It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride，today，Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

       “No ! Leave me alone!”Those were the last words I said to him that morning．

       My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”．

    When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive（大量）. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God! If he had moved Daddy，there’s no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung….”

       My mother may have said more，but I didn’t hear．I didn’t hear anything except those terrible

words：Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled(猛投) those words at him earlier in the day?

       “Daddy… I am so sorry….”

       “It’s okay，sweetheart．I'll be okay．”

I don’t remember anything about that day， not before，during or after the accident.I remember kissing you good night the night before，though．”He managed a weak smile．

can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it. we lose it .

       ●If you leave your bike in a strange place ,put it near something like a big stone or a tree.

Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike .When you return ,go back

along the same route

Scientists Alan M．Goldberg and Thomas Hartung describe recent advances in replacing the use of animals in toxicology(毒物學(xué))testing．Improvements in cell and tissue culture technologies，for example，allow a growing number of tests to be performed on human cells alone．Computer models are becoming increasingly complex and many could one day become more accurate than trials in living animals．

    Since the late 1990s，Huntingdon Life Sciences--a company that conducts testing of substances on animals conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration—has become a proving ground for aggressive strategies by animal-rights militants （好戰(zhàn)分子）．At a hearing，a Senate．committee listened to testimony（證詞） against Huntingdon employees and financial institutions providing services to the company．One experimentation witness at the hearing insisted that any means necessary were justified（辯護(hù)） to spare animals’ lives；he has previously accepted the idea of murder to that end．

    Use of animals in testing and in biomedical research continues to be necessary in many instances and is ethically（倫理道德地）preferable to experimenting on humans or giving up cures that could save human lives．But for the sake of people and animals alike，the development and acceptance of animal substitutes deserve enthusiastic support．

    In some instances, substitutes are already thought as good or better than animals，but supervising agencies（監(jiān)督機構(gòu)）have yet to catch up．In both the European Union and the U．S．，scientists and companies wanting to use the new alternative tests complain that regulatory standards for proving a drug or chemical to be safe for humans force the continued use of animals．Thus，animal-loving Americans might turn to persuading the EPA and the FDA to speed validation（確認(rèn)）of new methods so that they can be more widely employed．And animal advocates（保護(hù)者） who want to influence business could consider investing in the small biotech’s and large pharmaceutical（藥品的） companies that are working to develop alternatives to animals in research．

1._____ plays a leading role in replacing the use of animals in testing．

A．Huntingdon Life Sciences     B．Improvement in technologies

C．Animal-fights militants      D．Scientists Alan and Thomas

2.Accordingly, the animal-rights militants hold the view that_____．

A．a(chǎn)nimals shouldn’t be used in toxicology testing

B．a(chǎn)nimals should enjoy equal rights with human beings

C．a(chǎn)nimals should live wildly and freely

D．we should protect animals from being killed casually

3.From the passage，we can find _____．

A．the use of animals in testing has been stopped abruptly

B．a(chǎn)nimal substitutes are not preferable

C．supervising standards contribute to the continued use of animals in testing

D．only Huntingdon Life Sciences is accused

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Saving animals and people．

B．The new trend in toxicology testing

C．The use of animals in testing is against human nature

D．New technology changes the fate of animals

5.The writer’s attitude towards replacing the use of animals in toxicology is____．

A．a(chǎn)rbitrary（武斷的，隨意的）  B．pessimistic

C．indifferent（不關(guān)心的 ）    D．optimistic

Do you know that men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.

　　The largest study of the effects of ageing(變老) on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.

　　“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.

　　“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the aging process.”

　　What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s.

　　“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.

　　The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

1. The underlined word “l(fā)ongevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “________”.

A．health            B．long life           C．a(chǎn)geing            D．effect

2. The text mainly talks about ________.

A．men’s heart cells                      B．women’s ageing process、

C．the gender difference                    D．hearts and long life

3.According to the text, the UK scientists have known that ________.

A．women have more cells than men when they are born

B．women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat

C．the female heart loses few of the cells with age

D．women never lose their pumping power with age

4.If you want to live longer, you should ________.

A．enable your heart to beat much faster

B．find out the reason for ageing

C．exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy

D．prevent your cells from being lost

5.We can know from the passage that ________.

A．the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out

B．scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells

C．the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss

D．women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20
