People who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds．It's   36   that being full of vim（活力） and vigor（精力） helps the body   37   illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University（CMU） in Pittsburgh．

"We need to take more seriously the possibility that a   38   emotional style is a fighter player in disease risk," says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study's lead researcher．

In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who   39   to be cheerful and lively were   40   likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms （癥狀）．

Those findings were interesting, but they didn't prove that a person's   41   affects whether he or she gets sick． 42   it was still possible that a person's underlying personality is   43   matters．

  44   suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing（外向的）and   45  , with high self-respect and a sense of  46   over life．This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our   47   of catching colds．

To figure out which mattered more （personality or   48  ）, the CMU team   49   193 healthy adults．The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks．They told the researchers about the positive and negative   50   they had experienced that day．

The results showed that everyone in the study was   51   likely to get infected．Their symptoms（征兆）, however,   52   depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the   53   2 weeks．

Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．

 Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China’s high-speed railway system. And that’s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe．

China is negotiating(談判) to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 1 0 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore．

China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．  

If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days．The new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes．

    China’s bullet train(高速列車), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the World’s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours．

Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge(軌距), maintenance(保養(yǎng)) of railway tracks. So, it’s important to pay attention to every detail. But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion．

China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital（資本的）investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．

It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries．

For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west．We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they’ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．

China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because      ．

China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions

China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways

China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries

the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism

According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is      ．

A. technical issues             B. safety of the system  

C. financial problems          D. maintenance of railway tracks

Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude

   towards China’s high-speed railway plan?

      A. Critical．   B. Reserved．    C. Doubtful     D. Positive．

Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

      A. New Railway Standards   B. Big Railway Dreams

      C. High-speed Bullet Trains   D. International Railway Network

I shall never forget the night, a few years ago, when Marion J. Douglas was a student in one of my calsses. (I have not used his real name for personal reasons. As he requested.) But here is his real story as he told it before one of our adult – education classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice. The first time he had lost his five-old daughter, a child he adored. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss; but, as he said:“Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”

This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn’t take it,” this father told us. “I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.” At last he went to doctors; one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip. He tried both, but neither helped. He said:“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice(大鉗子), and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief(悲傷)——if you have ever been paralyzed(使癱瘓)by sorrow, you know what he meant.

But thank God, I had one child left ——a four —year— old son. He gave me the solution to my problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked; ‘Daddy, will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent little fellow! I had to give in.

 Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished, I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy.

The following night, I went from room to room in the house, making a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired: bookcase, stair steps, storm windows, window-shades, locks, leaky taps. Amazing as it seems, in the course of two weeks I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention.

“During the last two years I have completed most of them. I am busy now that I have no time for worry.”

No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said :“I am too busy. I have no time for worry.”

55.The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to          .

A.having lost a loved one                                         B.having lost a valuable article

C.having lost a profit-making business                D.having lost a well-paid job

A.he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family

B.he was suffering from sleeplessness disease

C.he couldn’t get out of mental pressure

D.he felt tired of adult-education classes

57.Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because           .

A.he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend them

B.he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them

C.the items had actually been broken and needed attention

D.repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind

58.At the end of the passage, the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to         .

A.prove that he followed Churchill’s example

B.support his student’s solution to his problem

C.show that he was successful in his career

D.clarify how his conclusion was reached
