24、were handed out was the most exciting for the children in the class. Every child was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year. As some jobs were more interesting than others, the children were eager to be given one of the best. Among them Rita stood out. She w

25、as a kind and quiet girl. Last year she carried out the teacher's instructions perfectly. She was the favorite to be given the best job-to look after the class dog. But this year there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing the books for the lessons, clean

26、ing the blackboard or looking after one of the pets. But Rita's job was very different. She was given a little box with some sand and one ant. Although the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita could not help feeling disappointed. "I will turn this little task into something

27、 great," Rita said to herself. She started to study everything about the little ant, gave it the best food and made the box perfect. The ant ended up growing quite a little bigger.One day, the teacher announced that Ritas class had been chosen to accompany Doctor Martinez to the tropical rainfo

28、rest to study all kinds of insects in summer, because the class had best cared for the little ant. The class was filled with joy. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible.

31、 seems small. CA great many people, when they speak of home, tend to connect it with a certain atmosphere, certain physical surroundings(環(huán)境), and certain emotional attitudes within themselves. This sentimentality(多愁善感) toward home is something that has come down to us from the past. Many modern peop

32、le do not have it, and I think it is a good thing that they do not.In the old days, life was difficult. Enemies could attack you and kill or rob you, and you had little protection against them. People did not live in well-built houses where doors could be locked. They did not have the protection of

33、an organized police force or telephones which could call the police instantly. How did this influence the way people felt about home? Small family groups clung(貼近) tightly together for protection against beasts and against other men. Today, thanks to modern transportation and well-organized society,

34、 thousands of people willingly and eagerly leave the surroundings where they were born, and the oftener they do so, the less sentiment they are likely to have for those surroundings. I lived in England for three years, and I noticed that boys and girls left their parents' homes and lived in plac

35、es of their own. There they could just telephone and ask an agency to provide them with a house or an apartment, which was their home. How has the meaning of this word “home” been changed by such activity? What does home mean to those people or to families who often move about, living in first one h

36、otel and then another? I believe that for them home means a place where they can have privacy.As for me, the atmosphere and surroundings of the place where my parents live have no sentimental attachment(依戀). Home is where I can shut the door and be by myself. When I left my parents several years ago

37、, I was anxious to leave. You might call it unfeeling, but that was the way I felt. On the day of my departure for the United States, my grandmother cried. My father, however, showed that he knew how I felt. "Son," he said, "I am not sorry that you are leaving us. I only hope that you

38、 make the most of your time." 53. Why are modern people willing to leave their parents' homes?A. Because they can afford the money to live outside.B. Because there are no wild animals or enemies around.C. Because the society provides them with the feeling of safety.D. Because they are not a

39、ctually satisfied with their environment.54. What can we learn from the article?A. Surroundings influence the way that people act.B. Not many modern people have sentimentality toward home.C. Rights to privacy are well protected in modern society.D. Older people can hardly understand the leaving of t

40、he young.55. What is the best title for the passage?A. The History of HomeB. People and HomeC. Different Ideas of HomeD. Ideas of Home Have Changed DDepression is not a choice. Rather, it is a true medical condition like high blood pressure or heart disease. In the United States alone, more than 17

41、million people suffer from depression with women being twice as likely as men to suffer from the disease. Depression crosses racial and socioeconomic lines. Anyone can suffer from it, and those that do are not "crazy" or "weak". They have a serious yet highly treatable disease. F

42、eeling down? Youre not alone. If depression seems pretty common, it is. One in every ten adults suffers from depression. And thats what has scientists confused. If depression causes harm to the body, why is it so widespread in the population? Some scientists think they may have the answer. Depressio

43、n may have an evolutionary (進(jìn)化) benefit. It may improve ones chances of fighting off infection (感染). Scientists have known that depressed people show an immunoreactive (免疫反應(yīng)性的) condition known as inflammation (炎癥), even when they are not infected. For several years they have been finding that genes

44、(基因) linked to depression also affect the function of the immune system. Stress, which can lead to depression, also change the immune system. These findings suggested that depression was somehow linked to the bodys ability to fight disease.Some scientists now come up with the idea that depression mi

45、ght have had an evolutionary advantage in the days before modern medicine and antibiotics (抗生素). Infection was a major cause of death in early human history. Surviving those infections determined which genes were passed to the next generation.They doubt that depression helped people, especially chil

46、dren, stay alive from infection. Extreme tiredness leads to inactivity and less social contact which helps keep infection from spreading. Having no appetite helps avoid food sharing which can also spread infection. Sleeplessness, which is associated with both depression and immune system activation,

47、 may have been a mechanism to keep a person alert(機(jī)警) to fight off enemies after injury.If scientists are correct about this link, it could lead to new treatments for depression. They are interested in drugs that treat conditions where the immune system attacks the persons own body, known as auto im

48、mune diseases. It is possible that medicine known to treat auto immune disease may be successful in treating depression also.56. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means _.A. there is a depression line between different groups and societiesB. people at a higher social position may tend to suffer

49、 from depressionC. people who are living with depression could connect with each otherD. anyone can get depression whatever their economic states and backgrounds are57. In Paragraph 2 the author _.A. introduces an idea on depressionB. gives an example to show his ideaC. explains how depression works

Women are less likely to suffer from depression.D. Modern medicine is widely used for treating depression.59

51、. The writer mainly wants to tell people that depression _.A. is serious but highly treatable diseaseB. could have its advantages in scientific researchC. may improve ones chances of fighting off infectionD. is a true medical condition like high blood pressure 七、閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的五個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選
