4648題為題組

Aspirin, the wonder drug of the past one hundred years, seems to offer more health benefits every year. Besides just easing pain or curing a headache, aspirin has now been found to be effective in reducing the risk or severity of heart attacks and strokes. Since it is an over-the-counter drug, it is widely accessible. With all of these benefits, people may think of taking aspirin as they feel uncomfortable. In fact, it's one of the most common medications used worldwide. But for some people, its benefits are unattainable because they have a resistance to, or are immune from, aspirin. This immunity or "aspirin resistance" is found in 30% of all Americans, according to "Circulation," a medical journal published by the American Heart Association. These people also have a greater chance of death after a heart attack than people who are not aspirin resistant.

This miracle drug, aspirin, seems to be a cure-all, but not for all of us. Nearly one third of us are not able to take advantage of its benefits. We can only hope that someday researchers will be able to invent an equally effective substitute for the rest of us. In the meantime, aspirin resistant individuals will have to take extra precautions by controlling one's diet and weight, as well as maintaining one's general health, in order to lower their odds for suffering heart disease or stroke.

(   ) 46. What does the passage mostly focus on?

(A) Aspirin is a one hundred-year-old cure-all.

(B) Aspirin has tremendous medical function, but not everyone can take advantage of it.

(C) People who take aspirin should control their diet.

(D) The American Heart Association published a medical journal called "Circulation."

(   ) 47. Aspirin works in the following EXCEPT __________.

(A) avoiding heart attacks                                      (B) easing pain

(C) curing a headache                                             (D) reducing the risk of strokes

(   ) 48. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

(A) Aspirin is one of the most commonly used drugs in the world.

(B) Some people are resistant to aspirin.

(C) 30% of all Americans suffer heart diseases.

(D) Some people have greater chance of death after a heart because they are aspirin resistant

Jane Goodall, the world's leading zoologist and naturalist, was born in London in 1934 and was raised in Bournemouth. She grew up reading about the adventures of the fictional Tarzan, Lord of the Apes. Ever since she was young, she had always wanted to go explore the world and encounter its living creatures. So she attended secretarial school, worked for a film company and saved up on money. At the age of 23, she finally made her dream-come-true trip to Africa.

She found out that chimpanzees show affection the way humans do; she was impressed by their intelligence, social and hunting skills, and systems of communication. Most amazing of all, Jane realized that chimpanzees can make tools---a skill scientists thought only humans were capable of. After a lifetime of working with chimpanzees and other animals, Jane helped establish the Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation in 1977.

With her passion for anthropology and her non-profit institute, Jane Goodall tells us that we should respect the animal world and all creatures are precious. Jane and her work are constant reminders that understanding and being good to all living things can only be good for our planet.

When you were young, your parents and teachers taught you how to act properly. They demonstrated good manners and explained which behaviors were not acceptable. Most of those behaviors are so natural to you now that you can't imagine people behaving differently. However, those manners are not all universal. Each culture has its own set of expectations for how people behave. Each culture also has its own taboos, or behaviors that are not acceptable. If you travel to another country, it is important that you learn that country's cultural practices so that your behavior is not offensive to your hosts.

Some cultural rules involve the way people speak and what they say. Different cultures have different ideas about which topics are too personal to discuss with acquaintances. For example, in some cultures it is very bad manners to ask an adult how old he/she is in casual conversation. Politics, religion, and sex are taboo topics of conversation in some cultures, but not in others. Rules for how conversations are conducted and how people speak vary from culture to culture as well. In some cultures, a conversation is expected to move back and forth quickly between the participants. Long pauses are considered uncomfortable and should be avoided. In other cultures, it is expected that you pause in silence before you reply to someone. This shows that you are carefully considering what your conversational partner has said.

(   ) 53. Some behaviors are so natural to us because __________.

(A) we have been constantly told since we were young that they are good and acceptable

(B) they are the same worldwide

(C) we are not allowed to imagine that they are unnatural

(D) they are not acceptable in other countries
