It was evening rush hour on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach, CA. Drivers lined up from traffic signal to traffic signal and were anxious to get home. On a side street merging (并入) into this highway was a timid driver who was afraid to edge in and no one let her in. Some of the drivers backed up behind her and loudly blasted their horns. This made her more upset and nervous.
On the right of this side street, the signal on Pacific Coast Highway turned red and traffic stopped. A driver who saw what was happening to this woman stopped a few car lengths behind her car and motioned to her to pull in front of his car. She quickly did and as he waited, two more cars dashed in behind her car.
While the woman he’d helped waited for the signal to turn green, she sank into her driver’s seat and was deeply relieved. Although this thoughtful man couldn’t see it, her body language expressed her gratitude.
If you’ve been in a traffic situation like the one she was in, you know how upsetting it can be. But this little act of kindness allowed her to safely reach her home. She told others about this, which encouraged them to do something nice for someone else.
This kindness spreads. Someone does something nice for you and in turn you’re likely to do something nice for that person or for someone else.
A simple act of kindness could have a widespread effect. It’s like a stone that drops in a pond and causes ripples in each direction. No one knows how far those ripples will travel but they will affect everything they touch along the way.
59. How did the thoughtful man help the lady driver to edge in the traffic flow? A. He drove in front of her car and asked her to follow his car.
B. He signaled to her to drive in when the traffic signal turned green.
C. He stopped his car some distance back to give her enough space to move in. D. He stopped a few cars from dashing in behind her car.
60. What can we know about most of the drivers on Pacific Coast Highway from the story? A. They were not friendly or thoughtful.
B. They are thankful to the driver who helped the lady. C. They blasted their horns to encourage the lady driver. D. They were not anxious to get home.
61. How does the writer feel about the behavior of the man who helped the lady? A. Worried. B. proud C. Upset. D. Moved. 62. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Thoughtful Man Driver Who Helped a Lady Driver B. A Tiny Act of Kindness Makes the World Nicer C. A Lady Driver in an upsetting Traffic Situation D. The Rush Hour on Pacific Coast Highway

HANGZHOU, April 4 (Xinhua) —Another H7N9 bird flu case has been confirmed in east China's Zhejiang Province, the provincial health department said Thursday, bringing the country's total number of cases to 10.
The patient is a 64-year-old man from Huzhou City. He became ill on March 29 and was admitted to a hospital in Huzhou on March 31.
On Thursday, medical experts confirmed that he was infected with the H7N9 bird flu strain after the provincial center for disease control and prevention said late Wednesday that he tested positive for the virus.
An investigation has found that all 55 people who had close contact with the man have not showed any abnormal clinical symptoms, the department said.
So far, China has confirmed 10 H7N9 cases — four in Jiangsu Province, two in Shanghai Municipality, one in Anhui Province and three in Zhejiang. The two patients in Shanghai and one in Zhejiang have died.
Health authorities and hospitals in many Chinese provinces have been on high alert for H7N9 cases.
In Nanchang, capital of Jiangxi Province, which neighbors Zhejiang, five hospitals have been selected and ordered to be ready to treat H7N9 patients, though no cases have been reported there. China's health authorities have promised transparency(透明) and cooperation to the World Health Organization (WHO) in regards to human infections of the new strain of bird flu.
On Wednesday afternoon, the National Health and Family Planning Commission distributed prevention and control plans and technique directives（指示）to health institutions nationwide. \far, the sources of infection have not been clear, but based on past experiences and recent epidemiological (病理学的) studies, the sources could be poultry or the secretion and excrement from poultry,\

There are many differing thoughts on the effectiveness of hypnosis (催眠) as a kind of treatment. However, scientific studies seem to have concluded that hypnosis is not only a true kind of treatment but also highly effective. There have been a number of controlled studies in recent decades and they all seem to agree hypnosis most definitely does work. Within this essay I will discuss just two of many studies about hypnosis and how they show that hypnosis works. In a study released in the Journal of Clinical Psychology to test the helpfulness of hypnosis in losing weight, 109 volunteers (ranging from the age of 17 to 67) completed a behavioral treatment either with or without the addition of hypnosis. The treatment took nine weeks and during return check-ups both eight months and two years after the treatment the people who used hypnosis showed a continued weight loss rate much higher than the people who didn’t. Those who used hypnosis were much better at achieving their ideal weight goals. In 2009, researchers at Hull University found that hypnosis had an influence on brain scans. This shows that hypnosis had an influence on brain activity that can be picked up on brain scans. This shows that hypnosis is not just a placebo treatment (安慰疗法) as some doubters claim it is. “Our study shows hypnosis is real,” said British psychologist Dr. Michael Heap who was involved in the study. This piece of research shows that hypnosis works and also exactly how it works. There are also studies proving that hypnosis works for pain relief, improving skin quality, improving confidence as well as helping with many other problems. If you’ve ever thought about using hypnosis but were not sure whether it would work for you, you should now have all the proof you need to use hypnosis with confidence.
67. The study mentioned in Para.2 shows that ______. A. hypnosis works immediately after being used B. hypnosis is effective in helping people lose weight C. people will gain weight if stopping using hypnosis D. old people have difficulty in achieving ideal weight goals 68. We learn from the 2009 study that hypnosis ______. A. does not really work B. is just a kind of comfort C. can help improve confidence D. has visible function on the brain 69. The passage mentions the following possible effects of hypnosis except _______. A. easing pain B. improving skin quality C. shaping character D. helping losing weight 70. What is the author’s attitude towards using hypnosis? A. Negative. B. Approving. C. Cautious. D. Skeptical.

Besides, animals’ wastes are a serious problem because they spread disease. Even worse, some dogs become aggressive and bite people, sometimes causing serious injury. To keep us safe and healthy, we should change the uncivilized way that some people keep pets. In my opinion, the government should take measures to bring it under control. Also, remember that if you are unfortunate enough to be bitten by a dog, you should deal with it in the proper way and go to see a doctor.
