When the fragments (碎片 ) land
26、ed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit
27、 the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometres wide enters the Earth s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils
28、 and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already
29、dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions.

30、. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs(恐龙 ) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disap

35、 59 Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that its best to sleep on a problem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day. Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, “Sleep h
36、elps us draw rules from our experiences. Its like knowing the difference between dogs and cats. even if its hard to explain. “ The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征 ) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if th
37、ey had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes (主题 ) that th
38、e words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey Universitys Sleep Research Centre, said, “People have been trying for years to fard out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorativ
39、e (有助恢复的 ) value. “ “ We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with it all. “ 60 The phrase“ to sleep on a problem“ in Paragraph 1 most likely means to_. （ A） pay full attention to a problem （ B） wait until later for a decisio

42、 It helps find out the common themes of words. （ C） It tells us that more sleep can improve health. （ D） It proves the value of old-fashioned advice. 63 When word got out that Doug Beardsley was introducing a new course this spring “ Hockey (冰球 ) Literature and the Canadian Psyche(精神 ) “ the 40 seat
43、s in the class were quickly taken. ESPN offered to fly him to New York for a TV chat show, and e-mail arrived from hockey fans and researchers from as far away as Texas and China. “They think they can learn something about us as a nation by learning about the game, about Canadian people. Theyre righ
44、t. “ says Beardsley. Students in Beardsleys class completed three research papers related to hockey. The reading list included famous works like The Divine Ryans by Wayne Johnston, The Good Body by Bill Gas ton and Les Canadiells by Rick Salutin. They are the kind of books that get at the true meani
45、ng of being Canadian. In Beardsleys words, hockey shows the very nature of the polite Canadian. “I think that a long with this peace-sharing, gentle image comes a need for mayhem(混乱 ). So we invent the game and whammo! you get on the ice and it serves as a way of letting out those energies that we d
46、ont allow ourselves elsewhere. “ says Beardsley, who added that the reason the game needs to be played in winter is our form of saying, “Look, even up here in the frozen north we can turn this around and make it work for us. “ “Im talking about something larger than what happens on the ice and so is
