We lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area. In the spring of 1948, when I was 6 years old, my parents bough
11、t a calf（小牛） to replace our cow, which had been killed the year before. So one day we drove to a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we named Tubby. We didnt own a truck, so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dads car with my 9-year-old brother, Steve, and me. As you can imagine, the
12、 trip was a lot of fun for us kids. Later that summer, Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubbys back. All went well until the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run, with me holding on for dear life. I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the groun
13、d. Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture, so we had photos of me both on and off Tubby! When summer had passed, the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill our freezer. I must have been somewhere else with my Mom on the fateful day, because I have no memory of how it happened. All I knew was
14、that the barn was empty, and that we had plenty of meat for dinners. I hadnt lived on a farm like my mother, so I didnt understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual. Liv estock arent meant to be pets, and most farm kids know and accept that truth. Whenever we had beef for dinner, I would t

20、h feelings of depression and anxiety. SPARX was designed and tested by the University of Auckland especially for young New Zealanders and was found to be as effective as other treatment equipment.

Early on e morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell as
26、leep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle. Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been c
27、aught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. T
28、hey came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he sh
29、ould make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine. Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric
30、 light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre. To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when y ou are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This
31、 unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messa
32、ges to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”. 28.According to the passage, Elias Howe was_. A. the f
33、irst person we know of who solved problems in his sleep B. much more hard-working than other inventors C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedw w w . D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams 29The problem Howe was trying to solve was_. A. what kind of thr
34、ead to use B. how to design a needle which would not break C. where to put the needle D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle 30.Thomas Edison is spoken of because_. A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine B. he got some of his ideas from dreams C. he was one of Howes
35、best friends D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep 31.Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because _. A. strange images are used to communicate ideas B. images which have no meaning are used C. we can never understand the real meaning D. only specially trained people can
36、understand them D. People can be addicted to(沉溺于) different things e.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的 ):they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are
37、compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit(以赊欠方式 ), charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can
38、 do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy. There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, how
39、ever, often buy things that they dont need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets(预算), but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, hav
40、e two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason. It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider peo
41、ples needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, an d so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy(疗法)” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who
42、feel that they have problems with money. 32. According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money _.

48、bout the negative publicity(负面报道)of such ideas. _ _37_ On the other hand, signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment.

49、 mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. 39 The answer is radiation(辐射). High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about the safety continues, it appears that it
