D
At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse (沖動(dòng)),but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim (苗條的) executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious society like the U. S. , thin is “in”, fat is “out”.
It’s not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed (著迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the sole reason for America’s obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising every day.

E
A woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11 years after a pioneering voice box transplant.
Brenda Jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her life. Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words, “Good morning, I want to go home.” It is the first time a voice box and windpipe (氣管) have been transplanted at the same time and only the second time a voice box has ever been transplanted.
Ms. Jensen, 52, had been unable to speak on her own since her voice box was damaged during surgery in 1999. Since then, she has been unable to taste or smell food, could breathe only through a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box.
In October, surgeons at the University of California Davis Medical Centre removed the voice box and 6cm of the windpipe from a donor body. In an 18-hour operation, this was transplanted into Ms. Jensen’s throat and the team connected it to her blood supply and nerves.
Professor Martin Birchall from University College London, who was part of the surgery team, said, “We’ve learned that we can repair nerves to make even very complex organs function again. It’ll open the door to better facial transplants and will be extremely important as tissue engineering develops.” A voice box transplant might be life changing, but it is not life saving. Everyone who receives a transplant must take drugs to control the immune system for the rest of their lives. These drugs can reduce life expectancy, so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures. One of the reasons Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling drugs after a kidney-pancreas (胰腺) transplant four years ago. Professor Peter Belafsky, part of the surgical team, said, “Brenda was an exceptional (例外的) candidate for the transplant because she was highly motivated.” Anyone who’s met Brenda knows that she is a strong and determined person with a great outlook on life in spite of the many physical challenges she’s faced over her lifetime.
67. The voice transplant operation is of great significance because it proves that _______.
A. facial transplants are now easier to perform
B. nerve repairing is a breakthrough in tissue engineering
C. new medical technology is always possible to discover
D. the drugs taken after the operation help the patient live longer
68. Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant because she was _______.
A. experienced and brave
B. seriously ill and motivated
C. determined and realistic
D. strong-willed and prepared
69. Which of the following is the right time order of the event?
a. Ms. Jensen received a voice box transplant operation.
b. Ms. Jensen began to take immune controlling drugs.
c. Doctors removed the voice box from a donor body.
d. Ms. Jensen had a kidney-pancreas transplant operation.
A. acdb B. dbca C. bdca D. cabd
70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. First Words from New Voice Box
B. Transplant Saves A Woman’s Life
C. Overcoming Obstacles to Speak Again
D. Courageous Woman Defeating Fears

One possible version:
It can safely say that most of us fill our day with negativity from the moment we get out of bed. Then we wonder why our day is not the best it can be. It’s advisable, however, that we think more positively.
I will never forget an afternoon when my bus was stuck in rush traffic on my way home. Desperately wanting to have a look at what my father could have bought for my birthday, I was in so worried a state that I was about to lose my temper. Fortunately enough, I didn’t. I made it positive by saying that this was awesome and I could spare this time to clear my head from study. Therefore, when I got home I was in a great mood and ready to play with my family and my birthday gift, a new bicycle.
From my experience, I draw a conclusion that making the choice to stay positive is an easy task though it takes commitment and will not happen over night. A positive attitude towards bad experiences can help make you happier and stronger and the path to success clearer in the long run. (189字)
