5.閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要.
What should doctors say,for example,to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who,though he feels in perfect health,is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months?Is it best to tell him the truth?If he asks,should doctors reject that he is ill,or minimize the gravity of the illness?Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often.At times,they see important reasons to lie for the patients'own sake.Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients---to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death?
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition,and that informing them of risks destroys their hope,so that they may recover more slowly,or deteriorate(惡化)faster,perhaps even commit suicide.
But other studies show that,contrary to the belief of many physicians,a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth,even about serious illness,and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled.We are also learning that truthful information,humanely conveyed,helps patients cope with illness:help them tolerate pain better,need less medicine,and even recover faster after surgery.
Not only in medicine,but in other professions such as law and government as well,practitioners(從業(yè)者)may find themselves repeatedly in the dilemma of choosing between telling the true information and covering it up.Therefore,there is an urgent need to debate this issue openly.Otherwise,people in our society will be blindly comfortable in the old saying,"What you don't know can't hurt you."
Should a doctor lie to patients for their benefit?According to some studies,to avoid the risk of worsening their health condition,most doctors choose to hide the truth from the patient suffering from fatal illness.However,it has been found out most patients prefer to be told the truth,which,if imparted,will enable them to battle bravely with illness.In view of the similar dilemma repeated in other professions,this issue cries for an open debate..

Dear David,
I'm glad you've noticed the promotion of public bicycles in our city.Thank you for your concern.
With rapid development of our city in recent years,the number of private cars is on the increase,making the streets more and more crowded.To relieve the traffic pressure,public bicycle service is provided in our city.This makes it more convenient for us to get around and the traffic is no longer as crowded as before.At the same time,it greatly reduces air pollution.Besides,the bicycle riders can get plenty of exercise as well.
I hope that the use of public bicycles will become more and more popular and everyone can live a low-carbon life.
Yours,
Li Hua.

6.When enjoying children's birthdays or a long-expected family holiday,you may usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph.But if you're one of those people who can't stop snapping photos at an important event,be aware--you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.
Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories.
Maryanne Garry,a New Zealand psychology professor,has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories.44I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,she says.Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children,for example,are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them.The picture only captures a small part of the total experience.And because parents remember less about these important events,they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences.As a result,children's own childhood memories are reduced.
The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel's thinking.She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.
Henkel,who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut,did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university's art museum.The students observed some objects and photographed others.Then,back at the laboratory,they were given a memory test.Henkel found what she called a"photo-taking effect".The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of,and they remembered fewer details about those objects.She says her students'memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.
"As soon as you hit‘click'on that camera,it's as if you've decreased your memory."she says.

32.What does the word"it"in Paragraph 1 refer to?B
A.A child's birthday.
B.An important event.
C.A valuable photograph.
D.A family holiday.
33.How did Henkel develop her theory about the"photo-taking effect"?A
A.By carrying out an experiment.
B.By giving a questionnaire.
C.By interviewing a group of students.
D.By researching the findings of the others.
34.According to Paragraph 3,why are children's memories reduced?D
A.Flash lights are causing children to forget more things.
B.Parents are into listening to children's experiences.
C.Children are more into taking photos than experiencing.
D.Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences.
35.What's the purpose of this passage?B
A.To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.
B.To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.
C.To explain how to use cameras in an effective way.
D.To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.
