4．Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time．In fact，a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on children's bodies，but also changes their DNA，causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging．
Scientists measured this by studying the ends of children's chromosomes（染色體），called telomeres，says Idan Shalev，lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry．
Telomeres（端粒） are special DNA sequences （基因序列）which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating．They get shorter each time a cell divides，until a cell cannot divide any more and dies．
Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres，including smoking，radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically（長期地） ill person．
In this study，researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children's telomeres shorten faster than normal．They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5，7 and 10，asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner； physical maltreatment by an adult； or bullying．Researchers measured the children's telomeres-in cells obtained by swabbing the insides of their cheeks-at ages 5 and 10．
Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence，says Shalev．Unless that pattern changes，the study suggests，these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging，such as heart attacks or memory loss，seven to 10 years earlier than their peers．
Shalev says there is hope for these kids．His study found that，in rare cases，telomeres can lengthen．Better nutrition，exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres，he says．
The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes，says Charles Nelson，a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School．

59．The new study found thatC．
A．hardship can change a child's aging
B．violence leaves scars on a child's mind
C．violence can speed up a child's aging
D．hardship has a long term effect on a child's mind
60．According to the text，telomeresB．
A．a(chǎn)re at the ends of people's chromosomes
B．can help prevent DNA from separating
C．can make a cell die quickly
D．become shorter before they die
61．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？C
A．Violence can cause quick cell division in children's body．
B．Researchers measured the children's telomeres from their legs in the study．
C．Being treated badly will make a child's telomeres shorten faster．
D．Children who have shorter telomeres may have a heart attack earlier．
62．What is the best title for the text？A
A．Violence Aging Children's DNA
B．Children's Changing DNA Patterns
C．Violence and Telomeres
D．The Function of Telomeres．

2．Aerial（空中的）performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs，but she never let it stop her．
Wrapped in a loop（圈）of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music．Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back，high above the ground a move-that's all the more daring because she has no legs．
Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker．She had big brown eyes，a bright smile，and huge amounts of energy．When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket（桶），they refused．
Jennifer soon learned to walk-and run-on her hands and bottom，and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline （蹦床）with her three older brothers．"My parents didn't treat me differently so I didn't grasp the concept that I was different．I knew I didn't have legs but that wasn't stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do．"
At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs，but she never really took to them-she moved more freely without．
In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta．Jennifer loved to watch the women's gymnastics team，and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US．When Moceanu and the women's team won gold，Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast，too．She took up power tumbling，which involves performing floor exercises down a runway．But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability．
At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois．
Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer．

21．What do we know about Jennifer Bricker？B
A．She felt embarrassed without legs．
B．She was brought up as a normal child．
C．She was carried in a bucket as a baby．
D．She lost her legs when she was adopted．
22．Why did Jennifer determine to be a gymnast？D
A．She knew that she was different from others．
B．She wanted to make allowances for her disability
C．She was eager to participate in the Junior Olympics．
D．She was greatly influenced by Dominique Moceanu．
23．Which of the following can best describe Jennifer Bricker？A
A．Self-respected．
B．Cautious．
C．Sensitive．
D．Clever．
24．What is the passage mainly about？D
A．The sufferings of a gymnast．

9．Happiness is for everyone．You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or （36）B  and so on．Why？Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time．
In fact，happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it．
（37）C  When you study hard at your lessons，your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health．When you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you．When you do something wrong，people around you will help you to correct it．（38）E All these are your happiness．If you notice a bit of them，you can see that happiness is always around you．
Happiness is not the same as money．It is a feeling of your heart．When you are poor，you can also say you are very happy，because you have something else that can't be bought with money．（39）G，because you have more chances to challenge yourself．So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck．As the saying goes，life is like a revolving（旋轉(zhuǎn)的）door．When it closes，it also opens．（40）F．

A．those who have no houses
B．those who have nice cars and a lot of money
C．When you are in trouble at school，your friends will help you．
D．When you meet with difficulties，you can give them up and be happy．
E．And when you do something good to others，you will feel happy，too．
F．If you take every chance you get，you can be a happy and lucky person．
G．When you meet with difficulties，you can say loudly you are very happy．

6．The eyeliner makes the dark circles less visible．The lip gloss hides the trembling．The ponytail hides missing patches of hair．The Abercrombie sweater covers bruises．I might look at bit thinner，but everyone will ask about my new diet．My hair might not shine the way it used to，but the pink ribbon will distract curious eyes．One hour of preparation and I look like myself．One hour of preparation and no one will know．One hour out of 24．Sometimes I woner if it's worth it-wasting a twenty-fourth of my day on a lie．But then I see my wispy hair and baggy eyes，and I have to do it．
Checking my makeup one last time，I push my sleeves up，though not past my elbows．I slip on a cute pair of flat shoes-heels are too dangerous with shaky legs-and grab my Hollister bag．Padding downstairs，I breathe in the scent of waffles and syrup．
"Morning，Mom，"I call．
"Morning，baby，"she chirps．"Did you sleep well？"
"Better than I have been．"
She sighs，and her eyes look a hundred years old for a minute．"Any improvement is good，"she says half-heartedly．
"Of course．"
"I made waffles．"Her offering．
"Thanks，Mom．Smells delicious．"My offering．
I sit at the table and she hands me a plate．The thought of all that food turns my stomach，but I force a smile and thank my mother again．She busies herself at the sink and fills the silence with chatter．When she turns around，she takes in the waffles still on my plate，only missing a few bites．I smile apologetically．
"I'm not very hungry this morning．"
"You'll need your strength for this afternoon．"She bites her lip．She doesn't like to bring it up over breakfast．I eat another bite．
"I packed your lunch．"
"I'm 18，Mom．I can pack my own lunch．You have more important things to do．"
She reaches for the paper sack．"But now I know you'll have something to eat．And you need to eat，okay？You have to keep your strength up．"
Sighing，I take the bag．I know this peanut butter and jelly sandwich won't be eaten，not any more than the one yesterday or the day before．Anything consumed after 11ends up in a plastic basin at 4：07．It'sjust the way it works．
"Hon，have you thought about what I said the other day？"she asks．
I shrug noncommittally．
"Sweetheart，you can't hide this forever．Eventually you're going to miss school and people will start asking questions．"
"Mom，I have two months left of high school．I can make it till then．I'm class president and probably will make a graduation speech．I was voted‘Most popular，'‘Most fun to be around，'‘Best smile，'and‘Most likely to succeed．'I'm the girl who's got it all together．People don't want to know that the girl who's got it all together，doesn't have it all toether．People don't want to know that girl is dying!"
"Honey，don't say that．You're not dying．"
"Yes，I am．You heard Dr．Morrison．I have maybe a year left．Mom，listen to me．I don't want to be the girl everyone looks at and whispers，‘Look at her．Poor thing!I can't handle that．I want to be normal．Just for these last two months．"
"Okay，"she whispers．"Okay．Just remember，it's okay if you don't have it all together．Sometimes things just fall apart and there's nothing we can do．"
"Thanks，Mom．"I grab my bag and lunch and kiss her on the cheek．"I love you．""I love you too，"my mom replies．This exchange，once taken for granted，is now a vital part of every morning，every afternoon，every night．Three little words，followed by four more，have come to mean more than an entire conversation．They bridge all gaps and disagreements，because we both know there is now a finite number left．
Keys in hand，I open the door and blink in the early morning sun．My silver car waits in the driveway and as I walk toward it，I check my reflection in the tinted window．Perfect．

3．Education Does Count
----Bill GatesHundreds of students send me e-mail each year asking for advice about education．They want to know what to study，or whether it's OK to drop out of college since that's what I did．
My basic advice is simple and heartfelt．"Get the best education you can．Take advantage of high school and college．Learn how to learn．"
It's true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft，but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out--and I'd love to have the time to go back．As I've said before，nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifetime．And even then they should reconsider．
In my company's early years we had a bright part-time programmer who threatened to drop out of high school to work full-time．We told him no．
Quite a few of our people didn't finish college，but we discourage dropping out．
Having a diploma certainly helps someone who is looking to us for a job．
There's not a perfect correlation（相連關(guān)系） between attitudes in high school and success in later life，of course．But it's a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects，to learn to work with people in high school，and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college．

The Author/Bill Gates is often asked to give advice about education due to his successful experience．He thinks it is unwise to drop out and that learning is sure to be beneficial
Some students want to drop out of school，believing schooling has nothing to do witha successful career，because there are many cases where people who don't finish their schooling are successful，such as Bill Gates．Besides，the high tuition of college educationis too much for ordinary families．Dropping out to find a job helps them to lighten the heavy financial burden on theirparents．Furthermore，experience counts most for a career and no wonder some would like to accumulate experience by takinga job at an early age．
"Knowledgeis power．"Without knowledge，by no means canwe achieve our life goal．Schools are where people become knowledgeable．As for me，it is a wise option to concentrate on study from now on．I will make full use of time to complete my schooling and realize my dream．．
