Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the , was a good and ti reless writer, and he wrote The Declaration of Independence. T here is much we can learn from him. Here are some of the thing s he said and wrote:
Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowle
dge from many sources besides books, and personal investigati on is important as well.
Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other people’s o pinions without careful thought. “Neither believe nor reject anyth ing,” he wrote to his nephew.
Learn from everyone. Jefferson once visited the French noblem an, Lafayette, and said to him, “You must go into the people’s h ome as I have done ,
look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only d o this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied. ”
Do what you believe is right. In a free country, there will always be conflicting ideas, and this is a source of strength. It is not u nquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive. T hough Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticis m, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy, “There are two sides to every question. If you take one side wit h decision and act on it with effect, those who take the other sid e will of course resent(憎恶)your actions. ”
Trust the future and trust the young. Jefferson felt that the pres ent should never be chained to customs which have lost their u sefulness. “The earth belongs to the living generation. ” He didn ’t fear new ideas, nor did he fear the future. “How much pain ha s been caused by evils which have never happened?” he remar
ked,“I expect the best, not the worst. ”

62. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Jefferson’s Great Works
B. Jefferson’s Philosophy
C. Jefferson’s Teaching
D. Jefferson's Life Story

In the late 1970’s,many people in North America turned their att ention to environmental problems ,
and new steel — and — glass skyscrapers were widely criticize d. Some ecologists (生态学家)
pointed out that a number of tall buildings in a city often overbur den public transportation.
Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers of electric power and w ater. In just one recent year, the addition of 17 million square fe et of skyscraper office space in New York City itself has already raised the top daily demand for electricity by 120, 000 kw — en ough to supply the entire city of Albany in New York area for a s ingle day.
Glass—
walled skyscrapers can also be especially wasteful. The heat lo ss ,
or gain, through a wall of half 一 inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical ordinary wall filled with bricks or board. In order to decrease the pressure on heating and air — c onditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to u se double—layered glass ,
and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that could reduce glare (强光)
as well as heat gain. However, mirror — walled skyscrapers ma y raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighb oring buildings as well.
Skyscrapers put a severe pressure on a city's sanitation (卫生)
facilities, too. If fully occupied, the towers just within the central area of would alone produce 2. 25 million gallons of waste wat er each year^—
as much as the city size of Stanford, Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109,000.
63.The underlined phrase“ lavish consumers ”in the 2nd paragr aph probably means ____
A. trash producers
B. great spenders
C. pressure makers
D. poor customers
64.Glass walls of skyscrapers are specially mentioned in order t o _____.
A. show how skyscrapers manage to lessen their pressure
B. explain why skyscrapers can control its air conditions
C. describe further how wasteful skyscrapers could be
D. present the stability of skyscrapers in modern buildings
65.From the last paragraph we can learn that _____.
A. central skyscrapers are a large waste water producer
B. the central area of New York is as large as the city of
C. more than 109,000 people live in the skyscrapers in
D. produces 2. 25 million gallons of waste water each year
66.When the writer talks about skyscrapers ,
his tone sounds _____
A. positive
B. doubtful
C. grateful
D. negative

Yawning sends out certain messages -either “Oh,
this movie is so boring” or “I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool d own when it is overheated?
A new study, led by a research team at , has indicated that ya wning could be the brain’s natural way of regulating temperatur e. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lo wer than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn whe n it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily. com.
The research team did an experiment on 160 people, 80 in sum mer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at diff erent air temperatures. The study found that people yawned mo re often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchang e between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are l ess likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.
When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched ,
which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brain The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be r elated to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer the y spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 per cent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside , but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 perc ent.
However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.
According to , this is the first report to show that yawning freque ncies change depending on season. This could help us to unde rstand better the way our brains work. It may also help us under stand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sig n of brain disease.
67. The purpose of the experiment is ______.
A.to find the frequency of people’s yawning
B. to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturally
C. to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equally
D. to show the real reason why people yawn
68.The information we get from Paragraphs 5 and 6 is that ____
__.
A. longer outdoor summertime results in more yawns
B. yawning frequency increases with outdoor time
C. yawning frequency changes with outdoor time
D. longer outdoor wintertime leads to fewer yawns
69. Acorrding to the text,people yawn more often ______.
A. when the air temperature is equal to the body
B. when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotter
C. when the air temperature is higher than the body
D. when the air temperature is lower outside the body
70. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Yawning Is A Sign of Brain Disease
B.Yawning Cools Your Brain
C. Yawning Benefits Your Body
D. Yawning Carries Some Information
