NASA-s New Horizons probe（宇宙探测器）flew by Pluto（冥王星）this morning,
sending back history's first up-close looks at the vast freezing-cold world. Closest
approach came at 7:49 a.m. EDT. To celebrate, NASA gave out the latest photo of
Pluto. It showed a reddish world with an amazing heart-shaped feature on its surface.
After today's close encounter, all the nine solar system's traditionally recognized
planets have now been visited by a spaceship-a huge project begun in 1962 when NASA's
Mariner 2 probe flew past Venus, a planet in the solar system. More than l,200
scientists, NASA guests and important persons, including 200 reporters, watched the
flyby live at New Horizons' mission control center.
That close encounter has been a long time coming. The$723 million New Horizons
mission launched in January 2006 but began taking shape in 1989. "New Horizons is'a
capstone mission'," Glen Fountain, mission project manager told Space, com. "It is the
first completion of the observations of our solar system. It-s giving us a new idea about
how we human beings fit into the universe."
New Horizons "faced a crazy number of challenges," Stern, a driving force behind
New Horizons said, "So many people stuck with this for so long. They got knocked
down; they stood up. They got knocked down again; they stood up again.”
In a coincidence, today's close approach falls on the 50th anniversary of the first flyby
of Mars, another planet, which was completed by NASA-s Mariner 4 spaceship.
There are no longer nine officially recognized planets, of course. The International
Astronomical Union regarded Pluto as “a dwarf planet" in 2006 in a decision that remains
controversial（有争议的）today.
21. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Ideas still vary in the identity of Pluto.
B. Only scientists could watch the flyby live.
C. Mars is the first planet visited by a spaceship.
D. New Horizons mission aimed to observe the solar system.
22. Glen Fountain may probably agree that _____________________．
A. it is the most difficult to land on Pluto in the solar system
B. New Horizons mission is a long and troublesome project
C. their strong determination leads to the successful flyby
D. people are likely to find new ways to fit into space
23. Which is the best title for the passage?
A.A New Horizons Probe B. NASA's Huge Project
C. Pluto,a Controversial Planet D. A Close Approach to Pluto

Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. The
power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a
smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round！
Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state
o~ happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our
hearts, minds and souls. Actually, that-s your choice, and if you think that way then your
own life will reflect that attitude of yours!
In order to make "sunshine" or rather, "light" part of our being, it is so important
that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what
you really feel you'd like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really
become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and
other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip (说闲话) about other people,
which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy (妒忌) and insecurity about
yourself.
You are also supposed to take a close look at your "intention". How many of you (Io
something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might
not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized for
what you have done is enough to create conditions on your intention. Think about it!
Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us
just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention
towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and
measure your need to feel "sunshine" in the other, you will see how both these elements
really contradict each other.
Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so. you
will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your
life and the lives of the people around you！

A. gossip about other people
B. take a close look at your intention
C. expect to be recognized for what you’ve done
D. become aware of your negative thoughts
26. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Expecting something in return for our help isn’t the right intention.
B. Breaking our patterns is the most important to get true sunshine.
C. If we don-t intend to help others, we create monsters inside us.
D. Negative attitudes have little to do with happiness.

Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez, chief of
American Girl Scouts, are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word "bossy".
Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?
The campaign claims that terms like "bossy" are improperly applied to females,
preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future "leaders". From its first
application, the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men It
first appeared in 1882, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, mentioning "a lady
manager who was extremely bossy . As late as 2008, the word appeared in reference to
females four times more often than males, claim the Ban Bossy campaigners. "To me, the
reference is always in association with women," says Helen Trim, director of Fresh
Minds. "I have three brothers and my family still call me 'bossy' today. " Her father is
the only other family member who could be considered in that way, says Trim, but
nobody would ever call him so.
Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed, rather than banned.
"But the thing with 'bossy' is that there-s an infantile(幼稚的) element to it, says Sara
Mills, professor at Sheffield University. "You think of ' bossy 'as being like a little kid
who's claiming more than he has the right to claim. "
It's not just "bossy" under fire. "Pushy" is another target. The implication is that
women shouldn't present themselves as powerful and confident, Mills suggests, which
some women are willing to listen to and accept. Trim points out that many modern female
business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled 'bossy'. And she rarely,
if ever, hears the word used within her company. But she says that the damage may be
done much earlier in a woman's life. "It does come about from those early teenage years. "
she says. "I think it’s impossible to ban a word, but if people are replacing it with words
like 'confidence' or 6assertiveness', we would all be in a much better place. "
28. More evidence is provided to show "bossy" is more applied to females by _ .
A. the Oxford English Dictionary B. the Ban Bossy campaigners
C. Helen Trim at Fresh Minds D. some experts in education
29. Trim's family still consider her bossy because .
A. she is expected to lead in her family
B. she is the boss of her company
C. she is a powerful and confident female
D. her father considers her that way
30. The underlined part "under fire most probably means .
A. definitely replaced B. strongly criticized
C. improperly applied D. eagerly expected
31. How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against "bossy"?
A. Objective. B. Angry. C. Doubtful D. Optimistic.
D
Professional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting their
performance on the football ground, say dentists. Their study on players at eight clubs in
England and Wales, in the British Journal o f Sports Medicine, showed nearly 4 0ut of 10
had cavities （蛀牙) and that athletes often had worse teeth than the general population.
Regularly taking sugary foods is one possible explanation.
The dentists, from the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at
University College London, examined 187 players' sets of teeth. They found 53% had
dental erosion (腐蚀), 45% were bothered by the state of their teeth and 7% said it
affected their ability to train or play. Around 40% had cavities, compared with 30% of
people of a similar age in the general population.
Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said: "These are individuals who
otherwise invest so much in themselves so it’s a surprising finding.
"There are two main groups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have very
serious disease that stops them in their tracks and they cannot play or train.
"There Il be others experiencing pain affecting sleep or sensitivity every time they take
a drink. "
At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling.
Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic foods
during training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouth
during exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection.
While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dental
health and educating their players. According to Stijin Vandenbroucke, head of medicine
and sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes have
greater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral disease
prevention for athletes and clubs.
32. What does the passage tell us about professional footballers teeth?
A. Nearly 4 out of 10 players in the UK suffer from toothaches.
B. They have been invested a great deal by individual players.
C. Many players' poor teeth bother their career and daily life.
D. British footballers teeth are examined regularly.
33. What mainly results in professional footballers' poor teeth?
A. Experiencing too much training.
B. Eating food with too much sugar.
C. Breathing in lots of air during exercise.
D. Having little education of oral disease prevention.
34. These findings are worrying clubs because____.
A. footballers aren’t willing to give up sugary or acidic food
B. they've spent much on their players' oral disease prevention
C. footballers have more serious tooth problems than the public
D. players' oral disease may lead to bad performance in games
35. This passage is most probably taken from____.
A. a dentist's diary B. a sports newspaper
C. a medicine magazine D. a science report
