【29】for us, we live in a universe that has at least important parts that are knowable. Our common-sense experience and our evolutionary history have【30】us to understand something of the workaday world. When we go into other realms, however, common sense and ordinary intuition【31】highly unreliable guides. It is stunning that as we go close to the speed of light our mass【32】indefinitely, we shrink toward zero thickness【33】the direction of motion, and time for us comes as near to stopping as we would like. Many people think that this is silly, and every week【34】I get a letter from someone who complains to me about it. But it is virtually certain consequence not just of experiment but also of Albert Einstein's【35】analysis of space and time called the Special Theory of Relativity. It does not matter that these effects seem unreasonable to us. We are not【36】the habit of traveling close to the speed of light. The testimony of our common sense is suspect at high velocities.
The idea that the world places restrictions on【37】humans might do is frustrating. Why shouldn't we be able to have intermediate rotational positions？ Why can't we【38】faster than the speed of light？ But【39】we can tell, this is the way the universe is constructed. Such prohibitions not only【40】us toward a little humility; they also make the world more knowable.

All things are made up of atoms. When(52)of an atom travels at almost the speed of light(53)we put more energy into it to increase the speed, it begins to in crease in mass. The energy that makes it travel fast cannot make it travel(54)the speed of light—nothing(55)light can travel that fast- so the energy goes into the thing(56)and increases its mass. Energy(57)into mass.
Why is the theory called the theory of relativity？ A thing that is relative depends upon(58)else to identify it or to define it. In relativity theory we identify or define mass, time, and length(59)to the speed of light.
When something is at rest, it looks(60)in length. However, when it travels at almost the speed of light, it becomes(61). Time also changes. However, the change in time is(62)to the change in length. The length of a thing becomes short(63)time becomes long.

up in Smoke
I began to smoke when I was in high school In fact, I remember the evening I was at a girlfriend's house, and we were watching a movie--a terribly romantic movie He (the hero of the movie) was in love, she (his lady) was beautiful, and they were both smoking My friend had only two cigarettes from a pack in her mother's purse, and she gave one to me It was my first time
My parents didn't care much They both smoked, and my older brother did too My mother told me that smokers don't grow tall, bull was already 5'6" (taller than most of the boys in my class), so I was happy to hear that "fact" In school, the teachers talked against smoking, but the cigarette advertisements were so exciting The men in the ads were so good-looking and so successful, and the women were--well, they were beautiful and sophisticated (老于世故的)
I read a book called How to Stop Smoking The writer said that smoking wastes time, and that cigarettes cost a lot of money "So what？" I thought The book didn't say that smoking can take away years of your life But ten years later, every' one began to hear about the negative effects of cigarette smoke: lung disease, cancer, and heart problems After that, there was a health warning on every pack of cigarettes I didn't pay much attention to the reports and warnings I felt healthy, and thought I was taking good care of myself
Then two events changed my mind First, I started to cough I thought it was just a cold, but it didn't get better Second, my brother got lung cancer He got sicker and sicker My brother and I used to smoke cigarettes together over twenty years ago, and we smoked our last cigarettes together the day before he died I sat with him in his hospital room, and I decided to quit "NO more cigarettes, ever," I said to myself
However, it was very hard to stop Nicotine (尼古丁) is a drug; as a result, cigarettes
cause a powerful addiction I tried several times to quit on my own--without success I made excuses I told myself: Smoking helps me keep my figure—i.e I don't gain weight when I smoke Smoking not only relaxes me but it also helps me think clearly I'm a free, liberated woman I can smoke when I want to
Finally, I ran out of excuses -I might say my excuses went up in smoke I joined the
"Stop Smoking" program at the local hospital, which also ended up in failure

My parents didn’t care much. They both smoked, and my older brother did too. My mother told me that smokers don’t grow tall, but I was already5’6”(taller than most of the boys in my class), so I was happy to hear that “fact”. In school, the teachers talked against smoking, but the cigarette advertisements were so exciting. The men in the ads were so good-looking and so successful, and the women were-well, they were beautiful and sophisticated(老于世故的).
I read a book called how to stop smoking. The writer said that smoking wastes time, and that cigarettes cost a lot of money. “So what？” I thought, the book didn’t say that smoking can take away years of your life. But ten years later, everyone began to hear about the negative effects of cigarette smoke: lung disease, cancer, and heart problems. After that, there was a health warning on every pack of cigarettes. I didn’t pay much attention to the reports and warnings. I felt healthy, and I thought I was taking good care of myself.
Then two events changed my mind. First, I started to cough. I thought it was just a cold, but it didn’t get better. Second, my brother got lung cancer. He got sicker and sicker. My brother and I used to smoke cigarettes together over twenty years age, and we smoked our last cigarettes together the day before he died. I sat with him in his hospital room, and I decided to quit. “NO more cigarettes, ever,” I said to myself.
However, it was very hard to stop, Nicotine(尼古丁)is a drug; as a result, cigarettes cause a powerful addiction. I tried several times to quit on my own—without success. I made excuses. I told myself: Smoking helps me keep my figure—i.e. I don’t gain weight when I smoke. Smoking not only relaxes me but it also helps me think clearly. I’m a free, liberated woman. I can smoke when I want to.
Finally, I ran out of excuses—I might say my excuses went up in smoke. I joined the “Stop Smoking” program at the local hospital, which also ended up in failure.

It provides an effective way for sellers to inform. buyers about products. Advertising thus helps manufacturers sell their products and benefits consumers by providing them with shopping information.
Advertising also helps the economy grow by stimulating demand for new products. Manufacturers spend much money to develop new products. Through advertising, they can speed up the process of creating a market for a product and so recover their costs more quickly. Fewer new products would be developed if manufacturers could not use advertising to help sell the products.
Advertisers include the expense of advertising in the sales price of a product. In some cases, advertising raises the price of a product. In other cases, advertising helps lower prices by creating the mass demand that supports mass production. Successful advertising makes many people want a product. By mass producing a product and developing a large volume of sales, the manufacturer can charge less per unit.
Sociologically, advertising supports the mass communication media. It pays all the costs of commercial television and radio. It provides viewers with free entertainment and news programs, though viewers are often annoyed by commercial interruptions. Advertising also pays three- fourths of the costs of newspapers and magazines. Without advertising, readers would have to pay a higher price for newspapers and magazines, and many of the publications would go out of business.
Because the mass media depend on advertising to stay in business, many people question whether advertisers control the media. Generally, media do no allow advertisers to influence their programming or editorial content. However, many broadcasters and publishers do not hesitate to run favorable information about their advertisers, and they sometimes refuse to run unfavorable information. Critics of commercial television maintain that dependence on advertising lowers the quality of TV programming . In order to sell advertising time at high prices, TV stations try do attract the largest possible audience. Critics argue that the stations therefore broadcast too many general entertainment programs and not enough informational and cultural programs.
Many critics also charge that advertising persuades people to buy products they do not need or want through the use of psychological techniques. Advertisers reply that they do not have the means to make people buy unwanted products. They argue that adults freely choose what to buy or what not to buy. Most experts agree, however, that that advertising is particularly persuasive to young children, who do not have the ability or experience to judge advertising critically. For this reason, the Federal Trade Commission has strict regulations governing advertising aimed at children.
Advertising is useful to the economy in the sense that.
A．it helps to inform. consumers about new products.
B．it gives the designers a chance to make money .
C．it helps to create a market for new products.
D．it gives the producers an excuse to raise prices.

Although it may sound funny to call scientists weather-watchers, there's【B3】funny about what they do. Specifically, weather-watchers are meteorologists(气象学者)【B4】work for the United States Weather Bureau. They study the ocean of【B5】that surrounds the earth and, with the information they get, predict our weather.
The atmosphere【B6】in height from 300 to 700 miles above the earth and is divided into a series of layers or shells. The layer that is most interesting【B7】the meteorologist is the troposphere(对流层) or the layer closest to the earth.【B8】is in the troposphere that all our weather is formed.
【B9】causes our weather is really a very simple process. Endless streams of hot air push up from the earth. As they rise, they are【B10】by the freezing temperatures of the【B11】troposphere. Once it has become cold and heavy, the air【B12】back toward the earth, but it【B13】move down because of the rising hot air. In the meantime, planetary winds, which blow around the earth, or air currents keep both the cold air mass as well as the hot air mass in【B14】.
There are two additional factors that influence these moving air masses.【B15】is water vapor that the rising hot air soaks up like a sponge. The other is temperature Which, by cooling the hot air, forces it to【B16】out its water vapor in the form. of rain, snow, or sleet(雨夹雪).
These air masses【B17】push against each other with tremendous pressure. When a high-pressure mass of air succeeds【B18】pushing out a low-pressure air mass, we have clearing conditions and【B19】weather. When a low-pressure air mass forces out a high-pressure mass of air, stormy weather can be【B20】.

The revival of classical culture brought about an entirely new age, not only in philosophy and literature but in the visual arts as well. In architecture, the principles and styles of ancient Greece and Rome were brought back to life and reinterpreted. They remained dominant until the 20th century.
Many kinds of stone are used as building materials. Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are not burnable and can be expected to endure. Stone architecture was often blended with stone sculpture. The use of stone has declined, however, because a number of other materials are more adaptable to industrial use.
The complexity of modern life calls for a variety of buildings. More people live in mass housing and go to work in large office buildings; they spend their income in large shopping centres, send their children to many different kinds of schools, and when they are sick they go to specialized hospitals and clinics. All these different types of buildings accumulated experiences needed by their designers.
By the middle of the 20th century, modern architecture, which was influenced by new technology and mass production, was dealing with increasingly complex social needs. Important characteristics of modern architectural works are expanses of glass and the use of reinforced concrete.

A．A government document.
B．A literary work.
C．A social art.
D．An individual's creation.
