Some people collect

Others collect
coins
．
Noah Webster
，
Jr
．
collected
words
．
He did not
save just the words
，
of
course
，
but also their
meanings and spellings
．
His
collection became the basis
of today
’
s American
English
．
Webster
was
born
on
October
16
，
1758
，
on
a
farm
in
West
Hartford
．
Webster
was
interested in language
even as a child
．
Most
children at the time stopped their education after
only a few
years
．
But Webster continued
and attended college at Yale
University
．
During the four years Webster studied
at Yale
，
the American
colonies(
殖民地
)separated
from
Britain
in
the Revolutionary
War
．
People
then
argued about
the
language
of
the
newly
independent
states
．
Should it be English
or German? After all
，
10
percent of the population
spoke German
．
Webster
thought
the
language
of
the
American
states
should
be
English
．
Not
British
English but American
English
．
The only problem was
that such a language did not yet formally
exist. People in different American
states used different
words
，
spellings and
pronunciations
．
Webster
believed
improving
children
’
s
education
could
help
build
a
stronger
nation
．
Young
Americans should also learn to use a standard
language
．
So he decided to
write
a series of
textbooks
：
a
speller
，
a reader and a
grammar
．
Webster published
the first book
，
which came to be called The Blue-Backed
Speller
，
in
1783
．
The
speller
immediately
became
a
best
seller
．
Soon
it
was
used
in
schools
in
every
state
．
In 1787
Webster changed the book
’
s
name to The American Spelling Book.
Webster
used
the
money
he
earned
from
his
speller
to
begin
another
project
：
a
dictionary
．
He
believed Americans needed a dictionary that
reflected their own
geography
，
political system
and history
．
His first
version
，
published in
1806
，
included about
40
，
000
words
．
His
second
，
called the American
Dictionary of the English
Language
，
included
70
，
000
words
．
Webster
’
s
dictionary came to be a symbol of the
country
’
s new national
identity
．
21
．
What does the
passage mainly tell us?
A
．
The biography
of Noah Webster
．
B
．
The symbol of
America
’
s national
identity
．
C

importance of American
English

D

English

Being forgiving to yourself and others
can protect against stress and the harm it does to
mental
health
，
according to a new
study in the Journal of Health
Psychology
．
Researchers looked at the effects of
lifetime stress on a
person
’
s mental
health
，
and how
more forgiving people got along
compared with people who
weren
’
t so
forgiving
．
To do
this
，
they
asked
148
young
adults
to
fill
out
questionnaires
that
assessed
their
levels
of
lifetime
stress
，
their
tendency to forgive and their mental and physical
health
．
No
surprise
，
people
with
greater
exposure
to
stress
had
worse
mental
and
physical
health
．
But
the
researchers
also
discovered
that
if
people
were
highly
forgiving
of
both
themselves and
others
，
that characteristic
alone almost removed the connection between stress
and mental
illness
．
“
It
’
s
almost entirely erased
—
it
’
s
zero
，
”
says study
author
Toussaint
．
“
If you
don
’
t have forgiving
tendencies
，
you feel the
immediate effects of stress in a severe
way
．
You
don
’
t have anything to
cushion you against that
stress
．
”
How a forgiving personality protects a
person from the influence of severe stress is hard
to determine
．
The
researchers infer that people who are more
forgiving may adopt better skills
to
deal with stress
，
or their
reaction to major
stressors(
压力源
)may be
slow
．
Though more research is needed to fully
understand the benefits of being more
forgiving
，
Toussaint believes
“
100
％”
that forgiveness can be
learned
．
His own previous
research has
shown that saying a short
prayer on forgiveness can help people take the
edge off.
“
I think
most people want to feel good and
forgiveness offers you the opportunity to do
that
，
”
he
says
．
28
．
The
researchers got the effect of forgiving
by_____
．
A
．
analyzing
questionnaires
B
．
doing
scientific experiment
C
．
writing
research papers
D
．
communicating
with 148 adults
29
．
What can we
infer from the passage?
A
．
Forgiving
tendencies can deal with all mental
problems
．
B
．
It remains
unknown why forgiveness helps to reduce
stress
．
C
< br>．
Toussaint
’
s
study has fully discovered the benefits of being
forgiving
．
D
．
Saying a short
prayer on forgiveness is the key to getting rid of
stress
．
30
．
What does the
underlined phrase
“
take the
edge off
”
in the last
paragraph probably mean?
A
．
Look
ahead
．
C
．
Make up their
mind
．
B
．
Become
relaxed
．
D
．
Stick to their
goals
．

What may be
the best title for the passage?
A
．
A new study on
physical health
B
．
Forgiving
yourself makes you feel good
C
．
Forgiveness is
good for mental health
D

A fly with an extremely unusual ability
to hear is the model for what may be the future of
new and improved heating
aids
．
Neal Hall is a sound
engineer who worked on the new hearing
aid model
．
He says
the tiny yellow fly living in Central America and
the southern United States
owns special
hearing structure
．
Mr
．
Hall
and
his
team
at
the
University
of
Texas
made
a
copy
of
the
fly
’
s
heating
structure
．
They
discovered that the fly has a clever
mechanism(
机制
)that instead of
using two
independent
ears
，
like a human
would
，
the fly's ears are
actually coupled
．
The fly's cars are two millimeters
apart
．
That distance is so
small that sound reaches one
ear
just
four
millionths
of
a
second
before
arriving
at
the
other
．
Experts
say
it
should
be
impossible to identify
where a sound is coming
from
．
But inside this
fly
’
ear there is
a 1.5
millimeters long structure
similar to a see-saw
—
a piece
of children
’
s play
equipment
．
Like the see
．
saw<
/p>
，
the
fly
’
s ear structure goes up
and down from a central
point
．
Pressure
waves against the structure increase
the time it takes for sound to
travel
，
which permits the fly
to identify sound
easily
．
Mr
．
Hall and his
team used silicon(
硅
)to copy
the fly
’
s ear
structure
．
They also used
special electric materials that enable
them to measure its movements at the same
time
．
Hall says
the hearing aid device could be used in two
ways
．
One way would be to
help the
military on the battle
field
，
where sensors could
find where shots are coming
from
．
The second
way would be to remove unwanted noise
from a person's surroundings
．
“
That is a feature that
is
incredibly useful for hearing
aids
，
for
example
，
if you turn up the
gain of a hearing aid to hear
someone
across from you
，
it also
expands everything else in the
room
，
”
said
Hall
．
32
．
What
’
s the
author
’
s purpose of writing
the passage?
A
．
To
introduce a hearing aid based off the
fly
’
s ear
structure
．
B
．
To describe a
fly with an unusual hearing
ability
．
C
．
To compare the
fly's ears with the hearing
aid
．
D
．
To encourage
people to protect their
hearing
．
33
．
In which way
are human
’
s ears different
from the fly
’
s ears in
structure?
A
．
Huma
n
’
s ears are much
bigger
．
B
．
Human
’
s
ears are coupled
．
