Later s

15、he was trained to become a nurse in Patna, and then began her work helping the poor and comforting the dying in the streets of the city.

21、using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.

22、udgment. There will be some people who come to you with unconnected knowledge, talking about, say, Vitamin B12 and other modern_41_. When they ask advice, begin at that level. Unless you start at their own level, they will not be able to understand. You must explain to them in scientific terms the e

23、ffects of the food they eat, and how they need to _42_it.You have to train yourself to be very_43_. Staying at one level is no t being a free man. If we stay at a very high level all the time, that is not practical. A limitless person goes _44_from one level of thinking to another, according to his

24、circumstances. To do this we must get rid of our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior, become friends with everyone, and have the same loving feelings for everyone. Then we can give advice to all kinds of people. If there is someone or something you dislike, you are still_45_, and

25、 your ability to give advice is reduce d. For anyone, the same. A free person acts like that.You cannot stay with a sick person all the time. You must _46_ a persons freedom as much as you can. If people really want to die, let themit is their freedom. The point is never to become an authority_47_;

26、remain a friend or advisor. People should not come back _48_for consultation; if they do, your advice has been incompleteyou did not know how to give the _49_advice about freedom. If they do not understand that, sick people become slaves; they are still afraid inside, and are_50_. That is no way to

27、build a healthy world and help people become happy and free. III. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Youve now heard it so many

28、time, you can probably repeat it in your sleep. President Obama will no doubt _51_the point publicly when he gets to Beijing: the Chinese need to _52_more; they needbelieve it or notto become more like Americans, for the sake of the global economy.And its all true. _53_the other side of that equatio

29、n is that the U.S. needs to save more. For the moment, American households actually are doing so. After the personal-savings rate _54_to zero in 2005, the shock of the economic _55_last year prompted people to snap _56_their wallets. In China, the household-savings rate exceeds 20%. It is partly for

30、 policy_57_. As weve seen, wage earners are expected to _58_not only their children but their aging parents. And there is, to date, only the flimsiest (脆弱的) of publicly-funded health care and pension systems, which increases incentives for individuals to save _59_they are working. But China is a soc

31、iety that has _60_esteemed personal financial prudence (谨慎). There is no _61_that will change anytime soon, even if the government creates a better social safety net and successfully encourages greater consumer spending.Why does the U.S. need to learn a little frugality (节俭)？Because healthy savings

32、rates are one of the surest indicators of a countrys long-term financial health. High savings lead, over time, to increased investment, which in turn generates productivity gains, _62_and job growth. _63_, savings are the seed corn of a good economic harvest.The U.S. government thus needs to act as

33、well. By running _64_deficits, it is dis-saving, even as households save more. Peter Orszag, Obamas Budget Director, _65_called the U.S. budget deficits unsustainable and hes right. To date, the U.S. has seemed unable to see the consequences of spending so much more than is taken in. That needs to c

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D

37、. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)When people think of improving their diet, they often talk about eating more fruits and vegetables. Others want to eat more fish and less red meat, in addition to reducing the amount of food they

38、 eat. But, they can improve their diets even more with just a simple addition. American researchers have found that a diet rich in spices can help reduce the harmful effects of eating high fat meals.Pennsylvania State University Associate Professor Shiela West led an investigation of the health effe

39、c ts of a spice-rich diet. Her team knew that a high-fat meal produces high levels of triglycerides（甘油三脂） , a kind of fat, in the blood. She said, “If this happens too frequently, or if triglyceride levels are raised too much, your risk of heart disease is increased.”As part of the study, her team p

40、repared meals on two separate days for six men between the ages of 30 and 65. The men were overweight, but healthy. The researchers added about 30 milliliters of spices to each serving of the test meal, which included chicken curry, Italian herb bread and a cinnamon(肉桂树皮 )biscuit. The meal for the c

41、ontrol group was the same, but it did not include any spices.During the experiment, the researchers removed blood from the men every 30 minutes for three hours. They found that antioxidant activity(抗氧化活性 ) in the blood of the men who ate the spicy meal was 13 percent higher than it was for the men w

42、ho did not. In addition, insulin(胰岛素) activity dropped by about 20 percent in the men who ate the spicy food.Shiela West says many scientists think that oxidative stress leads to heart disease. And what exactly is oxidative stress? Think of an apple that has been cut in half and set aside for half a

43、n hour or so. The cut side of the apple turns brown. That is a simple explanation of what happens when oxidative stress comes in contact with the inside and outside of our bodies. Professor West says, “Antioxidants, like spices, may be important in reducing oxidative stress and thus reducing the ris

44、k of chronic disease.” She adds that the level of spi ces used in the study provided the same amount of antioxidants found in 150 milliliters of red wine or about 38 grams of dark chocolate.66. What does the author advise people to do in their diets? A. Eating large amount of food. B. Eating less fr

45、uits and vegetables. C. Eating more vegetables and fish. D. Eating small amount of food with spices. 67. What is the function of spices according to the passage? A. To h elp people lose weight. B. To cure chronic disease. C. To reduce the risk of heart disease. D. To cause oxidative stress.68. What

46、happened to the men who ate the spicy meal according to the experiment?A. The antioxidant activity in their blood became increased. B. The insulin activity in their body became increased.C. The level of triglyceride in their blood was increased.D. The oxidative stress in their body was strengthened.

47、69. What does Professor West show by citing the example of a half apple? A. The whole thing can be divided into two parts. B. It implies oxidative stress is harmful to our health.C. An apple is the only food that contains antioxidants. D. We can keep diseases away if we have an apple a day. ( B )Whi
