At the age of 14，James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units（3.4 gallons） of blood afterwards.The blood donations（捐赠） saved his life,and he decided that once he turned 18，he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1，200 donations later,Harrison,whose blood contains an antibody （抗体） that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages（流产），retired as a blood donor on May 11.Harrison's blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood,which contains Rh-positive antibodies.His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
"Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it," Robyn Barlow,the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. "It's an amazing thing.He has saved millions of babies.I cry just thinking about it." Since then,Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week.He's made 1，162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
"I'd keep going if they let me," Harrison told the Herald.His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don't take them lightly.They had already enlarged the age limit for blood donations for him,and they're cutting him off now to protect his health.He made his final donation,with some of the mothers and babies standing around who his blood helped save.
Harrison's retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia.Only 160 donors support the program,and finding new donors has proven to be difficult.But Harrison's retirement from giving blood doesn't mean he's completely out of the game.Scientists are collecting and cataloging（列入目录）his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
(1) What do we know about James Harrison？______
A. He saved 2.4 million poor people. B. He is to retire as a blood donor.
C. He is a very grateful blood donor. D. He donates blood nearly every day.
(2) What is the author's purpose of writing Paragraph 4？______
A. To state Harrison's decision to continue donating blood.
B. To describe how Harrison's donations come to an end.
C. To introduce some babies saved by Harrison's blood.
D. To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.
(3) What can we infer from the passage about Harrison？______
A. After his retirement,the Rh program will fail.
B. New donors are easy to find in a short time.
C. He continues to contribute to the Rh program.
D. His DNA is kept in a library for future study.
(4) Which of the following can be the best title for the text？______
A. A Special Man with a Rare Blood Type
B. The Blood Saving Millions of Babies
C. A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire
D. The Man with the Golden Arms

A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower.Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind：How can willpower be strengthened？If willpower is truly a limited resource,as the research suggests,what can be done to make it stay strong？
Avoiding temptation （诱惑） is an effective method for maintaining self-control,which is called the "out of sight,out of mind" principle.One recent study,for instance,found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks,in plain sight.
The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question.When we face too many temptations,are we to fail？Not necessarily.Researchers don't believe that one's willpower is ever completely exhausted.Rather,people appear to hold some willpower in reserve,saved for future demands.The right motivation allows us to those reserves,allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down.High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.
Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place.Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use.But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison,they say.While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term,they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term.Similarly,regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.
The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year's Eve is the worst possible approach.Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas,so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time.In other words,don't try to quit smoking,adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time.Taking goals one by one is a better approach.Once a good habit is in place,Baumeister says,you'll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior.Eventually healthy habits will become routine,and won't require making decisions at all.
(1) From the studies in the passage we learn that ______ .
A. people have unlimited self-control
B. high motivation ensures one's success
C. willpower is hardly completely exhausted
D. too many temptations often lead to failure
(2) The underlined phrase "tap into" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______ .
A. make use of B. run out of C. build D. increase
(3) The author compares self -control to muscles ______ .
A. to prove the long-term effect of willpower
B. to show the significance of regular exercise
C. to argue that self-control can he easily used up
D. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control
(4) To develop a good habit,which of the following does the author prefer？______
A. "I will give up dessert and do exercise."
B. "I will set three goals this new semester."
C. "I will read an English novel every month."
D. "I will keep myself from any temptation."

Thereare two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
Peoplewho are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Althoughin fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
(1) The underlined phrase "sour the pleasure of society" in Para.2 most nearly means ______.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
(2) We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
D. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
(3) If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ______.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
(4) In this passage, the writer mainly ______.
A. describes two types of people
B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help unhappy people
D. tells people how to be happy in life

Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World The world is designed for right-handed people，but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left？(1)
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery．Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families，it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic（基因的） component to it． (2) fact，identical twins，who share the same genes，can sometimes prefer to use different hands．There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with，but many experts believe that it's kind of random．
Historically，the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures． (3) In some areas，the left hand became known as the"unclean"hand．In many religions，the right hand of God is the favored hand．For example，Jesus sits at God's right side．God's left hand，however，is the hand of judgement．Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved．In some parts of Scotland，it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey． (4) A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary．In some Asian countries，eating with the left hand is considered impolite．
(5) People come to realize that left-handedness is natural．People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed，including Benjamin Franklin，Leonardo Da Vinci，and Charlie Chaplin．Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better．The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well．Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now；instead，it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in．
A．In other words，left-handers are born that way．
B．Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability．
C．The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied．
D．Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities？
E．Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing？
F．In Ghana，pointing，gesturing，giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude．
G．Fortunately，nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before．
