"When one of the doctors criticizes(批评) me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I' m not wrong. "says Viola, a nurse. This s a common reaction(反应) to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.

1. Try to be objective (客观) . When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol' s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. "I had put everything I had into making that sale," Sol says, "and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to earn through experience not to react like that to each failure. "

2. Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said . Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person' s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.

3. Take positive(积极的) action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be "nothing". "I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there," says Sheila. "His criticisms didn' t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them. " In Sheila' s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that' s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn' t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.

When Sol was criticized by his employer, he______

A．argued bitterly with his employer

B．was angry and gave up his job

C．was sorry for what he did

live. That's what all doctors' thought ,until they heard about Jercy Page. Jercy Page, it was said, never slept. Could this be true？ The doctors decided to see this strange man by themselves.

Jercy Page was ninety years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Jercy Page sleeping. Actually, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

The only rest that Jercy Page got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Page remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason？ No one could be sure.

The main idea of this passage is that______.

A．large numbers of people do not need sleep

B．a person was found who actually didn't need any sleep

C．everyone needs some sleep to stay alive

D．people can live longer by trying not to sleep

听力原文：M: Hi, Sue.

W: Hello, Jill, how are you？

M: I'm fine. Did you watch the TV special about barnacles last night？

W: No, I missed it. What did you learn about them？

M: They glue themselves to rocks in the ocean, shortly after birth. They also stay in the same place forever.

W: Right, have you ever tried removing one of these things？ It would be easier to chip the rock away than to get the barnacles off.

M: Exactly, and that's why scientists are trying to figure out what the barnacles glue is made of. It's considered one of the strongest adhesives in nature.

W: And it would have the advantage of being able to work on wet surfaces too.

M: Precisely, and because it's natural protein, it probably wouldn't be harmful to people like so many synthetic glues in use today.

W: Think of all the ways in which doctors and dentists could use such a glue to mend broken bones and fasten false teeth.

M: There could be countless uses. Scientists hope to learn soon exactly how the glue is made, so that people can make use of it.

W: That's good news for the general public. I hope it won't take long for the new glue to be put into use.

B．A new source of protein.

C．Types of sea animals.

n medicine or bleary-eyed with considering the moral/legal implications of starting life in a laboratory. But if you've ever been pregnant(怀孕的)yourself, one thing is certain: You wonder what it's like to carry a test-tube baby. Are these pregnancies normal？ Are the babies normal？

The earliest answers come from Australia, where a group of medical experts at the Queen Victoria Medical Center in Melbourne have taken a look at the continent's first nine successful test-tube pregnancies. The Australians report that the pregnancies themselves seemed to proceed according to plan, but at birth some unusual trends did show up. Seven of the nine babies turned out to be girls. Six of the nine were delivered by Caesarean section(剖腹产术). And one baby, a twin, was born with a serious heart defect and a few days later developed life-threatening abdominal(腹剖的)problems.

What does it all mean？ Even the doctors don't know for sure, because the numbers are so small. The proportion of girls to boys is high, but until there are many more test-tube babies, no one will know whether that's pure coincidence(巧合)or something special. The same thing is true of the single heart defect; it usually shows up in only 15 out of 60,000 births in that part of Australia, but the fact that it occurred in one out of nine test-tube babies does not necessarily mean that they are at special risk. One thing the doctors can explain is the high number of Caesareans.

The Australian researchers report that they are quite encouraged. All the babies are now making normal progress--even the twin with the birth defects.

Doctors are sure that more test-tube babies are girls than boys.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

W: And now you tell me that it's all of your job.

M: Well, it is. You shouldn't worry all the time.
