17、ersonBOne hot August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to stin
18、g in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they dont bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest againto see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside.
19、Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forwa
20、rd toward his face. An immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didnt know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the ne
21、xt to set off a deadly explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio microphone, trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words
22、 were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Departments north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was alm
23、ost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克) . Just then he reached for the radio microphone again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting.Emergency. There in ten minutes.” “Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen th
24、ought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.24. According to the passage, wasps are more likely to attack when .A. there are huge noisesB. strangers are approac
25、hingC. the hottest season comes aroundD. the air is filled with food smell25.

26、d because .A. no one was on dutyB. he was in a state of shockC. his radio equipment was brokenD. he was unable to speak clearly27. Which would be the best title for the passage？A. Wasps, Bloody Killers B. War Against WaspsC. Allen, A Helpless Driver D. A Race Against DeathCAlthough biological mechan
27、isms ( 机 制 ) do not work with the accuracy or stability of modern clocks, a sense of time and its rhythm is built into the functioning of the human body. Our heart, with its beating pulse, is the clock-like internal rhythm of which we are most aware.There are, however, other biological timekeepers t
28、hat play important roles in our lives. These inner clocks are generally very regular, but they can also be “reset” and will fall in step with a different rhythm. Even after we take a long flight across the Atlantic or Pacific, our lack of synchronization (同步) with the local time slowly disappears.Th
29、ough known to biologists for over 200 years, biological clocks are the subject of a lot ofresearch nowadays. The question is to what extent this human body rhythm is an autonomous mechanism rather than a simple response to external signals, such as changes in the level of light, the times of meals,
30、or social interactions with our surroundings. It has not been easy to find the answer, but careful laboratory experiments have led to the conclusion that our body contains an autonomous timekeeper. Individuals who volunteered to be kept in artificial isolation with no time clues also helped to find
31、the answer. In 2015, a French researcher spent two months in a cold cave, 375 feet underground in the Alps. The Frenchman called his above-ground supporters by telephone whenever he ate, went to sleep, and woke, and he recorded in detail his thoughts and impressions of the passage of time. He found
32、himself affected by definite internal time signals. His subjective impression of the time of the day and his periods of sleep and waking, was slightly longer than 25 hours. When he came out of the cave, his internal timer was many hours out of phase with the external 24-hour clock.28. The example of

35、outsideB. restrict his access to food and waterC. improve his ability to sleep soundlyD. limit his communication with other humans31. The tone of the passage is best described as .A. playful B. objective C. concerned D. argumentativeDYou feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving
36、 and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then its likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a hea
37、lthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values
38、that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values, you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering bei
39、ng these character traits becomes your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by
40、 taking steps to create these feelingsand conditions in your life.When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm per
41、son. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate ( 沉 思 ), or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to bethis is the key to personal power.When you choo
42、se to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce(加强) your chosen beliefs.
