16、 local time. He clocked an excellent 12.91 seconds to equal the world record set by Britains Collin Jackson in 1993. It is the first gold Chinese mens athlete has ever won from the track and field in the Olympics history. China has won over 100 gold medals from the summer Olympic Games since 1984 bu
17、t its male athletes only got one medal from Olympics most popular sport, the track and field. The Shanghai native, with his father a truck driver and mother an out-of-work housewife, loved sports when he was very little. Liu was selected to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai to p
18、ractice jumping as a fourth grader in the primary school. But after a bone test showing that he will not be able to become a tall man, Liu was asked to give up sports one year later, although he had won the national champion at that level. In 1998 when he attracted coach Sun Haipings attention as a
19、15-year-old jumper, Sun was a well-known hurdle coach and he believed a star was born at the first sight of Liu. He visited Lius parents several times and finally persuaded them to let Liu transfer to the 110m hurdles. After only three years, Liu launched his career in style in the IAAF Grand Prix i
20、n Lausanne in 2001 by breaking the world youth and Asian record with a time of 13.12. But the first warning he sent to the world was his bronze-winning feat（战绩） at the world indoor championships in Birmingham, England, last year. In 2004, Liu won the silver in the world indoor championships in Budap
21、est in March. Two months later, he proved the winner in a race against American great Allen Johnson in the IAAF Grand Prix in Osaka, Japan, where he clocked a new Asian record and worlds season best time of 13.06 seconds. He went on to win two Johnson-absent races in Lille, France, on June 26 and Za
22、greb, Croatia, three days later. He put up an exciting show at the Golden Gala meet in Rome on July 3, when he and Johnson clocked an identical time of 13.11. Race officials had to examine a photo finish to declare Johnson the winner. Liu did a better job of clearing the hurdles than Johnson, but Jo
23、hnsons stronger start ended up making the difference. The race boosted（提高） Lius optimism(乐观 ) for the Olympics, although Johnson bettered his season best time by 0.01 second in Lausanne, Switzerland, on July 6. The world has put the Olympics a Johnson-Liu duel but surprisingly Johnson crashed out of
24、 the Games after falling at the ninth hurdle at round 2. Johnsons early exit paved the way for Lius win. He finally took the gold medal and put a Chinese mans name on the record book.

But that night when my
29、dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying. Whatever it takes for us to
30、reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的 ) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying. Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become ki
31、nder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we dont even know we re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them. Just as crying can be healthy, not cr
32、ying holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you fee

A New Scientific Discovery 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 A A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier (边境 ). He carried a paper bag. And four feet ducks could be seen under the cover. The man found
37、an empty seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks legs at once and said, Whose is that bag Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, Ill have to take it away from the owne
38、r. Food mustnt be taken out of the country. Well, then, said the small man with a fat stomach. Hurry up and take it. We want to go home. The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage. At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at the ot
39、her passengers and said, I hope theyll enjoy the ducks feet. The rest of the bag had nothing but rubbish in it. Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied tightly (紧紧地 ) over the stomach, which was not really fat. I have the rest of the two ducks here, h
40、e said. With these words, he got off the train. But while he was happily walking to the exit with the bag in his hands, a policeman came up to him, saying, Hey, man!

Some birds like eating locusts. but bir
44、ds cannot easily catch them. Why It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from p
45、lants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night. If you study the animal life, youll find the main use of colouring is protecting themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. Th
46、is is because they have the colours much like the tree. Have you ever noticed an even more strange act A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger.
