(2012·宁德质量检测)US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life.
The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado.
“This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars，” said Boulder's research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters.
“The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.”
Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon (溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing (使淤积) sediment (沉积) which formed a delta (三角洲)．
“Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us，” said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.
Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.
The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.
Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.

(2012·太原市部分重点中学联考)
Mental and health experts believe personality plays an important part in how we experience stress. Personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks.
Some people are aggressive and always in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. They belong to “Type A” personality. Studies suggest that these people often get stress­related disorders. The “Type B” personality is calmer. These people are able to deal with all kinds of situations more easily. As a result, they are less affected by stress.
Studies have also shown that men and women deal with stress differently. Women seem to be better able to deal with stress than men are.However, experts say women are three times more likely to develop depression in reaction to the stress in their lives. American writer John Gray became famous for his book，“Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”．He notes that men and women have opposite ways of dealing with stress. For a man，the best way is to rest and forget about daily problems. But a woman suffering from stress needs to talk about her problems.
Experts say there are several ways to deal with stress including deep breathing, exercise, eating healthy foods, getting enough rest and balancing the time spent in working and playing.Exercise is one of the most effective stress­reduction measures, as physical changes from exercise make you feel better. In addition, exercise can also improve the body's defense system against disease.
Keeping stress to yourself can make problems worse. Experts say that expressing emotions to friends or family members or writing down your feelings can help reduce stress. And they also suggest that people should attempt to accept or change stressful situations whenever possible.
语篇解读：由于人的个性差异，每个人处理压力的方法是不一样的，而且男人和女人在处理压力方面表现得也不一样。让我们一览文章，去看看这种差别在哪里。
5．According to the experts，________.
A．people respond to stress quite differently
B．people make the same response to stress
C．unlike women, men tend to feel depressed more easily
D．personality has nothing to do with how we experience stress
解析：推理判断题。从文章第一段可知，性格影响人们处理压力的方式，同时第二段提到了A型和B型性格的人处理压力的不同方式，第三段提到了男人和女人处理压力的不同方式，由此可知，专家认为人们处理压力的方式是不同的，因人而异，故答案选A项。
答案：A
6. Compared with “Type A” personality, “Type B” personality ________.
A．causes more troubles
B．is less able to cope with different situations
C．is more easily affected by stress
D．tends to solve problems more peacefully
解析：细节理解题。从文章第二段中的最后三句可知，B型性格的人对待压力时更倾向于用平和的方式处理，故选D项。

A．experience emotions in a different way
B．cope with stress in a different way

解析：推理判断题。从第三段中的“...men and women have opposite ways of dealing with stress”可知，John Gray意在说明男人和女人处理压力所采取的方式是不同的，所以答案选B项。
