I had actually tried to connect with this little lady a few weeks ago but she cant speak English and has dementia (老年
2、痴呆症). A caregiver was in with her and speaking but the lady wasnt responding.I took the lady into the bathroom and she was crying and looking in the mirror. To calm her down I started to brush her hair, it was all wet. The caregiver left and I grabbed a small towel(毛巾) and dried her hair as well as
3、gently rubbing her head. She just kept crying and was terribly upset. So I wrapped my arms around her, rubbed her back and hugged her. At the same time, I was talking very quietly to her and rocking her.She sobbed(呜咽) in my arms. When she calmed down I sat with her and then, as she was Italian I kis

8、e. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill (跑步机),burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate (调节
9、) its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperaturesand quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor
10、 exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.Of course, the threat of smog in so
11、me built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or reside
12、ntial area to avoid car exhaust (废气),and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.25.

15、he store with milk. That is allmilk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husbands niece. And that is
16、the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days. Now scientific research supports this theory about male
17、 and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all alongmen and women think differently. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or he
18、misphere. In the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side. Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She
19、 co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something complicated they might use different parts of the brain. But men generally use just one. As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of the
20、ir brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with “reason” and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution. Thanks for your listening. Im your announcer Anna Matteo. 29. From Paragraph 1, w
21、e can learn that women_. A. are more hard-working than menB. are more multi-tasking than menC. are more careful than menD. go shopping more than men30.

A. that men and women really think differentlyB. who want to go shopping more, men or womenC. why women want to do many things at one timeD. that men and women all like to drink milkDIts well known to
23、car drivers that red means “stop”, green means “go”, and yellow means “hurry up and make that damn light”. Why those colors, though? The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars. They were red and green, gas-powered, and more than a little dangerou
24、s in the event of a leak.Red is an inherited(继承的) symbol from railroads, which symbolizes danger in many cultures. As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum (光谱),it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors. Red has meant “stop” since long before cars ex
25、isted, with train signals use of red dating back to the days when mechanical(机械的) arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear.Greens wavelength is next to (and shorter than) yellows on the visible spectrum, meaning its still easier to see than any color other than red and ye
26、llow. Back in the early days of railway lights, green meant “caution”, while the “all-clear” light was, well, clear or white. It is said that several disastrous collisions(碰撞) happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night for an all-clear. Thus, green became “go”, and for a long time, railwa
27、ys used only green and red to signal trains.From the earliest days of motoring up until the mid1900s,not all stop signs were redmany were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area. In 1915 the yellow stop-sign craze began in Detroit, a city that f
28、ive years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first yellow traffic light.But what of those mysterious yellow stop signs? As materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spo
29、t in the sign hierarchy, leaving the still-highly-visible yellow to the domain (领域) of “caution”. Thats why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today.32What were traffic lights originally intended for?A. Trains.B. Cars.C. Planes.D. Ships.33Whats the main reaso
30、n for reds long being used to mean “stop”?A. It can be seen even in dark areas.B. It represents danger in many cultures.C. It has the longest wavelength.D. People prefer red to other colors.34Which of the following may the author agree with?A. The meaning of red is culture-specific.B. Yellow functio
31、ned as stop signs in the 1900s.C. Greens wavelength is just second to that of red.D. Greens role in lights has changed over time.35What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The significance of road traffic signs.B. The history of railroad transportation.C. The symbolic meaning of different colors.D
32、. The origin and development of traffic lights.第二节 七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences, _36_.Trust is a risk.
