Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game, they don“t hesitate to discuss

7、the fat problem incessantly. However, women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an arti

8、cle of clothing. The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30“s, but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. I“ve watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with

9、a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me, with a sheepish grin, that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them “tailored“. Still older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Ofte

10、n wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother, a former college football player, as an example. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out, “Fat, medium or thin?“ She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin wo

11、uld be an obvious stretch, and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife, he stands in front of the mirror in the morning (before the day“s meals take their toll), puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend, then clutches the roll that has developed and says, “Am I g

12、etting fatter?“ His wife is expected to answer, “You look like you may have lost a few pounds.“ And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one, he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn“t eaten si

13、nce the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie, we sprint to a restaurant, where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup, he grows plaintive. Do I think he“s fat?（分数：7.00

But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or heraside perhap

18、s from a few remarks or readily observable traits. 2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits, even very minor difference in how a person“s eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes

19、 you see him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory informationthe sights and sounds of your world. These incoming “signals“ are compared against a host of “memories“ stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these new signals “mea

20、n“. 3 If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar and safe“. If you see someone new, it says, “new-potentially threatening“. Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other “known“ memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, and tone o

21、f voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics are, the more your brain may say, “This is new. I don“t like this person“. Or else, “I“m intrigued“. Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestureslike your other friends; so your brain says, “I like

22、 this person“. But these preliminary “impressions“ can be dead wrong. 4 When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth

23、 of peopletheir history, interest, values, strengths, and true characterwe categorize them as jocks, geeks, or freaks. 5 However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, h

24、opes, dreams, and become aware of the person“s character, we use a different, more mature style of thinkingand the most complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 2 1 A.

28、分数：0.00)五、第一篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)The Greatest Show on EarthThe Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world.

The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march r

30、ound the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being heldthe host countrymarches in last. The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from th

31、e host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display. The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.

32、 The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sportriding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded

33、 for the individual winners and for national teams. More and more women are taking part in the Games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics. Women“s swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and fi

38、 of the MindA panic attack is a sudden feeling of terror. Usually it does not last long, but it may feel like forever. The cause can be something as normally uneventful as driving over a bridge or flying in an airplane. And it can happen even if the person has driven over many bridges or flown many

39、times before. A fast heart beat. Sweaty hands. Difficulty in breathing. A light-headed feeling. At first a person may have no idea what is wrong. But these can all be signs of what is known as panic disorder. The first appearance usually is between the ages of 18 and 25. In some eases it develops af

40、ter a tragedy, like the death of a loved one, or some other difficult situation. In the United States, the National Institute of Mental Health says more than two million people are affected in any one-year period. The American Psychological Association says panic disorder is twice more likely in wom

41、en than men. And it can last anywhere from a few months to a lifetime. Panic attacks can be dangerousfor example, if a person is driving at the time. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge in the state of Maryland is so long and so high over the water, and it is famous for scaring motorists. There is even a driv

42、er assistance program to help people get across. Some people who suffer a panic attack develop a phobia, a deep fear of ever repeating the activity that brought on the attack. But experts say panic disorder can be treated. Doctors might suggest anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medicines. Talking to a

43、 counselor could help a person learn to deal with or avoid a panic attack. There are breathing methods, for example, that might help a person calm down. Panic disorder is included among what mental health professionals call anxiety disorders. A study published last week reported a link between anxie

44、ty disorders and several physical diseases. It says these include thyroid disease, lung and stomach problems, arthritis, migraine headaches and allergic conditions. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada say that in most cases the physical condition follows the anxiety disorder. However

45、, they say, exactly how the two are connected remains unknown.

49、lear Power and Its DangerNuclear power“s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation. Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can“t be seen or heard, or touched, or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can“t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can“t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radi
