In 1969 he suspe

18、cted that he was going to be imprisoned or killed because one of his plays was regarded as being an attack on leaders of Bulgaria. Markov managed to reach England and got a job with the BBC, writing something in Bulgaria.Some of the BBC programmes were critical of life in Bulgaria. Perhaps as a resu

19、lt of this, Markov received an anonymous telephone call warning him that he would be killed. In September 1978, Markov stopped his car in London and started to walk to his office. When he was passing a bus line, a man in the line seemed to drop his umbrella accidently. Markov felt a sudden pain in t

20、he leg.When Markov reached his office, he spoke about the matter to a friend. A few hours later, he began to feel hot. He was sent to hospital and died four days later. The doctors examined his body, and they were puzzled about the cause of his death. Scientists were asked to help and they found a t

21、iny metal pellet in Markovs leg. The scientists believed that the two holes in it must contain an unknown poison in them.A few weeks before Markov was “shot“ with a poisoned pellet fired from an umbrella, another Bulgarian had the same experience in France. Towards the end of August 1978, Kostov fel

22、t a sharp pain in the back when he was leaving a railway station in Paris. He was ill for a few days but became well. When news of Markovs death became known, Kostov was asked to return to hospital for examination. Doctors found a tiny pellet in his back, but it had stuck in an area from which the p

26、 his life30 Who is your role model? Normally the answer to this question would be anyone around you who you find truly inspiring. It could also be someone like J. K. Rowling or Martin Luther King Jr. who has proven to be strong and intelligent person.However, in todays world, stars are regarded as r

27、ole models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate their actions for two major reasons. First, to be fashionable and accepted by popular culture, and second, because stars actions are so well documented by the media that it seems to grab our

28、attention. Much of the reports about stars is shocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that arent right for teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.However, teens must take responsibility for their act

29、ions. We cant always blame stars for influencing us. Only you have control over yourself and only you choose to do something. Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.Now, who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step int

30、o the spotlight. With reporters following and recording every move they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be imitated. These people influence teens whether or not they want to. Why should someone who doesnt want to be setting an example set one? So, should we look up to them or to pe

31、ople who are true and good role models? Its our responsibility as teens to know right from wrong, and its time for us to take responsibility for our actions. In doing so, we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them.31 The t

35、amous stars choose to influence teenagers（C） teenagers choose those inspiring people as their role models（D）stars set good examples immediately they become famous35 Finally, there is some good news for older dads. A new study shows that their children and even grandchildren may get a health benefit

36、because of their older age. Its based on research into something called telomeres(端粒 )tips on the ends of chromosomes (染色体).Some previous studies have connected having longer telomeres with better health and longer lives. Telomeres havent been proven to cause those benefits in the general population

37、, but a number of researchers think they may hold secrets for things like longevity and cancer.As you age, telomeres shorten. However, previous studies have shown that the older a man is when he becomes a father, the longer the telomeres his children tend to have. The new research confirms that and

38、finds its extended to the grandchildren. Thats a cheerier result for older dads than some other studies in recent years that indicate their kids are at higher risk for things like autism (自闭症).Carol Greider of Johns Hopkins University, who shared a Nobel Prize in 2009 for telomere research but didnt

39、 participate in the new study, said its no surprise that the telomere effect would extend beyond children to grandchildren. She also said that since older fathers also tend to pass more potentially harmful genetic mutations (突变). its “not at all clear“ whether advanced paternal(父亲 )age gives an over

40、all health benefit to children. In a statement, the researchers who conducted the study said their study shouldnt be taken as a recommendation that men reproduce at older ages because theres a risk of genetic mutations.Some previous studies of the impact of older fatherhood have been less encouragin

41、g. In 2010, for example, at least two big studies confirmed a link to having children with autism. In 2008, a big Swedish study strengthened evidence linking bipolar disorder(狂躁症)to older paternal ages.36 Which of the following statements about telomeres is NOT true?（A）They are the tips on the ends

42、of chromosomes.（B） The older a man gets, the shorter they become.（C） Some researchers have connected them to longevity and cancer.（D）They have been proven to cause better health in the general population.37 According to the latest study, we know that the older dads are likely to_.（A）have children wi

43、th autism（B） be cheerier than younger dads（C） have children with shorter telomeres（D）have grandchildren with longer telomeres38 Why dont the researchers recommend that men reproduce at older ages?（A）Because they are more likely to develop bipolar disorder.（B） Because they are more likely to become i

44、ll all of a sudden.（C） Because they may pass more potentially harmful genetic mutations to their kids.（D）Because advanced paternal age definitely gives overall poor health to children.39 When older fathers read the previous reports mentioned in the last paragraph, they were most probably_.（A）cheerfu

45、l（B） discouraged（C） angry（D）moved40 What is the main idea of this passage?（A）Older parents are greatly encouraged by some good news.（B） Dads can have a great influence on their childrens development.（C） Older dads no longer need to worry about their childrens health.（D）Older dads might benefit the h

46、ealth of their children and grandchildren.二、Cloze40 In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police.
