12、nteresting festival it is!. 閱讀理解A13、 Sometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesnt rea

13、lize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will protect itself or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or scared by other feelings, our bodies go through many

14、physical changes. Our hearts beat faster and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert（警醒） and ready to react（反應(yīng)）. We, too, get ready to defend（防御;保護）ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take

15、over（接管）, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isnt always clever to express your fee

16、lings freely.Does this mean that its smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden inside, your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop. It can actually be bad for your health. （It isnt good to keep pleasant feelings inside, either; all feelings need t

17、o be expressed）Feelings that you keep inside dont just go away. Its as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long youd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, maybe youd see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You c

18、an try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they dont exist（存在）,but theyll still be around. And at last youll have to deal with them just like those bananas.1The best title for this article is_.AFeelings Affect （影響） Our BodiesBWhat Happens

The first story is about connecting the dots(小圓點). Reed College, the college I attended

35、, offered perhaps the best calligraphy(書法) lessons in the country. Calligraphy was attractive to me, so I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I didnt hope for any real use of this in my life. It was just a hobby. But ten years, when we were designing the first Macintosh comp

36、uter, it all came back to me.You might be very confused about the meaning of what you are doing now. But you have to believe the dots will somehow connect in the future.

38、ut it turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happened to me. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.Im pretty sure if I hadnt been fired from Apple, I wouldnt become who I am now. The loss completed me. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Dont lo

39、se faith. Whats more, you have to find out what you love. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet, keep looking.

42、E17、People sometimes say, “Its raining cats and dogs!” when there is a heavy rain. Nobody has ever really seen cats and dogs falling from the sky, but there have been many reports of other strange things “raining” down. In 1956, the people of a town in the USA saw a small black cloud in the sky. It

43、started to rain from the cloud normally, but only in a small area. The cloud then turned white, and fish started to fall to the ground. Most of them were still alive.During a storm in July 1901, in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went

44、outside, they found all types of frogs covering four streets.There are other reports of strange “rains” failing from the sky including worms, insects and snakes.Can these strange “rains” be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado (龍卷風) has picked up the animals from a river or oc

45、ean, carried them for miles, and then dropped them somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of birds blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn (撕碎) to pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood f

46、all from the sky , and not other parts of their bodies?

49、ugust, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states(州) have more heart tr

50、ouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have mo

51、re intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on peoples feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usua

52、lly feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.
