Look closely at ,your hands-are they clean? It doesn't matter how many times you was  your hands. They're still crowded with microbes, which are also called "germs" or "bacteria". Microbes are everywhere. But don't worry-most microbes don't harm you. and many actually help you stay alive.
Now,  scientists say the microbes that live on our hands could be used in a surprising way: fighting crime.
When police visit the scene of a crime, they often look for fingerprints to try to identifythe criminal.  But according to a recent study, investigators could even use microbes to help break a criminal case.
Every person has his or her own set of microbes that live on their hands, according to scientists at,the University of:Colorado. That means the mix of different kinds of microbes on everybody's hand is unique-much like one's fingerprint.
The scientists wanted to know whether this microbe mix could be used as a new kind of fingerprint-especially in a crime scene where fingerprints might be hard to find.  And policemen use forensics such as studying fingerprints to identify the criminal.
"Microbe fingerprints are harder to hide," said Noah Fierer, one of the scientists.
"You can't sterilize(為……殺菌) a surface just by wiping it off. "
His team compared the bacteria on the hands of 273 people with the bacteria found on each person's computer keyboard. For the study, the keyboards had been used only by the people who were being tested. The study showed that the mix of microbes from each per- son's hands matched the mix of microbes on that person's keyboard. The scientists were easily able to tell the 273 people apart-just by looking at their keyboards.
But there are a lot more than 273 criminals. Other scientists wonder whetherthe microbe fingerprint can really be that useful. 
Fierer agrees that scientists have a lot more work to do before the microbe fingerprint will be a useful tool.
【小題1】According to the passage,  microbes on people's hands_____

A.do more harm than goodB.a(chǎn)re easy to get rid of

Over the past 20 years, AIDS and war have claimed the parents of 2.4 million Ugandan children.When Alexis Hefley first visited the country,, in 1993, she saw the children's sorrow, but the former Texas banker also spotted "a world of possibility".She watched as they danced for tourists to earn money, and she had a thought: If people in America could see them perform, they'd support them too.                   

The children's passion and talent inspired Hefley to work with the kids at an orphanage(孤兒院)in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, to organize a traveling dance troupe(團).The goals: to give the problems in Uganda a human face, to raise awareness and to raise money.

The first tour touched down at six American cities in 1994.Today, the 22-member troupe, known as the Spirit of Uganda, travels across America every two years.The young performers bring their energy and joy to audiences across the U.S.a(chǎn)nd help support hundreds of Ugandan orphans back home.Among the young dancers, some earn scholarships to attend the U.S.colleges, and then return to their country to help rebuild it.

Photojournalist Douglas Menuez first photographed the troupe in 2006 -?a project that led to his new book, Transcendent Spirit, from which these images are drawn.At each performance, the dancers' faces show pure joy, quite an achievement given the hardships they've faced."They look to the future, not the past," explains Menuez."They embrace beauty and good in the world." As one dancer puts it, "People think we have lost our parents.We've had so many problems.But then they see us perform.They see our smiles.And they learn that life goes on."

What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?     

       A.How miserable Ugandan orphans' life is.       

       B.How the dance troupe was set up.

       C.How the young dancers earned money.        

       D.How the orphans lost their parents.|

       A.It was started by a journalist.

       B.It travels across the U.S.a(chǎn)nnually.

       C.It consists of two dozen performers.

       D.Its dancers have chances to study in the U.S.

In the eyes of Menuez, the young performers are_____. 

       A.beautiful            B.talented    C.optimistic      D.humorous

What might be the most suitable title for the passage?      

       A.Ugandan orphans turn tragedy into dance

It was a   28   love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls (潦草地寫,亂涂) about her dream guy.   29   the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who   30   only had a few months left to live.

It was   31   a beautiful recipe (處方,食譜) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s   32   of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”

“Helped me when I was ill.” The next   33  reads. After that she turned   34   the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has   35  with and loved most in her life. “  36   there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote   37   all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”

I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to   38  as Janet was to him. I need to   39   what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.

“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years – not to mention the sickness? How do I know   40  I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”

“You can.” he says quietly, “If you love her enough, you can.”

The human body has hundreds of muscles. The three types are skeletal(骨骼的) muscles, smooth muscles and cardiac, or heart muscles. Each kind of muscle has a special job to do. 

The skeletal muscles are attached to the bones; they actually hold the skeleton together. Strong cords, called tendons(肌腱), help connect these muscles to the bones. Skeletal muscles give us strength and allow us to move in many ways. If you look at skeletal muscles through a microscope, you will see that it has bands of fibers that look like stripes(條紋). These stripes are called striations. Skeletal muscles usually move because the brain has sent a conscious message to them telling them what to do. This is called voluntary movement.

Another type of muscle is smooth muscle. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle does not have striations. This is found in organs such as the stomach, the bladder(膀胱), the lungs and the eyes. Smooth muscles are smaller than the skeletal muscles and they move involuntarily. The brain tells these muscles what to do, but we aren’t even aware of it. For example, we don’t have to think about breathing or digesting food. The smooth muscles just do their jobs automatically. For this reason smooth muscles are sometimes called involuntary muscles.

Like smooth muscle, cardiac muscle also works involuntarily. It is a very thick muscle that is found only in the walls of the heart. Its job is to pump blood out of the heart and into blood vessels called arteries(動脈). The arteries help carry the blood to all parts of the body. When the cardiac muscles relax, they let blood back into the heart. Cardiac muscles have striations, just like skeletal muscles do.

1.When we _______, the job is done by smooth muscles.

A.close our eyes      B.kick a ball          C.hug our friends     D.lift a suitcase

2.Skeletal muscles and heart muscles are alike because_______.

A.both can move voluntarily

B.both are thick muscles

C.both are bigger than smooth muscles

D.both have stripes called striations

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Heart muscles are very important because they give us strength and allow us to move.

B.The heart of human beings completely consists of heart muscle.

C.The skeletal muscles are connected to the bones by tendons.

D.Smooth muscle does its work without receiving message from the brain.
