municate and connect.
"Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.
"The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them," she said. "The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we bee humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that."
Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.
39. What does the new study suggest, aording to the first two paragraphs?
A. Yawning is a form of munication.
B. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.
C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.
D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.

40. Aording to Molly Helt, _________.
A. humans differ from animals because they municate with others
B. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
C. emotions are infectious, but yawning is not
D. yawning helps clear ears on planes
41. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?
A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.
B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others.
C. Yawning can be used to test children’s development.
D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.
42. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.
A. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory
B. it is bad manners to yawn on some social oasions
C. the more you yawn, the happier you will be
D. yawning can make people feel relaxed

Space is where our future is ― trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that aside from ets(彗星) and stars, there is little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash there that scientists are now concerned that if we don't clean it up, we may all be in mortal （致命的）danger.
The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly fortable abandoning things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.
It is estimated that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk.
The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft. Moreover, pieces of junk may collide with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.
43. What was the first piece of man-made space trash?
A. A camera. B. A tool kit.
C. A fuel tank. D. A broken satellite.
44. Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning?
A. It no longer served any useful purpose.
B. It was millions of miles away from the Earth.
C. It did not cause any problems.
D. It was regarded as similar to ets and stars.
45. Which of the following statements is true about space junk?
A. It is huge, heavy machines.
B. It never changes position.
C. It floats slowly around the Earth.
D. It may cause problems for space shuttles.
46. What has been done about the space trash problem?
A. Scientists have cleaned up most of the trash.
B. Large pieces of space trash are being closely watched.
C. Many nations have worked together to stop polluting space.
D. Ground stations are built to help store the trash properly in space.

About 400 high school students from Western Pennsylvania and the neighboring state of Ohio joined a heated discussion recently on "China: What Does the Future Hold?"
"It's either going to turn out really good or really bad - who knows?" said Braveen Ragunathan, a senior from an Ohio high school. In his mind all Americans are connected to China in some way.
The forum (论坛) was held in Pittsburgh, once a US industrial center, now facing job-cuts because of petition brought about by globalization. The aim of the forum is to help American students learn more about the outside world.
Elliott Blackwell, a junior at the Neighborhood Academy, said the forum let him know more about how China's economic development will affect America in the future.
Some students, although impressed by China's economic boom, expressed uneasiness about the nation's practices and differences from the American way of doing business and politics.
"China is a power ing up, so they might challenge us," Paul Amon, a junior from Oil City High School, said. "I'd hope that China can be our partner but I think that we'd clash (冲突) along the way because we're too different," he added.
Gee Riley, a teacher explained: "The view of China is usually negative (否定的) and I think that's fueled by the media."
However, some negative feelings are not from the media. Merri Ebel is a senior at East Allegheny High School north of Pittsburgh. Both her parents lost their jobs recently. The pany they worked for said it was cheaper to produce goods in China rather than the US.
"China is just this big question mark. China was just a big country with millions of people that no one really knew about because it was so far away and our class was more American history based," she said.
For better or worse US teenagers are eager to know more about China, the forum shows.
47. From the passage we know that most US teenagers ______.
A. know only a little about China
B. know much about China
C. know nothing about China
D. like China very much
48. Many US students expressed their uneasiness about China because______.
A. China and the US are too different
B. China and the US are close partners
C. China and the US are enemies
D. they know China very well
49. The main reason that China in their eyes is usually negative is probably that ______.
A. their teachers affect them
B. their classmates affect them
C. newspapers and online news affect them
D. the forum affects them
50. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Teenagers in the USA B. Job-cuts in Pittsburgh
C. Cheaper goods in China D. China in their eyes

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family ― both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in ing of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed suess in his poetical drama.
pared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. ______________, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:
Earth, receive an honored guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry.

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about whether our parents should aompany us studying at school.
In recent years, more and more parents rent a house near the school to aompany their children, which has aroused a widespread concern in China.
There are some reasons why so many parents choose to aompany their children. First of all, most children are the only children of the family, whose parents love them so dearly that they would like to offer a better living condition to them. Second, most parents consider it necessary to rent a house nearby in order to take good care of their children so that they can keep track of their children’s academic performance while their children are studying in school.
Personally, our parents should not aompany us studying at school since it make us fall into the habit of dependence, so that we won’t form the good habit of studying. At the same time, it affects our parents’work, studies and rest. Therefore, it is OK for children to live in the school dormitory because it is necessary for them to form the habit of living independently.
