42、Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water

43、 bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly. The next

44、 day, after wed had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyonby air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world. We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared

45、as the pilot tossed(翻转) the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, STOP, TAKE US BACK! When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back. As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried th

46、e mules, but personally Id suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.59.

49、e needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accidentD Why is it that many people who have suffered a major shock, such as divorce or death of a family member, seem to be weaker again

50、st a variety of major and minor illness? One common idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Indeed, many experts stress the value of expressing thoughts and feelings connected with upsetting events. Recen

51、tly, a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and long-term health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afte

52、rwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics. In an experiment that followed, another group of healthy students were given the four-day writing exercis

53、es. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences (including loneliness, problems with family and friends, and health). When questioned immediately afterwards, they said that they did not feel any better. However, their blood samples(样本) taken before and after the experiment sh

54、owed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensitivity to these invaders. This trend continued over the following six weeks, when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were

55、 those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about. The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. It follows, then, that actively dealing with a major shock makes p

56、ossible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems, but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run. 63. In the first experiment, the students who wrote about painful events _. A. s

57、tarted to suffer psychological problems B. enjoyed sharing their inner thought and feelings C. were less likely to seek treatment for sicknessD. couldnt deal with suffering effectively64.

Bacteria and viruses. C. Resistance to illness. D. The reaction and sensitivity of the cells.66. What i

Mental Illness and Social AcceptanceE There is no need to head to the movie theater or download the video game app: Angry Birds can be found right in your backyard this summerif you live

60、in the suburb(市郊). Virginia Tech researchers recently find that birds that live in suburban areas exhibit significantly higher levels of anger than those living in country. The results were recently published in Biology Letters. A possible reason for this is that these birds have less space but bett

61、er resources to defend, said Scott Davies, an expert at biological sciences in the College of Science. Living near humans provides better food and shelter, but it also means more competition for these limited resources. The Virginia Tech and Radford University campuses served as the suburban sites d

62、ue to their levels of human impact. Rural(乡村的) sites included Kentland Farm and Heritage Park. In these settings, the researchers played a recording of a male song sparrow(歌雀) and observed how the birds responded to a simulated(仿造的) intrusion from a neighbor. Campus birds showed a higher level of ag

63、gression: they approached and remained near the speaker, beat their wings wildly, engaged in loud singing and then began to produce soft songa term that researchers use to describe the quiet noise that a bird makes, which indicates an attack is to be launched soon. Though rural birds still responded

64、 to a song intrusion, they did not respond as vigorously. The researchers placed small leg bands on the birds to identify individuals, and recorded each individuals responses twice, several weeks apart. The suburban birds reacted more fiercely on both occasions, showing that their increased aggressi

65、on persists throughout a breeding season. 67. The study by Virginia Tech researchers suggests that _. A. there are more angry birds in suburban areas than in rural areas B. angry birds prefer to live in suburban areas instead of in country C. birds living in suburban areas tend to show a higher leve
