He compared t
30、he behavior of 15 regular gamblers (赌徒) with those of 15 non-regular gamblers before and after they gambled. Both groups had increased heart rates during gambling because it was exciting. But the regular gamblers heart rates went down almost straight after the game, while the non-regulars remained e
31、xcited and had in- creased heart rates for longer.When the heart beat increases, the body produces one chemical called endorphins which make you feel good. Dr. Griffiths thinks that regular gamblers lose this good feeling soon after a game and need to play again quickly to regain the pleasure.He has
32、 also discovered that regular gamblers have different psychological reactions (心理反应) from non-regular gamblers. In an experiment where regular and non-regular gamblers spoke their thoughts aloud while playing, regular gamblers had far more unreasonable thoughts. In their minds they turned losses int
33、o near wins. Dr. Griffiths thinks that nearly winning gives the gambler a high in the same way that a win would do.Based on Dr. Griffiths s research, doctors suggest that one way to help regular gamblers to give up gambling is to give them -blockers-drugs ( 受体阻滞药) that stop them getting a high in th

37、eir bodies have no reaction to beta blockers.D They have faster heart rates during the game.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.CMovies are the most popular form of entertainment (娱乐) for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than
38、their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to
39、them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic and beautiful than in real life.The biggest “dream factories“ are in Hollywood, the capital of
40、the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often cant. People have t
41、o cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the “good guys“ win in the movies.（分数：3.00）(1).The Americans go to the movies mainly because they want_.A to enjoy a good story B to experience an exciting lifeC to see the actors and actresses D to escape

43、 by the life stories of the actors and actresses.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).It is obvious that real life is_.A less romantic than that in the moviesB more romantic than that in the moviesC as romantic as that in the moviesD no less romantic than that in the movies（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.DThey first arrived on Br
44、itish ships almost 200 years ago, with the aim of cutting back a rapid growth of rat (鼠) population. Then the cats themselves became the problem. After dealing with the rats, they turned to birdsand now hundreds of them have been killed in a move to protect rare (稀有) birds. Even cat lovers have been
45、 persuaded to back the move, after being told that there was no other choice. When British sailors took control of Ascension Island in 1815, they found nobody living on it but that it was overrun with rats which had escaped from sinking ships. They introduced cats to kill the ratsand were soon overr
46、un by cats. By 1820 they were sending back to England for dogs to kill the cats, but that didnt work. Ever since, the wild cat population has been attacking the birds. Man introduced these cats, and it has disturbed the balance. Ascension Island is a most important seabird gathering place. We have t
47、o undo mans mistake in bringing cats here. Action has been taken to kill off wild cats for the protection of birds. Only cats raised as pets are allowed. Since they are micro-chipped (加电子芯片的), if they get caught they can be sent back to their owner. The action can be considered rather successful. The cat population is down to the last fewtheyre the most difficult ones to catch.（分数：4.00）(1).The best title for the text would be_.
