Children know
10、this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination. Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly l
11、oved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led. The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go as Superman,“ he whispered to his mom. Hearing thi
12、s, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume, but finally she agreed. The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his
13、 fantasy, successfully made it through the operation. The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we cou
14、ld. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it,“ If you can dream it, you can do it. “ It doesnt mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But,next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win

In 1969 he suspected that he was going to be imprisoned or killed because one of his plays was regarded as being an attack on leaders of Bulgaria. Markov man
19、aged to reach England and got a job with the BBC, writing something in Bulgaria. Some of the BBC programmes were critical of life in Bulgaria. Perhaps as a result of this, Markov received an anonymous telephone call warning him that he would be killed. In September 1978, Markov stopped his car in Lo
20、ndon and started to walk to his office. When he was passing a bus line, a man in the line seemed to drop his umbrella accidently. Markov felt a sudden pain in the leg. When Markov reached his office, he spoke about the matter to a friend. A few hours later, he began to feel hot. He was sent to hospi
21、tal and died four days later. The doctors examined his body, and they were puzzled about the cause of his death. Scientists were asked to help and they found a tiny metal pellet in Markovs leg. The scientists believed that the two holes in it must contain an unknown poison in them. A few weeks befor
22、e Markov was “shot“ with a poisoned pellet fired from an umbrella, another Bulgarian had the same experience in France. Towards the end of August 1978, Kostov felt a sharp pain in the back when he was leaving a railway station in Paris. He was ill for a few days but became well. When news of Markovs
23、 death became known, Kostov was asked to return to hospital for examination. Doctors found a tiny pellet in his back, but it had stuck in an area from which the poison had not been able to spread. The police in both countries are still searching for the reasons why both men were attacked. They hoped

Normally the answer to this question would be anyone around you who you fi
27、nd truly inspiring. It could also be someone like J. K. Rowling or Martin Luther King Jr. who has proven to be strong and intelligent person. However, in todays world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate
28、their actions for two major reasons. First, to be fashionable and accepted by popular culture, and second, because stars actions are so well documented by the media that it seems to grab our attention. Much of the reports about stars is shocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that arent right
29、 for teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level. However, teens must take responsibility for their actions. We cant always blame stars for influencing us. Only you have control over yourself and only you choose
30、 to do something. Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else. Now, who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight . With reporters following and recording every move they make, it is impossible not to be w
31、atched and then be imitated. These people influence teens whether or not they want to. Why should someone who doesnt want to be setting an example set one? So, should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? Its our responsibility as teens to know right from wrong, and its
32、time for us to take responsibility for our actions. In doing so, we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them.（分数：10.00）(1).The teens like to imitates stars in order to_.（分数：2.00）A.know more about stars storiesB.be accepted
33、by societyC.be reported by the mediaD.become more fashionable(2).According to the author, the role the media play in setting examples to teenagers is（分数：2.00）A.reasonableB.inspiringC.positiveD.negative(3).The author writes the passage-mainly to advise the teenagers to（分数：2.00）A.keep a balance betwee

36、ng people as their role modelsD.stars set good examples immediately they become famousFinally, there is some good news for older dads. A new study shows that their children and even grandchildren may get a health benefit because of their older age. Its based on research into something called telomer
37、es(端粒)tips on the ends of chromosomes (染色体). Some previous studies have connected having longer telomeres with better health and longer lives. Telomeres havent been proven to cause those benefits in the general population, but a number of researchers think they may hold secrets for things like longe
38、vity and cancer. As you age, telomeres shorten. However, previous studies have shown that the older a man is when he becomes a father, the longer the telomeres his children tend to have. The new research confirms that and finds its extended to the grandchildren. Thats a cheerier result for older dad
39、s than some other studies in recent years that indicate their kids are at higher risk for things like autism (自闭症). Carol Greider of Johns Hopkins University, who shared a Nobel Prize in 2009 for telomere research but didnt participate in the new study, said its no surprise that the telomere effect
40、would extend beyond children to grandchildren. She also said that since older fathers also tend to pass more potentially harmful genetic mutations (突变). its “not at all clear“ whether advanced paternal(父亲 )age gives an overall health benefit to children. In a statement, the researchers who conducted
41、 the study said their study shouldnt be taken as a recommendation that men reproduce at older ages because theres a risk of genetic mutations. Some previous studies of the impact of older fatherhood have been less encouraging. In 2010, for example, at least two big studies confirmed a link to having
42、 children with autism. In 2008, a big Swedish study strengthened evidence linking bipolar disorder(狂躁症)to older paternal ages.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements about telomeres is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.They are the tips on the ends of chromosomes.B.The older a man gets, the shorter they b
43、ecome.C.Some researchers have connected them to longevity and cancer.D.They have been proven to cause better health in the general population.(2).According to the latest study, we know that the older dads are likely to_.（分数：2.00）A.have children with autismB.be cheerier than younger dadsC.have childr
44、en with shorter telomeresD.have grandchildren with longer telomeres(3).Why dont the researchers recommend that men reproduce at older ages?（分数：2.00）A.Because they are more likely to develop bipolar disorder.B.Because they are more likely to become ill all of a sudden.C.Because they may pass more pot
45、entially harmful genetic mutations to their kids.D.Because advanced paternal age definitely gives overall poor health to children.(4).When older fathers read the previous reports mentioned in the last paragraph, they were most probably_.（分数：2.00）A.cheerfulB.discouragedC.angryD.moved(5).What is the m
46、ain idea of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Older parents are greatly encouraged by some good news.B.Dads can have a great influence on their childrens development.C.Older dads no longer need to worry about their childrens health.D.Older dads might benefit the health of their children and grandchildren.三、Cl
