As an activist I havebeen doing what Nelson Mandela tells me since I was a teenager. Over the years we became friends. I, like everyone else, admired him for hisoutstandingleadership. His cabinet appointments of Trevor Manuel and Kadar Asmal were brave. His partnership with Sowetan neighbor Desmond Tutu brought me untold joy. This double acttook the success of the anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) fight in South Africa and widened the scope to include the battle against AIDS and the broader reach for dignity by the poorest peoples on the planet.

Mandela never doubted that his continent would gain a victory in the 21st century: “We are not just the peoples with the oldest history,” he told me. “We have the brightest future.” He knew Africa was rich with oil, gas, minera ls, land and, above all, people. But he also knew that because of their “colonial past, Africans still don’t quite believe these precious things belong to them.”

He could charm the birds off the trees—and cash right out of wallets. He told me once how Margaret Thatcher had personally donated ￡20,000 to his foundation. “How did you do that?” I asked. The Iron Lady often kept a tight grip on her purse. “I asked,” he said with a laugh. “You’ll never get what you want if you don’t ask.” Then hesaid her donatio n had disgusted some of his people. “Didn’t she try to hold back our movement?” they complained.

Laughter, not tears, was Mandela’s preferred way—except on one occasion when I saw him almost choke up. It was on Robben Island, in the courtyard outside the cell in which he had spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. He was explaining why he’d decided to use his cellmate’s number, 46664, to bring a response to the AIDSclaiming so many African lives. One of his cellmates told me thathis tear-duct (泪腺) had left him unable to cry. Despite this man’svision, he could not produce tears in a moment of self-doubt or grief.He had surgery in 1994 to put this right. Now, he could cry.Today, we can.

58. The author owes Mandela’s achievements to _____.

A. his wise leadership

B. the anti-apartheidfight

C. his brave appointments

D. his complete trust in his people

59. Why did Africans doubt about their ownership of the precious things mentioned

in Paragraph 2?

A. Those things were in fact in the control of colonial powers.

B. They were influenced by the painful history.

C. They had grown accustomed to the situation at that time.

D. The mean donation just showed unfriendliness.

60. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author _____.

A. feels sad about Mandela’s death

B. has forgiven Mandela for his imperfection

C. expresses thanks to Mandela’s cellmate for his number

D. reveals that Mandela was an ordinary person sometimes

C

Oxytocinisknown as the “hug hormone (荷尔蒙)”. People experience oxytocin in many social relationships, including bonding with children or partners. What is surprising is that people would also experience a change in this hormone when bonding with a completely different species.

Miho Nagasawa of Azabu University in Japan and colleagues conducted a study with 55 dogs and their owners. People whose dogs gazed at them for two minutes or longershowed a higher increase in oxytocin than people whose dogs gazed at them for less time. People with dogs with a long gaze also reported being happier with their dogs than those people whose dog’s gaze was only around one minute long.

In another study by Linda Handlin and colleagues from the University of Sk?vde in Sweden, owners who kissed their dogs the most frequently had higher levels of oxytocin than other owners.Handlin found that along with kissing, there were two other factors that predicted the higher levels of oxytocin. The first was that the owners were more likely to consider their relationship with their dogsto be pleasurable. The second was a lower frequency in giving treats, which shows that the path to true love is not necessarily through a dog’s stomach.

In a separate study by Johannes Odendaal and colleagues from the University of Pretoria in South Africa, owners were brought into a room that was empty except for two tables and chairs. The owners sat on a rug on the floor with their dogs and a nurse drew their blood. For the next 30 minutes, each owner’s attention was completely focused on his or her dog. They talked softly to their dogs, touched them gently and scratched their bodies and behind their ears. The participants’ blood was drawn again after 30 minutes.

The researchers found that participants’ blood pressure decreased, and they experienced an increase in not only oxytocin, but also a whole other range of

hormones, including the ones that promote bonding associated with parenting behavior.When each dog owner came in and read a book for 30 minutes, oxytocin and the other hormones did not increase as much as they did during interactionswith their dogs. What is even more amazing is that not only did humans experience a rise in these hormones — the dogs did, too.

Humanity’s relationship with dogs is so extraordinary that it affects humans’ very biochemistry. Scientistsare only beginning to understand themechanisms, and the implications will keep psychologists busy for many years to come.

61. We can infer from the passage that people with higher oxytocin levels are more _____.

A. sensitive

B. sensible

C. cheerful

D. loving

62. Accor ding to the passage, dog owners’ oxytocin levels can most probably be

raised when they’re _____.

A. glancing at their dogs

B. feeding their dogs regularly

C. keeping their dogs’ company

D. kissing their dogs frequently

63. The study by Johannes Odendaal and his colleagues proves that _____.

A. drawing the owners’ blood makes them focused on their dogs

B. the owners and the dogs share the influences of their interactions

C. the bond between two different species helps reduce blood pressure

D. dogs’ company increases the owners’ other hormones except oxytocin

64. The underlined word “mechanisms” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.

A. processes

B. applications

C. restrictions

D. explanations

D

Smart devices are sometimes empowering. They put a world of information at our fingertips. They free people to work from home instead of squeezing onto a train with smelly strangers. That is a huge benefit for parents seeking flexible working hours. Smartphones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted, such as while queuing for coffee. They can even help slackers create the false idea that they are working around the clock, by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1am.

But for most people the servant has become the master. Not long ago only doctors were on call all the time. Now everybody is. Bosses think nothing of invading their employees’ free time. Work invades the home far more than domestic work invade the office. People check their smartphones obsessively, even during pre-dinner drinks, and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

This is partly because smartphones are addictive: when Martin Lindstrom, a

branding master, tried to identify the ten sounds that affect people most powerfully, he found that a shaking phone came third, after the Intel ringing sound and a giggling(咯咯笑的) baby. BlackBerrys and iPhones provide stimuli(鼓励之物) mixed with rewards. Whenever you check the glowing rectangle, there is a fair chance you will see a message from a client, a mail from your boss or at least an e-mail from a Nigerian gentleman offering you $1m if you share your bank details with him. Smartphones are the best excuse yet created for procrastination(拖延). How many people can honestly say that they have never removed their e-mails to put off dealingwith more demanding tasks?

Smartphones make it easier for managers to change their minds at the last moment: for example, to e-mail an employee at 11pm to tell him he must fly to Pittsburgh tomorrow. The annoyed devices also make it easier for managers in one time zone to spoil the evenings of managers in another.

Employees find it ever harder to distinguish between “on-time” and “off-time” —and indeed between real work and make-work. Executives are burdened with two overlapping(重叠的) workdays: a formal one full of meetings and an informal one spent trying to keep up with the countless e-mails and messages.

None of this is good for businesspeople’s marria ges or mental health. It may be bad for business, too. When bosses change their minds at the last minute, it is hard to plan for the future. And several studies have shown what ought to be common sense: that people think more deeply if they are constantly concentrated.

What can be done to keep smartphones in their place? How can we reap the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves? One solution is digital dieting. Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits, so the abundance of junk information means they have to be more disciplined about their browsing habits. Banning browsing before breakfast can reintroduce a small amount of civilization. Banning texting at weekends or, say, on Thursdays, can really show the iPhone who is the boss.

The faster smartphones become and the more attractive the apps that are devised for them, the stronger the addiction will grow. Spouses (配偶) can help by throwing the annoyed devices out of a window or into a bucket of water. But in the end it is up to companies to outsmart the smartphones by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to time.

65. The slacker may be someone who _____.

A. has discovered something important

B. is lazy and does less work than he should

C. finds an answer to a difficult situation

D. spends a lot of time using smart devices

66. The fact that most people have become the servant of smart devices lies in all

the following EXCEPT that people _____.

A. are on call all the time

B. check their smartphones frequently

C. keep delaying something that must be done

D. take advantage of free time to carry out their work

67. The branding master Martin Lindstrom is mentioned in Paragraph 3 to _____.

A. show his research finding

B. promote BlackBerry and iPhone

C. prove smartphones affect people seriously

D. argue that checking emails is not necessary

68. According to Paragraph 5, make-work refers to the work that _____.

A. needs creative man to finish

B. makes people work together

C. is used to kill time by people

D. causes more disadvantages

69. How is the last but one paragraph mainly developed?

A. By giving examples.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By setting classifications.

D. By presenting findings.

70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A. B.

C. D.

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Teenager bedwetting can be caused by a number of factors, some of which may be related to serious health issues. Bedwetting that starts suddenly can be a sign of serious trauma（创伤）or minor problems, like allergies. An isolated incident may be related to substance abuse.

One of the major causes of teenager bedwetting is simple genetics. Some teenagers mature more slowly than others, some have underdeveloped bladders（膀胱）, and some have a family history of bedwetting. Given that these problems are usually present throughout childhood, it is likely that teenage bedwetting due to these causes will have a long history. Most people do eventually grow out of this type of bedwetting.

In some cases, teenage bedwetting can be caused by dietary changes. Increases in caffeine, dairy products, and other substances can cause a teenager to relapse（复发）into bedwetting. Isolating the problem can be difficult because the teenager may or may not be allergic to the substance.

Emotional troubles sometimes lead to bedwetting as well. Stress and trauma, in particular, can lead to uncontrolled bedwetting. In some cases, a teenager may be hiding the source of the severe trauma and may not be willing to give information when confronted. Cases like these are often handled by psychologist.

There are a number of causes of teenage bedwetting that relate to how urine（小便）is produced and the available space in which to store it. A teenager may for any number of reasons begin to produce excess urine. It is also possible that he or she has a small bladder that is not capable of handling the amount of urine produced at night. Having a small bladder does not necessarily imply that a person will wet the bed, so bladder size may not always provide a definitive answer. In combination with a sleep disorder, which may prevent the teenager from waking up when the bladder is full, these conditions can produce bedwetting.

It can be hard to diagnose（诊断）the cause of bedwetting in teens, but understanding why a teenager is wetting the bed can be helpful not only for health but for emotional security as well. Teenagers are often ashamed of wetting the bed, and this shame may interfere with their other activities. By diagnosing the cause even if there is no cure, a teenager who suffers from bedwetting may experience an improvement in overall quality of life.
