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

Why do some people have many friends while others do not? ___71___ However, it is not so．Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations．

The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois（伊利諾斯[美國(guó)州名]）, where the experiment took place．A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company．____72_____．The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone．They were surprised to find that productivity increased on both occasions and in both groups．They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management．It had increased their motivation and so they had worked harder．In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them．

___73___．After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all- white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America．

She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and other with brown eyes．Other eye colors such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise．Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent（化學(xué)作用） for brown color found in their blood．Blue-eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted．Jane Elliott did not need to say any more．The brown-eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class．The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn．Then she discovered something very interesting．Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before．___74___．So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates．Congratulate them on their success and sympathize with them in their troubles．___75___．

       A．Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them．

       B．Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behavior to you．

       C．The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore others．

       D．The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others．

       E．Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behavior but also their confidence and their performance．

       F．You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them．

       G．The second experiment tells us what teachers said had a great effect on the students．

Babies born in summer are more likely to become short-sighted in late life, a study has shown．

As many as a quarter of all cases of short-sightedness are caused by too great an exposure to sunlight in the first weeks of life, say eye experts．

They are advising all parents to put sunglasses on their babies during the first weeks．

Scientists had already established that over-exposure to sunlight caused shortsightedness in animals．

Researchers who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on say the principle also applies to humans．

A study of almost 300,000 young adults-the largest of its kind-showed that those born in June and July had a 25 per cent greater chance of becoming severely short-sighted than those born in December or January．

Research leader Professor Michael Belkin, of Tel Aviv University, said it was because prolonged illumination（光照） causes the eyeball to lengthen-causing short-sightedness．

Hence the more light a newborn is exposed to, the more the eyeball lengthens and the worse the short-sightedness will be．

The mechanism which lengthens the eyeball is associated with levels of melatonin（褪黑激素）, a pigment （色素） which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun．

In young babies not enough melatonin is released as protection, meaning they are more vulnerable to sunburn and changes to eyeball shape．

Sight expert Professor Daniel O’Leary, of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said “At the moment we don’t know the precise cause of why light exposure affects sight, but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shortsighted．”

67．Babies born in summer are more likely to be shortsighted ____________．

       A．because the summer sun is too strong for babies

       B．because babies born in summer have lengthened eyeballs

       C．if they are exposed to much sunlight in the first weeks after they are born

       D．if parents don’t know a proper way to protect their babies’ eyes

68．Melatonin is a kind of material to ___________．

       A．prevent the eyes from becoming near-sighted

       B．protect the skin from harmful sun rays

       C．make our body strong

       D．protect babies’ eyes from summer sun

69．From what Professor Daniel O’Leary says we can conclude that ___________．

       A．there is no evidence that shortsightedness is related to exposure to sunlight

       B．whether light exposure affects sight still needs to be further proved

       C．he believes that light exposure can cause shortsightedness

       D．he tries to give the cause of why light exposure affects sight

70．The underlined word “vulnerable” in the passage probably means __________．

       A．easy to be harmed                               B．resistant

       C．protective           D．changeable

High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world．However, some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things．Here’s an example of why this is happening．You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds．However, it won’t taste as good as one you cook on the stove．And if you’re in that much of a hurry, you probably won’t take time to toast the bun．High-tech cooking saves time, but it doesn’t make for better-tasting meals．

Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet．This has many advantages．For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines．It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs．However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages．They give more background and details．They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest．

Other high-tech timesavers have similar disadvantages．For example, most people use the phone or e-mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places．But when you use the Internet or the phone, you won’t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate．Similarly, when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings．However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don’t pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing．

63．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?

       A．The writer likes high-tech cooking

       B．Low-tech cooking produces better-tasting meals．

       C．High-tech news programs always keeps you reading what is important to you．

       D．Handwritten homework is better than word-processed homework．

64．How does the writer feel about high-tech tools?

       A．Better late than never．

       B．Easy come, easy go．

       C．Every coin has two sides．

       D．Learn to walk before you run．

65．What is the main subject discussed in the text?

       A．High-tech vs．low-tech．

       B．Advantages vs．disadvantages．

       C．Newspapers and magazines vs．television and the Internet．

       D．Word-processing vs．handwriting．

66．How is the text organized?

       A．Main idea-Argument-Explanation

       B．Opinion-Discussion-Description

       C．Topic-Comparison-Supporting examples．

       D．Introduction-Supporting examples-Discussion．

Weighed down（壓得喘不過(guò)氣來(lái)） by study? Pushed to the limit by the fast pace of life? Frightened by the possible war? Well, you’re not alone．Men and women in France are seeking relief using the world’s best medicine--laughter．

In the past year, more than 25 laughter clubs have been set up across the country．People of all ages release their stress with an hour of group laughs．“People telephoned me and said they have forgotten what it is to laugh．They want to find a place where they can escape all their problems for a while．So they come,” said 40-year-old Jocelyn Le Moan．She usually takes a class of around 60 people through a series of laughter techniques．

Her pupils range from teenagers to 70 years old, but most are middle-aged white collars seeking 60 minutes of relaxation at the end of a busy day．

Le Moan takes them through the “Lion Laugh” and the “Laugh Contest”, where participants “speak” to each other in different ways．And instead of talking, they break into fits of laughter．At the end there are 15 minutes of “meditation”（沉思）,when they lie on their backs and let the laughs burst out of their mouths．

“I love it．It’s an experience that has changed my life．Through it I rediscovered the child’s laugh inside me,” said Romain Jourffroy, 24．"US President George W．Bush should give it a try．He has lost his laugh,” she joked．

Like Jourffroy, many laughter club members find themselves changed into children again, and Why not? The average preschooler laughs up to 400 times a day．The average adult only a sad seven to fifteen．

The physical benefits of laughter are already well-recognized．Doctors say the act of laughing releases good chemicals into the blood-stream, while the quick breathing that accompanies it helps massage（按摩）the digestive organs and strengthens the heart．

“A full hour is like having your insides go jogging! One finishes out of breath, but feels revitalized （產(chǎn)生新活力）．And on top of that, you’ve had a laugh,” said doctor Alexisd Estaing．

And many participants in Paris also emphasize the Psychological benefits．They believe that laughter is a way of making oneself feel more confident．

“Maybe it is because we are surrounded by so many troubles that we feel the need to keep laughing,” said Anne Maurigiano, a 29-year-old filmmaker．

       B．It can release good chemical into blood stream．
