26、 1922 in Rigby, Idaho, the hometown of Philo Farnsworth. At the age of 16, Philo was a very shy boy. Only his science teacher, Justin Tolman, realized that Philo was a special person. One day after school Mr. Tolman found Philo in the classroom. The boy was making drawings on the chalkboard. “What a

27、re you doing?” Mr. Tolman asked with interest, “What are these drawings?” “I want to invent things,” Philo answered, “and these are the drawings of one of my first inventions. I have an idea for a way of sending pictures through the air. Please, just let me tell you about it. You are the only person

28、 who can understand what I have done.” In the school library Philo had read about a man who had worked on an idea for television, but had failed. Philo was sure that his own idea was better and that he could succeed. Mr. Tolman was not sure and asked Philo many questions about the drawings. Giving f

29、acts and figures, Philo answered every question. In 1926, Philo sent his drawings to Washington, along with a letter asking for the patent rights on television.

32、he has sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.Then, consider this: you might be in a state of sub-health. Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline（界限）state between health and disease.According

33、 to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions,

34、 insomnia, anger, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part

35、in open air activities.As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements - vitamins and other elements that are important to the body.Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to e

36、at too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.60. According to this passage, which of the following is true?A. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should stay at home and keep si

37、lent.B. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.C.

39、ard B. sleep moreC. form good living habits D. take more medicine63. The underlined word “alternate” in this passage is closest in meaning to _.A. arrange by turns B. cause to take place C. keep oneself busy with D. get tired ofc·Put sunscreen (防曬油) on before going out in the sun.·Take it

40、with you.·Use it after a swim. every hour or so while playing outdoors. if you get sweaty.·Cover up when the sun is overhead 10 a.m.2 p.m. especially at lunch time.·Get your suntan (曬黑) gradually and not too much.·Controlled exposure (暴露) to sunshine helps avoid skin cancer.Ask y

41、our chemist to recommend a suitable sunscreen.Queensland Cancer FundP. O. BoxSpring Hill, QLD.4000Phone (07) 8397077Provided for community awareness by the Queensland Cancer64.

44、vice. A. the seller B. the advertiser C. your doctor D. your parentsDDr. Wiseman started the “l(fā)augh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humor. Participants are invited to log on the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes t

45、old by other people. Their project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the worlds funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences betwe

46、en males and females sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh. This is a subject that has long interested psychologists (心理學(xué)家) and philosophers (哲學(xué)家). Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society ex

47、pects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted (公認(rèn)的). This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women d

48、o have different senses of humor, for example. “Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior (高傲的，有優(yōu)越感的) to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.” Researchers also fou

49、nd that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp, “Youre a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $ 500?” “Yes. Whats the second question?” The Germans are famous

50、 for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I dont know, but lets say yes, just to be safe. Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jo

51、kes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief (安慰). Computers already seem like they can do everything. But at least they should leave the funny things to us.68. The scientist started the “l(fā)augh lab” project _. A. to find the

52、 funniest joke in European countries B. to know what funny people are from different nations and cultures C. to find out the differences between the males and females sense of humorD. to get more personal details about participants69. The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the G

53、ermans_. A. to show that the French people have a better sense of humor B. to prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humor” C. to show people from different nations have different senses of humor D. to prove that the Germans have no sense of humor70. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. The jokes by computer are less funny than those by humans. B. The Germans cannot find the submitted jokes amusin
