But few know that it also created problems for Darwin at home with his deeply religious wife, Emma. “Darwin held back the publication of On the Origin of Species to avoid offending (触怒) his wife,” says Ruth Padel, the naturalists great great granddaughter. “Emma told him that he seemed to be putting God further and further off”, Padel says in her north London home. “But they talked it through, and Emma once said, Dont change any of your ideas for fear of hurting me.”As the world celebrates the 200th birthday of the man who changed scientific thought forever and the 150 th anniversary of his book today, even his opponents admitted he was a giant figure.Though opposition to his theory continues, it is the elegant explanation of how species evolutes through natural selection that makes his 200th birthday such a major event.More than 300 celebrations have been planned in Britain alone, where Darwins face graces (使增光)the 10-pound bill along with that of Queen Elizabeth II.Shrewsbury, the central England town where Darwin was born and raised, is holding a month-long festival for its most famous son. Down House, his former home near London, will hold a permanent exhibition recreating some of his most famous experiments.Many more events have been planned all over the world. What would he be doing if he were alive today? Padel thinks he would properly be studying DNA and the immune system.21The main purpose of the author is .Ato say something about Darwin and his wifeBto introduce Charles Darwin and his theory of evolutionCto sing high praise for the book On the Origin of SpeciesDto report some celebrations of Darwins 200 th birthday and the 150 th anniversary of his books22Which of the statements is NOT true based on the passage?AEveryone agrees with Darwin now. BDarwin was brought up in Shrewsbury.CEmma was not really fond of his theory. DDarwin was very interested in living things.23The underlined phrase “held back” in the second paragraph probably means .Aprevented fromBkept a secret Ccared aboutDput off24It can be inferred that the passage is most probably . Aa scientific report Ba news report Can English compositionDa text B When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking warmly. Every now and then she stopped to smile at meShe was reading to me an e-mail from my brotherIt was very cool and lovelyRachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver on line by an attractive male or female or by a clown（小丑）The software , which is free , can be downloaded at . Facemail faces are lifelike , and they simulate（仿照）emotions based on emotions that you put in your text The company that develops the Facemail, is sure there will be broad uses in many fieldsThe reason why e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale ? And it is talking with Whirpool Company about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridgeThen if Mom cant be home when the kids get back from school , she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eatFacemail could get hot fastPersonally , Im a fan. Facemail is lively and funny at first , but if you select the clown , put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, youve got a crazy mail.25The main advantage of Facemail is that Athe e-mail can be read in a more lovely way Byou can talk with the person who sends you the e-mailCyou can put your own emotions in the e-mail as you likeDyou can write an e mail to anyone26We can infer from the passage that Facemail Ais a software hard to download Bwill take the place of the e-mail system Ccan destroy your e-mail if not properly used Dis likely to be used in other ways in our daily life and work27The writer mentioned Nike website and Michael Jordan to show that AMichael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike website Bfamous people like Michael Jordan also like to use Facemail CFacemail can make shopping on the Internet more interestingDNike company is increasing its sales through the fame of Jordan28The writer thinks .AFacemail is cool and funny BFacemail is a danger to the Internet CFacemail needs further improvement Dpeople should be careful with FacemailCLatest research shows that yawning(打哈欠) helps in keeping the brain cool, which is quite different from the popular belief that yawning promotes sleep and is a sign of tiredness. Yawning involves opening the mouth while taking a long, deep breath of air. It is commonly believed that people yawn as a result of being sleepy or tired because they need oxygen. However, researchers at the University of Albany in New York said their experiments on 44 students showed that drawing in air helps cool the brain and helps it work more effectively. They said that their experiments showed that raising or lowering oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood did not produce that reaction.Study participants were shown videos of people laughing and yawning, and researchers counted how many times the volunteers responded to their own “contagious(传染性的) yawns,” reported the online edition of BBC News. The researchers found that those who breathed through the nose rather than the mouth were less likely to yawn when watching a video of other people yawning. This was because the blood vessels（脉管）in the nasal cavity sent cool blood to the brain.The same effect was found among those who held a cool pack to their forehead, whereas those who held a warm or room-temperature pack yawned while watching the video.“Since yawning occurs when brain temperature rises, sending cool blood to the brain serves to maintain the best levels of mental efficiency,” the authors wrote in the journal Evolutionary Psychology.29.
