14、sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget

15、 bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in

16、the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or trea

17、t soldiers troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a

18、professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad

19、 events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure wed want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist（倫理學家）.Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common. “

20、People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph Le Doux, a New York University memory researcher. “All we want to do is to help people have better control of memories.”31.

33、to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful, says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (沖動) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in h

34、imself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. Whom the gods would destroy

35、 they first make mad. Keep cool, says George Herbert, for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. Anger, says Pythagoras, brings with folly ( 愚蠢 ) and ends with regret. You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the fe

36、elings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is mans last greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his

37、strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.39. What does the reader learn from the first paragraph?A. The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.B. Ones moral freedom is based on the control of himself.C. To cont

38、rol oneself is the most difficult in ones life.D. If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful.40.

39、 temper, you will soon be finished.C. If you cannot control yourself, you will become crazy.D. If you are mad, you will be punished by the gods.41.

41、 advise people not to lose temper so as to make and keep more friendsDIt seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries. While in China, Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and reform across health services. Gordon Brown, the UK P

42、rime Minister, has also announced he is planning to make some changes in our health service. The crux of Mr. Browns proposals are related to giving the NHS (National Health Service) a greater focus on prevention, rather than just curing patients. He is planning to introduce increased screening for c

43、ommon diseases such as heart disease, strokes, and cancer, for example, breast cancer. In Britain there are 200,000 deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes, many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about. Initially, the diagnostic (診斷的) tests will be available for t

44、hose who are vulnerable, or most likely to have the disease. One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery (動脈), a condition which kills 3,000 men a year.The opposition have criticized Mr. Browns proposals, saying that they are just a tr

45、ick, and claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes. They also say that Mr. Brown is reducing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them. The NHS was founded in 1948, and is paid for by taxation. The idea is that the

46、rich pay more towards the health service than the poor. However in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private healthcare, because its much quicker. NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long, so many people who can afford it choose to pay for medical care themselves.43

A. the NHS should be reformed right away. B. more and more people are dying from diseases. C. the plan to reform the NHS in the UK. D. the crit

50、icism of Mr. Browns proposals.E Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year, two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid-terms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the

51、 weekend before finals week, despite the Chemistry final being on Monday, they decided to go to the University of Virginia to party with some friends.They had a great time there. However, with their hangovers(宿醉) and tiredness, they overslept all day Sunday and didnt make it back to Duke until early

52、 Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire on the way ba

53、ck and didnt have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus.Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys, happily and relieved, studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate room

54、s and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin.They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solution(溶解). It was worth 5 points. “Cool,” they thought, “this is going to be an easy final”. They then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they sa
