Advertising on buses, a form quickly accepted by Beijing residents, adds a new 9 line to the city, instead of damaging the capital“s image.

16、bies are as much as 85% water. Women are about 65% water and men about 75%. Women usually have less water than men because women, in general, have more fat cells, and fat cells hold less water than other kinds of cells. Water is necessary for cooling the body under hot weather and when we are workin
17、g hard or exercising, water carries body heat to the surface of the skin, where the heat is lost through perspiration (出汗). Researchers note that fat cells block body heat from escaping quickly. Fat cells under the skin act like warm clothing to keep body heat inside. This is why overweight people h
18、ave a more difficult time staying cool than thin people. Researchers also note that cool liquids cool us faster than warm liquids, because cold liquids take up more heat inside the body and carry it away faster. They say, however, that cold sweet drinks do not work well because the sugar slows the l
19、iquid from getting into the blood stream. The body loses water every day through perspiration and urine (尿). If we lose too much, we will become sick. To replace what is lost, health experts say grown persons should drink about 2 liters of liquids each day, and more in hot weather. They say we can a

25、llege education.

In the sense that a degree is increasingly required fo
26、r even middle-level jobs, your investment in a college education will still pay off. It can pay off in other ways too.

28、ish college, you will sit through 30 to 45 different courses. Even the least dedicated student is bound to learn something from these courses. In addition, students learn informally.

29、 people than you“re likely to have experienced before. This diversity will challenge your mind and broaden your horizons.

It is bett
36、er to prevent violence than to try to stop it. Dentists tell you to brush your teeth to prevent cavities so they won“t have to fill the cavity later. People and lawmakers all over the world realize this. The next question is, “How do you prevent violence from happening?“ To answer this question, you
37、 may ask yourself, “What causes violence?“ Guns are definitely something used in acts of violence, but just about anything will do. Bare hands are often the weapons. What we have to do is to work together as a community and make violence wrong but not to tolerate. We“ve got to find a better solution
38、 than jails, and we“ve got to do it now. It“s not something that can wait.

People
39、need to be cool. Violence needs to be labeled as foolish. It cannot be machismo (大男子气概) and toughness. We can reach people in all kinds of ways. Little reminders that “Violence is wrong“ can show up in any way, shape or form: chain letters, a million dollars to anyone who can make a video showing 30

45、n a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we thin
46、k something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person“s thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and w
47、rite. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion. Psychologists think that there are two types of emotions: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope. They are aroused by something that app
48、eals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy. Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a per
49、son will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.（分数：15.00）(1).We lea
