8、Passage Five
In 1924,Nordic ski events were held at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix,France．But the American skiers came home without medals．Norway took most of the medals for cross-country and ski jumping events that year．They did the same for many years after．From 1924 through 1972,the American skiers had no medals to show for their Olympic trips．The U．S．was generally thought to be weak in ski competition
But in 1974 it was discovered that the U．S．record was slightly better than people had been led to believe．And Norway's record was not quite as good．The discovery was a surprise and a delight to American ski fans,but even more so to American skier Anders Haugen．After fifty years,Anders got the medal he should have won back in 1924．
In the ski jump event at Chamonix in 1924,Haugen had scored in fourth place．He had just missed earning a medal．His score was 17．916,just slightly behind Thorleif Haug of Norway．Haug's score of 18 had won him the bronze medal．
But in 1974,Norway's National Olympic Committee did a check of all final Olympic results．There had been an error in?computing?Haug's score!So Haugen,now,an elderly man,traveled across the ocean for his award．On September 12,1974,hewas given a bronze medal in a special ceremony at the Norway Ski Museum．
The best title for this passage would be______

9、We first think of the traditional or nuclear family．This is a two-generation family,the father and the mother and their own children．Most couples wanted to have four children,two boys,two girls.
Some nuclear families,however,may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them,that is three generations．This kind of family with grandparents,parents,and grandchildren is called an extended family．This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century,but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter．This is more possible now that American homes have become larger．What is interesting,however,is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families,this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family,with just two generations again living together,a grandparent and parents,with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits．
Now,the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family．In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children．As I said,this can be the result of the husband's death,of an unmarried mother,of a separation or divorce．There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children,for any of the same reasons．A motherless family may also be fatherless,but still a family with one adult．This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.
One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common．A single parent with one or more children will marry again．Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent．Together they will start what is called a blended family,which blends together or combines the children from two other families.
How is a blended family formed?

10、If you want to stay young,sit down and have a good think．This is the research result of professor Faulkner,who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result,we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age,and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations．
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain,which relate to intelligence and emotion,and determine the human character．
Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns．Those least at risk,says Faulkner,are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors．White--collar workers doing routine work are,however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking．Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need．"The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,"he says．"Think hard and engage in conversation．Don't rely on pocket calculators."
Faulkner's research findings are based on__.

11、Online distance learning is an instructional system which connects learners with educational resources．Students work on their own at home,at work,or at school and communicate with faculty and other students by means of e-mail,electronic meetings,videoconferencing,chat rooms,instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication．There are both advantages and disadvantages to online distance learning.
There are many benefits to using online distance learning environments．Online education is available all the time,anywhere and to all people．However,there are weaknesses for some learners．The online learner only has the written text and no other face-to-face hints．This may confuse the learner and cause misunderstanding．While distance learning allows for an openness,it is also difficult because it is done by e-mail messages and writing,and therefore may take more time than face-to-face learning．Sometimes the messages can be overwhelming for many online students.
Universities,colleges and schools use online distance learning environments．These are important for students who may be unable to attend classes for various reasons like illnesses or busy everyday schedules．Some learners just want to further their studies at home．They enjoy the convenience of home learning as they take regular programs or enrichment classes.
Online courses keep learners very occupied at all hours of the day．There are a great many messages and other online resources to read and respond to．Most learners have regular jobs or attend regular school classes on ground as well．However,the benefits are clear．Online distance learning is becoming very popular．Some online classes have become a profitable business as they replace regular traditional means of learning.
One of the good aspects of online distance learning is__.

13、Stress makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing,try to relax,and become calm again．Too much stress results in physical,emotional,and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress．Stress can affect the heart．It can increase the pulse rate,make the heart miss beats,and can cause high blood pressure．Stress can affect the respiratory system．It can lead to asthma．It can cause a person to breathe too fast,resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide．Stress can affect the stomach．It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food．These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress．People suffering from stress often feel anxious．They may have panic attacks．They may feel tired all the time．When people are under stress,they often overreact to little problems．For example,a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice．Stress can make people angry,moody,or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses．Depression,an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness,can be the result of continued and increasing stress．Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress．Eating disorders,such as anorexia,are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress．If stress is allowed to continue,then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem．It attacks the body．So,reduce stress:stop the world and rest for a while.
Stress can affect the respiratory system by__.

16、In the race to the moon, who came in first?You might say the answer is Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, the crew of Apollo 11. Or you could represent for the crew of Apollo 10 , which reached the moon in May 1969 and then headed back to Earth without landing.But there is a much stranger answer to this question, depending on how much you care about humans and what your definition(定义)of reaching the moon might be. Before any people arrived at the moon, other animals had got there first. And unlike the dogs and monkeys that were made famous in early space shots and Earth orbits, the first creatures to reach the moon were a pair of tortoises , Discovery’s Amy Shira Teitel reminded us.The Soviet spacecraft (航天器) sent the animals around the moon—although not into its orbit—during a mission in the middle of September, 1968. The unmanned(无人驾驶的)craft then returned to Earth and dashed into the Indian Ocean, after which the Russians recovered the craft.A month later, Soviet scientists revealed that the spacecraft had been a tiny ship, carrying the tortoises, wine flies, meal worms, plants, seeds, bacteria, and other living matter.The tortoises, as history records, lost about 10 percent of their body weight, but had a healthy appetite when they returned to Earth. In the following checkups comparing the animals to “stay-at-home turtles used as a test control,” most things seemed normal, aside from some vaguely explained minor problems with the liver.What this all means is that, as Teitel explained, “The first living beings to see an Earthrise from the Moon were Russian tortoises. However, as far as I can tell, the animals were not named.”According to the passage, which of the following reached the moon first?
