The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper

3、published the first full-color comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly.

4、es or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Pe

5、rhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way.

9、the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9. Its creators hope the plane will make the first aroundtheworld journey without any fuel. The plane is called Solar Impulse 2.

10、 The planes wings stretch 72 meters across. Those wings include 17,000 solar units or cells that catch the suns energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and night. Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first nonestop flight around the world in

11、a balloon, while Borschberg is an engineer and has trained fighter pilots. The scientists say they are not trying to change the airplane industry. Instead, they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can achieve what some say is impossible. “We want to show that we can fly day and nig

12、ht in an aircraft without a drop of fuel,” Mr. Piccard said. Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the tiny plane for five to six days and nights in a row.

13、stops in Oman, India, and China（the first stop in Chongqing, and then in Nanjing）. They will cross the Pacific Ocean, stop in the United States, and continue over southern Europe or North Africa.

17、And，surprisingly，it is not the youngest kids who are hurt themostin the long term.Bullying can have long-lasting effects，but particularly when it begins in adolescence，the researchers say. People subjected to either verbal (口头的）or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depre

18、ssion，anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get over it， but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive or are more likely to turn to d

19、rink as a means of coping. These are the conclusions of psychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin，US.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1，500 college students regarding their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescencebefore high s

20、chooland in late adolescenceat high school. They assessed mood and mental state，judging by signs of anxiety or depression，such as sleeplessness. Thegroupwas also questioned about how they would react to certain embarrassing situations，such as humiliation.People who were bullied all revealed slightly

21、 higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (挑畔)，people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescen

22、ce，with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations.The best solution in all cases was strong socialsupport，whether from friends，family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered themost.So

23、 perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on，suggests Newman. “They may get stressed，but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on. ”28. What determines the degree of bullyings effect on people according to the study?A. The r

24、eason why they are bullied.B. The place where they are first bullied.C. The age at which they are first bullied.D. The person who first bullies them.29.

Its possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh. “We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotion

28、al style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the studys lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were int

29、eresting, but they didnt prove that a persons attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a persons underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high sel

30、f-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds. To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone

31、every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had report

32、ed over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses.
