26、one smiled a greeting, and theyappeared uninterested in Soapy. One little girl in particular moved like a wisp （ 纖弱的小東西） in the background. The staff informed me that she hadbeen there for over a month and had not spoken the entire time. Her mother said she had talked at one time but not in recent m

27、emory. I didnt want to imagine what could have happened to rob this little girl of the natural curiosity and enthusiasm so natural to childhood.Spreading a blanket on the floor, I sat down and put Soapy on the blanket.As the silent child circled past me, I told the group that Soapy would cometo talk

28、 to them if they sat on his blanket. Several children did this, including the silent girl. She sat rigidly at the edge of the blanket, legs held stiffly out straight in front of her. She was staring hard at Soapy.It appeared that he kept making eye contact with her. She didnt reach out to him or enc

29、ourage him in any way. Rather she sat tensely, just staring.Finally Soapy cameto a stop about two inches from her. He quietly reached out and laid his chin on her knee. I was astonished. While a commonbehavior for dogs, this is not a behavior exhibited by rabbits, especially not by this rabbit.The c

30、hild did not reach out to touch Soapy. Instead, she slowly leaned toward him. When her face was within inches of his, she carefully reached out and circled him with her arms. So softly that no one in the room could hear, she began to talk. Folded around the rabbit, she pillowed her head on his back

31、and whispered to him. Soapy remained motionless.I looked up and noticed that the shelter workers had stopped talking.Every adult in the room froze in place. Time seemed to have stopped.The little girl reappeared when I was preparing to leave. She reached her hands out and looked me directly in the e

32、ye. I held Soapy out to her.She wrapped him in a big hug and pressed her face against him. Suspended （懸 掛） from myhands as he was, I was concerned that he would begin to struggle. Instead he reached out his head again and laid it on the childs shoulder.His breathing slowed and he closed his eyes. As

33、 quickly as it happened, the little girl released her hug and stepped back. As she turned away, I thought I saw the beginnings of a faint smile.The rabbit in his cloud of soft, warm fur had touched something deep in the child something that had died from too much hard experience. Soapys innocence an

34、d trust appeared to arouse those very samequalities in the little girl. It seems the language of the heart is simple after all.The little girl didnt speak any word because .she liked staying silent and stillshe had no friends to talk withshe had too much hard experiencethe people in the shelter all

35、kept silentWhat is the correct order of the following events?The little girl gave a faint smile.Soapy reached out and laid his chin on her knee.The little girl carefully reached out and circled him with her arms.Soapys breathing slowed and he closed his eyes.The little girl began to whisper to Soapy

37、help to those in needthe heart-to-heart communication between animal and humanis powerfulBHow long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds?Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds as short as the blink of a

38、n eye is too long for most Internet users.A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.“ Subconsciously, you don t like to wait, ” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “ Every mil

39、lisecond matters. ”Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information. With so manypeople downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams” . Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster ser

40、vice.Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.Google said people do expect different things from different websitesbecause they realize not all loading

41、times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makesit difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and f

42、ast loading times.Pursuing a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the“ World Wide Wait ” . Butengineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions.

43、They laid a lot of fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Major search engines such as Google

44、 and Microsoft s Bing usually find search results in less than a second. But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing demands of Internet users.What does the report of The New York Times indicate?A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.A millisecond has nothing to do with t

45、he Internet speed.A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet users.Which of the following is NOT what engineers have done to improve the speed?Improving the quality of pictures on the Internet.Laying fiber optic cables for high-spe

46、ed transmissions.Placing computer servers throughout the world.Making software work more smoothly.What can be the best title of this passage?Don t make me “www.wait” .Search engines work faster.Traffic jams keep us waiting.The World Wide Web becomes popular.What s the writer s attitude towards the f

47、uture of the Internet speed? A. Confused.B. Disappointed.C. Confident.D.Discouraged.CHow Much Exercise Do I Need?When it comes to exercise, less is not more but it s certainly better than none. Physical inactivity accounts for as many as 23 percent of all deaths from major chronic ( 慢性的 ) diseases,

48、yet almost one of every three Americans is sedentary (spending a lot of time sitting down). According to the Centers for Disease Control, 29.4 percent of those surveyed report they have no free-time physical activity at all. City people tend to be more active than country folks, with 27.4 percent sa

49、ying they are sedentary, compared with 36.6 percent of those in rural areas.Light activity can improve physical and mental well-being. While light activity is good, moderate (not very large or very small) activity is even better, and health experts encourage everyone to have at least 30 minutes a da

50、y of moderate physical activity. But you don t have to head to a gym.As recent studies have confirmed, “ lifestyle ” activities, such as walking, house cleaning and gardening, are as effective as a structured exercise program in improving heart function, lowering blood pressure and keeping or losing

51、 weight.In one study, overweight, sedentary middle-aged menand womenwholearned behavioral skills to makethem more physically active, such as walking around airports or train stations while waiting for a departure, reduced their body fat percentage and improved their blood pressure and heart function

52、 as much as individualsparticipating in structured programs at a fitness center. Inanother study, fat womenranging in age from 21 to 60 who adopted a more active lifestyle lost as much weight as women in a low-impact aerobics （有氧健身 ）program and regained fewer pounds in the following year.Recognizing

53、 the value of different levels and types of activity, the American College of Sports Medicine has changed its recommendations on quantity and quality of exercise to include flexibility as well as aerobic and muscle exercise and to acknowledge that multiple short periods of exercise during the day ar

54、e nearly as beneficial as one long session.By saying that almost one third of Americans are sedentary, the author means .they take proper exercise to be healthythey know nothing about light activitythey are very fond of physical activitythey take little free-time physical activityWe can learn from t

55、he passage that .light activity is especially good for the middle-aged peoplepeople like light activity because it won t make them feel tiredpeople only need to do light activity three times a week to keep fitlight activity promotes people s well-being physically and mentallyWhat do health experts s

56、uggest about moderate activity?No less than half an hour s moderate activity daily can do us good.Moderate activity is no better than light activity to people.”Lifestyle “ activities don t belong to moderate activity.People may go to the gym to take moderate activity.According to the passage, which

57、of the following belongs to a structured exercise program ?A. Doing gymnastics at a gym. B. Taking outdoor activities.C. Walking.D. Gardening.DMany countries have passed safety laws that require seat belts in vehicles.A modern three-point seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a harness to prevent

A modern seat belt will help to position you proper ly to gain maximum benefit from your car s airbags that will inflate （使充氣）during a collision. Using a seat belt also prevents you

59、from being ejected （ 彈出）from a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.Seat belts have existed in different forms since the early days of automobiles, and they h

60、ave changed from a single lap belt to the three-point seat belt we use today. In 1911 the first airplane seat belt was installed. Then, in the 1920 s they were used in racecars. By the 1930s, a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to p
