Many students felt depressed(沮丧的) about making so many mistakes or got angry 46 the researchers were 47 them.
Lerner used a 48 video camera and recorded all their facial 49 during the test. The researchers 50 their reactions as fear, anger and disgust. Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress hormone(荷尔蒙) called cortical.
People whose faces showed more 51 during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as Diabetes, heart disease, depression and weight gain. When people feel fear, negative impacts (冲击、影响) 52 , but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the 53 . “Having that sense of anger 54 people to actually feel some power in what 55 is a maddening (令人发狂的) situation,” Lerner said.”

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates(气候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional (传统的), people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

B
There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets（水桶）. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.
Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.
Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”
And all that the old bucket could say was, “I know I’m not very useful, but I can only do my best. I’m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”
One day, the gardener heard that kind or conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”
Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的)earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.
64. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?
A. dirty B. dark C. worn-out D. plain-looking.
65. What was the old bucket ashamed of?
A. His past. B. His aging. C. His manner. D. His leaking.
66. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to
A. laugh at the old one B. take pity on the old one
C. show off its beautiful looks D. praise the gardener’s kindness
67. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?
A. Because it was used to keep a balance B. Because it stayed in its best condition
C. Because it was taken as a treasure D. Because it had its own function

Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower re
