Do you have a phobia? No, it is not an infectious (传染病) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation.
Did you know that some people fear heights? That is called acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or a lift. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. A fear of dirt is called mysophobia. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.
A phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation a person has what is called an ?anxiety attack?. Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for flight or fight.
One expert on phobias suggests we race our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in the relative safety of a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practise looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.

Every animal is a living radiator-heat formed in its cells(细胞), which gives off heat through its skin. Warm blooded animals keep a normal temperature by continuously replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce(盎司) of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say they live faster.
The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic(立方) centimeter of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew-mouse uses four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the shrew-mouse is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm blooded animals, the hummingbird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant. There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighed only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply more fuel.
1. The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it _______. A. produces heat in its body cells C. gives off heat through its skin
B. burns fuel to produce heat D. requires oxygen to produce heat

D. the length of time it lives
C. its general size and shape
4. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. There is no limit as to how large a warm blooded animal can be B. The hummingbird lives faster than any other warm-blooded animal C. Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones D. The hummingbird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals (1—4 CCAB)

Today, men have reached the top of the world?s highest mountains. But for many years, even people who lived among the mountains did not climb them. Indeed, people believed that men could not climb mountains.
For a long time, mountains were thought to be the home of evil(凶恶的) spirits. People believed dragons(龙) lived on the mountainside. They thought these dragons would gobble up anyone coming near.
When men began to climb mountains, they faced many dangers. The air high on a mountain was freezing
cold. There were deep cracks(裂缝) into which a climber could fall. Roaring winds and terrible storms could sweep a man off the mountainside.
At first, men did not have the proper equipment to climb high mountains. They did not have ice axes, ropes or the right kind of clothing.
Later, men could not reach the top of the highest peaks for another reason. As a man climbed higher, the air became thinner. There was less oxygen to breathe above 18 000 feet, a climber had to stop every few steps to catch his breath. His heart beat faster and his blood became thick. Above 25 000 feet, a climber would begin to see things that were not here. He could no longer think clearly about what he had to do.

The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30, 000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500, 000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things”. It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as…”. Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people?s spare time.
1. From the passage we can learn that _______. A. people spend too much money on sports
B. the development of sports is slower than any other activity C. most people enjoy sports because they can earn money D. nowadays sport is not merely a pastime for people 2. Nowadays, the word “sport” means _______. A. what people do in their spare time B. hunting wild animals and birds C. organized games

Before any period of exercise it is well worth spending two or three minutes warming up with a series of simple stretching exercises. This not only helps your joints(关节) to move easily but also prepares all your muscle groups for more energetic activity. It is rather like a cat stretching itself before it springs into action. Here are four movements to do in an easy and unhurried way, gently stretching each action without forcing it. Repeat each movement ten times, breathing normally throughout.
Ⅰ. Standing with your feet apart, push both arms out straight in front of you, fingertips touching. Raise them above your head, then down to the sides pushing each arm backwards at the same time.
Ⅱ. Standing with your feet apart and hands on hips(臀部). Tip your head back and look straight up to the ceiling. Roll your head round slowly to face the right then the floor, then the left, and finally up at the ceiling again. Repeat in the other direction.
Ⅲ. Standing with your feet apart and hands on your sides, lean first to the right and then to the left, sliding the hand down the side of the leg.
Ⅳ. Standing with your feet apart and arms out straight in front, with your eyes fixed on your right hands, swing your right arm round to the right, keeping it straight, as far as it will go. Return it to the front and repeat with the left arm. 有图：见《英语周报》精粹（高中版）P58页 （对原稿调顺序作改动） 1. Why should you do these exercises? A. To strengthen muscles. B. To stretch joints.
