Trogmire Troll was dealing with a crisis. The new girl in class really liked him a lot. Trogmire was not happy about it.
Trogmire’s good friend, Tremor Troll, tried to comfort him.“What’s the big deal? I think Treasure Troll is kind of cute. And she seems to be nice enough.”
Trogmire swallowed his last bite of salad and glared at Tremor.“Then why don’t you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by herself at the other end of the cafeteria. March over there and ask her to be your sweetie-poo!”
“She’s crazy about you, not me,”Tremor replied.
“Well, I don’t want any girlfriend, especially not a weird（古怪的）,annoying one like her!”Trogmire growled（to make a sound to show anger）.
Tremor wouldn’t give up.“The only thing annoying about her is that she keeps writing you those notes and she stares.”
“Annoying love notes!”Trogmire interrupted. He took another sip of milk.“Did you notice those strange brown eyes? Why aren’t they normal red or pink?”
Tremor took another look at Treasure.“I think her face is a lovely shade of green. And her dark green curly hair is quite pretty. Besides, she’s very sweet and that’s what really matters.”
Trogmire stuck out his tongue.“I think I’m going to be sick! I’d better save my apple pies for later.”He crammed a small bag of Maggot Munchies into his even smaller shirt pocket. “The fact is, I have a problem. That girl is getting on my nerves!”
Tremor followed Trogmire’s example and decided to save his apple pies for later. However, he carefully placed the bag into his lunch box.“Do you have any ideas about how to solve your problem?”Tremor asked.
“I’m going to be mean and rude to her,”Trogmire announced.“I’ll call her names and make ugly faces at her.”
“That’s how you treat everyone,”Tremor reminded his friend.
Trogmire nodded.“It’s time that Treasure got to know the real Trogmire Troll!”

Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the immediate personal terror—of a volcano, an arrow, a stab（刺伤）in the back and other disasters— is directed against one’s self–disappears.
The kind of word that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified（不具体的）and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety—for good times may end. If the world is going badly—it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus；the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this unclear sense of unease.
It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work. While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom（症状）which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life–insurance policy which may have out–of–date provisions in it, into having a conference with Bill’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.
People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, and don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all or drive so tensely that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.
In the world that produces anxiety, _____.

A．people have sudden uneasiness

B．everything goes well

C．people are clear about their life

D．danger is almost everywhere

The author holds that _____.

A．anxiety is a good thing

B．anxiety is a symptom of mental illness

C．some anxiety can lead to changes for the better

D．no anxiety is bad for society

Accidents of the road tend to be caused by _____.

A．all those who are too anxious

B．all those who have anxiety

C．those who have no anxiety

D．those who are not anxious enough

The best title for the passage would be _____.

A．Anxiety

B．The Right Amount of Anxiety

C．Anxiety Vs Safety

D．Different Attitudes to Anxiety

When people lose legs after accidents or illnesses, emergency care and artificial limbs（假肢）often allow them to walk again. Newts （蝾螈） in the same situation, on the other hand, can grow limbs back on their own! Scientists have known for a long time that certain animals can re–grow limbs, but they haven’t quite figured out how these creatures do it.
Researchers have now come up with some new ideas. Their work may give people the ability to re – grow lost limbs. The researchers started with two simple experiments：when you cut a newt’s leg at the ankle, only the foot grows back；when you cut off a leg at the very end, the whole leg grows back. In both cases, the re–growth begins with stem cells. Stem cells can develop into nearly any type of cell in the body.
How do a newt’s stem cells know when to grow only a foot and when to re–grow a whole leg?
This question relates to another mystery. In newts, a cut–off leg will grow back only if the nerve bundle（神经束）in it also grows back , but if something prevents the nerve bundle from growing, the stem cells at the wound won’t re–grow a new leg.
In its study, a British team focused on a protein called nAG. When the team prevented nerves in a limb from growing, but added the nAG protein to stem cells in the limb, the limb still re–grew. That protein seems to guide limb re–growth. People have proteins that are similar to nAG. Further research into these materials may someday help human limbs recover by themselves.
In the experiments, the researchers cut off a newt’s foot or leg to find out _____.

A．what stem cells were	B．whether they would grow back
C．how long it would take to re–grow	D．how they would re – grow

A newt will re–grow its leg if _____.

A．its ankle was cut off but the nerve bundle was good

B．its leg was cut off and the nerve bundle stopped growing

C．its leg was cut off and the nerve bundle could grow back

D．its ankle and the nerve bundle were cut off

What do the underlined words “these materials” refer to?

A．Nerve bundles and proteins.	B．Proteins similar to nAG.
C．Stem cells and proteins.	D．Stem cells and nerve bundles.

The first sentence of the passage _____.

A．acts as a lead–in

B．shows where researchers got their new ideas

C．states the author’s opinion

D．describes the result of researchers’ studies

Pocket Tape – Recorders “Family and Home Magazine” test what’s on the market now.
Pearlcorder S702 $ 64
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn’t turn off automatically.
Tape length：30 minutes per side. Weight：240g.
Sony M9 $ 49.95
Small and very good looking, Sony’s latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape – recorders. Doesn’t switch off automatically, but a red light shows if the machine is still running.
Tape length：60 minutes per side. Weight：195g.
Sony M400 $ 115
Lots of little control buttons that make a noise are difficult to use. Recording was good but machine noise lost points. Tape counter and automatic switch – off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.
Tape length：60 minutes per side. Weight：230g.
Imperial OEM MC7 $ 29.95
Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own – make of cassette. No light to show it is on；no fast – forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.
Tape length：30 minutes per side. Weight：285g.
Philips 585 $ 80
Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm – designed for dictation. No recording light.
Tape length：15 minutes per side. Weight：220g.
The machine that produces the best recording with the least unwanted noise is the _____.

A．Pearlcorder S702	B．Sony M9
