16、 few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace (步速) felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attention
17、to pace when she was setting such a nice one? Id overtake (追上) her later on when she was tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was
18、beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You dont chat during a race unless you are feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she was t
19、ired, so I didnt give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes.
20、When I looked up, Peggy was moving away-first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no hope of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so
21、clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, and I can say it is often hard work.56.

22、 test of his strength. D. It would be a good learning experience.57. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?A. Peggy overtook the young runner. B. Peggy was running energetically.C. Peggy was laughing as the writer. D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.58. By saying “a long,
23、 punishing hill” (paragraph5) , the writer implies that _.A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltop B. men are more skilled at climbing hillsC. overtaking Peggy would be easy D. climbing the hill would be a difficult task59. What lesson does the writer learn from the race?A. Women are as good as men
24、in sport.B. Women are better at climbing hills.C. He should have more training in a cross-country race. D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.BFor most of us, the rain that falls on our roof runs off into the ground or the sewer (下水道) system. But if you want to save a little wat
25、er and reuse it on your lawns (草坪) or plantsor even use it for laundry, dishes, or other needscollecting rainwater from your gutters downspouts (檐槽的水落管) is a no-brainer.According to John C. Davis, writing in E/ The Environmental Magazine, just about any homeowner can collect rainwater, given that th
26、e roof and gutters do most of the work. And since an inch of rain falling on a 2,000-square-foot roof produces some 1,200 gallons of water, you can harvest enough to water your lawn or garden.Plants and grass actually do better when fed rainwater instead of tap water, which is usually treated with s
27、ubstances that can hold back plant growth. Using rainwater can also extend the life of pipes, since the salts added to tap water may gradually damage the pipes. However, homeowners should set up a water purification (净化) system if they do plan to use rainwater for inside needs.Rainwater harvesting c

So some states fund rainwater collection systems in their local communities. Seeking to help the countrys sometimes bad-tempered

38、ward in treating this problem,”said Professor Peter Barnes.Ten healthy volunteers(志愿者) were given theobromine, codeine or a placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels
39、of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicines are stopping coughs.The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin needed to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given cod
