阅读如下四篇短文，从每一小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最优选项。

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long­lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science si nce World War Ⅱ.Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.Many first­time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary，Mary Ruebush，an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system.And the latter position is gaining some ground.

Sometimes people call each other “scaredy-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 blood-stream.
Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.
Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.
Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings, 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 isn’t always wise to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feeling? No!If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel churned up inside. It can actually be bad for your health.
Feeling that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away. It’s as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you’d smell them. And if you open the cupboard, chances are you’d see little fruit flies hovering all over them. They’d be rotten.
You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard, you can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.
1. It is mentioned in the passage that human beings get into trouble because they______.
A. are not as alert as animals
B. sometimes can’t control their feelings
C. always do something wrong to other people
D. don’t pay attention to their physical changes
2. The underlined words “churned up〞in the 5th paragraph mean “〞.
A. very shocked
B. beaten heavily
C. very frightened
D. disturbed badly
3. The author wants to tell us in the last two paragraphs that______.
A. you’ll not completely get away from your feelings
B. you should treat emotions as bananas in a cupboard
C. feeling will gradually disappear when you hold them in
D. it is good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside
4. The author writes this article in order to______.
A. tell us that it isn’t good to keep feelings inside
B. give us some advice on how to express our feelings
C. make us deal with feelings in a wise way
D. make us know that it isn’t alw ays wise to express our feelings freely

The round-the-clock (24小时不断的)availability that cell phones have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 1, 300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report
negative“spillover〞between work and home life—and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.
Spillover essentially (本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call mom at work, telling her “microwave exploded〞,explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.
This may be especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time.
B ut for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected〞meant that work cut into home time, and family issues came into work life.
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, could look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are“reasonable〞. For their part, employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.
1. The underlined phrase“taking a toll on〞in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A. explaining
B. protecting
C. extending
D. damaging
2. What is the purpose of offering the example“microwave exploded〞in Paragraph 2?
A. To show the microwave is of poor quality.
B. To indicate how dependent the child is.
C. To indicate family issues affect work hours.
D. To show work time creeps into family life.
3. As a result of negative“spillover〞, people will feel ______.
A. less satisfied with their family life
B. less satisfied with their work
C. angry with their troublesome children
D. unwilling to get married at an early age
4. According to Chesley, what is the best solution to the problem caused by cellphones?
A. Refuse to use cell phones.
B. Separate work hours from family time.
C. Ignore coming calls during family time.
D. Encourage women to stay at home.
5. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. spillover makes the line between work and home unclear
B. cell phones seem to be convenient to families
C. cell phones affect men as much as women
D. we can do nothing to solve the problem
