Asteroids are bigger ones of the meteoroids （流星）that run across the night sky . Most orbit the sun far from the earth and dont threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision（碰撞）course with Earth . Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10million a year for the next 25 years to find the position of most of the space rocks. By the time we pick out a key one, the scientists say, well have a way to change its course. Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldnt be cheap.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any danger are: How likely the event is; How bad the results will be if the event happens. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of lives might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall , it would be the end of the world . “If we dont take care of these big asteroids, theyll take care of us,” says one scientist, “Its that simple.”The cure , though , might be worse than the disease . Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from the rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article.61. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?A. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.B. They are heavenly bodies different in nature.C. There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D. Asteroids are more secret than meteoroids.62. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B. Such a collision might happen once every 25 years.C. Its still too early to say whether such a collision might happen.D. Collisions of asteroids with Earth happen more often than expected.63. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to change the course of asteroids?A. It sounds practical but may not solve the problem.B. It may create more problems than it might solve.C. It is a waste of money because a collision with Earth is very unlikely.D. Further research should be done before it proves workable.64. We can conclude from the passage that .A. while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.B. asteroids running across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near futureC. the worry about asteroids can be left to further generations since its unlikely to happen in our time. D. workable ways still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with EarthBDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that youre “hot”. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people that peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues （自言自语）as “Get up , John ! Youll be late for work again !” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract （打乱）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to . If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle , but youll get up steam and work better at your low point .Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn （呵欠）and stretch . Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine （常规的）work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours .65. Which of the following causes family quarrels?A. Not knowing each others energy cycle.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family members energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy of other family members 66. If you want to work better at your low point in the morning, you should .A. change your energy cycle B. overcome your laziness C. get up early than usual D. go to bed earlier 67. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will .A. help to keep your energy for the days work B. help you to control your temper early in the day C. enable you to get your energy on your routine work D. keep your energy cycle under control all day 68. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Change Your Habits B. Save Your Energy C. Daily Energy Cycle D. TemperatureandEnergy Peak CScientists have discovered a gene （基因）that plays a role in violence （暴力）in men ill-treated in childhood . The discovery could explain why some experience unhappy childhoods and go on to normal lives, while others turn to violence, crime of antisocial deeds. But it will also restart another argument.Terrie Moffitt and Avshalom Caspi report in Science today that one common form of a gene in the brain makes men more likely to be violentbut only if they have experienced cruelty or rejection in childhood . The researchers followed up the life histories of 442
