11、 my days as a circus clown (小丑), but there is one day that I would rather forget: July 6, 1944. We were playing a two-day stand in Hartford, Connecticut, and the big top caught fire.I could hear grandstand chairs slamming inside the tent as people headed toward the exits. Some were jumping twelve fe
12、et from the top rows of the grandstand and seats to the ground outside. Most of the crowd was pouring through the regular exits and it soon became a panic. In the midst of this scene the musicians had kept on playing until the tent was on fire over-head because they knew music sometimes might work w
13、onder; they had jumped off the bandstand just before a flaming quarter-pole fell into their stand. City fire equipment had arrived by now and was pouring streams of water onto the big top area to cool it enough for firemen to enter. In the smoke and confusion, it was impossible to tell whether or no
14、t anyone might have been left in the tent. We circus people were ordered away from the smoking ruins that, only a few minutes before, had been the biggest spread of canvas in the world.I went outside; doctors, and first-aid workers were everywhere, carrying bodies 嘉兴市高中英语学科基地 eBase http:/第5页 共18页fro
15、m where the grandstands and seats had been. The toll (伤亡人数) of dead and dying increased so fast that emergency crews were called in from surrounding cities.Later it was found that 168 people had died in the fire the worst circus disaster in history, and an afternoon of horror I can never forget.21.
16、The musicians kept playing during the fire probably because they _.A. thought the fire was in another tentB. knew nothing about the terrible fireC. wanted to keep the crowd from panicking D. believed the show should go on whatever happened22. Why were emergency crews from other cities called in?A. T

18、Day the Big Top BurnedC. Memories as a circus clown D. The Worst Disaster in Human HistoryBIn a new look at the impact of long-time sitting behavior on health, a new study links time watching television to an increased risk of death. One of the most surprising findings is that it isnt just couch pot
19、atoes who were affected. Even for people who exercised regularly, the risk of death went up the longer they were in front of the TV. The problem was the long periods of time spent sitting still.Australian researchers who tracked 8,800 people for an average of six years found that those who said they
20、 watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause and 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular 嘉兴市高中英语学科基地 eBase http:/第6页 共18页(心血管的) disease than people who reported spending less than two hours a day in front of TV.Time spent in front of TVs and computers and vide
21、ogames has come under fire in studies in recent years for contributing to a spread of obesity in the US and around the world. But typically the resulting public-health message urges children and adults to put down the Xbox controller and remote and get on a treadmill (跑步机) or a soccer field. The Aus
22、tralian study offers a different view. “Its not the sweaty type of exercise were losing,” says David Dunstan, a researcher at Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, Melbourne, who led the study. “Its the incidental moving around, standing up and using muscles. That doesnt happen when we are plunked
23、 on a couch in front of a television.”Indeed, participants in the study reported getting between 30 and 45 minutes of exercise a day, on average.The results are supported by a new field of research that shows how long periods of inactivity can affect the bodys processing of fats and other substances
24、 that contribute to heart risk. And they suggest that people can help decrease such risk simply by avoiding extended periods of sitting.”Keeping such processes working more effectively doesnt require constant intense exercise, but consciously adding more routine movement to your life might help, doc
25、tors say. “Just standing is better than sitting,” says Gerard Fletcher, a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Fla., who works standing up at his computer. “When you stand up, you shuffle around a little bit and use muscles not required when you are sittin g or lying down.”Simple strategies fo

27、on TV watching in part because it is the main leisure-time activity in many countries, researchers said, especially in the US.24. One misunderstanding people might have is that _.A. the radiation from TV may badly affect your sight B. TV programs can broaden your horizons effectivelyC. watching TV v

Remote control shouldnt be used when people watch TV.B. People who watch TV too long should take more physical exercise.C. Sitting too long
29、 in front of TV will lead to high risk of heart attack.D. Long-time sitting is bad for all people including those who exercise regularly.26. According to the Australian study, how can the risk of death be reduced when people watch TV?A. By increasing simple movement.B. By totally avoiding watching T
30、V.C. By taking some medicine.D. By increasing sweaty type of exercise.CIn many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black childrens extraordinary tal
31、ents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level. Black students made up only 18 嘉兴市高中英语学科基地 eBase http:/第8页 共18页percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students wh
32、o received one or more out-of-school suspensions (暂被停学). A Black public school student is suspended every four seconds. Black students are more than twice as likely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out.So I applaud the U.S. Departments of E
33、ducation and Justice for their recent action to address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the juvenile (青少年) justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle to c
34、ollege, career and success pipeline, we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses.These resources, officially known as “guidance,” will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from
35、 discrimination (歧视) on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember
36、 those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago.While the guidance does not prohibit (禁止) schools or districts from using any particular nondiscriminatory policy, it does call into question some policies that have historica
37、lly excluded Black students and are of questionable educational value including “zero tolerance” discipline policies which require mandatory (强制的) consequences for certain infractions (违反), and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence.Information o

43、Base http:/第10页 共18页They Just Cant Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy the ability to understand other people and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. _31_ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men
44、will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, a
45、nd newborn boys look longer at a mobile. _32_ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other peoples feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. _33_ People whose jobs are in the construction indu
46、stries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经 ) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, wom
47、en have a better ability to multitask than men. _34_ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this i
48、s not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. _35_ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.
