听力原文： In 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to diagnose the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was flown to London and admitted to Hammersmith Hospital, where specialists help was available. She was then only semi-conscious and on the "Dangerously Ill" list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they too, were baffled by the very unusual symptoms. While they were discussing the baby's ease, a nurse asked to speak to them.
"Excuse me," said Nurse Marsha Maitland, "but I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning."
"What makes you think that？" Dr. Brown said. "Thallium poisoning is extremely rare."
"A few days ago, I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie," Nurse Maitland explained. "In this book, somebedy uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. They're exactly the same as the baby's."
"You're very observant and you may be right," another doctor said. "We'll carry out some tests and find out whether it's thallium or not."
The tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making optical glass. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar.

第5题
Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators(拖延者), some people may look lazy when they are really thinking planning, contemplating, researching. We should all re member that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance or while someone was "goofing off(游手好闲)". Newton wasn't working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy" build the car or stove we buy, particularly if that "laziness" were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being "lazy"--that is, taking time off for a rest --is good for a overworked student or executive. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard or the doctor who's simply working himself overtime too many evenings, at the clinic. So be careful when you're tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his or her next book.
The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A．laziness is a moral sin
B．there are advantages and disadvantages in being lazy
C．laziness is the sin off deep-seated emotional problems
D．lazy people do more careful work

School Degrees
In the past， degrees were very unusual in my family. I remember the day my uncle graduated. We had a huge party， and for many years my mother called him "the genius" and listened to his opinion. Today in comparison， five of my brothers and sisters have degrees， and two are studying for their masters". However， some people think that this increased access to education is devaluing degrees.
People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying.
Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible. They know a lot about one narrow subject， but are unable to apply their skills. Employers prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.
However， I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development. In the past education was only for the rich; and powerful. Now it is available to everyone， and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual. First of all， it is impossible to be overeducated. The more people are educated， the better the world will be， because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas. A further point is that people with degrees have many more opportunities. They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing，
instead of being forced to take a job they dislike. Finally， a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country. It attracts foreign investment.
In conclusion， although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education， I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.
What can we learn about the author‘s family？ 查看材料
A.They used to disregard education.
B.They are overeducated now.
C.Few members were allowed to go to school in the past.
D.There are now more educated members than in the past.

Blameless
I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.
In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.
"Who did this？" my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.
"This is all your fault, Katharine," my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.
From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.
But the Whites didn't worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.
In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York.
The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver's license (驾照), Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.
The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah's new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn't see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.
Jane was killed immediately.
I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I've ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child. When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy's leg was broken. They hugged (拥抱) us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls' tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches (拐杖).
To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, "We're so glad that you're alive."
I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs. White said, "Jane's gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister's death？"
They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She's als0 a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.
How did the author's parents differ from the Whites？
A．The author's parents were less caring.
B．The author's parents were less loving.
C．The author's parents were less friendly.
D．The author's parents were less understanding.
