22、Too much stress can make it more likely for a person to get sick, and so scientists are trying to think of ways to keep people from being overly stressed. In this experiment, scientists studied the effect of music on stress.

Scientists asked women to either listen to relaxing music, nature sounds, or to nothing. Following the music session, they had the women stand in front of an audience and perform two tasks. First, each woman had to give a speech. Second, each woman had to do complex math in her head. These two tasks make up the Trier Social Stress Task, a method scientists use as a sure-fire way to make people feel stressed.

Scientists know that the body responds to stress by releasing cortisol (皮质醇), and so they used it to measure stress. Scientists compared cortisol levels after listening to music and at various times after doing the Trier Social Stress Task. The scientists also measured an enzyme (酶) called alpha-amylase. Alpha-amylase is important to your body as it kills unwanted bacteria and it helps break down the food that you eat. Alpha-amylase is also released by the nervous system in response to stress.

The scientists tested how classical music and nature sounds affect levels of cortisol and alpha-amylase. The alpha-amylase levels of people who listened to classical music went back to normal more quickly compared to the people listening to nature sounds.

The people listening to relaxing music showed a stress response that was shorter compared to the other groups. The shorter response helps to prevent the body from getting worn out. This means that listening to relaxing music might help to improve the stress response and health.

The results of this study were a bit mixed. Scientists still have a lot of work to do to see if listening to music can reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels in the body. Until we know more, maybe play some tunes or listen to some nature sounds when you feel stressed. Even if it doesn't directly help your stress level, it's still nice to hear a good song.

【1】Why were the participants asked to do make speeches and do math?

A．To attract more audience.

B．To let them create music.

C．To explore their brains.

D．To get them stressed.

【2】What did the scientists do to the participants?

A．They broke down the food they ate.

B．They measured their cortisol levels.

C．They helped them kill body bacteria.

D．They calmed them down with music.

【3】What is a finding of the study?

A．Classical music helps to prohibit alpha-amylase.

B．Nature sounds prevent the body getting worn out.

C．Relaxing music helps the body clam down faster.

D．Listening to nature sounds gets cortisol levels higher.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Does Listening to Music Reduce Stress?

B．What Should We Do to Become Relaxed?

C．Can Classical Music Beat Nature Sounds?

D．Why Can Music Influence People's Health?

23、Here are some tips on how to keep you，your belongings and your money safe during traveling. After all，it'd be a shame to spend all that time finding the best price for your trip，only to lose your cash and credit cards to a thief.

Don't let others know that you are new here.

You're a tourist. You know that，but you don't want anybody else to know that. Don't unfold your big map on a busy corner. Don't ask strangers on the street for directions. Learn your route ahead of time，and step into a business for directions whenever possible. Avoid flashing your Lonely Planet guidebook around，or publicly referring to your language dictionary when traveling abroad.

Keep your friends close and your money closer.

A lone traveler equals easy pickings for a seasoned criminal. If you are traveling alone，try to hide that fact. Stick with groups whenever possible and keep information sharing with chatty cab drivers and the like to a minimum.

Another thing you don't want to advertise：where you keep your money. A fanny pack(腰包) may be convenient，but it means “I'm not from around here！” If you have a purse，keep it close to your body，preferably under an item of clothing like a jacket or a sweater so that thieves can't steal it. Be sure that your wallet is in a securely fastened pocket. Or go like 007 with a hidden money belt. How cool is that?

Be careful，even in your hotel room.

Never blindly answer a knock at your door. If the knocker identifies himself as a hotel employee，call the front desk to confirm. Always make sure your hotel door completely closes when entering or exiting.

Don't leave your valuables lying around when you leave for the day. That hotel safe is there for a reason!

【1】Why shouldn't tourists wear a fanny pack?

A．Because it shows that you are not a person around here.

B．Because it is not convenient.

C．Because it can't be hidden under your jacket.

D．Because it can't hide money.

【2】Why does the author mention 007's money belt?

A．To persuade readers to learn from 007.

B．To persuade readers to buy the belt worn by 007.

C．To persuade tourists to hide money in their belt.

D．To persuade tourists not to show others where you keep your money.

【3】Who is this passage written for?

A．Locals.  B．Tourists.  C．Hotel owners.  D．Thieves.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. When traveling abroad, you shouldn't open your language dictionary in public areas.

B. Try your best to travel alone.

C. If you hear a knock at your hotel door，go to open it.

D. You can leave your money at the hotel when traveling.

24、Humans have launched themselves into the outer space. They've landed on the moon. They've built habitable space stations that orbit the Earth. The next giant leap for mankind is to reach another planet–specifically, Mars.

The problem is that it's no easy task. The planet is 586 times further away from the Earth than the moon, and it'll take around 180 to 220 days to reach Mars, depending on where each planet is in its orbit. Such long periods in space have suggested many potential health problems, including hormonal changes, skin conditions, and muscle and bone deterioration (损耗).

Here's where some furry friends come in. A wide range of animals have been in space, from fruit flies and spiders to cats, and dogs. Such experiments began as far back as the late 1940s in first tests to see if living things could withstand the extreme g-force (重力) of a rocket launch.

Mice continue to play a very important part in space experiments, mainly because the animals make excellent test subjects. They're small, which makes them inexpensive and easy to care for. In addition, their size and short life span make it possible to do the equivalent of several human years of tests in a much shorter time. Finally, because mice are mammals, they share many common characteristics with humans in terms of genetics, biology and behavior.

Astromice have hit the headlines recently, as a team of scientists led by Betty Nusgens, professor of biology at the University of Liege in Belgium, found that the mice suffered a 15 percent thinning of their skin after 91 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

This experiment was part of a wider NASA mission (任务) called the Mice Drawer System (MDS). The Italian Space Agency developed the facility, which allows six mice to be housed, monitored, and automatically fed and watered aboard the ISS, among which three survived during the mission.

The mice have participated in 20 separate experiments, to study such effects as osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), anemia (贫血) and heart health.

Results for the 20 experiments are coming in gradually. But it's clear that mice continue to play an important role in the ongoing quest to conquer the final frontier.

【1】We can infer from Paragraphs 2-3 that ______.

A. Mars is the farthest planet away from Earth discovered so far

B. animals that have been sent into space have mostly survived

C. it was in the late 1940s that animals were first sent to the ISS

B. report on the results of the Mice Drawer System

C. analyze how mice could pave the way to Mars
