The human body is a machine that can raise lots of interesting questions.Why,for example,are yawns(呵欠)contagious(传染的)?What's up with ice﹣cream headaches? Here are answers to these and other questions about our bodies.

    Why do I get a headache when I eat ice cream too quickly?

    Scientists aren' t exactly sure what causes the brain freeze when we eat ice cream or other super﹣cold foods too quickly,though some believe it's the result of changed blood flow in the nervous stem.Blood vessels in the head tighten to stop the loss of body heat and then relax to let blood flow rise;that sudden rush of blood is what causes the headache.You can improve an ice﹣cream headache by rapidly rubbing your tongue across the roof of your mouth to help warm up things.

    What causes my stomach to make a low continuous noise when I'm hungry?

     Actually,your stomach makes noise whether you're hungry or full;you just hear it more clearly when you're hungry.Think of your digestive tract(消化道)as a really long tube lined with smooth muscle tissue. These muscles move food,fluids and gas through your digestive tract. A .It can make you feel embarrassed(尴尬的) but is nothing to worry about.

   Why do I blush when I'm embarrassed?

   When you're embarrassed,your brain releases a shot of adrenaline(肾上腺素),which makes your heart race and blood vessels become larger in size.All this happens to increase blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body in a fight﹣on﹣ flight reaction(对抗反应).There are a lot of tiny blood vessels in your face,which turn noticeably redder from this sudden rush of blood.As for the actual function of blushing,researchers are still trying to find that one out.

     Why are yawns contagious?

    Have you ever yawned in front of someone,only to have them yawn right back? It's a common thing but researchers don't have a good explanation for it.They do,however,know this happens only with humans and chimpanzees( 黑猩猩).A bigger question puzzling scientists is why we yawn at all It used to be thought that yawning showed that oxygen to the brain was not enough,but that's just a myth.A growing body of research now shows that yawning is nature's way of keeping our brains cool.

(1)What is the meaning of the underlined word tighten?  

A.变松

B.变紧

C.变短

D.变长

(2)Which of the following sentences can be filled in the blank?  

A.And that's what you're hearing when your stomach makes noise.

B And that's why you're so hungry when your stomach is empty.

C.And that's what makes you feel uncomfortable when you're full.

D.And that's how it makes a difference to your digestive tract.

(3)Which of the following statements is TRUE?  

A.There is no way for you to improve an ice﹣cream headache.

B.Researchers have found out the actual function of blushing.

C.Your stomach makes noise only when you are hungry.

D.Researchers don't have a good explanation for why yawns are contagious.

(4)What is the best title of the passage?  

A.Some Interesting Facts

B.Our Strange Body

C.Some Useful Discoveries

D.Our Amazing Feelings

The role of the disabled in society

    Hosting the Paralympic Games will help draw attention to the need for countries to do more to make sure equal chances for all people in society.(1)It is necessary to realize the great achievements which are made by disabled people.

    (2)残疾人在中国的生活已经改善了很多,and more achievements are expected to be seen as the country has been speeding up to realize the goal of achieving "equality,participation and sharing," as expressed in the 2019 White Paper on China's 70 years of progress in dealing with the needs of the disabled.

    (3)The Chinese government is trying to solve the needs of the disabled and provide them with new chances. For example,buildings,holds,public transport and other public places are becoming more wheelchair friendly.

    Modern media also play an important role in educating the public about the needs of the disabled and also changing society's image of them,so there is greater focus on their special abilities rather than on their abilities.

    In fact,the society's most disabled people provide all of us with important lessons.They show us confidence,creativity and positivity.The loser will fail 99 times and then give up. (4)要成功,你必须有耐心,永不放弃。You must always learn from your failures,and move on.

What will the world of tomorrow look like?Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on Earth today.New technology may solve old problems,and it may also create new ones.No technology is perfect.Each has advantages and disadvantages,as these three examples.

    When we dream about the future,many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying car.We could fly at 480 km per hour,avoiding traffic lights and busy roads.However,if the cars become popular,there will be problems with traffic control.

    3 D printing is another new technology for the future.3 D printers are already used to make life﹣size models of car parts,and man﹣made body parts,such as ears.As we move into the future,3 D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people.The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.

    Finally,people are trying to build a robot suit (套装).This is an electronic suit.It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way.It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident.However,one disadvantage at the moment is cost.

    Looking ahead,it is easy to imagine a future.We will be able to fly to work,print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads.Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible,we can certainly dream of a world. In this worldtechnology makes people's life easier and safer .It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.
