23、t I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eightie

24、s stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “Its nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mot

25、her treated.”“Oh, youre such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“Its not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, Im in no hurry,” she said. “Im on my way to a hospice(臨終醫院). I dont have any family left. The

26、doctor says I dont have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(計價器).For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone

27、 dancing as a girl.Sometimes shed ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said,” Im tired. Lets go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked.“Nothing.” I said

28、.“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto tightly.

31、hing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day sho

32、uld be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2, 600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against

33、 attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11, 000 Italians proved 8 a. m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that S

34、unday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and chole

35、sterol（膽固醇）but we dont know what actually causes heart attacks, so we cant give clear advice on how to prevent them, ”he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work

36、.“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal（內分泌）changes in their bodies, ”Willich explained. “All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot（血凝塊）which will cause a heart attack.”“When people return to wor

37、k after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities,”said Willich.59.

47、win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner. Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies two daughters. She studied in her mothers school, and finished her high school education at the C

48、ollege of Sevigne in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene developed X-ray equipment in military(軍事) hospitals in France and Belgium to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Her services were recognize

49、d in the form of a Military Medal by the French government.In 1918, Irene became her mothers assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and got married in 1926. Their daug

50、hter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.Like her mother, Irene combined family and work. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（輻射

51、能）. Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.67. Irene Curie was awarded a Military Medal because she _. A. won the Nobel Prize with FredericB. received a degree in mathematicsC. contributed to saving the woundedD. worked as a helper to her mother68. Where did Irene Curie meet her hus

53、B. researchC. machineD. disease EAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1904, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll(死亡人數)could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that s

54、hook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the citys highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have st

55、rengthened the citys buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers arent resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (藍圖) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to

56、cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundati

57、on to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquakes vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer wo

58、uld force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.71. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low

59、is that .A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways72. The function of the computer

60、mentioned in the passage is to .A. counterbalance an earthquakes action on the building.B. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy.C. help strengthen the foundation of the building.D. measure the impact of an earthquakes vibrations.73. The smart buildings discussed in the passage .A. would
