Wc are, but were also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didnt even know about. A showerhead carries thousands o .f bacteria called Mycobacterium. These can cause problems lik ,e coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of being sick. When you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body.This is a finding of Norman R. Pace and his team at the University of Colorado, in the US. Paces team looked at 45 showerheads in nine American cities. They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium.But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health. Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry. He told the New YorkTimes that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thought. He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morning.But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms （微生物），he had some advice. Let the water run for 3（） seconds before getting into the shower. Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. If that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months.However, Pace had good news too. He has also been testing the air in US subways. Apart from iron particles （粒子），which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. The reason is that a trains movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels.21. From the finding of Norman R. Pace, after taking a shower, we might cough or feel tired because.A. its easy to get a cold when taking a baththe showerhead carries many bacteria causing illnessB. wc dont get cleaned while showeringwe dont get a weak immune system22. We can learn from the third paragraph thatA. the bacteria always threat peoples healthB. there is no need to fear microorganisms for people with strong immune system.C. the bacteria always threat peoples health when people have a showerD. it is better to do some exercise in the morning than have a shower.23. What contributes to fresh air in US subways?A. The trains movement.B. Iron particles.C. Train wheels.D. Air conditioners on the trains.A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections, whatever is scientifically possible will be done somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it a fuels sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.24. What can we conclude from the recent study?A. People hold mixed opinions about science.B. People think highly of science.C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.25. According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.C. The public will lose faith in bringing aboul a bright future.D. People will work more actively to put science under control.26. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because.A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of scienceC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD.the ties between different areas need strengthening27. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.B. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.D. The development of science mostly lies in peoples attitudes.CChinese writer Mo Yans Nobel Prize for Literature mightignitean explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.“Hopefully, the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,says Michel Hockx, professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”Jonathan Ruppin, web editor of bookseller Foyles, says Mos win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionarywriter. “We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available, Ruppin says. He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Hockx explains, Its mainly because there arc many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture “University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit between China and its international counterparts in particular,China knows incomparablymore about Europe and America than the other way round- and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.” 28.The underlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means A. start out B. burn up C. set off D. appeal to29.Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because,A.

He asked me to speak to the group. After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not conic. Finally, I gathered some courage.

This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering is successfully, I became more confident .1 said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.”I started delivering lectures in my plant, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has become a passion for me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.32. Which of the following is the hest title for the passage?A.
