When a person feels like running
27、away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outsid
28、e world; it can be created by a persons thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants(婴儿 ) are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain si
29、tuations because of an emotion. Psychologists think that there are two types of emotions: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals(吸引 ) to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They
30、include anger, fear, despair, sadness and disgust(厌恶 ). In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy. Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the per
31、son may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think proper
32、ly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination. 51. We learn from the passage that an emotion is created when _. A. one thinks of something bad or good B. one feels himself in danger C. one faces difficulty in the outside world D. one tries to escape from real life 52. Whic
33、h of the following is NOT true? A. Children learn emotions as they grow up. B. Babies are born with emotions. C. Emotions fall into two types in general. D.

A. strengthens B. tires C. supplies D. uses up gradually B There are a number of myths(神话 ; 荒诞的说法 ) about eyes and eye care. The following are some common misconceptions or
35、false statements with the true facts afterwards. Myths about Vision(视力 ) and Eyeglasses: Although eyeglasses make you see better, they make vision get worse over time. Eyeglasses will need to be constantly changed with higher-powered one. Overuse of the Eye or use of eye makes vision worse. Eye exer
36、cises can improve vision. Eating carrots can improve vision. The Facts: Of course it is possible that your eye power may also have increased as your age but this increase would have happened regardless of whether you wore the glasses or not. Using your eyes for any length of time does not make them
37、weaker. you may get tired and may even get a headache with long reading hours, but these symptoms(症状 ) have nothing to do with eyes getting weaker. There are no eye exercises that will help your eyes see better or that will prevent the nearsightedness from getting worse. The article “Can Eye Exercis
38、es improve vision?” provides information on how the concept(观念 ) of eye exercises helping vision came about. Some of the eye exercise methods are the “Yoga method” and the “See Clearly method”. Carrots wont improve eyesight for someone eating normal healthy food. However, carrots are rich in beta ca
39、rotene(胡萝卜素 ), which is changed into Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important in maintaining normal vision, and even a little lack of Vitamin A can cause night blindness. Therefore in the developing world, where lack of vitamin A is possible, eating carrots may be good advice. 55. According to

They thought someone was poisoning the people on purpose but no one knew how it was possible. Soon people took the position that the pork was poisoned. It was a popular food everyone
