.
D.Two suggestions are given to protect medical workers and students.
45.Where can this passage most probably be found?B

11.About 35percent of British adults sleep with teddy bears.Many more share a bed with a partner or spouse.Others still co-sleep,alongside children in a family bed.
But lying with your iPad?A recent survey by marketing agency Rosette found that 68percent of tablet owners use the device in the bedroom,more than in any other location.The living room took a close second place,at 63percent,reports AdAge.com,and only 45percent of respondents said they use their tablets on the go.
But bringing devices into the bedroom is a bad idea,if quality rest is your goal.One of the most important factors of sleepiness is darkness,which signals to the brain that it's time to start speeding up production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin.But as the New York Times points out,in our modern world,we are exposed to light long after the sun sets.While any type of light can disturb your sleep,the blue wavelength light given off by cell phones,laptops,tablets and other gadgets is particularly troublesome.Research shows that this blue light causes alertness so decisively that it can actually be used to fight tiredness.
According to the National Sleep Foundation,95percent of Americans use some device,whether it's a TV,laptop,cell phone or other products,within an hour of killing time."Artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed at night push our sleeping sense to a later hour-making it more difficult to fall asleep,"said Charles Czeisler,Ph.D.,M.D.,chief of the division of sleep medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Instead,experts recommend turning off all devices an hour before bedtime and finding another method for relaxation,like reading a book,taking a warm bath or performing a series of calming yoga poses.It's also a good idea to exercise and lay off the caffeine several hours before bedtime.
60.According to a recent survey,most tablet owners use their iPadB.
A.in the living room                  B.in the bedroom
C.in the office                       D.on the move
61.What can we know from this passage?C
A.The light from cell phones is harmful
B.Modern people have trouble falling asleep
C.Darkness can create a good sleeping environment
D.Blue light can prevent sleepiness decreasing
62.If we often play with a laptop just before sleep,we'll be more likely toB.
A.dream of it     B.stay awake        C.feel sleepy        D.become tired.

12.Loneliness has been linked to depression(抑郁)and other health problems.Now,a study says it can also spread.A friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness.And a friend of that friend was twenty-five percent more likely to do the same.
Earlier findings showed that happiness,obesity(肥胖) and the ability to stop smoking can also spread like infections within social groups.The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham,Massachusetts.
The study began in 1948to investigate the causes of heart disease.Since then,more tests have been added,including measures of loneliness and depression.
The new findings involved more than five thousand people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study.The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness.The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends.
For example,loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors.The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together.The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.
The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year.The study found that having a lonely friend can add about seventeen days.But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by two and a half days.
Lonely people become less and less trusting of others.This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends-and more likely that society will reject(排斥)them.
John Cacioppo at the University of Chicago led the study.He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness.He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.

59.As an average person,if you make 2more friends,how many days a year might you suffer from loneliness?B
A.48days.  B.43days.  C.65days.  D.17days.
60.What can we infer (推斷)from the passage about lonely people?C
A.They can overcome loneliness themselves.
B.They will decrease loneliness day by day.
C.They need help to get back to normal social life.
D.They can help others to repair their social networks.
61.What's the best way to help lonely people according to this passage?B
A.Bring them together.     B.Make friends with them.
C.Help them stop smoking.  D.Help them loose weight.
62.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A
A.Loneliness And Social Net Work    B.Social Networks And Friendship
C.Loneliness And Diet           D.Help A Lonely Person.
