As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been 36 only once-for a woman who had merely fainted. But the 37 made me quite curious about how 38 this kind of thing happens.

The most common of the serious emergencies 48 heart trouble, strokes, and difficult breathing.

Let’s face it: plane rides are 49 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 50 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty 51 , but passengers with heart disease 52 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 53 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis（血栓）-the so-called economy class syndrome（综合症）. 54 happens, don’t panic.

Authorities did not release（公布）the gunman’s name, but Peters said he had no record of police contact or an arrest record while attending Northern Illionois.

DeKalb county coroner（验尸官）Dennis J. Miller on Friday released the identities of the four victims who died in the county: Daniel Parmenter, 20, of Westchester; Catalina Garcia, 20, of Cicero; RyanneMace, 19, of Carpenters-ville; and Julianna Gehant, 32, of Meridan.

“Two other victims died after being transferred to hospitals in other counties,” Miller said. Witnesses said the gunman, dressed in black and wearing a stocking cap, emerged from behind a screen on the stage of 200-seat Cole Hall and opened fire just as the class was about to end around 3 pm.

Officials said 162 students were registered for the class but it was unkown how many were there on Thursday.

Allyse Jerome, 19, a sophomore（大二学生）from Shunmburg, said the gunman burst through a stage door and pulled out a gun.

“Honestly, at first everyone thought it was a joke,” Jerome said. Everyone hit the floor, she said. Then she got up and ran, but tripped. She said she felt like “an open target.”

“He could’ve decided to get me,” Jerome said on Friday. “I thought for sure he was gonna get me.”

Lauren Carr said she was sitting in the third row when she saw the shooter walk through a door on the right-hand side of the stage, pointing a gun straight ahead.

“I personally Army-crawled halfway up the aisle（通道）,” said Carr, a 20-year-old sophomore. “I said I could get up and run or I could die here.”

She said a student in front of her was bleeding, “but he just kept running.”

More than a hundred students cried and hugged as they gathered outside the Phi Kappa Alpha house early Friday morning to remember Dan Parmenter, who was one of those killed.

Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coachers, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.

The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skill that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a fault in themselves.

Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates(激发)and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.

61．An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is _________.

A．to make sports less competitive

B．to increase their sense of success

C．to reduce their mental stress

D．to make sports more challenging

62．According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that _________.

A．it can help them learn more about society

B．it enables them to find faults in themselves

C．it can provide them with valuable experiences

D．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

63．Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes .

A．believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development

B．without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidence

C．in order to make them remember life’s lessons

D．so as to put more pressure on them

64．According to the passage parents and coaches should _________.

A．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

B．help children to win every game

C．train children to cope with stress

D．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports

65．The author’s purpose in writing the passage is __________.

A．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

B．to persuade young children not to worry about criticism

C．to stress the importance of positive support to children

D．to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement

A study published Monday found that people who sleep less tend to be fat, and experts said it’s time to find out if more sleep will fight fatness.

“We’ve put so much emphasis on diet and exercise that we've failed to recognize the value of good sleep,” said Fred Turek, a physician at Northwestern University.

Monday’s study from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk covered 1,000 people and found that total sleep time decreased as body mass index - a measure of weight based on height - increased.

Men slept an average of 27 minutes less than women and overweight and fat patients slept less than patients with normal weights, it said. In general the fatter subjects slept about 1.8 hours a week less than those with normal weights.

“Americans experience insufficient sleep and fat bodies. Clinicians are aware of the burden of fatness on patients,” the study said.

“Our findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may not be necessary, as an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night seems to be associated with a lower body mass index,” it added.

“We caution that this study does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between restricted sleep and fatness (but) investigations indicating success in weight loss via extensions of sleep would help greatly to set up such a relationship.”

The study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine along with an editorial by Turek and Northwestern colleague Joseph Bass commenting on it and related research.

In an interview, Turek said some studies have shown sleep causes declines in an appetite suppressing protein hormone, and increases in another hormone that causes a longing for food. In addition neuropathies（神经疗法）in the brain governing sleep and fatness appear to overlap（重叠）, he said.

Patness has been rising dramatically in developed countries and reached epidemic（流行病） levels in the United States, it added, leading to a variety of health problems.

66．What’s the passage mainly about?

A．People who sleep less tend to get fat.

B．Fat people need lots of sleep to lose weight.

C．Sleeping has nothing to do with fatness.

D．Fatness has been rising dramatically in developed countries.

67．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A．Lack of sleep causes declines in a desire limiting protein hormone.

B．Americans experience sufficient sleep and fat bodies.

C．The findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may be necessary.

D．Fatness has been rising dramatically in America.

68．Which of the following is NOT close to the underlined word suppress?

A．limit B．restrict

C．accept D．control

69．According to the passage, which of the following people is the lowest possible one to get fatness?

A．Americans B．Chinese

C．Japanese D．English

70．We can conclude the attitude of the author is according to the passage.

A．worried B．uninterested

C．critical D．optimistic

D

Dog walkers provide a 20 to 60-minute daily walk for a client’s（客户）dog, making sure the dog answers the call of nature and gets proper exercise. They often walk more than one dog at a time. Some walkers work for dog-walking services, especially when starting out. Others have their own businesses, and build by word of mouth and advertising. Dog walkers often work part-time, and some provide other services like pet sitting or transporting.

In N.Y.C., dog walkers usually earn about $25 an hour. If you work for a dog-walking business, you may earn less-if you are on your own dealing with several dogs at the same time, it may be more.

What do you have to do to be a dog walker?

First, have a real love of dogs, and have a good knowledge of how to get on with dogs. Try calling dog-walking services to find out about openings. If you’re on your own, you’ll need to network and market yourself. You might advertise your services in pet offices, grooming businesses, or neighborhood papers. You will need business cards and a mobile phone, and have good references and a clean background. You’ll also have to deal with taxes and insurance. You should be physically fit, friendly, neatly dressed and extremely dependable. Many dog walkers are bonded（被担保的）and insured, and this is a definite selling point to clients.

Of course, you will be cleaning up dog waste! You will also be outside in all kinds of weather. You may have to deal with dogs that don’t like each other ,and difficult owners. It’s also an up and down kind of business-clients can come and go.

For pet lovers, spending the workday with dogs instead of navigating office politics is its own reward! You are your own boss-you can dress casually, your doggy clients will love you unconditionally, and you’ll get some great exercise!

71．By writing the passage the writer tries to .

A．introduce you to a job B．enrich your knowledge about pets

C．advertise for a business D．tell you more about life in New York

72．The passage offers no information about how to as a dog walker.

A．find a client B．train a dog

C．get prepared D．make more money

73．One who wants to may find the passage helpful.

A．take up a weekend job B．keep a good pet dog

C．make money in his daily spare time D．be a part-time office worker

74．The last paragraph but one (beginning with “Of course”) is meant to tell you .

A．what dog-walking is like B．why dog-walking is worth trying

C．the unknown part of dog-walking D．the bad side of dog-walking

75．What does the underlined word casually in the last paragraph possibly mean?

A．as you like B．like a boss

C．in a dog-friendly way D．in nice clothes

Would you spend more time playing outside，reading，or studying? Well，now it’s your chance to turn off your TV and find out! TV-Turnoff Week is here．

The goal of TV-Turnoff Week is to let people leave their TV sets off and participate in activities from drawing to biking．The event was founded by TV-Turnoff Network，a non-profit organization which started the event in 1995．In the beginning，only a few thousand people took part．Last year more than 7.6 million people participated，including people in every state in America and in more than 12 other countries! This is the 11th year in which organizers are asking people to “turn off the TV and turn on life”．

According to the TV-Turnoff Net work，the average kids in the US spend more time in front of the TV (about 1023 hours per year) than they do in school (about 900 hours per year)．Too much TV watching has made many kids 　　　　　　　　　．In fact，in 2001’s TV-Turnoff Week，US Surgeon General David Satcher said，“We are raising the most overweight generation of youngsters in America history．This week is about saving lives．”

Over the years，studies have shown that watching a lot of TV leads to poor eating habits，too little exercise，and violence．Frank Vespe of the TV-Turnoff Network said that turning off the TV “is，or should be，part of a healthy lifestyle”．

“One of the great lessons of participating in TV-Turnoff week is the realization that every time I turn on the TV，I’m deciding not to do something else．” Vespe said．

TV-Turnoff week seems to be making a difference．Recent US Census（人口普查）data shows that about 72 percent of kids under 12 have a limit on their TV time．That’s up from about 63 percent ten years ago．

76．What’s the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words．)

77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? According to many studies，spending too much time in front of TV has many bad results．

78．Please fill in the blank in the third paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence．(Please answer within 10 words．)

79．Can you think of other bad results of watching too much TV? (Please answer within 30 words．)

80．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese．

Over half of the people say they haven’t got enough time to take exercise. 34.9 percent of them complain they don’t have places where they can relax themselves and that there are not enough trainng facilities. 12.9 percent of the people feel that they live too far away from the training centres. Some of them even don’t know how to train.

In order to improve health, people should realize the importance of physical training, and measures should be taken to provide people with training facilities.

W : Welcome to the program. This afternoon I’m standing in the middle of the northern Black Forest, with Rainer Sanger.

M : Good afternoon, Sarah.

W : Rainer, you’re very concerned about this area of the forest, aren’t you? Can you tell us why?

M : Well, much of the forest was wiped out in the terrible storm last winter, as you can see. Many of the trees are dead, and more are dying because of the damage. We believe that the government isn’t doing enough right now to make this beautiful forest get into its former state.

W : I see. But you have spoken to the government about this.

M : Hey Jenny; I’m home.

W : Hi Tom; anything new at work?

M : Yeah. The Lees asked us over to their house for dinner around 6:30 tomorrow night.

M : Yeah, let’s do that. We’ll get lost using this.
