2、You go to bed. Ill see you when Im dressed.But when I came downstairs he was dressed, sitting by the fire, looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years. When I put my hand on his forehead I knew he had a fever.You go up to bed, I said, Youre sick.Im all right, he said.When the doctor came he
3、took the boys temperature.Whats is it? I asked him.One hundred and two.Downstairs, the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them. One was to bring down the fever, another a purgative(泻药), the third to overcome an acid condition. The germs o
4、f influenza（流感）can only exist in an acid condition, he explained. He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees. This was a light epidemic(传染病；传染性的) of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia（肺炎
5、）.Back in the room I wrote the boys temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules.Do you want me to read to you?All right. If you want to, said the boy.

8、it bothers you.It doesnt bother me.No, I mean you dont have to stay if its going to bother you.I thought perhaps he was a little lightheaded and after giving him the prescribed capsules at eleven oclock I went out with my gun and the young hunting dog.I killed two quail(鹌鹑), and missed five, and sta
9、rted back pleased to have found a covey of quail close to the house and happy there were so many left to find on another day. At the house they said the boy had refused to let anyone come into the room.You cant come in, he said. You mustnt get what I have.I went up to him and found him in exactly th
10、e position I had left him, white-faced, but with the tops of his cheeks flushed（发红）by the fever, staring still, as he had stared, at the foot of the bed.I took his temperature.What is it?Something like a hundred, I said. It was one hundred and two and four tenths.It was a hundred and two, he said.Wh
11、o said so?The doctor.Your temperature is all right, I said. Its nothing to worry about.I dont worry, he said, but I cant keep from thinking.Dont think, I said.

Whats
13、 the matter with you? Oh, yes, I am, I heard him say a hundred and two.People dont die with a fever of one hundred and two. Thats a silly way to talk.I know they do. At school in France the boys told me you cant live with forty-four degrees. Ive got a hundred and two.He had been waiting to die all d

On that thermometer thirty-seven is normal. On this kind its ninety-eight.Are you sure?Absolutely, I said, Its like miles and kilome
15、ters. You know, like how many kilometers we make when we do seventy miles in the car?Oh, he said.But his gaze at the foot of the bed relaxed slowly.

You are wrong if you guessed the US, even with the housing bubble （气泡） and main sadness. Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far f
24、rom supply. According to a recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator （赤道） to Australia to find the priciest homesThe report measured a citys housing market along the following guidelines. An “affordable” home required three times or less of the average familys in
25、come to purchase. At four times earnings, a home fell into the “unaffordable” category. And a “seriously unaffordable” home needed five times a familys income. In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9,5 times the average income. Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne were only a litt
26、le under this figureAustralian officials offered little comment, apart from a general statement on the dismal findings. These prices make the possibility that many Australians will one day own a home largely unbelievable. Land rationing （配给制） and excessive development charges have raised prices, and
27、 the problem will only be solved through urgent action by the Rudd governmentSome American cities were also included on the least affordable list, four of which were in California. America is still involved in a mortgage（抵押）crisis, though, affecting the affordability of homes. Yet a number of US cit
28、ies garnered “affordable” status, namely Dallas and Kansas.

31、e D Homes Too Expensive (D) ACDD*结束Weve all experienced a good cry. Shedding (流) some tears can often make us feel better and help us put things in perspective. But why is crying beneficial? And is there such a thing as a bad cry?The researchers analyzed the detailed accounts of more than 3,000 rece
32、nt crying experiences and found that the benefits of crying depend entirely on the what, where and when of a particular crying episode (一段经历). The majority of persons reported improvements in their mood following a short period of crying. However, one third reported no improvement in mood and a tent
33、h felt worse after crying. Criers who received social support during their crying episode were the most likely to report improvements in mood.Research to date has not always produced a clear picture of the benefits of crying, in part because the results often seem to depend on how crying is studied.
34、 The researchers note several challenges in accurately studying crying behavior in a laboratory setting. Volunteers who cry in a laboratory setting often do not describe their experiences as making them feel better. Rather, crying in a laboratory setting often results in the study participants feeli
35、ng worse; this may be due to the stressful conditions of the study itself, such as being videotaped or watched by researchers. This may produce negative emotions, which neutralize (使无效) the positive benefits usually connected with crying.However, these laboratory studies have provided interesting fi
36、ndings about the physical effects of crying. Criers do show calming effects such as slower breathing, but they also experience a lot of unpleasant stress, including increased heart rate and sweating. What is interesting is that bodily calming usually lasts longer than the unpleasant. The calming eff
37、ects may occur later and overcome the stress reaction, which would account for why people tend to remember mostly the pleasant side of crying.Research has shown that the effects of crying also depend on who is shedding the tears. For example, individuals with anxiety or mood disorders are least like
38、ly to experience the positive effects of crying. In addition, the researchers report that people who lack insight into their emotional lives actually feel worse after crying.12. We can infer from the passage that _.A. people dont like being seen cryingB. crying in public makes people feel betterC. a
39、 bad cry is as common as a good cryD. a good cry can sometimes help us face problems rightly13. The beneficial effects of crying can be shown when _.A. your breath becomes slow B. you sweat a lot.C. your face turns pale D. you are being watched14. Who will be least likely to feel worse after crying?
40、A. People who receive help in course of crying.B. People who fail to understand their emotions.C. People who are anxious and nervous.D. People whose mood is not in order.15. The passage is mainly about _.A. the types of crying B. the way of cryingC. the psychology of crying D. the causes of crying12
41、15、DAAC *结束New security camera can “see” through clothesNew technology that can “ see ” through clothing and detect what s underneath can now be used to scan crowds, making it a potentially effective tool to prevent terrorist attacks in public places.The Thru Vision T5000 camera picks up Terahertz r
42、ays ，or T-rays, which are naturally sent out by all objects and can pass through clothes or even walls. The camera can then detect metallic and nonmetallic objects hidden under clothing on still or moving subjects without showing any body detail.While similar technology is seen at airports around th
43、e world, the T5000 is designed to be used in large, open areas. With a range of 25 meters, the T5000 can screen people in public places, thus avoiding bottle-necks at border crossing or security checkpoints. It also means people can be screened without knowing it.The technology develops from British
44、 astronomers work in studying dying stars. Astronomers use T-ray cameras to see through dust and clouds in space. The company sees uses for its camera at other sites where political or business activities take place.For privacy concerns，Thru Vision Chief Executive Clive Beattie said the image produc
45、ed by the camera did not show detailed parts of the body. “ Its almost a shining light bulb(灯泡）.” Beattie said. You don t see the detail that people might be concerned about. ” In London s busy Piccadilly Circuswhich is already filled with closed -circuit surveillance (监视）cameras reaction to the new
46、 technology was mixed. Some said the camera was going too far and violating privacy，but others said they are willing to put safety before privacy concerns. “ There s surveillance everywhere anyway, “ said one commuter. “I don t think it s much of a difference. I don t care that they can see through me because they can see me anyway.”Some experts said the privacy violation of the camera was not worth the benefit. “What we should consider is how much we want to lose our privacy in order to obtain a sort of national security，” said David Murakami Wood，director of the Surveillance
