3.There is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step.Patients receiving joint implants (移植) often are able to resume many of the physical activitiesthey love, even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder, then, that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in 2007, surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implants (the joints most commonly replaced), double the number of performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine, they are not failure free."Implants must sometimes be replaced," said Dr. Henrik Malchau, an orthopedic surgeon (矫正外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years."The percentage may sound low, but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation," said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries,often painful, and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower, many experts agree. Sweden, for instance, has a failure rateestimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry, a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Even country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure rates significantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry, chief of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel __ about data gathering inthe U.S.

Passage Four

Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and

his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.

To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving( 进化 ) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting fielD、（84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed ：They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.

Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use --that of controlling and domesticating ( 驯养 ) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.

(85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences( 后果 ), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.For over a million years. our forefathers were basically _____.

8.The World Trade Organization(WTO),founded on January 1,1995,aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible,making sure that trade agreements arerespected and that any disputes(争端）can be settled.In the five years since its founding,the WTO has become well-known as one of the world's most powerful economic organizations,taking its place alongside the World Bankand International Monetary Fund.The system of global rules for international trade,however,dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs(关税）and Trade(GATT) was formed after World War II.As time went by,it became clear that the GATT had two majordrawbacks-thelimited areas of trade it covered,and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.after seven years of trade talks endingin 1994. that so-called Uruguay Round finallyto the WTO,complete with aneffective system to settle disputes ,and new rolescovering trade in services and intellectual property(知识产权）Eve afterseven years of talksand 22500pagesof agreements there were stillproblems especially thedifficult-to-deal with areas of agriculture and services,which thenations agreed to revise in 2000.TheWTO,with its head ofinGenevahas 135 members with 30 morewaiting tojoin In the new century,the WTO will（）

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities.Of course.there have always been people who have looked foradventure-those whohave climbed the highest mountains,explored unknown parts of the world or sailed insmall boats across the greatestoceans.Now,however,there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity.You jumpfrom a high place(perhaps a bridge,or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the groundwith an elastic rope tied to your ankles,You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour till therope stops you from hitting the ground.It is estimated that 2 million people around theworld have now tried bungee jumping.Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involvejumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.Why do people take part in such activities as these?Some psychologists suggest that it is because life inmodern societies has become sate and boring.Not very long ago,people's lives were constantly under threat.They had to go out and hunt for food,diseases could not easily becured,and life was a continuous battle for survival.

Nowadays,according to many people,lite offers little excitement.They live and work in comparatively safe environment,they buy food in shops,and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.the answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.4.People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because（）

There are two common explanations for origin of tipping. The Oxford English Dictionary says tip was seventeenth-century underworld slang for —giveas in ― Tip me your money or your life. Opponents (85) of tipping will probably prefer this explanation, since it suggests the practice as originally a form of robbery. A less reputable, but nonetheless charming explanation is that in Renaissance( 文艺复兴 ) coffeehouses, boxes were set near the door, into which customers could drop money: These boxes, according to the story, bore the legend ― To Insure Promptitude, which was ultimately shortened to TIP. Whether it was a serving woman or a boss with his or her eye on depressing wages who first thought up the idea, the story does not say.

Tipping became common in England by the middle of the eighteenth century. Because it is ill-suited to a country without an established servant class,it did not catch on in America until after the Civil War, when former slaveholders suddenly found themselves having to pay the help and when new-rich industrialists adopted the European fashion. By the turn of the century, we had made the custom our own, and the American ― big tipper was on his way. Today, although the lines between bribery( 贿赂 ) and thanks for services remain as vague as ever, tipping has become universal, not least because, in an increasingly uncertain economy, it provides the growing service class with income that is at least as reliable as wages and that is less subject to tax review. Not surprisingly, government officials as among the few die-hards who still question the tipping system. They have a point too. Tippers ’ International Association estimates that U.S. workers get about $5 billion a year in tips.The passage is about_______.

Claude-Oscar Monet ( 1840 -- 1926 ) was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin. Who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.

In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the

Academie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in the army in Algeria ( 阿尔及利亚 ).

He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era. In 1870, Monet married

Camille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prnssian war,they moved to London Back to

France, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine (塞纳河 ) which drew many other Impressionist painters. Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.

In 1872,he visited Le Havre where he painted "An Impression,Sunrise". When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement "Impressionism".

Monet's wife died in 1879,and he set up home with Alice Hoschede, the wife of one of his most important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet traveled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.

From 1890 he began to paint a series (系列 ) of

pictures of one subject, including "Haystacks" "Rouen Cathedral" and "Waterlilies". The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny, where he lived from 1883 on. He painted them over and over again,most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.What do we know about Monet's life since 18907

There's a time to get angry,and it's best for your child if you do.Let's say your childhit a playmate with a toy-hard enough to make the other child cry.How can you teachyour child to feel sorry so he or she won't do it again?Researchers say the best way forParents to react(反应）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why theyare mad.

Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they'recalm before scolding their children.But the mother or father who explains reasonably to achild,"Peter was crying because you hit him."is not likely to attract much attention.Young children need to be scolded immediately,and strongly,before they'll take criticism（批评）to heart.

When your young child does something wrong,scold him or her seriously at once.Atthe same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong.An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good,Forbidding a child to play outsideor not allowing him to watch TVas a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation,Make certain your child understands that although his or herwrongdoing has made you angry,you still love him or her.Use simple,direct words suchas,"You hurt Peter.How would you feel if he hit you?You must never,never hurt people."If your voice expresses strong feelings clearly,your message will carry enoughweight.1.According to researchers,how should parents react when their child did somethingwrong?（）

Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s51number sense．A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming．The bird did not52until the man left the tower．The man had an53．He took another man with him to the tower．One man left and the other stayed, but they did not54the bird．The crow stayed away until the second man left, too．The experiment was55with three men and then with four men．But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were56．It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were57able to fool the crow.

How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good．For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a58group．But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are59fooled.
